There were no guards in the courtyard. Gu Youan gently pushed open the door. The night was dark. The Fifth Princess was lying peacefully on the bed. Gu Youan and Ye Qingchen glanced at each other.
Ye Qingchen threw out a thin line and hooked it onto the pillar beside the bed. There was no movement around them. Ye Qingchen and Gu Youan slowly stepped into the room. Suddenly, the door behind them slammed shut.
Gu Youan and Ye Qingchen looked at each other in disbelief. The Fifth Princess slowly sat up from the bed. Gu Youan stared at the scene in shock. Time seemed to stand still, and Ye Qingchen remained motionless.
Gu Youan stared at all of this, and the Fifth Princess slowly spoke: "Host, welcome to the Sheng Kingdom chapter."
Gu Youan frowned as she looked at her: "Are you the Fifth Princess or the system?"
"I am the Fifth Princess, and also the system. Your first world mission has failed. Now you will enter the Sheng Kingdom chapter."
Gu Youan strolled up to her and asked, "What happened to me in the past seven years?"
The Fifth Princess shook her head and said, "I am a new system and I don't know about your previous system."
Gu Youan smiled and asked, "Why did you faint?"
"The Fifth Princess's wish is to find out the cause of her mother's death. She made a deal with me, and I am here. You must find the Emperor's Sword as soon as possible!"
The Fifth Princess looked up at her: "Gu Youan, don't tell me you don't want to go back?"
Gu Youan's eyes flickered slightly, and she said, "No, I've always wanted to go back."
The Fifth Princess said, "The first scenario world has ended. The Emperor's Sword is not in Dayong. In order to help you find the Emperor's Sword as soon as possible, the research institute has integrated multiple novels."
Gu Youan looked up at her in disbelief: "What are you talking about?"
The Fifth Princess looked at her with a hint of divinity in her eyes and said, "This is an experiment by the research institute. You are not a test subject. You were just accidentally dragged into this place. You have been here for too long and you have forgotten your goal of finding the Emperor's Sword. The research institute had no choice but to find another way for you."
The Fifth Princess slowly walked towards her, extending her hand. In her hand was a mirror. Gu Youan held the mirror, which had cartoon patterns on it. She had liked these kinds of things since she was a child.
"This is not your home. Don't forget the way back." The old things still carried her scent. Gu Youan pressed the mirror close to her chest.
Seeing his expression, the Fifth Princess slowly said, "Completing the storyline is just a means; finding the Emperor's Sword is the goal. Only when you find it can you go back. You are already fourteen years old. If you get married and have children here, you will be trapped here for the rest of your life. You will be assimilated and become a woman who has given birth to many children. At that time, you will really be unable to go back."
Her voice sounded like a distant call. Gu Youan's eyes flickered, and suddenly she reached out and pulled out a hairpin, pressing it against her neck, saying, "You've left me here. I've lost seven years of memories, and you've been missing for so long. Do you really think I wouldn't dare to resist?"
"What does the Emperor's Sword have to do with me? I was brought into this world by you, so why should I have to do whatever you say?"
Gu Youan flung her away, and the Fifth Princess fell to the ground. The pale moonlight shone on her face. Gu Youan stood up slightly, looked down at her, and said, "Don't give me that other story or mission. You are the system, and I am the host. Your existence is to assist me in completing the mission. Don't misplace yourself."
The fifth princess glared at her, angrily got up from the ground and said, "You dare to hit me? I am the fifth princess of Sheng Kingdom."
Gu Youan smiled contemptuously and said, "The Fifth Princess is willing to sacrifice her body to you in order to find out the truth. The Fifth Princess is not favored in the Sheng Kingdom."
A silver needle hovered in the air. The Fifth Princess was taken aback and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Gu Youan chuckled and said, "This body is very important to you. Even if I kill you, no one will know."
The Fifth Princess shoved her away and said, "You're a madwoman. This is a novel I carefully selected for you. There are no secrets in the world. If you kill me, you will die too. When this world collapses, you will be trapped in a cycle, unable to escape for all eternity, and become an NPC."
Gu Youan looked at her sarcastically and said, "What, isn't this what you wanted to see? You brought me here!"
She stood up shakily and said, "I have nothing, and I don't mind losing everything."
She put the hairpin back in her hair, smiled slightly, a hint of coldness in her smile, and said, "Don't tell me that the princess poisoned herself."
The Fifth Princess lowered her eyes and said, "How did such a madwoman like you end up here this time?"
"Your mission is to find out who murdered Consort Lin. The Emperor's Sword is in Sheng Kingdom. Once you find the Emperor's Sword, you can go back."
She said calmly, "I understand. Now that the princess has recovered, there's no need for her to pretend to be sick. The Empress is very sad."
She pulled Ye Qingchen out slowly, feeling a little dazed. She took out a medicine bottle containing the powder from the pills she had crushed that day.
Ye Qingchen, observing her movements, said, "You were even stronger during those seven years than you are now."
The moonlight shone on the white bottle, making it crystal clear. Gu Youan paused for a moment and said, "You also want me to regain the memory cotton?"
Ye Qingchen said calmly, "I hope you have the ability to protect yourself. The first time I saw you, the Ye family was in a fire, and you saved me. At that time, your swordsmanship was sharp, and your eyes were resolute."
Gu Youan turned around and looked at him, saying, "I'm not sure if I can accept the memories of those years." She wasn't even sure if those years belonged to her or the original owner of the body.
She had longed to regain her memories, and now, by taking these medications, she can recover them.
She looked up at the bright moon in the sky, moonlight filtering through her fingers. She closed her eyes slightly and said, "They say I am from the Emperor's ship, but I have no memory of that place. When I recall the past, how am I supposed to face it?"
“Miss’s concerns are…” Ye Qingchen began slowly.
Gu Youan sighed and said, "I just don't want to face it."
"Qingchen, do you know where the Emperor's Sword is?"
Ye Qingchen's expression shifted slightly as he said, "Does Miss intend to become Empress?"
Gu Youan smiled and said, "If I want to become emperor and unify the world, would you lend me a hand?"
Ye Qingchen knelt on the ground, looked into Gu Youan's eyes, and said, word by word, "This subordinate is willing to become a knife in Miss's hand."
Gu Youan pondered for a moment. If the Emperor's Sword was within the territory of Sheng Kingdom, then only the library would know its whereabouts. The library of Sheng Kingdom collected all kinds of books and rare treasures from all over the world. However, the library was heavily guarded and it was difficult for ordinary people to enter. Gu Youan and Ye Qingchen exchanged a glance, and the two immediately understood each other's thoughts.
She took out the medicine. The only way to save her now was to regain her memories so she could enter the library and find the Emperor's Sword. No matter who it was during those seven years, only she could protect herself.
She tilted her head back, poured the powder from the medicine into her mouth, and suddenly everything went black; she passed out.
Ye Qingchen caught her from behind. A thin mist rose on her forehead and her lips turned white. Ye Qingchen was startled. Sheng Jingche flew down from the roof and struck Ye Qingchen on the shoulder.
Ye Qingchen took a few steps back and looked at Sheng Jingche, asking, "What are you doing?"
Sheng Jingche steadily took Gu Youan from him and said softly, "She needs me now!"
Ye Qingchen sighed, but faced with Sheng Jingche's strength, he dared not say anything more.
Sheng Jingche's head was pressed against Gu Youan's head. He paused for a moment, then looked up and saw Xiao Junqi looking towards the door.
His eyes were dark and unfathomable. Xiao Junqi stepped forward, looked into his eyes, and said, "She has already taken the medicine. Do you want to bear the consequences yourself?"
Just as Ye Qingchen was about to step forward, Xiao Junqi slapped him and said, "This is an internal matter of the Emperor's Ship."
Only by finding Gu Youan's memories can the truth behind those people's deaths be revealed. Only when Gu Youan remembers everything can Dayong and Shengguo coexist peacefully.
The existence of the Emperor's Ship was originally intended to maintain the stability of the world. However, the Xie family persecuted the members of the Emperor's Ship in every way, and the Emperor's Ship of the Great Yong Dynasty was almost destroyed. Jian Nan fell into a deep sleep, Gu You'an sealed his memories and inner strength, and the harem of the Sheng Kingdom was in turmoil.
Ye Qingchen looked at the two figures, pointed his sword at Sheng Jingche, and said, "You were also faking it that day. Everything you did was to make her willingly regain her memories?"
Sheng Jingche did not refute Ye Qingchen's words. Gu Youan had Gu worms in her body. These Gu worms were roaming in her body. The pills were only an aid. Qingyang had set up a restriction in her body. If someone forcibly broke the restriction and forced her to remember, the Gu worms in her body would turn into medicine, temporarily enhancing all her internal strength to protect herself.
The sky was quiet. Sheng Jingche and Xiao Junqi led Gu Youan to a dark room. The two men, whose martial arts were of the same lineage, protected Gu Youan.
Memories flooded back, countless images pouring into her brain. Her meridians were reshaped, and she fell into layers of dreams. Many figures appeared before her eyes—in caves, on the back mountain, in the water. Someone was running ahead, and she followed him. Suddenly, the person turned around, and Gu Youan was startled. This person, whose face she couldn't see clearly in the dream, was actually Sheng Jingche. More people appeared behind Sheng Jingche. A loud bang echoed in the sky, and flames shot into the heavens. Gu Youan fled in panic.
The surrounding environment kept changing. She came to a pond, where her face was reflected in the water, changing unpredictably from the age of seven to fourteen. Gu Youan took two steps back, and Sheng Jingche stood behind him. She looked at him.
Sheng Jingche smiled and said, "Wake up, You'an, I'm sorry!"
Gu Youan suddenly woke up with a start. Sheng Jingche and Xiao Junqi had collapsed in front of her bed. She shook her head, and all her memories came flooding back. She remembered.
She held Sheng Jingche's hand, their inner strength connected, but she could no longer probe Jiannan's memories. A tear fell onto the back of his hand. Sheng Jingche moved his body, raised his head, and said, slightly out of breath, "I'm sorry, he can't come back." He had used up too much inner strength, his body was weak, his eyes were dim, and he said, "I'm sorry, he can't come back."
Tears streamed down her face; she could no longer control her emotions.
Sheng Jingche touched his face and comforted him, "Don't cry, You'an. You are someone everyone wants to protect. Only if you survive will we have hope."
