The next scene was in the afternoon, so Shang Yechu went to redo her makeup and change her clothes.
The process was tedious and lengthy. While working on Shang Ye Chu's face, the stylist asked curiously, "Sister Ye, what exactly did Xiao Feng Que use to kill Eunuch Fu? I didn't understand!"
"You went to see it too?" Shang Yechu asked in surprise. "I thought you were busy styling other people's hair and makeup."
“I’m not always busy,” the stylist smiled. “But your conviction is really strong. I believed it myself, even though I didn’t see what you used to kill him.”
Shang Yechu said helplessly, "I hit Eunuch Fu's Baihui acupoint with that red pill. In martial arts novels, being hit on the Baihui acupoint is equivalent to a death sentence."
"I saw those pills, they were all soft and limp, like putty," the stylist chuckled. "Young Master Xiao, you're incredibly talented, you actually managed to insert that stuff?"
Shang Yechu explained with a wry smile, "I used my internal energy to radiate heat, evaporating the moisture inside, while simultaneously using my internal energy to knead it smaller and smaller..."
These words were so childish that Shang Yechu forced himself to say, "For the same mass, the smaller the volume, the higher the density. Plus, it hardens after losing moisture, and becomes a deadly hidden weapon."
In martial arts novels, internal energy is essentially like an omnipotent perpetual motion machine. From powerful abilities like striking a cow across a mountain to saving lives, to minor ones like helping a hero evaporate alcohol from his body while he drinks, allowing him to drink endlessly without getting drunk, it's all thanks to this guy.
The pill was soft and couldn't be used as a concealed weapon to kill. That's why Eunuch Fu lowered his guard. He never expected Xiao Fengque to use this method to ambush him.
The plot of "River Waves Rising" is ingeniously and bizarrely designed, making it a truly brilliant read. But saying it aloud feels...so strange.
"Hahahaha!" The stylist couldn't stop laughing. "Look at your serious little face, you really look like a little swordsman."
After finishing her makeup and changing her clothes, Shang Yechu immediately began her second scene of the day.
The second scene was with Shi Qing. Shi Qing is straightforward and has excellent acting skills, so this scene was completed in one take.
The production team of "Xiao Feng Que" was like parched land receiving rain; they had never encountered such a cooperative and capable lead actor before. The shadow cast by the online backlash they had endured for so many days had also lessened considerably.
The scene tonight was a night shoot, so it would be filmed after dinner. After a busy day, Shang Yechu finally got a chance to catch her breath. She sat on a recliner, eating her boxed lunch while opening Weibo, which she hadn't used in a long time.
After a day and a night of inactivity on Weibo, Shang Yechu was shocked when she checked her follower count. In just one day, her follower count had surpassed 300,000. The comments on her only two Weibo posts had also exceeded 50,000 each!
Clicking on it casually, I saw that the top comment under the Weibo post she reposted about "Xiao Feng Que" was:
Another nepotism case?
The second most popular comment is even more interesting:
[Hello, the character you portray, Princess Pingzhao, is suspected of involvement in a massacre that wiped out hundreds of people. Please immediately provide evidence to prove the princess's innocence.]
Third most popular comment:
You're really good with your mouth...
The comments section is divided into two camps. One camp's attitude is "Where did this person get such connections?", while the other camp's attitude is "I don't care if she has connections or not, I just want to know if Princess Pingzhao is a wolf in sheep's clothing."
Looking at the trending topics list again, Princess Pingzhao's trending topic was still there. Not only that, but a new trending topic, #PrincessPingzhaoFeudalistDefender#, was added on top of the original one.
Shang Yechu frowned, somewhat bewildered. Last night's episodes of *The Tale of Morning Clouds* and *The Tale of Evening Clouds* featured Princess Pingzhao for less than five minutes. Why were they still arguing?
When Shang Yechu clicked on the post #PrincessPingzhaoFeudalistDefender#, she was immediately at a loss for words.
The plot of one episode of "The Legend of Muyun" is roughly as follows: The princess of the Northern Desert is presented to the emperor. The princess is very beautiful and has a lively and generous nature. The emperor dotes on this princess and immediately makes her the Moon Consort.
As it turned out, this Consort Yue had a beloved childhood sweetheart. She had always wanted to leave the Emperor and be with him. After much effort, Consort Yue successfully eloped with her childhood sweetheart while hunting in the grasslands of Bashang.
Little did anyone know that this elopement plan was actually a conspiracy by another of the emperor's concubines to bring down Consort Yue. Consort Yue had just run away with her childhood sweetheart when this concubine betrayed them, allowing the emperor to catch Consort Yue and her sweetheart red-handed.
Everyone thought the old emperor would secretly execute the doomed couple, but unexpectedly, Consort Yue suddenly rushed up to the emperor and said something about love, magnanimity, virtue, and that love is about fulfillment. The old emperor actually seemed to be moved!
After hearing these words, the old emperor expressed his willingness to spare the ill-fated couple. He not only spared their lives but also sent people to send Consort Yue and her childhood sweetheart back to their hometown in the Northern Desert so that they could live a good life.
Fearing that Yuefei's father would blame his daughter, the old emperor even wrote a letter in front of Yuefei, saying that he did not care and asked the leader of the Northern Desert to grant Yuefei and her husband's wish, and asked Yuefei to hand it to the leader of the Northern Desert herself.
Everyone was shocked, thinking that the emperor had changed his mind and actually fell in love with the little princess of the Northern Desert, and even spared her life for love!
Everyone was moved by the old emperor's great spirit of "love is to fulfill", but Princess Pingzhao privately questioned, "After all, Consort Yue betrayed the emperor. This punishment may damage the dignity of the imperial family."
These words were spoken between the father and daughter alone. After Princess Pingzhao asked this question, the emperor asked the princess if she wanted him to execute Consort Yue.
Princess Pingzhao neither confirmed nor denied it, only saying that everything depended on the emperor's arrangements.
Just then, Amodun, the leader of the Northern Desert—who was also the father of Consort Yue—presented a birthday gift to the emperor.
The emperor's birthday was still two or three months away, so it was strange that the Northern Desert was presenting birthday gifts so early. Princess Pingzhao seemed very puzzled and naturally asked about it.
The birthday gift was an exquisite box. The emperor glanced at it casually, without even asking what was inside, and then ordered his attendants to open the box so that Princess Pingzhao could see it.
Princess Pingzhao glanced at the opened box and screamed in fright—it turned out that the box contained the heads of Consort Yue and her childhood sweetheart!
The head, preserved in lime, was remarkably lifelike. According to the gift-giver, it took three fine horses to run itself to death before it reached the emperor's eyes, just before it decomposed to the point of being unrecognizable.
Consort Yue and her childhood sweetheart were spared by the emperor, but died at the hands of their own father!
