Game World: Am I a toy of the system?

The once bustling Yujing City seemed unusually quiet today. Apart from the people who were hurrying around to make a living, the only people on the streets were the fully armed patrolling soldiers.

Huoyun and Wuya were taken away to rest, but Yao Jun was still riding the maroon warhorse.

His black hair covered the blood-red scar, revealing only two black eyes. He looked steady and calm, like two different people compared to the madman he appeared in the enemy camp before.

At this moment, all four gates of Yujing City were controlled, and the defenders and city guards in the city also defected to Yao Jun's side.

When the cavalrymen in black robes and golden armor holding the blood-stained white tiger flag appeared in front of the Tiangong city gate, the general, Chen Shu and others walked out of the already opened palace gate to greet them.

"Your Highness, I have fulfilled my mission!" said the general.

Yao Jun looked up at a corner of the palace in a daze. He did not reply immediately. His eyes moved slowly, as if he was looking for something.

The scene fell silent for a moment, and no one dared to disturb the man at this time.

"Such a high palace can defend against foreign enemies, but can it defend against people's hearts?" Yao Jun seemed to be asking, but also seemed to be just talking to himself.

The general and others didn't know what to say, so they chose to remain silent, but they all felt that this sentence was very knowledgeable and worthy of deep thought.

Yao Jun retracted his gaze, looked at the general and said, "Uncle, thank you for your hard work."

Yao Chuan narrowed his eyes and smiled: "It's not hard, the queen knows you are here and is waiting to see you."

Yao Chuan, a native of Yao country, is the younger brother of Yao Shan, the current ruler of Yao country. His name means mountains, rivers and streams.

But after he grew up, he lived in Yujing City, joined the army here, and was promoted to general. Although he relied on the relationship with his eldest sister-in-law Ji Shaorong, he was also very capable.

Yao Jun pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "Let's go see my brother first, then visit my eldest sister-in-law."

Yao Chuan looked up at his nephew in front of him. His face was full of fatigue and his golden armor was still bright red.

He had already heard about the battle outside the city and knew how brave his nephew was, charging alone towards an alien army of hundreds of thousands!

With this kind of courage and personal strength, even if the ancient Ying Yu was reborn, he would be no more than this.

Yao Chuan puffed out his chest proudly.

These are the good sons of their Yao country and the good descendants of the Yao family!

"I'll lead the way for you." Yao Chuan said happily.

Yao Jun naturally knew what his uncle was thinking, and he curled the corners of his mouth into a faint smile.

Yao Jun did not dismount, but followed Yao Chuan slowly into the Heavenly Palace. When he passed by Chen Shu and the generals of Mi State, he nodded to them.

Although there are still many things to do next, there is no need to rush.

An unprecedented war just ended today. Although everyone is excited, they are also very tired. It is time to have a good rest.

The generals and princes who came to support the princes accompanied Yao Jun to see the emperor's holy face in the hall where the coffin was kept, and then went to rest.

After helping his cousin close his eyes, Yao Jun walked out of the hall.

When he got to the door, Yao Jun took a look at Ji Hua who was being carried with his hands tied behind his back. He ignored his intention for the time being and turned to look at a servant in the palace: "Take me to see the queen."

The waiter bowed and led the way, and Yao Jun followed behind him towards the Six Courtyards in the Heavenly Palace.

Queen Daji's residence consists of several functional palaces, and the main bedroom for sleeping and resting is called the Jade Palace.

The queen’s surname was Mi and her name was Yanhua. She was a gentle and virtuous beauty, the second daughter of the previous ruler of the Mi State.

Yan Hua married Ji Ming at the age of sixteen. The couple lived in harmony for more than thirty years. During this period, they had four sons and two daughters, and Ji You was the youngest son.

Now that the truth about Ji Ming's murder has come to light, she is the most hurt woman. But even though her heart is in extreme pain, she has to cheer up and help manage this huge palace and the emperor's funeral!

Because of the news blockade, Yan Hua didn’t know much about the outside world. It was not until the emperor passed away and the ministers entered the palace that they learned about the current situation.

From that day on, Yan Hua buried her hatred deep in her heart and continued to pretend to be virtuous and gentle, just waiting for the man that her husband always talked about to come over!

When she learned that Yao State outside Yujing City had joined forces with other vassal armies to fight a great war against foreign races, and that Lord Yao had personally led the Four Elephant Cavalry to fight, the queen almost couldn't hold back the hatred in her eyes.

Wearing luxurious and beautiful golden queen's dress, Mi Yanhua knelt quietly on the high platform, her hands grasping her knees so hard that her joints turned a little blue.

The maids who had served by her side for many years had become old maids. They looked at the queen with great concern. They wanted to comfort her but didn't know how to say it.

The old maids who were equally sad and heartbroken could only curse Ji You and Ji Hua, as well as those unceremonious women, in their hearts. They could never atone for their sins even if they died a thousand times!

At this moment, the waiter in front of the palace door shouted excitedly: "Welcome, Your Highness!"

Mi Yanhua's heart skipped a beat, her body stiffened for a moment, and then she suddenly raised her head to look towards the palace door.

Yao Jun walked around the screen and saw the woman who should have been the most noble woman in the world. At this moment, her face was pale and she seemed to be crumbling.

With a solemn expression, Yao Jun ignored everything else and strode up to the platform, holding up the queen who was about to fall, and said in a deep voice: "Sister-in-law, brother, you are too late!"

Mi Yanhua is one of the few people who knows that Yao Jun is disfigured. Like Ji Ming, she has watched him grow up, and her feelings for him are not as shallow as those of other Tian family members.

Looking at the exhausted Yao Jun, he hadn't even had time to wipe the dried blood off his hair. The red cloak behind him had now turned black, and the golden armor had turned red and gold.

All of these show the brutality of the war outside the city.

"Brother Jun, you are not hurt?"

Seeing Yao Jun like this, Mi Yanhua temporarily forgot her hatred, and concern and worry for her brother emerged from the bottom of her heart.

Yao Jun raised his head, looked at his brother and sister-in-law who were concerned about him, and shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's all the enemy's blood, I just didn't have time to clean it."

After a pause, Yao Jun asked in a deep voice, "Sister-in-law, how is your health these days? Have you asked the doctors to check it out?"

Mi Yanhua shook her head and said nothing happened, then asked the maid beside her to prepare hot water, and then said: "Jundi, go and wipe yourself and change into clean clothes. Sister-in-law is fine, but... you..."

Before he could finish his words, he burst into tears.

When Mi Yanhua learned the news of the emperor's death, she felt as if the sky was falling and the world before her eyes became dark.

Without the support by his side, Daji is still in a precarious situation.

After learning what Ji You and Ji Hua had done, Mi Yanhua fainted twice. She had no one to tell about the pain in her heart and could only hide her hatred.

Now that Yao Jun had finally arrived, Mi Yanhua's tense nerves could finally relax.

Yao Jun signaled to the maids on both sides to support the queen, but he did not leave. He glanced at the food on the table and his heart sank. He wondered how long she had not eaten.

"Sister-in-law, please have a good rest. Now that I'm here, no one will dare to bully you anymore. I will avenge my brother!" said Yao Jun.

The old maids were trying to comfort her, but it was of no use. Mi Yanhua was immersed in grief and unable to extricate herself.

That is an evil act of son harming father, and brother harming elder brother. Who can tolerate this!

During these few days, Mi Yanhua was in severe pain all the time, but she had to endure it.

Having to act as gentle as before in front of Ji Hua only deepened the pain.

Seeing that he couldn't appease her, Yao Jun apologized and raised his hand to gently tap Mi Yanhua's neck.

Seeing his sister-in-law fainted and fell into the old nanny's arms, Yao Jun stood up, his expression instantly becoming extremely cold.

"Please ask the doctor to come to the palace and treat the queen."

His Highness's servant immediately ran off to fetch a doctor.

Taking a deep breath, Yao Jun's expression softened a little, and he instructed: "Help the queen back to the bedroom to rest. Remember to call me when she wakes up."

After the old maids helped the queen leave, Yao Jun looked around the palace and everything he saw was still so familiar.

At this time, the maid who had gone to prepare hot water came back.

Yao Jun thought about it, turned around and followed her. He really needed to change into clean clothes now.

However, he no longer needs the queen's maids to serve him, as he has his own attendants, which is mainly against etiquette.
