She had heard this notification sound ten years ago, indicating that she only had a 50% chance of having the female lead's halo, but she didn't take it seriously at the time.
But now, after these ten years, she is afraid.
Whoosh!
An arrow was shot over.
"ah!"
A short scream rang out from the forest. Shen Ruyu, who had lost her protagonist aura, was shot through the shoulder and fell to the ground, her body covered in dirt.
Shen Ruyu clutched her shoulder, staring in horror at the young boy who emerged from the shadows. He was dressed in a black dragon robe, exuding an imposing aura. He still had Qi Lin's face, but something seemed different about him.
"Who are you!?"
"Who I am is not important. What's important is Shen Ruyu. You should hand over what doesn't belong to you to me."
Shen Ruyu immediately realized something and tried to enter her personal space in fright, but she was horrified to find that she could not enter.
Xia Mingyu slowly and deliberately removed the human skin mask from his face.
It was a youthful yet handsome face, but to Shen Ruyu it was nothing but a stranger.
He looked like he was eight or nine years old, but his eyes were more terrifying than those of an adult. She felt like she was a dead person in his eyes.
run!
This was Shen Ruyu's first thought.
Unfortunately, before she could get up, she was shocked to see that the boy simply raised his hand, and a golden spiritual energy wrapped around her wrists and ankles.
She looked at him in terror. "No, don't kill me! I really don't know what you're talking about!"
The boy suddenly pulled out a dagger and walked towards her.
"No, no, don't!!"
Xia Mingyu wanted the "thing beyond the mundane world," which was the crystal hidden in Shen Ruyu's personal space. Of course, he didn't actually crack open Shen Ruyu's head; he just made a show to scare her, since this woman had once injured his mother.
Having lost her spatial dimension, Shen Ruyu's soul also dissipated. Of course, this refers to the transmigrator Shen Ruyu. Shen Ruyu's original soul was squeezed into a corner, but now she can regain full control. However, she will not remember what happened in the past ten years.
After dealing with the situation, Xia Mingyu had his waiting subordinates take the two away. Even for Xia Yixin's safety, he couldn't let them fall into the hands of the Eastern Depot.
As for how Shen Shaoyang will decide, Xia Mingyu will talk to him after he wakes up.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
The scattered Allied troops, who had finally managed to escape the canyon, were captured by the Yushang soldiers who arrived shortly afterward, bringing the chaos of the night to a complete end.
Tonight's events were mostly part of Xia Mingyu's plan. What Xia Yixin didn't know was that Xia Mingyu had inherited a portion of Lu Yan's abilities, including the Bai family bloodline and golden spiritual power. He could view the main storyline of this plane and her mission progress, etc.
Because of his existence, this originally dangerous punishment plane underwent subtle changes. For example, the male supporting character that Xia Yixin was supposed to help was actually the puppet emperor Qi Lin, but because the key point that triggered the mission, [Qi Lin's poisoning], was changed, the overall plot also changed.
Like the butterfly effect, Xia Yixin's final target became Cao Anmin, which was exactly what Xia Mingyu wanted.
The reason why the female protagonist in the original novel was able to keep courting death so smoothly was because of Xia Mingyu's guidance. His goal was to clear away the obstacles in front of her mentally challenged parents before they could reunite.
Unexpectedly, he still miscalculated one step.
Just
As Xia Mingyu rode his white steed back, he suddenly heard a subordinate report—"The Eastern Depot's Chief Supervisor, Lord Cao, is seriously injured, and 'Madam Li' is also unconscious!"
Xia Mingyu's heart skipped a beat, and he spurred his horse back as fast as he could.
Fortunately, Xia Yixin was still alive despite her serious injuries. Even the imperial physicians couldn't believe that such a mortal body with little internal strength could survive being hit by so many stones.
Ultimately, everything can only be attributed to "divine will".
After learning of the rebellion, Lin Sikong and Cao De, upon regaining their senses, were filled with lingering fear, while the officials in the court felt as if a knife was hanging over their necks.
Fortunately, after this rebellion, the puppet emperor seemed to have suddenly matured, and he did not punish them. He even decided to keep the news of Shen Ruyu's involvement a secret, only saying that the Imperial Noble Consort had gone into seclusion again.
This time, I'm afraid he'll never come out again.
Shen Shaoyang and his cronies will be beheaded and their heads displayed to the public three months after the trial concludes.
Cao De took responsibility for everything concerning Xia Mingyu, claiming that one of his retainers, Mingyu, had noticed something amiss earlier and had disguised himself to replace the young emperor.
Cao Anmin felt something was wrong, but after he recovered from his injuries and met this "Mingyu," he felt that the man looked familiar. In addition, with Cao De's testimony and his clean background, he temporarily believed Cao De's words.
This way.
Xia Yixin was bedridden for more than half a month before she could get up. Although she was only hit a few times this time, her internal strength was insufficient, and many of her internal organs were affected. Her back was covered in blood and flesh. Fortunately, she had the white jade ointment and the pills she had refined before.
After half a month of recuperation, the wounds on her back had scabbed over, but the bruises still looked terrible. She couldn't travel for long periods of time and would need to take medicine for another six months to fully recover, but this was already a close call.
In the past two weeks, although she had moved out of the Governor's Mansion, the entire Yue Lai Lou was now guarded by people from the Eastern Depot, and not even a fly could get in. Chunlan, who used to serve her, also came over, and it was as if she had made Yue Lai Lou her second Governor's Mansion.
Yingqi and the others felt extremely guilty because they hadn't protected her properly before, and they all came to her to apologize.
