Zosia: Quick Transmigration System
Chapter 95 - 93- Arc 3

After spending 3 years with her uncle, she was now back to the Palace.

Before she left, just like the gift she left for the Emperor before she left the palace, she did same for them but she didn't sew them any cloth, only pouches and handkerchief.

Karl was more than happy when she told him about his gift and where she kept his and his dad's gifts.

Zosia felt it was strange. Karl said he was adopted but after using Analyze on him. The result was different.

Karl was and is Adrian's biological Son. Though his Mother's name is strange.

Father- Adrian McGowan

Son- Karl McGowan

Mother - Lunnanida Atir

Zosia was aware that Karl had only come close to her due to the tea leaves, it helped in not only suppressing the poison from acting up but was also in clearing it.

As for Maritza and Evelyn, she didn't take them with her this time around and after using Analyze on them and sure they were loyal to her, she trained them in taking care of the shops in her name.

Now, she could be said to be a little rich woman. Without money how could she accomplish some things.

Looking at the approaching Imperial Palace and the figures standing in front of the estate gate, she rolled her eyes in annoyance.

The carriage came to a halt. Aaron came down, seeing the Empress, The Empress Dowgar as well as the other consorts whom he calls free loaders.

Zosia noticed that the consorts weren't as much as before, they had been reduced to 5 from the initial huge number.

"That means I can now rest easy, without worrying about how to deal with them, though, where are their children?" Zosia asked herself inwardly.

She doesn't actually care what happened, all she knew was that the variables have been reduced.

Using Analyze, she scanned each of them but didn't check the results, only following behind the Emperor who ignored their greetings and kept moving.

"Should I greet or... Never mind, I will just follow behind him." Zosia thought as she quickly increased her pace but also keeping it steady.

She lowered her head, but not without catching the fleeting hatred from the three of the them. The Empress, the Empress Dowgar and Duke Chrisen who was standing like he owned the Imperial Palace.

As they entered inside, they entered into another carriage.

"Sia, The carriage will take you to your courtyard, I still have things to do." He patted her head and entered another carriage.

He could have just allowed the carriage to enter the palace instead of entering a new one, but it is a safety rule in the palace.

It was something he set, so he can't violate it either, even if he didn't want to meet those people.

Zosia nodded her head and got in the second carriage. Holding the tree pot in her hand, she didn't leave it for the maids to carry it.

Among the many tree pots she used in planting the tea leaves, she only took one back, leaving the rest for Karl and Adrian.

The wheels rolled on the cobblestone pathway, leading towards her new courtyard.

Seeing that the carriage was moving so slowly, she decided to take a look at the results from the scan.

The result she got was not a surprise, now she knew with whom the consorts cheated with.

Though it still is a mystery to her on why the Emperor could only have her? She wondered if there is a story behind it.

It didn't take long and they arrived at her courtyard. She wasn't surprised by how close it was with the Emperor's courtyard .

Since her lessons would start tomorrow, she decided to take her bath and sleep.

********

Zosia was preparing to sleep when a maid sent by the Empress came to see her.

"What message do you have for me?"

"The Empress said, you should come to the banquet hall, they had arranged a welcome banquet for you."

"Greetings to the great Sun, The Emperor." They both greeted in unison.

He had come to tell his daughter some things, but hearing about the invitation, he knew they wanted to do something to her and make her soil her reputation.

"Who held the banquet without informing me?" The Emperor asked, his cold voice thundering through the room.

The maid shivered in fear, "It's the Empress Dowgar."

"Now, I can use this to send that witch away and have her settled on the road." The Emperor thought inwardly.

"Follow me." Zosia was dressed simply but not shabbily, so it didn't matter if she followed the Emperor like that.

Since her viel was on, she followed behind the Emperor and the maid followed behind her with lowered head.

******

At the banquet hall...

"The Great Sun, the Emperor has arrived!" The Eunuch announced in a very loud and shrill voice.

Zosia frowned in response to the shrill voice. Since she wasn't announced, she stood outside while the Emperor entered.

"Greetings to the Great Sun." Everyone in the room knelt down to greet.

Aaron didn't tell them to stand up, he scanned his gaze among them before putting it on the Empress Dowgar.

"I had just left for a day and now, you want to usurp my power.

I have respected you as the Empress Dowgar, but you don't reciprocate it. The Imperial Palace doesn't want you here anymore. Tomorrow you would be leaving for the Temple, whence you came from and do not interfere with the inner court again." His cold but calm voice reverberated throughout the room.

"Empress, you can go back to your confinement after today." After saying that, he turned and left, leaving the two women in shock.

Kamal looked at his father in astonishment. Why did his father always treat his mother like that?

"Why does he not love me as well? Only his sister." He thought as he stared at the Emperor's departing back with anger and hatred welling up in his eyes.

Zosia had spread her spiritual consciousness, so she was able to see what was going on inside.

She felt some malice directed towards her direction and looked, only seeing her supposed half-brother was staring at Aaron with hatred filled eyes.

"Let's go." At first he had only asked Zosia to follow him on a whim but now he was able to kill three birds with one stone.

One, Sending the Empress back to confinement.

Two, sending the Empress Dowgar away thereby cutting off whatever excuses Chrisen would use in entering the Palace.

Three, making that Child that thinks he is the father, to meet Zosia.

Now, how Zosia would settle the problems on her way, is what he wants to see.

They went back with The Emperor informing her of who her new teacher would be.

The Imperial tutor. He is also the father in-law to Duke Chrisen.

Arriving back at her courtyard, Zosia went straight to her room. She didn't allow the maids to take care of somethings, not that she was afraid of poison or anything, but she still wasn't used to them and couldn't allow them in on some things, especially the scars on her body.

As for the Imperial tutor being the one to teach her, she wasn't sure if it was okay. Even though, publicly, the Imperial tutor and Duke Chrisen don't get along, being like fire and water, she knew it was still a variable, except the Emperor has something on him that would make him not to talk.

If Aaron heard her thoughts, he would laugh and say she was worrying too much.

Closing her eyes to rest, she began reviewing the things she had Chip scan from those books.

Tsk, she has come to love the name chip that she didn't feel like giving it any new name.

After reviewing it, she felt so tired and her head felt a little heavy. The knowledge she had scanned was so voluminous and taking them in at once had its side effects.

At least, she knew where to get the next thing that she needed in this world.

In the last world, she got a Carp which had consciousness, though she didn't get anything in the tutorial world.

This time around, she was going for the said stone that has the ability to revive the martial path.

She didn't think so, but it wouldn't hurt to get it and she was neither loosing anything.

Her greatest gain currently is her ability to cultivate her soul rather than the body.

Now, even if she left this body, she wouldn't completely lose her powers but rather just a chunk of it. The chunk goes to the body.

It isn't a technique, it's something she learnt by instinct when she kept condensing her powers to make them stronger and purer.

Now, she could freely use her powers without feeling any constraint in this world. It was like she had become part of it.

She suddenly remembered the soothing feeling she felt when she got rid of some bandits that kept harassing a village, making carvans unable to pass through the road.

"Could it be... Merit?" She thought out loud.

The virtues of human according to a scholar, says that the four virtues of man, to which one of them is Merit has the ability to keep the body with the world.

Zosia now understood what the scholar meant by keeping the body with the world.

"So the more Merit I have, the less rejection I feel in a world, allowing me to use my powers as freely as I want."

But something keeps bothering her, her powers what is the correct name for them. The status board calls them gifts/talents.

"Sigh!" She decided to push that to the recess of her memory and rest up first. She needs to get up earlier to do some training before meeting the Imperial tutor.

================

This Arc would be coming to an end soon and for those who can't wait to see Zosia get the said revenge, she might not be the one to do it, who knows.

Tighten your seat belt and get your popcorns ready.
