Qin Yuqing unexpectedly transmigrated into a toxic novel and became its female lead, binding herself to an Empress Sys...
Chapter 32 Are you willing to accompany me to regain my past memories? I am willing...
The seats in the examination hall were partitioned off, so Qin Yu could not see anyone except the person opposite him.
Qin Yuqing recalled seeing the test questions and test papers in the Modern Museum. The test papers on display had neat handwriting and no signs of erasure. They were so neat that they looked like they were printed out. It was hard to believe that they were handwritten with a brush.
After thinking it over in her mind, Qin Yuqing took a deep breath and began to write seriously. It would be a lie to say that she was not nervous. Modern education culture is definitely different from that of this era. All she can do is to write according to her own understanding based on the topic given by the emperor, the plot of the novel and the known information in recent days.
What are the common people of the world? The common people are the foundation of a dynasty. Born amidst great changes, they also lived through prosperous times. They cultivated the great Yin Dynasty...
Once I get started, even if ideas don't come pouring in like a fountain, at least I can write smoothly.
Qin Yuqing guessed that the emperor's question must be related to the situation in Dayin. This move was not only to test the students' understanding, but also to warn court officials with ulterior motives through the test papers. Everything they did was in his eyes, and it was more like pointing out cheating in the imperial examination.
Qin Yuqing and Lu Jingchuan acted ruthlessly, and many ministers complained constantly. But judging from the results, poor children no longer had to worry about losing their eligibility for the gold list because they did not become disciples. However, when it came to the situation in the court, many ministers expressed opposition because it affected their interests.
They claimed that people as ruthless as the Sixth Princess and Lu Jingchuan, who killed people without blinking an eye and refused to listen to any explanation, were not the kind of good ministers who could act.
The voices of impeachment in the court were getting louder and louder, and some people took advantage of the fact that Qin Yuqing was not in the court to speak ill of him.
On the day when the impeachment voices were the strongest, Lu Jingchuan walked into the court holding a dark red sword, made some private matters of officials from various departments public, and made harsh remarks.
"I have more than just this little bit in my hand." Lu Jingchuan pointed his sword at the minister who was shouting the loudest, and said with a cold face, "You should be thankful that you didn't commit a capital crime."
At this point, no one in the court or the country, at least not openly, dared to say anything. However, even though Lu Jingchuan brought a long sword to court, he was still confined by the emperor, meaning that he should cultivate his character at home and not be so violent.
However, any discerning person could see that the emperor was protecting Lu Jingchuan and Qin Yuqing. Some smart ministers began to reconsider the court situation. When the sixth princess Qin Yuqing's imperial examination was over and the results were announced, that would be the day for them to decide whether to change sides.
During the three days and two nights at the examination hall, Qin Yuqing took a total of four exam questions. Each question would be a difficult essay in modern times, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he had to write a long essay.
From the relationship between ministers, the people, and the Great Yin, to how to prevent local plague, all topics start from the lives of the people.
When the last stroke was made, Qin Yuqing put down her pen with a sense of relief. Over the past few days, she had been extremely nervous, even more nervous than when she was taking the college entrance examination.
Seeing Qin Yuqing put down her pen, Shen Yanqing, who had been guarding her for three days, came over and took Qin Yuqing away from the examination hall.
"Thank you, General Shen, for these three days." Qin Yuqing stood at the entrance of the examination hall and thanked Shen Yanqing inside. Without her help, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating would have been difficult during these three days. For this, she was not only grateful to Shen Yanqing, but she was also grateful to Lu Jingchuan for his attentiveness.
"If you are really grateful, why not go to the Lu family? After all, he fought for you." Shen Yanqing seemed to want to say something, but after thinking for a while, he only said two words, "Go see him."
"He has been waiting for you." Shen Yanqing said this and turned and left.
Qin Yuqing sat in the carriage and Chuntao drove her to Lu Mansion.
He has been waiting for you.
I'll wait for you.
You are alive.
These three sentences made Qin Yuqing very concerned. She always felt that she was not simply traveling through a book, but there was nothing wrong with her memory in modern times. This was something she could confirm, and the system also repeatedly emphasized that this was the world of a novel.
Qin Yuqing sighed with a headache. She could feel that the people around her were alive. At least in their perception, this was a real world. This gave her an illusion, as if she had really lived here before.
Warning! Warning!
[This world is the novel world "The Empress". If the host doubts the authenticity of the world again, we will erase the world and the host.]
Qin Yuqing: ???
Qin Yuqing: Isn't that right? Are you spying on me?
Qin Yuqing frowned. She actually didn't like being watched, especially when she was thinking about something.
[This is a formal process. The system has the right to know everything about the host.]
"But I don't like it." Qin Yuqing said in his heart with a cold face, "You are invading my privacy."
[The host's objection is invalid. This is determined by the process and will take effect the moment the host binds.]
"Oh?" Qin Yuqing pulled out a small arrow from the corner of the carriage and put it against his neck, sneering and threatening in his heart, "If I die, you or your mission will not be completed."
The system fell silent again. In its silence, Qin Yuqing felt anger and surprise. Perhaps it did not expect that a host would be so bold.
"Have you thought it over?" Qin Yuqing pushed her hand forward a little, and scarlet bloodstains appeared on her fair and smooth neck. "You don't have much time left. You know I never talk nonsense."
The reason why Qin Yuqing dared to do this was because of the system's previous warnings. If it really wanted to wipe her out, it would not have wasted time talking to her. At least the system had absolute power of life and death over the host.
So there is only one possibility, they cannot move her at the moment, or in other words, only she can save the world.
The system made a rustling sound, and after a while a cold mechanical voice sounded.
[Host, the process will not change, but the host can rest assured that the system will reduce the monitoring authority of the host. ]
Qin Yuqing knew what it meant to quit while he was ahead. Since the system said so, Qin Yuqing put down the arrow in his hand.
"It's a deal."
The system didn't speak and disappeared again.
They soon arrived at the Lu Mansion. Qin Yuqing put the system matters aside for the time being. However, there was no prompt that Task 2 had been completed so far, which made Qin Yuqing a little anxious.
As soon as he got off the car, he saw Mr. Lu standing at the door. Qin Yuqing had a respectful attitude towards Mr. Lu, so when he was about to salute, he was stopped by Mr. Lu.
"Jingchuan is too arrogant. I hope the Sixth Princess can give him some advice." Father Lu said with a worried look on his face. "He's angry and has been confined by His Majesty. He hasn't eaten in days."
"I hope the Sixth Princess will consider my appearance and help me persuade Jingchuan not to joke about his body." Father Lu lowered his posture very much. He was speaking from a father's perspective and sincerely hoped that Lu Jingchuan could become a better person.
Seeing that Father Lu had said this, Qin Yuqing knew that if she refused, she would be showing no respect to him. So, Qin Yuqing knelt slightly towards Father Lu and said sincerely, "I will do my best, but General Lu may not listen to me. I hope General Lu will forgive me when the time comes."
"No, Jingchuan will definitely listen to you as long as it's your words." Father Lu smiled happily and ordered the housekeeper to take Qin Yuqing to Lu Jingchuan's yard.
Qin Yuqing was confused, wasn't she? Why would Lu Jingchuan listen to what she said? Shen Yanqing's words to her also had this meaning.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Qin Yuqing smelled a smell of alcohol. The housekeeper walked up carefully and knocked on the door. Before he could say anything, he heard the person inside shouting hoarsely.
"Get out of here!"
"Master, the Sixth Princess is here."
The moment the butler's voice fell, a crackling sound was heard in the room, like the sound of many wine jars being overturned.
"Master, are you okay?" The butler had just put his hand on the door, ready to open it, when he heard a somewhat panicked voice from the person inside.
"I'm not feeling well today and won't see any visitors."
Qin Yuqing noticed that there seemed to be someone leaning against the door. He blocked the door with his body and pleaded almost humbly.
"Don't open the door."
The moment the voice fell, Qin Yuqing felt as if his heart was being grabbed by something, and an uncomfortable dull pain came over him, making it difficult to breathe, and his nose unconsciously felt sour.
She wanted to go in and give this person a good hug.
"You go first." Qin Yuqing thought for a while. No matter how young Lu Jingchuan was, he might also care about his reputation, so he let the servants leave first.
With Mr. Lu's instructions, the housekeeper consciously took the other servants out of the yard and stood guard at the gate not far away.
"Lu Jingchuan, it's me, open the door." Qin Yuqing stood at the door and said inside.
The person holding the door still didn't move, and no sound came from inside.
"I know you're listening." Qin Yuqing walked forward a little. She stretched out her hand and pressed it against the door, feeling the warmth coming from the other side. "Open the door, dear. I have something to tell you."
A hoarse voice came from the other side of the door, as if the owner was trying hard to suppress some emotion: "Tomorrow, I will come to see Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess."
"But I can't wait."
In an instant, new branches seemed to grow on the trees, and the withered flowers seemed to bloom with new and bold flowers.
"you......"
Qin Yuqing saw that the support Lu Jingchuan had against the door was a little loose, so she seized the opportunity and kicked it hard.
Before Lu Jingchuan could finish his words, the door was kicked open and he almost fell to the ground.
The room was littered with wine jars, and not far away there was a large piece of broken wine jar. The strong smell of alcohol gathered in the room, emitting an unpleasant odor.
The moment Qin Yuqing saw the room, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable, but more angry.
Just because of such a trivial emotional matter, you hide in your room and drink all day long. What kind of thing is this?
"It's time to get some sunshine." Qin Yuqing pulled Lu Jingchuan out, took his hands off his eyes, and pulled him to sit in a nearby pavilion. "The sun is so bright today. What's the point of staying in the room drinking alone?"
Lu Jingchuan was like a child who had done something wrong, he kept his head down and didn't say anything.
Qin Yuqing reached out and pinched Lu Jingchuan's chin, forcing Lu Jingchuan to look at her straight in the eye. Only then did she realize that Lu Jingchuan's eyes were red, his nose and ears were red, his eyes seemed to be filled with tears, and his face was covered with many crisscrossing tear marks.
With just this one glance, the wall of Qin Yuqing's heart that he had built up all this time collapsed.
"Are you crying?"
Lu Jingchuan struggled to break free from Qin Yuqing's shackles, lowered his head again, and was about to leave when he was grabbed by Qin Yuqing.
"I don't even remember."
Qin Yuqing's heart was beating fast. She didn't know if her choice at this moment was right, but she didn't want to complete the task in a confused manner. She wanted to figure out what was going on in this world.
"If you think I am who I am, then I ask you to accompany me in finding the truth about the world."
This time it was Lu Jingchuan who looked up first, his icy face full of surprise and astonishment.
"Would you like to accompany me to regain my past memories?"
Lu Jingchuan's throat moved slightly. After a while, his voice became hoarse and tears fell again.
"I do."
