After conquering seven male favorites, the vicious heroine wants to run away

Chapter 255 Confess Identity
After dinner, Shi Nuanyu was pulled into the study. She sat properly in the chair, but her eyes kept wandering around.

Ding Lan wiped her Green Moon Blade with a rag, while Shi Zheng frowned and pretended to read a book, his eyes glancing at the mother and daughter.

Shi Nuanyu accidentally met his gaze, and her heart skipped a beat.

Now, do you really think your father won't kill her with his eyes?
In his nervousness, he let out a loud burp, the clear sound echoing in the study.

She lowered her head awkwardly, wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground, unaware of the suppressed laughter of the two people sitting on the seat.

What are your plans after the imperial examination?

Shi Zheng sipped his tea, concealing the smile on his face, and casually asked a question.

Upon hearing that it was a matter of national importance, Ding Lan put down her broadsword and looked at her daughter with a serious expression.

Upon hearing the question, Shi Nuanyu's embarrassment vanished, and she immediately got to work, pondering the solutions she had come up with over the past few days.

Her father, the emperor, entrusted her with the imperial examination and also put her in full charge of the follow-up matters.

She pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Although Nanyue has a strong military, its agricultural, economic, and educational strengths are clearly insufficient, and the lives of the people on the border are still impoverished."

"Your subject has three ideas: First, resolve internal troubles and guard against external enemies; second, develop trade with neighboring countries to attract farmers and benefit the people; third, build academies to attract talents so that all children can learn knowledge."

Since her transmigration, what she has seen most is officials not fulfilling their duties. There are too many injustices in the world, and someone should take care of them.

Shi Zheng listened intently, "These three issues are indeed problems that exist in Nanyue in the short term. Who do you think is the most suitable to handle them?"

Since taking control of Nanyue, he has focused on training troops to deter neighboring countries, allowing Nanyue to recuperate and rebuild. He has also entrusted the internal affairs of Nanyue to trusted ministers.

Desire fuels human nature; how many of those who swore allegiance to Nan Yue are still left?

Shi Nuanyu looked at her emperor father on the throne in astonishment. He had accepted her proposal without even thinking.

How can she repay such trust?
Ding Lan began, “To conduct trade, we need envoys to negotiate, and selecting the right people is also a problem.”

Shi Nuanyu had no time to think about anything else and her mind returned to official business.

"Your subject believes that the first option is best suited for the newly appointed top scholar, the third option is best suited for the deans of the two major academies of Nan Yue and the Ministry of Rites, and as for the second option... Your subject is suitable."

If she remains unharmed after tonight, it would be most appropriate for her to go.

Shi Zheng nodded in agreement, "Acting this way is the safest course of action."

Winter days are short and dark, and he glanced at the sky and unceremoniously chased her away.

"You should return to the Princess's residence."

Don't even think about sleeping with his wife.

Shi Nuanyu was stunned, hesitated, lowered her head, got up and walked to the center, where she knelt down straight.

"Your subject has something to report."

Ding Lan's relaxed expression instantly turned serious. She slowly withdrew her outstretched hand and nodded slowly to Shi Zheng.

Shi Zheng understood and looked up at his daughter kneeling on the ground.

"What is an emperor?"

A sudden sense of oppression washed over her. Shi Nuanyu met his gaze, her indomitable spirit rising within her. She resisted the oppression and spoke with a resounding voice.

"The emperor guards the nation's gates, the monarch dies for the state; the sovereign puts the people first and pacifies the chaotic world."

Shi Zheng: "Wrong."

Shi Nuanyu: "An emperor should be concerned about the country and its people before anyone else, and should enjoy the world's happiness after everyone else."

Shi Zheng: "Wrong."

He picked up the dagger inlaid with the bright moon from the table and threw it in front of her.

"Rules for the Emperor: Learn to save your life."

Shi Nuanyu stared at him in shock, her soul and even her breath trembling.

"My son, I obey."

Trembling, he picked up the dagger and gripped it tightly in his palm.

Did they know what she was going to say?
Or did they already know?
That's right. Even the most foolish person would notice if their own daughter's personality changed drastically.

Since that's the case, let's make things clear today. It's better to live a vibrant and exciting life than to live a life of hiding and hiding.

She, Shi Nuanyu, was determined not to be a coward. She stood up, respectfully placed the dagger on the desk, and knelt down under the astonished gazes of the two men, resolutely stating her name.

"Shi Nuanyu greets His Majesty and Empress Nanyue."

After she transmigrated, they took great care of her and supported every decision she made. She couldn't be a rat in the gutter and selfishly enjoy the love that belonged to the original owner of the body.

"Two years ago, I suddenly woke up in this dynasty and found myself inhabiting the body of Princess Nanyue, whose soul had vanished without a trace..."

The courage that finally came from confessing everything that had happened over the past two years was transformed into a trial.

Shi Nuanyu's voice gradually faded, and her head drooped. Before she knew it, her eyes were filled with tears, which stubbornly refused to fall.

In the study, all that could be heard was the howling wind outside the window and the sound of candlelight. Shi Nuanyu dared not breathe loudly, the sound of her heart pounding filling her ears.

At that moment, she lost the courage to look up.

Ding Lan, with tears welling up in her eyes, rushed over and hugged her beloved daughter tightly.

"Baby, my darling, it's all Mommy's fault. Mommy didn't protect you well."

If that incident hadn't happened back then, her precious daughter wouldn't have suffered so much.

“You are my daughter, the baby I carried for ten months and gave birth to. How could I mistake you?”

Suddenly embraced, Shi Nuanyu's mind went blank. Holding her breath, she stared at her father, the emperor, who remained motionless on the throne.

Shi Zheng nodded slightly, "We wouldn't mistake our daughter."

Ding Lan held her daughter's face in her hands, tears streaming down her face, her eyes filled with unconcealed apology and regret.

"My dearest child, it's my fault for not protecting you properly. You were tricked and your life was in danger at such a young age. My little sister came and said she had a way to save you. She took your soul to another dimension to recuperate..."

Plane?

Little sister?

Shi Nuanyu was shocked and speechless, struggling to process what she had just heard.

When the time was right, Shi Zheng chimed in, "Your aunt, my sister Shi Shuishui."

Upon hearing her aunt's name, Shi Nuanyu could no longer hold back and murmured the same thing over and over.

"Is your aunt your sister?"

She doesn't trust anyone, except her aunt.

Ding Lan nodded, "Shui Shui is your father's younger sister, a biological sibling born of the same parents."

Shi Nuanyu's tense body completely relaxed, and Ding Lan quickly hugged her to support her.

"Why do I……"

Why is she living in another dimension with her aunt?

Why would she be the real daughter of the Southern Moon Emperor and Empress?

If what they're saying is true, then what novel is she reading?
The question lingered in my mind, but the words just wouldn't come out.

Seeing her question, Shi Zheng sighed and recounted what happened back then.

“Back then, you were young, and your mother and I fought for many years to quell the rebellion in Nanyue. You were entrusted to the care of the late emperor.”

At that time, the Southern Moon court was unstable, and the country was in grave danger. The Eastern Chen bandits kidnapped you and took you to the Valley of Divine Healers, where the Valley Master poisoned you with the Frost Poison.

Recalling the events of the past, Shi Zheng felt a deep sense of regret.

"By the time we went to rescue you, it was too late; you were already unconscious."

At that time, Dongchen was very powerful. In order to surrender, Shenyi Valley used Shi Nuanyu as bait, and Dongchen used this to intimidate Nanyue.

Nan Yue will not tolerate such humiliation and will retaliate by slaughtering the Divine Doctor Valley.

Ding Lan hugged her tightly and continued, "There's no cure for the Frost Poison, and we couldn't find a way. Then my little sister suddenly appeared and said she had a solution."
The plan is to find seven boys with pure Yang constitutions to suppress the icy poison within your body. Once you reach adulthood and consummate your marriage with them, the icy poison will gradually disappear.

Shi Nuanyu listened silently, and when she heard this, the corner of her lips twitched involuntarily.

The god-like, icy poison, a common poison in novels, is actually real.

When she heard that she was their biological daughter, the huge weight on her heart completely disappeared.

Is this what family love is?
