"No, thank you." The villain smiled politely and took a few steps back.
Su Chen lowered her claws in disappointment. She had to admit that the villainous boss in this world had really good skin. It felt smooth to the touch, but his chin had some prickly stubble.
Su Chengan watched the villain leave with that young master, feeling somewhat unsatisfied.
Sister Rong: "General, just now... did you mean that man was your man?"
"Ah, I wonder which family he belongs to. It would be a waste not to marry him." Su Chen was practically drooling as she looked at the villain's slender waist.
"General." Sister Rong quickly reminded Su Chen, whose eyes were about to pop out.
"I heard that Xidong recently sent a hostage here. That person is probably related to this matter, so..."
Su Chen knew what Rong Jie meant, and patted her back reassuringly, "Don't worry, this general knows what he's doing."
Sister Rong felt somewhat reassured; the General was usually the least likely to leave any evidence against him. But this time… it was the first time she'd seen the General pay such close attention to a man…
After several days of swift travel, they finally arrived in the capital. Su Chen thought she might have a chance encounter with a villain along the way, but she didn't even see a shadow of him.
Once they entered the capital, word got out that some people even came out to line the streets to welcome them.
Su Chen had no choice but to mount her horse, smile, wave, and be escorted back to the Su residence.
The original owner's grandmother passed away a few years ago, and because the original owner's distant parents had left when she was young, she was the only one in charge of the household now.
With no one to restrain her, Su Chen completely let loose. The emperor hadn't summoned her to the palace yet, so she was happy to be free. She played football and swung on the swings every day, and practiced swordsmanship from time to time. She regained about 80% of her original skills.
However, she still couldn't control her internal energy well, and would fall down again after only lifting half of her body. Sometimes she would fall and end up with a bruised and swollen face, and everyone in the manor thought that the general had suffered a serious injury, which was why her power had greatly decreased. As a result, nourishing medicinal meals were brought to her room every night. This caused Su Chen to have nosebleeds like crazy these days, and she even thought about directly grabbing a certain villain and taking him back to the manor to force herself on him.
But... she really didn't know where the villain was hiding! Every time she asked Ningwu, the only answer was "guess," and at those moments Su Chen wanted to twist her head off and kick it like a ball.
Finally, today, His Majesty has summoned me.
In the main hall, Su Chen saw the villainous boss again, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
"My dear minister, are you not satisfied with the reward I have given you?" The Emperor sat upright on the dragon throne, his voice carrying an imposing authority.
Su Chen came to her senses and bowed, saying, "Your subject dares not. I was just thinking about where I should go to have fun after receiving the reward."
"Hahahaha..." the Emperor laughed, "He is still young after all."
Su Chen rolled her eyes, looking down at something she couldn't stand. "Is she really just young?" Those five words were quite a double entendre. Did they mean she wouldn't amount to anything, or that she couldn't cause any trouble?
When Su Chen looked up again, a smile graced her face. Looking closely at the monarch, she could clearly see the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, which appeared to be those of a kind middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties. But what Su Chen saw was the scheming hidden in every wrinkle.
After all, she was an empress, and how could she be an ordinary person who had stayed in that position peacefully for so many years?
But... she really wanted to stir things up. Like forming a faction and joining forces with a dragon or something. If she could be by the side of the next empress when she was on the verge of death, wouldn't she have everything she wanted? She could experience the exhilarating life of turning the world upside down with a flick of her wrist.
