Chapter 189 Conditions, Empress Dowager



After finishing their meal, Xia Hua took out the peony she had dug up and went to wash the dishes and set up the tent. An Shuyi then went to sell things, putting the peony in the warehouse and opening the sale window. Unexpectedly, not only was the price of ginseng high today, but the price of this peony was also high.

Wei Zi is a very large plant with flowers still in bloom. One plant can sell for five thousand taels of silver. This is already the highest price she can get from the trading system. Of course, it can't compare to ginseng, because the ginseng she dug up this morning can sell for six thousand five hundred taels of silver, while the one that Hua Hua dug up can sell for six thousand taels of silver.

It's so annoying. Why wasn't the ginseng she dug up worth 7,000 taels? Otherwise, the one Hua Hua dug up could have been worth an extra 500 taels, so she could have just sold the ginseng and kept the peony. But now, even after selling both ginsengs, it's only worth 12,500 taels, which is 500 taels short.

Helpless, in order to buy a second time travel pass today, she had no choice but to sell the ginseng and peony flowers, increasing her balance by 17,500 taels, bringing her total to 104,500 taels.

The moment she had enough silver, she opened the trading system to buy things. Looking at the second travel pass, she clicked to buy it. After the purchase, the second slot of the travel pass turned dark, just like the previous one, with the same three words: Sold Out.

It seems her earlier guess was correct; this time travel pass can only be purchased once, but she still has two left. She took the last time travel pass and made the trading system disappear.

Seeing that Hua Hua had already set up the tent and was changing into her pajamas inside, I stood up, put the stool in the warehouse, and went to the tent. "Hua Hua, I've already bought the second time travel pass. Take a look and see what the requirements are this time."

Xia Hua had already changed her clothes when she arrived. She put her previous clothes aside and sat in the tent with Shu Shu. She took the paper, which was the same as the previous one, with black patterns on the edges. However, she flipped it over to look at the back.

Holy crap!

After reading it, they immediately cursed out loud, because the conditions this time were really too outrageous. The two looked at each other in dismay.

"Hehe!" An Shuyi said awkwardly, "Actually, this world is pretty good. We live here for decades and slowly grow old, which is also a kind of happiness. Traveling back is troublesome. Maybe in that world, we would have died long ago, so it wouldn't matter whether we go back or not."

She hadn't expected the trading system to be so unfair, with such conditions. Thinking of the two passes she had left, she continued, "Why don't we find some more flowers and plants to sell, and then buy another time travel pass? Maybe that will allow us to go back. We can just keep this one."

Seeing her lack of determination, Xia Hua said disdainfully, "Then find some more flowers and plants to sell. If that doesn't work, the conditions on this paper are also acceptable."

The condition for this time travel is to help the host become the Empress Dowager. This host can't possibly be her; it must be the owner of the trading system, Shushu. But why not the emperor? She thinks an empress would be fine too, and she'd be happy to do so.

The Empress Dowager means that Shushu's sons are not suitable, so it can only be his grandsons. Shushu currently has two grandsons, so it can only be the eldest grandson, Lin Yanzhen, who is just over a year old. How long will it take?

If the condition is that Shushu becomes empress, she can go to the capital right now, storm into the palace, pull the emperor off his throne, and let Shushu sit on it. If anyone tries to resist, she can just use a big knife to deal with them. If there are any external enemies, she can just throw bombs at them. But why does she have to be the Grand Empress Dowager? If all else fails, the Empress Dowager can also be used.

They had promised Xiao Zili that they would help him ascend the throne, but now they've turned into competing with him for the position.

An Shuyi also looked at the words on the time travel pass, "No, we promised Xiao Zili that we would help him sit on the throne. If I become the Empress Dowager, wouldn't that be competing with him for the position?"

Xia Hua patted her shoulder, "What are you afraid of? We can help him get on the throne, but we also need him to be able to hold onto it. If he can't, we'll just replace him with an emperor who can. It's that simple. Besides, emperors have always been suspicious. If we want a legitimate reason, that's not hard either."

If he dares to harm her and Shushu, then they have a reason to kill that brat and help Shushu's grandson sit on the throne.

"But what if he trusts us? Then what other reason is there?" It's true that the emperor is prone to suspicion, but Xiao Zili seems like a pretty good person.

"We'll see when the time comes. Anyway, there are still more than ten years to go, it's not now. Besides, I'm worried that if I buy another time travel pass, what if the conditions on it are still the same? Wouldn't that be a waste of a time travel pass?"

So if you don't have to buy them, don't buy them. You can't waste them. Maybe if you keep these two time travel passes, they'll still be there when they return to the modern world. Then maybe they can travel to the next world again and live for several more decades.

An Shuyi nodded. She was also worried that the next time travel pass would still have the same conditions. Although helping her grandson sit on the throne was not difficult, it was still very troublesome.

Seeing her ever-changing expression, Xia Hua had no choice but to say again, "Don't think too much. Let nature take its course. Perhaps these problems will be solved in a few years, or even a decade or more. Since we helped Xiao Zili ascend the throne, let's continue this agreement."

“If he is a good emperor and does not suspect us, then I guarantee that the throne will still be his. But if he is not a good emperor who cares about the people, or if he wants to harm us, then I will have no choice but to bring him down.”

"Even if the trading system has hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in the future, you are not allowed to buy the remaining two time travel passes. You can only buy them if I say so." She was really afraid that Shushu would not listen to her and would buy the time travel pass.

"Also, when we arrive in the capital, I will buy some beggars and orphans and train them to become assassins. Of course, I will continue to buy them whenever we arrive in a prefecture. If Xiao Zili is a good emperor, they will not appear, but if he is not, they will appear in the future."

"When I get back, I will find a teacher for Yan Zhen to teach him to read and understand principles. Of course, I will also teach him how to govern a country."

An Shuyi covered her forehead, looking helpless. "Fine, I'll listen to you. Just don't teach him too rigidly or inflexibly." She just hoped that Xiao Zili would live up to her expectations, otherwise there was nothing she could do.

If Hua Hua wants to do something, she has to make it happen no matter what. She has no choice but to listen to Hua Hua, since the trading system is such a rip-off.

Xia Hua nodded, "Don't worry, I'll definitely be able to train a good emperor." Of course, she couldn't guarantee how ruthless he would be in private.

"Go to sleep. I was busy buying the time travel pass and haven't checked what items I can buy this time!" An Shuyi said.

"Then I'll go to sleep first, don't stay up too late."
