The Ninth Princess Reigns Supreme [Transmigration] - Chapter 4

Xiao Rui had a good relationship with the palace people, and her mouth was tight. Her master had no conflict of interest with others, so she could always get some gossip, and unknowingly became Ning Zisheng’s “ears”.

“It was County Princess Chun Ning,” Xiao Rui said. “It seems that this county princess has strict rules, and it’s not easy to be her servant.”

“Do you know what the punished servant is called?” Ning Zisheng asked.

Xiao Rui thought for a while: “It should be Jiao’er.”

Ning Zisheng lowered her head and remained silent, thinking to herself, what exactly is this County Princess Chun Ning planning?

Letting her fall into the water, and then hurriedly rescuing her, and then publicly punishing the offending servant. No matter how you look at it, it seems to be done for Ning Zisheng to see.

The mother of the Ninth Princess Ning Zisheng, Chu Yan, has been in the palace for many years, but for some reason, she incurred the emperor’s displeasure. Even if she gave birth to a princess, her rank is still only a *cainu*, the lowest rank of a concubine.

Other princes and princesses could have their own separate palaces at the age of ten, but Ning Zisheng seemed to be forgotten by the emperor. Until she was twelve years old, she still squeezed here with Chu Yan, depending on each other for life.

With County Princess Chun Ning’s favor, there was no need to worry about her at all, so this move must have ulterior motives.

Ning Zisheng’s eyes gradually darkened.

Since she had come, she would be at ease. Chun Ning must have follow-up actions, and she would soon know her purpose.

••••

The autumn wind rustled, and Ning Zisheng turned around: “I have made up my mind, and today I will take your life here.”

A cold light flashed, and it was clear that the tip of the sword was about to pierce Liu Li’s body!

“No!”

Liu Li suddenly sat up from the bed, and found that everything just now was a dream, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Unknowingly, she was covered in cold sweat, and even her underwear was soaked.

Perhaps it was because she had just come here and was not used to sleeping on this porcelain pillow, and she was also worried about the [must die] achievement, so she actually dreamed that Ning Zisheng drew her sword at her!

Being an enemy of the destined by heaven, the real dragon and heavenly woman was really too terrifying, even in her dreams she wanted to kill her!

Liu Li wanted to cry but had no tears. She looked up and saw that the sky was just dawning, but she was already completely sleepless. She then called out to the outside: “Someone.”

Today it was Yan’er who was on night duty, and she came in after hearing the sound: “Why is the county princess awake? It’s only Yin time now. Would you like to sleep for a while longer?”

“No more,” Liu Li said. “Go and put hot water, I want to take a bath.”

The configuration of County Princess Chun Ning’s residence was still very high. There was a separate small indoor hot spring specially used for bathing.

Yan’er was quick and soon put the hot water in place, and then put in some medicinal packets prepared by the imperial doctor, with a faint herbal fragrance, saying that it was specially prepared by the imperial doctor for the various palaces, which was beneficial to the body; finally, she sprinkled a handful of crimson petals, which contrasted with the tea-colored water, and the color was very eye-catching.

…Although this fragrance made Liu Li feel that she was soaking in a large cup of tea.

Above the hot spring, smoke lingered, Liu Li half-closed her eyes, enjoying Yan’er’s skillful head massage, and suddenly her heart moved, and she saw the system that existed in her mind.

Without opening your eyes, you can see the panel glowing light blue.

Liu Li said in her mind: “System, can you hear me?”

Soon, a big “YES” appeared in front of her.

…Bilingual system, intelligent.

So Liu Li tentatively asked another question: “What is the definition of the destined by heaven, the real dragon and heavenly woman?”

Although the literal meaning of this word was already very obvious, Liu Li still wanted to confirm if there was any hidden information that she didn’t know.

In less than a second, the YES on the panel disappeared, and then the information Liu Li needed appeared.

“Keywords you may need: the destined by heaven, the real dragon and heavenly woman, luck, favorability…”

By reading these entries one by one, Liu Li roughly understood.

In each world, there is a certain amount of luck, and in the world of “The West Wind at Dusk” she is in, there are a total of 100 million points of luck.

The destined by heaven, the real dragon and heavenly woman refers to a person who is born with more than half of the luck value. In other words, Ning Zisheng, as destined by heaven, the real dragon and heavenly woman in “The West Wind at Dusk,” has at least 50 million points of luck.

The more luck a person has, the more important they are in this world, which is also in line with Ning Zisheng’s identity as the empress in the original story.

And luck also has a characteristic, which is “those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish,” which means that if you unknowingly form a grudge against someone with high luck, you will be unlucky.

…No wonder Ning Zisheng fell into the water before, which would trigger Liu Li’s inevitable death ending.

“Is it possible for the destined by heaven, the real dragon and heavenly woman to change?” Liu Li asked again.

The system paused: “Yes, after calculation, the probability of the destined by heaven, the real dragon and heavenly woman in this world changing is 0%. It is recommended that the host do not try.”

Well, Liu Li thought, it’s equivalent to saying that Ning Zisheng is the little ancestor of the entire world, and if you offend her, you will die.

But this is also within her range of acceptance. After all, Ning Zisheng has the talent of an emperor, and it is impossible to shake her with her own identity as a modern person. It is more realistic to hug her thigh.

She planned to visit Ning Zisheng today to brush up her favorability, otherwise, if she has nightmares again, she will really not be able to bear it.

But Liu Li had previously shown her goodwill to her so obviously. With Ning Zisheng’s IQ, she would definitely notice something was wrong. How should she disguise it better?

Got it! Liu Li suddenly opened her eyes, startling Yan’er: “County Princess, did I hurt you?”

“No,” Liu Li said. “How is my mother’s health recently? Does His Majesty allow people to visit her?”

Yan’er replied softly: “Princess Bao’an naturally needs to recuperate, but you are not an outsider. It is only natural for a daughter to visit her mother.”

The original owner’s mother, Princess Bao’an, was not in good health and was recuperating in the palace.

However, according to the four servants’ implicit explanations, coupled with Liu Li’s own brain supplement, the original owner was actually not very filial – Princess Bao’an doted on her daughter, which fostered the original owner’s terrible character. She was accustomed to her mother’s various indulgences, but did not reciprocate the same love.

And for the situation of the female lead Ning Zisheng, Liu Li couldn’t be more clear.

In the original story, she and her mother depended on each other for life in this deep palace since childhood, and it was also because her mother was killed by the villain that she vowed to ascend the throne. It can be said that her mother’s position in Ning Zisheng’s heart is unmatched.

Liu Li thought, then let’s play the emotional card.

••••

In the Penglai Palace, the servant helped Princess Bao’an up: “Your Highness, are you still feeling unwell?”

Princess Bao’an slept all night, but her body was still weak, and she only felt a headache: “Massage my head.”

The servant did as she was told, worried: “You didn’t take your medicine last night and went to sleep. You must take it today.”

“Forget it,” Princess Bao’an said with a bitter smile. “With my body, I know that my days are numbered. Even if I take more medicine, it will only be a matter of time.”

The servants in the room knelt down in an instant: “Your Highness!”

Who in this palace doesn’t know that the emperor attaches great importance to his adopted sister, Princess Bao’an? Countless precious medicinal materials are sent to the Imperial Hospital like flowing water every day, and then made into decoctions and sent to this Penglai Palace for Princess Bao’an to take.

The servants in this room only hoped that Princess Bao’an’s health would improve and that she could live safely and peacefully –

The emperor has ordered that if something happens to Princess Bao’an, they will all be buried with her!

“Forget it,” Princess Bao’an sighed. She was always kind and would not make things difficult for these servants. “I’ll drink it then.”

The servants then got up, and only after watching Princess Bao’an drink a few mouthfuls of the bitter medicinal juice did they breathe a sigh of relief, and then handed her a candied fruit to relieve the bitterness in her mouth.

“Ouch…”

Princess Bao’an tried her best to endure it, but was still nauseated by the remaining taste of the medicine. She didn’t drink much just now, and now she vomited it all out again.

Liu Li just came in and saw this scene.

“Your Highness, the county princess is here.”

The servant who was patting Bao’an’s back hurriedly told her, and Bao’an immediately raised her head, her eyes full of surprise: “Li’er.”

The moment Liu Li saw Bao’an’s appearance, she was stunned in place.

Princess Bao’an’s face was exactly the same as her modern mother’s. However, her mother had already passed away, and Liu Li hadn’t seen her for a long time.

Seeing someone who looked like her mother, no one would be indifferent. Even if she knew that Bao’an was just a character in the book, Liu Li couldn’t help but substitute her into her real mother at this moment.

She called out almost imperceptibly: “…Mom.”

Princess Bao’an didn’t hear Liu Li’s words clearly, but suddenly remembered something, turned her head happily but sadly, her words carrying some satisfaction, and a little bit of grievance: “Why did you think of me today?”

Liu Li felt a pang of heartache when she heard these words. Thinking about it, the original owner was too spoiled and must have said a lot of thoughtless words in the past, hurting her mother’s heart.

This was why Princess Bao’an was both happy and sad to see her.

“You may all withdraw.”

Liu Li said softly to the servants, and they put away the medicine bowl, bowed, and left.

Princess Bao’an sat on the chair and turned her head, half expecting, half not hoping: “Just take a look and leave, lest you catch my illness.”

What came into her eyes was Liu Li’s red eyes, on the verge of tears.

Her beloved daughter had always been proud and never had this appearance. Princess Bao’an became anxious in an instant: “What’s wrong? What grievances have you suffered?”

Liu Li subconsciously raised her hand to wipe away her tears, forcing a smile: “I haven’t been wronged.”

She walked over and sat down on the thick blanket at Princess Bao’an’s feet, completely disregarding etiquette. However, County Princess Chun Ning was not someone who knew what etiquette was in the first place, so doing this would not be considered out of character.

Liu Li rested her head on Princess Bao’an’s knee, wrapped her arms around her legs, and said, “With mother and the emperor in this palace, who dares to bully me?”

Her original intention was to comfort Bao’an, but this expression fell into Bao’an’s eyes, but it was a forced smile, with tears in her eyes, and she immediately became anxious and burned, her pale hands holding Liu Li’s face: “Tell mother, what happened?”

Even the tone and voice were exactly like Liu Li’s modern mother, as if they were carved out of the same mold.

“……” Liu Li was silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.

She originally planned to come to her original owner’s mother to sit for a while, and by the way, get some information. Later, she would go to visit the female lead Ning Zisheng, sell miserably and play the family card, praising the kinship between herself and her mother.

Ning Zisheng valued her mother very much, and doing so might make her impression of Liu Li better.

But Princess Bao’an was staring at her mother’s skin, and even if Liu Li had thousands of schemes, it was difficult to speak at this time.

So she just rubbed against Princess Bao’an with her head and said softly:

“Nothing, I miss you.”
