第1章 论刺杀皇帝成功的概率有多大？

What are the chances of successfully assassinating the emperor?

Outsiders always thought that Ying Jiuque was weak and unable to take care of herself, and was plagued by bad luck, frequently stumbling upon crime scenes.

Until the emperor's birthday banquet, she effortlessly blew half of the assassin's skull off with a brick...

Ying Jiuque wiped the blood from his hands: [Would they believe me if I said I just did it on a whim?][Would they believe me if I could make salt, know where the gold mines are? Would they believe me if I could lead troops into battle?]

The old emperor, having heard her thoughts, said: "...This child is simple and honest, and she didn't ask for anything in return for saving my life. She should be rewarded!"

Afterwards, just as no one understood why the old emperor trusted Ying Jiuque so much, allowing her to rise rapidly from county princess to high rank, Ying Jiuque also couldn't understand why those people were so foolish.

Could it be that she possessed superhuman strength, compassion for the common people, and meticulous planning... all for the sake of a nominal title like Princess?

Princess of the county, princess of the prefecture, count, duke, general... and then the uncrowned king who commands the northern border!

What else, besides that supreme position, could bring her peace of mind next?

Can't a princess ascend the throne?

Power has always been the best supplement for women.

外人一直觉得应九阙柔弱不能自理，霉运连连，时不时碰到个犯罪现场。
直到皇帝寿宴上，她轻飘飘一板砖掀掉刺客半个天灵盖儿……
应九阙擦了擦手上的血：【我说我只是顺手他们会信吗？】【我能制盐，知道哪里有金矿他们会信吗？我会带兵打仗他们会信吗？】
听到她心声的老皇帝：“……这孩子质朴醇厚，对朕有救命之恩也不求回报，该赏！”
之后，就像大家都不明白老皇帝为何那么信任应九阙，从县主开始一路飙升，荣宠太过，应九阙也不明白那些人为什么如此愚蠢。
难道她天生神力，体恤百姓，步步谋划……只是为了郡主之类的虚爵？
县主，郡主，伯爵，公侯，将军……再到坐拥北境的无冕之王！
下一步，除了那个至高无上的位置，还有什么能让她心安？
难道郡主，就不能登基吗？
权力，一直都是女性最好的补品。
