Chapter 1689

She didn't even know how she had walked through that era after her arm was severed.

It was too difficult!

Even as a martial artist, one could not be called safe in that era; human hearts were treacherous, and the world was difficult.

Eventually, she retired to an ancient temple and lived a life of seclusion, hoping to avoid the secular world.

However, those who have left the secular world are still people; how could she avoid the various things of the human world.

Thus, she began the path of restoring the country, hoping to restore the Great Ming and make the world a little more stable.

"But, is it really good?"

At midnight, she often asked herself.

The fall of the Great Ming was already a foregone conclusion.

In the late years of the Great Ming, there were starving people everywhere, and the commoners were exchanging children to eat; it was also not a world where people should stay.

Even if the Great Ming were really restored, what could be done?

Jiunan was very troubled and very anxious!

"Five six zero" Despite this, she still focused all her energy on the movement to restore the country.

Burdened with national hatred and family grudges, although she had become a nun, she could not continue chanting scriptures.

Only restoring the country could give her the motivation to live on.

Even if it were just an illusory dream, it would be fine!

Chasing this ethereal goal, until recently.

Jiunan suddenly felt relaxed.

The world had changed, and the universe was clear and peaceful.

She no longer had to bear the heavy responsibility of the world.

She was just a royal princess, had not received imperial education, and had no power to inherit the country.

The days of having the country pressed on her shoulders, pressing her until she could not breathe, were days she never wanted to live again.

Actually—Father was the same, right!

That father who worked hard day and night, yet still could not save the falling sky, perhaps was just like her.

Not having received imperial education, the country had also come into his hands inexplicably.

For a prince who was raised like a pig.

Power struggles were unfamiliar.

The country was unfamiliar.

Governance was unfamiliar.

Everything could make him dumbfounded.

However, since he had sat in the position of the Supreme Ruler, he could not step back.

Because behind him was the abyss!

After abdicating, where would there be a way to live?

History clearly told him that once he abdicated, he feared his whole family would die together.

He had to go up!

Power struggles were like a web, and Father was like the spider on that web, eventually blown away in the wind and rain of the late Ming.

The harder he tried, the faster he failed.

Just like her.

She wanted to restore the country, but she didn't know what to do either!

What power struggles, what politics, she didn't understand any of it.

It was also at this moment that the resentment and misunderstanding she had for her father disappeared.

Truly participating in politics, she knew how treacherous the minds of officials were, and knew how sinister human hearts were.

The situation her father faced was much more dangerous than hers.

Yet he could only bite the bullet, sit on the dragon chair, and bear the pressure from all sides.

He was an emperor; he had to face these things.

Even if he was extremely terrified inside, he had to face these things calmly.

"Chen Jinnan has seen the Ninth Princess!"

Just then, a loud voice rang out.

Jiunan returned to her senses, looked over, and saw the Heaven and Earth Society's Chief Helmsman, Chen Jinnan, bowing respectfully.

"It's all a matter of the previous dynasty, Chief Helmsman; in the future, just call me Master. This new dynasty is very good; there is no need to call me Princess anymore."

Jiunan had completely figured it out.

She no longer needed to keep the title of Princess of the previous dynasty.

The past should be allowed to pass.

Now, whether she was a nun or returned to secular life as an ordinary person, it was all fine.

The feeling of being free and unfettered was truly wonderful; even just thinking about it, her mood became pleasant.

"Yes, Master." Chen Jinnan did not force it, "I wonder what brings Master to the capital?"

Jiunan laughed: "His Majesty has changed the world, ended the rule of the enemy chieftains, and allowed the commoners to live and work in peace; I am here precisely to thank His Majesty."

"So that's how it is." Chen Jinnan laughed, "That is exactly the same as my purpose for coming here. Recently, His Majesty arrived at the overseas islands and recovered the lost territory; I am the governor of those overseas islands. Today I am specifically here in the capital to report on my duties; if Master wants to see His Majesty, why not let me introduce you, how about that?"

"Chief Helmsman has become an official?" Jiunan was surprised, "You are familiar with the overseas situation; governing those overseas islands can be considered making the best use of talent."

"Master is too kind. This is all thanks to His Majesty's appreciation, allowing me, a remnant of the previous dynasty, to serve His Majesty."

Ake stood to the side, listening, her heart intoxicated.

The Heaven and Earth Society's Chief Helmsman actually governed the overseas islands; what a big official.

If Master also became an official, wouldn't she be able to benefit from it?

Thinking of this, her mood could not help but be a bit excited 0...

After talking for a while, Chen Jinnan took Jiunan's visiting post and stood up to take his leave.

"Master, do you want to be an official?" After Chen Jinnan left, Ake asked in a low voice, "In the new dynasty, women can also be officials. If Master wants to be an official, I think it is also possible."

Jiunan hummed lightly, her gaze becoming sharp: "Be an official? Master, I only have good martial arts; if I become an official, should I govern the commoners with force? This official position, it's not that easy to do. If one only wants to act with power and bully the commoners, then wouldn't this official be worse than a pig or a dog?"

"In that case, it's better not to do it."

Ake heard this and felt a bit disappointed.

If Master didn't become an official, wouldn't she still have to follow Master and eat vegetarian food and chant scriptures?

For a young and beautiful girl, this boring and plain life was truly too cruel.

Aqi nodded gently: "Master is right. Didn't we often see corrupt officials bullying the commoners before? Although Master is kind-hearted, if she becomes an official, she will inevitably be deceived by the people below. By then, wouldn't she be the same as those corrupt officials!"

"Qi'er is right." Jiunan nodded with satisfaction, "Ake, if you want glory and wealth, Master can also point you to a bright path."

Ake's heart stirred, but her face showed fear and trepidation.

"You are not an orphan, but were snatched by me from Chen Yuanyuan; your father is even more famous, called Wu Sangui. Now the new dynasty has been established, and I have no more hatred. You can naturally return to your ancestors."

Ake originally thought it was something good, but upon hearing this, her face turned pale.

3.8 What kind of ghost bright path is this!

Aqi said in a low voice: "Master, that Wu Sangui sold the country for glory and has already been executed by His Majesty. If Senior Sister returns to her ancestors, wouldn't she be carrying a huge infamy."

Ake nodded gently.

Could she recognize this ancestry?

Naturally not!

As long as she dared to say she was Wu Sangui's daughter, the spit of the world's commoners would drown her.

"I naturally know." Jiunan's expression was serious, "Wu Sangui is indeed dead. But Chen Yuanyuan is still here. I remember His Majesty said she was also a person of bitter fate, rewarded her with a garden, and bestowed quite a bit of silver. If Ake goes there, wouldn't it be better than eating vegetarian food and chanting scriptures by my side?"

Aqi was speechless.

She was closest to Jiunan; how could she not know that Chen Yuanyuan had also become a nun.

If Senior Sister really went back, I'm afraid her days wouldn't be too easy. ===== CHAPTER 1690 =====
