The next morning, Yu Ling had mostly tidied herself up, carried the soundly sleeping Liu Molian back to bed, tucked him in, and then went out alone.
He needs to sort out his thoughts.
Although there are no potential threats to my life in this world for the time being, there are no easy victims to help me survive peacefully either; everyone around me is living a miserable life.
Those who are doing well are all the original owner's enemies, and their character settings prevent them from surrendering and enjoying wealth.
After wandering around for a while, Yuling went to check out the mud house she had stayed in when she first arrived. Good heavens, no one was up yet, and the whole place was filled with snoring!
How come these trashy underlings can sleep better than me?
It seems completely unreliable.
If the younger brother doesn't work hard, how can the older brother live a life of idleness?!
The patrolling guards were quite surprised. Although the place was poor, there was little work to do. It was normal for everyone to work during the day, so it was really rare to see someone go out before dawn.
No wonder he's a general, he's so diligent.
Despite the unexpected circumstances, the guards would not interact with the prisoners excessively unless there were special circumstances, in order to prevent anyone from gradually developing selfish motives.
So everyone kept quiet, focused on their posts, and didn't say hello.
The diligent Yu Ling experienced a dramatic emotional journey after walking just a few steps.
He could accept temporary hardship, but he couldn't accept this kind of bottom-class life where he could see the end from the beginning.
I believe the original owner must have felt the same way.
If this continues for too long, and the original owner finds that he can't help the King of Dongli, the prisoners, or even the innocent people who have been incorporated into Beishang, then if he doesn't commit suicide to atone for his sins...
Even if you survive until the end, your character will still crumble!
So, what exactly is the punishment for ruining one's public image?
"It depends on the severity. At best, it will deduct survival points; at worst, the mission will be considered a failure," the system replied proactively.
It's too difficult.
Yu Ling was furious that the biggest culprit who wanted her dead wasn't the protagonist Feng Yi, but the ridiculous character who possessed the original owner.
But despite my anger, the task still needed to be done.
He had to do everything in his power to improve the treatment of the prisoners of Dongli, and then deal with the King of Dongli, a ticking time bomb who could be a hindrance at any moment.
Ugh! Work again, just thinking about it is so annoying. Who's really taking away all the good things in life?
If only someone could do all these tedious and trivial things for me.
……etc.
Yu Ling suddenly thought of something.
Am I such a candidate?
Meanwhile, Liu Molian was sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt a chill.
He curled up, clutching the blanket, and fell into a deep sleep again.
Unlike the tragic life of the villainous general.
The protagonist, Feng Yi, the triumphant general, is experiencing the happiest moment of his life.
Not only did he marry the princess, but he also retained his military power and built his own mansion with the three characters "General's Mansion" on the plaque, which was quite impressive.
He and his newlywed wife were living a blissful life.
"Xin'er, I still can't believe it."
Feng Yi, with a gentle and virtuous woman in his arms, sat in the bridal chamber, enjoying a peaceful and wonderful time. He couldn't help but sigh...
"I really hope we can live a peaceful and smooth life like this. If we can have a son or daughter to bring us joy, then we will truly enjoy the happiness of family life."
“My husband, who was it last night who cried and begged not to have a child, saying that they were afraid I would neglect you because of it?”
Yuan Xin'er covered her face with her sleeve and smiled gently, which made Feng Yi, who had not performed well, blush.
"Well, it's not that I can't bear to see you suffer the pain of ten months of pregnancy, is it? If you like it, just give birth, I can afford to raise it!" Feng Yi's eyes darted around, afraid that his beloved would see his flustered face like that of a young boy.
After some playful banter, they got up and summoned a maid to help them wash and groom. Then, Feng Yi, though clumsy, carefully and meticulously styled Yuan Xin'er's hair. They looked like a happy couple.
"Alas, I have you now, but I wonder when my sister will find a good man like me."
Yuan Xin'er touched her temples, a warm feeling welling up in her heart. She sighed. She was kind by nature and always thought of taking care of the people around her.
"Princess Yanxi is not yet betrothed?" Feng Yi was somewhat surprised.
Logically speaking, although Princess Yan was not as stunningly beautiful as his wife, she was still a charming and beautiful woman, so this shouldn't be the case.
"Yes, my sister dislikes the formalities of the palace and avoids marriage at all costs. Father couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he just let her be."
The differences in their personalities made her unable to understand her sister's thoughts, but Yuan Xin'er was still considerate. She respected any choice her sister made and did not force her to marry down or have her sister take in a son-in-law.
I wonder when my sister will get rid of this habit of leaving the palace without permission. Now that I'm married, there's no one to cover for her anymore.
Yuan Xin'er's headache started again. But Feng Yi pulled her into his arms, smoothed her furrowed brows, and said, "Those are things your father should worry about. You should think more about your husband now..."
There are two sides to the story.
Just as Yuan Xin'er had worried, her sister's marriage brought her an even more painful daily routine of being relentlessly pressured to get married.
Queen Beishang was the persuader.
What do you mean a woman should get married? That it's hard to raise children when you're older? How will you know it's not good if you don't try? It's not that we can't afford to raise a daughter, it's just that we're thinking about her happiness in her old age, and so on.
It was just a few lines repeated over and over, and Yuan Yanxi could practically recite them by heart. She knew her mother was doing it for her own good, but... what she preferred was riding horses, shooting arrows, and traveling through the beautiful scenery of mountains and seas.
Although she was a princess and much luckier than ordinary women, not having to do menial tasks like washing clothes and cooking, she was terrified of this kind of life.
"Sigh! Yanxi, you should grow up eventually..."
The Queen felt that her child was simply reluctant to leave home. She reasoned that if her daughter married, even if it wasn't a marriage to a lower-ranking man, she would still need to build her own princess's residence and be independent. There was no reason for her to live in the palace indefinitely.
"Tomorrow, your father has found a few talented young men for you. Take a look at them first, and if they are not suitable, we will find more."
The Queen spoke earnestly and offered further words of advice.
This touched Yuan Yanxi's heart.
She finally hardened her heart and made a decision.
That is...
She's leaving the palace to clear her head! And escaping the husband selection process!
Getting married? Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Without Yuan Xin'er's help, the news quickly leaked out, and the entire palace was horrified to discover that the eldest princess was missing!
Now, the prisoners who were being held captive in a room in the palace also suffered.
The King of Nanyue looked bewildered and at a loss as he stared at the gate, muttering to himself in confusion.
"...It's lunchtime, where's the food?"
"Who told you to sleep so soundly? Now you don't know, do you?" The King of Dongli replied considerately.
"It seems that the eldest princess of Beishang has gone missing. The entire palace is searching for her, so naturally no one is bringing you food."
Oh? The princess is lost?
But what does this have to do with me?
I'm hungry.
Is anyone going to do something about this?
It's urgent!
