108 His Majesty Pouts (2/2)

Ning Fu cursed himself an idiot as he walked up to the monarch and offered him his own wine jar.

He knew he shouldn't allow the emperor to drink any more wine but he couldn't stop his steps that lead him involuntarily towards the said monarch and before he could make a conscious decision, he had already offered his own wine jar to the monarch.

The proud Son of Heaven l looked up at him and kept on blinking his eyes at him as if he couldn't really decide if the wine jar was for him.

Ning Fu prompted, ”For you, Your Majesty.'

At his words, a beatific smile lit up Su Li's face but she still confirmed, ”Are you sure?”

When the only response to her words was a positive shake of the other person's head, she happily and clutched the wine jar and held it in her arms.

It looked as if she was afraid that the other person might just change their mind and ask her to return it.

But then her mind caught up with the words the other person had said and she frowned.

She pointed at the person with her finger, ”You.”

”Yes, Your Majesty” Ning Fu's words had a lilting end as if coaxing the monarch.

Su Li shook her head.

She felt that she was thinking too much as she was drunk.

How could a commoner on the streets recognise her since generally, she remained inside the high walls of the Imperial Palace?

Still, she furrowed her brows to see if she could recognise the other person but all she saw was a silhouette of a man looking at her in concern.

She tried to shake her head to shake the cobwebs and the haze of the alcohol but all it did was made her feel even dizzier so she gave up on the idea.

Anyways, even if the other person recognised her, what could they do to her that she hadn't already experienced?

She had already died twice and both times in excruciating pain so it wasn't as if she was afraid of death but that also reminded her that she was afraid of one thing – the so-called 'System'.

Now that she thought about it, the System had been silent for too long.

Is that how a system was supposed to work?  All the dramas about such systems she had watched in her original world always had systems that would help their hosts or talk to them from time to time or act cute.

But it was just her bad luck to be saddled with a system that didn't even show its face once it had given her the secondary task.

Oh! That also reminded her that the system hadn't told her of the primary task as of yet.
