Crying While Filling the Pit I Dug - Chapter 43

The Emperor’s lack of anger struck fear into Imperial Physician He, causing him to bow his head and stammer, “Your Majesty, forgive me…”

Song Miaomiao couldn’t bear to listen any longer. She abruptly sat up, realizing that her body was indeed fine; she couldn’t embarrass the poor old doctor.

Surprised, the Emperor asked, “Xiaoxiao, what’s the matter? What’s wrong?”

Song Miaomiao shook her head in response.

Through the gauze curtain, the Emperor continued, “Why didn’t you say a word? Don’t you even recognize your father?”

Didn’t say a word?

What?

Talking?

Having been mute for many years, Song Miaomiao had forgotten the function of speech.

After not speaking for too many years, Song Miaomiao tried to say something, “I…”

Yes! She could really talk!

Finally, she no longer needed to nod for yes and shake her head for no. There was no need to draw or search for pens and paper, or even branches to write.

The Emperor called again, “Xiaoxiao.”

Song Miaomiao took a deep breath and said, “I’m fine.”

Not bad, she was speaking fluently. The function had finally been regained.

The Emperor asked, “Who made my precious Princess unhappy?”

Song Miaomiao licked the corner of her mouth and replied, “No one.”

The Emperor still seemed a little aggrieved. “I didn’t pay attention to the time when I saw you this morning, but I heard that you were unwell, so I came to your hall to visit you without delay.”

Song Miaomiao had a flash of inspiration and made up a reason, “I… I just had a dream last night. I didn’t wake up in the morning, and I couldn’t get up. I was in a daze just now, but now I’m fine.”

The Emperor really believed her nonsense and didn’t pursue it any further. He waved his hand, saying, “Physician He, you can leave.”

With that said, Physician He left the palace.

The Emperor sighed, “I…I also dreamed about your mother last night. It must be that she was reluctant to part with us and came to visit us.”

In Song Miaomiao’s setting, Princess Changrou was a Princess deeply loved by the Emperor. Basically, if she said she wanted stars, he would try to give them to her.

One of the reasons why she was so favored was the Emperor’s deep affection for Princess Changrou’s mother. However, fate did not fulfill her wish. The book written by Song Miaomiao was a tragedy. Even the surrounding supporting characters all had sad endings. Princess Changrou’s mother, Empress Rongchao, met the Emperor at a young age, but she died of illness when Princess Changrou was only seven years old.

The Emperor was silently sad for a moment, and a servant came to report an urgent government matter. So the Emperor had to bid farewell to Song Miaomiao, asked the maids to take good care of her, and left in a hurry.

After the Emperor left, Song Miaomiao could relax, accept, and adapt to the world and her identity freely.

According to the current situation, the Emperor came to visit her as soon as he came down from court, which proved that Princess Changrou was still living in the palace, hadn’t left yet, and hadn’t married the male lead.

Following the pattern of the first world, it took three years for her to wash dishes after she arrived in the world before meeting the male lead.

Observing the Princess’s body, she should not be too young, at least sixteen or seventeen years old, which meant that she was not far away from getting married, and it shouldn’t take that long.

She just didn’t know where the male lead was and how far the plot had progressed.

She was there to do the task, the female supporting character shouldn’t be making a fuss about marrying the male lead yet, right?

Song Miaomiao wrote the novel till the point where the male lead married the Princess back then, but later she failed to apply for a contract, and she was busy with her studies, so she gave up.

This was a world of abusive literature. Her character, Princess Changrou, was created to abuse the male and female leads. Anyway, she must separate the male and female leads.

Thinking of the vicious and immoral things she had done, Song Miaomiao had some lack of confidence.

If this were in modern society… Well, although the male and female leads were not married yet, there was always a hint of an affair, which was not a good thing. 

Why didn’t she think of this problem when she wrote it back then? She only thought of a way to abuse the characters. Why?

She must take one step at a time and try to be as gentle as possible. The less damage, the better.

[System Oppa, is the first task to find the male lead?]

System Oppa: [Author Miaomiao, the main plot has officially started, and the full text is 0% complete. Your first task: Fall from a tree and land into the arms of the male lead, Yi Qing. Nature of the First Task: The plot of the original novel has been published. First Task bonus points: 200 points.]

Falling from the tree into the arms of the male lead was very Song Miaomiao’s idea.

In other words, it was uncreative.

It was really an old tactic. The kind where the male lead catched the female supporting character, they rotated in circles, locked eyes, and then fell to the ground.

Song Miaomiao was a writer with nothing new. In order to express the love at first sight between the male and female leads, the easiest and most effective way to highlight the male lead’s charm was to have him save a beauty like a hero.

In her original setting story, the male lead captured the Princess’s heart in that way, so she wanted to marry him.

The Princess’ father was the Emperor, so the male lead dared not refuse.

By mistake, the female lead met the Prince and became a Princess. One married the Prince and the other married the Princess. The male lead and the female lead had to separate, and a sad relationship began.

Forget it, Song Miaomiao didn’t plan to complain about herself anymore. Anyway, her writing was just like that, and she couldn’t change it.

Now that she had a mission, Song Miaomiao no longer stayed in bed. She felt a little hungry, after all, she hadn’t eaten all morning.

Song Miaomiao stood up from the bed. As soon as she got up, several court ladies dressed her and held water for her. Song Miaomiao was flattered. She had never been treated like that in the modern world or in the previous world. How could she bother others for her own business?
