Su Xi didn’t know how to answer this question.
In her mind, it was like the game character suddenly realized that he was just a game character. This kind of plot might be a love story of life and death in a domestic movie, but it would be a doomsday blockbuster in the United States!
Of course, it may just be that the game programming was clever, giving the child a mind that was almost realistic and completely human. So when the game reached this level, the protagonist would ask this question.
Moreover, the cub’s guess was very reasonable. After all, she had been actively communicating with the cub but had never left a single word.
If she answered “no” to this question, the cub would probably be very sad – if there was no reason why she couldn’t leave any words, and why didn’t she talk to him for so long?
After thinking for a while, Su Xi turned the book on the table over and said, “Yes.”
After answering, the cub didn’t come back for a while, so Su Xi went offline first.
The system had told her that every time she accumulated 10 points, she could redeem a koi. The first time, she won a lottery worth three million, and the second time, Father and Mother Su’s small factory finally came back to life. Su Xi thought it was the koi that worked.
Her points were now 25, and would soon accumulate to 30, which would allow her to exchange them for another koi. She wondered what other good luck she would have.
Thinking of this, Su Xi felt a little excited. Suddenly, her cell phone rang. It was a call from Father Su.
Su parents had been looking at houses before, and they seemed to have decided to choose the last few houses available. They told Su Xi to prepare her crutches at home and wait for them to come back and take her to look at houses together. It just so happened that Su Xi would go back to school next Monday, so she should take the opportunity to take a look before going to school.
On the phone, Father Su couldn’t hide his excitement and kept saying how great the new house was. It was a pity that the house would be handed over only after the New Year, so there was still some time and he couldn’t move in immediately.
Su Xi’s heart was beating like a drum when she heard this, and she wanted to fly over to see her new home.
In the afternoon, Su Xi was taken by Father and Mother Su to look at houses. Before, the family of three lived in a small two-bedroom apartment, which was not small, but it was very far from Su Xi’s school and not very soundproof.
But the new house was a three-bedroom, two-living room apartment. The master bedroom had a large dressing room for her parents, while Su Xi had the second bedroom and study room all to herself. After all, she was almost a senior in high school, and her parents hoped that Su Xi could concentrate on her studies.
Su Xi looked at the exquisite decorations in the model room and burst into tears of joy – so she must be better to her son! She should not be so stingy in the future and spend money where it was necessary!
When she logged into the game again at night, although she did not follow the cub to Zhong Ganping’s house, she saw with her own eyes the conversation between the cub and the Minister of Revenue.
But the system popped up some information and repeated the main points to her.
[The cold is spreading in the city right now, and many people are falling ill. This is not the biggest impact of this frost disaster.]
[Except for the capital, the entire Yan State had a very bad winter this year. Countless people starved to death because of the reduced grain production, and they had to eat tree bark. There was a place north of the capital where the bark of the trees was almost eaten clean. Therefore, the most worrying thing for the court now is not the cold and plague, but the frost disaster that caused the whole country to have no food.]
[If this continues and the problem of frost disasters every winter is not solved, the military strength of Yan will become weaker and weaker, and neighboring countries will be eager to invade sooner or later.]
[So, is there any way to increase the output of agricultural products and ensure that the people have enough food and clothing?]
The young doctor was praised as a miracle doctor in the capital. He could easily cure many diseases that even the imperial doctors could not. Therefore, in the eyes of the Minister of Revenue, this young man must be the disciple of some otherworldly master who could have such skills at such a young age! Therefore, during the conversation, they would naturally talk about some topics that concerned the country and the people!
Although this Minister of Revenue was paunchy and relied on the Imperial Concubine’s eldest daughter and the fifth prince to bully others in the capital, he was actually a loyal and patriotic official who worked for the common people. Thus Ning Wang, who was obsessed with sensual pleasures, could not be compared with him.
What’s more, the fifth prince was also behind the scenes during the conversation.
“The fifth prince?” Su Xi couldn’t help but ask.
“Yes.” The system popped up a picture of the current power division in the capital.
There were currently four princes with greater power in the palace, namely the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fifth Prince.
The Crown prince was thirty-four years old and had a reputation for being loyal and honest, but he was rather cowardly. The queen and some of his royal relatives stood on his side.
The second prince was twenty-two years old. He seemed low-key and did not show off. He still had a reputation for not competing or fighting and for taking the overall situation into consideration. He stood on the side of General Zhenyuan and Ning Wang Mansion.
The third prince was eighteen years old and had the worst reputation. It was rumored that he often went to places of entertainment and was no different from those second-generation dandies. However, he was favored by the emperor, who thought he was a true character, so he also had a party in the court.
The fifth prince was seventeen years old and was the one with the best reputation according to rumors. He was responsible for several major achievements last year, including disaster relief and river dredging. However, for some unknown reason, he was not favored by the emperor.
The avatars of several princes and princesses were lit up on Su Xi’s interface, but the avatar of the last little prince, the ninth prince, was gray.
Su Xi suddenly had an intuition and clicked on the Ninth Prince’s information.
[Twenty years younger than the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, died before birth. Other information: None]
…Could it be that the cub was the Ninth Prince?
This was Su Xi’s guess, but the plot of the game had not surfaced for the time being, so she was not sure, and therefore temporarily turned off the character introductions of the princes.
