"Is it only raining in Yuansha City?"

Su Anmin slapped his thigh, "Yes, that rain was strange. The rain in the surrounding areas had subsided, but in Yuansha City, the rain was pouring down."

"The rain lasted for two days and two nights. Yuansha City was flooded. There was nothing the prefect could do but order the dikes to be breached to release the floodwaters. The downstream area was turned into a sea of ​​yellow mud. Alas."

Everyone listened quietly.

"The rain that followed was even stranger. It stopped in Yuansha City, but suddenly it went down to Haizhou Prefecture, where it also lasted for two days and two nights. As a result, the entire Haizhou and Huzhou were flooded, turning a minor flood into a once-in-a-century flood—"

Su Anmin became increasingly sorrowful as he spoke, “After the flood came a great plague. The epidemic swept across the south. The imperial court sent people to help, but they couldn’t. Too many people died. Nine out of ten houses were empty. There was nowhere to bury the corpses, and there was no firewood to burn them. They were just left to dry on the ground, which led to the rampant spread of the plague…”

Li Jun and the others, who were listening to the conversation between the two, did not know why Xiao Zhixing suddenly brought up that matter.

They knew that history; it was a natural disaster that brought about the downfall of the Yin Dynasty, and it came fiercely.

The uprisings that followed the great disaster left the last emperor of the Shang dynasty exhausted.

Empress Zhang suddenly passed away, and Emperor Yin was greatly shocked. He endured three years before finally passing the throne to the present emperor.

!!

Wait, why is the prince asking this? Could it be related to her identity?

Everyone couldn't help but prick up their ears and continue listening to their conversation.

After Su Anmin finished speaking, Xiao Zhixing said, "I once heard my master say that the great disaster was extraordinary."

Su Anmin couldn't help but boldly ask, "What's unusual about it?"

Mr. Hengqu must be some kind of master, and he was curious about his words.

"Monsters run rampant, and the nation is in turmoil."

As she uttered those eight words calmly, a burst of bright lightning erupted in the sky.

Everyone was startled, thinking Xiao Zhixing was joking, but then they saw her calm and serious expression.

Some of them had hair on their backs.

No, a monster?

What kind of monster is this?!

Is Your Highness telling a story?

Are there really monsters in this world?

The crowd was in a state of confusion and fear.

No way? Huh?!

Xiao Zhixing wasn't lying, because she knew who caused that natural disaster.

The culprit is the Emperor System!

The method used was several sets of large-scale artificial rainmaking instruments from a high-tech planet.

He instructed Lowe to use instruments to turn areas that were only drizzling into torrential rain, or even extremely heavy rain, ultimately causing disasters.

This is the information Xiao Zhixing obtained after scanning several subsystems.

It was this heavy rain that suddenly reminded her of the terrible things the Emperor System had done.

And a certain thought in my mind became clearer and clearer.

The viewers in the live stream also thought of that so-called monster.

[Yellow comment: So, there really is something that's the ultimate mastermind behind all of this?]

[Green comment: We're furious! That century of darkness was definitely their doing!]

[Red comment: We're incredibly curious now, what exactly is this so-called monster?]

"No, Your Highness, are you...you're not joking?" Cao Mengyuan shrank his neck and asked nervously.

Xiao Zhixing nodded, "These are my master's exact words, along with those of Daoist Wuxu and countless others behind the scenes, all working to find and deal with this monster!"

She told them about this to prevent the Emperor System from causing trouble again and to prepare them mentally.

The evil deeds committed by the Emperor System should naturally be made known to everyone.

Otherwise, she would feel uncomfortable keeping it all bottled up inside.

Everyone fell completely silent, their expressions even blank for a moment.

It's as if my worldview and philosophy of life have collapsed and been rebuilt.

Su Anmin suddenly realized, "No wonder, no wonder, my God, it was a demon at work!"

Then, wouldn't the Yin Dynasty have perished at the hands of a demon?

This idea made them gasp in surprise.

Nobody's a fool; just wait and see who the big winner is in the end, and you'll know who the devil is helping...

Liu Zizai covered his face. "Your Highness, you shouldn't have let us hear these things."

How will they view that person after this, and how will they feel at ease doing their jobs?

Xiao Zhixing chuckled, "You're overthinking it. It has nothing to do with him."

At that time, the system was still in Xiao Yan's body. She guessed that the system must have had a conflict with Xiao Yan, which caused it to use such drastic methods to provoke Xiao Yan.

First, he caused a great disaster, disrupting the Yin Dynasty; then, he murdered Empress Zhang, killing her and destroying her spirit.

It might be an attempt to force Xiao Yan, or to intimidate her, or perhaps it's a final act of revenge, or even a pledge of allegiance made after learning of Zhao Yunqi's ambitions.

What a wonderful gift it would be to help him ascend the throne.

The crowd looked dazed, half believing and half doubting her words.

Even if he wasn't the mastermind, that monster was definitely helping him—

They weren't stupid; they recalled the strange way their elders interacted with the emperor.

He shivered.

Do the elders in your family know about the existence of the demon?

At this moment, their curiosity reached its peak.

Xiao Zhixing smiled faintly. What difference does it make whether they know or not? There's nothing they can do.

The past is gone, the present is the present.

All she needs to do is achieve her own goals.

The rain outside gradually subsided, but Xiao Zhixing couldn't sleep. He stood with his hands behind his back at the door, gazing at the hazy mountain shadows in the distance.

A jumble of thoughts raced through my mind, flashing back to everything that had happened since I arrived here, eventually forming an increasingly clear line in my mind.

Soon, we'll know the truth.

"Your Highness," Liu Zizai walked up behind her, "you must be suffering from keeping these things to yourself, right?"

Xiao Zhixing was surprised; Liu Zi's overly familiar tone made it seem as if they were very close.
