Reincarnated as the daughter of my mortal enemy, all I want is to ascend the throne.

Chapter 85: A Trip on the Fifth Day of the First Lunar Month

Li Yan raised an eyebrow. "Did you forget you wanted to come out and have fun?"

"I don't know how they grew up to be so stupid. Do kids really get dumber as they grow up? What if their brains really don't work well when they grow up?"

Li Yan frowned slightly, as if he could already see Li Qingyan growing up to be silly and drooling.

He finally sighed.

"Forget it, it's not like we can't afford to raise a mentally challenged person."

There was a sense of resignation and helplessness about it.

Li Yan took out a box and handed it to Li Qingyan, "Take a look."

The sandalwood box exuded a unique woody fragrance, and inside were a pair of silver bracelets. The rabbit patterns engraved on the silver bracelets looked rather rough, not like those made by artisans in the palace.

She glanced at Li Yan, noticing his evasive gaze. A subtle smile played at the corners of her lips.

"Was Old Deng making bracelets the other day, all that clanging and banging?"

The bracelet wasn't particularly round, and Li Qingyan wore it directly on both wrists; the size was just right.

Yan Xu also took out a silver necklace and hung it around Li Qingyan's neck. Below the necklace was a peace lock. The front of the lock had the words "Peace" written on it, and the back had the words "Joy" written on it. There were little rabbits around the words. At the very bottom of the peace lock was a small symbol, which was the Yan family's symbol.

Li Yan glanced at it but didn't say anything.

As the carriage entered the market, the lively sounds outside could be heard.

Yan Xu stepped down first, lifting Li Qingyan from the carriage with one hand and extending the other to Li Yan, saying, "Your Majesty, please get out of the carriage."

Li Yan glanced at it briefly before jumping down, saying, "No need. I am not a woman and do not need anyone's help."

Yan Xu slowly withdrew his hand and placed Li Qingyan on his shoulder.

A person sitting high can see far. Li Qingyan glanced at the several plaques covered with red cloth. The words "Ronglan Residence" could be vaguely seen under the red cloth.

"At the banquet, I saw several Ronglan Residences. What are they for?"

Li Qingyan lowered her head and looked at Yan Xu.

Seeing Li Qingyan suddenly lower her head, Yan Xu held her forehead to prevent her from bumping into him. He didn't care about himself, but he was afraid that if Li Qingyan bumped into him, she would cry from the pain.

"It's a place that sells women's cosmetics. It's moved from another location. It won't open for a while. Is Your Highness interested?"

Li Qingyan's lips twitched. After Yan Xu's sisters got married, he truly hadn't lived with any women again. She patted Yan Xu's cheeks with both hands, "Yan Xu, I'm only four years old, I don't need those things."

Yan Xu let out an "Oh," seemingly a little disappointed.

Li Yan stopped at a stall with a pink rabbit lantern hanging on it, which looked just like a little cub.

Just as he was preparing to compose a couplet, a commotion suddenly broke out in the crowd.

As Yan Xu hurriedly protected Li Yan and Li Qingyan and retreated, a woman rushed towards Li Yan from behind.

"Your Majesty, please be careful."

Yan Xu stood in front of Li Yan, but was stabbed in the back by the man.

Li Yan kicked the man in the chest, turned around, snatched the knife, and slit the man's throat.

"This group is coming for us, let's get out of here."

Li Yan carried Li Qingyan, and Yan Xu followed beside them as they ran outside. The group deliberately drove the three of them into a secluded place.

"Pfft!" Yan Xu spat out a mouthful of black blood; the dagger from before was poisoned.

"Prelude to the banquet." Li Qingyan took out a pill from her small pouch and handed it to him. "Eat it, eat it quickly."

This is an antidote pill, which Doctor Liu and Physician Zhao concocted a few days ago. Even if it cannot completely detoxify, it can alleviate the symptoms.

As the three were running, they were suddenly stopped by a temple that appeared out of nowhere.

The temple doors were locked with large padlocks, and there were some strange patterns on them.

Li Yan narrowed his eyes. "Taihao Temple."

How did it end up here? Before he could think any further, a cold arrow shot out from nowhere and struck Li Yan in the shoulder, causing him and Li Qingyan to fall into the water together.

The icy river water poured into her mouth and nose, and Li Yan used all her strength to hold Li Qingyan up, "Don't be afraid, little brat."

The arrow was also coated with poison, and Li Yan didn't know how long he could last.

Just when he was about to run out of strength, with a "plop," Yan Xu swam to their side.

Li Yan and Yan Xu worked together to support Li Qingyan. The river water was extremely rapid and icy cold, constantly crashing against their bodies.

The longer they stayed in the water, the more dangerous it became. The two exchanged a glance, understanding each other's thoughts. They used all their strength to push Li Qingyan towards the shore.

Soaked in the icy river water, Li Qingyan could no longer speak, and her lips were turning purple. For the first time, she hated that she was a child. She wanted the two of them to let go, hoping they might still have a chance to live.

But the two men insisted on supporting her body and throwing her onto the shore.

The two people, who were already poisoned, used up their last bit of strength and were swallowed by the endless river.

"Dad~"

She managed to let out a sound, but her body wouldn't move. She could only watch helplessly as the two of them were swallowed by the water.

"Flying Fork, save them!"

Flying Fork was extremely anxious but unable to communicate with Li Qingyan. His signal was blocked.

The flying fork was somewhat broken in space.

What are you trying to do? What exactly are you trying to do?

The little boy pounded on the surrounding barriers but couldn't open them. The flying fork had lost control once again.

The screen displayed several large characters: Taihao Temple temporarily blocks system access number 11290.

【ah!!!】

"Collapse...Warning...Collapse warning!!! System 11290 has crashed!! Warning! Warning!"

The flying fork was forcibly suppressed and fell into a deep sleep, while red light continued to flash within the space.

"Warning: System consciousness has detached from the program. Warning: System 11290's emotions are developing too rapidly, detaching from the program. Warning..."

A despair more intense than death flashed in Li Qingyan's eyes, and blood gushed from her mouth.

Unable to contact Flying Fork, she knew it wasn't that Flying Fork had abandoned her. It was...

She looked towards the Taihao Temple.

This is all her fault for not completing her previous tasks properly, which led to a chaotic and fused worldview and a downgrade of her system privileges.

The dominant god of this world can hinder the system.

This is the hidden punishment from the Lord God.

There is a rule when the system is bound to the host: the system will not actively eliminate the host.

But how did those hosts die?

Li Qingyan also spent a long time figuring it out: the Main God System had a hidden punishment mechanism that lowered the system's privileges. This caused the host to be suppressed by the dominant god of the world they inhabited, and ultimately…

If the main god wants to kill the host, it has nothing to do with the main god system, as the main god system has never violated the agreement.

Li Yan once said that the number of people in this world who could harm Yan Xu could be counted on one hand, and today's matter is definitely not that simple.

After Li Yan and Yan Xu fell into the water, their pursuers disappeared.

Is this a man-made disaster?

I'm afraid it's not just a man-made disaster.

She had lost all feeling in her hands and feet and slowly crawled toward the temple in front of her.

"Why should Li Yan die? Why should Yan Xu die?"

She pounded her hand on the golden-red gate again and again, and blood began to flow down her palm, dripping into the cracks in the stone below the gate.

Golden light flowed over her, but this was no blessing. It was punishment for forcibly entering the Taihao Temple.

However, considering that she was still a child, the punishment was somewhat lenient.

"puff"

Li Qingyan coughed up a mouthful of blood, but she continued to slap herself regardless of her physical condition.

"Li Yan is the ruler of the land, why can't you tolerate him?"

Li Qingyan pounded heavily on the door.

Blood seeped from her skin, and in no time she was covered in blood, her clothes stained red.

The blood flowed backward, climbing up the crack until it reached above the lock.

'Buzz'

'Buzz'

'Buzz'

The iron lock hummed, and a flash of red light appeared.

A sigh echoed from the void, "Another one who doesn't value his life."

A golden phoenix flew out from the depths of the Taihao Temple, its golden feathers glowing in the night sky.

It landed beside Li Qingyan and nudged her head with its beak.

Seeing that the person had already fainted, a tear flowed from its eye and onto its beak. It then dripped into Li Qingyan's mouth.

Phoenix tears can revive the dead and heal the wounded.

A voice came from the void, "Enough, enough. You're not on duty today. Do whatever you want; it's none of my business."
