In the middle of the night, as expected, a ding-dong sound rang out, and the dormant system finally came to life.

"Dear host, I'm awake. Did you miss me?"

"Emperor System 186 is about to serve you!"

"First of all, I apologize for sleeping for so long because I was short of energy, haha. Now I'm all set, and I'll be happy to serve you."

"You can ask me anything you want to know. After all, you've only inherited my mantle for a short time, and we've only had two brief conversations. I'll try my best to help you when I wake up."

Xiao Zhixing remained calm and composed.

The other party did not notice any changes in the system panel information, which further convinced her that the system was not powerful.

But that's strange.

Based on her understanding, this so-called Emperor System was powerful and domineering, roaming through various universes to plunder fortune; it couldn't possibly be as naive and simple as this.

Even though his "Dao Zhan" technique is indeed specifically designed to counter all kinds of intelligent matter.

But it's not right to imprison this thing right away without letting the other party notice anything unusual.

Also, the original owner hasn't been in possession of it for long, so it seems the two sides aren't familiar with each other, which is good.

The previous host of the inheritance was clearly the original owner's mother.

Suppressing her thoughts, she wanted to see how this thing would try to fool her.

"186, I want to know my true background," Xiao Zhixing said directly.

"Uh, um... what did you find out? What's been going on lately?" System 186 asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing, I'm just curious. I don't believe my mother is an ordinary person."

Xiao Zhixing took out the white jade from the original owner's neck, his voice gentle, sweet, innocent, and even a little bit affected:

"This jade pendant is very precious, and it is engraved with dragons and phoenixes."

In ancient times, who would dare to carve dragons and phoenixes in ordinary households? Wearing them so blatantly around her neck, only a fool wouldn't notice anything unusual.

186 coughed; he was the fool who gave the jade pendant.

At that time, I had just bound myself to this little host and was in a hurry to give him something as a greeting gift.

Unexpectedly, it found this among the host's assets. It was an identity token given to it by the original owner's mother, so it did the favor.

Xiao Zhixing waited quietly for it to tell him how it would weave the story.

"Well, your mother is indeed extraordinary. In fact, she is Princess Yuansheng of the former Yin Dynasty, Xiao Yan. I don't need to tell you what happened after that, right? She is a famous person, known throughout the world. Everyone knows about her experiences."

Xiao Zhixing continued with the consonant:

"Let's talk about it. I don't believe those rumors. You're one of her people, so you should be able to give me the most truthful answer."

"Of course, let me remind you first, what I most want to know is, is my father really Xiao Yuanshan?"

Why did Mother hide in Xiaoyan Village?

It should be noted that the current Great Sheng Dynasty was actually inherited directly from the Yin Dynasty.

Seventy percent of the senior officials in the hall were former ministers of the Yin Dynasty.

The current emperor, Zhao Yunqi, was once a subject of the Yin Dynasty. He married Xiao Yan and became her son-in-law.

Twenty years ago, the late Emperor Xiao Yuzhen, also known as the last Emperor of Yin, fell seriously ill.

There was a period of chaos because Emperor Yin Mo had no sons, and the collateral branches of the royal family had no capable figures; they were either incompetent or crippled.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yunqi donned the yellow robe and was enthroned by the officials as emperor, changing the dynasty to Dasheng.

It is said that the last emperor of the Shang dynasty personally issued an edict to pass on the throne.

This was to avoid the calamities of war during dynastic changes and to prevent the common people from suffering.

He made this arrangement in the hope that his only daughter would survive.

Thus, Xiao Yan naturally went from being a princess of the previous dynasty to becoming the empress of the new dynasty.

Then, a few years later, Xiao Yan died in public.

Unexpectedly, they hid in a small village deep in the mountains of southwest China, where one of them gave birth to the original owner of the body, and more than ten years passed like that.

Xiao Zhixing thought to himself.

Even if Zhao Yunqi wanted to discard the old ministers after they had served their purpose, he would have to wait until those old ministers of the Yin Dynasty were replaced.

Strangely, when Xiao Yan announced her death, the old ministers of the Yin Dynasty who had been trusted and promoted by Emperor Mo of Yin did not react at all.

He just watched Xiao Yan 'die' like that, appearing exceptionally cold, heartless, and ungrateful.

On the contrary, the public has many complaints about this matter.

Many people still remember the kindness of the last emperor of Yin and are grateful that he personally cut off the Yin dynasty's lineage for the sake of peace in the world.

Therefore, Xiao Yan's death damaged the reputation of Zhao Yunqi and others.

What's even stranger is that Zhao Yunqi doesn't try to hide or explain himself; he's so despicable that it makes you grit your teeth and see it clearly.

Needless to say, those veteran officials, even when they were scolded to their faces by renowned scholars, remained unresponsive and unperturbed.

As Xiao Zhixing pondered these thoughts, he stared at the system, waiting for its response.

The system stammered for a moment, then, in a fit of desperation, said:

"First of all, let me clarify that I don't know who your father is!"

“I was awakened by Xiao Yan when she was pregnant with you. She had already escaped from the palace.”

"I asked her about it later, and she joked that there were too many men around, and she herself didn't know whose bloodline you were, and Xiao Yuanshan was one of them..."

Xiao Zhixing, expressionless: Are you playing this fancy game?

Is this an extreme act of revenge after being heartbroken by a "phoenix man" (a man from a poor background who achieves success)?

Love-struck people shouldn't exist.

Now that she has become the original owner of this body, she has to face this chaotic background, and her feelings are somewhat complicated.

She seized upon the key words and pressed for further questions:

"Awakened? Why were you asleep? Logically, your points shouldn't be zero, right?"

Xiao Yan helped Zhao Yunqi stabilize the court and was also the new empress, so it was impossible for the system not to have any points for her.

The system remained silent for a while, then said:

"Alright, for our safety in the future, I'll tell you everything."

"Actually, I'm a subsystem!"
