Chapter 594 The Hidden Story of the Heroine

The system's task reminder came unexpectedly, and Si Linglong was almost stunned on the spot, and even thought she had heard it wrongly.

[What is Wu Shi San… Where did this Wu Shi San come from? ]

[In the original novel, when did Ah Yue take Wu Shi San? This is a completely fictional plot! I don’t accept it! ]

After the initial confusion, anger followed.

Si Linglong had already seen clearly that this so-called system was actually on Bai Qianqian's side.

This plot-correcting mission is bullshit!

Now they have forced in plots that are not in the original novel. For the sake of the heroine Bai Qianqian, this system has simply no bottom line!

[Explain it to me clearly! Why do you want me to do something that doesn't even exist in the original novel?! ]

Perhaps it was because Si Linglong's reaction was unprecedentedly dramatic, even the mechanical system was stuck for a moment, and after a long while, it slowly spoke, and the emotionless mechanical sound seemed to be a few decibels lower.

System: [This is a hidden plot in the original novel, which is a part that exists in the original novel but is not clearly stated.]

[What kind of bullshit hidden plot is this? I don’t even…]

Si Linglong wanted to say that she had no impression at all, but the next second, some logic suddenly came into her mind.

For example, A Yue in the original novel, although his methods were cruel, was far from being a tyrant, just like the A Yue she had just met after traveling through time.

Although he appears to be tyrannical and majestic, he has never actually done anything insane or tyrannical.

At the beginning, A Yue was not only not a foolish ruler, but even a wise one.

The character of A Yue in the book collapsed after he began to fall in love with the heroine. Because he favored Bai Qianqian, he cruelly punished Concubine Quan and made her kneel in the snow for a whole night, causing her to become ill from then on.

In order to celebrate Bai Qianqian's birthday, he insisted on building the Star-Picking Tower despite the empty treasury, which resulted in the failure of disaster relief funds to arrive and public resentment.

Bai Qianqian killed the prince of Liguo for personal grudge. Helian Yue went to war with Liguo to protect Bai Qianqian. When the ministers tried to persuade him to die, Helian Yue gave them poisoned wine, causing the king and his ministers to become estranged.

Later, even though she knew that Bai Qianqian had an affair with Prince Li, she still insisted on making Bai Qianqian the queen, which eventually angered Queen Dowager Sheng to death.

In the original novel, Helian Yue in the later period was full of cruelty and brutality, and was a true tyrant.

This is also why the people applauded after his death and consciously supported Helian Tuo as the new emperor.

Si Linglong also had doubts when she first traveled through time, because the A Yue she met was very different from the tyrant in the later part of the novel. She also thought that this world might not be exactly the same as the world in the book.

But what if…

If A Yue in the book became mentally confused and irritable due to long-term use of Wu Shi San, then everything seems to be explainable.

Wu Shi San is a kind of medicinal powder that can make people feel euphoric but is highly addictive.

Simply put, it is something similar to a big smoke.

The reason why A Yue in the book ended up being despised by everyone was because someone had been secretly giving him Wu Shi San!

Thinking of this logic, Si Linglong felt that her hands and feet were cold, and the guess in her heart became clearer.

[System, in the original novel, was the person who gave A Yue the Five Stones Powder Bai Qianqian? ]

Si Linglong's voice was so cold that it didn't match her usual warmth. However, the system, which was always cold and emotionless, remained silent.

The next second, Si Linglong's cold voice shouted at it.

[Answer my question! Whose system are you?! If you don't want to answer, get out of here now!]

Si Linglong was really angry.

No matter how much she rejected this system in the past, and even when it "punished" her twice, Si Linglong just thought it was bad luck and quietly negotiated with it.

But now, she doesn't want to endure it anymore.

She wanted to know the answer.

Perhaps because it didn't expect Si Linglong's reaction to be so big, the system froze for two seconds before an emotionless mechanical voice answered her question.

System: [In the original novel, the person who gave A Yue the Five Stones Powder was Bai Qianqian.]

After a pause, he added in a low, yet serious, voice, although mechanical.

System: [I am your host system. ]

However, Si Linglong did not notice the subtle change in the tone of the latter sentence of the system. All her thoughts were occupied by the content of the previous sentence of the system.

At this moment, she seemed to understand.

Why is A Yue's taking Wu Shi San a hidden plot in the original novel? Why doesn't the original novel clearly state what happened as a result of Helian Yue taking Wu Shi San?

That's because it is a novel with Bai Qianqian as the heroine.

In the original novel, the heroine is set up as a love-minded novice who embodies truth, goodness and beauty. All the logic and justice in the book lean towards her, so the heroine's vicious thoughts and sinister means must be hidden in the plot and cannot be understood by readers, or require a deep reading to know.

But who reads and analyzes palace fighting stories?

Si Linglong is even more impossible.

After figuring out everything, Si Linglong was filled with only raging anger.

Bai Qianqian, how dare you use something like Wu Shi San to hurt her A Yue!

Thinking of the villain tyrant who was despised by everyone in the later part of the original novel, Si Linglong felt a sharp pain in her chest, and at the same time, the surging anger clamored to be vented.

Si Linglong slowly clenched her cold palms until the protruding blue veins on the back of her hands trembled slightly.

The next second, a chill appeared in her almond-shaped eyes. She turned around abruptly and walked out with great momentum.
