I Just Want to be a Throwaway Character - Chapter 99

Chapter 99

The empress’s words silenced everyone.

It was a Gǔchóng, that mysterious Miao Jiang secret technique.

Only the Miao people from the outside regions knew how to use it.

But why…

Why would it appear on the princess of the dignified Yan Dynasty?

When Huangfu Yue heard this, her grip tightened.

Anger flashed in her eyes.

Had these people already made their move so quickly? They even threatened her so silently.

And they used her biggest weakness.

“Wan’er’s illness… We must find the mother Gu

The empress’s words silenced everyone.

It was a Gǔchóng, that mysterious Miao Jiang secret technique.

Only the Miao people from the outside regions knew how to use it.

But why…

Why would it appear on the princess of the dignified Yan Dynasty?

When Huangfu Yue heard this, her grip tightened.

Anger flashed in her eyes.

Had these people already made their move so quickly? They even threatened her so silently.

And they used her biggest weakness.

“Wan’er’s illness… We must find the mother蛊. Otherwise, she won’t survive for three days,” the empress said, her voice trembling with grief.

She never expected that after hiding for so many years, her child still couldn’t escape.

Those people’s greed was too terrifying.

Even her child being the princess of a nation couldn’t stop them.

As soon as the empress spoke, everyone present fell silent.

No one dared to speak.

The atmosphere was quiet for a moment.

“I’ll go find it.” Huangfu Yue gently placed Ji Wan’s hand back on the blanket.

She stood up, her cold voice filled with a determination for revenge.

Huangfu Yue’s aura instantly became powerful.

The silver mask on half of her face accentuated her sharp aura, making her as intimidating as a Yama King.

It was then that Ji Yuanhan noticed Huangfu Yue’s presence.

He looked at Huangfu Yue seriously, his expression mournful, as if he had aged decades in an instant.

“Why should I trust you?” Ji Yuanhan regained his composure, his voice filled with grief and doubt.

Huangfu Yue looked at Ji Yuanhan without saying anything.

She silently raised her hand and took off her mask, revealing a face that resembled her mother’s.

“You… you are…” Shock appeared in Ji Yuanhan’s eyes.

Why did the woman in front of him resemble that person so much?

Could it be?

“Huangfu Yue,” Huangfu Yue calmly stated her name, directly revealing herself to Ji Yuanhan.

“Say that again, who are you?” An expression of disbelief and complexity flashed in Ji Yuanhan’s eyes.

Huangfu. That could only mean one person, that person’s child.

He remembered that he had arranged for this child to stay far away from the capital and live the rest of her life in peace.

Why would she appear here?

But Ji Yuanhan regained his imperial dignity, and his expression became serious.

“As the former dynasty’s princess, you have appeared here. It’s hard for me to trust you. It’s possible that you planted the Gu poison,on my child,” Ji Yuanhan said.

“I would never hurt Ji Wan. Never,” Huangfu Yue looked directly at Ji Yuanhan.

“This is the Devoure gǔ. It has been in Ji Wan’s body for at least three years. It’s my fault. Why didn’t I discover it sooner?”

The empress’s tears left a trail on her face as she blamed herself.

Ji Yuanhan looked at his wife with a pained expression.

But he still turned to look at Huangfu Yue.

“Wan’er has nothing to do with you. Why are you doing this? Or rather, what do you want?”

Ji Yuanhan had been in a high position for a long time and couldn’t help but be suspicious.

He felt that Huangfu Yue was trying to take back the Huangfu family’s empire.

So she deliberately got close to Ji Wan.

But this empire was something her mother had desperately avoided.

“I love her,” Huangfu Yue didn’t look at Ji Yuanhan’s doubting eyes.

She turned to look at the sleeping Ji Wan, her voice low and firm.

“You… what did you say?

Love?

Impossible. My child cannot be with you.”

After hearing Huangfu Yue’s true purpose.

Ji Yuanhan flicked his sleeve, his voice carrying a hidden anger.

“I’m not asking for your permission; I’m just telling you,” Huangfu Yue said calmly, looking at Ji Yuanhan with indifference.

Because of Ji Wan, she had exposed herself, simply because of Ji Wan.

She didn’t want to consider the consequences now, nor did she want to consider the plans she had been laying for many years.

If her revenge would only make Ji Wan feel afraid, then she would give up everything for her.

She couldn’t stand Ji Wan mysteriously entering her world and taking her heart, only to leave her world just as mysteriously.

Her mother had already left; she couldn’t let Ji Wan leave her as well.

“You…” Ji Yuanhan looked at Huangfu Yue’s cold and determined eyes.

Even though she was not old, she made Ji Yuanhan feel a sense of threat.

“Wan’er has never told me that she likes you.”

Ji Yuanhan looked at his unconscious daughter, intentionally lowering his voice so as not to disturb Ji Wan.

“I can give up everything for her and make her stay by my side willingly,” Huangfu Yue replied calmly.

Determination flashed in her eyes.

Ji Yuanhan was about to ask something else when the empress grabbed his wrist.

“If you can save Wan’er, I’ll agree to whatever you want. Please.”

The empress was as if she had found her last hope.

She broke free from the maid’s support, grabbed Huangfu Yue’s sleeve, and said.

“I will,” Huangfu Yue said, her voice a little softer than when she spoke to Ji Yuanhan.

“Hmph, fine, fine. I’ll deploy half of the forest guards from the capital for you.”

Remembering that woman who was as smart as a demon, Ji Yuanhan sighed softly.

It seemed he was indebted to these two mother and daughter in his past life. One liked his mother, and the other wanted to steal his daughter.

But there seemed to be no other way now.

Even the highly skilled imperial physicians had no solution.

Now he could only trust Huangfu Yue. At the very least, she had that person’s mysterious existence left to her.

And Huangfu Yue’s aura was something that couldn’t be found in the entire country.

It was a natural charisma.

“This child will definitely achieve great things,” Ji Yuanhan thought to himself.

He was no longer as resistant to Huangfu Yue liking his daughter.

And Ji Minghao stood like a transparent board in the corner of Ji Wan’s tent.

Looking at the completely unconscious Ji Wan.

A look of pain appeared in his eyes.

But they had already reached this point, so he could only make the best of it.

And Huangfu Yue didn’t say anything else. She gently walked to Ji Wan’s bed, lifted her in her arms, and walked out.

Ji Yuanhan was about to stop her.

“Since you can’t protect her, then hand her over to me.”

Huangfu Yue said, holding Ji Wan carefully as she walked out.

Ji Yuanhan didn’t stop her.

“Jiang Li,” Huangfu Yue called out indifferently after carrying Ji Wan to a deserted corner.

In the next second, a black figure flashed in front of Huangfu Yue and knelt down.

“Cancel the plan. Deploy the troops to Dragon Summit,” Huangfu Yue ordered directly without any nonsense.

“Yes,” Jiang Li replied and instantly disappeared.

She got into the carriage with Ji Wan.

Huangfu Yue’s hand gently caressed Ji Wan’s pale, bloodless face.

“Don’t be afraid. I’ll save you,” Huangfu Yue said, holding Ji Wan and gently kissing her forehead.

But the unconscious Ji Wan did not respond to her.

…

Dragon Summit.

“How are things going with what I asked you to do?” Lan Hongyi asked calmly, looking at the bottomless cliff below.

Kneeling behind him was a graceful woman whose heterochromatic eyes were captivating.

“The蛊毒 has been set. We just have to wait for haishi (9-11 pm) tonight, when the moon is full. As long as we bring Ji Wan into the formation, the Dragon’s Lair Treasure will open.”

Ruyan knelt behind Lan Hongyi and said calmly.

“Heh, well done. Once I get the Dragon’s Lair Treasure, I’ll let you reunite with your sister.”

Lan Hongyi didn’t turn around to look at Ruyan.

In a corner where Ruyan couldn’t see.

The corners of Lan Hongyi’s mouth curved up in a triumphant smile, and a sinister look appeared in his eyes.

Heh, reunite.

She was just a pawn.

Her sister had probably been swallowed by the giant snake in the Snake Valley long ago.

Once he got everything, this woman would be of no use.

Ruyan lowered her head, listening to Lan Hongyi’s casual tone. Her hands tightly gripped the shattered stones on the ground.

Hatred flashed in her eyes.

This bastard.

Meanwhile, in the system space.

Ji Wan had no idea where she was.

She looked blankly at the dark and empty environment around her.

She didn’t even have time to be afraid.

Suddenly, a light source quickly approached her.

It was accompanied by an excited and familiar voice.

“Host!!!” System 111 happily turned into a ball of light and flew around Ji Wan.

“Xiao 1!” Ji Wan’s initial fear turned into a hint of joy.

She had thought that System 111 was gone.

But now System 111 had reappeared.

Ji Wan’s emotions couldn’t help but fluctuate.

After a while, Ji Wan’s excited emotions settled down.

She thought of something, and her happy mood dropped again.

“Xiao 1, did I fail the mission, and that’s why I was sent back?” Ji Wan’s voice was filled with disappointment.

Especially when she thought that she would never have the chance to see Huangfu Yue again.

Her heart felt as if it had been violently struck by something.

“Host, you didn’t fail. You’re just temporarily locked in this… uh, you’ve arrived at the luxurious room provided by the system space! Congratulations, host!”

System 111 couldn’t explain why its host suddenly appeared in the small dark room.

Fearing that its host would start crying again and be difficult to comfort.

System 111 changed its words to comfort her.

“Then when can I go back?” Ji Wan asked, looking at the endless dark void.

“Uh, host, since you’re already here, let’s watch some TV together!!”

System 111 currently didn’t know how it got in, let alone how its host got in.

It could only find an excuse to make its host stay for a while, lying to her for as long as it could.

To prevent its host from crying pitifully over the female lead later, and being hard to comfort.

“But… okay, I don’t want to go back right now.”

Ji Wan had instinctively opened her mouth, wanting to go back to see Huangfu Yue, but she was also afraid of being hurt by Huangfu Yue’s coldness.

So she weakly chose to hide in the system space like a coward.

At least by hiding in her shell, she wouldn’t be afraid of anything and wouldn’t have to face Huangfu Yue…

System 111 looked at its host, who had curled up into a ball and sat silently on the side, not knowing what she was thinking.

A sense of loneliness and helplessness once again lingered around its host.

System 111 was about to play some upbeat music to cheer its host up.

“Xiao 1, I want to be alone for a bit. You go play by yourself. Don’t worry about me.”

Ji Wan put System 111 back in the air, buried her face in her knees, and said softly.

System 111 was at a loss for a moment.

It wasn’t that the female leads in previous worlds hadn’t made its host sad, but it was rare for her to be so dejected.

But the female lead didn’t seem to have hurt the host?

Its host had just fallen into a strange mental state on her own.

And what Ji Wan didn’t notice was that in the space where she was, besides System 111, a faint light source lit up.

A phantom appeared behind Ji Wan.

The phantom’s figure gradually transformed into a human shape.

Then a beautiful woman in white appeared.

“Lord…” System 111 clearly noticed who it was.

But before it could speak, the Lord God gave it a faint look.

Its voice was inexplicably muffled.

In the next second, System 111 was locked in a small dark room again.

“…” System 111 was dumbfounded for a moment.

 

Otherwise, she won’t survive for three days,” the empress said, her voice trembling with grief.

She never expected that after hiding for so many years, her child still couldn’t escape.
