Chapter 01
It had just rained heavily in the evening, and the begonias on the Yuanji Hall were blown down by the rain and reflected on the window paper. Looking at the flowers in the rain is a pleasing sight, but no one appreciates it at this time.
The palace servants were busy, cleaning the mud stains in the hall with light steps, bowing their heads and keeping silent. Those who served nearby knew that His Majesty had a moody temper and hated rainy days the most, so they didn't dare to show up at all. They were just anxiously trying to clean up the rain stains as soon as possible before His Majesty returned from Wannian Pavilion, so as not to pollute the Holy Eyes.
What, you said rain stains are hard to wash and can’t be cleaned thoroughly?
The Xinzheku is waiting for you.
Hehehe, those thousand pieces of rough clothes must be easier to wash than the windows.
Haven’t you seen how many palace maids who relied on their beauty to cheat and cheat were demoted before, and now they are so well-behaved in Yuanji Palace?
Alas, listening to the palace servants outside who were so cautious that they didn't even dare to breathe, Xie Ling felt that he was really miserable.
How did he get here?
Beast Star, Insect Star, and Mecha Star. At worst, this great country has had 5,000 years of history, so any other dynasty would have been fine. Why had it to be this fatal dynasty?
As an 18th-tier writer, he just gained a little fame on the Internet, and ended up being tied to a literary giant system.
The literary giant system, as the name suggests, is to cultivate a generation of literary giants who will leave a strong mark on the Internet. However, the competition in the time and space where Xie Ling lives is too fierce, and there are countless famous and powerful writers. After a difficult simulation by the system, it is calculated that if Xie Ling wants to become a literary giant in this time and space, he will have to wait for about... 300 years.
It's so funny. It took three hundred years for the old, middle-aged and young generations to pass away, and for the new generation of rising stars to emerge, before Xie Ling, who had been writing books for three hundred years and turned into a pile of ashes, had the opportunity to be crowned as a literary giant.
The simulated data appeared before his eyes. Xie Ling was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to die. He got angry for a moment.
He is a writer of melodramatic stories to begin with. If he is given another three hundred years, his stories will at most be stale melodramas. It is better to expect him to live for three hundred years than to expect him to break through the siege and make a comeback in life.
So everyone looked at each other, knowing that it would be impossible to achieve the achievements of a literary giant in this time and space, and they could only go to other time and space to see if they could find any loopholes.
After going through a lot of trouble and consuming a lot of energy, the system finally found a culturally poor orc planet and planned to send Xie Ling there to broaden the horizons of those ignorant orcs in the unknown time and space.
The next second, one person and one unification traveled through time.
The good news is that they have indeed left this time and space. The bad news is that it is time for them to broaden their horizons.
When Xie Ling opened his eyes, he saw a scene of extremely luxurious decoration: ambergris, eight-treasure furnace, sandalwood table, and the pool under him...
Jade, pure white jade!
No adulteration!
Xie Ling looked around and smiled tremblingly: "Tongzi, it turns out that the orc planet you chose is retro style. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I was shocked."
The system also shook: "How can that be possible?"
"The Orc Planet is clearly going for the wasteland technology style."
Where did such a pure, natural and pollution-free ancient building come from?
Xie Ling: …
He had read too many time-travel novels, and he had even written several of them himself. When Xie Ling heard the system's words, he had to prepare for the worst. He gritted his teeth and poked the window paper with his hand.
With this poke, Yiren and Yitong saw a person wearing palace clothes who was walking across from them and lowering his head.
Looking at the intangible cultural heritage on the other party, Xie Ling was desperate. This was not a studio, this was a palace! This garbage system not only sent him to the wrong place, but also brought him to the palace.
It was well known that ordinary people could not enter the imperial palace. He was neither a member of the imperial guards nor a eunuch. As an outsider, Xie Ling felt a black screen before his eyes as he soaked in the bedroom pool where a heavyweight figure in the palace lived.
"Host, don't be anxious. There may be a chance of recovery." The mechanical voice spoke quickly, and at this time the system finally finished scanning his identity.
Because of a bug, Xie Ling possessed the body of the person who looked most similar to his original self in that time and space as soon as he traveled through time. He was so shocked that he only had time to check the other person's identity now.
Of course, it doesn't matter whether you watch it or not, you're going to die anyway. I just don't know whether he will be beheaded, torn into pieces, or his entire clan exterminated... Oh my!
After Xie Ling received the memory and listened to the powerful voice of the eunuch outside, he just wanted to curse!
Is this eunuch chief Zhao Yongnian out of his mind to come up with such a "beautiful" plan in public? !
It's true that palace eunuchs have been searching for beauties to present to the emperor since ancient times. Now, if you've committed a crime and embezzled the inner treasury and it's discovered, your head is in danger and you're desperate, so you're thinking of taking a gamble in front of His Majesty.
But you also have to look at who you are offering to!
Xie Ling's scalp tingled when he thought about the historical node he had traveled through.
The dynasty he is currently in is Dagan, and the palace in front of him is Yuanji Hall, the bedroom of the fourth emperor of Dagan, Emperor Ganwu.
Who is Emperor Qianwu Xiao Huan? He is recognized by history books as the epitome of feudal emperors.
Unlike his father who was kind and cowardly, he was the most ruthless emperor since the reign of Emperor Daigan, and he had killed countless people since he ascended the throne.
He ascended the throne at the age of nineteen, and at the age of twenty, he defeated the Queen Mother and forced her to guard the mausoleum. He spent six years preparing for war, rectified the court, and launched a massive military campaign, with blood flowing like a river in the capital.
He is 28 years old this year. He annexed the Northern and Southern Dynasties and united the Great Yan Dynasty, which was on par with Da Gan. He is a man of great talent and strategy, and is a perfect template for a feudal emperor of great unification.
Even if the literati secretly cursed Xiao Huan as the only tyrant in the Dagan generation, it could not change the fact that he took action.
According to the history that Xie Ling learned: Oh, yes, it is specifically recorded in history books that what this person hated most in his life was homosexuality.
Eunuchs like to understand their superiors' intentions, but it is outrageous that they understand them to such an extent that they risk their lives.
Since Xiao Huan ascended the throne, his harem has been empty and he has not accepted any concubines. But this is not because he likes handsome men, but because Xiao Huan is superstitious!
Emperor Qianwu, a great and wise emperor, did not think anyone was worthy of him and only wanted to live forever. In addition, he was naturally frigid, and after summarizing the symptoms of several emperors who died early in the previous dynasty, he decided to abstain from sex and eliminate all this from the source.
It can be said that Zhao Yongnian's dragon fart directly hit the dragon's leg!
And he was the brainless grudge who conspired with Zhao Yongnian. As the bastard of Dingyi Marquis, he coveted his elder brother's title and relied on his beautiful appearance to have evil thoughts. He got on board Zhao Yongnian's sinking ship and embarked on a fatal bright future together. He looked at this face that looked exactly like his original body and was puzzled. He looked like this before he traveled through time, but he was not as confident as him. How did he think he could charm Emperor Ganwu!
Noticing the host's heavy breathing, the system tried its best to comfort him:
"Ding, we have detected that the passage is faulty. The system is speeding up the repair. Please do not give up hope, and try your best to stay alive and wait for the system to rescue you."
You can't stay here any longer.
Why are you hiding? Just lie down, you are going to die.
Xianyu, who had just sat up from the bathtub, lay back down in despair.
system:……
Choked by Xie Ling's action, the mechanical voice in his head had to speak: "Because we are a literary master system, there are still some rewards."
Xie Ling didn't move.
It's so funny, he's about to vanish, why would he care about the system?
If it weren't for the system, he might still be at home drinking fat otaku happy water.
Just die, I don’t care!
System: "Although you are in the wrong place, you still have to complete the mission."
"Dear, you have to start writing soon. One thousand words per hour is a minimum."
No matter how much cat sounds you make, it won't work. Thinking of his miserable future, Xie Ling felt calm.
Until smoke came out of the system: "Get up and update now! I will block your pain for a day before you are torn into pieces!"
Only 5% of the energy was left and all was given to Xie Ling. The system felt so painful that it felt that it had brought misfortune to kidnap Xie Ling.
The corpse floating in the water, which had been motionless just now, suddenly sat up.
Pain blocking!
"One hundred percent?"
"You can't feel anything at all?"
"The kind that can still smile even if my head falls off?"
system:……
“I can’t feel anything at all!”
"Just wait to die."
"So now, write it quickly before you get your limbs cut off!"
If he could write one chapter, he could accumulate energy for another chapter, so at least he could still survive.
Xie Ling scratched his head awkwardly: "How can I write without a computer?"
"This should be a bathing place, and there doesn't seem to be any paper or pen."
The system resigned itself to connecting this old man to a mental threshold network.
"Whatever you think in your head, you can write in the system."
Xie Ling nodded and sat in the white jade pool, thinking about it. Looking at the quaint scene in front of him and thinking about the eighteen ways he would die, he suddenly became so angry that he wrote a big title.
As an 18th-tier writer who writes melodramatic stories, Xie Ling is best at writing such sour and refreshing stories that make people's scalps tingle, especially such shocking titles at first glance. Who can not be attracted?!
Tsk, Xie Ling touched his chin, it was a pity that he could only appreciate the title of such a hot search homepage by himself.
system:……
Forget it. The system had not expected to change his writing style. It simply gave Xie Ling a pain shield and then shut down automatically after running out of energy. Xie Ling was left alone, a fool, sitting in the pool with great interest to think about his ideas.
…
At this time, the hour of Xu had just passed, and the owner in the title finally came out from Wannian Pavilion after handling government affairs.
Xiao Huan raised his eyes to look at the hazy drizzle from morning till night and couldn't help but frowning, then he heard a voice beside his ear.
"Your Majesty, are we going back to Yuanji Palace now?"
Wang Bao bowed his body slightly, and couldn't help but tremble with fear when he thought of what he had just found out in Wannian Pavilion. After all, who could have thought that from the second year of Qiande to now, His Majesty had ordered the confiscation of several corrupt and law-breaking dukedoms, but now there are still people who defy the law and commit crimes.
And that person was none other than Zhao Yongnian, one of the chief eunuchs together with Wang Bao.
He was the first person in the internal treasury corruption case in the memorial that the Eagle Guard had just presented. Thinking of Zhao Yongnian who was still in Yuanji Hall and didn't know about it, Wang Bao sighed slightly.
In the imperial carriage, Xiao Huan regained his composure and said expressionlessly, "Go back."
Some of the minions who stretched their hands too far should also be dealt with.
The waiting palace maid leaned forward hurriedly after hearing what was said, but she couldn't help thinking in her heart: His Majesty did not order people to arrest Zhao Yongnian now but went straight back to the palace.
Tsk...he's finished.
The servant escalated the seriousness of the matter to a higher level.
The Yuanji Hall was quiet at this time. The palace servants held their breath and saluted as soon as the time for His Majesty to return to the palace had arrived.
Zhao Yongnian's heart was pounding when the call for banning whips was sounded. According to his guess, the emperor would find out about his crime and put him in prison in the next two days. Success or failure would depend on this one move.
He secretly glanced towards the back hall, thinking that the illegitimate son of the marquis's mansion who had volunteered should be ready, right?
Thinking that the other party has a feminine and beautiful appearance, which is different from ordinary men, His Majesty may like this type of man, he felt a little relieved.
If Xie Ling, who was writing a novel, knew what he was thinking, she would just tell him.
——You really think too much.
Appearance?
In front of Xiao Huan, who was wholeheartedly seeking immortality, this thing was worse than dry bones. At least dry bones could let Xiao Huan know how many bones there were in the human body.
And beauty... is of no use.
Moreover, Xie Ling took the time to look at the young man in the bronze mirror, who looked like a golden jade, with a white complexion and a beautiful appearance, and couldn't help but twitch his lips. If this body, which looked exactly like the one before he traveled through time, had the appearance of a handsome man before, then now he has been floating in the bath for so long that his hair and clothes have been twisted and messy. At this time, it's good enough that he doesn't look like a water ghost, so how can he be so handsome?
Oh, judging from the sound, someone must have arrived.
Xie Ling, who was still writing a novel in his mind, immediately got up and knelt on the ground, waiting for a bloody killing spree comparable to that in the infinite horror copy.
The system activated the pain shield, and Xie Ling, who had relaxed, couldn't help but think about it for a moment.
If Xiao Huan had waited until his head disappeared, would it be famous for him to smile before dying?
On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, the eunuch who had committed a crime presented a beautiful woman to Emperor Wu of Han.
Emperor Wu was furious.
The beauty remained calm in the face of danger, and her composure was composed. She grinned as her head fell to the ground, leaving a deep shadow of smile on Emperor Wu... From then on, no one in Yuanji Palace dared to laugh.
Xie Ling tried to laugh out loud, and almost died of laughter when he imagined the bad joke just now.
In fact, Xiao Huan sensed something was wrong as soon as he entered Yuanji Hall. He had been practicing martial arts since he was young and had sharp ears and eyes. After he came in, he noticed the change in Zhao Yongnian's expression at a glance.
The palace servants in the hall were no different from usual, except that the old slave beside him breathed heavily for a moment.
It was this instantaneous change that made Xiao Huan narrow his eyes slightly but he did not show it. Instead, he wanted to see what the old slave wanted to do before he died.
When the imposing emperor came in, Zhao Yongnian served him as usual, holding back his fear: "I know that Your Majesty likes cleanliness. It's raining outside and your clothes are wet. Why don't you bathe and change clothes in the hot spring in the back hall, and then ask the kitchen to serve you food?"
Xiao Huan: Oh?
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Huan had already guessed what the old slave was planning.
I'm afraid there must be some beauty in the hot spring in the back hall.
"Someone come."
With a cold sneer, Xiao Huan looked at Zhao Yongnian, the old slave who refused to give up even when facing death, and raised his hand to let the imperial guards come forward to drag the man away.
But as soon as he moved, both Zhao Yongnian and Xiao Huan, who were almost frightened to death, suddenly heard a sound from the back hall.
The “hahahahaha” laughter was particularly clear in the silent Yuanji Hall. It seemed like it was being suppressed with great effort, but the effect was even more remarkable.
For a moment, everyone almost thought they had heard it wrong.
Glancing at His Majesty's suddenly gloomy expression, Wang Bao wished he had an extra pair of ears that didn't hear.
It's a sin.
Is this young man inside crazy? Why is he laughing at this time?
Xiao Huan: ...
He stopped and laughed in anger, then looked down at Zhao Yongnian and saw that he seemed also stunned by the beauty he had found. He didn't expect him to burst into laughter at this time, which scared him silly.
"Pull it down."
He waved his hand and asked someone to take the dead slave away. Xiao Huan walked into the back hall and wanted to see what kind of monsters were playing tricks in here.
The eunuchs around him didn't even dare to breathe and followed carefully.
Wang Bao was terrified. He closed his eyes and pushed the door open. However, he saw a person who was different from what everyone had imagined - a man who was soaking wet and looked like a water ghost was kneeling at the door.
A large patch of water stains spread out in front of the other person. The man with disheveled hair had dull eyes and was lost in thought. He looked up at them after hearing the sound, then looked away calmly. The next moment, the corners of his mouth suddenly opened into a strange smile, and he stiffened his neck, not knowing what he was doing, which ruined his beautiful face that looked like a lotus emerging from the water.
Wang Bao, who pushed the door open: …
Is this the beauty Zhao Yongnian is looking for?
Does he really think that this water-dwelling beauty can seduce His Majesty, or has he given up hope?
Wang Bao couldn't understand it and was greatly shocked.
Xiao Huan: "Come on, let's pull him down together."
After dealing with government affairs for the whole day, Xiao Huan was too lazy to think about what this man was thinking or why he was laughing just now. Just like Zhao Yongnian, he planned to have someone take him away and dismember him.
But just as he started to speak, he saw the smile on the face of the embarrassed water ghost in front of him getting bigger and bigger.
Xiao Huan: ...
Is he provoking me?
He choked for a rare moment. He had never seen anyone who was so fearless of death. Did he know what he was doing?
Xie Ling certainly knew. But life is only once, the system only said to help him block pain but didn't say to give him another life, if he died, he would really die. Anyway, the sins committed by this body could not be pardoned, now that he was here, he might as well do something big. Xie Ling tried hard to pose and wondered if this smile that stretched from ear to ear was enough to be recorded in the history books, leaving a strong and colorful mark in his short twenty years of life, without noticing that Xiao Huan in front of him suddenly stopped talking.
Xiao Huan, who was about to order someone to drag him away and execute him with a blank expression on his face, suddenly discovered that a line of huge golden words, almost blinding him, suddenly appeared above the head of this brain-sick water ghost.
The font used was unfamiliar, but he seemed to be able to understand every word, which pounded into his mind like a huge rock and could not be rejected.
What should you do if you are doomed to die at the beginning? What should you do if you are penniless? We will teach you how to fight back.
