Only then did Yan Yiming feel the movement under his feet, and the sound of the carriage axle pressing against the ground vibrated in his ears. Yan Yiming lifted the gauze curtain and looked outside. There were mountains and rivers all around, and the halls and pavilions were exquisite, with lush flowers and trees.
You can tell at a glance that this is the scenery of Jiangnan, perhaps Suzhou or perhaps Hangzhou.
The whole body is neither cold nor hot, and one can quickly sense that it is late spring or early summer.
She was the only one in the carriage. The carriage was large and extremely luxurious. It did not have a simple wooden bench like other carriages, but a soft couch large enough for her to rest on. There were snacks and books in a small drawer next to it, and a purple clay teapot was placed steadily on a fixed small table.
This time, the identity is either rich or noble.
But to be honest, there was no need for her to guess, after all, she had the magical little apple by her side.
Little Apple has been lying quietly aside as if it were a chicken since it entered this world again. It dared not say a word unless the host spoke. Finally, when the host slowly turned his gaze to it, it shuddered and straightened its chest, waiting for his fate.
"Tell me, what exactly is this about completing all the lines? How can I get back? What is my identity this time? Where should I go now?"
Little Apple quickly stored a series of questions in her mind and then began to explain them one by one.
"All the lines have been completed, which means that all the stories in the real game have come to an end, so host, you have to stay until the story here comes to an end."
Yan Yiming leaned back on the soft pillow and said, "Hmm," "Continue."
Reaching the end simply means the story is over, but this answer is too general. There are four male protagonists and one female protagonist in the story, so how can it be considered an end?
"Each character has a corresponding ending. It's the same here as in the game. For example, Nangong Xuan's final ending is to rule the world. As long as he can successfully ascend to the throne, he will have reached the end."
"What about the others?"
As for the other people, Xiao Pingguo was a little hesitant again, but in the end she didn't dare to hide it anymore and started to tell the truth.
The biggest hidden thread in the script is Jian Yuyan's identity, an orphan of the previous dynasty, who shoulders the heavy responsibility of restoring the country. According to the original plot, Jian Yuyan finally turned against Nangong Xuan and Jian Yuer, and the former ministers led by Prime Minister Jian launched a palace coup.
But since Nangong Xuan was able to ascend the throne, it means that the restoration of the country failed in the end, but the process was somewhat tortuous.
Prime Minister Jian had been planning for many years. At that time, Jian Yuyan married the daughter of General Wei, who was in charge of the imperial guards. He also used Jian Yuer to win over the two most favored new nobles, Jiang Yi and Shao Jingyu, while the Nangong family was completely kept in the dark. After a palace coup, the emperor, empress and prince were forced to leave Beijing and go to Beiping where Nangong Ye was.
The emperor had already forced the emperor to abdicate, so why did Jian Yuyan fail again? This is where our heroine Jian Yuer comes in handy.
Jian Yu'er's identity changed when she woke up one morning. According to Prime Minister Jian, she became more noble. However, due to the influence of some thoughts, Jian Yu'er's values were very positive. Although she was shocked that Jian Yuyan was actually a prince of the previous dynasty, she still believed that their current behavior was clearly a rebellion.
At that time, Jian Yu'er was the most outstanding part of the whole plot. Although the official exaggerated her brainwashing function, it was indeed Jian Yu'er's credit that Shao Jingyu was able to stop in time.
Jian Yuer cleverly regarded Shao Jingyu as a breakthrough point. She successfully instigated Shao Jingyu to rebel without telling Jian Xiang and Jian Yuyan, and then began to lobby Jiang Yi. However, she was surprised to find that Jiang Yi was actually just acting.
Jiang Yi is indeed the smartest person among all people. When he was won over by Prime Minister Jian, even Prime Minister Jian did not realize that Jiang Yi was actually playing tricks on him from the very beginning.
He realized from the beginning that Jian Xiang's purpose in approaching him was not pure. Later, after gaining Jian Xiang's trust, he learned this shocking secret. He quietly ambushed Jian Xiang's side as a hidden chess piece and became the most important person for Nangong Xuan to finally ascend the throne.
As for Jian Yuyan, Jian Yuyan's desire to restore his country was not actually strong. Later, when he saw the people displaced, he regretted it in his heart, and secretly further disintegrated Jian Xiang's power. Finally, because of Jian Yuer's efforts, he gave up everything, retired from the court, and lived in seclusion in the world.
As for Jian Yuer, Nangong Xuan deliberately spared her life, but all her family members died, and Jian Yuer also disappeared in the end, and no one knew where she went.
Nangong Xuan ascended the throne, Jiang Yi abolished the prime minister and established the cabinet to become the first prime minister, Shao Jingyu's merits and demerits finally offset each other, Jian Yuyan hid himself in the world, and Jian Yuer was never found again.
Yan Yiming guessed the endings of the four male protagonists almost exactly, but he never expected Jian Yuer's ending.
But when you think about it carefully, it seems reasonable.
She was loyal to her country and her people, but she failed to protect her family, and finally she chose to leave.
Such a heroine with great love and righteousness is indeed worthy of being liked by so many people.
"Shao Jingyu has now severed his relationship with the Shao family, and the current emperor has done him a favor, so naturally he will not be used by Prime Minister Jian as in the original plot. Therefore, Shao Jingyu's ending can end naturally. We don't need to worry about Shao Jingyu for the time being. But we must note that without Shao Jingyu as a helper, Prime Minister Jian will definitely look for new helpers. You have to find this secret agent," Xiao Pingguo drew an X on Shao Jingyu in the notebook to exclude him.
Yan Yiming took the pen and circled Jiang Yi, "But Jiang Yi had no contact with the Jian family since Jian Yuer delayed his last meeting with me, and thus missed the opportunity to discover the secret of Jian Xiang's rebellion."
"Smart," Little Apple gave a thumbs up and continued, "Jiang Yi can't know about Prime Minister Jian's rebellion like before, which may prevent Nangong Xuan from ascending the throne smoothly. So what the host has to do is to create an opportunity for Jiang Yi to know about this again, or tell Jiang Yi the secret. The premise is that you have to make Jiang Yi believe you, but the system stipulates that you can't reveal your previous identity."
I won’t be exposed either. If I am exposed, it will be troublesome, especially Jiang Yi. Among these four people, only Jiang Yi gives her a psychological burden.
The last one is Jian Yuyan.
Jian Yuyan lost his lover because of the restoration of the country, and since then he began to refuse the restoration of the country. This made Jian Yuyan wary of Jian Yuyan, fearing that he would fail in the future, and even in extreme cases, he might threaten Jian Yuyan's safety and freedom.
But since he is one of the male protagonists, the system will not let him die so easily, so Jian Yuyan’s plot can be put aside for the time being.
To sum up, the biggest breakthrough point now is still Jiang Yi, which means that the most important thing now is to let Jiang Yi know about this matter, and the rest can be planned slowly.
Now, three years have passed since the last strategy raid. Yan Yiming curiously checked the current status of the protagonists.
Nangong Xuan married a concubine but still had no children. Jiang Yi, Jian Yuyan and Shao Jingyu have not yet married. What surprised her the most but also made sense was Jian Yuer.
Jian Yuer is over 20 years old but still unmarried, which is what people call an old maid. However, it makes sense because she is the heroine after all, and she had never been married in the original game.
The only difference from the past is that because of the sudden appearance of a female general, His Majesty began to pay attention to the matter of women serving as officials. Several women entered the palace to serve as female officials, among whom was Jian Yuer.
"Everything is a chain reaction caused by you, the host," Little Apple sighed.
"It's a good thing to pay attention to women serving as officials, it's very good," Yan Yiming said. He felt a little uncomfortable sitting so he simply lay down and continued to ask the next question, "So what is your current identity? Oh, find a mirror, I want to see how the face I pinched this time looks like."
Little Apple conjured up a mirror out of thin air and said, "Host, you entered the system too quickly this time. The system didn't have time to pinch your face, so it used your own face directly. However, it's not you who appears, but a combination of data. To be more precise, your data was used to pinch your face."
Yan Yiming was born with a pair of extremely beautiful phoenix eyes, which were completely opposite to Jian Yuer's but no less beautiful than her. He had the most flamboyant and bright appearance, and a tiny red mole at the end of his eye added a bit of charm.
At this moment, with her hair in splendid clothes, she looked somewhat different from her original appearance. Yan Yiming comforted himself that it was probably because he had been using his other faces for a while and was not used to his original facial features.
"What about his status? I see that the carriage is even more glittering than the one used to belong to Duke Dingguo's Mansion. So it should be no less important than his status back then?"
"Of course!"
Little Apple said proudly, "Host, your identity this time is the daughter of King Jiangxia. She is a princess, so of course she is different from ordinary people."
"King Jiangxia?"
"Prince Jiangxia was the only prince of a different surname who was appointed by the emperor himself. He was ordered to garrison Guangdong and Guangxi. However, Prince Jiangxia's hidden identity is another great helper that Prime Minister Jian secretly colluded with. Now there are still two years before Prime Minister Jian takes action. Prince Jiangxia is preparing to send someone to the capital to help Prime Minister Jian under the pretext of marrying his daughter."
"Marry your daughter? Marry me? Marry whom?"
"Of course it's the most honorable Crown Prince! Nangong Xuan doesn't even have a wife yet!"
Oh my god, Yan Yiming rarely uttered a word from his hometown dialect. It could be anyone, why did it have to be Nangong Xuan? And Yan Yiming reacted.
"If he is a hidden villain, how could he marry his own daughter to Nangong Xuan?"
"Hahaha, the host is smart, so marrying off the daughter is just an excuse. This princess actually wants to go to Prime Minister Jian to inform him and help him. Prime Minister Jian agreed that when Jian Yuyan succeeds to the throne, he will let the princess marry Jian Yuyan. So in name, she is marrying Nangong Xuan, but in fact, she is going for Jian Yuyan."
That makes sense, Yan Yiming nodded.
So now that I have become the princess, the responsibility of establishing friendly relations between the two sides falls on me.
Very good, this identity is really very good.
It is incredibly convenient whether it is to gain the trust of both parties or to sabotage them.
This stop is Hangzhou. I heard that His Majesty specially sent important officials to pick him up to show his importance to King Jiangxia.
The carriage slowly approached an exquisite villa and stopped. A maid whispered outside the window that they had arrived. Yan Yiming took the veil and tied it on. He heard that Lord Chen, who was responsible for escorting him, was talking to someone not far away.
The man's voice was clear and pleasant. Yan Yiming felt that it sounded familiar. After getting off the carriage, he looked up and saw that the man was wearing court robes of different shades of purple. It was obvious that he was above the third rank. His tall figure looked even more noble in the morning light.
Yan Yiming was startled when he saw the familiar yet slightly changed eyebrows. Jiang Yi's eyes fell on her, and his handsome eyebrows revealed an official smile.
"I have been ordered to welcome the princess to the capital. I am honored to meet you."
