Chapter 734: Activate Trap Card: Book of Ages

"…The imperial court allocated 500,000 taels of silver to build the Jishan Academy. The main purpose is to train you, the children of the royal family. We hope that you can grow up to be talented and outstanding, and help the emperor solve his problems."

There are two portraits hanging in the auditorium, one tall and one short.

One is the Emperor Taizu of the current dynasty, and the other is the great sage and saint teacher.

On the tablet in the middle are written five large characters: "Heaven, Earth, Emperor, Parents, and Teacher."

The old master led a group of young men in black and bowed respectfully to the portraits and tablets.

The rich scent of sandalwood wafted through the window frame, making Li Mumu sneeze subconsciously.

"Anchor successful!"

[You are Mu Hanyan, the fourth-generation concubine of Prince Mu’s Mansion. You are ordered to go to Jishan Academy to accompany your studies...]

Li Mumu: "???"

Ah this...

She turned her head and saw Shen Qingxi, who also looked confused and puzzled.

[You saw a familiar person, she is your best friend Shen Yun. ]

[You vaguely recall that three years ago you were both selected by the Jinyi Secret Guards, received training, and became Princess Zhaoning's personal guards.]

[You vaguely recall that in your previous life you were a great demon who had cultivated successfully. Because you failed to survive the calamity, you were reincarnated as a human, but you also retained some of your previous life's cultivation and memories...]

Okay, okay, stop making it up.

Even if he fails to pass the tribulation, he can still be reincarnated as a human. What kind of demon can have such a good thing?
After several successful cross-dimensional anchoring experiences, Li Mumu gradually realized that this mysterious voice that always appeared in his mind was like a self-programmed AI.

After successfully anchoring, it can always write a set of reasonable identity information just right and embed itself into this world.

So……

Was my name before I traveled through time really Li Mumu?
Think carefully.

At this time, she heard someone say inside: "Let's end the get out of class. Yu Bing stays here first."

A moment later, the rest of the black-clad teenagers filed out, seemingly completely unaware of her and Shen Qingxi's presence.

It was a long time before Xia Yubing came out.

She still has the refreshing and simple short hair style, but it looks much more tender and white.

This was the first time Li Mumu saw her appearance when she was alive...the black and white photos didn't count.

Xia Yubing stood at the door in silence for a while, then turned to look at Li Mumu and Shen Qingxi.

"Let's go."

She just said it lightly.

Leaving the yard and coming outside, looking at the slightly familiar garden landscape around him, Li Mumu instantly realized that this was Jishan Academy.

It was just the Jishan Academy ten years ago.

"Are you awake?"

Walking to a secluded corner where no one was paying attention, Xia Yubing suddenly turned around and asked.

"woke up!"

"Why did Your Highness say this?"

Shen Qingxi, who answered first, turned around and looked at Li Mumu in surprise: "Sister Zhu Hong, you..."

"Are you playing me?"

Nonsense, can't your robotic brain think carefully about how we got here?

I was just arguing with the handsome old guy.

In the blink of an eye, the old hen turned into a duck. The lives of five hundred thousand people turned into five hundred thousand taels of silver.

The transition was so smooth that I didn't even realize I had stepped into someone's trap.

Shouldn't we be more cautious at this time?

Li Mumu rolled her eyes at her and continued to play dumb.

"Your Highness..."

“Do you think this is my memory?”

Xia Yubing shook her head and said, "My last name is Xia, but I am not from the royal family. My father is just an ordinary landlord, and my ancestors for three generations have no connection with the royal family of the previous dynasty."

I see. You are the descendant of Prince Jing of Zhongshan, right?
Shen Qingxi was puzzled and asked: "Then why do they still call you Princess Zhaoning?"

"This is the posthumous title I was given after my death."

"Eh?"

Shen Qingxi was confused when he heard this: "Why? Of course, if you don't feel comfortable telling me, then just pretend I never asked!"

"There's nothing I can't say."

Xia Yubing looked at the students laughing and playing in the distance and said coldly, "If I don't say anything myself, will I just let them whitewash this history and dress it up as they want?"

"It is true that the imperial court allocated 500,000 taels of silver to build the Jishan Academy. It is also true that the imperial court recruited Xia family members to study in the hope of cultivating outstanding talents to assist the royal family. The entire plan was proposed and led by Kong Shu, and then approved by the then regent Prince Qian. The young emperor at the time was just a human seal."

"But the 500,000 taels of silver were never allocated. At that time, the court was already short of funds, and the Ministry of Revenue could not even take out a penny. Kong Shu suggested using the palace treasury, and Prince Qian agreed. He sold a batch of royal assets and took 200,000 taels from them."

"Then we hired great scholars from all over the country and spent another 200,000 taels to buy this piece of land and build a few small buildings and repair the gardens. The account book was completely cleared. Later, we had no choice but to use the school's assets to obtain a loan from a foreign bank. We barely borrowed 200,000 taels, and then Jishan Academy was able to open its doors and enroll students."

Shen Qingxi asked curiously, "Are they the students just now? They all look very energetic, but why haven't I heard of this? Even my grandfather didn't tell me about it."

"It would be nice if there really were such a group of people."

Xia Yubing shook her head and said, "My father spent a huge amount of money to get me a place in school. He didn't expect me to learn anything real here. He just wanted to take this opportunity to get a little bit of royal aura so that he could put some gold on my face when we talk about marriage in the future."

"Most of the Xia family members who were recruited are like this. There are many idlers and uneducated people among them. They were all sent here by their parents to get a glimpse of talent. The court is so corrupt and rotten that it has long lost the support of the people. Anyone with a little bit of brains knows to find a way to survive. No one takes this matter seriously."

"And I... I finally got a chance to go to school and study, and I cherish it very much. But as a girl, I have no right to sit in the classroom and listen to lectures with other boys."

"The bright and prosperous scene you see now is just a picture made up by those old masters. Just like Master Jin, he didn't even remember who I was. But... he finally remembered who I was, because I did something big back then."

"I went to assassinate the President."

"wait!"

Shen Qingxi took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

"I have a bad stomach and can't swallow such a big melon. Please speak slowly... Who did you say you wanted to assassinate?"

"The current president, the commander of the newly formed Black Jade Kylin Army that guarded Tianmen back then, Xu Ziwei."

"I'd better squat and listen... I feel a little upset. What do you want if it's not my sister?"

“I was young at that time and my thoughts were quite radical.”

Xia Yubing shrugged and said, "I felt that being with that bunch of bugs was not enough to accomplish anything great. It just so happened that the President came to inspect the school, so I hid my gun on me and went over."

"And then you died?"

"No, the assassination attempt failed, and the president praised me for my courage and said that I didn't do anything to me. But those old guys were scared to death, and that night they put drugs in my food, strangled me to death, and sent me to the president's tent to apologize."

"...I didn't expect this to happen. What's next?"

"And then? Then the president said that the last bit of blood of the 500-year-old dynasty was destroyed in the hands of you corrupt scholars. Three thousand male descendants of the Xia family are not as good as a woman. The emperors of all dynasties may not be able to close their eyes in their graves."

"After that, they felt ashamed and embarrassed, so they went home and punished themselves with three cups of wine. The court also issued an edict, and the young emperor recognized me as his sister and posthumously named me Princess Zhaoning."

Xia Yubing sneered, "It's only been ten years, and the old gentleman's memory is already unreliable. They suddenly remembered that I, Princess Zhaoning, seemed to be a real princess, an outstanding talent who was carefully taught and cultivated by them. It's a pity that the beauty was envied by heaven, and she died before she could kill the traitor."
