Chapter 051: Traitorous Minister 51
While everyone was talking about their memories of their relatives, Lord Miao had already sat quietly by the side, as if he was used to it.
Upon closer inspection, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was pleased that he had not been bewitched by any evil spell.
but……
Lord Miao looked at Xiao Yan, the only one who remained silent, and a look of deep surprise flashed across his face.
"Why doesn't Master Xiao speak?"
Is it just that Xiao Yan is naturally taciturn, or is he just like him?
Hearing this, Xiao Yan shook his head and said truthfully: "I don't feel anything."
As he spoke, he looked at Yao Niang and said, "Miss Yao, may I have a moment to talk?"
This time, not only Lord Miao was surprised, but Yao Niang was also very surprised, but they still did as they were told.
Lord Miao found a small courtyard for the two of them, and after Xiao Yan's instructions, he dismissed the waiters.
Xiao Yan looked at her for a long moment, then got straight to the point: "Excuse my disrespect, but may I ask if Miss Yao is a man?"
A trace of panic flashed across Yao Niang's face, but she then pretended to be calm, "Why do you say that, Lord Xiao?"
"Brother Yao, do you know the difference between men and women?"
As he said this, Xiao Yan's fingertips seemed to casually brush across her Adam's apple. Yao Niang, oh no, Yao Xiong's expression suddenly changed. Finally, he smiled bitterly and replied, "Master Xiao is indeed a man with a sharp eye. I am indeed a man."
Xiao Yan didn't say anything, but fortunately this Brother Yao was understanding.
According to Brother Yao, he is the son of an important official of the Mi Tu Kingdom. His entire family was harmed by a villain, but he was saved by a loyal servant. He changed his name and came to the border town of the Mi Tu Kingdom. However, his innate buff was too easy to be noticed, so he had to hide his identity as a girl since he was a child and lived with Mu Li. Unexpectedly, the chieftain's son made a big deal out of it.
Brother Yao smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid the traitors have noticed, so Yao took advantage of the situation and came to southern Xinjiang to seek refuge."
"Who is your father?"
Brother Yao hesitated for a long moment, then gritted his teeth and asked, "If I tell the truth, Lord Xiao, can you clear my family's name?"
Xiao Yan did not answer but asked, "Brother Yao, what do you think of Mi Tu? Can it maintain the country for generations to come?"
Xiao Yan's words were meant to ask him whether he wanted to continue staying in the Mi Tu Kingdom, where there were countless corrupt officials and treacherous people, loyal ministers were wronged, and the people were living in misery, or to find another wise leader.
The country of Mi Tu was far more chaotic than theirs. The monarch was like a parasite raising a snake, watching coldly as the princes from all sides fought each other, making the court a mess. He was also extremely fond of pleasure and completely ignored the suffering of the people in order to build the palace.
There are also many widely known satirical stories such as "A Rider in Red Dust Makes the Concubine Smile" and "The Beacon Fire to Trick the Princes". The most terrifying of them is the law similar to the literary inquisition.
The monarch of Mi Tu knew that his actions would make the people of the world dissatisfied, but he was in power. In order to prevent people from scolding him or rebelling, he, under the advice of treacherous ministers, started a literary inquisition, making the people afraid to speak in the streets and rely on sign language at home, for fear that they would violate the law at any time.
We are all smart people, and Brother Yao understands things quickly.
He pondered for a while, then bowed to Xiao Yan, "Cao Yan, son of Cao Qinan, is willing to serve the people of Mi Tu and the wise ruler."
Xiao Yan's expression changed slightly, and he sighed, "Your father was a wise minister, and your mother was even known as a miracle doctor. Unfortunately, the pearl has been covered in dust, and the treatment is not effective."
"Brother Cao, please rest assured. His Majesty is a wise ruler and will never let you make the same mistake again."
Cao Qinan was affiliated with the Ministry of Civil Engineering and was well-known for his water control. Even Emperor Xiaozhi praised him highly, not to mention that his wife was the descendant of Wang Qiu Shui, the descendant of the Medical Saint!
How can one not feel sad that two such talented people died unjustly at the hands of a traitor and a foolish ruler?
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that the incident in southern Xinjiang was just a farce.
It is true that their country is not afraid of the Kingdom of Mi Tu, but there are no winners on the battlefield. Regardless of winning or losing, the people will always suffer.
The people don’t care who the emperor is. They only care about whether the harvest is good this year and whether they can have enough food to eat.
This has nothing to do with national justice or whether one is selfish. It is the limitation of the times, the living standards, and even the limitations of knowledge and vision.
Who has time to talk about feelings when they can’t even get enough to eat?
As the saying goes, when a country prospers, the people suffer; when a country perishes, the people suffer.
Xiao Yan was sighing with emotion when he saw Cao Yan hesitate to speak, as if he had something to say.
"There is nothing that cannot be said to others, so Brother Cao, please speak frankly."
Cao Yan looked a little uneasy and cleared his throat. "When I was disguised as a woman, I overheard a secret. I didn't hear it clearly, so Brother Xiao, please listen to it."
Xiao Yan's expression shifted slightly, pretending not to notice Cao Yan's awkwardness. "Brother Cao, please speak."
Cao Yan recalled: "It was about five years ago. At that time, Cao had not yet settled in the border town. He was in Baihua Tower..."
After listening carefully, Xiao Yan's expression suddenly changed.
According to Cao Yan, someone had set up a trap for their court officials, which was the legendary beauty trap.
This mysterious organization has trained a group of beauties, both male and female, and then transferred them to officials under various pretexts. Now, after so many years, I'm afraid they've become deeply entrenched. Who knows how many people have infiltrated them, and who knows how many have been bribed by them...
No one would have thought that someone would spend so much effort and energy to set up such a big plan!
The first person Xiao Yan suspected was the one who might have faked his death - the royal family of the previous dynasty.
Judging from the schemes set by Jin Changzai, it wasn't impossible. If nothing changed, the final winner might very well be the royal family of the previous dynasty.
As for the Fifth Prince, Xiao Yan felt that he was most likely just a piece of chess in the game. Even if the Fifth Prince ascended the throne, he would definitely be controlled by those people!
At that moment, Xiao Yan didn't have time to think about it and hurriedly packed his bags to return to Beijing.
If what Cao Yan said is true, those people have been infiltrating for so long, I am afraid that even the people around Emperor Xiaozhi may not believe it, so now he can only trust himself!
That night, Xiao Yan changed his clothes and disguised himself, looking completely different from his original appearance. He then left a letter and found an excuse to say goodbye to the others, while Cao Yan and his servants stayed with the imperial envoys.
It took a long time when we set out because there were many people with us, but when we returned, it was much faster because we were alone.
But when he returned to the capital, the city gates were heavily guarded, with patrolling guards passing by from time to time, seemingly looking for or guarding against someone.
Looking from the city gate, there were far fewer people on the street than usual. Most of them walked hurriedly with their heads down and rarely talked to each other. Even the vendors selling goods did not dare to speak loudly, and buying and selling were almost entirely done through gestures.
This is very abnormal!
Xiao Yan was cautious and did not show up in person. He spent a lot of money to buy other people's documents and credentials, which allowed him to sneak into the city.
Afterwards, Xiao Yan disguised himself as an old man with hunched legs and a hunchback. He wore a rough coat that was a bit too short, but it was clean and did not affect the "city appearance". Even the calluses on his hands were disguised perfectly.
Then, Xiao Yan began to beg from door to door.
The capital's regulations prohibited disturbing the "city appearance," but they didn't prohibit begging. As long as the behavior wasn't too obvious, and officials didn't report it or the people didn't investigate, it wasn't considered a violation. Xiao Yan exploited this loophole.
After half a day of begging, Xiao Yan finally got some information from the people.
It seems that a concubine practiced witchcraft with the intention of murdering the emperor, and was discovered by a palace maid, who then reported it.
Originally, the matter would have ended here, but many people were involved, including the Queen Mother, the Empress, the Crown Prince, the Eighth Prince, royal family members and factions, as well as important officials of the previous dynasty such as the Minister of War.
Now these important officials involved in the case have been imprisoned, and the queen has also been exiled to the cold palace.
The common people only thought that this was Emperor Xiaozhi's reckoning, but Xiao Yan clearly saw that something was amiss. Or perhaps it could be said that anyone with even a little political sense would have noticed this anomaly!
The reason is simple. Those involved in the case include people from various parties, even Emperor Xiaozhi himself!
If this were true, one could say that Emperor Xiaozhi was selfless, but now that all the princes who could potentially ascend the throne were involved, what was Emperor Xiaozhi trying to do? Was he trying to catch them all in one fell swoop, leaving no way out for himself?
After Emperor Xiaozhi's death, who will be the emperor of this country? This is simply hurting the enemy a thousand times while hurting yourself eight hundred times!
So the only possibility is that this was not Emperor Xiaozhi's original intention at all! Someone held Emperor Xiaozhi hostage!
Who could have orchestrated such a grand scheme and possessed such immense power? It could only be the royal family of the previous dynasty!
If they wanted to be safe, they could wait a hundred years after Emperor Xiaozhi, or kill him without anyone knowing, then reviving the previous dynasty would not require such a large-scale mobilization.
But now Emperor Xiaozhi has become aware of the previous royal family, and the fifth prince has been abandoned as a chess piece, which also means that the previous royal family can no longer implement this plan.
Now that the royal family of the previous dynasty has appeared and kidnapped Emperor Xiaozhi, although it is a bit reckless, it is not impossible.
Especially since Emperor Xiaozhi and the Empress, as well as their personnel, have been transferred away from Southern Xinjiang! It seems that the Southern Xinjiang incident was probably also a conspiracy of those people!
After realizing this, Xiao Yan changed his disguise and planned to find a way to sneak into the palace. He slipped a note to his younger brother, Xiao Chen, and started to act.
Then……
Then Xiao Yan was not the only one who shared the same idea as him.
It was a dark and windy night. Xiao Yan was dressed as a palace maid, and the makeup on his face made him look more androgynous, just like the legendary pretty eunuch whose gender was difficult to tell.
Then, he felt a gaze passing over his face.
It was that kind of appreciation without any evil thoughts or desires, as if I had seen something beautiful, but sometimes I didn't know what I was thinking and let out an ambiguous laugh.
Xiao Yan: “…”
Well, this person is thin, with a fair face, and she wears makeup and lip balm on her face. Even the holes for the earrings are so blatantly displayed to people.
Xiao Yan: “…”
This familiar trick...
Xiao Yan had a good memory. If he was not mistaken, this person, who was disguised as a eunuch like him, must be Princess Yongfu...
As if she noticed he was looking at her, Princess Yongfu lowered her head suddenly like a frightened little rabbit, trying to cover her ears and steal the bell.
This is just like trying to cover up one's own mistake.
This wasn't the end. Princess Yongfu crossed her arms over her chest, looked at him warily, and said earnestly, "Although I know you're very good-looking, I'm not gay!"
She pondered for a moment and muttered quietly, "There shouldn't be a word like 'gay' in this era. What else is it called? Longyang's love? The style of the cut sleeve? Yes, it's Longyang's love and the style of the cut sleeve!"
Princess Yongfu raised her head, her chin slightly raised, "I don't have a preference for Longyang! Little brother, don't have any hidden thoughts about me! Don't waste your thoughts!"
Xiao Yan: “…”
Xiao Yan nodded indifferently, but he was thinking about how to separate from Princess Yongfu.
It was hard for him not to wonder whether Princess Yongfu's clumsy and superficial disguise would soon be discovered by others and thus implicate him.
Xiao Yan had no idea of recognizing each other at all, because this was very dangerous and he only trusted himself.
Princess Yongfu felt a little relieved when she saw that the other party was no longer paying attention to her. At this moment, she just wanted to hold her head and cry.
Her father went to southern Xinjiang on orders from the emperor, but there was no such thing as the southern Xinjiang incident in the original plot!
Moreover, she had no idea that Emperor Xiaozhi might be held hostage at this moment. She just thought that Emperor Xiaozhi was senile and confused, which was why he did such a thing. Even she could see that this was digging his own grave for the royal family!
When the queen was locked up in the cold palace, the prince was imprisoned in the East Palace, and the eighth prince and other princes and princesses were imprisoned in various palaces and mansions, she was the only princess who escaped the net despite her good fortune but was labeled as simple-minded.
Although this was somewhat humiliating for her, when she heard that other princesses and princes did not have enough food to eat in the palace and were not allowed to move freely, she was just glad that her freedom was not restricted because she was looked down upon.
The palace was heavily guarded, and as a princess, she couldn't enter without a summons. Normally, she could enter with a badge given by the empress, but now, even the empress was imprisoned, wasn't her badge counted?
She sneaked into the palace tonight just to see whether Emperor Xiaozhi was senile or had believed the slander of the treacherous people, and then find the queen to see how to resolve the matter.
If she were to name the woman she admired the most, the first person that came to mind would be the Queen. In her heart, she was almost as wise as a demon.
Princess Yongfu felt that as long as the queen was found, this devastating situation should be able to be reversed.
Of course, this was just the idea Princess Yongfu came up with, relying on her not-so-bright mind.
Fortunately, Princess Yongfu and Xiao Yan both wanted to break away from each other and do things on their own.
Just as the two were about to part, a fire suddenly appeared in front of them, followed by thick smoke, and then the noisy cries of palace servants for help.
If you listen carefully, you should hear him shouting something like "the water is flowing out."
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.
This direction...
Palace of Heavenly Purity!
The Qianqing Palace is where the emperor lives!
Xiao Yan and Princess Yongfu didn't care whether they would be exposed or not, and hurried towards the Qianqing Palace.
When we got closer, we found that in front of the burning Qianqing Palace, there was a group of guards with knives standing, pointing their knives at the palace maids who tried to escape from inside.
The head of the guards was actually a woman dressed in heavy and gorgeous clothes, dressed like a princess!
This woman was born gentle, but at this moment she was filled with astonishing sharpness, like a sword that had been unsheathed, its edge fully exposed.
"Who is she? Why is she in the palace? Where are the guards?"
No matter how dumb Princess Yongfu was, she knew something was wrong when she saw this scene.
Xiao Yan, who was pulled aside for questioning, said: "..."
That’s a good question, he doesn’t know either.
But if he guessed correctly, it should be the late Jin Changzai, who could also be called the princess of the previous dynasty.
Xiao Yan and Princess Yongfu hid in a shadowy corner, watching the former princess with a look of satisfaction on her face, smiling as she watched the raging fire burn, while the guards beside her protected her tightly.
Princess Yongfu was so anxious that she was running around in circles, muttering, "What should I do? What should I do? His Majesty is still in there!"
As soon as the words fell, guards dressed in the same clothes as the group of guards were seen driving a group of officials, as well as princes and princesses who were imprisoned in the palace and the prince and princess mansions, to the front of the blazing fire.
"It's you!?" The queen narrowed her eyes.
The woman turned her head and saw the face she had seen countless times before - the former Concubine Jin, who was also the princess of the previous dynasty: Ning Shu.
Ning Shu's eyes turned slightly, as if she had met an old friend and was reminiscing with him, if she hadn't paid attention to the current scene.
"Empress, are you doing well lately?"
The Queen looked calm and composed. "Thank you for your concern, my sister. I am naturally fine."
Ning Shu never expected that the Queen could remain so calm even though she was now her prisoner. She suddenly felt a little annoyed.
Then, he didn't know what he was thinking about, and laughed out loud: "Oh? The Queen is fine now, but who knows what will happen in the future."
She changed the subject, "However... I have always admired the Empress's way of dealing with people. If the Empress is willing to surrender to me, I am willing to spare your life."
As she spoke, she covered her face with her sleeves in a very exaggerated manner, "I forgot that the Empress is a man of strong character. She will certainly not compromise."
Ning Shu glanced at the Crown Prince, whose face flushed with anger, and said pointedly, "I just wonder if the Empress still remembers her own flesh and blood."
The prince was about to say something when he was stopped by the queen.
"The emperor guards the country's gates, and the king dies for the country!"
The Queen raised her chin slightly, like a proud and cold snow plum blossom, "The Crown Prince can die for his country. This is his honor."
Ning Shu's expression changed slightly when she heard that, and she lost the desire to tease and humiliate him.
"What a king who dies for his country! Since the Queen and the ministers are willing to die for your country, I am willing to leave you this dignity!"
Ning Shu raised her right hand slightly, and a guard presented her with a tray containing a wine jug and wine glasses.
"This is a pot of wine mixed with poison. It has a beautiful name: Emperor's Drunk. After taking it, you will see the person or thing you most want to see, and finally die with a smile on your face."
The queen picked up the wine glass, but it was snatched away by the prince.
Seeing the Queen looking at him in surprise, the Crown Prince smiled gently, "In the past, you, Queen Mother, always protected me. Now, please allow me to be willful one last time."
The prince clenched his wine glass tightly and said, "Please forgive my selfishness and let me walk before you."
After saying this, he raised the wine glass to his mouth, but at this moment, a stone hit the prince's arm.
Oh, no, there are two stones, one stone comes from the west of Xiao Yan, and the other stone comes from the east.
Xiao Yan: “???”
Then, Xiao Yan and the people who were also hiding in the dark stared at each other.
This person is quite unfamiliar, but judging from his technique, he must have been trained for many years.
Looking next to this man, there was also squatting Emperor Xiaozhi, whom he had not seen for a long time, and his younger brother Xiao Chen.
When Xiao Chen saw Xiao Yan, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and glared at him secretly, as if blaming him for taking the risk when it was so dangerous here!
Xiao Yan: “…”
Well, this is the consequence of his image of being too fragile being deeply rooted in people's minds.
The secret movements of the two did not disturb the people present.
At this time, Ning Shu and her guards had been surrounded by Emperor Xiaozhi's men. Just when Ning Shu's men were about to take the queen and the prince as hostages, Xiao Yan, who was hiding in the dark, hit the hand holding the weapon with a stone.
Emperor Xiaozhi's men reacted promptly and captured all the people from the previous dynasty in almost the next second, leaving only Ning Shu.
Ning Shu looked at Emperor Xiaozhi with a complicated expression, without communicating with him, and directly chose to rush into the fire.
Perhaps he was unwilling to talk to this old friend who had complicated emotions.
The human heart is the most uncontrollable thing. Maybe she knew it was impossible, but she had already fallen in love with him. Or maybe she was just acting. Who knows?
All the past grudges and hatreds have now been buried in this fire and turned to ashes.
[Extra]
In the third year of Chenghua, Emperor Xiaozhi, now the Supreme Emperor, was so old that all his teeth had fallen out.
As a retired emperor who suffered from asthma and was often seriously ill, he never thought that he would live so long!
He survived the empress dowager, the queen, and even the crown prince, the eighth prince, and a group of princes and princesses, and saw off a bunch of ministers.
How could an emperor not have the dream of immortality?
When his first tooth became loose and fell out, Emperor Xiaozhi was terrified. He was horrified to find that time had left its mark on him, his wrinkles were getting thicker, his movements were becoming less convenient, and he could no longer review memorials day and night.
At this time, Emperor Xiaozhi began to want to emulate the ancient emperors and seek immortality.
But when this idea first came to mind, his favorite minister, Xiao Yan, who was also the imperial tutor of the new emperor (the son of the prince's son), would always ask the imperial physician to examine him with great concern, and would always have a bunch of big truths that he couldn't convince him to practice the Five Animal Exercises, claiming that this would lead to immortality.
What made him even more upset was that every time Xiao Yan, the traitor, wanted to do something and he disputed it, the familiar rhetoric of immortality would come up.
The current Emperor Xiaozhi has a very heavy psychological shadow when he hears about immortality.
In this way, Emperor Xiaozhi became emperor until he was 101 years old.
One hundred and one years old!
Whose old man, at this age, with back pain, still has to face endless memorials to review and countless political affairs?
Countless times, Emperor Xiaozhi wanted to go on strike and shout wildly, saying that whoever wants to be the emperor can do so, but in the end he was fooled and deceived by the traitor Xiao Yan!
Emperor Xiaozhi was very angry!
Fortunately, when he was 101 years old, the new emperor trained by Xiao Yan himself was finally able to stand on his own, and he was finally relieved.
Perhaps because he was no longer burdened, Emperor Xiaozhi became seriously ill.
This time, Emperor Xiaozhi stopped the palace maids from calling in the imperial physician. Looking at Xiao Yan, who was of the same age but strong and healthy without any signs of old age, he finally couldn't help crying out of grievance, crying like a child.
He really felt wronged. He felt that he was not an emperor but a tool.
Everyone says that Xiao Yan was able to achieve what he had today because the emperor doted on him. Who could have known that the reason he couldn't quit was because Xiao Yan felt that among all the princes and grandchildren, there was no one who met his ideal heir?
Although others would sneer at this idea if it were made public, after all, he was the emperor, and Xiao Yan was just a minister.
But seeing that the living conditions of the people all over the world were getting better and better, Emperor Xiaozhi also knew that this minister, whom he had favored and relied on for many years, really had no selfish motives at all!
Oh, no, there were still selfish motives. For example, every now and then, Xiao Yan would ask his younger brother Xiao Chen: "Do you have the desire to become a treacherous minister today?" Or, "Look at how moving it is to control people's hearts. Do you dare to do it?"
Emperor Xiaozhi didn't know whether Xiao Chen dared to make a move. He only knew that Xiao Yan seemed to be a traitor to his brother and seemed to have some obsession with him.
Xiao Chen, such a good and important official, was so frightened that he almost hid in the poorest place to prove his innocence.
Of course, at this moment, Emperor Xiaozhi tightly grasped the hand of this favorite minister, and on his deathbed, he warned him word by word: "My dear Xiao, let's not meet in the next life!"
Xiao Yan: “…”
The new emperor on the side was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that his great-great-grandfather would say such words to his teacher when he was dying!
This was Xiao Aiqing! The Xiao Aiqing he admired the most!
No, wait, although it’s a bit too unfilial, but now Xiao Aiqing is his Aiqing!
No one expected that after Emperor Xiaozhi passed away, Xiao Yan and his brother chose to retire and return home.
The new emperor tried to persuade him to stay again and again, but was repelled by Xiao Yan's words, "I am already so old, Your Majesty, can't you bear to see me worrying about trivial matters?" and "Your Majesty is now able to stand on his own, do you really need a powerful minister to stay in the court?"
After the rebellion of the previous dynasty was quelled, Emperor Xiaozhi had Cao Yan as his powerful weapon, and the Kingdom of Mi Tu and the neighboring small countries had already surrendered. From then on, the world was unified and the four seas were united.
If he had to worry about a lot of political affairs during the reign of Emperor Xiaozhi, then now during the reign of the new emperor, he no longer has to worry too much about anything.
Moreover, after so many years of training, even if something big happens, the new emperor will be able to deal with and resolve it perfectly with his means and intelligence.
Just like a bird leaving its nest, the court now needs the new emperor to perform and prove himself with his own means. A bird that keeps hiding in the nest will never learn to grow on its own.
After understanding Xiao Yan's intentions, the new emperor did not try to persuade him to stay. Because Xiao Yan wanted to keep a low profile, the new emperor disguised himself and personally escorted Xiao Yan and Xiao Chen to the city gate. Only after the carriage disappeared from sight did the new emperor sigh, and then he began to realize his ambitions.
…
Xiao Chen was only a few years younger than Xiao Yan, but he died earlier than him.
Death did not come unexpectedly. In the end, Xiao Chen finally asked the question he had always wanted to ask but never dared to ask.
His eyes passed through Xiao Yan, as if looking somewhere else, and he asked slowly: "Brother, are you really my brother?"
Xiao Yan's expression was calm. "What do you think?"
The light in Xiao Chen's eyes gradually dimmed, and he was silent for a long time, "You are not."
"My eldest brother, he won't..."
Although his eldest brother was very talented, he wasn't so brilliant that he was almost a demon, nor was he self-taught and more outstanding than the average guardsman...
"Is he okay?"
Xiao Yan stood in front of the bed and said, "Maybe, maybe he is living a good life now, but one thing is true, your elder brother does not blame you."
"After all, he was still thinking about you even after his death and hoped that you would live well."
Tears streamed down Xiao Chen's face. "I'm such a piece of shit... Big Brother is so kind, but I..."
Xiao Yan nodded, "You are indeed a piece of shit, but your elder brother never blamed you."
Perhaps it was selfishness at work, but after hearing this, Xiao Chen felt a little better.
A flash of life came to him. He sat up and drank a sip of water before looking at Xiao Yan. "Thank you."
"Also, may I know who you are?"
Xiao Yan didn't say anything, but first asked the system after returning from vacation -
[Xiao Yan: Can I say this?]
The Protagonist Persuasion System shrugged indifferently.
[System: Yes, why not? He's going to die soon anyway. When he dies, he'll drink Meng Po soup and won't remember anything.]
It would have been fine if the system hadn't said anything, but once it did, Xiao Yan remembered Princess Yongfu, who still remembered modern memories...
After Xiao Yan told this to the system, the system was immediately shocked.
[System: What! There's such a thing? Let me ask...]
[System: Oh, I asked. When this human was reincarnated, it happened to be when Meng Po's wages were suppressed and a collective wage demand occurred. It must be because the position was short-staffed at that time that the process of drinking Meng Po soup was missed.]
[System: However, the results have been announced. Those who didn't drink Meng Po soup will receive some compensation in their next life. For example, they will have better luck than others, or have a photographic memory, etc. The rewards are all randomly drawn.]
Xiao Yan: “…”
Why do I feel it's a bit unreliable...
Recovering his thoughts, Xiao Yan replied to Xiao Chen: "I have the same name as your eldest brother, so you can think of me as your second brother."
After a pause, Xiao Yan continued, "However, my mission has been completed. Are you sure you don't want to reincarnate? If you are any later, Meng Po might have already finished her get off work."
Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment before he realized that he had already flown into the air.
Looking down, his body was leaning on the soft pillow.
He... is dead.
Xiao Chen bowed solemnly to Xiao Yan, then floated away following the instructions.
——This world ends——
