He Yunxiao kept slandering the Emperor Yan in his heart, but his nose was very honest as he breathed in the fragrance in the Emperor Yan's bathroom.
To be fair, the smell was quite pleasant... but the thought that the Emperor Yan was a man sent a chill down He Yunxiao's spine...
This matter needs to be viewed dialectically using dialectics.
The fragrance smells nice, but I like the fragrance just because it smells nice, not because I like men.
He Yunxiao tiptoed out of the bathroom, and was about to head towards the hiding place on the border map when he was stopped by a clear, cold female voice.
"Who are you?"
He Yunxiao steeled his resolve. He couldn't be soft-hearted when he was out and about. If the maid discovered his whereabouts, even if he didn't kill her to silence her, he should at least knock her unconscious so he could escape.
Fortunately, he was facing away from the maid. If he was fast enough, he could knock her unconscious before she could see his face!
He Yunxiao had many thoughts running through his mind, but it only took him a moment. He activated his full lightness skill and attacked the maid behind him without hesitation!
However, when He Yunxiao turned around and used his lightness skill to rush to the maid's side, raising his hand to knock her unconscious, he unfortunately saw her face. After that, He Yunxiao was completely stunned and couldn't move like a stone statue.
The woman He Yunxiao was about to knock unconscious was not dressed as a maid at all, but rather looked like she had just come out of the bath. Her hair was damp, she was wearing a loose silk dress, and her face still had a fresh pink hue from her bath.
But none of these are the most important things; the most important thing is her appearance!
The once eloquent He Yunxiao was now stammering, "Meng...Meng...Mengbao?"
The woman, fresh from her bath, stood gracefully before He Yunxiao. Her dreamlike features were strikingly similar to those of Princess Xiaoyue of the Great Qi Dynasty, He Yunxiao's Mengbao.
"Mengbao?" Under the shock of reality, He Yunxiao's mind went blank.
The woman looked at He Yunxiao and smiled gently, saying, "It's me."
"Mengbao? Is it really you?"
"It's me, don't you believe me?"
"I believe you. But why have you come to the State of Yan?"
A glint of light flashed in the depths of the woman's beautiful eyes; she heard "also."
"I've come to find you. Have you finished your work?" The woman who looked exactly like Li Qingmeng said with a gentle smile.
"Just a moment, wait for me."
He Yunxiao ran off to retrieve the border map of Yan. The woman's expression completely changed after He Yunxiao turned his back to her. The gentle smile that had graced her beautiful face vanished, replaced by ruthlessness and indifference.
Her face remained the same, but her expression had changed, as if she were a completely different person. From a harmless little white rabbit, she had transformed into the fiercest predator of the night.
If He Yunxiao had seen her with that expression from the beginning, he would never have associated her with Mengbao in the slightest, even if they looked exactly alike.
He Yunxiao took a couple of steps and suddenly realized something was wrong.
Mengbao needs to take charge of the overall situation in Yinjing, and she will never go to Jingtian with me under any circumstances. Even if I were more important to Qi than to me, Mengbao wouldn't abandon the people of Yinjing for personal reasons.
So...who is she...?
When He Yunxiao regained consciousness, the answer was obvious.
The only person allowed to bathe in the Yan Emperor's palace is the Yan Emperor himself!
She is the Emperor of Yan!
He Yunxiao's breathing was slightly rapid. The customs and traditions of Qi and Yan were the same, the Queen and Empress Dowager of Yan used the same Golden Feather Token, and even the Emperor of Yan was a replica of Meng Bao...
Twins?
Why?
What secrets lie between Qi and Yan?
Why aren't you leaving?
Behind He Yunxiao came the gentle voice of the Yan Emperor.
The voice that had just seemed so beautiful now made He Yunxiao feel like he had a thorn in his side.
He Yunxiao turned around cautiously, staring intently at the Yan Emperor, and said, "You are the Yan Emperor, aren't you? Stop pretending."
To He Yunxiao's surprise, the woman didn't laugh out loud like a typical villain after her identity was exposed. Instead, she frowned like a misunderstood little girl and said, seemingly confused, "What are you pretending for?"
"You are the Emperor of Yan!"
"Yes, that's me."
"You're pretending to be my dream baby!"
The Emperor of Yan pouted slightly, feeling wronged. "I didn't. You're the one who called me that."
"I……"
Seeing the Emperor Yan's expression, He Yunxiao was at a loss for what to do.
No! The Emperor of Yan is cunning and treacherous! I cannot be deceived by her sweet words!
System! Show me her information!
With so many scenes involving the Yan Emperor, and her frequent clashes with He Yunxiao, Mengbao, and Sister Jiang, He Yunxiao doesn't believe she isn't the female lead! If she is the female lead, the system will reveal her personality, and then... whether this girl is "naive" or a "green tea" will be fully exposed!
However……
Name: Li Qingmeng
Relationship: confidant
Special skill: strategizing
Personality: Strong sense of self-esteem (cares about saving face), lively, and cunning.
Favorability: 100
Difficulty: Extremely Hard
Success Reward: Hundred Poisons Heart-Protecting Pill (Obtained). (After consumption, the body can self-purify toxins, becoming immune to all poisons.)
The system panel made He Yunxiao want to curse!
This damn system actually pulled up Mengbao's information!
She's the Emperor of Yan!
With his beautiful eyes wide open, the Yan Emperor walked up to He Yunxiao, seemingly trusting him completely and not worried at all that he might suddenly harm him.
What are you looking for? I'll help you find it.
When her back was to the Yan Emperor, it was fine, but once He Yunxiao faced her, once he looked at "Mengbao", he couldn't feel any disgust in his heart.
"I need a map of the Yan Kingdom's border defenses. Will you help me find it too?" He Yunxiao asked in return.
"Hmm." The Emperor Yan nodded, then walked past He Yunxiao, leaving a trail of fragrance in his wake.
"If I don't help you, you won't look for it anymore?" Emperor Yan said while rummaging through the cabinet. "I can't beat you anyway. If you want it, everything here is yours. I might as well just take it out and give it to you. Everyone will be happy, and you won't have to search through it. Ah, found it."
The Emperor of Yan took out a scroll of blueprints and handed it to He Yunxiao.
Here, that's what you wanted.
He Yunxiao took it and saw that it was indeed a border defense map of the Yan Kingdom!
He looked at the Yan Emperor in disbelief, unable to understand why this woman would help him.
He Yunxiao bypassed the Yan Emperor and personally searched through the cabinet. Then he realized he had been foolish and quickly opened the system to check the items. Sure enough, the border defense map that the Yan Emperor had given him was indeed a "item" from the system! Now it couldn't be fake.
The Emperor Yan moved gracefully to He Yunxiao's side and said with a smile, "You didn't believe me then, but do you now?"
"Why? Why did you help me?"
He Yunxiao couldn't understand why this Emperor Yan was so different from what he remembered. In his mind, Emperor Yan should have been a ruthless, autocratic, extremely cunning, and meticulous man.
Now everything's reversed! Not only has her personality changed, but even her gender has changed! She's gone from a man to a woman!
