Unforgettable Emperor’s Favor

26. The Assassin (3)

“I can’t sleep, I’m already up.”

Yu Qingya had the maid invited in, and casually put on a piece of clothing herself and got out of bed,

“How is mother? Was she frightened?”

“Madam was so disturbed by the noise that she hurriedly sent the servant girl to check on the fourth young lady’s whereabouts. It’s good that Miss is fine.”

When the women in the house heard the sound outside, they all felt a sense of concern, and Yu Qingya asked,

“What is going on outside? Where did the officials come from? Why are they searching our mansion?”

“I heard that the Prince of Yingchuan himself brought them here personally, otherwise how would this group of reckless men dare to spill their guts on our family’s territory?”

The maid patted her chest and said with palpitations,

“Fortunately, they were searching on the eastern side and it did not affect us. Otherwise, if a group of foreign men knocked on the door in the middle of the night, it would really be shameful and embarrassing.”

Yu Qingya remembered that in her previous life, she was suddenly woken up by Hongluan in the middle of the night and learned that the Yu Mansion seemed to have been broken through by some assassins, and now the government was bringing people over to search for them.

She was scared half to death to hear such a thing at that time, and waited for a long time in a daze, but after seeing that the movement outside gradually subsided, she was so sleepy that she went back to sleep immediately.

In this life, since a lot of things have been different compared to her previous life, and she has been focusing all her energy on Yu Qingjia, she even forgot about this incident.

But Yu Qingya knows that this time is just a false alarm, although the officials and soldiers made such a fierce move, but in the end, they didn’t find anything, Yu Qingya has not heard any news of the assassin at all. Because she already knew the outcome of the matter, so she was very calm at this moment, and she was even thinking of comforting the six distracted maids,

“Do not worry, our Yu family is clean and strict without any shame in our hearts, so of course, you should not be afraid of them finding any fault. Lu Qi, I’d like you to go back and tell my mother that she can rest assured that the government soldiers will not come to disturb our family.”

Although Lu Qi did not know why, but looking at Yu Qingya’s confident expression, she felt much more at ease in her heart. After she left, Yu Qingya instructed Hongluan and the others,

“Go and close the doors and windows, so that no one will take advantage of the chaos.”

After sending all the maids away, Yu Qingya asked the system in her mind,

“System, do you know What’s going on here? Where did the assassin come from? Why would he dare to hide in the Yu family’s house?, And why would Prince Yingchuan chase him down personally?”

She didn’t understand this matter in her previous life, but the same thing happened again in this life, and she was very curious about it. The system paused for a moment and asked,

「What year, month and day is today?」

She didn’t understand why the system asked this, but she still thought about it and said truthfully,

“It is now the Sixteenth day of October in the first year of Guangxi.”

The system entered “October 16th, the first year of Guangxi” in its database, and then searched the entire network. After a while, the system saw an information popped up, and its tone suddenly changed, 「On October 16, the first year of Guangxi, Liao Zheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Public Works, died.」

The information itself was a bit ambiguous, but Liao Zheng himself was in both the treacherous minister’s party and the hunting party. He was a famous scholar in history who died in an extremely ignominious way. The system and Yu Qingya were silent for a moment, thinking of the same possibility at the same time.

Who in the world would want Liao Zheng to die the most, and who wants him to be ruined and nailed to the pillar of shame for all eternity?

Of course, based on the few words revealed in the unofficial history, Liao Zheng may indeed have played too much and suffocated to death, but combined with this specific date and this unusual hunt by Prince Yingchuan, it seems that there is a strange connection hidden in the dark.

Yu Qingya thought of an extremely bold guess,

“System, is it possible that the death of Liao Zheng was related to Prince Langya?”

Only this reason can explain why Liao Zheng died on the first day he came to Gaoping County, and why Prince Yingchuan himself would want to hunt down the assassin personally. The voice of the system was indescribably solemn,

「There is not enough data to judge. Asking the host to probe personally.」

Yu Qingya thought that Yu Qingjia’s courtyard was just in the direction of the fire light, so she gritted her teeth and stood up.

What a standard Mary Sue plot, the male lead was injured while getting rid of his pursuers, and mistakenly entered into the female lead’s courtyard, the female lead was kind and beautiful, regardless of the danger, she hides the male lead in her closet or under the bed to help the male lead get rid of the pursuers, and a bond has been formed between them ever since.

The noble male lead fell in love with that kind, innocent and bold young lady at first sight, and later on he met the female lead again with another identity, which started the lingering bloody plot of him chasing after her while she runs away. Yu Qingya was both disdainful and angry, and she became even more convinced that she was indeed a female lead.

Yu Qingya was obviously good at everything, but because the plot favored Yu Qingjia, she fell behind everywhere, and finally suffered a crushing defeat.

Yu Qingya coldly covered herself with a cloak, called Hongluan and went outside. Hongluan was stunned when she heard that the fourth young lady was going to visit the sixth young lady’s courtyard, she hurriedly persuaded her, but Yu Qingya was determined. Hongluan had no choice but to hastily take a lamp and chase after her.

Yu Qingya asked the system in her mind,

“If this is the meeting between the male lead and female lead then Prince Langya will leave Gaoping County after the pursuers leave, right?”

The system searched the database of tens of thousands of Mary Sue stories and said,

「According to the relevant records, there is a ninety percent chance of this happening.」

“That’s good.”

Yu Qingya pursed her lips and smiled, her inner voice was light and lively,

“It’s just right, once Prince Langya leaves, I will report to Yu Laojun saying that Yu Qingjia hid an outside man in the middle of the night, which is detrimental to the Yu family women’s reputation. When Yu Wenjun and even the Male lead was not around, I’d like to see how she can escape from this disaster. I will push her harder at that time, and I will not care whether she lives or die. When Prince Langya comes back many years later the only one who will be able to meet him is the fourth young lady who loves her sister Yu Qingjia and misses her terribly.”

The system’s Internal data flow paused for a moment, and silently pulled out the module “The most poisonous woman’s heart”, from the emotion simulation library. Although it can simulate human thinking, its emotion is still very lacking, human emotions are like an incalculable puzzle to it. But following Yu Qingya these past few months, it has collected a lot of emotional data, the programming language that once existed only in the system has actual data to support it, and it can already run initially.

After a few more months of collection, with even more data, the emotional simulation results will also become even more accurate, and It’s just around the corner for it to accurately simulate an actual human emotion.

Meanwhile Inside the courtyard of the second household, Murong Xu was slowly pacing around inside the room that obviously belonged to a woman, when suddenly his eyes froze.

A dark red patch of blood was spotted on the floor, next to a wooden frame that happened to be in the way, so it looked very inconspicuous. Looking at the degree of dryness of this blood, it must have fallen here for a while.

Murong Xu squinted at the drop of blood, and a meaningful smile slowly formed on his mouth.
