Chapter 33 Complete the main task 2: Don’t be afraid to escape, I will...
The early spring sunshine isn't intense, but it warms the heart. A tender, youthful throbbing lurks within the new buds, quietly taking root and sprouting.
The two looked at each other silently, one was as strong as newly brewed white wine, the other was like green and slightly astringent fruit wine. Both were intoxicating, but in different ways.
"I." Qin Yuqing suddenly felt a little regretful. She said this without thinking. If her memory was really missing, how could she not have noticed it until now.
On the other hand, the system is above this world. If the system is determined to stop her from exploring this world, then the system has ten thousand ways that she cannot detect.
"There's no point in regretting it."
Lu Jingchuan seemed to see the hesitation in Qin Yuqing's heart. His face was flushed with alcohol, not sure if it was because he had been crying or because he was drunk. He rarely crossed the line and stretched out his hand to gently touch the back of Qin Yuqing's hand. Seeing that Qin Yuqing did not retract her hand, he carefully covered it and said.
"Don't be afraid, I'm always here."
This simple sentence gave Qin Yuqing infinite courage. She didn't want to complete the task in a muddle, but she was afraid. If the world was really as she guessed, then who wrote this book in the real world?
Also, who is the original heroine living in this body? And why did she end up here?
Countless mysteries were waiting for Qin Yuqing not far away. She could see that the road ahead was surrounded by mysteries, and only the systematic path was passable.
This time the system's warning sound did not appear. It seemed that the system could not do anything to her for the time being. At least the system had to protect her.
In this case, the three assassination attempts in Wenshan are worth further investigation. The system gave the result that there would be no life-threatening situation for the first two times, but the last time was indeed life-threatening, and the system was very urgent.
What is the basis for the system's judgment?
"Lu Jingchuan." Qin Yuqing hesitated. What she said just now was impulsive. Besides, she knew nothing about love. But she would not let anyone down, and she also did not want to be let down. "If there is really no problem with my memory, it is you I hope for."
Qin Yuqing thought for a moment, took a deep breath, pulled her hand out, held Lu Jingchuan's hand, and said, "I hope you can understand that I am me and she is her. We are not the same person."
Lu Jingchuan's face turned even redder, his eyes were as clear as water, and after listening to Qin Yuqing's words, he nodded obediently: "I know, before that, I will help you find your memory."
Qin Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Lu Jingchuan would stubbornly tell her that she was the one he was waiting for, but fortunately he didn't.
But she was a little sad. She wanted to know who the woman named A Ruan was that made Lu Jingchuan miss her so much.
Qin Yuqing wanted to say something when she suddenly felt something heavy on her hand. She looked down and saw a hairy head. Perhaps the hair had not been taken care of seriously for a few days, and a few strands of hair had fallen mischievously elsewhere.
"You're so good." Qin Yuqing gently tidied Lu Jingchuan's hair with her other hand. She seemed to hear Lu Jingchuan mumbling something, so Qin Yuqing lowered her head and listened.
"Don't be afraid, I'm always here."
"I will always be with you."
Qin Yuqing's heart couldn't help but soften. If she stayed here any longer, she was afraid that she would no longer be able to control her emotions.
"Sixth Princess, leave the rest to us." The housekeeper walked up with insight.
Qin Yuqing nodded, gently took her hand out, and said softly, "Give me paper and pen, please."
The housekeeper nodded, and the servants quietly brought pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Qin Yuqing picked up the pen and wrote a recipe on the paper, saying, "This is a medicinal meal to nourish the stomach. Just say I left it for him, and he will eat it."
Qin Yuqing handed the prescription to the housekeeper, then left Lu Mansion and returned to the palace accompanied by Chuntao.
Father Lu stood at the head of Lu Jingchuan's bed, looking at his son who usually had a cold face but now had a smile on his face. He sighed with melancholy.
"You, why are you doing this?" Lu's father has always known about Lu Jingchuan's situation. He does not support what Lu Jingchuan does. Even if the emperor trusts Lu Jingchuan, the Lu family is still too dangerous for the emperor.
"Jingchuan, if you want to marry the Sixth Princess, this is not enough." Father Lu sighed again and left the room.
Forget it, let the young people handle their own affairs. It’s time for them, the old guys, to learn to delegate power.
Qin Yuqing leaned on the carriage and looked at the people passing by on the street. For the first time, she had a sense of integration. These people were no longer NPCs in the world.
After returning to the palace, Qin Yuqing waited for the imperial examination results boredly, but he underestimated the speed of ancient people in marking papers.
[Host completes main mission 2: escape.]
[Congratulations to the host for completing all the novice tasks. Please continue to modify the original book plot and complete the system tasks with becoming emperor as the first goal.]
"Oh?" Qin Yuqing was sitting on the swing when she suddenly heard the system's notification. Was this the result of the imperial examination?
"What's the progress bar for the task of modifying the plot?" Qin Yuqing asked casually. At this moment, many things have undergone huge changes compared to the original book.
In the original novel, before or after the imperial examination, the heroine would marry the hero, using this method to achieve her goal of leaving the palace. But now, Qin Yuqing can't even meet the hero, let alone marry him.
[After testing, since the host has not yet come into contact with the original book's male protagonist Yu Bingyan, the progress bar cannot be counted.]
Qin Yuqing: ???
Qin Yuqing: Is it that I don’t want to get involved?
The system pretended to be dead again.
Qin Yuqing sighed, but it was also a useful clue. The modification of the original book's plot probably also included the modification of the relationship with the male protagonist Yu Bingyan.
As for the extent of the modification, since the system has not said anything, just do it to the extreme.
Just go all out and snap it.
【warn! 】
[The host is temporarily unable to kill the original book's male protagonist, Yu Bingyan! If the male protagonist dies at the host's hands, the host will be directly deemed dead! ]
Qin Yuqing: What is it?
However, for the time being, this word is used quite carefully. Qin Yuqing suddenly had a bold idea. If the heroine chooses the hero herself, or directly abandons the hero, then at that time, wouldn't it be...
System: No, is there a possibility? What I mean is that the host should not be so murderous!
The system feels wronged, but the system cannot speak.
At this time, Eunuch Zhang beside His Majesty walked in with a smile in his eyes and brisk steps, and said with a smile.
"I would like to congratulate the Sixth Princess first." Eunuch Zhang's voice was filled with unconcealed joy. "Now follow me to the inner palace."
"Is he going to take part in the palace examination?" Qin Yuqing reacted immediately.
Although the imperial examination process of this era was somewhat different from the one she was familiar with, in the same way, only candidates who had passed the examination could participate in the palace examination, and then the emperor would personally set the questions and finally select the top three candidates.
Eunuch Zhang took brisk little steps ahead, his tone unable to conceal his excitement as he said, "To be honest, Sixth Princess, His Majesty is extremely pleased to learn of your achievements."
Qin Yuqing could sense that Eunuch Zhang was genuinely happy, but she was still concerned about another matter: "Is the ranking of people this time fair?"
Eunuch Zhang looked around, making sure no one was following him, and then said, "This old servant, privately speaking, the Sixth Princess may not be aware that the Crown Prince and the Second Prince are personally supervising this examination. Anyone who detects anything amiss, whether the person transcribing under the guise of a name or the examiner, will be rigorously interrogated."
"So, Sixth Princess, don't worry. The efforts of you and General Xiao Lu have not been in vain."
"That would be the best." Qin Yuqing sneered in his heart. They were the only two people who received the most gifts on Wenshan. But he was also a smart person, otherwise Qin Yuqing would feel bored.
This is the kind of opponent she wants.
Entering the hall, Qin Yuqing saw Li Muyan, who was not surprised, and another person who was a little surprised, Lin Haiyan.
"Your Majesty, your son, pays his respects to you, Father." Qin Yuqing ignored the looks of the two people beside him, walked straight over and stood in the center, saluting neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Well, well, well, you are worthy of being my little six." The emperor could not hide his joy in his words. He waved his hand, and three eunuchs holding new test papers stood in front of Qin Yuqing, Li Muyan and Lin Haiyan respectively.
"You are all talented people of the Great Yin, and I am very happy. However, the imperial examination has always only awarded one first-class place." The emperor's eyes fell on the table in the hall and said, "I wrote this question myself a cup of tea ago. Please, everyone."
Qin Yuqing took a deep breath. The system determined that she had escaped, but she was not satisfied with this. Since she wanted to escape, she would escape higher and farther. Only then would her future be more exciting.
As soon as Qin Yuqing opened the question, he understood what the emperor meant.
Luo River and Chan River are the mother rivers of Dayin, but in recent years, floods have occurred frequently, destroying houses and grain fields. Is there any solution?
When Qin Yuqing saw the title, she thought of the modern Dujiangyan Irrigation System. However, she did not know the specific conditions of the Luo River and the Chan River, and had not conducted any field investigations. But at this moment, she had no other ideas, so she had to draw on the circulation rules of the Dujiangyan bend and the principle of concave erosion and convex siltation.
The time given for the palace examination was not much. Almost at the moment when Qin Yuqing put down his pen, the eunuch announced that the time was up.
The three eunuchs took the test papers and handed them to the emperor for review one by one.
This time, Qin Yuqing was not sure. She only had theoretical knowledge in flood control but no practical experience. She was not as good as Li Muyan and Lin Haiyan. Both of them had some contact with Luo River and Chan River and were more familiar with their geographical conditions than she was.
The emperor read it carefully, circled the test paper with a brush, and sometimes frowned in thought.
The time of nervous waiting passed exceptionally long, and it was not until the emperor put down the pen in his hand that Qin Yuqing realized that he was sweating.
Eunuch Zhang took the emperor's list and announced the rankings.
"First Class: Yongzhou Li Family, Li Muyan."
Li Muyan's face was filled with unconcealable joy. He looked at the others proudly, his eyes full of arrogance.
"Second Class: Lucheng Lin Family, Lin Haiyan."
Although Lin Haiyan had a happy expression on his face, he still thanked him humbly. He looked at Qin Yuqing gently with surprise in his eyes, as if he didn't expect that he had surpassed Qin Yuqing.
"Top three: Beijing Royal Family, Qin Yuqing."
Qin Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that she would be ranked first or second. This test paper was nothing but a piece of paper for her, and the principles used were not created by her. She really didn't deserve it.
"Aruan stays here, everyone else leave first." The emperor looked at Qin Yuqing's test paper and said without looking up, "Come here, come to your father."
Qin Yuqing heard this and walked forward.
"Is this what you think?" The emperor pointed at the paper, his eyes full of inquiry towards Qin Yuqing. Seeing Qin Yuqing about to kneel down, he shook his head and said, "Now we are not king and subject, but father and daughter."
Qin Yuqing thought for a moment, and she recalled that among Chen Cairen's relics, there were books about the rivers of the Great Yin Dynasty, which were filled with handwriting of personal opinions, so she said.
"It was written by my mother, Chen Cairen."
A hint of understanding flashed in the emperor's eyes. He carefully put the paper aside and patted Qin Yuqing on the shoulder.
"Father, do you blame me for not choosing you?"
Qin Yuqing shook his head.
"Your mother is truly worthy of being a young lady from the Baili family. She has unique insights into waterways."
Qin Yuqing was confused for a moment.
Chen Cairen, is she from the Baili family?
ah? ? ?
