She lowered her eyelids, stroked the little goose, and sighed softly.
[In the past, I only thought that it wouldn't matter if I took his throne. I could make him the Imperial Consort and pamper him for the rest of his life...]
[But now that I really care about him, I suddenly feel how cruel this is to him.]
I had taken away his kingdom and his ancestral heritage. He had nothing left. Would he still care for the little love and affection I gave him? To him, that wasn't love; it was charity.
He is an emperor who controls the entire world. He has an innate sense of pride. I don't think he would allow himself to become the canary in my cage.
She slowly turned her head and looked out the window.
If that day ever comes, he, who destroyed our ancestors' legacy with his own hands, will probably try every possible means to perish with me, right?
The system became anxious when it heard these words!
The host is going to be passive and lazy again!
It turns out that love is not a good thing, it is poison!
It hurriedly said, "Host, don't you want to do the mission again? No, if you don't do the mission, we will both die!"
Zhu Wuhuan shook his head and smiled, "I'm not going to skip the mission. I don't want to be killed by the main system yet. I just saw the tyrant's love for his family and his tolerance for the little goose, and suddenly I felt sorry for him. Then, the power of love gave me a flash of inspiration, and I came up with a solution that would satisfy both parties."
The system was terrified. [Host, you just suddenly had so many emotions, it scared me to death!]
It hurriedly urged, "Host, please tell me quickly, what good ideas have you come up with?"
Zhu Wuhuan said, "I need to stay alive to complete my mission, but I can't bear to seize the tyrant's ancestral heritage. Do you think this is a dead end? Actually, it's not. I've found a way out—if I can't seize his kingdom, I can conquer another one and then trade it with him!"
The system was stunned.
It seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand.
Zhu Wuhuan continued speaking.
"It's simple. We don't need to fight with the tyrant for a small piece of land in Daning. There's no need to steal other people's things. We can look further afield, such as the territories across the sea."
[In later times, it is very difficult to conquer a country, but a thousand years ago, it was very easy.]
[I can use your power to purchase blueprints, build ships, and vigorously develop the navy. Then, I can send the loyal Zhu family out to sea to conquer some of the territories across the sea and make them my kingdom.]
[By the time I have my own kingdom overseas, will I be qualified to negotiate with the tyrant?]
I can tell him that I love him, so I can't bear to fight him to the death. I am willing to exchange the overseas kingdom for fifteen years of being the queen.
[As long as he agrees to abdicate, I will give my overseas kingdom to my son when I abdicate in fifteen years. It will become his kingdom.]
"Look, isn't my son his son? The empire my son controls is also the empire of their Feng family. If he abdicates fifteen years early, his ancestral legacy will double and span the entire sea. How could he refuse?"
After listening to Zhu Wuhuan's words, the system finally understood.
It turns out this is a way to have the best of both worlds!
However, this method is the best of both worlds for the tyrant, but not for the host.
It is somewhat unworthy of the host.
It muttered, "Then, host, aren't you at a huge disadvantage? You've devoted all your energy to developing overseas power, toiling away for years, only to end up handing over your overseas kingdom to a tyrant. Isn't that a huge loss?"
Zhu Wuhuan laughed at it, "Are you stupid? How could I hand over my overseas kingdom to a tyrant? When I conquered the overseas kingdom, he abdicated and made me empress! He's not even the emperor of Daning anymore, so how can he take over my overseas kingdom? He can't. And when I abdicate after being empress for over a decade, the overseas kingdom I conquered will be given to my son, not to the tyrant."
She looked down at her belly, her face full of tenderness. "So, in the final analysis, this little guy is the one who got the best deal. His father gave him the kingdom of Daning, and I gave him my overseas kingdom. He got these two kingdoms for free. He's the winner."
After hearing what the host said, the system felt relieved.
Yes.
Even if the overseas kingdom conquered by the host is finally merged with the Da Ning Dynasty, the one who will benefit is the host's son, not the tyrant.
The poor tyrant abdicated long ago. He could not enjoy anything and could only watch his son enjoy it.
Thinking of this, the system is happy.
It said excitedly, "When would you like the Zhu family to develop a navy? The system marketplace has diagrams and construction procedures for various large ships from later generations. You can exchange them for them by completing a few more tasks!"
Zhu Wuhuan said, "Wait another month. My father has just returned from the border, and the capital is in the spotlight right now. If we ask the Zhu family to leave the capital quietly now, it might attract the attention of those with ulterior motives, who might accuse the Zhu family of rebellion. Once the Zhu family's scandal has died down, we can let them go to Lingnan."
After a pause, she added, "Besides, I still need to spend some time to persuade my father about this matter. He may not be willing to do it right away."
The system thought about it and went back to playing its own game happily.
If the host is reliable, there is no need for it to keep an eye on it all the time!
Zhu Wuhuan ended the conversation with the system, then stood up and walked to the window.
She looked at the mountains in the distance and curled her lips.
Overseas Kingdoms...
If her tyrant remained so kind and still worthy of her love even after a few years, then she could negotiate with him peacefully and merge the overseas kingdom with the Daning Kingdom as a great gift to him.
But if he is no longer worthy of her love, then this overseas kingdom will be her trump card!
She has the power to fight him, she can chop off his head, take away his kingdom, and make him pay a heavy price for his betrayal!
As a woman who traveled through time from the 21st century, she would always keep a clear head. Even though she was favored by a tyrant now, she would not completely depend on him and become his dodder.
She will develop her own strength. Even if he changes his mind one day, he will never be able to send her to the cold palace. She can domineeringly abandon his identity as queen, transform herself, and march to the city as empress!
...Not far from the side hall, Feng Changye stood quietly.
He had just left to take a cold shower. However, when he came out, he saw that damned little rubbish Unisan!
He wanted to see if Unisan had any ill intentions towards the queen, so he went back.
Who would have thought that when he came back and got closer to the queen, he would hear the conversation between the queen and the system.
Those words really moved and excited him, and made his fingers tremble uncontrollably!
He suddenly wanted to rush in and hug his good queen!
