"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully unlocking the simulation progress. This progress will be increased by 20%."

The sudden system notification sound made Xu Changqing feel inexplicably happy.

At this moment, he was very happy.

After all, there is nothing more gratifying than him unlocking the progress bar of his life, right?

smiled.

But soon his smile froze on his cheeks, and a flash of lightning seemed to flash through his mind, causing his heart to tremble.

wrong……

Something's wrong! ! !

All this seemed reasonable. He came to the imperial city and overthrew the tyrant's rule by force.

All of this seems reasonable, but the greatest rationality is irrationality.

Doesn't it seem like things are going a little too smoothly?

Yes.

It just went too smoothly.

It seems like there is an invisible pair of hands behind the scenes, controlling the development of all this invisibly.

Xu Changqing ascended the throne of the Human Emperor, as if all this was destined.

Throughout the whole process, he didn't seem to have put in much effort, and he naturally ascended to the position.

Suddenly, a key person came to Xu Changqing's mind, Princess Yaoyue.

You know, the biggest reason why everything went so smoothly for Xu Changqing was because of her help.

"Could she be the one behind all this?"

Xu Changqing thought about it and felt that although she was smart, she did not seem like a chess player behind the scenes, but more like a chess piece pushed out by the person behind the scenes.

"I hope I'm not overthinking it. Maybe I really am the destined child of destiny?"

Xu Changqing's eyes were deep, revealing an unprecedented calmness.

The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it!

It seems that if I want to confirm whether I am overthinking it or not, I have to start with Princess Yaoyue.

At this time, deep in the forbidden area of ​​the imperial palace...

Drop drop! ! !

In a dark and damp dungeon.

Passing through a long tunnel, a figure wearing a cloak and holding a candle slowly came here.

This is the palace’s sky prison, the most secret cell.

No one knows what kind of person is imprisoned here.

All we know is that sixteen years ago, there was a criminal like this in the prison.

Prison cells are supposed to be dirty and full of stench.

But there are many books here.

It can be seen that the owner of the cell has a very special status.

If Xu Changqing were here.

You will definitely find that the owner of the cell has a very familiar face. He is none other than the old emperor who was killed some time ago.

The cloaked woman who came here alone was Princess Yaoyue.

Wrapped in a black cloak, her graceful figure can be vaguely seen, and the girl's beautiful face is always smiling.

She carried a basket of vegetables and walked slowly to the cell door.

He said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Are you used to living here these years?"

"As for food and lodging, everything is in accordance with what Father likes best."

Finally, the girl's smile fell on the old man.

Taking the basket of vegetables from the girl, the old emperor seemed to have already accepted his fate.

He lost it all sixteen years ago.

Rights, family, everything.

And the person who took all this away from him was none other than his most beloved youngest daughter.

This Princess Yaoyue!

"Yue'er, are you here today to send Father off completely?"

The Old Emperor had been imprisoned for sixteen years and had already accepted his fate calmly.

But before he died, he still didn't understand.

Why did his daughter betray him?

Sixteen years ago, his most beloved youngest daughter suddenly betrayed him, and he finally seized power with thunder-like means.

Perhaps seeing the confusion in the old emperor's heart, Princess Yaoyue tilted her head, but her eyes were as calm as ever.

"Father, the more you know, this is definitely not a good thing!"

She advised calmly.

Compared to the calm expression on the girl's face, a trace of distortion suddenly appeared on the old emperor's cheek.

anger!

hatred!

"I don't understand, I really don't understand why you killed your mother, brother, and younger brother..."

"Even if you want the throne, I can give it to you and make you the emperor. But why... why?!!"

"want…"

The old man's eyes were bloodshot and bulging with anger.

Princess Yaoyue's beautiful face suddenly showed an apologetic look, "Father, I'm sorry, I have my own reasons."

"Tell me the reason!"

From word to word, it can be seen that the old emperor has been exhausted because of the death of his relatives over the years.

He knew he didn't have long to live.

At the end of his life, he wanted to know why.

Why did she launch that coup d'état sixteen years ago? Why did she kill all her relatives?

Those people outside are all just puppets she supported.

fake.

Everything is fake!

Her beautiful eyes fell on the old emperor, and Princess Yaoyue moved her lips slightly, "Father, do you believe in fate?"

"destiny?"

The old emperor was stunned. He didn't quite understand what the other party said.

Just as he was stunned, Princess Yaoyue's originally calm face flashed with a distorted and morbid look.

Unlike the expression on her face, her tone was quite calm.

"Father, this world is sick and will soon come to an end!"

"Everyone will die anyway, so what does it matter if we die earlier or later?"

"Just because of this, you killed my mother, killed my brother, and imprisoned me for so many years?"

"Do you still have any humanity or conscience in your heart? Is family affection so cheap and unworthy in your eyes?"

Facing her father's questioning, Princess Yaoyue just sighed and said, "Is this how your father sees me?"

"I don't really care about power. I haven't even had a glimpse of that position in the past sixteen years. How could I sit on it and put myself in shackles?"

The Old Emperor was stunned again.

If not for rights, then what is it for?

He knew very well that Princess Yaoyue had already taken away his rights and he had nothing left.

The other party has no reason to deceive himself.

But the old emperor didn't understand even more.

What is the royal family fighting for if not for power?

"Your Majesty, you may not know yet. I have recently handed over that position to someone else, and the position has returned to the person who truly belongs to it."

"What on earth are you talking about, are you crazy or am I crazy, you!"

The Old Emperor just felt that the other party was so strange, really so strange.

It felt like the first time in all these years that we really knew each other.

It was obvious that the other person was his little daughter who grew up under his care.

The most beloved jewel in the palm.

But in the end, he was met with bloody betrayal and excruciating pain.

Listening to Princess Yaoyue telling him everything that had happened recently, the old emperor's voice trembled a little: "What...what is it all about?"

Eyes facing each other.

I just stared for a moment, but it seemed like a long time.

Princess Yaoyue said calmly: "If I say it is to save the world, will you believe it, father?"
