Chapter 468
Wen Xin could also guess that the mastermind behind poisoning her was that group of little bitches from the Liang family.
Tsk, they really know how to surprise me!
I applaud myself for the speed with which I copied the Liang family's property.
but……
Oh dear, she's been poisoned. She's so weak, so heartbroken, so pitiful. How could she possibly have the energy to attend the morning court session?
To be fair, she wasn't deliberately absent from work; she was on sick leave.
Oh, and also, I, weakened by poisoning, need the care and companionship of His Highness the Regent.
Waaaaah...
Wen Xin nestled comfortably in the Regent's arms.
Seeing the young empress snuggle into his arms, the regent assumed she was sad and frightened. He gently stroked her hair, full of pity, and said, "Your Majesty, do not be afraid."
Wen Xin buried her face in his chest, which smelled faintly of pine needles, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Your Highness."
"Your humble servant is here."
"Don't leave me."
No, it won't.
"Your Highness, I'm scared."
The regent instinctively said, "Your humble servant will accompany you."
"Really?"
The little empress tilted her head back, her almond-shaped eyes filled with tears, looking delicate and tender, which softened his heart again and again. All his concerns paled in comparison to his love and affection for her.
The Regent raised his hand and stroked her small face. "Mmm."
The young princess smiled sweetly and nuzzled his palm affectionately, like a little kitten who was very fond of him. "Then Your Highness can't leave me alone in the Chaohuang Palace anymore."
The Regent's eyes flickered, but he couldn't refuse her after all. "Alright."
The little empress hugged him happily, "Your Highness is so kind."
The Regent sighed inwardly and gently patted her shoulder.
...
"Search for me, Commander."
"What are you doing? Commander Zhao, what are you trying to do? This is the Third Princess's palace."
"Get out of my way!"
A troop of imperial guards suddenly stormed into a remote, dilapidated palace within the imperial palace complex.
They roughly pushed aside all the obstacles, as if they wanted to turn the place upside down.
The palace maid was indignant to see that her mistress's bedroom and belongings had been ransacked and went to argue with the leader.
However, Commander Zhao, with a scar on his face, was extremely fierce. He directly shoved aside the palace maids, and his eyes, like those of a hawk, sharply scanned every corner of the palace, as if he would draw his sword and start a massacre at the slightest sign of trouble.
The palace maid, who was still angry, met Commander Zhao's gaze and was filled with fear. She trembled and dared not speak again.
A woman dressed in a blue robe, with a refined and elegant appearance, stepped forward to help the palace maid up.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
The palace maid looked at her mistress with gratitude and infatuation.
The woman's eyes flickered slightly, and she gestured for the girl to stand behind her.
His tone was gentle, but his words were full of accusation, "I wonder what instruction Commander Zhao has come to me for? Have I done something wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Commander Zhao looked at the "woman" and gave a perfunctory fist salute. "His Majesty lost a valuable item and suspects that some thief has entered the palace. He has ordered us to search the entire palace to find the thief. Please forgive any impoliteness, Third Princess."
The Third Princess... Jiang Yanche, the male protagonist of this small world who disguised himself as a woman, sneered inwardly.
Ignore him, turn his palace upside down, and now you want to "forgive" him?
Could these barbaric and rude women be any more perfunctory?
But who told him that he was just a pawn abandoned by the Southern Moon Kingdom and sent here as a hostage?
So what if she has the title of princess? Anyone can still step on her!
Ha, fortunes change every thirty years. Just wait and see. When he becomes the overlord of this world and men rise up to be masters, these barbaric women will be kneeling at his feet, crying and begging for mercy.
Jiang Yanche suppressed his anger and said politely, "I see. Your Majesty's health is indeed too precious to be offended by petty villains."
Commander Zhao's sharp gaze scrutinized the Southern Moon Princess without any attempt to conceal it. He curled the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "It's best that the Third Princess thinks this way. Moreover, it's best for you that my investigation has proven that it has nothing to do with the Third Princess. After all, the Third Princess isn't one of Feng Yuan's people, is she?"
Should he thank her?
Poor maid!
Jiang Yanche was increasingly offended by the rude woman's gaze and mockery, but since he was now under her roof, he could only endure it.
You can try to win her over.
A mechanical voice appeared in Jiang Yanche's mind.
His face twitched, and he communicated telepathically: "System, are you serious?"
This Commander Zhao is a big, burly man, disfigured, and as fierce as a she-devil, with no femininity whatsoever. You want him to sleep with her?
Jiang Yanche almost threw up.
He likes beauties with big breasts, a perky butt, fair skin, and a charming personality!
This is a matriarchal world.
Jiang Yanche felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart. Thinking about all those hormone-fueled, incredibly manly women he had seen these past few days, his lips trembled.
This world where tomboys are everywhere is simply toxic.
Please, how could a grown man like him possibly fall for a woman like that?
Men ruling the world is the right way, and women should dress up beautifully and stay at home to serve men.
Jiang Yanche was once again determined to learn from his predecessors who had traveled through time, to become the world's overlord, to change the world, to set things right, and to make men rise up!
[Hmm, your dream is noble, and the system supports it. But don't forget, you're currently a proton without even freedom. So, you should first think about how to complete the mission.]
Jiang Yanche: "..."
Jiang Yanche's system is a strategy system. He needs to win over the targets selected by the system and obtain 100% of their love value in order to gain points.
The points can unlock the system shop, which has everything. As long as Jiang Yanche has enough points, he can buy a spaceship without any problem.
Of course, the ancient world doesn't need spaceships, but if Jiang Yanche wants to conquer the matriarchal world and become the overlord, he needs the items in the shop to help him.
Of course, there are other ways to earn points besides completing mission objectives, such as... sleeping with the women of this world.
The higher the position and power of the woman he sleeps with, the better the system judges her, and the more points he gets. Of course, it's still far less than the task objectives assigned by the system.
Moreover, Jiang Yanche must complete the system task; otherwise, he will be punished.
The first task the system gave him was to win over Empress Fengyuan.
However, Jiang Yanche has been in Fengyuan for more than two months, and he has not even seen the Empress's hair, let alone the Empress.
Originally, he thought that since they both lived in the palace, he would have many opportunities to meet the Empress.
But reality is often harsh.
First, they heard that the Empress was recuperating from her injuries, then the Liang family had an accident, and no one paid any attention to her, the Princess of Nanyue.
He even doubted whether the Empress knew of his existence.
This has led to his mission progress being indefinitely delayed, so how could Jiang Yanche not be anxious?
