Empress Dowager Yun Lian of the matriarchal kingdom, in order to save her country, binds herself to a salvation system and embarks on a journey through time and space for healing.
World 1: Th...
"Host, why don't you use your own secret weapon? Your Blood Recovery Pill would be quite suitable."
Yun Lian remained noncommittal: "It's not impossible, but it shouldn't be like the previous world where my points were all wiped out because of the violation of the rules, right?"
003 patted his chest loudly: "Don't worry, it's all set."
Although it was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep this time, it was not simply sleeping; on the contrary, it was summoned by the main god.
Once the host becomes the empress and gains the power of faith, the host's items will be legalized. At that time, who will be able to stop their advance?
Looking at its proud little face, Yun Lian fed Yun Xiao a hemostatic pill. Once the wound had stopped bleeding, she gave it a healing pill and carried it on the way.
They didn't put him in the carriage until they bought it.
Yunxiao lay in the carriage, but he couldn't sleep soundly. He was covered in cold sweat, which almost soaked his clothes.
My mind was filled with endless darkness when suddenly a figure I cherished appeared from the portal of light.
He went back to the day he fell off the cliff.
Yun Lian looked up and asked, "What if I wanted to marry you?"
Without hesitation, Yunxiao immediately replied, "Marry! When we get back, I'll bring you home in a grand procession with eight sedan chairs and make you my principal wife."
Upon hearing this, Yun Lian blushed and leaned in to kiss his lips, which were trembling slightly with nervousness.
Yunxiao responded almost without hesitation, wrapping his arms around her waist until she collapsed into his arms like a puddle of water.
But at that moment, the scene shifted, and arrows carrying murderous intent shot towards her from all directions.
He watched helplessly as his sister, who had been hiding for so long, collapsed into his arms, carrying a sword on her back.
Yunxiao's tears streamed down his face, his heart pounded wildly, and he was in a nightmare, unable to speak. All that could be heard was his sobbing.
Yun Lian sensed his movement, stopped the carriage, lifted the curtain, and saw him in pain and bound in place. She quickly hugged him.
"Royal brother? Royal brother?"
Hearing her call, Yunxiao finally shouted out, opening her eyes, which were still filled with fear.
"don't want!"
Yun Lian rubbed her ears, startled by the sudden shout. She pinched Yun Xiao's cheek in annoyance, huffing and puffing.
"Don't want what? That sudden loud voice startled me... um..."
Before she could finish speaking, Yun Lian was kissed by him with tears in her eyes.
Yun Lian had never seen him so proactive before, and she froze on the spot, letting him do whatever he wanted.
But he was stupid; he only knew to hold it in his mouth, and water kept falling out, causing Yun Lian to taste a salty bitterness.
Yun Lian reached out and gently patted his back, sucking on his trembling lips to soothe his unease.
Yunxiao sensed her response and his mind gradually cleared.
The sensation in his hands and his gradually sinking consciousness were both reminders that this was not a dream.
Yunxiao quietly opened his eyes and saw that the person in front of him was indeed the one who had appeared countless times in his dreams. He suddenly hugged the person in his arms tightly.
Unintentionally, their positions were switched, and Yun Lian fell down. But just as they were about to take another step, the horse neighed, bringing Yun Xiao back to his senses.
He blushed and pulled away, not forgetting to help Yun Lian straighten her clothes and cover up the marks he had left on her.
"I'm sorry, my royal sister!"
Overwhelmed by intense guilt for violating human ethics, Yunxiao felt almost suffocated and didn't even dare to look at Yunlian.
Yun Lian lazily sat up, her loosely fastened clothes slipping down instantly, revealing her rounded and delicate shoulders and alluring collarbones. A red blush on her collarbone seemed to be silently accusing him.
"Yunxiao, are you sure you can do it?"
003 chuckled: "Host, a man can't say he can't. Besides, he's not like you, with God's perspective, knowing that you're not biological siblings."
While staring intently at Yunxiao, Yunlian still had time to joke with 003: "System, have you forgotten? I don't even know the timeline I'm in now. He and I aren't biological siblings."
She wanted to know how long this fool was going to keep his thoughts hidden.
Hearing her words, Yunxiao's handsome face flushed red. He mustered up his courage to look at Yunlian, who was even more enchanting than a crabapple blossom after being battered by rain.
A fleeting glance, yet an eternity in a single look.
“We are siblings… I can’t let you be cursed by thousands.”
Yun Lian tugged at his collar, pulling him closer to her. Their breaths mingled, and every blink of her eyelashes stirred ripples in his heart.
“Brother, I deeply regret entering the palace with you. If I had never met Father, would our fate have been different?”
If I wait patiently for you to propose, then even if your true parentage is eventually discovered, perhaps I won't have such regrets.
Yunxiao felt as if his heart was being crushed by a pair of invisible hands, making it difficult for him to even breathe. He watched as a tear slid down her beautiful face.
The string that had been taut in my mind suddenly snapped...
Yunxiao kissed away the tear from Yunlian's eye with almost reverence. His clear voice trembled and choked with emotion.
"I have never regretted bringing you to see the Emperor. Lianlian is so wonderful, she deserves all the best things and to be the most precious woman."
"Returning to the royal family only means having a more powerful backer, and someone who loves you more than I do, but I will never disappear."
Lianlian, I will grant you any request, except for marrying you.
Yun Lian ran her index finger along his lips, staring intently at them: "Really, no matter what I ask for, you'll agree to it?"
Yunxiao felt as if her gaze was tangible, as if there were invisible little tongues following her gaze to his lips.
"A ruler's word is law." Even if he were told to die, he wouldn't hesitate, since his life had been saved by his imperial sister three times.
Yunlian suddenly leaned close to his ear, her warm breath brushing against his earlobe.
"Brother, I want to be the Empress..."
For a moment, Yunxiao almost forgot to breathe, staring at her in disbelief. His movements were so exaggerated that his earlobe brushed against her cherry blossom-like lips.
A jolt of electricity ran through his body.
"Lianlian, are you sure?"
Not to mention the Empress, even the Crown Princess has never had such a precedent. If she really wants to take that path, the obstacles ahead will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Even the seat he wanted to sit in was fraught with danger, let alone for her, a woman, how easy would it be to sit in that seat?
"I'm quite certain, Your Majesty, that you will help me? I know you have no interest in that position."
After asking her question, Yun Lian lightly pecked his lips, the touch fleeting and almost illusory. She then gracefully stepped outside the carriage and skillfully started the carriage and sped away.
Yunxiao sat there, stunned, only the wetness on his lips reminding him that everything that had just happened was real.
A storm raged in his eyes.
"My imperial sister... she actually wants to become the empress..."
"What's so great about that location? Everyone's flocking to it..."
