"Your father and two of your brothers were all killed in battle just three days ago. But the news hasn't come back yet."
"Impossible!" Yan Shu denied it, but her face suddenly turned pale, her body trembled, and she fell down on the chair.
"After half a month, when the news comes, you will know whether I am lying."
It said it so confidently that Yan Shu felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
"How could it be? This is impossible, this is impossible..."
Even though there are no eyesight on the battlefield, my father and brother... died at the same time? How is this possible!
"Although they led the troops in battle and were all good soldiers, they couldn't help being framed by someone who wanted to do it. They were trapped and surrounded, with no food, no support, and after ten days of hard fighting, they were trapped and died in a valley... "
Yan Shu suddenly stood up, her hands in her sleeves clenched tightly, her nails almost digging into her flesh, but she seemed not to feel any pain. His eyes were red, staring in one direction, "You...are you telling the truth?"
Even his voice trembled with excitement.
"Of course it's true, I won't lie to you."
Yan Shu's body softened and she collapsed on the ground.
She didn't want to believe this fact, but she couldn't find a reason to refute it. Because the system has no reason to tell such a lie. If it is to deceive her, then the news will be revealed when the news comes half a month later. There is no need for it to do this.
The uneasiness in the past two days seems to have found the answer. The dream about my father and brother covered in blood seems to be a bad omen—
It foreshadows the destruction of her family.
Yan Shu slumped on the ground blankly, her face without a trace of blood, so pale that it was almost transparent. His eyes stared blankly ahead.
Seeing this, the system turned to look at Yan Qing uneasily, "Boss, boss, did I speak too directly?"
Yan Qing raised his eyelids and glanced at it lightly, "What do you think?"
The system is the system, and I don’t know what euphemism is at all. He is straight forward in what he says and does, without beating around the bush at all, and he doesn't care whether others can bear it or not.
If it were for work, such an employee would be quite comfortable to use, but if it was to be used with his sister, then forget it. Otherwise, seeing his sister like this, Yan Qing would really feel distressed.
Of course, this news is too heavy, and no matter how tactful it is, it will bring no less pain. Yan Qing would never admit it. He didn't want to be such a bad person, so he let him go to the system.
Now the most difficult news has been told to her, so Yan Qing said, "Gouzi, you can help me from now on. I will do the tasks and communication."
How can the system not agree? Its life is still in the hands of the big boss, so of course it will be whatever he says.
"It's Shang Liyuan's order, right?"
After a long time, Yan Shu finally spoke.
She was still sitting on the ground, but she straightened her back at some point, her eyes slightly lowered, looking at the ground, her expression cold and chilly.
"Yes." Yan Qing said, imitating the system's voice.
"Haha..." Yan Shu suddenly laughed, with endless ridicule in her voice.
"The Yan family holds half of the military power of the Great Shang. He is afraid that my father's self-importance of troops will threaten his throne. Since he came to the throne, he has always been afraid of the Yan family. On the surface, he respects my father very much and sends me to all kinds of wars. The reason why his father went with the Yan family army was actually to weaken the Yan family army, and even put people in the Yan family army to stir up dissension in an attempt to divide the Yan family's military power... He seemed to have forgotten who supported him to sit on the throne, haha... "
She covered her face with her hands, laughter overflowing from her fingers.
He was obviously laughing, but it made his scalp numb for no reason.
After a moment, she removed her hands and her face regained its composure. There were no tears on her face, no sadness, nothing.
She put her hands on the ground and stood up slowly, even dusting off her clothes. Then he walked to the window step by step, looked out the window, and said in a faint tone:
"In the past, for the sake of the throne, he personally asked the late emperor to marry me and win over the Yan family; after he ascended the throne, he was afraid that I would give birth to a child with the blood of the Yan family, so he gave me sterilization medicine; now he is afraid that the Yan family's great achievements will shock the master, so he will My father and brother were killed on the battlefield... Since he values his throne so much, system, what would happen if I took his throne away? "
She spoke unhurriedly and in a very light tone, as if she was talking about something insignificant.
Yan Qing was stunned. He didn't expect that she would choose this path, the most difficult and tortuous one.
From the very beginning, Yan Qing arranged three choices for her: The palace of aspiration was chosen based on the thinking of women in this era, because the other two were too outrageous and might not be acceptable to ancient women. Of course, this aspiration for the palace is not to compete for favor in the harem, but to kill the emperor and support the child to rise to power, listen to the government behind the curtain, and monopolize power.
He also holds great power, but this path does not break the tradition. He still has to rely on a man to achieve his goals. But this is relatively easy to accept.
The second one was what Yan Qing wanted his sister to choose. In ancient times, was there anything more satisfying than being the emperor? Especially since Shang Liyuan killed her father and brother, had her sterilized, and used her as a substitute... With such sworn hatred, taking his throne is definitely the greatest revenge on him!
However, if this idea comes from modern times, it should be easier to accept. Otherwise, few ancient women who were born and raised here would have such ambition and courage. The country of China that Yan Qing experienced before had only one female emperor in its five thousand years of history. So Yan Qing was not sure whether his sister would choose this before.
The third one was also what Yan Qing wanted her to choose. Hatred makes people suffer. Whether it is the road to revenge or revenge, it will not make people feel happy. Yan Qing only hopes that her sister can live a happy life, and whether she hates her or not is not that important.
Even if they are the real Yan family father and brother, they definitely want their daughter/sister to be happy. So he gave him a choice. This was also Yan Shu's wish before entering the palace.
But I didn't expect that my sister would choose hell mode.
Yan Qing thought for a while and said, "Of course it would be happy to take away his throne, but this road will be difficult, full of difficulties and obstacles, and will have to bear unimaginable pressure, and even the curse of the world. Your father and brother do not want You risk your life for revenge, so you have to think carefully. If you are willing, I can help you fake your death and leave the palace, change your identity, and travel freely in the world. Isn't this your wish? "
Yan Shu smiled sadly, "The life in the world that I once dreamed of was to have my family by my side and my friends at my left and right, wielding swords all over the world, punishing rape and eradicating evil. When I was happy, I would drink and discuss swords with my friends, and travel around the world. When I was tired, I would go home and be with my family. Reunion and joy. No matter how far I go, I can see my family as long as I look back. This is the life I want in the world. Now, going to the world is no longer about wandering in the world, but -
The rivers and lakes are scattered, and the world is home. "
The world is wandering, and we are home all over the world...
Yan Qing was silent, only regretting why she didn't come earlier to save everyone in the Yan family, so that her sister wouldn't be in such pain now.
"System, you said you would help me, right? You can choose any mode, right?"
Yan Shu actually still didn't believe in this system of unknown origin, but she no longer cared about it. Even if it was a deceived spirit in the strange novels, it didn't matter, as long as it could help her get revenge, then What's the harm in giving her her heart, her soul, and everything she has
She said in an extremely firm tone, "I choose to be bound to you!"
Seeing how determined she was, Yan Qing knew that she would never change her mind again and stopped trying to persuade her.
"The system is being bound, please wait... Progress 1%, 2%... 100%, binding successful. Your system manager is at your service wholeheartedly. Host, what mission mode do you want to choose?"
As soon as Yan Qing's voice fell, a transparent panel appeared in front of Yan Shu. There are three modes written on it, and some other functions.
Yan Shu's heart was filled with turmoil. The system's capabilities turned out to be more powerful than she had imagined!
But that's okay, the stronger its ability is, the more helpful it will be in revenge.
Her face was calm and she said calmly, "Choose empress mode."
"Empress mode has been selected. Do you want to enable it now?"
"Open now!" Yan Shu replied.
"Empress mode has been turned on, and the main mission is being generated.
Main mission: ascend the throne as emperor and become the queen of the ages!
Side mission one: Teach Concubine Shu a lesson and ground her for a month. Reward for successful mission: 1 panacea that can cure all diseases*1, the best martial arts secret book in the world*1, colorless and odorless sterilization drug*1. Penalty for mission failure: None.
Side mission two: Promote Lian Jieyu to Zhaoyi. Reward for successful mission: 1 Magical Art of War Book, 1 Powder for Trembling Flowers, and 1 Pregnancy Pill. "
Yan Shu studied these two tasks carefully. It was not difficult for even Jieyu to teach Concubine Shu and promote her. The rewards for the tasks after success were also very generous. In other words, they were magical, magical elixirs, and martial arts books. If these things were used Okay, then it will be very helpful for you in the future.
Just, "Why are these two tasks issued? Is there any profound meaning?"
Yan Qing couldn't hear Yan Shu's thoughts, but Gouzi could, so it was usually Gouzi who heard her thoughts and relayed them to him.
"Because Shang Liyuan originally planned to promote Lian Jieyu's position, and he will not discuss it with you. Of course we can't let him do such a slap in the face, so let's take the first step. Anyway, who is Lian Jieyu? Identity is not important at all. Another point is that Lian Jieyu doesn't like you. She thinks that you are just her substitute, and she is the real one and Shang Liyuan's favorite.
Therefore, if you, the substitute, elevate her to the status of the real one, it will make her feel like a lump in her throat and make her feel as sick as a fly.
As for teaching Concubine Shu? Just think of it as a way to establish your authority. "
Otherwise, could he say it was to give her a reward
