"Master Si, this is a gift from King Zhong, and he said it must be delivered to Master Si."

"The gift of the loyal king?" Si Jin closed the book in her hand with a smile, and looked up at the big box in front of the other party.

He got up from his seat, walked to the front of the box, and reached out to open the box.

After seeing the contents of the box clearly, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Not for anything else, just because the box was full of gold, silver and jewels, as if they were worthless, a large box was filled to the brim.

"Does the emperor know about this?"

"The emperor said that all the ceremonies are to be handled by Mr. Si."

"Hmm..." Si Jin nodded, "Then send these things to the private treasury."

"Yes, the slave obeys."

Si Jin glanced at the contents of the box again, and waved her hands: "Go, cough cough."

"Cough cough cough-"

Si Jin covered her mouth and coughed several times suddenly.

It was just a slight cough at first, and then it gradually became more severe, until the cough became more and more violent, as if something was about to be coughed up.

The man took a careful look at Si Jin: "If Mr. Si is not feeling well, you might as well ask the imperial doctor to come over for a checkup."

"No need, you are busy with your work, it's just a trivial matter, remember, don't tell the emperor about this matter, the affairs of the court and China are busy recently, so that he won't worry."

"But……"

"When I am free, I will explain to the emperor myself, don't worry, I will not joke about my life."

"The slave understands."

The eunuch was about to leave after replying, Si Jin seemed to think of something suddenly: "By the way, King Zhong is a prince after all, and his gifts cannot be received in vain. You follow me to the private treasury and pick something in return. At least it's a good thing to reciprocate."

"If King Zhong knows, he will be very happy."

"Yeah." Si Jin nodded with a smile.

The gift for the loyal king does not need to be too expensive, just choose a relatively decent gift.

Si Jin took someone to the private warehouse, and under the watchful eye of the other party, selected one from the private warehouse, found a box and put it in it.

Murong Qi's private treasury is said to be a private treasury, but in fact it cannot be completely regarded as a private treasury.

The Ministry of Households is in charge of the country's money and taxation, but not the affairs of the palace. The money in the harem has another management agency. As for the emperor's private treasury, basically all the tribute items will go into the private treasury. If the emperor needs to reward ministers and concubines , They all take things out of private storage.

But Murong Qi's harem is like this, naturally there will be no rewards.

As for the ministers, they rarely received rewards from Murong Qi.

In this way, the long-term accumulation of inventory in this private warehouse is amazing enough.

Si Jin got the key to the private treasury from Murong Qi, and didn't intend to do anything, but just got a gift in return this day, so there was no need to say hello to Murong Qi.

After delivering the gift, Si Jin returned to her normal state and continued to silently write the knowledge in her memory.

On the other hand, as the selection of the crown prince gradually got on the right track, Murong Qi, who was reluctant to take care of it, gradually became busy.

The ministers of the court were headed by the cabinet, and the Imperial Academy was attached to the cabinet. In order to select a suitable prince, the Imperial Academy had to devote its main energy to this matter, hoping to select a suitable heir for Rongguo.

In contrast, Si Jin, who is almost certain to become a queen, is getting more and more relaxed in her life.

Ruyi came out of the cold palace, and has been by Si Jin's side all the time, her state is completely different from when she was serving Concubine Hong.

Although she seldom talked much back then, she was still willing to chat with Concubine Hong.

But now, apart from doing her job well, she doesn't talk much anymore.

After entering the palace, Si Jin lived in Weiyang Palace most of the time. Before Murong Qi was not busy, the two always sat opposite each other in the imperial study, dealing with memorials and copying and reading books at the same time.

However, the government has been too busy recently. Apart from the selection of the crown prince, there was an urgent report in the coastal area. The storm at sea caused heavy rain and some houses were flooded. The government had to pay attention to it.

All kinds of things superimposed, Murong Qi had been discussing with civil and military officials in the previous court, and delivered orders one after another, and sometimes it was the end of Haishi when he came back.

In order not to disturb Si Jin's rest, Murong Qi simply changed to another place to rest.

On weekdays, I occasionally want to see it, but it is easy to ignore something.

Only Ruyi noticed something.

"Master Si, you seem to be a little lethargic recently?"

"Is there?" Si Jin said, yawning silently.

"Master Si, is this servant going to teach the imperial doctor?" Ruyi whispered.

"No need," Si Jin waved his hand, not paying any attention to the matter, "Maybe it's because the weather has been colder recently, that's why I'm sleepy."

Ruyi frowned, she didn't want to say more, but she still couldn't help it: "My lord, the emperor sent a servant to take care of you. He must hope that you will not make any mistakes. If you have something wrong, it will be difficult for the servant to explain to the emperor."

"Okay," Si Jin looked up, "Let me tell you, you help me hide it. In fact, I have been busy with the affairs of the court recently. I see that the emperor is busy with affairs, and I am a little worried. I can't sleep at night and naturally feel sleepy during the day. There is really nothing wrong with my body." question."

Ruyi hesitated a little: "If the emperor knows about this, he will definitely be worried."

"That's why I said you don't want to talk about it," Si Jin smiled at her, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Ruyi still has doubts, but it's hard to say anything more to Si Jin.

Ruyi didn't mention it, and Si Jin didn't take the initiative to say anything.

"carry on."

"Yes."

After Ruyi left, Si Jin closed her eyes.

【Do you really want to cooperate with King Zhong? 】

【I just want to go home. Among these lords, only King Zhong has the ability to pull Murong Qi from the throne, what do you think? 】

The system was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something.

【Murong Qi likes you, do you really want to give up on him? 】

[Life here is not as good as in the 21st century. You said that as long as I complete the task, I can go back. I won’t regret it, right? 】

When talking to the system, Si Jin kept her eyes closed.

Perhaps knowing Si Jin's character, the system became more cautious at this time.

It is very clear that if Si Jin is really willing to help, what he wants to do will be accomplished smoothly.

It's just that it doesn't trust Si Jin.

[Here, after you are a country, you have Murong Qi to escort you. If you return to modern times, you will completely lose your status. Are you still willing to go back? 】

Si Jin opened her eyes with deep eyes.

[Returning is naturally necessary. You know, the reason why I came here is because I almost got into a car accident. How can I be willing that the murderer has been at large?If it were you, would you be willing? 】

As he spoke, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

【Is this the purpose of your going back? 】

[Of course, otherwise what do you think? 】

【Murong Qi likes you very much. 】

【Yes, but from the very beginning, I was uneasy and kind to him. The reason why I approached him was just to go back. Could it be that my acting skills are really so good that I can even fool you? 】

After Si Jin finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something.

【Your goal is not to want me to complete the task?What does anything else matter to you?I don't know if King Zhong can find the note I hid. If he doesn't even have this ability, I'm afraid I need to reconsider whether he is trustworthy or not. 】

[You can give it a try. 】

Si Jin lowered her eyes.

【Not necessarily, after all, brothers like Murong Qi are all stupid, and this loyal king is probably the same. 】

【To save this world, I can help. 】

[Can you really help? 】

[Of course, our purpose is the same, we are all for the good of this world, we all hope to save the world, I am not helping you, but this world, only if you can earnestly complete the task, this world can become a real secondary world, Only then can it truly go down from generation to generation. 】

Si Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

[If you can help, this task will definitely be completed. 】

Zhongwangfu.

"My lord, this is a special gift sent by Mr. Si in return."

"Open it and have a look." Murongli said enthusiastically.

The servant quickly opened the small box in his hand, revealing the contents of the box.

The box is not big, especially compared to the box Murongli sent into the palace, the one in front of me is only one-tenth the size.

As for what's inside...

Murong Li only took one look, then frowned.

Not for anything else, just looking at it, he felt that the things in the box were really shabby. If he hadn't confirmed that they were sent from the palace, he might have thought they were sent by some poor relative.

"It's really stingy. This king sent in such a large box of gold and silver, and this is the only thing."

"My lord, it is said that this was taken from the emperor's private treasury."

"What about his private treasury? It's not all worthless things, forget it, you take the things down, I don't want to see it again..."

Murong Li was talking, but was suddenly interrupted by a voice in his head.

[The box remains. 】

Murong Li was startled, then glanced at the box again, with a bit of disgust in his eyes: "Keep it, at least it's something in the emperor's private treasury, put it away first, otherwise when the emperor blames it, you and I can't escape. "

"Yes, my lord."

The servant was not surprised that Murongli left the things behind.

After all, no matter how shabby it is, it came from the palace.

Murong Li watched the people leave, and when there was no one there, he hurriedly asked.

[Is there anything special about this box? 】

【Look carefully for yourself, I can't take care of you all my life. 】

The sound of the system reached Murongli's ears, which made him happy.

He was still anxiously waiting for himself to ascend the throne, what if the voice had been there all the time, but now it seemed that the owner of the voice could not always be by his side.

Thinking of it this way, his mood became more cheerful, and he completely forgave the rudeness of the voice.

But since the voice said so, Murongli could only focus on carefully looking at the box in front of him.

The case itself and its contents are nothing special, so what's inside?

Murongli carefully inspected the structure of the box, searched for a long time, and finally found something in a crack that was hard to detect.

This kind of thing is similar to a piece of wood, embedded in the box, and it is integrated with the box. If he didn't look through it carefully, he would never be able to find the mechanism inside.

He pulled out the wood chip and looked down at the words on the wood chip.

"Guard the Secret Passage after Sealing"

negative side.

"family"

Murong Li had a smile on his face: "He really cares about his family's situation, it's just that he needs to find a way to get this secret way out of his mouth."

The system did not speak, he knew very well that the "family" written by Si Jin on the wood chip did not refer to the family here.

But he thinks that Si Jin's purpose of writing these two words should be to gain Mu Rongli's trust better.

Thinking about it this way, Si Jin is indeed still the original Si Jin.

"Come here, prepare some more gold and silver jewelry, and pay attention to choosing delicate jewelry."

"Yes, my lord."
