The Metaphysical Little Beggar's Rebirth: I'm an Unlucky Star

Chapter 181 The Emperor's Plan

Shu Wanwan stared closely at the eyes of the man in front of her, and a sense of déjà vu came over her heart.

She thought to herself that she seemed to have seen these eyes somewhere before.

But no matter how hard she racked her brains to recall, she still couldn't remember who had such a unique pair of eyes.

You know, she has always been known for her photographic memory, and this has never happened before.

Is all this just my own illusion?

Or is it because he has been in a fantasy world for a long time, causing him to be in a trance and produce false memories?

At this moment, Dai Yan noticed Shu Wanwan's strange behavior and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Shu Wanwan shook her head slightly and replied, "Nothing, I just feel a little strange."

"Perhaps it's just as I thought. I've stayed in this fantasy world for too long and have suffered some negative effects."

Hearing this, Dai Yan nodded to show her understanding.

"Then let's hurry up."

Then she put away her concerned look, waved forward, and signaled everyone to speed up and move forward.

…………

The scene changed, and Dai Yan had already embarked on the journey back to her country.

The various events that occurred during this trip are still vivid in my mind.

There are some important matters that she must report clearly to the emperor in person.

After all, what is coming will eventually come, and avoiding it will not solve any problem.

Seeing that they were halfway back to the country, the exhausted people decided to take a break in an inn and have a meal to replenish their energy.

However, what Dai Yan did not expect was that just as they were about to enter the inn, they ran into the confidant whom she had specially sent back to deliver the message.

The man was obviously also very surprised to meet here. After a brief moment of astonishment, he quickly said, "General..."

Dai Yan carefully stretched out her jade hand and gently held the man's wrist.

Her eyes looked around quickly and smartly.

After confirming that there was no one else around and hearing the man's name, she gave him a meaningful look and then slowly shook her head.

This subtle action seemed to hint to the man: There are many people here and you must not speak easily.

Daiyan opened her red lips and asked softly, "Why haven't you received a reply in such a long time? Did the letter I asked you to bring back reach its destination safely?"

The man immediately understood and quickly replied, "Young Madam, please rest assured, this is the reply."

After saying this, he respectfully handed over two letters.

Dai Yan first took the first letter and her eyes fell on the handwriting.

At a glance, she recognized that it was written by the current emperor. The font was vigorous and powerful, revealing a sense of majesty.

However, when her gaze moved to the second letter, her eyes, which had been as calm as water, suddenly became extremely bright.

Dai Yan suddenly raised her head, stared closely at the man's face, and asked anxiously,

"Young Master Ye... is awake?" His excitement could not be concealed in his words.

The man nodded slightly in confirmation and said, "That's right, the young master has woken up."

Hearing this news, Dai Yan felt relieved. She couldn't help but lower her head again, gently stroking the envelope in her hand, and muttered to herself: "It's been three years... You finally woke up..."

Then, Dai Yan opened the letter slowly and began to read it carefully word by word.

Although the letter was not long, it was filled with endless gratitude and longing, which made Daiyan's heart tremble.

Dai Yan felt as if she had broken free from an extremely heavy chain, and her whole body became relaxed and comfortable.

The person she could rely on woke up.

I saw her carefully stretching out her fingers, as gentle as a feather, gently touching the thin piece of letter paper.

Looking closely, there were actually a few tiny water stains on the letter paper, as if they were someone's tears.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, forming a shallow arc.

As the ancients said, men don't shed tears easily, but only when they are heartbroken.

At this moment, a male voice suddenly rang out: "Young Madam..."

The man's voice broke the silence and interrupted Dai Yan's thoughts.

Dai Yan did not seem panicked. She raised her head calmly and slowly turned her gaze to the man who spoke.

Obviously, she already knew what the man was about to say.

Then, as if she had made up her mind, Dai Yan reached out without hesitation and picked up another letter on the table and gently unfolded it.

Ye Qin woke up, so she had to guess what the emperor was going to say.

As her eyes moved across the letter, her expression gradually became solemn.

As she expected, the general content of the letter was to inform her that Ye Qin had awakened and had the ability to take over the Ye family army again.

At the same time, the letter also ordered Dai Yan to lead the spies of the Northern Kingdom to continue to stay in the Northern Kingdom and lie on standby.

Find the right time to take action and cooperate with domestic forces.

After Dai Yan read the entire letter silently, she already understood the emperor's true intention.

——He was not willing to return to his country.

This mission, although it was called a mission, was more like getting her away and preventing her from returning to the country.

Because the Ye family now controls a large number of troops, if two people who can control military power appear in the capital at the same time, it will inevitably arouse the emperor's suspicion and worry.

After all, under the emperor's feet, any force that is too powerful may pose a threat to the throne.

What's more, ever since the marriage of the Holy Maiden of the Yuchi family, the Ye family has been framed and slandered many times, but the emperor has always remained silent and ignored it.

Now that I think about it, all this is probably due to the emperor's fear of the Ye family.

When Saint Yuchi was still alive, her power was enough to check and balance the Ye family.

The so-called saint girl of the Yuchi family is now just a name, and must be in the emperor's control. He knows everything.

Under such circumstances, the emperor made full use of his resources and sent Yuchi Xiaosheng to marry.

If the Saintess of the Yuchi family no longer exists, the Ye family will definitely become the dominant family.

At this time, rumors spread by spies from the Northern Kingdom began to spread and ferment.

Back then, the Ye family had also experienced decline, but the emperor at that time actually let it go.

He did nothing, but sometimes, inaction is the same as action.

Even though the emperor acted in this way, he still left behind evidence of the Northern Kingdom's rumors.

But the evidence is not enough, that is, the dark web list of the Northern Kingdom in the Li Kingdom, and the officials who are deep in the court.

He is investigating, but he cannot act rashly.

This shows that deep in his heart, he still retained a trace of friendship for his subjects.

General Ye is dead and Ye Qin is in a coma.

He was hesitant until Dai Yan appeared. He promised to clear the name of the Ye family if the Northern Kingdom was destroyed.

Dai Yan's appearance at that time was not a threat, but a timely help.

But now everything is different, Ye Qin has woken up.

The Ye family and the Yuchi family formed an alliance through marriage.

Although Dai Yan never made public the awakening of her bloodline, no one knew that she had inherited the ability of the Saint, and later her bloodline disappeared.

As long as these evidences can be made public, the decline and rumors facing the Ye family can be easily resolved.

The Ye family will dominate again.

The emperor was suspicious after all, so he couldn't let Dai Yan go back.

"Zuo Jue." Dai Yan opened her red lips and called the name of her confidant softly.

"Yes, young madam." Zuo Jue responded quickly.

He naturally knew the emperor's true intention. The emperor originally planned to keep them all with Ye Qin.

After a long wait, he finally won the precious opportunity to deliver the letter.

Although in his eyes, the emperor's actions were not righteous, as a subject, there were some things he really couldn't say.

"Where's the Hundred Drums?"

Dai Yan then asked about the situation of another confidant she had sent out.

Left decision, hundred drums.

These two names may sound ordinary, but they are of great significance to them.

Because this is the name given to them by General Ye.

They were both orphans picked up by General Ye and brought into the army.

When talking about General Ye, he always joked that he was not very educated.

But he also took the trouble to give his two children names that were full of meaning.
