Chapter 214: "Hero" Saves the Beauty OR Beauty Saves the "Hero"?
(Thanks to Huanxiquan Huanhua for casting 2 monthly tickets.)
Li Shiyue's face darkened the moment she heard the electronic voice of the system, and her chest began to pound rapidly.
She was just thinking that when the system issues a task, there are usually at least two main characters from the original book present.
For example, the last time at the General's Mansion, the male lead Liu Shu, the male supporting character Liu Tan, and the female supporting character Jiang Huijun, all three characters from the original book, were present.
The last time was when I watched the play "Two Brothers" in a restaurant. All three characters from the original book, plus the female lead Li Chunli, were present.
The time before that was inside the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion, when Li Shiyue kicked Liu Shu and rescued Liu Shu and Shouge'er from under the hooves of a mad horse.
Liu Shu, Liu Tan, and Li Chunli were all present that time.
This time, when Li Shiyue heard Yan Jiuniang say that the person standing at the entrance of Xingsheng Tower was Liu Tan, she wondered if the system would issue a task.
This scumbag system, whose name is "The Making of a Beloved Concubine," revolves around Liu Shu, issuing missions while constantly circling around her.
That's why Li Shiyue's heart raced when she heard Yan Jiuniang say that Liu Shu was at the center of the commotion down there; it was a direct stressor for her.
Getting close to the male protagonist of the original book will never bring good!
However, since Li Shiyue and Yan Jiuniang had been talking for a while and the system in her mind hadn't reacted, Li Shiyue assumed that the "situation trigger" condition could only be met if the male and female leads or the male lead and male supporting character were present.
Yan Jiuniang, being a minor female supporting character, could not fulfill the condition of "situational triggering".
Who knew that the scumbag system would issue a mission now?
Could it be Liu Tan who has arrived?
Or perhaps Li Chunli has arrived?
Alternatively, the essential condition for this "situational trigger" is that two characters from the original book must be present, but it doesn't necessarily have to be a major supporting character. A minor supporting character like Yan Jiuniang can also achieve "situational trigger".
At this moment, Li Shiyue was multitasking. On one hand, she was listening to the task assigned by the scumbag commander, and on the other hand, she was looking downstairs. She looked outwards from Liu Shu, trying to see if it was Liu Tan or Li Chunli who had arrived.
At the same time, she also had to listen attentively to what Yan Jiuniang was saying.
"...Please, host, save the male protagonist Liu Shu from his predicament and dedicate yourself to him until your dying breath."
The criterion for judging the task is the male protagonist's satisfaction level with the host. When the satisfaction level reaches 60%, the task is considered completed, and the user will receive 100 points and one chance to draw a prize.
Please complete the tasks diligently and become a favored concubine as soon as possible!
Li Shiyue listened to the electronic voice of the scumbag leader with a dark face. At the same time, she noticed that a carriage, obviously used by a wealthy family's female relatives, was parked in front of a stall just a few feet away from Liu Tan.
Li Shiyue felt that, judging from the appearance of the carriage, it definitely wasn't Jiang Huijun!
Because Li Shiyue had been sent home by carriage by Jiang Huijun many times, although she had never ridden in Jiang Huijun's carriage, she had seen all the different styles of carriages in the General's Mansion in the stable.
The carriage that was parked motionless had no resemblance to or similarity to anything in the general's mansion.
Moreover, Jiang Huijun came from the Jiang family, which valued both farming and scholarship, and was known for her frugality.
This frugality doesn't mean literally cutting back on food and money, but rather avoiding extravagance and luxury in one's outward appearance.
The carriage that Li Shiyue saw was clearly from a wealthy family; the tassels hanging from the roof were made of very beautiful ribbons.
As for Yan Jiuniang, she sneered sarcastically, "He is so hypocritical at such a young age. He always tries to please his father. In the end, his father only scolded him a little and that was it."
After that, I only went to see him once a year on New Year's Eve, just to show my father how close and affectionate we were as siblings.
Just as Li Shiyue was about to say something to Yan Jiuniang, she heard a sudden commotion downstairs, with many screams rang out.
Li Shiyue turned her head to look and saw that the white-clad girl who had been kneeling on the ground was now covered in blood on her front!
At the girl's feet was the pageboy who had always followed Liu Shu; he was lying face down on the ground, clutching his chest.
Just then, the girl flipped her wrist and a flash of white light appeared!
It's a dagger!
Li Shiyue's angle was perfect; the sunlight shone directly onto one side of the dagger in the girl's hand!
The girl used this dagger to stab the pageboy.
In a flash, Li Shiyue finally understood why the task issued by the scumbag system was: "Rescue the male lead Liu Shu from dire straits, and dedicate yourself to him until your dying breath!"
Because the girl had already stepped over the fallen body of the pageboy and chased after Liu Shu, who was retreating!
She wants to kill Liu Shu!
"Pooh!
Garbage system!
You've insulted the meaning of "dedicating oneself to the cause until death"!
Li Shiyue immediately decided to abandon the mission.
Putting aside the scumbag Liu Shu, even if he wasn't a scumbag and was just an ordinary person, he shouldn't be so quick to "devote himself to the cause until his dying breath"!
What is the most precious thing in the world for each person?
It's life!
If you say you're dedicating yourself to the future of all humanity, that's one thing, but for a scumbag?
What makes you a favored concubine of a generation?
Does one have to not only demean oneself for the sake of others, but also sacrifice one's precious life?
Why should I?
You must be out of your mind to take on this task.
"Hey, wait a minute!"
If I die trying to save that jerk, who will this stupid system ask me to complete my missions with?
Upon realizing this, Li Shiyue's anger subsided. After calming down, she reopened the system's task interface and carefully reviewed the task from beginning to end.
"So, the key is actually the satisfaction level. As long as Liu Shu is satisfied, then the task is considered complete."
As for saving him? Or living for him until death, those are just ways of expressing it.
"Hmm, if that's the case, then this task is worth considering."
All of this happened in Li Shiyue's mind, and it all happened in just a few breaths.
Before she could think about it further, she heard Yan Jiuniang beside her looking terrified.
"ah!
In October, he, Liu Shu, Liu Shu, he…
Yan Jiuniang was already in a panic. She just watched helplessly as the girl rushed over and used all her strength to push the dagger into Liu Shu's lower abdomen!
Even though Yan Jiuniang loathed Liu Shu, she didn't want Liu Shu to die!
In this critical moment, Yan Jiuniang couldn't care about anything else; she turned and ran towards the door.
Li Shiyue stepped forward, grabbed Yan Jiuniang's arm, and pulled her back. She spoke rapidly to Yan Jiuniang's panicked face, "You can't go! I'll go!"
"You stay here and wait for me, I'm coming!"
Li Shiyue placed her hands on Yan Jiuniang's shoulders. Seeing that Yan Jiuniang had calmed down, Li Shiyue nodded to her and then headed for the door.
When Li Shiyue ran downstairs, forcefully pushed through the crowd, and arrived at Liu Shu's side, his clothes were already soaked with blood from the lower abdomen!
A strong smell of blood hit me!
For Li Shiyue, whose five senses were exceptional, this was nothing short of torture.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Liu Shu tried her best to pry the girl's wrist, hoping to stop the girl from stabbing her.
Hearing Li Shiyue's shout, the girl with her back to him didn't turn around and instead stabbed the dagger into Liu Shu's abdomen with even more force.
Although Li Shiyue really wanted Liu Shu to die at the hands of the young girl, he really couldn't let Liu Shu die in front of him right now.
Li Shiyue stepped forward and pulled the girl away from Liu Shu from behind.
Before Liu Shu fainted, she saw Li Shiyue's face.
"ah!
Let me go!
Let me kill him! Kill him!
He deserves to die! He deserves to die!
He deserves to die!
The girl was furious and wildly waved the dagger in her hand, trying to stab Li Shiyue.
How could Li Shiyue allow the girl to do this to him?
She seized the opportunity, reached out and grabbed the girl's wrist, and with a little force, the dagger in the girl's hand fell to the ground.
When the girl saw that her weapon was gone, she opened her mouth and bit Li Shiyue's arm.
Li Shiyue was faster than the girl, and took the initiative to grab the girl's jaw and dislocate it.
It was at this moment that Li Shiyue finally had the energy to shout to the crowd hiding to the side: "What are you all standing there for?"
Report this to the authorities!
"Go report this to the authorities immediately!"
As Li Shiyue shouted to report to the authorities, the sound of clashing weapons could be heard from the outer edge of the crowd.
Li Shiyue turned around and saw that the guards who had been sent far away by Liu Shu had finally arrived.
The leader was an old acquaintance, none other than Zhao Guang'an, the bearded Zhao, whom he had met in Liujiatun last time!
Zhao Guang'an recognized Li Shiyue's face. "Save the Crown Prince first!"
Upon hearing Li Shiyue's words, Zhao Guang'an turned his head and saw Liu Shu lying unconscious in a pool of blood on the ground.
"Your Highness!"
Your Highness!
Your Highness!
Help! Help!
"Find a physician! Save the prince!"
