Chapter 80 It’s useless no matter how beautiful your smile is

Prince Ning looked at her, and as he said, his sickly and handsome face was full of trust, and his eyes were full of appreciation. He even smiled at her, which was very sultry and could easily soften people's hearts.

"..." Gu Xi.

There is no need to entrust such trust.

It doesn’t matter how beautiful your smile is!

She can't bear such a heavy pressure!

"If you send a message to me as soon as possible, I will leave here as soon as possible." King Ning threw out the bait.

"Okay!" Gu Xi nodded immediately, as if she was afraid that he would regret it.

"..." Prince Ning.

She really wants to get rid of this trouble.

Prince Ning felt that his heart, which had just felt better, was blocked again!

"Your Majesty, I have some trouble asking to see the Queen Mother. I may have to wait two more days." Gu Xi added.

Prince Ning, who was deeply disliked, didn't want to speak.

"I think the prince is tired, so he should take a rest. I'll go back first."

Gu Xi pretended not to understand Prince Ning's resentment and was in a good mood.

When Gu Xi left Prince Ning's room, he was slapped in the face by the system page.

There is a new mission.

Gu Xi glanced at the content and thought that the system was now able to move smoothly, and the tasks posted were what she had to do.

I don’t know why it asked me to complete the tasks? Looking at it now, several tasks are just following the trend, as if it is giving itself good things for free.

Moreover, the things given to me are very useful. They either improve my abilities or help me save people's lives.

But Gu Xi knows that all gifts have already been marked with a price, and she will have to pay them sooner or later.

She doesn't think the system will come to her for no reason, and will help her without expecting anything in return.

It’s just that she still doesn’t understand the purpose behind it.

Gu Xi also put aside these doubts for the time being and checked the tasks given by the system.

[Main mission: Send a message to the Queen Mother]

[Task Reward: Movable Type Printing

Wrote a good-looking pornographic novel and are eager to publish it to make money? With this tool, you can print out dozens of copies in half an hour]

[Task background: Mother and son, who have been separated for eighteen years, can only exchange three or four letters a year, becoming strangers who care about each other the most and are familiar with each other.

But now, even this last tie has been severed by the unscrupulous fool!

With a kind heart, you are willing to become a little white dove and deliver messages for them.

You flapped your wings, flew over many obstacles, flew over many palace walls, and finally flew in front of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother ordered someone to bring a plate of poisonous cakes to you. Do you want to eat it, or don’t eat it, or don’t eat it...]

When Gu Xi saw the rewards given by the system, she couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

Movable type printing seems to be able to eliminate the complicated process of engraving wooden boards in the early stage of printing, saving time, effort and money.

With this technology, it will be easier for her to earn money, and she will be more comfortable lying down in the future.

Gu Xi looked at the mission background again and couldn't help but think of Prince Ning's life experience.

Prince Ning is the youngest son of the late emperor and the biological son of the Queen Mother.

It is said that after the Queen Mother gave birth to the eldest princess in her early years, her body was damaged and she was unable to do anything for more than ten years.

Therefore, the Queen Mother took the current emperor under her lap and raised her. However, when the Queen Mother was thirty-five years old, she actually became pregnant and gave birth to a prince.

At that time, the late emperor was almost fifty years old, and he was so happy that he had a son from the queen, so he was naturally overjoyed.

Therefore, King Ning was given the title of king as soon as he was born. He was still a one-character king and was given the title of Ning. It was because the late emperor hoped that he would be peaceful and happy.

King Ning was born with intelligence. He could recite the Three-Character Sutra when he was one year old. He had begun to recite the Four Books and Five Sutras when he was three years old. He also had a photographic memory.

This made the late emperor and the queen mother both worried and happy. Of course, they were happy that Prince Ning had a great talent, and if he cultivated it carefully, he would definitely become a wise king.

The worry is that he is too young!

His brothers had already matured, but the late emperor was also in poor health and could no longer protect him for a few years.

Once the new emperor succeeds to the throne, the young Prince Ning will most likely be eliminated.

At that time, the battle for the right to inherit the throne had become fierce. The late emperor did not like the current emperor, but for Prince Ning, he chose to let the current emperor succeed him.

After all, the current emperor was also raised by the Queen Mother. With this kind of mother-son love, he should be able to protect Prince Ning after he succeeds to the throne.

It's a pity that the current emperor is also a white-eyed wolf.

After he ascended the throne, although he did not kill King Ning, he immediately gave King Ning a fief and assigned King Ning, who was only seven years old at the time, to the fief. He was not allowed to return to the capital without being summoned.

King Ning's fiefdom is in Chizhou, the northernmost part of the Qin State, close to the land of Beiyan. Not only is it a poor place to live in, there are still wars and chaos.

From then on, Prince Ning really never came back for a day!

It's not that he doesn't want to go back, it's that the emperor won't let him go back.

When Gu Xi thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh when he read the first sentence in the mission background.

There is no family affection in the Tian family, so who cares who suffers.

Now in the eyes of the Queen Mother, Prince Ning has been slandered as a traitor to the country. He does not know whether he is alive or dead. He is under house arrest and cannot do anything for him.

It must be getting more and more painful, with the heart of an old mother...

Alas.

Gu Xi sighed again. Although the Queen Mother is the most noble woman in the world, she is also a miserable person.

Blood and family ties are sour to say the least. She has never had this kind of feeling.

But Gu Xi envied this kind of sincere mother-son relationship and was willing to help.

Gu Xi continued to look at the background of the current mission. When he saw the last sentence, his pupils shrank in surprise, but soon a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

She remembered that in the dream, the Queen Mother had been unconscious, and the Emperor asked the miracle doctor from Yaowang Valley for help, but it was still in vain.

To this end, the emperor also issued a medical search order and gave huge rewards. Whoever cured the queen mother would be given a knighthood to show his filial piety.

The Queen Mother had been in a coma, and it turned out to be poisoning.

Of course Gu Xi would not think that this plate of poisonous cakes was specially given to her by the Queen Mother.

Not to mention that she is just a lowly civilian girl now, even if she is still the legitimate daughter of the Hou family, the Queen Mother can kill her with just one word.

There is no need to resort to such a subtle, sinister and despicable method as poisoning.

Therefore, this plate of poisonous cakes must have been created by someone in the palace to harm the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother's situation was worse than she expected.

She sympathized with the Queen Mother and wanted to see the Queen Mother as soon as possible and complete her mission of sending messages.

But it is indeed difficult to see the Queen Mother. This matter cannot be rushed. She needs to think carefully and plan.

The top priority is the afternoon's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting competition.

-

After a day of fermentation, the news that Gu Xi was going to compete with the four great masters of music, chess, calligraphy and painting has spread throughout the capital.

Tea shops, wine shops, restaurants, gambling houses, any place where people gather, they are discussing this matter.

Although Gu Xi is known as the most talented woman in the capital, few people think that she can win the four famous families.

After all, the four masters have all been famous for a long time, such as the national master Li Pingru, the calligrapher Liu Wenshu, and the painting master Mo Yang, all of whom were Gu Xi's grandfathers.
