Quick Transmigration: Hosts, We're Only Responsible for Counterattacking

Chapter 92 Turning the Tables to Become King (5)

The younger sister she was referring to was naturally Mu Changxue.

These words also reflected Xia Yuliu's true feelings, but feelings are one thing and actions are another.

The position of Empress has never been awarded to the most capable; the most important factor is one's birth. The original owner of this body was a legitimate daughter of a prestigious family and had made great contributions in the struggle for the throne, so she could be considered to have truly deserved the title.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuliu's expression changed several times before returning to calm. He said gently, "Rao'er, you have a strong personality and can handle even the biggest things. Xue'er is different; she has been weak since childhood. You are sisters, so you should help her."

"Listen to him, is he even speaking human language?"

2345 nodded in agreement. [This time I won't stop you, host. Go for it! Chop down this shameless bastard!]

"How can you be weak-willed? I heard that you were quite impressive the night before last."

Xia Yuliu's face flushed red, as if he was furious. But seeing the woman's nonchalant attitude, he felt a sense of relief. For the time being, he really had no way to do anything to her.

Moreover, she did indeed contribute a lot to his ascension to the throne, so for that reason alone, he had to be patient and just keep another woman in the harem.

Thinking of this, his expression softened considerably. "Rao'er, I know I've wronged you during this time, but no matter what, you are still my Empress, and I have never mistreated you."

With an indifferent expression, Shen Yun tightly gripped her right hand with her left, feeling that if she didn't hold on tighter, she might lose control of herself.

"Alright, Your Majesty, I can attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, but Your Majesty must grant me one request."

His expression, which had just eased somewhat, immediately stiffened again. Xue'er was right; this woman was shameless.

Before he could speak, Shen Yun continued, "A year ago, I gave Your Majesty a piece of warm jade. It was the last thing my father left behind. If possible, please return it to me."

What she said was different from what he had expected, which caused a distorted expression on his face.

Seeing that his nose and eyes were neither nose nor eyes, Shen Yun paused in surprise. What happened to the 360-degree flawless appearance? If even a tiny bit of his luck could be added to his appearance, he wouldn't be so ugly.

I suddenly remembered the day she gave me the warm jade.

"Xia Yuliu, I'm giving you this jade. Don't lose it. If you do, I'll never forgive you for the rest of my life." The girl's clear voice echoed in my mind.

What did he say back then?

"understood."

Just three simple words.

A hint of tenderness and guilt crept into her eyes. "Rao'er, as you know, Xue'er's health has never been good. This warm jade is perfect for nourishing her body."

Shen Yun: Using the Empress's things to coax the concubine is quite impressive.

Since it wasn't about winning him over, Shen Yun immediately changed her expression without any politeness, her face full of disgust. "I don't believe it. This vast palace must contain countless treasures. Why would I want to steal even this tiny bit of my own?"

Although Xia Yuliu had not been on the throne for long, he had grown up in luxury before that, so no one would give him a hard time. Even though he knew the person in front of him had a bad personality, he did not expect her to be so direct.

He gave her a sharp, complex look, then turned and left.

He said with a resounding voice, "I will have it delivered tomorrow." His back view was quite dashing, though a little shabby.

However, his actions today gave Shen Yun a lot of ideas. There are countless ways to torture people, and she always manages to find the most unique yet most infuriating way.

For example, let his head grow a grassland.

[Host, this won't do. Xia Yuliu is young, promising, handsome, and rich. What girl would leave him for someone else?]

Shen Yun gave it a meaningful look, then chuckled twice. “No matter what, the harem is a place where women gather in droves. There are too many women and not enough men. Not to mention the selection of concubines after the ascension to the throne, there were dozens of beauties in Xia Yuliu’s original harem.”

Xia Yu Liu, willow, green.

Although it shouldn't think that way, as a fellow male, I suddenly feel a little sorry for the male protagonist.

……

Xia Yuliu kept his word and had the warm jade delivered before noon, but it was said that there had been some conflict between him and Mu Changxue.

After all, warm jade is a very rare thing. Mu Changxue was already unhappy that her elder sister had a piece of it. Later, she got it from Xia Yuliu and felt much better. Who knew that the duck that was about to be eaten could fly away? Naturally, she was furious. She acted coquettishly and angrily, but in the end, she still took it out.

Holding the warm jade in her hand, she felt it was indeed warm and cozy, as was her entire body. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she suddenly remembered what her adoptive father had told her.

"Rao'er, here is this jade pendant for you. If you are ever unhappy, you can take this jade pendant back to the General's Mansion."

What could the General's Mansion possibly have to change her fate again?

Through the blinding sunlight, Shen Yun suddenly felt that the shape of this warm jade was too rugged, and the patterns on it were too fancy. It was rarely commissioned by royalty or nobles, and her cheap father would never have any jewelry on him.

Therefore, this piece of warm jade must have a remarkable origin.

She even felt that it didn't look like an ornament, but more like a key.

If things aren't going well, you can just go back to the General's Mansion. By the time your father died, the political landscape was basically set, and Xia Yuliu's ascension to the throne was a foregone conclusion. So what could the General's Mansion possibly have that would make Xia Yuliu's position less secure?

Money? People?
It boils down to these two points.

It would be impossible for a human to do so. Anyone with a brain could figure out the original owner's situation, yet no one raised any objections. Of course, it's not that those former generals were ungrateful, but rather that they simply lacked the ability to do so.

In particular, the original owner's and his father's confidants were either demoted or assassinated.

If what she thinks is true, then all that's left is money.

Money makes the world go round; if it doesn't, it's because you don't have enough money.

The Weiyuan General's Mansion was bestowed by the late emperor. It was very large and looked very luxurious on the outside, but in fact, it was dilapidated inside. Everyone who had visited the Weiyuan General's Mansion felt that the father was a very honest and upright person.

But now that I think about it, it does seem a bit strange.
