Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

Ying Nanyao had never even mentioned this treasure to his mother.

Neither her brother nor she knew about it.

It must be said that Ying Nanyao and Old Liu were both extremely secretive in this matter.

The most ridiculous thing is that in the dream, the wicked young southern barbarian national advisor, after joining forces with the three kingdoms of Dongchen and Xilin to invade Beixuan,

Ying Nanyao and Old Lady Liu actually knelt down and begged for mercy, revealing the secret of the treasure in exchange for their lives.

What they wanted in exchange was only for the survival of themselves, mother and son, not for their mother, her, or their brother.

Ying Hengzhi smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes.

Because in her dream, she only learned after becoming empress that she and her brother were not Ying Nanyao's biological children.

Even the child that was born but never reached its birth was not Ying Nanyao's.

Ying Nanyao only learned of this secret later, but at the time, she and her brother held high positions of power, and Ying Nanyao did not have the authority to reveal it, so she kept it to herself.

It seems now that children who aren't one's own can't be relied upon.

A cold, indifferent smile played on Ying Hengzhi's lips as she silently called out, "Myth brother, are you alright? Are you awake?"

After she finished calling out, she waited quietly.

She wasn't in a hurry and just waited quietly.

She could sense that her assistance system was still working.

Sure enough, after waiting for about a dozen breaths, she suddenly heard a crackling sound of electricity in her mind.

Before long, a clear male voice rang in her mind.

[Host, long time no see! How have you been?]

"Myna, do you remember what happened before you went into hibernation? What's going on with us now? Is it time travel, or did we foresee it?" Ying Hengzhi asked.

[Host, neither is correct.]

System 008's answer surprised Ying Hengzhi.

008's tone was very serious as he said, "Host, it's an awakening. Someone has awakened to their destiny and altered it, causing a huge deviation in your life trajectory, which indirectly led to your awakening."

Ying Hengzhi clenched her fists suddenly. "My life trajectory has indeed taken a huge turn. Now, because I cannot have children, I have become the Second Prince's concubine and live in the Green Bamboo Courtyard."

Ying Yufu, who should have lived here, was betrothed by the Emperor to the Crown Prince as his principal wife, and Shangguan Tang also divorced Ying Nanyao.

After listening, 008 said, "It seems the unexpected turn of events will involve either Ying Yufu or Shangguan Tang."

"It's Ying Yufu. I have a feeling that something must be wrong with Ying Yufu," Ying Hengzhi said with certainty.

008 said: "Since you are so sure, things will develop in ways that neither of us can predict in the future."

We must intervene and, according to our plan, regain control of the world.

Ying Hengzhi, however, thought of the final scene in her dream, where she and the new emperor were tortured to the point of wishing they were dead.

She shuddered. "Myna, according to our plan, in the end, we'll still end up like in the dream. I never want to experience that kind of pain again!"

Ying Hengzhi's face was full of rejection.

008 was silent for a while before saying: "Host, I know you are very afraid of that kind of ending, and I also really don't want to see that kind of ending."

So now that we've awakened and know that our original plan would lead to disaster, let's avoid the risks that the original plan would entail.

Actually, our plan was successful. Cang Mingze successfully became the new emperor, and you successfully became the empress. Everything was a success, wasn't it?

The unexpected turn of events was due to that young, barbarian national advisor.

All these changes originated from that young southern barbarian national advisor. We must find him and nip him in the bud, or perhaps win him over and use him as a stepping stone.

【But where are we going to find that boy? Should we go to the Southern Barbarians?】 Mentioning that boy made Ying Hengzhi feel very agitated.

That boy was the root of all evil that destroyed everything she had.

If she could have found him earlier, she would have killed him. What was the point of trying to win him over? She was terrified whenever she saw him, so how could she possibly try to win him over?

She wanted to kill him to eliminate any future trouble.

008 remained calm: "Host, do you remember? That boy brutally murdered Xuanjing, who was your biological father."

You might as well approach Xuanjing beforehand and try to find out about the boy's secrets from him.

After all, given the boy's hatred for Xuanjing, they must know each other and have a grudge against each other.

Ying Hengzhi's somewhat agitated mood gradually calmed down, and she wholeheartedly agreed: "Brother Ba, you're right, I should go and get closer to my biological father."

However, before that, I need to have the right to freely enter and leave the Second Prince's residence.

As a concubine, she was not allowed to leave the mansion at will.

Normally, as a concubine, she would never leave this mansion in her entire life.

Unless she is particularly favored, her master will allow her to go out occasionally, or take her with him when he goes out as a sign of affection.

But these are not what she wants.

She was once a high and mighty empress, but now she has fallen to this state. How could she possibly accept it?

System 008 clearly understood Ying Hengzhi's feelings; to change her fate, she needed at least the right to freedom of action.

[System task check in progress, please wait...]

Hearing the familiar notification tone, Ying Hengzhi felt a sense of peace.

In the dream, every time the host gives her a task, she will receive a reward for completing it.

This is why she was able to reach the peak so smoothly in her dream.

For her, the system was like a guiding light.

[Ding! System task detection successful. Please help the Second Prince obtain the treasure in Huang An's Tomb on Jade Plate Mountain and master the method of controlling puppet soldiers. This will become an effective means for the host to win over the Second Prince.]

The task deadline is three days.

[Huang An's Tomb on Jade Plate Mountain? Isn't that the secret treasure trove controlled by Ying Nanyao?]

Ying Hengzhi was taken aback.

Yes, host. Because of the changes that happened to Ying Yufu, Shangguan Tang and Ying Nanyao divorced, and you lost the support of Shangguan Tang's dowry.

The Second Prince is secretly training a private army; he needs money. If you help him obtain the treasures from Huang An's tomb, it will be a tremendous boon for him, and he will realize your value as a result.

Ying Hengzhi felt a pang of sympathy.

She was somewhat reluctant to give all those treasures to the Second Prince.

She wanted to keep it as her trump card.

Moreover, the Second Prince was different from the one in the dream. In the dream, the Second Prince only had her, and even when it came to Ying Yufu, the Second Prince never touched her.

Instead, they cooperated with her and sent Ying Yufu to a brothel.

But now, the Second Prince has Duan Linglong.

She was no longer the only one by his side.

Seemingly sensing her thoughts, 008 sighed softly: "Host, I don't want this either, but my level is not high enough and you don't have enough points. We can't even exchange for a space."

You don't have the space; how can you take the treasures from Huang An's tomb? You can only entrust them to the Second Prince; he has the means to secretly transport them away.
