On the day of Murong Yan's expedition, there was a lot of momentum, which gave everyone a serious blow. Since then, the capital has been quiet for a while, and when the weather gets hotter and hotter, some people's minds also float.
During this time, Murong Yan was not around, and the emperor was too young to govern, so the Empress Dowager Song slowly started to listen to politics behind the curtain.
On the Qixi Festival, the Empress Dowager Song held a banquet in the palace and invited the female relatives of the princes and noble families in the capital to come to the palace to beg for cleverness. When Yu Qingjia arrived, the Hall of Martial Virtue was already full of people, with fragrant clothes and shadows on the temples, and a hundred flowers blooming in full bloom, creating a lively atmosphere.
There was silence in the hall, and then regardless of family status, regardless of age, the women on both sides stood up one by one to greet Yu Qingjia.
"Princess please be safe."
Among the people present, only the Empress Dowager Song sat firmly on the highest seat, and when Yu Qingjia approached, she smiled and nodded: "Princess Langya is here."
"The empress dowager is well." Yu Qingjia also briefly saluted, and then sat in the guest seat as a matter of course. Empress Dowager Song smiled and exchanged greetings with Yu Qingjia about the recent situation during this time.
Murong Yan was not around for the past three months, and there was only Yu Qingjia in the capital. Many people's minds became active, just like the Song family. The tiger was not at home, and the monkey was king. After a few months of comfortable life, the Song family's heart became bigger and bigger. The Song family gradually felt that there was no difference between their family and Langya Prince's Mansion. When Murong Yan was around, it was fine to force them to follow the leader. Why should they be overwhelmed now?
Yu Qingjia felt that the Empress Dowager Song was targeting both inside and outside the words, and secretly laughed in her heart, persimmons are really picky, why didn't the Empress Dowager Song say these words in front of Murong Yan?
"The Ministry of Industry reported floods in Jiangzhou, fearing that there will be refugees. The regent is still fighting on the western front, and domestic chaos is unacceptable at this time. This matter is of great importance. We should transfer a talented minister to Jiangzhou as the governor as soon as possible to calm down as soon as possible. Flooding. This is not only the top priority of the court, but also the blessing of the people of Jiangzhou."
A woman next to him answered, "I heard that Sanlang of the Song family is handsome and handsome, and he is familiar with rituals, and has won praise from everyone. Why doesn't the Queen Mother ask Sanlang to relieve your worries?"
The Empress Dowager Song sighed: "My third uncle loves the people like a son, and he is generous and unruly. If he can share the worries of the court, it is natural to mourn the family. However, the flood is a major matter for the court. If the Song family is allowed to go, it may be suspected of nepotism. "
"The empress dowager's words are wrong. If you don't avoid relatives if you are a virtuous person, Saburo is outstanding. How can you deliberately bury him?"
The Empress Dowager Song looked at Yu Qingjia: "Princess Langya, what do you think?"
"The Queen Mother asked me?" Yu Qingjia smiled at the Queen Mother Song, and said, "Then I'll just say it straight, I don't think it's right."
Empress Dowager Song's smile faltered, and even the people next to her couldn't get off the stage. Yu Qingjia said: "The selection of the governor is a matter for the Ministry of Officials. If the Empress Dowager intervenes in this matter, it may embarrass the Ministry of Officials."
"The Ai family is the emperor's mother after all." The Empress Dowager Song especially emphasized the word "mother" and said, "The emperor is young now and can't be the master, but the world belongs to him after all. Although I am not his biological mother, after all Be his mother. Before he can take charge, the Ai family will of course guard the world for him."
"The queen mother is joking, guarding the world is the business of civil servants and generals. If it is reduced to let the queen mother worry about it, isn't it the dereliction of duty of the courtier?" Yu Qingjia glanced at the queen mother with a smile, and said, "The queen mother should enjoy the family happiness with peace of mind. By the way, A few days ago, I heard that His Majesty was ill again, and I was planning to ask the Queen Mother why Your Majesty always fell ill? The Queen Mother is the emperor's mother, so she must know all about it, and I hope that the Queen Mother can enlighten me."
The Empress Dowager Song's complexion was not very good. The emperor was born prematurely. I don't know what happened. Since entering the palace, he has been sick and troubled, and he is rarely healthy. The Empress Dowager Song was too busy discussing with her father and sisters to seize power every day, so how could she have the patience to take care of the children.
Moreover, it was Yu Qingya's child.
The Empress Dowager Song also knew about the emperor's illness, but the emperor's side had long been controlled by Yu Qingjia's people. She sent an **** to ask her, what else should she do? Empress Dowager Song dismissed it, but having said that, once this matter was really mentioned in front of everyone, Empress Dowager Song would still lose face.
"The emperor is the only son of the Ai family. Of course the Ai family has done their best for him. The emperor has improved a lot these days." The Empress Dowager Song briefly mentioned it, and looked at Yu Qingjia with a little oppression, "Princess Langya, I recommend my family. However, everyone knows that the third uncle is talented, and it is really suitable for him to be the governor of Jiangzhou. I don’t know, will the princess give the Ai family this face?"
Jiangzhou was close to the Southern Dynasties and had prosperous commerce and trade. It was an extremely important chess piece both geographically and economically. How could Yu Qingjia let such an important land fall into the hands of the Queen Mother Song. Yu Qingjia's smile also faded, and she slowly put aside the froth in the tea, and said: "It's a good begging festival, the queen mother mentioned the government affairs several times, it can be seen that the people around the queen mother have really neglected their duties, and they even made the queen mother worry about foreign affairs. I can't do anything about government affairs. It's up to you, if the Empress Dowager really wants to know, you might as well wait for His Highness to come back and ask His Highness in person."
Empress Dowager Song's face darkened visible to the naked eye. She fought with Yu Qingjia for a few rounds, fighting each other with swords and swords, hiding their edge, she moved out of the emperor, her family background, and her status as queen mother, Yu Qingjia came back one by one, and finally, unexpectedly, she made a big move.
However, this card was bigger than the one played by Empress Dowager Song, and Empress Dowager Song was speechless for a moment. The other wives of the Wude Palace had already stood up and avoided the sidelines. The regent princess and the queen mother fought. They dare not get involved in a war of this level.
The Empress Dowager Song narrowed her eyes, and her face turned gloomy. At this time, a **** suddenly walked in from outside and said: "The queen mother, the princess is safe. There are people from the outer court asking to see Princess Langya."
"allow."
"Not allowed."
The voices of Empress Dowager Song and Yu Qingjia sounded at the same time, and Empress Dowager Song was just like Yu Qingjia, with a bad tone: "All the family members in Ai's Palace invite outside men to come in, what's the proper way?"
Yu Qingjia ignored her, and just said, "Xuan."
The **** looked around very embarrassedly, finally made a bow, and ran down quickly. Empress Dowager Song was so angry that she slapped the armrest vigorously: "Presumptuous! How dare you!"
However, Empress Dowager Song's words were like raindrops falling into the ocean, no one paid any attention to it, and soon disappeared. Not long after, a man with a gray face and couldn't even see his facial features came in, stopped outside the main hall door, and saluted Yu Qingjia from a distance: "See Wangfei."
The Empress Dowager Song's complexion can no longer be seen, speaking like this in front of the Empress Dowager Song and everyone, it can be seen that this person does not take the Empress Dowager seriously at all. He only recognized Yu Qingjia's words, even the empress dowager turned a blind eye. Yu Qingjia raised his hand and said, "Let's get up, what's the matter?"
"My lord, the King Regent has won a great victory at Mangshan Mountain. He repelled the Zhou army for 30 miles. From Mangshan Mountain to Gushui, there are military resources and equipment everywhere. The Regent King has assembled the army in Jinyong, and has crossed the border of Qi and Zhou Dynasty and headed towards the hinterland of the Zhou Dynasty."
There was a sudden exclamation in the hall. The Qi Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty had been at odds for more than 30 years. Since Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty, the Qi Dynasty wanted to annex the Northern Zhou Dynasty and reproduce the glory of the previous dynasty's unification of the north. However, after so many years, the friction on the border has been constant, and the Northern Qi Dynasty has launched many battles against the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but it has never really won an overwhelming victory.
However, in just three months, Murong Yan broke through the blockade line that Zhou Jun displayed on the border, and even pierced into the opponent's border. The meaning behind this is extraordinary!
The voices in Wude Hall were noisy, from the wives of the aristocratic families down to the maids and servants in the palace, all couldn't hold back, and whispered to the people around them. Yu Qingjia stood up and asked, "How is your Highness?"
"The regent said that everything is fine and he was not injured. Please rest assured, the princess."
Yu Qingjia breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he wasn't injured. After Yu Qingjia finished asking her most concerned question, she thought of other things: "When did this happen?"
"Mid-June."
There was another whisper in the palace, Mangshan was victorious in June, so by now, I am afraid that they have already reached the territory of Zhou Kingdom? If the good news can be delivered next time, I am afraid that the great cause of unifying the north is just around the corner.
After such a big event happened, Yu Qingjia was busy asking Murong Yan about the details along the way, so she didn't have the time to play tricks with the Queen Mother. She turned around and nodded slightly to everyone, said: "There is something in the house, I can't accompany everyone to beg for a coincidence, please forgive me, I will go ahead."
The Empress Dowager Song sat in the highest position, her face was almost frozen.
In the inner courtyard, the vegetation is luxuriant, covering the sky and the sun. The night wind blew past, making a rustling sound, like a ghost, and it was impossible to tell that this place was part of the palace.
Naturally, this is not the palace now. A few months ago, outsiders still called this mansion the Guangping Palace.
Yu Qingya was locked in a dark room day after day, and lost her sense of time for a long time. If it weren't for the system reminder in her mind, she wouldn't even know what day it is or what time it is outside.
"System, what time is it?"
"August fourteenth in the second year of Xiyuan in the old calendar."
"August 14th." Yu Qingya murmured, "Tomorrow will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. I wonder how my son is doing?"
The system can't understand human emotions such as longing for reunion, and it is still urging Yu Qingya: "Host, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there is a high probability that your mother-in-law will relax. You just take this opportunity to escape. It's not too late, you'd better Start preparing now."
Yu Qingya smiled wryly. During this period of time, she could say that life would be worse than death. She raised her hand to look at her arm. Although it was as fair as before, it was full of dark wounds inside. This **** Song, in order to **** her son, actually used such a dirty trick! Mrs. Song is torturing her, deliberately forcing her to death!
The system talked for a long time, and found that Yu Qingya didn't seem to respond at all. It can only release some refreshing currents, and after Yu Qingya regained her senses, she emphasized again: "Host, don't miss this opportunity. If you miss this time, I don't know when the next opportunity will be. You can only waste your life and waste resources if you are so ignorant." .”
"Wasting life?" Yu Qingya laughed, "I'm already like this, what else is there to waste? Even if you make a plan for me, so what, with my current body, I can't even walk ten steps."
The system was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Host, since you are mentally weak, you can authorize your body to me. The system will control your body, and it will help you escape from the prison."
"Oh, is it?" The ecstasy expected by the system did not appear, Yu Qingya responded dumbly, her face changed drastically, "System, then tell me, after you take over my body this time, will you come back again?" Give it back to me?"
Even if the system has no human emotions, it is shocked at this moment. Its data flow was turbulent for a moment, and then it immediately stabilized: "Host, why do you think so? We signed an agreement, the system is only managed, and the final command of the body belongs to the host of course."
"System, I heard that machines can't lie." Yu Qingya's eyes were empty, but there was a smile on her face. This expression appeared on a person's face at the same time, which was very strange, "System, I don't know if you have noticed that you call me forever. Only use the host, not my name."
"According to Article 38 of Section 5 of the Super Intelligence Development Agreement of the Second Era of the Galaxy, the Brain serves the employer, that is, the host. The Brain can only serve one host within the period covered by the contract, and shall not betray or deceive. At the same time, the host should..."
"That's enough, I don't want to hear about your development history at all." Yu Qingya smiled strangely and said, "But human beings are different from machines. You don't have emotions, but humans do. Of course you only serve one host, but , it’s not necessarily the same person, is it?”
"...Host, I don't understand what you're talking about."
"It's all like this, and you still pretend not to understand?" Yu Qingya sneered, "Okay, then let me be more clear. Although you signed an agreement with me from the beginning to help me deal with others, what you signed is not at all Me, but my body. Or rather, an account.”
"The host's behavior has exceeded the authority, and the system refuses to answer."
Yu Qingya didn't care whether the system listened or not, and continued on her own: "You let me sign a contract with blood, and then control my behavior by issuing tasks. You are manipulating me like a shadow puppet show. The purpose of improving the living conditions, or simply teasing your target person, you will induce me to hand over the control of my body. The moment I transfer the control, my brain will be anesthetized, and then the system will Being able to replace me without anyone noticing, take over my body, family and friends, and live for me. And this is just the beginning of the game."
"System, you have repeatedly mentioned that your company can support you to travel from the future to the ancient times, and you can exchange things anytime and anywhere. This kind of consumption is not small. But you have never mentioned how your company makes money. Now that you think about it, what do you mean? company, it cannot be made public at all.”
The system is still silent. Yu Qingya kept sneering, her eyes were blurred, and her pupils were already a little dizzy, but her expression was very crazy: "In your words, your company is doing smuggling business. First invest a high-level intelligence at a high price, and it will be near your target task." Select a suitable skin, and then deceive the other party to sign a contract in the name of the system, and be at your mercy. After that, you guide the other party to approach your target step by step, and when the progress of the strategy is fully completed, you will immediately attack and compete for control of the body. Let the original host's brain die. The body is still alive, but the mind belonging to the original owner is already dead. Tell me, is such a person alive or dead?"
"After that, you will send back the data here in real time, so that those rich people who are bored in the interstellar world can experience the original ecological ancient life, as well as the real famous emperors and ministers in history. You have said long ago that the marriage rate in the interstellar era , The childbirth rate is extremely low, and virtual games are popular. If you launch this game, you can imagine how much money you can make. Unfortunately, changing the historical trajectory and reselling the resources of two time and space will be retribution, so you dare not say anything , and dare not alarm anyone. I guess, in your law, this is probably a very serious crime? At least it is enough to make your dark industrial chain collapse overnight and be uprooted."
Yu Qingya's words were confusing, interstellar vocabulary was mixed into the ancient language, which seemed nondescript. These are all Yu Qingya secretly learned from the system. Although the preface does not match the postscript, she basically guessed it right.
The system does come from a private, gangster-related organization. They are keen on smuggling goods and plundering resources from all planes. For their own benefit, they have destroyed several time and space. In the interstellar era, the marriage system has disintegrated, and marriage is no longer the only way for everyone. Instead, the virtual economy is booming. Many people are addicted to dating and getting married with a series of virtual characters constructed from data, and they are unwilling to touch the real ones. people. Merchants launch various models, various needs, and even virtual traitors of various races. However, the cake is only so big, and the market will soon be saturated, so more and more capital will focus on historical figures.
After several great leaps, three galaxy battles, and countless star battles, the loss of human civilization is very serious. As for ancient civilization, it is even rarer, just a few words. What is left to future generations of human beings are only some vague records and magnificent imaginations.
Obviously, those who can be passed down to the interstellar era after layers of screening and discarding are all top outstanding figures in history. And Emperor Qi Xiang, with his outstanding achievements, outstanding appearance, legendary life experience, and lifelong dedication, has been the most wanted male candidate for interstellar women for a hundred years in a row. At the same time, he also occupies the most beautiful man in history. position. As long as there are historical records, he has occupied it for as long as possible.
But there are too few records about Murong Yan, and it is too difficult to attack this market, so the smuggling company where the system is located took the risk and sent advanced intelligence to ancient times in violation of the interstellar law. The system said it was the No. 067 female supporting system, that's because sixty-six of them had failed before.
With huge risks and huge profits, the system managed to locate the era of Emperor Qi Xiang and found Empress Mingxi's hometown. It's a pity that Empress Mingxi was not in Yanzhou at that time. Of course, even if she was, the system would not dare to have Yu Qingjia's idea. The subsequent development was as planned by the company, but who would have thought that the future would become more and more deviant, and now, let alone becoming Murong Yan's concubine, the system would even have problems surviving.
Its data transmission has not yet started, no matter what, it cannot perish in this secret room.
No one expected that the showdown would come so early. Yu Qingya and the system didn't speak. Both of them had their own agendas, secretly waiting for the opportunity.
Suddenly there was thunder outside, and it was going to rain. Due to the strong electric field interference, the system's signal stagnated for a short moment, but at this very moment, Yu Qingya suddenly made an attack, opened the control center with the password she had calculated in advance, and "system hibernation" quickly.
This is a passive self-protection measure set up by the system in times of danger, but it was unexpectedly missed by Yu Qingya. The system wants to stop it, but a confirmation interface has popped up at this moment: "The hibernation state will turn off 85% of the functions, and only the minimum requirements will be kept. Do you confirm the hibernation?"
The moment the system resumed its signal, its function was turned down and it went into a dormant state.
Her mind has been clean for a long time. Ever since Yu Qingya met the system, she has never felt pure tranquility and safety. She has not had her own space for a long time. Fortunately, now, it is finally over.
Yu Qingya stumbled and stood up, and she skillfully called out the store. At this moment, most of the products in the store have turned gray and cannot be purchased, but the options for self-protection are on instead.
The current store only has the most basic functions left, not even big data analysis. A confirmation box pops up: "Are you sure to exchange for lethal weapons?"
Yu Qingya clicked "Yes" expressionlessly.
The thunder covered up many movements, and when Yu Qingya came out of the yard where she had been trapped for half a year, the soles of her feet were already stained with blood.
The outermost caretaker woman was dying, her eyes seemed to be watching gods and ghosts. With the last ounce of strength, she asked, "What are you going to do?"
"What am I going to do?" Yu Qingya murmured, and suddenly laughed maniacally, "I want to settle accounts with that **** of the Song family! I want to take my son back!"
