Chapter 2 Sudden Overtime
After my vacation, the System notified me to work overtime.
Before leaving, I had completed the task and saved the villain. In theory, he should have become a Wise Ruler, escaped his original fate, and kept the world stable.
I wondered if the villain, who had died in his arms, would now treat me like a monster after I resurrected.
【Please host find a reasonable excuse yourself.】
I sighed helplessly and adapted to the body's current state.
In the mission world, the System replicated my original body one-to-one. Injuries and death didn't matter, making it very human-like.
This body had the same hairstyle and clothes as a regular palace maid, blending in unnoticed among the palace staff.
It was perfect for listening to palace gossip.
The cleaning maids chattered softly.
"Gan Lu Hall's Wen Ruo is just a crime minister's daughter who ended up in a brothel. She has no status and dares to offend the emperor. I wonder what bewitched him."
I heard rumors that because she resembled someone, the emperor...
"They're sisters. I say the fox charm runs in the blood."
Wen Ruo?
I hadn't heard that name in a long time and paused.
When I first entered this world, the System assigned me the identity of a crime minister's daughter with the same name, Wen Xin. She had a sister who was a brothel refugee named Wen Ruo.
If the names weren't the same...
I thought it over, unaware that the atmosphere had suddenly quieted until a shaky voice called out, "Your Highness."
My breath caught, and before my mind could react, my body knelt with the others.
This was the reaction I'd learned in the palace. When seeing a noble, fit in.
From a distance, the cold voice reached clearly.
"Continue, I still want to hear it."
The two maids kowtowed, begging for mercy, looking pitiful.
But the person on the dragon sedan showed no pity. He laughed lightly. "Truly boring."
"Drag them down and execute with a cane."
