After all, the system is on the side of the object of compensation.

"Di Muxi, ah Di Muxi, at heart you are a stubborn, tyrannical person with a strong desire for control."

Bai Yaoyao sighed, if she hadn't been so aggressive in killing people, she wouldn't have reached the point where she is half a step into the abyss.

But it’s also good this way. She is very happy to be able to complete a task point so easily. As long as the last task point is completed, she can leave this world.

Soon, Bai Yaoyao finished writing the letter. Bai Xiaolu was extremely shocked after reading it, but had to agree after repeated requests from the princess. She made a unique mark on the small paper roll and tied it to the leg of the white pigeon. With the reminder sound of the task point completed from the system, the pigeon flew into the air and quickly disappeared into the night.

This hard-earned opportunity to pass on the message was lost. There will never be another good opportunity like this when thousands of officials gather for dinner. It is difficult for carrier pigeons to fly into the palace, and even if they do, they will easily be discovered.

"Yao Yao..."

Bai Xiaolu came back with a pout, because she had no idea what the princess had experienced during the past few days when she was taken away by Di Muxi. Looking at her delicate appearance now, she thought that she had been hit by a sugar-coated cannon and had fallen in love with the empress again. She immediately became jealous.

"Princess, why did you write like that? The Empress is definitely not a good person."

Seeing this, Bai Yaoyao could only smile with her eyes slightly narrowed, and reached out to rub Lu'er's head to comfort her.

"Yes, I forgot again. If I leave after completing the last mission, what should I do with Lu'er who is left behind?"

Once this thought arises in my mind, it cannot be dispelled and is firmly nailed in my mind.

"What should I do?"

Bai Yaoyao lay back on the bed, looking at Lu'er's cute little face sideways and feeling very anxious. After thinking it over, she felt that improving Di Muxi's favorability was the most effective way.

"We still have to find a chance to pull Di Muxi into the dream world and try again."

Chapter 49: Dream in Progress (Part 1)

In the following days, the palace was filled with the joyful atmosphere of the New Year. Even many people from the martial arts world were invited to the palace to perform acrobatics and special skills for envoys from many countries and the empress. This naturally attracted many people in the Dahuang Kingdom, which was short of entertainment, and the performance venues were crowded every day.

Similarly, Di Muxi, who had originally had a sad face, was smiling the whole day after receiving Qi Guo's particularly friendly willingness to cooperate, and she looked at everyone with particular favor. Although she was still a little puzzled why Qi Guo did not trip her up at this time, she thought about it and found a reason - perhaps Qi Guo had been convinced by her.

In any case, the plan to import large quantities of grain from Qi State has been finalized. With a huge material foundation, Di Muxi has also gained confidence in the subsequent top-down national reforms.

On the other hand, after Bai Yaoyao's careful waiting, she finally found an opportunity to pull Di Muxi into the dream on the fifth day of the seventh year of Zhaosheng after the New Festival. Unlike the past, this time Bai Yaoyao planned to make some changes - such as a more radical way of whitewashing.

………………

"I'm having this dream again."

Di Muxi hadn't come to this dream world for a long time. She didn't expect to come again on this day. It seemed that she didn't go to bed early today.

Besides the darkness, there was also a strong smell of blood mixed with the smell of weeds and soil that lingered around my nose.

"By the way, when the last dream ended, I was pushed off the cliff by Bai Xinyi."

However, what surprised Di Muxi was that she did not feel any pain this time. She remembered her previous dream very clearly, and any feedback could appear on her body, but now it seemed that all the pain had disappeared.

She remembered very clearly that after she fell off the cliff, she suffered more than a dozen fractures all over her body. She was in a coma for three days before she recovered, and it took her another month to regain the ability to move.

Little did people know that Bai Yaoyao had cancelled it on purpose. Yaoyao felt that although it was realistic with a sense of abuse, it would be more difficult to gain favorability.

Time passed slowly, and Di Muxi somewhat enjoyed the feeling of being unconscious. There was no pain at all, and her nose could smell her favorite scent of soil, especially soil that had just rained, mixed with the scent of fragrant grass, which was particularly pleasant.

The patter of raindrops fell across the surrounding environment, and my whole mind became peaceful, giving me the illusion that I had merged with the world and become an immortal.

"If I remember correctly, it was the Mu'er she saved during the influence."

As Di Muxi was thinking this, she vaguely felt the noise coming from a distance. It lasted for a long time before she was finally discovered.

"Finally found her. I don't know what the princess was thinking. She didn't even go up the mountain because she couldn't find the girl."

"Who knows? Hundreds of people finally climbed to the middle of the mountain, and all the supplies stored there were used up. The princess can't say she won't go up."

Listening to the conversation between the soldiers, Di Muxi felt Mu'er's body being carried up by two soldiers on a stretcher. The conversation between the two people on the way continued, and their tone was full of resentment.

"Now, this guy slipped and fell off the cliff. We spent two hours searching for him."

"And the reward money is gone!" another soldier added.

"That's not necessarily true. I heard from the princess that as long as we find this Mu'er, today's reward will be doubled."

"That's great. Then we have to go to Qingyue Tower and have some fun."

Di Muxi didn't care about what happened afterwards, as most of it was just flirting between two soldiers, which was really disgusting.

"It seems that Bai Yaoyao cared so much about Mu'er when she was a child? But why have I never heard of it?"

Di Muxi was very confused. There was no record of this in her memory. This was also what dominated her sensory thoughts about Bai Yaoyao. After all, real memories were much more credible than dreams.

But soon, Di Muxi's doubts were answered. When Mu'er was still unconscious on the hospital bed after receiving treatment from the imperial physician, Di Muxi heard the whispers of the maids outside the house.

"Have you heard? The princess seemed to have been beaten and scolded by His Majesty and the Queen, and was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for a long time."

"It's fake. His Majesty loves the princess so much, how could he bear to let her kneel in the ancestral hall?"

"I'm telling you this in secret, don't spread it around. I just heard it from other people, I don't know if it's true or not."

"It is said that the princess insisted on being friends with a servant this time, but His Majesty did not allow it."

"that's it?"

Another maid who was watching was shocked: "Your Majesty is so wise, why would he punish the princess because of a servant?"

"I don't know that."

…………

"The servant was talking about Mu'er?"

Di Muxi thought about it carefully and understood, because two years ago when they were playing snowball fights, Mu'er mixed stones into the snow pile and threw them on Bai Yaoyao's head, and the Emperor of Qi State found out. Now that he knew the princess was so close to the murderer, he would definitely not agree.

But being able to punish Bai Yaoyao by making her kneel in the ancestral hall... does that mean Bai Yaoyao cares about her so much that she is even willing to argue with the Emperor of Qi?

Compared with this possibility, Di Muxi still believes that Bai Yaoyao is a spoiled girl who became rebellious after being scolded.

Time in dreams is always unpredictable. It feels like a whole month has passed, but it also seems like only a moment has passed.

In a trance, when I woke up again and saw Bai Yaoyao again, it was already spring time for me to go to the ice lake for fun.

After not seeing each other for a month, the pink ball seemed to have become much colder again. Di Muxi knew that she vaguely heard Bai Yaoyao on a hunger strike while kneeling in the ancestral hall, and in the end, the Emperor of Qi Kingdom surrendered.

"Mu'er, are you okay?"

The pink ball had her hair tied up in a princess style with a beautiful jeweled hairpin on it with tassels hanging from it, swaying as she walked.

The warm pink winter outfit made the little guy look very cute, but inexplicably, his previous lively temperament became a little cold and calm.

"Ah."

Mu'er hated Bai Yaoyao even more because she noticed the skirt and clothes material of the man who pushed her.

The material could only be worn by the princess, and the people closest to her must have been instructed to push her down on purpose. If she hadn't been lucky enough to have survived...

"You seem unhappy all the time. Did those people bully you again?"

The pink ball raised her pink fist and said, "Tell me, I'll help you teach them a lesson."

Di Muxi watched quietly from the side. She no longer remembered what happened in those scenes. She only remembered that she was pushed under the icy lake by Bai Yaoyao in the end. This would stay with her for the rest of her life.

Chapter 50: The Dream in Progress

"Oh, help me get revenge? I think you are just trying to attract hatred for me."

Mu'er just sneered in her heart, and regarded Bai Yaoyao's actions as all hypocrisy, all for the sake of maintaining her gentleness and kindness as a princess. After all, she had seen this princess often visit and comfort some of the hostages who were often excluded. As for the result, needless to say - she would only be excluded even more severely!

"It's okay, I just miss home."

When Mu'er mentioned the so-called home, she felt nauseous. If it wasn't for revenge for her mother, she would rather rot outside than go back.

"Okay then, let's go ice skating to relax."

Fentuanzi took Mu'er to the logistics department to put on special ice skates.

Di Muxi knew that this activity was a recreational sport specially developed by Qi Country. It is obvious that ice in the north is more difficult to melt, but it was Qi Country, where the ice age lasted for a shorter time, that developed this form of entertainment. It became popular in the second winter after Muer came to Qi Country, and it was now being promoted thoroughly this winter.

It has to be said that when it comes to eating, drinking and having fun, even all the countries combined cannot compare to Qi Country.

The so-called ice skates are two relatively smooth iron plates about one finger wide fixed on the bottom of special thick cowhide shoes. They are very expensive. For example, a pair of thick cowhide shoes needs to be made from the cowhide of the body and hind legs of an adult cow. The cowhide in these parts is very luxurious.

The most important thing is that cowhide cannot be old, only adult hides must be used. Cows are the most effective production tools for farming. If you catch and slaughter them when they are at their strongest working age to make the so-called ice skates...only the royal family of Qi State can make them.

Di Muxi asked herself if it was impossible for her to kill cows to do such an absurd thing. Even if she wanted to eat beef, she would find a few old cows, the kind that only had a few months to live, to slaughter.

"This is really fun. Now is the transition period between winter and spring, and the ice is the thickest. We won't fall down."

Mu'er put on her skates with the help of the maid, and Di Muxi noticed something different. She found that Bai Yaoyao's articulation was much clearer. Could it be that she was forced to study during this month?

Needless to say, things went on little by little as Di Muxi had guessed. Mu'er was intrigued. Although she had never played ice skating before, she got very excited right away. She started out slowly, skating as she walked, and then gradually increased her speed, showing a high level of comprehension.

Immediately afterwards, Mu'er, who was the most fluent in skating, was noticed by Bai Yaoyao and was called to teach the princess how to skate.

It turns out that the princess doesn’t know how to skate.

The teaching lasted for half an hour, but the five-year-old princess still hadn't learned it. Mu'er had long been impatient, but due to the princess's intimidation, she could only pretend to be patient and repeat teaching one skill after another.

"If I had known I wouldn't have learned so quickly. I should have pretended to be dumber."

Mu'er looked around and it seemed that those hostage princes who were much older than her were not as good as her.

After all, this entertainment has only matured this year, and basically everyone is playing it for the first time.

"Let's go play somewhere farther away. There are too many people here, and it affects my performance!"

The princess could only stand with difficulty after many attempts. She would fall if she slipped even a little. She felt a little embarrassed and annoyed, and attributed her inability to learning to the people sliding around her.

"Let's go then."

The jealous eyes around her also made Mu'er feel a little uncomfortable, and the more people there were, the more constraints she had. She was afraid that any impoliteness to the princess would be used as a reason for punishment and bullying by that group of people.

What the two didn't know was that as they slid further away, the thickness of the ice was gradually decreasing, even leaving the carefully surveyed safe area.

It only took a short while. By the time a palace maid noticed it, it was very inconvenient for her to rush over because the ice surface was too slippery. By the time she shouted loudly to attract Mu'er and Yaoyao's attention, it was too late.

The thin ice surface had been cracked by the princess's blade, which was made of better material, and it was spreading at a rapid speed. The cracking sounds were heard in geometric multiples.

No one knew why the ice surface, which was so solid on weekdays, suddenly began to break.

Even Di Muxi, who was watching from the side, was full of doubts. Even if the ice was uneven in thickness, it was impossible for it to become so thin over such a short distance. It was even more impossible for it to break after just a few steps by two girls who weighed less than 100 pounds together.

It is very likely man-made - for example, the ice in some areas was broken up the night before, so that the ice formed overnight was very thin.

Di Muxi frowned, and the '卍' symbol instantly appeared in his mind. Could it be that this mysterious organization wanted to assassinate Bai Yaoyao? But how did they know for sure that Yaoyao and Mu'er would definitely go to that area?

And what's the point of assassinating Bai Yaoyao? Did they want to use Mu'er's 'murder' of the princess as a fuse to instigate Qi Kingdom to launch a war against Dahuang Women's Kingdom?

There is no way to discuss what happened more than ten years ago, and now it is just an extremely real dream. It is meaningless even if any clues are found.

In the dream world, Mu'er felt terrified when she found that dense cracks were constantly appearing under her feet, with her feet as the center.

She shouldn't have run so far with this damn princess. Now, she was about to fall into this extremely cold ice cave and would surely die.

The palace maid had quickly discovered the problem and was anxiously looking for a way to help. At this moment, a small piece of ice next to her had broken, revealing the extremely cold lake water. Looking at the thickness of the ice, it was only three fingers wide.

“It’s only this thin!”

Mu'er's face looked extremely ugly, her whole body was stiff and she dared not move at all. The pink ball curled up in Mu'er's arms was so scared that she didn't even dare to make a sound, but her slightly trembling body was enough to reveal the princess's fear.

Soon, outside in the thick ice area, a palace maid swung over an extremely thick rope and indicated that it should be tied around the princess. At the same time, more ropes were being sent over from not far away.

The idea outside was to tie his body to the princess, then crawl on the ice and drag her over. Even if the ice broke and exposed the bottom of the lake, he could still pull her up as quickly as possible.

Mu'er had no other choice. Although she really wanted to tie the rope around herself, if the princess could not survive, she would also die. Only if the princess was alive would she have a chance to survive.

He stretched out his hand and squatted, barely hooking his body and pulling it over, then carefully wrapped it around the princess' waist and crotch repeatedly. In the process, several pieces of ice broke around the small ice hole. Mu'er could even feel the ice under her feet shaking slightly!

"There's one more!"

Soon another rope was thrown over, and the other ropes were constantly lengthening the soldier's section to ensure that after it was delivered to the princess and tied up, there would still be enough distance for someone to grab onto.

Mu'er put the tied princess aside and signaled her to leave quickly, then grabbed her own rope and was about to tie it around herself.

Bai Yaoyao pushed her hard, and she was caught off guard and fell onto the ice.

In just a moment, the thin ice shattered and Mu'er fell into the cold lake.

"Is that so?"
