Ning Wan's face flushed when her thoughts were guessed, "No."
Shen Jingyi listened to Ning Wan's duplicity and put the teacup back on the table. "You can stay here for the next few days."
After saying that, Shen Jingyi stood up and turned to leave. He looked at Ning Wan, who was relieved, and said, "Don't even think about running away."
Looking at Shen Jingyi's receding back, Ning Wan nodded. She really had no intention of running away.
[The "Refuse to Drink Tea and Seek Death" task has been completed. Task rewards:
Points: +50 (accumulated automatically)
Obtained Skill: Lightning Rod (only available in the current plane)]
Looking at her mission reward, Ning Wan frowned slightly, "Why are the mission points only 20 this time?"
"And why can the lightning rod only be used in the current plane? If I remember correctly, there was no such hint in the previous reward."
[The points for completing the task are random, and Xiaoqi cannot interfere.]
[Some of the skills gained by the host after completing the task are universal to all planes, but most are limited to the current plane. The purpose is to increase the host's enthusiasm for completing the task.]
"Oh, then there's no reward for my previous life-saving mission?"
Ning Wan was silent for a moment, not caring too much, and brought up something she had forgotten.
[some. ]
[However, this life-saving mission is long-term, and the rewards can only be cleared after exiting the current plane mission.]
After hearing these words, Ning Wan suddenly realized that she had forgotten something very important.
"Then when can I exit the plane?"
Ning Wan finally remembered this matter, but Xiao Qi looked nervous at this time.
[Host, the main quest can only be unlocked after the points exceed 200. After completing the main quest, the host can choose the time to leave the current plane.]
Main quest?
"Isn't my mission just to die?" Ning Wan always felt like she had fallen into a trap. Could it be that she was bound to a strategy system, requiring her to travel to various planes to conquer all kinds of vicious criminals?
Ning Wan couldn't help but shudder at the thought.
[Host, rest assured. Although Xiaoqi cannot guarantee what the main quest is, the only thing that is certain is that Xiaoqi will not issue a quest to capture a character.
Of course, if the host wants, they can choose a character to play based on their mood, provided that it does not conflict with the main quest.]
"Why didn't you mention the main quest before?"
Although Ning Wan was very satisfied with Xiao Qi's answer, she was still very curious about the reason why Xiao Qi did not explain it clearly.
[Well, the host might not believe me, Xiao Qi forgot.]
The main reason is that the points required to unlock this mission are too high. The previous hosts either died at the beginning or in the first three episodes. How could it still remember to introduce the main mission to the host? Whether it can trigger the mission and survive is a problem.
Ning Wan listened to this perfunctory answer but didn't say much.
Look around.
She suddenly realized that she had not yet carefully examined this place.
If I could take the fine yellow pear wood in front of me and the fine porcelain on the table home, I wouldn't have to struggle for at least fifty years.
Thinking of this, Ning Wan lay down on the dragon bed again.
The reason is simple: it’s so easy to sleep.
Ning Wan's identity was very special, and no one dared to say a word for a while.
…
At this time, in the Yangxin Palace, a man over fifty years old was kneeling on the open space.
His head was pressed against the ground and his body was shaking slightly.
"Minister Su, what do you think?"
Shen Jingyi looked at the memorial on the table without even glancing at Su Liming.
Su Liming: "I am terrified and cannot handle this heavy responsibility."
"Am I discussing this with you?"
Shen Jingyi picked up the brush beside him and began to write on the memorial.
These people are quite interesting. One moment they are opposing the new emperor, and the next moment they are choosing concubines for him on the grounds that the harem is empty.
Should he praise them for being stupid, or should he praise them for being stupid?
Su Liming didn't expect that Shen Jingyi would actually let him be elected as the new Minister of Rites. Is this a warning to him?
But Su Liming couldn't think of what he had done to anger the emperor.
Although he was very dissatisfied with the new emperor's usurpation of the throne, he was just a minister and could not change anything.
Fortunately, the new emperor did not take his anger out on the people of Anping.
"I obey your command."
Su Liming opened his mouth and was about to refuse, but when he looked up and saw the obvious displeasure between Shen Jingyi's eyebrows, he didn't dare to offend him again.
Although getting promoted is supposed to be a happy thing, Su Liming couldn't be happy at all at this moment.
"Get up."
Shen Jingyi threw aside several approved memorials and looked at Su Liming, who seemed to be hesitant to speak. "I heard that Minister Su has never had any children?"
As soon as Shen Jingyi said this, Su Liming subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Shen Jingyi. After a brief glance, Su Liming immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I do not have any children."
Could it be that the emperor wants to be a matchmaker for himself?
He and his wife have never been able to have a son or a daughter, but he has never thought of taking a concubine to carry on his family line.
Now that the new emperor has mentioned this matter, could it be that he wants to arrange some trouble for me? If this really goes as the new emperor wants and he brings the person back home, I will at least be in big trouble.
Or is this the price of promotion?
He wanted to build me up into his power, but was afraid that I would betray him, so he used this opportunity to plant spies.
It’s better to find a way to refuse.
"Would you consider taking in a goddaughter?"
Shen Jingyi's undeniable voice came again.
He didn't have the mind to guess what Su Liming was thinking. If Su Liming's identity was not the most suitable, he wouldn't have asked someone to tell him to stay after the court session.
Su Liming frowned, wondering if the new emperor was hinting at his adoption of a son.
But he is old and has no children. If he doesn't adopt a son, he is afraid that no one will burn incense for him after his death.
As for why he didn't adopt a foster daughter, firstly, he was afraid that his wife would misunderstand him, and secondly, if he adopted a foster daughter, she would still be restricted by gender in many things and would not be able to help him.
"I am guilty, I know my crime, please..."
Thinking about it, Su Liming's knees fell to the ground again, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Shen Jingyi.
"I have no intention of blaming Minister Su, so there's no need to apologize."
After saying that, he looked at Su Liming without saying anything.
Su Liming waited for a long time but received no further comments. However, the new emperor did not seem like he would speak directly, so he had no choice but to give up and said, "I will obey the emperor's orders."
She's just a concubine. At most, I can explain everything to my wife and let her fend for herself.
"Madam Su went up the mountain to pray to Buddha and burn incense. She happened to meet an orphan girl and they had a very pleasant conversation. She brought her back to the Su Mansion and adopted her as her adopted daughter. Three days later, she was included in the family tree and given a name..."
