Chapter 379 Step by Step Shocking Jade Tan 1
"Host, you're awake." An emotionless mechanical voice sounded in her mind.
Chu Huan was stunned for a moment. She tried hard to recall, but found that her mind was blank. The memory of "Wen Yuan" seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog and she could not see clearly.
"Xiao Yuanzi, what's wrong with me?" Chu Hua grasped the last bit of consciousness in her mind and asked anxiously.
"Host, your memory has been temporarily sealed. When the time is right, it will be automatically unsealed."
Chu Huan rubbed her temples, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.
"Little Yuanzi, let's start the next task."
"Okay, host. We are matching you with the next world..."
A flash of white light appeared, and when Chu Huan opened her eyes again, she found herself in an antique room. A carved wooden bed, gauze curtains, and a faint scent of sandalwood filled the air. Everything seemed strange yet familiar.
"Host, congratulations on your successful arrival in the world of "Startling by Each Step". Your identity is..."
"Shut up, Xiao Yuanzi." Chu Huan rubbed her temples and interrupted the system impatiently.
"You always have to be mysterious, just get to the point."
The system was silent for a few seconds, and then continued in a mechanical voice: "Your current identity is Yu Tan, a spy planted by the Ninth Prince next to Emperor Kangxi, who was eventually executed by steaming."
"What?" Chu Huan sat up suddenly.
"Steaming punishment? Are you kidding me? How can I, the owner of a strategy system, end up in such a miserable way?"
"Host, please calm down. Your mission is to capture the old emperor and change Yu Tan's fate."
"Conquer that old guy?" Chu Hua couldn't believe it.
"System, are you sure you're not kidding me? Do I look like someone with a heavy taste?"
The system was silent for a few seconds, as if searching for relevant data, and then mechanically replied: "According to data analysis, the age of the target character in your last world strategy was 45 years old. Now it seems that this age is within your acceptable range."
"You..." Chu Hua was choked by the system and was speechless. This broken system really remembered everything!
"Besides, if you want to conquer someone, why choose Yu Tan?" Chu Huan was in tears.
"Look at the character setting. The Ninth Prince was a spy planted by Emperor Kangxi, but he was eventually steamed to death. This is a hellish start!"
"Strategy is easier said than done." Chu Hua stroked her forehead, rubbing her aching temple.
"Xiao Yuanzi, what good strategy do you think this old man has?"
The system's emotionless mechanical voice sounded at the right time: "According to data analysis, Emperor Kangxi devoted his later years to cultivating a crown prince. He has a relatively gentle personality and is quite knowledgeable about Han culture. He is a target that you, the host, can easily approach."
"I want to capture you, why did it have to be Yu Tan?" Chu Huan wanted to cry but had no tears. She grabbed the pillow at the head of the bed and threw it to the ground.
"Look at the character setting. The Ninth Prince was a spy planted by Emperor Kangxi, but he was eventually steamed to death. This is a hellish start!"
The system said calmly: "Host, according to data analysis, you prefer to attack high-difficulty targets, and your success rate is as high as 99%. This system believes that with your ability, you will be able to complete the task successfully."
"99%? What about the remaining 1%?"
"Leave it to fate!"
"Shut up!" Chu Hua got up angrily, walked to the bronze mirror, and looked at the unfamiliar face in the mirror. She had delicate features, fair skin, and was a standard classical beauty.
"This body is not bad, but it's a pity that it has a short life." Chu Huan sighed and began to sort out the original owner's memories.
The original owner, Yu Tan, came from a family that fell into poverty. She was spotted by the ninth prince Yinzhen, who carefully trained her and placed her beside Emperor Kangxi as a spy.
"Xiao Yuanzi, how old is old Kangxi this year?" Chu Huan rubbed her temples, feeling overwhelmed.
"Replying to the host, it is the fortieth year of Kangxi's reign. The emperor is now forty-eight years old."
Forty-eight years old!
I’m almost at the age of knowing my destiny!
Chu Hua’s eyes went dark and she almost fainted.
"This old man could be my grandfather, how can I eat him?"
"Host, please rest assured. This old man...this target's face is guaranteed to satisfy you."
After a dizzying moment, Chu Huan found herself in an antique room, and her clothes had changed into those of the Qing Dynasty.
"Xiao Yuanzi, is this the Qianqing Palace?" Chu Huan looked around. The room was not big and the furniture was very simple. There was only a hard wooden bed, a table, and a few chairs.
"Host, your current identity is a maid cleaning the Qianqing Palace. Please adapt to your identity as soon as possible and complete the strategy mission."
"A palace maid who cleans the house?" Chu Huan held her forehead with her hand. Isn't this a bit too miserable of a start?
"Xiao Yuanzi, where is this old Kangxi? I have to meet him before I can conquer him, right?"
Chu Hua rolled her eyes. This broken system is always so mysterious.
"Host, please be patient. The emperor is very busy and you will see him soon. To prevent any accidents, the immersive mode has been turned on for the host..."
With a creaky sound, the door was pushed open, and a little palace maid in a green palace dress and with her hair in a bun walked in.
"Are you new here?" The little palace maid looked Yu Tan up and down with a hint of contempt in her eyes.
"Yes." Yu Tan replied indifferently.
"My name is Chuntao. Which palace are you from?" Chuntao glanced at Chuhuan.
"Yutan, from the Qianqing Palace."
"Qianqing Palace? How come you, a newcomer, are working in Qianqing Palace?"
Chun Tao was surprised, then seemed to have thought of something, and smiled, "Yes, with your looks, you can only sweep the floor in the Qianqing Palace."
"Okay, stop standing there and come with me to work." Chuntao said, turned around and walked out of the room.
Yutan followed Chuntao and came to the imperial garden.
"We have to hurry and clean this place up." Chuntao said as she handed Chuhuan a broom.
Yutan took the broom and swept the floor casually, but her eyes were looking around, full of curiosity about everything.
"What are you looking at? If you don't work hard, I'll tell your aunt and deduct your monthly salary!" Chuntao saw Yutan looking around and immediately warned him.
Suddenly, a melodious sound of stringed instruments was heard. Chu Huan looked up and saw a group of young eunuchs and palace maids surrounding a man in a bright yellow dragon robe, walking slowly towards them.
The man was about fifty years old, with a dignified face and a majestic aura without even getting angry. It was none other than Emperor Kangxi.
"Hey, what are you looking at? Your eyes are about to fall out!" Chun Tao saw Chu Huan staring in the direction of Kangxi and couldn't help but bump her with her elbow.
"No, nothing." Chu Huan came back to her senses, quickly lowered her head, pretending to sweep the floor seriously.
"Hmph, watch less of what you shouldn't watch, or you'll get into trouble!" Chun Tao warned.
