The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

After reading Xiao Heding's letter, Emperor Xia sighed, then put the letter paper on the candle and lit it, watching the paper burn out and turn into fly ash, just like human life, which may wither at any time.

Then he asked Hai Dafu to bring a dagger, and pried open the lead-sealed brocade box. Inside the brocade box was a strange iron box made of metal with a weird keyhole, but there was no key in the box.

"Finally willing to give it to me!"

Emperor Xia smiled, and couldn't help but said: "It's a pity that it's been so long, it's not important to me anymore, everyone is dead, and death is like a lamp going out! You think I can't think about it, but in fact, I have figured it out a long time ago." Already!"

"Hai Banban, accompany me to the Zangshu Pavilion, no need to drive around." Emperor Xia smiled.

Hai Dafu respectfully said: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

The two of them didn't let the forbidden army follow, they walked to the library, Hai Dafu stretched out his hand and pushed the door, pushing hard. Um? There was no response from the door. What happened to the door that was never locked on weekdays? Seems like something is blocking it.

Just when Hai Dafu was suspicious and wanted to reach out to try again, he creaked...

The door opened, and a beautiful female officer stepped out. She didn't seem to expect that it was His Majesty, the female officer was frightened for a moment, and stared blankly at Emperor Xia.

Yan Xiaoxiao was really frightened, she didn't expect that the person who opened the door was Hai Dafu, the supervisor of ceremonies, and even more that Emperor Xia would come in person!

Didn't it mean that Zangshu Pavilion is a secluded place, and His Majesty would never come here? Why did I meet His Majesty after only two days in here! And so reckless!

Yan Xiaoxiao's face was pale with fright, she suddenly realized, knelt down and shouted: "Meet Your Majesty!"

Hai Dafu immediately asked, "What are you doing here?"

Yan Xiaoxiao said: "The slaves are sent to serve in the Library Pavilion."

Emperor Xia on the side nodded and said, "Get up."

Yan Xiaoxiao quickly stood up, then moved out of the way, and stood aside respectfully.

After Emperor Xia went in, he arranged for Hai Dafu to find an ancient book from the Library Pavilion, because he knew that the key was hidden in the book.

Hai Dafu began to look for it. Emperor Xia had nothing to do, and noticed the things on the central copy of the pavilion. When I approached and looked at it, I found a line written on the rice paper:

"Flowers drift by themselves, water flows by itself, one kind of lovesickness, two places of worry."

Emperor Xia praised: "Good words!"

Yan Xiaoxiao's cheeks flushed, she hesitated for a while, but she still came forward and explained: "Writing in random, I made His Majesty laugh."

Xia Huang looked sideways at Yan Xiaoxiao, and was not surprised at her appearance at such an age. Xia Huang had never seen any beauty before, but felt that this little girl had a good personality and had no natural fear of herself. Scared, it seemed that he was panicked because of his sudden arrival.

It was the panic of being caught doing something wrong.

"You just thought I was someone else, that's why you were scared?" Xia asked.

Yan Xiaoxiao's face turned pale. After all, she was young and didn't know how to hide it, but she still lied and said: "No, no, it's just that my mind was shaken when I first met His Majesty!"

"Are you deceiving me?" Emperor Xia deliberately put on a majestic look, and said, "In this palace, no one can deceive me yet!"

Yan Xiaoxiao's face turned pale, and she quickly knelt down and said, "Your servant is not lying."

Xia Huang saw that her mouth was stiff, smiled, then pointed to the teacup on the copywriting, and said: "There are two cups of teacups here, which means that you are entertaining people, and with that poem, could it be that you are in harmony with the palace?" A tryst with someone?"

Yan Xiaoxiao's heart was beating violently, and she didn't dare to continue to speak harshly, but she couldn't drag Xian Wang Xiao Rui, so she said: "The servant is willing to prove that he is dead, and I hope His Majesty will do it!"

Emperor Xia was taken aback, he didn't expect this little girl to be very strong, so he stopped teasing her, and then asked: "Get up, there are very few people in the library, working here, it must be very lonely."

Yan Xiaoxiao said respectfully: "With roses in my heart, I can always smell the fragrance of flowers. This servant feels that loneliness is a good medicine, which can make people see their hearts clearly."

"Loneliness is a good medicine, see your heart clearly. It's very insightful, yes, it's rare for you to be so open-minded at such a young age." Emperor Xia wanted to chat with Yan Xiaoxiao for a while, and asked, "What are you doing?" When did you enter the palace?"

Yan Xiaoxiao said: "Three months ago."

"Three months ago..." Emperor Xia smiled and asked, "It seems that you are going to be transferred to Zangshu Pavilion by yourself, right?"

Yan Xiaoxiao felt deeply frustrated, why could Emperor Xia guess everything, and guess so accurately? Seeing that Emperor Xia didn't look angry, she couldn't help asking: "How did Your Majesty guess that?"

Emperor Xia was quite proud, and said: "Three-month-old female officials who have just entered the palace will usually serve the concubines in the harem, or serve the princesses, and a cold place like Zangshu Pavilion will probably make them offended by old age. The maid of honor will take care of you, the Inner Court Secretary will not dare to crowd out a newcomer like you who has just entered the palace."

Once the new female officials entered the palace, once they were favored by the emperor, they skyrocketed. In addition, they did not offend anyone when they newly entered the palace, so the inner court secretary did not dare to crowd out them indiscriminately.

Yan Xiaoxiao kept silent, she felt that she could only keep silent in this situation.

Seeing her expression, Emperor Xia understood clearly, and asked: "Which palace guard is your ideal person? I am in a good mood today. If you tell me the truth, I will give you my blessing and allow you to leave the palace."

Yan Xiaoxiao raised her head suddenly, her brows beaming with joy, but then she became distressed, the person she liked was not a guard of the imperial army at all.

"My servant dare not lie to Your Majesty, my servant's lover is not in the palace." Yan Xiaoxiao said in a low voice.

Emperor Xia frowned, nodded, and said, "That's it."

At this moment, Hai Dafu finally found an ancient book, hurried down the stairs, and presented it to Emperor Xia.

Emperor Xia opened the book and found a strange key inside. He didn't shy away from Yan Xiaoxiao, opened the brocade box directly in front of her, and took out a roster and a stack of papers from the brocade box. There is a lot of content written on the paper, as well as portraits of people, a thick stack.

Emperor Xia glanced briefly, then threw the roster to Hai Dafu, and said, "Look it up."

Hai Dafu respectfully said: "Yes!"

Afterwards, Emperor Xia took out a portrait from the stack of papers. It was a beautiful woman with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, capturing her smiling face very accurately. Emperor Xia stretched out his hand and lightly touched the face of the woman's portrait. With mixed feelings, he sighed and locked the stack of papers in the brocade box again.

"Put the box away and store the key separately," Xia Huang said.

Hai Dafu picked up the brocade box and replied: "The villain understands."

When Emperor Xia turned to leave, he recalled the sentence he just saw, and couldn't help but read: "Flowers drift by themselves, water flows by itself, a kind of lovesickness, two places of sorrow..."

Respectfully sending His Majesty away, Yan Xiaoxiao let out a long sigh of relief, with a look of fluke on his face.

When it was time to have dinner at noon, Yan Xiaoxiao couldn't wait to find Ye Mei, wanting to tell her about the morning's events and ask her to give her an idea, but she never expected to find Ye Mei, but heard a very bad news:

Ye Mei angered the queen and accidentally smashed the treasure bestowed by His Majesty. The Secretary of the Inner Court has punished her heavily and expelled her from the palace!

Yan Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded, the two of them were fine when they separated in the morning, how did it become like this all morning?
