"I am Su Bi." Su Bi bowed and greeted Your Majesty.
"You...you...you're a man!?"
"Exactly."
“Then you and…you and Lan Tingyu…” Feng Guang stammered, “…aren’t you two…”
"Whether it's homosexuality or homosexuality, it's all right." Su Bi laughed generously, "It's just that I don't like Young Master Lan. I'm only getting close to him for the sake of the mission."
As Feng Guang calmed down, she hesitated and asked, "Then you are... are you also...?"
"I have always liked men since I was a child, Your Majesty need not doubt that."
Having been influenced by modern culture, Feng Guang quickly accepted this setting, but there was one thing she couldn't understand: "Why do you work for Chief Qian?"
"There's no reason why. It's just that we're on different sides from His Majesty. Perhaps in His Majesty's eyes, we are all traitors and rebels, but perhaps in our eyes, we are overthrowing a tyrant and acting on behalf of Heaven." Su Bi spoke very objectively, and no one could deny that what he said was wrong. In this world, there are actually not many people who are truly heartless and have no sense of self-worth. Sometimes, the so-called villains are just a matter of which perspective the person defining them is from.
Feng Guang couldn't disagree with Su Bi's words, because she herself thought so too. It was like she was nominally a supporting female character, but she always believed that she was the protagonist. She suddenly felt a little melancholy.
"So that's why you helped Chief Qian." She sighed, thinking to herself that there were quite a few promising young men in ancient times, first Mu Liang, and now this Su Bi.
Su Bi said indifferently, "Your Majesty, do you really think that Commander Qian wants to seize the throne for this reason? Of course, he wants to seize the throne because he wants to be the emperor."
Fengguang: "..."
Didn't you say it was because you wanted to overthrow this tyrannical ruler?!
Su Bi remained expressionless, an expression that was perhaps the epitome of sarcasm. Though he showed no emotion, he was clearly saying, "You're so stupid that you're making me remain indifferent."
She chose to skip the topic and instead looked at him with pitiful eyes, "Su Bi, can you...?"
"No." Before she could finish speaking, Su Bi, who already knew what she was going to say, interrupted her, "There are many Imperial Guards guarding the gate. Even if I wanted to help Your Majesty, Your Majesty would not be able to get out."
Feng Guang tried asking, knowing it was wishful thinking to expect Su Bi to help her escape, so she changed her question, "Then can you tell me, how is Gu Yan?"
"Although Prince Qian is imprisoned, his injuries are improving."
She then asked, "Did Chief Qian torture him?"
"Commander Qian has to deal with state affairs, so he doesn't have that much time."
Feng Guang breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that Gu Yan is alright."
"Your Majesty is so worried about Prince Qian, why don't you worry about yourself first?"
"It doesn't matter if something happens to me, but Gu Yan can't be hurt."
"If Su Xu comes, Your Majesty must not say such things in front of her."
She asked, "Why?"
Su Bi said, "I'm afraid that if Miss Su Xu hears this, she might be tempted to use Commander Qian's influence to cause trouble for His Majesty."
Feng Guang seemed to realize something. "You mean... that fortune teller... cough, that Su Xu girl, likes Gu Yan?"
Su Bi nodded. "That's true."
"Fine!" She slammed her hand on the table and stood up. "That sorceress not only helped the chieftain seize my throne, but she even dared to covet my man!"
Su Bi thought to herself, "Perhaps today I can report that His Majesty has finally become full of energy again."
