Chapter 354: Don’t be so stubborn when your face looks so bad
The system's voice rang out in her mind: "Host, you are so anxious to find a wife for your eldest brother. Are you ready to accept the advice this system has given you? This system has given you the best advice."
A trace of worry flashed in Lan Xiyue's eyes. "System, if it's really as you said, and I kill that bastard emperor and pretend to be Mo Liyuan to ascend the throne, what will happen to Mo Liyuan? What if the truth comes out later? Will my eldest brother... and Duoduo be implicated?"
The system snorted coldly, its tone carrying a hint of indifference: "Host, you humans are always so worried. Why not be a little more selfish? Think about it, if you complete the mission, you will gain endless points, break free from your constraints, and soar freely in this world. If Mo Liyuan doesn't forgive you, you can just change your identity and start over. Wouldn't that make you live a more carefree life?"
Lan Xiyue smiled bitterly: "Although I am not from this world, I have been with them for a long time and have already developed a deep affection for them."
System: "That's not difficult. There's an amnesia pill in the mall. After taking it, your memories of your time travel will disappear, and you won't have to worry about these emotions anymore."
Lan Xiyue's mind drifted to Mo Liyuan's image upon hearing this. His tall figure, his deep eyes, and every moment they'd shared together. She remained silent for a long moment before slowly speaking, "System, perhaps things aren't as bad as I think. Mo Liyuan is incredibly powerful, and even if things get out of hand, he should be able to resolve them."
System: "That's right, host, you should think positively."
Lan Xiyue took a deep breath, her eyes gleaming with determination. "Alright! System, it's just as you said. After the wedding, I will pretend to be Mo Liyuan, lead the troops to quell the rebellion, and then return to the capital to kill that bastard emperor! And ascend the throne!"
System: "Master, there are disguise pills in the mall. After taking them for a month, your appearance and figure will change. You will look and sound exactly like the person you want to be. However, there is no antidote. You will have to wait a month for the effects of the pills to wear off before you can return to your original appearance."
Lan Xiyue said "hmm", "Okay, got it."
The sun shines on the sparkling lake, and an exquisite cruise ship floats leisurely in the center of the lake.
The boat slowly stopped. Chu Xia leaned against the side of the boat, her eyes sweeping across the empty lake. She murmured softly, "There aren't many people here today. They must have gone to watch the fun."
Chuchun nodded slightly upon hearing this and agreed, "Yes, Princess Linchuan has been married in Saibei for several years, and this is her first time back. The capital must have been bustling with people, with the streets deserted."
Lan Xiyue's gaze penetrated the nearby cruise ship, and she pondered silently. Those secret guards on the cruise ship were undoubtedly sent by Mo Liyuan to protect her safety. A faint smile curved her lips, but a sharp edge lurked within her heart.
Suddenly, there was a slight movement under the lake, and Lan Xiyue's eyes narrowed suddenly.
She thought to herself, "Do you really think I don't have a temper? Are you here to kill me again?"
Lan Xiyue's mind moved, and several silver needles appeared in her hand instantly, flashing with cold light, and she threw them suddenly into the lake.
At the same time, several men in black suddenly appeared on the lake. They were agile and quickly boarded the cruise ship. Seeing this, Lan Shenye on the deck immediately protected Qian Duoduo behind him and looked at the cabin nervously.
"Yueyue!" Lan Shenye's voice was filled with anxiety and worry.
While Lan Xiyue was struggling with the man in black, she said, "Brother, I'm fine. Please protect me."
Lan Shenye felt relieved after hearing this. He protected Qian Duoduo and while dealing with the man in black, he glanced at the cabin from time to time, fearing that something might happen to Lan Xiyue.
The cruise ship not far away noticed something was wrong and immediately accelerated closer.
An Yi and other secret guards quickly boarded their cruise ship and started a fierce battle with the men in black. The deck was filled with the flashing of swords and the deafening shouts of killing.
Inside the cabin, Chuchun and several other maids were already trembling with fear. They huddled in a corner. They didn't know martial arts and couldn't help the young lady, so they could only try their best not to cause trouble for her.
An Yi and several secret guards rushed into the cabin and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Lan Xiyue was safe and sound. They quickly joined the battle and fought the man in black to a standstill.
The cabin was in a mess, with tables and chairs overturned and the sound of broken porcelain heard one after another.
Before long, the men in black on the ship were dealt with one by one by the well-trained secret guards in a lightning-fast manner, leaving behind corpses on the ground and a lingering murderous atmosphere.
Lan Xiyue's face was so gloomy at this moment, "Damn it, they are so blind!" She cursed in a low voice, feeling dissatisfied that these men in black had disturbed the relationship between her brother and Qian Duoduo.
She walked out of the cabin with a gloomy face, her eyes falling on Lan Shenye who was gently comforting the frightened Qian Duoduo not far away.
Qian Duoduo's face was pale and her eyes were full of fear. It was obvious that she was still frightened by the sudden assassination.
Seeing this, Lan Xiyue smiled playfully, thinking to herself, "Huh?" It seems the appearance of this man in black isn't entirely bad; at least it's brought my brother and Duoduo closer.
Lan Shenye caught a glimpse of Lan Xiyue's figure out of the corner of his eye, and he quickly looked at her with concern, "Yueyue, are you okay?" His tone was full of worry.
Lan Xiyue smiled and shook her head, "Brother, I'm fine. But Duoduo seems scared?"
When Qian Duoduo heard the voice, he seemed to have found support. He immediately ran towards Lan Xiyue and hugged her tightly. "Yueyue, I was scared to death." There was a hint of trembling in his voice.
Lan Xiyue patted her back gently and comforted her softly: "Okay, okay, it's okay. My brother is here and he will protect you."
At this time, An Yi stepped forward and carefully examined the bodies of the men in black, his expression solemn. "Princess, these people are not from Dongyao Kingdom, they are more like people from Saibei."
Lan Xiyue's eyes flashed with surprise when she heard this. "An Yi, are you sure? Someone from Saibei?"
"Princess, I am not mistaken. They even have wolf totems on their arms."
Lan Xiyue's brow furrowed, her thoughts surging like a tide. "Aren't Saibei and our Dongyao Kingdom related by marriage? Today is the day Princess Linchuan and the King of Saibei are in the capital, and now someone from Saibei is trying to assassinate me?"
An Yi lowered his head and spoke in a lower voice. "Princess, you don't know that Saibei often harassed our border and even started wars. It was only after our master led his troops to defeat Saibei that Saibei surrendered. Five years ago, on the Queen Mother's birthday, the King of Saibei came to Beijing to celebrate. I don't know what Princess Linchuan was thinking, but she actually fell in love with the King of Saibei..."
Lan Xiyue's gaze fell on Qian Duoduo's still slightly pale face. She opened her red lips and said, "Brother, take Duoduo to An Yi and the others' cruise ship first. Duoduo will be scared by the scenes here."
Qian Duoduo forced a smile, her lips still trembling slightly: "I, I'm not afraid..." Her voice was as thin as a mosquito, and her face turned pale as she looked at the corpse of the man in black on the boat.
Lan Xiyue rolled her eyes and said, "You look so bad, stop trying to be so stubborn."
