Chapter 490: Feudal Superstition is Unacceptable
Yi Zhen shook the fishing rod in his hand and said, "I heard that the girl was snatched back from the palace by His Majesty, and from then on she was the darling of all the six harems."
Chu Liuzheng nodded: "Absolutely correct."
Yi Zhen looked at her and said, "I don't think you're being reluctant at all. Could it be that you're playing hard to get?"
Chu Liuzheng: "Yeah, you are right."
Yi Zhen: "..."
He took a deep breath and thought to himself, why doesn't this person play by the rules?
"It is said that this girl is the reincarnation of a fox spirit, a scourge to the nation."
[You are the enchantress, your whole family is enchantresses! ]
Chu Liuzheng turned to look at him, "Lord Yi, after the founding of the country, spirits are not allowed to become. Feudal superstition is unacceptable."
Yi Zhen:! ! !
[System, system!! My intuition was right, she is indeed a tasker. Check to see if she was sent by the rival company to cause trouble!]
[Not a tasker? She has nothing to do with the rival company, so what's her situation?]
[Lucky soul traveler. Holy crap! After all this time on this quest, I actually ran into a living traveler!]
[Right, right, right. Don't rush to draw conclusions. Let's check the code first.]
He coughed and said seriously, "Palace Jade Wine."
"..." Chu Liuzheng replied expressionlessly, "One hundred and eighty per cup."
[Tongzi!! The code matched, she really is it!]
Chu Liuzheng quietly rubbed his ears which were numbed by the shock.
Is it necessary to be so excited? Look how calm she is.
She turned around and asked Chen Xing to make two cups of scented tea, as she was thirsty from eating apricots.
Chen Xing glanced at the two of them and left.
After his excitement subsided, Yi Zhen asked, "When did you come?"
Chu Liuzheng asked back: "When did you come?"
Yizhen: "Seven years ago."
Chu Liuzheng: "I was born here."
Yizhen looked at her sympathetically: "With nothing, life must be tough, right?"
Chu Liuzheng replied: "Not bad."
She was reborn in Bai's belly. After she was born, she forgot all her memories of her previous life until she was four years old. By then, she had completely adapted to ancient life and did not find it difficult. At most, she would occasionally miss the convenience of her previous life.
Yi Zhen asked again: "Have you ever thought about going back?"
"I can't go back." Chu Liuzheng said vaguely, "It's all burned."
Her body was burned to ashes by the wildfire, okay? Go back and be a ghost?
"It's not that there is no solution." Yi Zhen knocked on the system.
[Tong, can I take one more person with me when I go back? ]
[Yes! Tong, you're so awesome... Shit! One hundred million points, I'd have to work for four hundred years for nothing, and still have to pay interest, why don't you just go and rob them?]
You capitalist!
After a passionate exchange of insults with the system, Yi Zhen's eyebrows drooped in frustration, and he said to Chu Liuzheng, "Sorry, my method doesn't work."
Chu Liuzheng suppressed a smile and waved his hand: "Thank you for your kindness, but my family and friends are all here, I don't plan to go back."
"Oh." Yi Zhen rubbed his nose, "You are quite open-minded."
"Just go with the flow. Life doesn't change anywhere, so why make things difficult for yourself?" Chu Liuzheng smiled and raised his arm upwards. A three-pound carp jumped out of the water, bending its tail and shaking off a pool of raindrops.
Yi Zhen held the fishing rod and clapped his hands, showing great support.
Chu Liuzheng took the fish off with a handkerchief and put it in the bucket. He nodded at him and said, "Here, it's for you. Just tell the imperial kitchen how to eat it."
"Thank you very much." Yi Zhen didn't shy away from her. He smiled and took the fish, helping Chu Liuzheng put the bait on the hook. In his mind, the system kept urging him, more aggressive than a debt collector.
[I know, I know. Please hurry up! I'll ask right away!]
After Chu Liuzheng sat down again, Yi Zhen raised his finger and pointed at his head, whispering, "I looked at the world line before I came here, and you weren't in it. I originally suspected that you were from a rival company trying to sabotage me, so I came here today specifically to test you."
Chu Liuzheng looked at him with mixed feelings: "You told me so much, aren't you afraid that I will do something bad to you?" They are not familiar with each other!
"I'm not afraid." Yi Zhen didn't care. "At worst, I'll die. The system can just take me back." Anyway, the mission in this world cannot be completed, so he just treats it as a vacation.
"System?" Chu Liuzheng looked at him, feigning surprise. "You have a system?"
"Eh? You're a time traveler, you can hear me." Yi was a little surprised. "When I mentioned the system to others, they all thought I wanted to eat buns."
[Not only can I hear the system, I can also hear you talking to the system.]
[However, it's the same system, why is mine like a dead thing, only allowing me to browse gossip, while Yi Xiaoyao's is so smart? Is this the difference between free and paid?]
Chu Liuzheng was thinking about all sorts of things while he said, "If there is a system, you won't have to do any more tasks, right?"
"Yes, I have to work for the company to pay off the debt." Yi Zhen held his chin and sighed, "It's not easy for workers."
Chu Liuzheng, a former worker who currently works part-time, can empathize with this point very well.
At this time, Chen Xing came back with two cups of scented tea. Chu Liuzheng handed one cup to Yi Zhen as a comfort.
Yi Zhen took it and whispered, "My mission is to be the savior, to kill the tyrant, to end the chaos, and to save the people from dire straits. But I've been here for seven years, and apart from slipping notes to the tyrant, I haven't accomplished anything. Now even the villain Yin Lanci who instigated the chaos is dead, and Qianchi Cliff is destroyed. This world can no longer be in chaos."
He spoke so recklessly that Chu Liuzheng was so frightened that he wanted to cover his mouth.
There are indigenous people here!
"It's okay, the system will take care of it." Yi Zhen waved his hand. "They will only hear me discussing local delicacies with you."
【Having an intelligent system gives you confidence.】
Chu Liuzheng was a little envious and asked, "Since you know the world line, can't you find a royal member who won't become a tyrant and slip the note in?"
"No." Yi Zhen said, "The tyrant is the starting point of everything. If Xiao Jingfan cannot ascend the throne, this world will collapse even faster."
[It turns out that Jingfan is a child of destiny.]
Yi Zhen said seriously: "I have some questions, I hope you can answer them for me."
Chu Liuzheng nodded: "Ask."
Yi Zhen said: "Why did the emperor suddenly run to save the eldest princess?" In the world line, the eldest princess Xiao Jinshu should have died as a result of the conspiracy in the harem.
"Uh..." Chu Liuzheng looked up at the sky and recalled, "It should be that His Majesty received the information passed on by the secret guards and learned that Qin Lang was unfaithful to the princess."
Yi Zhen frowned and asked, "Which secret guard?"
Chu Liuzheng shook her head. She just saw that it was the secret guard who sent the message. She didn't know who it was because so much time had passed and she was too lazy to look it up.
Seeing that she didn't know, Yi Zhen changed the question: "Why did the emperor summon King Xiao to Beijing?" In the world line, King Xiao should have died because of the emperor's suspicion.
Chu Liuzheng continued to recall, "His Majesty discovered that Prince Xiao and the former Minister of Revenue were secretly communicating. Upon investigation, he discovered that the two were discussing tax reforms. He then summoned Prince Xiao to the capital to work on the matter."
Yi Zhen: "According to the original world line, this matter would have been revealed by someone after King Xiao's death. When the emperor found out, he was so angry that he vomited blood."
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
This is completely off base. I remember the tyrant never doubting King Xiao after learning about this.
