Chuanyu thought about how her younger sister Wen had eaten three big bowls of rice for breakfast. She guessed that since Wen could eat as much as ever, there was probably nothing wrong with her body. She was probably just in a bad mood, and she should feel better after resting today.
Everyone stopped worrying and went about their own business.
In the palace, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and his youngest son emerged from the Ganlu Hall, accompanied by Princess Huajing from the Western Regions.
After leaving the palace, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel politely bid farewell to Hua Jing, but his youngest son looked reluctant with a long face.
Hua Jing didn't care. After all, she only wanted a status to stay in the Great Jin Dynasty after marrying this person.
The emperor had already sent someone to calculate the auspicious date based on their birth dates and times. Hua Jing smiled and remained very polite to the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, his future father-in-law.
After the group left, the emperor sighed. Even now, the third son was still not giving up.
"Keep an eye on him. If anything like this happens again, you can forget about being the Minister of Justice."
The emperor glanced at the Minister of Justice, who dared not even raise his head. Although his tone was calm, his eyes were sharp, and the Minister of Justice knew that the emperor was truly angry.
If the princess of the Western Regions really sent someone to assassinate Chuanwen, then his official career is truly over. He didn't even know that the prisoners and jailers were conspiring together. If it weren't for the strict security of the Ministry of Justice, the Third Prince might have escaped!
It's alright if the Third Prince runs away, but if something happens to Chuanwen, he'll be in real trouble!
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will certainly rectify the prisons and take strict precautions!"
The Minister of Justice spoke with conviction, vowing in his heart that such a thing would never happen again!
The emperor waved for the Minister of Justice to leave, and was rubbing his temples with a headache when Chuanhai hurriedly requested an audience.
Ever since Chuanwen returned to the Marquis of Changxing's residence, the emperor frequently summoned Chuanhai, asking him to recount all the big and small matters Chuanwen had revealed, from major national affairs to the personal affairs of a particular minister—he was happy to listen. National affairs concerned the fate of the nation, while minor matters were merely for amusement.
Despite his headache, the emperor was still looking forward to what Chuanhai would bring, but when Chuanhai came in, he stammered and didn't know how to start.
The emperor frowned upon seeing this and asked him, "What's wrong?"
Chuan Hai had no choice but to explain the script update for Chuan Wen in detail. The emperor was delighted to hear this. He thought the villainous female supporting character was quite suitable for Wen Yatou, since Wen Yatou was a bit crazy. A villainous character would naturally be suitable for a crazy girl to play. In any case, the beautiful, sensible, and virtuous Chuan Yu was not suitable.
Hearing the emperor praising his daughter, Chuan Hai's lips twitched. "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that there's a sledgehammer hidden under my daughter's bed?" His daughter was indeed pretty and sensible, but her skill was completely unnecessary.
However, his hurried trip to the palace was not mainly to talk about these things, but to deliver a message that she had learned that she had become the villainous female supporting character again and had given up!
The emperor frowned deeply. That wouldn't do. The crown prince had already gone to smelt iron and steel according to the method given by Chuanwen, and he had also almost finished with the glass and other light industries. It was precisely the time when Chuanwen's help was needed. How could she abandon her responsibilities?
While Chuan Hai and the Emperor were discussing solutions in the palace, Chuan Wen from the Marquis of Changxing's residence took action first, as it was lunchtime.
Chuanwen woke up automatically at lunchtime after sleeping all morning. She rubbed her rumbling stomach and felt a bit craving a feast at Xianhelou Restaurant. So she got up and pulled out a small box from under the bed. The box was filled with various jewelry and gold and silver items—her own little treasure trove.
After collecting some gold and silver and stuffing it into his purse, Chuanwen shook his purse, opened the door, and called out to Wenxue, who was still guarding the roof in the sweltering heat, "Let's go splurge!"
Sigh, while I can still survive a few more episodes, Wenxue will soon be humiliated by bandits and then jump off a cliff to commit suicide. While Wenxue is still alive, let's take her out for a good meal as a farewell gift~
Chuanwen was filled with regret, but Wenxue, who was about to come down from the roof, almost slipped and fell.
She...she'll be violated by bandits?!
He... he even jumped off a cliff and committed suicide?!
Wen Xue's pupils dilated, filled with disbelief. She simply couldn't believe that this was her fate; it was too tragic!
Following Chuanwen to the Crane Tower, and listening to his innermost thoughts along the way, Wenxue finally understood why she ended up that way—it was because she had discovered Chuanyu's secret.
What secret? It's about Chuanyu stuffing a sledgehammer under the bed!
Wen Xue was stunned. This... was it a secret? The entire court knew about it!
And even if she knew, so what? She admired Chuanyu for her gentle exterior but strong interior. But in the script, she felt that Chuanyu was two-faced because of this. In addition, because her fiancé was a snot-nosed person while Chuanyu's fiancé was a handsome general who was both scholarly and martial, she became jealous.
Later, fueled by jealousy, she lured Chuanyu out of the capital and even colluded with a group of bandits to try and smear Chuanyu's reputation. She did this to see if Chuanyu, now without her reputation, would still be pampered and doted on by Xu Wuyou.
Hearing this, Wen Xue was stunned again. She really wanted to dig into the brain of the person who wrote this story to see what she was thinking. What Wen Xue despised most was doing such dirty things. She wanted to be a heroine who helped the weak and oppressed, not a villain who used despicable means!
Of course, the so-called female protagonist is someone with extraordinary luck, which is referred to as the female protagonist's halo in the novel.
Just as Chuanyu was captured, Xu Wuyou arrived and rescued her. Wenxue's tendons were severed by Xu Wuyou, and she was thrown to the group of people. Finally, she dragged her tattered body to a cliff and jumped off to her death.
"Come on, this is delicious, have some more!"
