Chapter 51
For this battle, Yunmian’s reward was finally issued a few days later.
She was not a princess, nor a general, but she was awarded the position of leading troops and the power of military advisor. When she turned fifteen, she could even participate in court meetings and discuss state affairs as a woman, just like the eldest princess Yun Peijin.
Yun Mian knew how much pressure her uncle was under to make this decision, so when she heard others' angry criticism, she did not make the angry excuses that others expected.
She knew that everything she had came from the love of her mother and relatives, and more importantly, from her own firm choices every time.
In September of the same year, the third prince Yun Yi was announced to have died suddenly, and the emperor Yun Peishu personally used red ink to cross out his name from the royal family tree.
"Father and he talked for a long time in the secret room." Yun Chen put down the book in his hand and said gently to the two people who were staring at him curiously, "Except for Father and Yun Yi himself, no one knows what they talked about."
Perhaps he had some vague guesses in his mind. After all, his father had not concealed from him some of his actions towards Yun Yi over the years. However, Yun Chen did not want to tell anyone about those so-called weird things and arouse the curiosity of the two little guys.
Sometimes knowing too much may not make you happy.
But from that day on, everyone noticed that the emperor seemed to be particularly fond of Yun Mian, and could even be described as "excessively indulgent" and "without any bottom line."
Even Yun Lin always murmured unconvincedly, saying that he suspected that if Yun Mian wanted the stars in the sky, his father would have to grow wings and fly up to pick them for her.
But this kind of kindness, which even went beyond ordinary family affection, made Yun Peijin find something strange.
Later, Yun Mian heard that her mother had beaten up her uncle the emperor. The ministers now looked at her mother as if she were an unreasonable lunatic. After all, who in the world would dare to beat the emperor?
Only Yun Peijin dares!
"Mianmian, do you want to go see Yun Yi?" The system suddenly asked her one day: "He didn't die suddenly, but was demoted to a commoner, and then sent by your uncle the emperor to guard the imperial mausoleum, and he will never be free for the rest of his life."
"Has our main mission completely failed?" Yun Mian cared more about this than Yun Yi.
The system was silent for a moment, then whispered, "No... the progress bar is still there, and there is no prompt that the task has failed."
Eh?!
Yunmian's curiosity was aroused, and she rested her chin on her hand to study the task progress bar with the system.
"Why is this happening?" Yun Mian pondered, "Logically speaking, Yun Yi was deposed and became a commoner, so he should never be able to be emperor again. This progress bar that allowed him to temper his character should have stopped."
"I'll ask the General Administration." The system asked as soon as it was asked, and the error information was fed back to the superior system in an instant.
After half an incense stick of time, it hesitantly read out the General Administration's answer after the test.
“Mianmian, they said… because this small world has given up on choosing Yun Yi as the protagonist again, it doesn’t matter if he is demoted to a commoner. As long as his character is tortured and tempered until he dies, the progress bar will slowly increase!!”
Yun Mian couldn't help but exclaim: "Can the protagonist still be abandoned?"
"It seems that it is not possible." The system whispered to her, "But this world has already gone through the first round, so in the second round, the will of the small world regretted choosing Yun Yi, and was afraid that Yun Yi, who still had memories, would still cause chaos in this round, so it submitted a transaction application to our headquarters."
Yunmian suddenly realized: "So that's how it is!!"
It turns out that this mission is not to temper Yun Yi's character so that he can reunite the four kingdoms, but to let her do the side mission under the guise of the main mission! !
"I feel like He is sometimes a little stupid, and sometimes seems a little smart." Yun Mian also muttered in a deliberately low voice.
The system nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Do you want to go see Yun Yi?"
Yunmian shook his head without hesitation.
System: "Why? In the last episode, you, the eldest princess, and other royal children were all harmed by him..."
"Because I have to go home and accompany my mother to treat her hidden illness." The much-grown girl smiled and said softly, "In the plot, I was the mud under Yun Yi's feet, but not now. Now I am my mother's precious little cotton! I don't want to see the face of someone I hate, whether he is regretful, crying, or even willing to be the mud under my feet, I don't want to see it."
She just wanted to accompany her mother in this world and enjoy every day of life, because in Yunmian's heart, the mother in each world was the same and completely different. Although she had no memories of other mission worlds, she always had a feeling of witnessing her mother's different personalities and lives.
I am very happy. My little heart is filled to the brim, because I am healthy and happy, and I can easily make my mother smile every day.
She is different from Yunmian who lies on the hospital bed and is a burden to her mother, forcing her mother to hide and cry secretly.
Yunmian likes the mothers in these worlds, and also likes the healthy and free selves she is.
System: "Are you going to let him go so easily?"
"Uncle System, how do you think I should treat him?" Yun Mian asked curiously.
System: "...I don't know either, but I feel like this is too easy for him."
Yun Yi is the worst protagonist he has ever encountered when accompanying Mian Mian on a mission. Looking at Yun Mian’s fate in his previous life, the system was so angry that it wanted to go to Yun Yi’s grave and dance!
"No way~" The girl smiled slyly and said crisply: "Uncle System, do you know how the eunuchs in the Emperor's prison carry out executions?"
"Beat them until their skin is torn and flesh is exposed?" The system guessed: "Or tie them up and don't give them food or water, or brand them with prison marks?" It understands all these, it has seen a lot!
Unexpectedly, Yunmian shook her head and said, "No."
"Most of them will confess their crimes themselves." The little girl's voice was light and fluttering, like something out of a fairy tale.
"Why? This is impossible..." The system retorted subconsciously.
Yun Mian frowned and said softly, "Because they have weaknesses. Forcing a confession by torture is the lowest form of interrogation. The Dali Temple is best at finding the prisoners' weaknesses, just like the weak spot of a snake. Once you find it, and then gently pinch it, the prisoners will lose most of their will to resist."
At this point, she exclaimed, "If those people still refuse to obey, then we will defeat their weak spots, and then they will fall into the endless abyss forever, and it will be difficult for them to climb up again in their lifetime."
For some reason, the system shuddered involuntarily when it heard the soft voice of the host. It stumbled for a long time before asking, "Then, what does all this have to do with Yun Yi? He is not a prisoner, and he cannot be tortured into confessing..."
"But he has a weak spot." Yun Mian poked the cold sphere of the system uncle and said slowly: "All his ambitions for the throne and unifying the world, his use and unscrupulous means of using my second brother and all our relatives, are his weak spots."
"He is greedy and selfish, so he can't bear to see others stand higher and walk more steadily than him. He has experienced victory once, stepping on the bones of our relatives to reach the top step by step, but if it happens again, none of us are willing to continue to pave the way for him with our lives."
"Uncle System, do you think Yun Yi, who has become a commoner, is eager to return to the top?"
The system smacked its lips and said, "That must be what you desire, and you are trembling with longing day and night."
Yun Mian clapped her hands briskly: "That's right, as long as he still remembers everything from his previous life, as long as he still wants to return to the pinnacle of imperial power, he will forever and ever live in excruciating pain and hideous hatred."
"I don't need to say anything to him, I don't need to stand in front of him and show off. I just need to stand higher and live a better life, and he will struggle desperately in that stinking mud, and let hatred and pain erode all his rationality."
"Perhaps one day, he will become a madman without any reason, and everything he once had will be just a dream that he can never wake up from."
Yun Mian finished speaking slowly, and slowly placed the military book in her hand, which she had not been reading, on the table.
She exhaled gently, closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she was as clear and transparent as usual.
"Uncle System, my second brother said that the greatest pain a person can suffer in this life is not in the body, but in one's heart."
She pointed to her heart and said softly, word by word, "My heart is filled with the love of my mother and my family. There is no room for more hatred and resentment."
As for Yun Yi, as long as his inner ambitions are not eliminated, his pain will increase day by day.
He would rot by himself in a dark corner, a place Yun Mian would never set foot in again in her life.
My second brother said that her name came from a flower as white as a cloud in the country of Nan Ke. It is a warm and soft little cotton ball.
Yunmian likes this answer.
When the system uncle asked her, she was moved. She wanted to tie up Yun Yi, drag him to the high city wall, and let him jump down like Yun Mian in the plot and fall into a pool of scarlet mud.
So when she was convincing the system uncle word by word, she was also convincing herself word by word.
She still has a very long life ahead of her, and she wants Yun Yi to see with his own eyes and hear with his own ears how well she is living.
Just like in his previous life, Yun Yi tortured his mother, making her life worse than death, but he didn't dare to die.
"Mianmian." The system suddenly said, "I feel like you in this world have grown up a lot."
In the previous world, Mianmian, although gentle, was still spoiled like a child by her mother and friends until a long, long time later. Her life had hardly experienced any twists and turns.
But the Mianmian in this world would have his fingers rubbed to white bones from killing enemies, would shoot two people without blinking, would play with human nature to trap the law, and would even charge into battle like a chess piece in an army of thousands.
It was still the same face, the same soul, but it seemed to be unknowingly stained with the cold smell of blood and sharp iron blades.
Although she is only a teenager now, she seems to be more decisive and mature than she was in her previous life when she was dozens of years old.
Like a small tree that tries its best to break through the stone, it grows desperately under the watering of a little bit of rain and dew, and finally can stretch its branches freely in the sunshine.
Yun Mian held Uncle System in her hand and placed it on her shoulder, then turned over and lightly jumped onto the horse's back, her eyebrows and eyes as bright as if they were embellished by the sun: "Of course! I want to be a general!"
The little tree is still growing hard. One day, it will break the rock on its body and grow into a towering tree!
In the next chapter, this mission transition world will end. What do you want to watch in the next world? An entertainment variety show about kids? A true or false daughter? Horror or supernatural? Or something else?
