Chapter 1: Sentenced to Death

“Imperial edict! Concubine Gongsun Wanru, you have committed heinous crimes: harming the imperial heir, murdering concubines…

You have also conspired with the traitor Gongsun Li, colluded with the enemy, betraying your country… stealing the border defense maps, leading to the fall of the border city and countless displaced people… Your crimes are unforgivable…

You are sentenced to death by waist-severing.

The execution will take place at Caishikou market three days from now.

So ordered!”

The eunuch delivering the edict flicked his dust whisk, waiting to see her kneel and beg for mercy, clinging to his leg and pleading for pity!

Tsk tsk, the number one beauty in the capital is going to die, what a pity!

If she begged him, before her death, he could let her enjoy some… a woman’s happiness…

He wondered if the emperor’s women were… easy…

“What do I do, Xiaodu, Xiaodu! I’ve been sentenced to death!! Didn’t you say I’m extremely important to you, that you’d die without me? You’re so powerful, you can even talk in my head, so quickly think of a way…”

She was so anxious, this suddenly appearing thing called Xiaodu only existed in her mind!

Intangible, otherwise, she would be holding its neck and shaking it silly!

“Don’t panic, don’t panic, accept the edict first! Get rid of that person first…”

Xiaodu, the system, directed with a heavy heart!

Oh, how unlucky, a bad start, the first mission, encountered a space-time storm, not only lost contact with the main computer, but also found such an unreliable host!

By the way, it is clearly a system for a concubine who brings disaster to the country, and the original target should be the woman named Gongsun Wanyan!

Unexpectedly, there were two women in the Gongsun family who looked exactly alike and had the same bloodline. The system’s positioning was inaccurate, resulting in a binding error,

and it mistakenly attached itself to this Gongsun Wanru, a broken ship!!!

With this innocent little white rabbit appearance, she’s going to seduce the emperor and become a seductive concubine?

It felt that it should be refitted as soon as possible!

Unfortunately, it could only think about it. It was just a novice treasure, originally sent out for training!

These concubine systems, one binding per host, require the host to complete the task, obtain enough points, to be summoned back through the main computer.

Then start the next mission! Choose a new host!

Unexpectedly, the main computer lost connection, the host was wrongly bound, and it couldn’t be changed, so it could only make do!

You know, if the host dies before completing the task, it will enter a dead machine state, floating in the universe.

Unless it’s lucky enough to drift back to its original planet, otherwise, after a long time, it will completely dissipate!

In order for her to complete the task, it used a desperate measure, forcing her to seduce the emperor,

Unexpectedly, it started badly, and was thrown into the cold palace as soon as it appeared!

Now, she’s going to be executed by waist-severing…

Oh…

The system was heartbroken~~

“Oh… then… I accept the edict!”

The eunuch delivering the edict…

Was she dazed from staying in the cold palace, or had she accepted death?

This is a death sentence, a death sentence, why did he feel like he delivered the edict in vain!!

Wanru tilted her head in a daze, looking at the eunuch with a puzzled look, meaning: I’ve accepted the edict, why aren’t you leaving yet? Are you staying for dinner?

She looked back at the desolate cold palace, thought about the remaining food, and decisively put on an innocent look!

She’s poor… refusing a free meal~~

The eunuch: Unexpectedly, she has a stubborn personality, she even cherishes the cold palace where she has lived for two months, it seems that she is unwilling to die, even so, she didn’t beg for mercy, she has backbone…

Shaking his head, he admired her in his heart, put away his dirty thoughts, and turned to leave the cell…

Oh, speaking of which, wasn’t Grand Minister Gongsun the most fond of this daughter? Why didn’t he take her away before he rebelled with the rebels~

What a pity, such a beautiful woman, is about to die…

Unaware, Wanru watched the man leave, quickly lay down in the straw pile, and then summoned Xiaodu!

Speaking of which, how did this ‘thing’ called Xiaodu appear in her body, she was still confused…

Her biological father was Gongsun Li, the Minister of State of Dayan, and her mother was the youngest daughter of the national protector general. With such a strong background, she should have been born into a wealthy family!

But it wasn’t the case, only because she was a twin!

In Dayan, a male and a female twin was considered a blessing from heaven, but if both were girls or boys, it was considered ominous, a bad omen!

If one wasn’t removed, it would bring disaster to the family!

Isn’t that ironic!

It is said that when they were born, as the later born, she was originally to be drowned!

Perhaps the woman, as a new mother, still had a trace of compassion, so she kept her!

After that, she lived in the back garden of the Minister’s mansion, as an ominous, invisible creature for 16 years!

Although she had food and clothing, she had no freedom!

She thought she would live like this for the rest of her life, but unexpectedly, that day she was watching the sun in the courtyard, when a golden thing suddenly flew from the sky and knocked her unconscious!

When she woke up, she had a system called Xiaodu in her head! ~

Although she didn’t know why this ‘thing’ always said that if it couldn’t complete the task, it would die!

But it didn’t prevent her from being happy to have a friend to talk to!

As a result, before she could enjoy her happy days, she was drugged by her nanny and sent to the palace to serve the emperor in the middle of the night!

She couldn’t understand why they went to all that trouble to drug her, making even her dearest nanny a comfort in her dreams!

That was her dearest nanny, who taught her to read and sing her to sleep when she was young…

Actually, as long as she didn’t have to be kept in that small world, even if it was only one day of freedom, she would be willing to marry in her place!

Unfortunately, when she was in the sedan chair, she was in a daze the whole time, she didn’t see the bustling streets in the storybooks, the sweet sugar figurines…

After entering the palace, she was told to serve the emperor, even after Xiaodu’s all-round “training”,

she was still too nervous, as a result, her first time serving the emperor was a mess, in her nervousness, she almost kicked the emperor’s… you know what…

Then she was quickly thrown into the cold palace!

She thought she would be confined in the cold palace until she grew old, but unexpectedly, two months later, her nominal father rebelled against the emperor. She heard from the little eunuch who delivered food to the cold palace that when the news reached the capital, the Minister’s mansion was already empty…

She wasn’t sad, because she had never received anything anyway!

But she didn’t want to die, and she didn’t want Xiaodu to die!

But, what did it just say? She didn’t understand, what’s crossing over? What is that?

“So, what do you mean by crossing a big prison?”

“Oh, I’ll explain it to you, but you won’t understand, it’s just ‘whoosh’, taking you away from Dayan, don’t you want freedom?

There, there’s no emperor, no minister, you can do whatever you want, and you don’t have to worry about anyone catching you again!

How good!

I’ll tell you more about it when we get there!

It’s just that life might be a bit hard!

According to my prediction, at the latest three days later, at midnight, a once-in-a-century transit of Venus will occur, at that time, the space-time barrier will become very weak, with my current energy, I can still take you for a cross-time travel, while there are still three days left, you should quickly prepare, bring more food and necessities…”

Although it bound the wrong host, after two months of getting along, it quite liked this silly little girl, staying here, she would die in three days, even if she escaped, under the pursuit of the imperial power, this woman who had never seen the world, probably wouldn’t run far…

So, it decided to be kind, take her, and escape far away…
