Today, the Holy Kingdom is about to become the new Empress.

Age 17.

He was knocked unconscious after sneaking out of the palace to play.

When the original owner woke up again, she was already in a temple.

Meanwhile, another 'stand-in' has already ascended the emperor's throne.

She succeeded as empress.

After that, the original owner was so devastated by this incident that she stopped eating and drinking and lay weeping in the temple.

He then remained unconscious for a day and a night.

When I woke up again, it was now.

Xiaohua spoke up.

"The original owner's wish was to reclaim the throne that belonged to him."

Su Yan's dark eyelashes fluttered after hearing this.

She asked in confusion

What happened to the original owner of this body in the end?

Xiaohua's voice was sweet and childlike.

"Later, the original owner returned to the palace to try to reclaim her identity, but she was outnumbered and no one believed her."

He was ultimately convicted of impersonating the emperor and executed by slow slicing.

As Xiaohua spoke, she sighed.

"This empress is truly pitiful."

"Is this an era where women are superior to men?"

"No. It's just because she is the last bloodline of the royal Su family."

And because the regent Situ Xiu strongly protected it.

He had just ascended the throne.

Su Yan nodded

"profound"

She responded.

Then, he obediently picked up the steamed bun in his hand and continued eating.

Eat your fill first.

Let's talk about the struggle for the throne.

The man who had just given Su Yan the steamed buns watched as Su Yan finished eating them all.

A warm smile graced her face.

"Would you like another one, young lady?"

Su Yan shook her head

No.

This body has a very small appetite.

I was full after eating just one steamed bun.

The man probably felt that Su Yan was having a hard time all by herself.

After a moment of contemplation, he said

"My name is Zhao Mu. I am on my way to the capital to take the imperial examination. May I assist you, young lady?"

Su Yan shook her head

"Need not."

Zhao Mu walked up to Su Yan and comforted her.

"Miss, don't be afraid. I'm not a bad person. I'm just worried that it's dangerous for you to be out there alone."

"What is the young lady's name?"

Su Yan looked up.

“Su…”

She just uttered one word.

Kohana Michi

"Host, in the Heavenly Saint Kingdom, Su is the imperial surname; ordinary people do not have this surname."

This is a major taboo. Su Yan is also the name of the Empress, known to everyone.

If you share the same name as him, you will be sentenced to death.

Su Yan uttered one word, then swallowed the rest.

Her voice was a little hoarse when she woke up.

In addition, there is only one person in the world with the surname Su.

Zhao Mu listened to a single word she uttered and asked...

"Song? Is it Miss Song?"

Su Yan blinked.

His pale face looked rather pitiful.

Then, nod.

"kindness"

Zhao Mu asked again

"What is Miss Song's name?"

"···Su"

"So it's Miss Song Su. I apologize for my overstepping my bounds."

Su Yan leaned against the wall.

I stayed for a while.

The steamed bun I ate had its effect.

I've regained some of my strength.

She leaned against the wall to stand up and walked outside.

Zhao Mu was surprised

"Young lady needs to rest more."

Su Yan shook her head

"There's still something to do."

Zhao Mu saw that she was alone, and seeing how thin and frail she was, he was really worried.

He followed Su Yan outside.

However, they did not rush forward to disturb them.

Instead, he followed Su Yan at a distance of about three meters.

Xiaohua whispered

"Host, that scholar has been following you."

Is he interested in you?

Su Yan's eyes were clear and slow.

That's someone else's business.

It has nothing to do with her.

The gossipy little flower should shut up obediently.

As we walked...

The sounds of fighting came from ahead.

"Protect the prince and get him out of here first!!"

She looked up, but because it was a bend in the road and there were trees in between, she couldn't see what was happening on the other side.

Even from this distance, I could smell the salty, fishy odor of blood.
