Quick Transmigration Cannon Fodder's Record of Counterattacks

Chapter 1189: Conquering an Iceberg

“2333, let’s start the task,” said Ning Shu to 2333.

“Alright.”

Ning Shu felt a moment of dizziness. Once her soul settled in, she opened her eyes and immediately felt a sticky sensation all over. There was a summer sleeping mat under her, but it still felt really hot.

It was already quite late in the night. There was an oil lamp on the table and there were four beds in the room. People were sleeping on the beds and they’d occasionally shift in their sleep.

It was the depths of a still night, whose silence was only interrupted by the occasional chirps of a few cicadas.

Ning Shu felt a little thirsty, so she got up from the bed and went over to the table to pour herself a cup of water. The water was cold, but it was really refreshing to drink.

After she had enough water, she hastily climbed onto the bed to receive the storyline.

This time, she was a servant girl named Miao Ling. Her master was Yinzhen’s concubine, Lady Song. Due to various reasons, she had ended up dying in the middle of the inner courtyard conflicts.

Ning Shu discovered that this world was very chaotic. This was a Qing Dynasty that transmigrators had pretty much punched full of holes. It was caught up in the grand wave of the nine dragons struggle for the throne and there were princes with all kinds of temperaments. Every single one was a giant among men.

Most of the girls were aiming for the fourth. Yinzhen was the future emperor. He had an unpredictable temperament and was very suspicious of everything. He was even slightly treacherous and cruel, so every single girl wanted to conquer this historically famous cold-faced king.

Conquering such an iceberg was a great challenge. Melting the iceberg and seeing this indifferent person fall into a fiery passionate love while remaining cold to others, only treating them differently, seriously gave an awesome sense of achievement.

Obtaining the emperor’s favor and dating an emperor was seriously awesome. You could even enter the palace and become a consort or even the empress.

In the fourth prince’s backyard, there were transmigrators, reincarnators, and possibly even counterattackers. There were two women from the Niohuru family alone. It was like they thought that as long as they had the surname Niohuru, they would be just like that Divine Mother Empress Dowager who had been been instated for three consecutive dynasties, moving up from being a concubine to being a noble consort, to being empress, then finally becoming the Empress Dowager who the Qianlong Emperor had shown great filial respect to for the duration of his lifetime.

It was a crazy jumbled mess. Every single one of them had their eyes on the fact that Yinzhen was the ultimate winner of the battle for the throne. Otherwise, they were simply using their knowledge of history to help Yinzhen seize the throne.

Ning Shu felt that Yinzhen also had it pretty hard. So many people were secretly eying him.

Even though at this time, Yinzhen was still supporting the crown prince. He was wholeheartedly assisting the crown prince, yet so many women ended up flooding into his courtyard.

Examination task: Protect Lady Song’s unborn child and make sure the child doesn’t die prematurely.

When Ning Shu saw this task, she was taken aback for a moment. What kind of task was this?

Ning Shu carefully combed through the information. Lady Song’s status wasn’t very high. She was simply the experienced maid that Master Kang had bestowed the fourth prince. Basically, she guided Yinzhen through the process of making children. All in all, she counted as Yinzhen’s first woman.

Yinzhen’s chastity had even been offered up to her. After Yinzhen married Di Jinwu of the Ula Nara clan, Lady Song also became a lady of his courtyard.

However, Yinzhen hadn’t liked Lady Song much and Lady Song herself was a little confused in the head. She always felt like she was Yinzhen’s first woman and the first woman to give birth to Yinzhen’s children.

The problem was, Lady Song’s two daughters, the eldest imperial daughter and the third imperial daughter, had both died in childhood.

For the waters of a man’s courtyard to be this deep, the only one that could ever achieve this was probably the fourth prince.

After sorting out the information, Ning Shu had a pretty good idea of the direction she should go for this task. Basically, she should make sure to protect her own life and not let herself be implicated by the repercussions of these women’s domestic battles and end up cannon fodder.

As of now, it was already time to get up. The other three maids had already gotten up, so Ning Shu hastily got up as well and grabbed the nearby clothes to start putting them on.

Manchurian clothing was mainly based on the cheongsam, a vertical robe with a round neck opening. Then a vest-like sleeveless jacket went over it.

Ning Shu fumbled for a good while and finally got the clothes on. Then she casually grabbed beaded flowers from the little box above the headboard to insert into her hair bun and headed off to attend to Lady Song who was about to get up.

Ning Shu went to the kitchen and got warm water to bring to Lady Song’s courtyard. When she entered the room, Lady Song had just gotten up and was getting dressed.

Ning Shu’s job was to clean Lady Song’s face.

Ning Shu wrung out the handkerchief, then gently wiped Lady Song’s face. As she took Lady Song in at this distance, she found that Lady Song had well-rounded looks. She had a round face and a full forehead, characteristics of good fortune. If it weren’t for this, Master Kang wouldn’t have gifted her to Yinzhen.
