Shi Huaijin pursed her lips, put the flowers in her arms into her arms, took the hand locked with his, raised his hand to straighten her long hair, and asked warmly:
"Does the princess believe me?"
Su Yuxi glanced at the flowers in her hand and didn't respond.
The two of them were walking side by side on the road, holding hands, and looked harmonious.
The night view of Yuncheng is beautiful, but it is particularly lively tonight, with lights and colorful decorations everywhere, people laughing and selling goods.
"Why is it so lively tonight?" She liked the street scene atmosphere very much, and asked casually with a slight smile on her face.
"Princess, don't you know that today is the Northern folk Magpie Bridge Festival?"
"I have been raised in a boudoir since I was a child, so I don't know much about folk festivals."
"It is rumored that everyone's deceased relatives will come back to reunite with their families on this day, and family members will also light Kongming lanterns to point them in the direction home. The words on each lantern are attached to a deceased soul, with the family's wishes.
Walk away slowly," he explained.
Su Yuxi looked sideways and saw that he had stopped at a Kongming Lantern stall, and also stopped.
"Do you believe this?" she asked doubtfully.
"Little lady! This lamp is specially designed to pray for couples!" the stall owner said to Su Yuxi in a rough voice with a smile.
Su Yuxi frowned: "This is not for passing away..."
Shi Huaijin picked a big red one and said, "Take one."
"Two taels of silver."
The man lowered his eyes and looked at her.
"What are you looking at me for?" Su Yuxi rolled her eyes at him.
"I don't have any money." He shrugged helplessly, his dark blue eyes gleaming with water.
Thousands of blue Kongming lanterns slowly merged into the night sky, and the writing on the lanterns could be vaguely seen, except for the lantern with a red flower tied to it...
...
Zui Chun Tower.
"It is said that since the death of Emperor Mingguang, Princess Xi and Princess Xi have been in power and have been praised by every minister. But what everyone doesn't know is..."
"What!?" The melon-eaters were extremely curious.
"Xi and the princess loved the regent. Although they were married, the regent did not like the princess. After the princess ascended the throne, she locked the regent in the boudoir and played and sang every night..."
The storyteller downstairs whetted the audience's appetite, and his stories were full of enthusiasm.
Su Yuxi, who was upstairs, had a gloomy look on her face as she stared coldly at the man opposite who was drinking leisurely.
"Shi Huaijin, I locked you up because I was afraid that you would seek death. Why are you still having fun every night?"
Don't think she doesn't know that this restaurant is owned by this man!
Shi Huaijin tightened her grip on the wine glass, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and asked, "Why is the princess afraid that I will seek death?"
[Master, I think if you do what Mr. Storyteller said, you might be able to figure out the villain. 】
Xiao Qi listened with great interest.
【roll!】
"Why don't I let you die?"
She picked up the wine glass on the table and drank the wine in one gulp, glared at him and replied.
The spicy taste of the liquor suddenly rushed into her internal organs, as if her whole body was about to burn up. By the time she realized something was wrong, her consciousness was already in disarray.
"Master, the palace is already full of our people, what should we do with the people from the North?"
Come in and report on November 1.
Xiao Qi panicked, the villain began to rebel, and the master...
Shi Huaijin glanced at the woman lying on the table, the soft lines on her face stiffened for a moment, and her voice was even colder: "Lock her up."
...
Ding!
[Number 17, Task 1: Failure, your task spirit will be recycled by the system, and you will be wiped from the system...] The cold mechanical sound of the main system sounded cruelly.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.Comby, save your master..." Xiao Qi didn’t know what to do at all, and her voice was so frightened that she trembled.
"Wait a minute!" A cold male voice sounded.
"This is my little girl. I don't often do this kind of tasks. Can you give me another chance?"
Xiao Qi looked up at the Lord God who had descended like a banished immortal, and nodded violently while wiping tears.
[Lord God, the system has systematic rules...]
"Mission 007, I'll go there myself." He interrupted in a cold voice, very dignified.
Xiaoqi is petrified in situ, 007 mission...
[Lord God, please reset the mission for No. 17. Since No. 17 has opened a hidden mission, you need to set two missions. The content and format are not limited. 】
...
"Master, the Northern Kingdom is destroyed, what should we do next?"
Shi Yi was puzzled. His master invaded the palace for several days. He did not change the name of the country or ascend the throne as a new emperor. He only announced to the people that Princess Xihe was seriously ill and that the regent would rule on her behalf.
Shi Huaijin didn't respond and asked the imperial doctor: "Why isn't she awake yet?"
"Your Majesty, the princess's pulse is extremely weak and she may not be alive soon..." the imperial doctor said solemnly.
snap——
The medicine bowl he was holding suddenly fell to the ground, and the soup splashed all over the floor, staining his white brocade robe.
He stood up slowly, stepped on the doctor's hand, and asked sadly: "Can't you survive?"
"Ah!" screamed, "Yes! The princess can live!"
midnight.
Su Yuxi suddenly coughed.
[Master, wuwuwu, you finally woke up!] Xiao Qi cried with joy.
Ding!
[No. 17, in view of the fact that you have completed tasks well in the past, after the failure of this task, you are given a chance to make up for it. 】
[The new task will be calculated by calculating the revenge value of the original owner. The full value is: 100. When it drops to 0, the task is completed. Since you triggered the hidden task, the system automatically starts a dual task for you. In addition, the male protagonist is the main villain in the novel.
, the blackening value is 1000, you need to reduce it to 0, and the task is completed.】
[Number seventeen, the current revenge value of the original owner: 100, full value: 100, mission completion: 0%; villain's blackening value: 1000, full value: 1000, mission completion: 0%. Please cherish your hard-won
If you have the opportunity, speed up the task progress as appropriate.】
"Master, you failed the mission once and were given another chance."
Seeing that her master was a little confused, Xiao Qi came out of her consciousness, stretched out her paws and hugged her neck, and said.
"Why did you fail?" Su Yuxi's voice was a little hoarse and her brows furrowed.
"The villain destroyed the Northern Kingdom."
Squeak——
Xiao Qima Liuer ran away, and Su Yuxi also closed her eyes.
Suddenly, a very strong smell of blood rushed into Su Yuxi's nose, making her feel nauseated.
Shi Huaijin lit the lamp, walked to the bed, lay down next to her in undressed clothes, and stared at her white and peaceful sleeping face.
His slightly cool fingers crossed her eyebrows, causing her to feel intense discomfort and her eyebrows moved slightly.
"Princess, if you don't wake up, I will use other methods..."
After a while, he sighed, resting his chin on the top of her head, and his Adam's apple moved slightly, as if he was mocking himself:
"What should I do? If I don't see you for a moment, I want to kill someone."
"It didn't happen like this before. Is it your problem..."
His cold lips touched her forehead, and Su Yuxi suddenly felt a chill running down her spine.
