Quick Transmigration: Hosts, We're Only Responsible for Counterattacking

Chapter 411 The Holy Monk Seeks Marriage (15)

He looks like he's about to go crazy.

He wasn't angry because of those words, but because he felt this woman was ungrateful. Playing hard to get is fine, but using it too often becomes annoying.

But at this moment, he didn't intend to expose it.

She simply raised her hand and followed Xuan Li to offer incense.

Shen Yun watched the backs of the group, a slight smile playing on his lips.

She roughly understood what Xia Yan wanted to do.

But the main battlefield wasn't the Paradise Temple, so she could only obey whatever Xia Yan wanted to do.

It won't be long before things happen just like in the story.

An imperial edict brought her into the palace.

She doesn't resist the fact that this happened.

Since the main battlefield is right there, and Xuan Li's attitude towards her is unclear, staying here won't lead to any progress.

It would be better for the two of them to separate; perhaps that would give his mind, which is full of Buddhist scriptures, a chance to calm down.

Sure enough, the next morning, an imperial edict was issued, ordering her to enter the palace for quiet meditation.

The eunuch outside the door looked impatient, his eyes filled with disapproval as he stared at Shen Yun.

I just don't know if he's on the Empress's or the Imperial Noble Consort's side.

"Miss Jiuzhi, you should kneel down to receive the decree." Shen Yun leaned casually against the doorway, her eyes lowered and brows furrowed. "Kneel down? Your master told me to kneel?"

The eunuch was speechless. Wasn't kneeling down to receive the imperial decree the proper thing to do? Why did the master need to say it?

"Get lost if you have nothing to say!"

The eunuch was furious and said with trembling fingers, "Miss Jiuzhi, even if I am just a eunuch, you cannot humiliate me like this."

Shen Yun fell silent; she really hadn't expected this.

"The Emperor prefers gentle and tender women. If Miss Jiuzhi were to enter the palace, she would likely not have a good ending."

Shen Yun picked up the bright yellow imperial edict and asked innocently, "Didn't you say I was to enter the palace for quiet cultivation? How come quiet cultivation won't end well? If that's the case, then I won't go."

Although it was ostensibly a retreat for meditation, everyone knew the Emperor's true intention: to use the pretext of meditation to gain another concubine.

But while the principle is there, it's not something that's explicitly stated.

If it were made public, it would make Emperor Xia Yan seem like a terrible person.

The eunuch's face turned pale and then red, but he indeed refrained from uttering any more sarcastic remarks.

Instead, she pleaded, "It was this servant's clumsy tongue that misunderstood His Majesty's meaning. There was nothing wrong with the meditation retreat. Miss Jiuzhi, please come back to the palace with this servant."

Shen Yun's expression was inscrutable. He only glanced at the eunuch, who immediately stiffened and broke out in a cold sweat.

He was greatly alarmed. Although he was not Xia Yan's personal eunuch, he often walked in front of the emperor and had seen all kinds of people. But today, he was actually frightened by a young woman, which was really illogical.
