Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 880 The Legend of the Dark River 212

Bai Hehuai had a headache: "Then how can we leave here?"

"How many rules have you been guided to violate or circumvent?"

“Most of mine have been guided before, but some are repeated,” Bai Hehuai said after thinking for a moment.

Mu Qingyang also counted her own: "I still have two that I haven't come into contact with."

“I still have four left.” After saying that, Li Chu suddenly looked like she had just realized something: “Do you think it will only end after going through some fixed events?”

"What do you mean?"

"It means that many of these rules represent a major event, and it will only end when we get past that hurdle. To go back, we have to go through all the rules."

Bai Hehuai remembered: "You reminded me of this last time, and it seems you were right. But my rules are already finished. Do I have to wait until everyone else's are finished?"

After that conversation, Bai Hehuai and Mu Qingyang had a better understanding of the situation, but they could only go back and wait.

Or perhaps we could try to find an opportunity to contact other people.

For Li Chu, we've reached the next plot point.

The storyline about the Old Summer Palace is no longer included; it seems to have been skipped entirely.

It seems that their rules only apply within the palace, while everyone else is outside.

During the morning greetings, Consort Fucha revealed that she was pregnant.

In that case, it won't be long before I see Consort Qi's cat.

A few months later, the Queen held a flower-viewing banquet and invited everyone to attend.

Recently, Li Chu and Bai Hehuai have become closer in public.

The two of them standing together talking seemed perfectly normal to others.

Watching Consort Hua and the Empress engage in a heated debate, exchanging words back and forth.

Bai Hehuai sighed softly, "The women in the harem are confined within these square courtyards, feeling oppressed and without freedom, and they all fight over a man."

Li Chu hummed in agreement: "It's just an exchange of interests between the royal family and powerful families, except that women have to be sacrificed as intermediaries."

"Yes... By the way, today's flower-viewing banquet seems to be an important event, doesn't it?"

"Yes, it's closely related to one of them."

She didn't say the word "rules" directly.

Although this has shielded Bai Hehuai from prying eyes, he still needs to be careful outside.

"If you meet other people outside, don't talk about these things. Remember your current identity."

Bai Hehuai turned to look at her, and then nodded knowingly.

"The beautiful Mu didn't come today; she twisted her ankle and said she wanted to avoid it..."

Li Chu nodded; she knew immediately that today was also an event in accordance with Mu Yumo's rules.

She recalled the scene in the drama where Songzi went berserk and pounced on Consort Fucha, and at that time Consort Cao pushed Zhen Huan, trying to frame her.

One can't help but wonder if Mu Yumo has some kind of rule that prevents her from pushing herself away.

Before long, An Lingrong and Songzi's cat appeared in the corner.

At this moment, Shen Meizhuang suddenly walked over and pulled Li Chu aside to talk.

Such a coincidence made her wary. Could it be that this person had already met Wen Shichu and could no longer be trusted?

The plot has definitely changed a lot by now, after all, Fat Orange has been beaten up by herself and has rarely visited her lately.

But he still frequently dines at Suiyuxuan, presumably because he has some kind of constraint that forces him to come.

Shen Meizhuang said with a smile, "Huan'er, everyone is over there admiring the flowers and chatting. Why are you standing so far away, trying to find some peace and quiet? Come over and have a chat."

"I didn't sleep well last night and I'm feeling a bit listless, Sister Mei, I won't go over and join everyone."

"Is there something wrong with your health? Let the imperial physician examine you when we get back?"

Li Chu initially wanted to refuse, but then suddenly thought she could try her out: "Does Sister Mei have any trusted imperial physicians? I've never been in contact with the Imperial Hospital, so I don't know which physicians are reliable."

She never told Shen Meizhuang that her identity was closely related to Wen Shichu.

Upon hearing this, Shen Meizhuang's eyes flashed: "There is one who is quite useful, namely Imperial Physician Wen Shichu from the Imperial Hospital. Although he is young, his medical skills are quite good."

"To receive a single positive comment from you, sister, must mean you have been properly assessed by her."

It seems the two have indeed met before, and Shen Meizhuang is here today to guide him to break the rules.

"If Huan'er needs anything, just send someone to invite her. Let's go over and talk to everyone."

After Shen Meizang finished speaking, he pulled her into the crowd.

Li Chu did not resist. Although she walked over there, she still kept her distance from Consort Fucha.

"Huan'er, look, there's a cat over there. It looks very healthy and well-cared for. I wonder which palace it belongs to? Let's go take a look at it."

Shen Meizhuang suddenly spoke with interest.

Li Chu felt her acting was a bit awkward and unnatural, so she pulled her away, preventing her from going over.

"Sister Mei, have you forgotten that Huan'er is afraid of cats? Let's not go over there."

Zhen Huan disliked or was afraid of cats, so why would she touch that cat? She had a ready-made reason to refuse.

Those unfamiliar with the plot might not be able to distinguish between the truth and falsehood of Rule Nine, which could lead to unexpected problems.

Upon hearing this, Shen Meizhuang's expression stiffened: "It's my fault, I forgot that you're afraid of cats."

Her initially happy expression visibly turned indifferent, as if she couldn't be bothered to talk to Li Chu anymore.

If you can't get any food no matter what you try, what's the point of saying anything?

Li Chu smiled inwardly.

"Oh, my stomach—"

Just then, Songzi went berserk and pounced on Consort Fucha, who was applying face powder.

The crowd was thrown into a panic by a cat.

Seeing this, and realizing that no one was paying attention to her anymore, Li Chu retreated to the back, as the excitement had nothing to do with her.

She was so bored that she wanted to go out and sleep, watch TV series, or read novels.

Xiao Qi said, "Host, do you want to leave early?"

"You guessed it again?"

"I can tell from the host's expression that you should go into a world whose plot you don't know, so you won't be bored."

Li Chu chuckled and didn't refute its words.

*

After that day, Li Chu slacked off for a while longer.

She had completely taken control of Suiyuxuan. After she beat up those palace maids and eunuchs, they no longer dared to speak to her casually.

On this day, a banquet was held in the palace, which seemed like a good opportunity to talk to other people.

Li Chu also attended and even saw the rarely seen Empress Dowager. Today's event may be related to her Rule Ten.

But that doesn't matter anymore; it's easy for her to go back and claim illness.

Today we can avoid two rules: rule ten and rule eleven.

Rule Fifteen is false, and she has almost completed all her rules.

At the banquet, she saw Su Changhe, Su Muyu and Su Zhe, as well as Xie Qianji, the young servant standing behind the Emperor.

Consort Duan also came along, bringing her maid Jixiang, who is now Mu Xuewei.

And behind Shen Meizhuang, there was Caiyue, and Su Li'an was also there.
