The next day, Lu Yaoyao went outside again to see what the situation was like.

Passing the gate of the East Palace, she paused intentionally and heard someone say from inside: "The Emperor is returning to the palace."

No matter who was inside or outside, or what they were doing, they all knelt down.

Including Lu Yaoyao herself.

However, she knelt down respectfully, but secretly raised her eyes to look at the emperor who was sitting in the carriage with the help of the eunuchs.

There was a hint of worry on the emperor's face, but no real sadness could be seen.

Lu Yaoyao thought to herself that the emperor did not seem to show excessive sorrow over Xie Qingyu's death. It seemed that he did not care about this son too much.

That’s right, having been abandoned before means that you have already let it go in your heart, so why would you care?

Xie Qingyu's return was just a dream, but he was also a victim of the power game.

After the emperor's guard of honor had gone far away, everyone looked around and stood up cautiously.

At this time, Lu Yaoyao met Bishui's eyes from Donggong.

Bishui's eyes were not very friendly, and there was a hint of hostility and provocation in her arrogance.

The death of the prince had nothing to do with her, and no one suspected her. She was indeed a person who left no trace and acted efficiently.

To be honest, if it weren't for her eyes hinting at me in the palace, I would never have suspected her.

Such a scheming and calculating person is worthy of being trained by Xie Qingchen.

If such a person turns against him later, it would probably be a big threat to Xie Qingchen.

Lu Yaoyao returned to the courtyard, but Xie Qingchen was not there.

She held onto the door frame, feeling a little shaky.

He is so stubborn that no one can change his mind once he decides to do something.

After what happened between the two of them yesterday, she thought he would be afraid and restrain himself.

But he still did what he thought he should do today. It seems that he doesn't care about her that much in his heart!

She felt inexplicably lost and confused in her heart, but she had gotten used to it.

Xie Qingchen's behavior ten years ago meant that he was destined to choose power over her ten years later, right?

Lu Yaoyao slowly walked back to her room. She felt extremely tired and wanted to sleep.

I closed my eyes and fell asleep before I knew it.

I thought it was just an ordinary sleep, but who knew my consciousness would enter the boundless sky.

"Host, wake up, wake up, it's me."

Lu Yaoyao's heart shuddered, and she suddenly opened her eyes, only to find that her consciousness had entered another realm.

"What's wrong? What happened to me? It's like my soul is leaving my body."

The system said, "I tore your soul from your body. Host, headquarters has issued a notice. In order to select a new target, these consecutive failures and anomalies, like a bug, are also a huge challenge to the system. Therefore, headquarters must correct this error and will not allow such challenges to its dignity and authority to continue. It has set up a relatively easy dungeon for the host, which the system can easily clear. After clearing it, not only will you be reborn, but you will also receive one million."

"Is there such a good thing?" Lu Yaoyao couldn't believe it. After all, she had always been unlucky and had nothing going her way since she was a child.

"Indeed, let's get into the plot..."

When Lu Yaoyao opened her eyes again, she found herself in a magnificent house.

The plot entered her mind.

Her new identity is a lady from a wealthy family. She only needs to make a poor scholar fall in love with her, help him pay off his debts, and send him to Beijing to take the imperial examinations and achieve success.

Isn't this much better than conquering a gloomy, crazy and down-and-out prince and making him the crown prince, or a cold-faced general who is not short of love?

At least I won’t run into that lunatic Xie Qingchen again.

He just disappeared so suddenly that she didn't even have time to say goodbye to Gu Huai, which made her feel a little regretful.

I was also worried that Gu Huai would be sad because of this.

It's just that I'm here anyway.

Lu Yaoyao took a deep breath and decided to devote herself to this new "mission".

According to the plot, she needs to find the poor scholar and start her "strategy" journey.

Lu Yaoyao changed into a simple yet elegant outfit and quietly left the house without any followers.

Following the GPS navigation of the system, she inquired and searched, and finally found the scholar named Liu Wenxuan in a dilapidated school.

He was dressed in rags and had a thin face, but there was an unyielding light in his eyes.

It is indeed a tenacious little white flower.

Lu Yaoyao immediately found the teacher at the school and expressed her desire to study there.

At first, the teacher was hesitant because she was dressed in ordinary clothes and was a woman. He was worried that she would not be able to persevere and would affect the school's atmosphere. But Lu Yaoyao's sincere words, coupled with her willingness to dress as a man and pay twice the tuition of others, finally moved the teacher with her determination and agreed to let her enroll.

With Lu Yaoyao's suggestion, he successfully became Liu Wenxuan's classmate.

She sat next to Liu Wenxuan and was not too proactive at first. People like Liu Wenxuan were conservative and might have the pedantry of a scholar. If she was too proactive at the beginning, not only would she fail to arouse his interest, but she would be disgusted by him instead.

Lu Yaoyao listened carefully in every class, and occasionally she would find excuses to ask Liu Wenxuan questions to increase the opportunities for communication between the two.

Seeing that she was studying hard, Liu Wenxuan was willing to teach her.

The two gradually became familiar with each other.

In her spare time, Lu Yaoyao would pretend to casually mention that her parents were strict and she had no freedom and had never experienced anything new, which made Liu Wenxuan agree.

That day, the teacher had something to do at home in the afternoon and could not teach. Liu Wenxuan finally agreed to take Lu Yaoyao to his home for a visit.

Liu Wenxuan's home is located in a simple courtyard on the outskirts of the city. Although it is dilapidated, it is well-maintained. A few wild flowers in the courtyard sway in the wind, revealing an indomitable vitality, just like him.

Lu Yaoyao followed Liu Wenxuan and listened to him talk about his family situation and his optimism about life.

He spoke in a gentle and elegant manner, his eyes sparkling with infinite yearning for the future, a desire for knowledge and a struggle against fate.

"Brother Wenxuan, you are so talented. You will definitely be the top scorer in the imperial examination in the future and bring honor to our family." Lu Yaoyao gave him praise at the right time, her eyes full of sincerity.

Upon hearing this, Liu Wenxuan smiled shyly and said, "No, no, I'm just a humble scholar. I'm lucky to be able to provide for myself. How dare I expect too much?"

Lu Yaoyao paused for a moment, as if thinking seriously, before slowly saying, "Brother Wenxuan, if you don't give up, I'm willing to help you complete your studies and help you go to Beijing to take the exam. I wonder if you are willing."

Upon hearing this, Liu Wenxuan was stunned at first, then a glimmer of disbelief flashed in his eyes, and then quickly dimmed.

"Brother Lu, I appreciate your kindness, but this matter is of great importance. I cannot let you bear such a heavy burden for me." Liu Wenxuan shook his head with a bit of determination in his tone.

Lu Yaoyao was well prepared. She smiled slightly, pulled out a stack of banknotes from her sleeve, and gently placed them on the table. "Brother Wenxuan, I haven't told you yet, but I come from a well-off family, and this money won't be a burden to me. This is a gift from my elders, intended to allow me to travel and broaden my horizons. But I think this money will be more valuable if it's used on you. Just focus on preparing for the exam, and I'll take care of the rest."

Liu Wenxuan looked at the banknotes on the table, his eyes slightly red.
