"It's good that you're sure." After An Shuyi finished speaking, she opened the trading system. She still had more than 300,000 yuan in her balance. She clicked on the buy section and bought the third time travel pass.
On the other side, Cheng Yumo listened to the two of them for a long time but couldn't understand what they meant. But the next second, Xia Hua pulled him over and made him squat down. A piece of paper appeared in her hand with a few words written on it.
Before he could examine it closely, Xia Hua reminded him, "Turn it over to the back." He had no choice but to do so.
The three of them looked at the line of words on the back: the conditions for transmigrating were to help the host become the Empress Dowager and not to do anything to harm the host.
An Shuyi glanced at him before saying to Xia Hua, "Hua Hua, it seems his conditions for time travel are the same as yours, only the second one is different." Does this mean that Cheng Yumo can travel back to the modern world with them?
If possible, does Xiao Yubai also meet this condition? But we'll have to wait until he gets the time travel pass to find out.
Xia Hua nodded, "If he has the conditions, it means he can too. Now we can only wait a few more years." After saying that, she took the time travel pass and handed it to Shu Shu to put away.
Cheng Yumo watched as what she had just obtained was taken away again, but she still couldn't help asking curiously, "Madam Xia, what is this? There are words written on it."
If he wasn't mistaken, what he saw in front of him was a time travel pass. Time travel? What was that? It looked especially mysterious.
An Shuyi put the time travel pass back into the warehouse, placing it together with the previous two, without any intention of explaining.
Xia Hua had no choice but to explain, "We are not from this world." Although she had spent some time with this old man and they got along quite well, she had never said that she was not from this world.
She felt the time wasn't right yet, thinking that she would wait until Shushu had bought the time travel pass before bringing it up together, which would save her a lot of trouble.
She thought he wouldn't be too surprised to hear that they weren't from this world, since she could guess something if she investigated. But after waiting for a long time, she didn't see any response from him.
"Huahua, I think he's too stupid, like a block of wood. Not only is he bad at handling things, but his mental resilience is also too poor," An Shuyi said gloatingly from the side.
"Then let's wait until he can handle me emotionally before we talk about it!" Xia Hua said helplessly, but what could she do since it was her own choice?
Cheng Yumo also snapped out of her daze during their conversation, "Madam Xia, Madam An, you're not from this world. What world is that? A world of monsters?"
"I think it must be a monster. I thought you were too young before. After all, there are people who get younger and more beautiful as they get older."
“If we were monsters, we would have eaten you long ago to replenish our blood. Don’t worry, we’re not monsters. Hua Hua, you need to explain this to him quickly. I really don’t want to see him making up his own thoughts,” An Shuyi said.
Xia Hua nodded helplessly, "We are not from this world, nor are we monsters. We live in another world and came here by chance."
"Once we finish the task, just like the piece of paper I gave you earlier, we can leave here. As for why I told you, it's because I want you to come with me to our world. Would you like to go?"
"I'm willing!" Cheng Yumo stood up excitedly. "I'm more than willing, but why do I feel like I'm listening to a story? You're not kidding me, are you?"
"Otherwise, how could such a magical thing exist in this world? And it's just a piece of paper. Although it looks nice, it still seems impossible."
"If you're willing, then do whatever I tell you to do from now on. Don't make so many demands. If you're not willing, then get lost," Xia Hua said directly, clearly dissatisfied.
That's incredibly stupid. She's been taking things out of the warehouse frequently lately, isn't that amazing enough? And you don't believe it? What a waste of your breath.
Seeing that she was angry, Cheng Yumo quickly explained, "Madam Xia, I was wrong. I shouldn't have doubted you. Don't be angry. I believe you and I'm very willing to do so. I will definitely follow your orders."
"I'm just wondering, who is this 'host' who helped the host become the Empress Dowager, and why didn't they go to you?"
Xia Hua explained, "The host is Shu Shu. As long as Yan Zhen becomes the emperor, Shu Shu will become the Empress Dowager, and this mission will be considered complete."
"You have one more condition: you must not harm Shushu. We also have other missions, which are now complete. We are just waiting for Yan Zhen to become emperor before we can leave."
Of course, they wouldn't leave immediately. They would only leave once Yan Zhen had secured his throne and had people to assist him.
After listening to her, Cheng Yumo nodded. This was their own reason for not becoming emperors. "Madam Xia, Madam An, don't worry, I will definitely help you complete this mission. But what is your world like? Why do you have to leave? Isn't it good to stay here?"
An Shuyi said, "This world is fine, but we are all fifty years old now. If we live long, we still have thirty years left. If we don't want to live, we'll be done in a dozen years."
"We're different in another world. Maybe if we travel back, we'll still be in our twenties and can live off others for decades. As for what that world is like, let Huahua tell you later." Since there's a way to travel back, of course it's good to go back to that world.
Xia Hua stood up. "Since things have been settled, let's go back. Take a few days to rest and recover. In less than a month, that old man, the emperor, should be seriously ill."
The three returned to the mansion. An Shuyi went to her room to sleep, while Xia Hua was pestered by Cheng Yumo, who asked her about that world.
Time quickly passed to the eve of the Lunar New Year. Tomorrow, the palace will hold a banquet, which all officials of the third rank and their wives, in addition to the ministers, must attend.
That night, An Shuyi and Xia Hua lay in bed. During this time, they had arranged everything and were just waiting for the palace banquet the next day. Now there was no imperial concubine in the palace, and the position of right prime minister had been vacant.
In the imperial court, the ministers were vying for the position of Right Chancellor, but the emperor delayed in bestowing the title, as if he were watching a play.
"Huahua, do you think Xiao Zili is reliable? I'm really worried that he's useless and that he'll be controlled by the Duke of Protectorate as soon as he sits on the throne."
Xia Hua said, "Xiao Zili won't be that useless. His uncle Deng Wenyu will also be in the capital tomorrow, and Wen Shan and the others will come too. With them keeping Deng Wenyu in check, nothing will happen."
"Besides, as long as he sits on the throne for even a second, we'll have fulfilled our previous agreement. Whether he can hold onto it or not is not really our concern." The throne is easier for them to seize if it's in someone else's hands.
Deng Wenyu is now a General of the Escort Cavalry, and so is Wen Shan, only they are stationed in different places. However, Wen Shan is still younger, and if he didn't have that ruthlessness, he wouldn't have been able to become a General of the Escort Cavalry.
