In the blink of an eye, three months have passed, and the New Year is approaching. Snowflakes are falling from the sky, and the entire Beiwu has been transformed into a world covered in silver.
Xia Jingfeng finally arrived at the valley quietly. It had been more than half a month since his last visit. Before he even arrived, the rumbling sound had already reached him.
"Hengyunzhai has just released some new pastries, Wan'er, please try them."
“Father.” Xia Yixin, who had been sitting at the table with her chin in her hand, stood up when she heard the voice.
Although Xia Jingfeng was prepared, he still felt heartbroken when he heard her hoarse voice. He quickly supported his precious daughter, saying, "Your leg is still injured, don't move around."
After she sat down...
He proudly showed her what he had bought.
Most of them are snacks and delicacies from Beiwu, and rose cakes from Kuncheng.
"Thank you, Father. You should try some too." Xia Yixin hadn't been very interested in these things lately, so she only took a few bites before putting them down.
Xia Jingfeng didn't like these things, but he had specially collected them to make her happy, but...
He looked at Xia Yixin, feeling a heavy weight still pressing on his heart.
For the past three months, Xia Yixin has been living as usual since she woke up, except that she no longer smiles and her eyes have lost their light.
Just as he was sighing, he heard Xia Yixin's hoarse voice.
"Father, I want to learn martial arts."
Xia Jingfeng was surprised at first, then nodded, "Okay, okay, no problem, Father will definitely find you the best master!"
Xia Jingfeng was very happy and quickly found a master to teach Xia Yixin martial arts. He felt that his daughter might have come to her senses.
In fact, she did come to a realization.
She felt that the system might be right; those people were just code, and she had taken it too seriously.
She needs to adjust her attitude now, complete her task peacefully, and leave this place.
The system sighed in her mind, "Host, even though you've figured it out, why am I not happy at all?"
Xia Yixin ignored it.
"Is the main plot still that Shen Shaoyang will turn evil and imprison the female lead?"
If so, then Shen Shaoyang cannot be allowed to live.
The system gave her a negative answer: "No, host. Actually, this novel was originally a female protagonist story. The main plot was that the female protagonist would unify the four kingdoms and become an empress. However, because the original author Qi Wen wrote it, the main plot has now been changed to unifying the four kingdoms and bringing peace and prosperity to the country."
"Isn't the female lead supposed to unify the four kingdoms?" Xia Yixin noticed something was wrong.
"Host, you're very perceptive. That's right. Due to the adjustments and changes to the main storyline, the female lead's aura has been affected. Even her personal space is only at 50% capacity. Therefore, the person who will ultimately unify the four kingdoms is no longer her. As for who it will be, you'll have to decide for yourself later. However, the main storyline won't progress for at least five years."
Xia Yixin had a vague feeling that it wouldn't be that simple, but as things stood, there was only so much she could investigate, so she could only take it one step at a time.
"How is the mission progressing?"
"Ding! The second side quest to save the male supporting character has been completed, totaling 4000 points! The second main quest, to help the people of Beiwu live a prosperous life, is 10% complete. Keep it up, host!"
The second main quest also appeared three months ago; it's quite farming-like, and Xia Yixin is quite satisfied with it.
Let's start by improving her physical fitness; she's really fed up with being a weakling.
The next day. In the valley.
Following her master, Xia Yixin began to formally implement physical exercise, health maintenance, and rational medical techniques.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed, and Xia Yixin has made some progress.
Since the splint was removed from her leg, she not only walks with great ease, but her complexion has also improved significantly. Perhaps due to a change in mindset, the little bit of fat she couldn't lose before has started to sag.
She finally began to show signs of becoming petite and slender from her original rounded figure, but the sparkle in her almond-shaped eyes and the small dimples on her lips were rarely seen.
Before we knew it, it was the end of February, and the Spring Festival was just around the corner.
Xia Jingfeng generously granted all the Northern Martial Iron Cavalry a three-day holiday, allowing everyone except those who remained to go home for the festival.
Instantly, the entire territory of Beiwu was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.
Meanwhile, the capital city, which had been renamed the Yushang Dynasty, also began to recover some vitality after more than half a year.
Inside the palace.
The Phoenix Palace and other structures that were burned down were rebuilt on their original sites.
The newly enthroned emperor was only a little over a year old, still an infant in swaddling clothes, knowing nothing except eating, drinking, and defecating.
The court was completely controlled by Minister Lin, who, as a regent, firmly held the reins of government, while the inner palace was naturally under the control of Cao De.
But in reality, all of this was under Qi Yu's secret control. Every few days, pigeons would fly into the palace.
But this time...
For more than three months, Cao De received no news whatsoever, which made him uneasy. He sent people out to secretly investigate what was going on.
Tonight, finally a pigeon flew in from outside the palace.
Cao De comforted the sleeping emperor, took him to the wet nurse, and then eagerly returned to his residence to open the note.
His hands trembled involuntarily after the first glance, and he read it several times to make sure he hadn't made a mistake.
His cloudy old eyes were filled with disbelief, and he murmured frantically, "Impossible, impossible! How could His Majesty be dead... No, no, this can't be true!"
In his panic, he accidentally knocked over the oil lamp, and the tabletop instantly burst into flames.
Cao De hurriedly tried to extinguish the flames with his clothes and hands, but the pain from burning his palms brought him back to his senses.
He stared blankly at his palm, at the half-burnt letter on the table, and suddenly burst into tears, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty! Why didn't this old servant stop you then..."
