Ning Luo showed no surprise after hearing this. "I knew he came back from the border, so there must be something fishy about him going out again this time."
Su Chen was taken aback. "Aren't you worried about the Sixth Prince?"
Ning Luo nodded, "I'm worried, but I believe he's not so easily ambushed."
“Then you have greatly underestimated His Majesty.” Su Chen smiled. “I have said all I have to say for today. Now it is up to you, sister, to choose which path to take.”
Before Su Chen left, she saw Ning Luo staring blankly at the thing in her hand.
"I don't know if what I said to the female lead will be of any use, since I'm now suspected of spoiling the plot." Su Chen shrugged.
[Probably, since the female lead is a kind person, and anyone she's close to would want to save her, right? Let alone the male lead?]
Hopefully.
Su Chen finally returned to the palace through the space, but was stopped by Ning Wu, who said, "Don't go out yet, there are people in your palace."
"Who?" She clearly told Mumu not to disturb her before she "went to sleep," didn't she?
Ningwu didn't answer directly, but simply said, "You'll know once you go in and take a look."
As soon as I entered the house, I saw a familiar figure from behind.
"Jun Mochen!" Su Chen exclaimed in surprise, "What's he doing here? Is he planning to force me into another bowl of sterilization soup?"
"Quiet down, I'll adjust the view and you'll see what he's doing." With that, Ningwu's claws tapped the keyboard a few times, switching the view to a frontal view of Jun Mochen.
Jun Mochen was holding the puppet's hand on the bed, quietly watching the sleeping face of "Fake Su Chen".
“Chen’er, it’s not that I don’t want this child.” Jun Mochen helped “fake Su Chen” brush a stray hair from her head. “The situation is unstable, and this child has come at the wrong time.”
Su Chen pouted in the space.
"I...how could I not want your child with me?" This was a conversation that sounded like that between an ordinary couple, and Jun Mochen didn't refer to himself as "I, the Emperor." At this moment, it seemed as if stars had shattered in his eyes, and there were even some tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.
Su Chen had never seen the villainous boss cry... never.
"Once the situation stabilizes and the court is purged, I will send all the other women out of the palace. Then they can have a child for me, okay?" Jun Mochen seemed to be asking her, but also seemed to be talking to himself.
Su Chen didn't know what to think, only that her heart didn't feel as empty as before, as if something had filled it.
However, this strange feeling did not last long.
"What should we do? Is he going to stay here indefinitely? How am I supposed to get back?" Su Chen frowned.
“He probably won’t stay here forever,” Ning Wu said calmly. “After all, he’s been setting up a scheme for the male lead. Besides, the female lead can’t escape either.”
Su Chen frowned, "What does this have to do with the female lead?"
Ningwu explained, "If we can accuse the Sixth Prince of treason, and since the Sixth Prince's wife is also missing, her family should also be implicated. This is the law."
"Then why make the female lead run off with the male lead?" Su Chen rolled her eyes. What kind of death-defying missions did the main system give out?
“You wouldn’t know this,” Ning Wuyi said, spreading his hands. “As the saying goes, true friendship is revealed in times of trouble. When two people have a life-or-death bond, it’s not a feeling that will be shattered in a moment of vulnerability, but an unbreakable love based on mutual trust. This is a good thing for both the male and female protagonists.”
Su Chen nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
"The male lead might get injured, to the point where he's on the verge of death. But that's precisely what makes him determined to rebel."
