Su Chen was wondering why there were women in a brothel when she saw two familiar faces appear at the outer window.
A certain villain and the young master who follows him around every day.
What's going on? Do they have homosexual tendencies in Xidong?
No... if that's the case, then wouldn't the two of them be...?
Su Chen dared not linger here; she only wanted to quickly bring the villain back and force the issue to a conclusion.
Su Chen, relying on the original owner's martial arts skills, jumped directly out of the window (don't try this dangerous move). In order to land in a cool way, she even struck a standard Marvel hero pose like a squirrel landing.
unexpectedly……
At that moment, she heard the sound of the corrugated cover shattering.
A wail echoed through the sky, and the next day, news spread throughout the streets and alleys that the general had jumped from the third floor of a brothel and shattered his knee. Of course, this was accompanied by all sorts of gossip: some said the male prostitute was so ugly that he scared the general into jumping off the building; others said the general was trying to dine and dash; still others said a handsome man was seen outside the window and the general chased after him in a panic… But let’s leave those aside for now.
In short, Su Chen made a huge fool of herself in front of a certain villain. Her face was shattered along with her kneecap.
If we were to try and twist a good thing into this misfortune, it would probably be that a certain villain, out of gratitude for a previous favor, personally carried Su Chen back to the General's Mansion.
He said a few indecent things before hugging me.
In Dongqiu Kingdom, for a grown woman like her to be carried back to her mansion by a man was incredibly shameful! Especially since she was a celebrity.
Thinking about all the stares she received yesterday, Su Chen felt like banging her head against a wall. So much so that… she didn't even get to properly enjoy the villain's warm embrace yesterday. It's really… such a shame.
Because of her fracture, the Emperor granted her an exceptionally long leave. Su Chen thought that the old woman probably didn't want her to return to the court and was probably now happily praying in the Buddhist hall that she could stay at home a little longer, preferably forever.
Yesterday, I was in so much pain that I didn't even have a chance to speak with the villain, so naturally I didn't get his name in this world. However, the villain said he would come to check on me another day. I'm sure I'll have a chance to see him again in the future.
Su Chen was bored looking at the square sky every day, so she used the gold that the emperor had given her to hire an opera troupe to sing Qinqiang opera for her every day.
Su Chen especially liked the part in Hei Ding Benli where the Empress Dowager and Xu Liang were arguing the most: "When the earth deceives the heavens, all grasses grieve; when the heavens deceive the earth, the seedlings fail to grow. When a subject deceives the ruler, he should be executed; when the ruler deceives the subject, he should be stripped of his salary."
These two sentences are the essence of the story. I wonder if the Emperor has any spies in her general's mansion who heard them. If they reach her ears, they'll probably infuriate her.
In the original owner's memory, the emperor was sometimes good and sometimes bad, but there was no doubt that he valued civil affairs over military matters, favored his maternal relatives, and placed his own confidants among them. It's hard to say whether this monarch was competent or not, but he was a master at manipulating power and people's hearts.
Su Chen was very happy to have this opportunity to skip court, but at the same time, she also had fewer opportunities to sow discord between her and Su Chen.
"Little Ningning, who's the female lead in this world? Give us a hint~" Su Chen whispered.
Ning Wu chuckled, "The female lead will naturally be the next emperor."
"What about the male lead?" Su Chen asked indirectly.
Ningwu: "Male protagonist, you've encountered this before~"
Su Chen: "Who?" The male lead is usually handsome and dashing; she'd definitely remember a man like that if he appeared before her. Then...who could it be?
"That's the gentle young master who's with your villainous boss."
