System invasion, Queen fights monsters to upgrade, kills the system

Chapter 28: Continuing to trace back Hu Changqing 3

Sixteen years old belongs to Hu Changqing and also to Xu Zhoujiao.

At the age of sixteen, Hu Changqing faced her greatest rival in her life, Xu Zhou Jiao, who returned to Beijing with great fanfare.

Born as the legitimate daughter of the general who guards the country, the general holds all the military power in the country and is highly regarded by the late emperor. This is the confidence of this legitimate young lady from Xuzhou.

His Majesty personally led the civil and military officials out of the city to welcome him. What a special honor it was. Sitting in the imperial carriage to tour the city was a treatment Hu Changqing had never had before.

Suddenly, rumors spread all over Kyoto again, saying that the daughter of the general's family was the real candidate for queen.

After all, only military power is real.

Hu Changqing was furious at such a great courtesy. She planned to use the same old trick again and use rumors to defeat Xu Zhoujiao.

She deliberately acted haggard at the banquet. When several young ladies from aristocratic families asked her if she was feeling unwell, she evaded the question and euphemistically expressed Xu Zhoujiao's hostility towards her. She also said that Xu Zhoujiao was too powerful and she could only avoid him. It was inevitable that she felt tired after all this.

The next day, rumors spread throughout the streets of Kyoto that Xuzhou Jiao had abused her power to bully others, repeatedly suppressing the young lady of the Taifu Mansion in an attempt to win the emperor's heart.

Unfortunately, she met Xuzhou Jiao, who never played his cards normally.

Xuzhou Jiao directly stopped Hu Changqing in public and said bluntly that she had just arrived in Kyoto, and she had offended the young lady of the Taifu Mansion, so there were rumors of suppression. As for bullying others by taking advantage of one's power, it was even more nonsense. Her father was in Xuzhou, which was far away from Kyoto, so how could she take advantage of the power?

Hu Changqing was caught off guard by the straight ball. She explained with a fake smile that Miss Xu had misunderstood her. She had never had any private contact with Miss Xu, so how could there be such a rumor? It must have been spread by an outsider.

Xu Zhoujiao smiled coldly and didn't buy her nonsense at all. She said that she left Beijing when she was less than two years old and had never been to Kyoto in the meantime. How come rumors about her and Miss Hu started spreading just a few days after she came back?

The young men from the noble families present were not fools. Seeing Hu Changqing's hesitancy and confusion, they understood what was going on. They couldn't help but feel fortunate that Miss Hu looked down on them, otherwise it would be embarrassing enough to marry her home.

In the end, Hu Changqing had no choice but to personally find the ladies from the noble families who were at the banquet and explain everything to them.

In this way, Hu Changqing is simply shooting himself in the foot.

Hu Changqing, who had lost a group of people, was furious and smashed everything in the room at night.

While smashing, he shouted: "System, system, where the hell have you been?"

"Isn't it enough to sleep for so many years?"

Just when Hu Changqing was about to give up shouting, a voice that had been silent for a long time appeared out of nowhere.

"Host, system 9533 has been turned on."

"You still remember to come back. Do you know that Xuzhou Jiao has already returned to the capital? Now Yinshandu is ignoring me. It won't be long before Xuzhou Jiao becomes the queen. By then, we will all be finished!"

"Host, don't worry. Fu, Yinshandu has established a complete connection with the main system. We can control his every word and action at any time."

"Then let him seize Xuzhou Chuang's power immediately and drive that bitch Xuzhou Jiao into slavery."

"It is recommended that the host not take any radical actions."

"Then ask Yinshandu to come see me immediately."

"BUG, BUG."

"Connection failed. Target person is unresponsive."

"What's going on? Didn't you say that Yinshandu has been completely controlled? Why did he lose his response? I was wondering why he ignored me recently. You are a useless system. You can't even do such a small thing."

"After scanning, the target person's memory seal has loosened. And he has shown disgust towards the host. The current disgust value is 73."

"How could it be so high? We haven't seen each other for only two months, right? Who, who on earth, said such bad things about me in front of him?"

"Didn't the host do anything? I helped the host to raise his favorability to the maximum, but now it's gone and his disgust has reached 73. I remember telling the host to keep a distance from the target person before I left. We have too many loopholes in the autumn hunt and we are easily targeted."

Hu Changqing seemed to suddenly think of something and fell silent. Yes, in the past few years, she had become too proud of herself and punished many people. She originally thought that Xu Zhoujiao would be like them and would just hide in a corner and cry.

But she didn't expect that she would dare to confront her and question her in public.

"Host, now only the main system can forcibly intervene in the target person. You can only apply for authorization from the main system."

"Then you should apply quickly."

"To apply for authorization, the host needs to provide the host's entire body's energy to nourish the main system. The host's fate will quickly merge with the original body's, and the life span will not exceed 20 years."

"No more than twenty? Doesn't that mean there are still three years left? What's the point?"

"Once the host is authorized, he will gain independent control over the target person and the right to modify his memory."

Hu Changqing had a conflicted look on her face. She paced back and forth, biting her fingers. Finally, she agreed to the system's conditions.

"Authorization application submitted."

"Authorization request approved."

"Congratulations to the host for gaining independent control over the target person --- Yinshandu."

Hu Changqing laughed ferociously and shouted that he would make Xu Zhoujiao die miserably.

"System reminder, host, do not take any radical actions. This is the dynasty ruling area, and the administrators are updated very quickly. Please do not disturb the normal operation of the target person, otherwise the main system will determine that the host has betrayed the contract and strangle him."

Hu Changqing, who was still imagining how he was going to deal with Xu Zhoujiao, was suddenly awakened by a basin of cold water.

Yes, Xuzhou Jiao also has a father who commands a large army and is highly valued by the late emperor. Even after the late emperor's death, he left an imperial edict requiring Xuzhou Chuang to assist the new emperor and the new emperor not to release Xuzhou Chuang's military power.

I don’t know what the late emperor was thinking. He actually valued a outsider more than his own son. Is he crazy?

"Is there nothing I can do about that bitch?"

"Host, please complete the task according to the treaty. Control the target person and eliminate the protectors of the Heavenly Dao."

After the system's reminders, Hu Changqing was indeed well behaved for a while.

The time has come for the draft.

Many noble ladies from famous families gathered together, led by Xu Zhoujiao and Hu Changqing.

The empress dowager finally selected several beautiful girls, conferred ranks on them based on their family background, and decided on Xu Zhoujiao and Hu Changqing as concubines.

The protagonist Yinshan Du was unwilling to do what had already been finalized. Under Hu Changqing's control, he stood up and said something astonishing: he wanted to make Hu Changqing the queen.

Because it had been less than two years since the previous emperor's death, according to clan system, Yinshandu had to wait three years before the queen could be crowned and the wedding could be held.

But now...

Everyone looked at the Queen Mother, but she did not refute a word, but promoted Xuzhou Jiao to Imperial Concubine.

The court was in an uproar, saying that the new emperor was disobedient and unfilial. But the people were praising the deep love between the emperor and the empress.

"What on earth does the host want to do? I remember reminding the host not to disturb the normal operation of the target person."

Hu Changqing, who was still immersed in joy, was shocked by the sudden electric shock and his whole body convulsed.

"Host, have you forgotten that the system has the ability to punish?"

Hu Changqing's face turned pale from the electric shock, and his whole body twitched non-stop: "No, I didn't forget."

"I just feel that as the queen I can best control the situation, so..."

"Host, have you forgotten how long we have been working together? Do you think this is still the same low-end game as before?"

"Host, do you think you can do whatever you want after controlling the target person? Or do you think your lies full of loopholes can conceal the system? Don't try to use control to cover up your inner thoughts. I can strangle the host completely without the authorization of the main system."

"If this causes dissatisfaction among the ministers, the target person will be pushed off the throne. Did the host think about this when exercising control?"

Hu Changqing had never thought about this. She just wanted to suppress Xuzhou Jiao and let the concubines see that she was irreplaceable in the emperor's heart. She completely forgot the clan system. It was only after she came back that Hu Taifu said she was confused and asked why she didn't advise the emperor in front of everyone. She remembered that it had not been three years since the death of the previous emperor, but now the decree had been issued and could not be withdrawn.

"Now, in order to ensure the normal progress of the mission, the system will take back the host's independent control."

"If you take it back now, what should I do? I only have three years to live."

"Given the particularity of the task, the system will intervene in the first person."
