Empress in her second playthrough: Something's not right with this plot!

[Emotional Value +10000]

……

Unbeknownst to Jiang Qingying, after she left, an elderly man with white hair sighed in the woods.

"I really can't understand young people these days."

What's going on in Chapter 39?!

Bed.

Li Yunsheng slowly woke up and looked around at his surroundings.

Seeing that he was in a room in the hunting lodge, he closed his eyes again with relief.

"How long have I slept?"

Wei Xiang, who had been staying by the bedside, replied.

"One day and one night."

He has been unconscious since returning from the hunting grounds yesterday, and it is now noon.

How did I get back?

All he remembered was being punched away by the assassin and then losing consciousness completely.

Upon hearing this question, Wei Xiang did not answer immediately; the scene from yesterday flashed through her mind.

After she dealt with the assassins, she chased after them, and the officials finally caught up.

All the people saw was the Empress carrying the unconscious Li Yunsheng in her arms, walking unsteadily step by step towards them.

All the officials believed Li Yunsheng was dead. Some wailed and wept, some added insult to injury, and some were terrified...

Overwhelmed by the wailing of the crowd, she genuinely believed that the person the old man wanted her to protect had died.

At that moment, she felt like she didn't know what to do.

Ever since she met that old man, she has lived her whole life for the man in front of her.

Until Jiang Qingying called out in a hoarse voice, "Imperial Physician!"

The call for the imperial physician brought a moment of silence to the scene.

At the same time, it also pulled her from the seabed where she was drowning.

She didn't want to experience that feeling a second time.

Bed.

Li Yunsheng, who had not received a response for a long time, turned his head slightly and saw Wei Xiang who was lost in thought.

"what happened?"

Wei Xiang came to her senses, but her face remained expressionless.

"The Empress is holding him."

"Huh?" Li Yunsheng thought he had misheard. "I meant how I got back?"

Wei Xiang repeated it again.

"The Empress is holding him."

"The Empress is holding—me?"

"Ah."

In fact, she also had many, many questions in her heart.

For example, how did he get such a serious injury?

For example, how he killed the assassin.

Afterwards, she went to see the scene.

The man suffered severe internal injuries and was then fatally wounded in the throat.

Judging from the wound, it was caused by the Dragon Sparrow Blade. She couldn't understand who had seriously injured that person.

There were no signs of a fight at the scene; even she couldn't have seriously injured a second-rank master in just a few moves.

But when she saw Li Yunsheng lying in bed with serious injuries, all her doubts turned into self-blame for not protecting him.

"assassin--"

Li Yunsheng wanted to ask who sent those assassins, but the system's constant notifications interrupted his thoughts.

……

what's the situation?

He hurriedly opened the system to check, and what he saw...

"What's going on?!"

hiss--

He was so excited that he aggravated the wound on his chest.

Li Yunsheng gasped and obediently lay down again.

Wei Xiang thought his injury had worsened, so she hurriedly bent down to check on him.

"what happened?"

"it's okay no problem."

Li Yunsheng grinned, his mind entirely focused on the system.

Name: Li Yunsheng

Physical condition: Weak and prone to illness (7/100)

Mood score: 185000

Remaining lifespan: 370 days

Other features: Lottery, Online Store

Level 1000 lottery luck value: 1

Level 10000 lottery luck value: 15

When he opened the system, what shocked him most was the emotional value, which had already reached over 100,000 and was still increasing.

What did I do to the Empress?

What happened during the day and night I was unconscious?

Soon, he noticed another strange thing—his physique had increased!

By observing his luck stat, it's clear he didn't participate in the lottery.

Different levels of luck represent the number of times he can participate in the lottery.

Currently, he has participated in the 1000-level lottery 1 times.

You are guaranteed to get a blue crystal after 200 attempts.

The 10000-level lottery was drawn 15 times.

You are guaranteed to get a purple crystal after 361 attempts.

Since the number of lottery draws did not increase, how did the physique value increase?

Unable to discern anything amiss on the system, Li Yunsheng began to carefully sense the changes in his own body.

He quickly found the problem.

The acupoint that had been blocked for so long was now open.

Since he began studying the "Tongxuan Jing," he has been trying to open up the various major acupoints in the body that the Taoist Duanzhang mentioned.

However, after more than two months, the first major acupoint was still just a hair's breadth away from being opened.

It was probably thanks to the assassin's dying blow that they were able to kick open the final goal.

However, the fact that his acupoints had been opened and his physical strength had increased left him somewhat puzzled as to how this was happening.

Could it be that physical strength can change with one's cultivation level?

Master Duanzhang once said that there is a powerful force within him.

The reason I am like an ordinary person now is simply because all 361 major acupoints in my body have not yet been opened.

Now that he has opened up the first acupoint, it means that his strength has increased to some extent.

As strength increases, so does physical fitness.

This was just a guess in his mind; to confirm it, he needed to break through the second acupoint.

If the physique value increases again, then it means that my guess was correct.

Although it only added two days to my life in three months, every little bit helps.

In that short time, the system's mood value finally stabilized—190,000!

If you can't do anything while lying in bed, then start smoking!

With 190,000 in hand, Li Yunsheng didn't hesitate to click on the 10,000-level five-draw.
