The system pits me and destroys the heroine

In this way, I will live with her.

This sentence has been circling in Xia Ningle's mind, lingering heart palpitations and anxiety, sleepless nights, she didn't want to think about it, but the system has been supplementing the rationality of Si Qinglian's behavior.

At least no one dared to mention the detention.

She simply kept herself busy and used the system to experiment with a few mice to verify her previous guess that the reason why this parasite would not affect the fetus was because the child's brain was immature and the parasite eggs needed nutrients. But after parasitizing the brain, eggs will be laid to find a new host, and humans are the best choice.

Si Qinglian spread the matter of corpse puppets to the people in the city, telling everyone that whatever they eat must be boiled thoroughly. As for the infected people who were previously imprisoned, they have gradually turned into corpse puppets and were beheaded and cremated by soldiers.

After that, everyone made arrows in an orderly manner. Xia Ningle would use corpse puppets to practice in the city, and soldiers would shoot arrows from time to time to slowly clean up nearby corpse puppets. As for the blood bags used on the catapult, they were all Provided by death row inmates.

When Si Qinglian returned to the courtyard, it was already late, and Xia Ningle was almost too busy. Everyone was hungry, and there were still some wild fruits that she had picked earlier, so she gave Si Qinglian two.

Si Qinglian held the fruit in his hand, stared at her for a moment, and said, "Don't you have anything to ask me?"

Xia Ningle is not a child, but also a modern person. Now, hearing Si Qinglian's question, the doubts in her heart have been resolved. She has also done intimate things with girls. It is a joke between fights, just to have fun , and the intimacy between Si Qinglian is completely different, it is heart-pounding and addictive.

"It's getting late, Your Highness has been busy all day today, so let's go back early and have a rest!" Xia Ningle said while thinking.

After hearing these words, Si Qinglian walked away with no expression on her face. She didn't know if she was angry, but she didn't say a word. Xia Ningle was also quite helpless, and somehow she told Si Qinglian that she didn't know what to do. good.

Not knowing how to deal with it, Xia Ningle simply put the matter aside for the time being. In the early morning of the next day, soldiers came to report that the food delivered by Liang Xie had arrived ten miles outside the city. It was also troublesome to transport a total of fifty carts of grain into the city.

Fortunately, Liang Xie sent enough people to open the road with kerosene bottles, and finally sent the food into the city without any danger, and then they returned to Beixia Pass.

Even though the people in the city were famished with hunger, they did not rush to grab food because of this. Instead, they lined up to pick up rice and cook at home. These fifty carts of food were enough for everyone to last for half a month.

The food matter is settled for the time being, but Xia Ningle still has other doubts in his heart. This confusion is what the prince said when he was in the palace.

Si Qinglian's bedroom is haunted by ghosts.

She found the cell where He Shikun was being held. With his armor removed, it was as if someone had stripped off a layer of glamorous coat. He looked very decadent with his head down.

When He Shikun saw Xia Ningle, his eyes gradually brightened. He grabbed the railing of the cell and said, "Lele, I've had someone bring you messages several times, but they said you didn't want to see me, so I knew they were lying to me." of."

Xia Ningle was taken aback for a moment, she didn't know about this at all, someone must have stopped what he was about to say, this person except Si Qinglian and no one else had the right to do so.

"What's the matter with me?"

"Help me out of here."

Xia Ning laughed happily: "I think General He should also see that I am determined to stand on His Highness's side, so why do you think I will help you?"

Her tone seemed impersonal, and she wanted to draw a clear line with He Shikun, but He Shikun obviously didn't think so. His face was full of sadness, and he said sadly: "Lele, you have changed. You were not like this before."

"No, this is the real me now."

"Lele, I ask myself that I have never done anything to hurt you. On the day you escaped from the ruined temple, I did not hesitate to save you. Why do you treat me like this now? What did I do wrong?"

Indeed, He Shikun never hurt Xia Ningle, but she used He Shikun many times to help Si Qian Qinglian, which made her feel conflicted for a moment, and wanted to let him go, so that all the kindness could be written off.

While the two were silent, Si Qinglian also quietly came here. She hid in a corner and did not show up.

"Lele, you know that my heart for you has never changed, and I don't believe that you will suddenly be indifferent to me." He Shikun seemed to have thought of something, and he hurriedly said, "I know, it must be the gift of marriage that made you Disappointed, you have to believe me, marrying Si Qinglian is just a stopgap measure, I never liked her."

Xia Ningle took a deep breath, and when he spoke again, he showed no emotion at all: "A stopgap measure? So do you want to proclaim yourself emperor?"

"Yes, if I am the emperor, you will be the empress."

Si Qinglian in the corner listened to the words, and when he turned to leave, the corner of his mouth raised a sarcasm smile, his hazy eyes were strangely strange.

"He Shikun, I've made it clear to you now that I never liked you, let alone be a queen, and you will never become an emperor."

"Will you know if you try it?"

He looked very confident, and he didn't seem frustrated because Xia Ningle refused to help. It seemed that there was someone behind him. She frowned and thought, now that the plot can't be referenced, how will the hero's personality make it out?

"The way Lele thinks about things seriously is also extremely beautiful." He Shikun suddenly teased.

"None of your shit!" Xia Ningle usually seldom swears, but she couldn't help it now, "Do you think you are handsome? The pores on your face are thicker than the hair on my feet, and there are dark circles under your eyes. You look like you have a kidney deficiency, don't pretend to be innocent."

He Shikun was stunned.

"Earlier, the prince said that there were often ghost howls in His Highness's bedroom. If I guessed right, Concubine Liu should be locked up there." Xia Ningle remembered that after Concubine Liu disappeared, Si Qinglian was brought by the Queen's side Since then, no one has set foot in Hui'an Palace.

He Shikun's expression froze for a moment, Xia Ningle observed carefully, and naturally saw it, she asked again: "What happened back then, did the matter of Concubine Liu have anything to do with you?"

"If you're willing to tell me, I'll let you go."

He Shikun smiled and said, "You're asking me all this because of Si Qinglian, but I'm really jealous. I shouldn't have let her take you away when I was in Yuefang."

"Don't change the subject for me!"

"So what if it has something to do with me, I won't tell you anything, let alone let Si Qinglian get what she wants." He Shikun laughed, looking a little nervous, "But you can tell her, as long as you marry me, she wants to marry me." I can tell her anything I know."

"Go and dream your dreams!"

Xia Ningle didn't want to stay in the same space with this pervert anymore, she had almost finished asking her questions, so she hurriedly left here, and when she returned to the courtyard, the nausea in her heart still lingered for a long time.

Si Qinglian has been practicing sword in the yard, every move and every move is full of murderous aura, as if there are many enemies around, Xia Ningle did not dare to approach, she stayed aside and watched quietly.

Every time the cold sword slashed across, there was a sound as if the wind was being split, and a long and tall figure floated lightly. Si Qinglian put away the sword and asked, "Where did you go just now?"

"I didn't go anywhere, just wandered down the street."

Although she asked He Shikun about Concubine Liu, she didn't get an accurate answer. Xia Ningle thought about it, and decided to wait until Si Qinglian was stronger and had the strength to return to the imperial city, so as not to have time to rejoice.

Si Qinglian's eyes were heavy, she didn't say anything, she handed the sword in her hand to Chun'er, and said, "You haven't eaten since you came back, why don't you have dinner with me?"

"it is good."

With food, Si Qinglian's meals are rare and extravagant, stir-fried olive vegetables, mushroom soup, braised potatoes with dried fish... These are also Xia Ningle's favorite dishes.

"Come on, sit down first and let Ben Gong see your face."

When Xia Ningle heard it, her face was as hot as an apple. After she sat down, Si Qinglian gently dragged her chin to look at her with a cold hand. He could see the blush on his cheeks.

"Well, it's healing well." Si Qinglian let her go.

Chun'er on the side looked at the two of them back and forth, serving dishes carefully, she found that every time she served Xia Ningle first, Si Qinglian would laugh, so she simply served Xia Ningle first.

"The weather in the north is changeable and the winter is long. The weather will turn cold these two days, so you should pay more attention." Si Qinglian ordered, and then slowly started eating.

Xia Ningle glanced at it quietly, Si Qinglian's expression didn't show much emotion, but the other party's concern would make her heart warm, so she responded: "Your Highness, also pay more attention."

"Ah."

Suddenly, the system in her mind issued a beep, telling her not to forget that corpse puppets would become extremely active in cool weather, and if winter came, there would even be a wave of corpses.

Xia Ningle informed Si Qinglian of this matter.

"Song Yuhang is already strengthening the construction of the city defense. If you are still worried, follow me to the city wall tomorrow to have a look."

"it is good."

Xia Ningle hurriedly picked up the rice, and after eating in a hurry, she and Si Qinglian left, because she suddenly thought that cold weapons would be too disadvantageous against corpse puppets, but using gunpowder against corpse puppets can not only ensure the safety of soldiers, but also help Si Qinglian Emperor.

She used a feather dipped in ink to draw the scale, and the scale was drawn meticulously. She also asked the system to give her the recipe for making explosives/drugs, and she copied it all down and handed it to Song Yuhang.

When Song Yuhang saw these blueprints, his eyes sparkled, and he praised: "Lele actually has such a talent. I, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, am really ashamed, but this weight is too fine, and craftsmen may not be able to make it."

"I believe you can think of a way to make it. If you succeed, you will be the biggest contributor." Xia Ningle urged, "You must keep the matter of making explosives a secret, and you should keep this blueprint in mind." Then burn it, and it must not fall into the hands of others, you know?"

"This..." It's really not easy to remember these things.

"You are a man, you can't say no!"

"Okay, that has to be done."
