Su Chen knew that Jin Rulan's words were understandable, after all, "General Su" had already died on the battlefield, and it was wise to use someone who would never speak again as bait.
However, although she was said to be dead, she was actually still alive. Su Chen was still not happy that she had been used!
Su Chen frowned and turned to Ning Wu, asking, "What did the female lead and Mu Wuduan talk about?"
“I told you I could avenge you!” Ning Wu glanced at her sideways. “Weren’t you ‘blown up’ by Yue Feng, ah no… Yi Mo Feng? On the day Mu Wuduan and the others built a cenotaph for you, the female lead swore to them that she would definitely destroy the Western Winter Kingdom to avenge you.”
"Mu Wuduan was deeply moved at that time and supported the female lead from then on."
Su Chen nodded, admiring the female lead's ability to seize opportunities to gain buffs.
"Since the female lead now has the support of the soldiers, why does she need me to help her seize the throne?" She didn't understand. If she could force the emperor to abdicate now, she could probably get the throne herself, right?
Ningwu shook his paw. "After all, the female lead is the protagonist, so she has a sense of right and wrong. Of course, most importantly, she wants to rightfully ascend to that position."
"This is too much trouble. Should I tie up the current emperor and make him sign the abdication edict?" Su Chen scratched her hair haphazardly.
Ningwu: "You think that if you tie her up, she'll listen to you?"
Su Chen said firmly, "No."
Ning Wu yawned and said, "I heard that the Kuang family and the Seventh Princess's father's family are not on good terms."
"How did you suddenly... Eh? The Kuang family? That surname sounds familiar, like somewhere..." Su Chen clapped her hands, "That playboy from the Kuang family, the one who took that cross-dressing guqin artist as his mistress, isn't he the eldest son of the Kuang family?"
"Hmm." Ning Wu tilted his head back and stopped looking at her.
Su Chen couldn't help but laugh when she saw her expression.
"What are you laughing at?" Ningwuyong, a husky with its distinctive three-white eyes, glanced at Su Chen.
Su Chen couldn't help but touch her two furry ears. "You never used to remind me like this."
"Cough, when did this system remind you? Don't flatter yourself!" Ningwu's voice grew louder and louder, and he turned his head away uncomfortably when he met Su Chen's half-smiling face.
Su Chen saw the ear slip from her hand, but the smile on her lips only grew wider.
Thinking to myself: What a tsundere! How come I never noticed that the dog system had this attribute before?
Su Chen looked at Ning Wu's dog ears, which seemed to have nowhere to go, and all her previous unhappiness and confusion vanished at that moment.
Looking at the awkward Ning Wu, the pink ball of fluff circling around her, the undisturbed spirit pool, and the unchanging white space, Su Chen smiled.
...
"Where are you going?" Kuang Yiyan asked sternly.
Han Tang clenched her hands tightly in front of her, and said in a steady voice with her back to Kuang Yiyan, "This servant is just going to get some fresh air."
Kuang Yiyan took a few steps forward, her expression slightly grim, and said to her, "You still want to hide things from me?"
"Then what do you think I should do?" Han Tang raised her eyes and asked, feigning composure.
"I've heard His Majesty is unwell." Kuang Yiyan raised her hand, a few raindrops falling into her palm. "Is Han Tang going to the temple in the rain to pray for His Majesty?"
Han Tang's expression faltered for a moment, "Exactly."
Kuang Yiyan scoffed, her expression growing increasingly cold. "How well have I crafted these words for you?"
Han Tang swayed, her voice trembling as she said, "Yi Yan, I..."
"You don't refer to yourself as a servant anymore?" Kuang Yiyan's tone carried a hint of sarcasm.
"I……"
"You bribed my close servant to do things for you right under my nose, and you still think I'll be kept in the dark and know nothing about it?"
