Arc 2 Chapter 20: The Queen in the Deep Sea 2

ED: Anna

[Host, the remaining life of the body this time is fifty years, please enjoy it.]

Thank you, I will cherish this life.

When Su Xin remembered Qu Xingchen, who had her heart in her mind in the last world, she could not wait to go back. 

Su Xin’s fishtail swayed and she swam a little towards the pool because the person sleeping on the big bed in the bedroom moved. 

Li Yunxi woke up, yawned, stepped on her slippers, and walked towards Su Xin. 

She leaned on the transparent glass of the pool and looked at Su Xin who was locked inside, with a smile.

“Good morning, Miss Mermaid.”

Su Xin gave her a cold look and turned her back to her.

The pool is surrounded by three and a half sides, using special material, because, in the beginning, the glass was directly broken by the original owner. The second princess wanted to touch her but was almost scratched.

The original owner showed great attack power. The glass of the rebuilt pool was the thickest glass of the latest research, and the semi-enclosed shape will not allow the original owner to escape.

To be honest, Su Xin couldn’t believe that the girl who was just lying on her glass was the fierce and scary God of War in the legendary center. The princess showed mildness and harmlessness, revealing a soft and cute feeling. Most importantly, she had a loli face.

The face of someone who was mixed race, with deep and delicate facial features, like a doll with baby fat. It was a person who you can’t help but exclaim ‘cute’ at first glance.

She had black hair and dark eyes. As she was rubbing her eyes, her sleepy look made people can’t help wanting to hug her.

But such a person was the God of war, and her title made Su Xin feel that she was very dangerous.

Li Yunxi touched her nose. Today’s Miss Mermaid was still unhappy and didn’t even look at her properly.

But it is also impossible to give her a good look. After all, she was now trying to attack the sea, and humans and mermaids have become enemies.

Li Yunxi was also very fascinated. She hadn’t known that the scarred beauty she picked up from the beach was a mermaid in the sea, but since it fell into her hands, it was not so easy to get out.

After washing, Li Yunxi ate breakfast at a place close to Su Xin.

Su Xin faced the wall, her hands clinging to artificially planted aquatic weeds.

There was a sound behind it, something was thrown into the water.

A freshwater grass carp was thrown in, spreading joy in the water, Su Xin looked at the fish swimming in the water disgustingly, grabbed it, and threw it out.

Not surprisingly, this fish should be her breakfast. The owner of this body has been on a hunger strike for three days since she was brought here.

Mermaids feed on fish from the sea, and humans cannot enter the sea with mermaids, but they still have many lakes inland and can be farmed artificially, so there is no shortage of seafood.

The reason why the original owner, Wei Er’ya, did not eat this kind of diet was because of the dignity of the race, and Su Xin did not eat this kind of food because she was disgusted.

Although mermaids do eat raw food, after all, how could there be cooked food in the sea?

The way they eat is primitive and rude, just holding the tadpoles directly, so this beautiful creature is not beautiful at all when eating.

If Su Xin wants to eat this fish, she doesn’t need to clean the fish scales and can bite it directly, but if you do that, the inevitable result is that the original clean pool would be contaminated by the grass carp’s blood. Su Xin would also have a mouthful of scales, so she couldn’t bear to eat it even if Su Xin told herself to treat the thing as sashimi.

Su Xin still found this eating method unacceptable, like ancient savages drinking blood, although she was now hungry.

Wei Er’ya had a large appetite, and Su Xin, who inherited the body, felt the same way.

Su Xin shook her blue fishtail and sank to the bottom of the water, sitting in a small nest that Li Yunxi specially made for her in the shape of a clam.

Li Yunxi saw the bouncing fish at her feet and made people come to clean it up.

“Miss Mermaid, do you want to starve to death in my fish tank? But it would not be so bad, I will just send you to the science lab for them to dissect your genetic structure when you starve to death. Weapons specifically for your mermaids, and perhaps the emergence of artificial mermaids will be made. “

Li Yunxi said so in a leisurely manner, but what she spit out was full of cruel words.

Never underestimate humans, because you never know what incredible and cruel things are hidden in their brains.

They are the weakest and also the strongest.

Wei Er’ya may not believe this threat. However, Su Xin believed that the scientific research development of human beings has reached a very amazing level. This was after all the future.

Humans can build robots and can study genetics. For those who are crazy about scientific research, Su Xin does not doubt the authenticity of the words of the second princess, so she moved her body gently.

“I only like living pets, do you understand, Miss Mermaid, a dead pet is not attractive to me.”

Li Yunxi knocked on the glass of the pool and said with a smile.

“I’m not a pet.”

Su Xin swam from the bottom of the water, crawling near the glass wall, a pair of eyes with the same color as the ocean stared at Li Yunxi, with undisguised anger.

Li Yunxi was amazed by the fierce eyes that seemed to contain the ocean and touched Su Xin’s face with her fingertips across the glass.

“It turns out that you can talk. I thought mermaids were animals, and that they didn’t communicate with people at all.”

Su Xin shook her tail and ignored her.

The mermaid was a really beautiful creature that lived up to the legend, Li Yunxi thought.

The swaying fishtail is not ugly, it is like a gift carefully carved by nature. The fine scales disappeared on the abdomen, and the lovely belly button can be seen from the front.

Blond hair should not belong to the ocean but the color of the sun. She shook in the water. Li Yunxi felt that if this mermaid was in the ocean, it would be more beautiful, just like the goddess of the ocean.

“Miss Mermaid, since you have spoken to me, how about we have a chat?”

Su Xin turned her back to Li Yunxi, pretending that she couldn’t hear what she was talking about.

The situation was very bad now. Su Xin could be fearless in the water, but she was just like a useless fish when she went ashore. She was imprisoned in this big pool, even if she could break the glass that prevented her from leaving. She could not drag the tail away, even if it could become legs, her legs had no strength at all, and she would die if she stayed away from the water for too long.

Without anyone’s help, Su Xin couldn’t escape from here, let alone return to the deep sea and become a queen.

Seeing Su Xin ignore her, Li Yunxi continued her harassment with enthusiasm and engaged with Su Xin.

“I heard that mermaids are very fierce. After all, you did destroy a lot of our things, but I think you are very good. Why did you get hurt on the coast that day, didn’t you say that you are the ruler of the ocean? How could something attack you? “

Li Yunxi was really interested in finding out about this.

Su Xin was hungry, very, very hungry, and had no physical energy to escape, so she felt that she wanted a piece of food that she could eat.

“I’m hungry.”

Su Xin’s upper body floated on the water, and she asked Li Yunxi. As for Li Yunxi’s question, does it have anything to do with her? Does she have to answer?

“Didn’t I just give you, you didn’t want to eat it.”

Li Yunxi crossed her arms and sat in a chair.

Does the mermaid not eat fish? But in the sea, what else can you eat but fish?

“Something else.”

Su Xin, facing Li Yunxi, was quite stubborn.

“Has anyone taught you that as a prisoner, you shouldn’t talk to your enemies like this?”

“Never mind.”

Su Xin’s eyebrows were full of irritability. Anyway, she was not human now, no matter what Li Yunxi said, she can still pretend to be confused.

“What are you thinking about?”

“What you ate.”

Her Royal Highness the second princess recalled her breakfast, delicious seafood porridge, and delicious vegetable pancakes. Do mermaids want to eat that?

“Do you eat cooked food?”

Li Yunxi’s expression was quite weird.

Su Xin Nodded.

“Don’t lie to me, just cause I read less. From where would you get cooked food in the sea.”

Her Royal Highness Princess expressed doubts about this. Does the mermaid seem to believe she was dumb? How can there be cooked food under the sea? She was not stupid.

“Never mind.”

Su Xin stubbornly gave the same answer.

“I’ll ask someone to prepare it for you. I can’t keep my mermaid hungry, right?”

Li Yunxi stepped out of the door and Su Xin nodded with satisfaction.

Li Yunxi personally brought seafood porridge and vegetable pancakes for Su Xin. When she pressed the button by the pool, the glass was lowered by one layer, and Su Xin’s chest could be exposed to the air.

“Here you go, eat.”

Su Xin gave a very vividly interpreted image for the second princess of what is considered eating like a savage, she took a big mouthful of seafood porridge, then her face suddenly changed.

When did the mermaid eat cooked food, let alone know what hot is? Although this bowl of seafood porridge was not at a boiling temperature, it was warm and humans could eat directly, but for the tongue of a mermaid, it was no different from heat torture.

Su Xin’s hot tears flowed out, but she resisted vomiting, stuffed the porridge into Li Yunxi’s hand, and immediately dived into the bottom of the water.

She could breathe in the water, not just relying on her nose, Su Xin stuck out her tongue to let the cold water cool her.

Su Xin, with teary eyes, murmured that she was not afraid of it being hot, because the porridge was warm when she touched her hand.

[Do you think that whatever you think is always right? ]

Fourteen lightly asked.

Su Xin wiped away the tears in the corner of her eyes, saying that the mermaid’s tears would not turn into pearls.

[Host, let me remind you that you are just a future mermaid, not the ancient mermaid and colorful Mary Su.]

Oh.

Li Yunxi held the bowl thoughtfully, Miss Mermaid was looking awkward.

Arc 2 Chapter 19: The Queen in the Deep Sea 1

Get Ready for Arc 2!!
[Note: “Chapter 19” is the total Novel Chaps no. and the “1” is for the chap no. in the arc]

TL: Vaishu
ED: Anna

[In order to ensure that the host is in a good state in the real world and to facilitate the normal operation of the next world mission, Fourteen will help the host to blur the memories. Goodbye]

Goodbye

After washing her face, Su Xin lay in bed and fell asleep faintly. It was noon the next day when she woke up.

After washing, she opened the door and knocked on the door of Qiu Qingqing’s room.

Qiu Qingqing gently opened the door and rubbed Su Xin’s untreated hair.

“I’m so hungry, let’s go cook something.”

“I know, the rice is already cooked, the vegetables are ready, and it’s enough to fry. Or else you can drink a bowl of stewed soup, to cushion your stomach?”

“What soup?”

  “Tofu and Pork Ribs Soup”

   “I want it.”

Su Xin obediently waited for her soup, Qiu Qingqing gently served her a bowl, and started to fry the vegetables.

There was fried pork liver, tomato and egg, chicken wings, tofu and pork ribs soup.

With three dishes and one soup, Qiu Qingqing gently put the rice cooker on the dining table, and the two began to enjoy lunch.

After Su Xin got up and walked around after eating, Qiu Qingqing gently washed the dishes.

Su Xin did not have the feeling of living as a coddled person in front of Qiu Qingqing.

In fact, Su Xin can endure hardships, but she doesn’t need to in front of Qiu Qingqing. Qiu Qingqing will help her get everything done. She just needs to sit at the table and eat. Infront of Qiu Qingqing, she doesn’t have to do anything. Because Qiu Qingqing will help her do it well.

Su Xin was in a daze when she touched the phone, but it was only for a moment.

After she sat on the sofa and played two games, Qiu Qingqing gently took the phone and sat next to her.

After a while, Qiu Qingqing’s mobile phone rang, and she frowned slightly.

“What’s wrong?”

“There is a mission.”

“Aren’t you on vacation?”

Su Xin leaned over, pressed her body on Qiu Qingqing gently, and looked at her mobile phone screen.

Sure enough, it was a task issued by the organization, let Qiu Qingqing decide on her own.

“The organization said it was a little difficult to handle. Three failed, two died and one was seriously injured.”

So they had to let Qui Qingqing take action even though she was still on vacation.

“But if you succeed, you will have a lot of money, and you can extend your vacation.”

Qiu Qingqing gently considered whether it was a good deal.

“Be safe and good luck.”

Su Xin leaned over and kissed Qiu Qingqing gently on the forehead, Qiu Qingqing gently rubbed her hair and nodded.

Qiu Qingqing went out gently, Su Xin was alone in her house, ordering takeaway or instant noodles.

After five days, Qiu Qingqing came back softly, with a bloody smell that couldn’t be hidden. Fortunately, no one noticed at night.

Qiu Qingqing was different from the blatant dark feeling that people can’t help but notice when Su Xin doesn’t hide it. Qiu Qingqing’s temperament was considered gentle, at least no one would think she was an assassin. The dangerous person who wandered on the edge of darkness, in Su Xin’s words, looked like a good woman.

Qiu Qingqing didn’t talk much, and her voice was very gentle. She showed a sense of unhurried elegance in everything she did, even her shots were absolutely neat and tidy.

By the time Qiu Qingqing’s current ability could make her hurt badly, there was not much time.

“It seemed really difficult to get around, has it succeeded?”

Su Xin took the medicine box and began to gently treat Qiu Qingqing’s wound.

Qiu Qingqing nodded slightly, closed her eyes and fell asleep. Su Xin moved for a while and gently carried Qiu Qingqing upstairs, took off the blood coat, and cleaned her wounds.

After everything was set up, Su Xin gently put Qiu Qingqing on the bed. She was afraid of what would happen to her in the middle of the night, so she slept on Qiu Qingqing’s bed.

When Su Xin got up the next day, Qiu Qingqing was looking at her with a rather pitiful expression.

“Xin Xin, I was seriously injured this time, so sleep with me at night”

Su Xin was a little surprised, but did not think about it too seriously.

Qiu Qingqing gently smiled at Su Xin, but sighed silently where Su Xin could not see.

Su Xin doesn’t like to go out. She finds her career exciting enough. When she is fine, she likes to stay at home and do nothing.

After a few months, Su Xin heard fourteen mechanical voice again.

[Hello host, now there is a request from the future plane, do you accept it?]

Su Xin looked at the wonderful spring weather outside and walked upstairs in slippers.

“Qui Qingqing, I’ll take a nap”

After closing the door, Su Xin lay on the bed and chose to accept.

[The request is accepted successfully, in contact with the client, the real world is sleeping.]

Su Xin appeared in a white system space and saw a creature she had never seen before, like a legendary mermaid.

She was floating in the air, her blue fish tail swayed, her breasts adorned with shells, her face was small, her appearance was exquisite, her long golden hair was slightly curly behind her, and her expression made her feel melancholy.

Su Xin was a little dumbfounded, this was a beauty that surpassed the race, and people couldn’t help but fall over.

“Hello, are you the entrusted person of my wish?”

The mermaid greeted her.

“Yes, Hello”

“My wish is to return to the deep sea and become the queen of the clan. That is my mission, please.”

The mermaid’s tail swayed lightly, and there was some unbearable anger and sadness.

“Okay.”

To be a queen, this wish feels so powerful.

The mermaid swam away with her tail wagging, Su Xin looked at her back and closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, Su Xin found herself in the water.

Her appearance was reflected on the water, her face was so pitiful, her ears were pointed, and her fingers were not like human’s, with transparent things like webbeds.

Su Xin looked at the environment where she was. It was a large pool, semi-circular, and she was kept in it, like a pet. In fact, her identity was true.

Not far from the pool was a huge bed. The side of the bed near the window was a desk, and the other side near the door was a wardrobe. It was hard to believe that this was a bedroom, but it was indeed a large area. The wide bedroom belonged to the most favored Princess of the Empire.

Su Xin was receiving the body information, and felt a little headache.

This is the plane of the future, human civilization was already very developed, and the land and sea were now at war with each other.

After expanding all the terrestrial territory, humans wanted to move towards the sea. After all, the sea also has rich resources, but they were rejected by the Rulers of the deep sea, the Mermaids.

Mermaids were a very rare race, but their lethality cannot be underestimated. After seeing the beauty of mermaids, human beings have strengthened their belief in attacking the sea, but they were in a stalemate after repeated attacks.

The original owner, Wei Er’ya, was a very unlucky mermaid. She was an adult and had chosen her own gender. According to the level of the mermaid dynasty, Wei Er’ya should be the fifth child of the queen, that is, the fifth heir.

The rules of the sea were that whoever was the strongest was the boss. On the day of adulthood, Wei Er’ya challenged a giant deep-sea shark. Although she got scarred by the giant shark, she also successfully seriously injured the giant shark.

After she killed the giant shark and was about to return with her victory, the sea swelled, and she was hit by the huge tide to the shore, and since she was out of the water her fish tail turned into legs.

When Wei Er’ya was about to climb back into the sea and turn into a mermaid form and hurry away, she was seen by the second imperial princess, who was walking by the sea, and was taken back to the palace by the second princess. She saw the wound on Wei Er’ya’s body and thought she was attacked by a piranha and treated her.

Wei Er’ya was too weak to maintain a human state, not to mention that she was seriously injured, and she was dying without water.

After talking to the second princess Niu Tau, and hoping that she didn’t have a blabber mouth, Wei Er’ya chose the latter between dying or revealing her identity, and asked the second princess to take her to the bathroom, revealing her fishtail in the bathtub, and they both glanced at each other, and then promptly Wei Er’ya passed out into a coma.

After waking up, she was already in this huge pool, and Wei Er’ya was found by the system and quickly issued a request for entrustment.

Wei Er’ya knew that falling into the hands of humans would not end well, let alone those humans coveting their mermaid beauty, after all they are still in a stalemate.

Humans have been attacking the bottom of the sea for a long time to no avail, and mermaids often let ferocious fish attack ships on the sea, so that the humans cannot touch the sea.

Human beings were greedy for the resources, so the mermaids were naturally very hostile towards them, and they have even reached a point where they can not share the same world.

The second princess took the original owner as a pet and raised her in captivity. As a cherished race of mermaids, she would naturally not kill her.

What made Su Xin feel that the situation was not so serious was that the second princess had not yet planned to send her to any scientific research institute for anatomy, or observation.

After all, human beings are very curious about the structure of mermaids.

Su Xin had no doubt that with the degree of human madness, seeing a female mermaid like her, someone would try to mate with her to see if she could produce anything.

For humans, mermaids were always creatures at the bottom of the sea, but they were something more advanced than those livestock, and still not so different from animals.

Although a mermaid can think and has a force value, it is far from enough to use a mermaid to compare with human intelligence.

Mermaids always acted by instinct, and were relatively straightforward, not very good at conspiring and playing tricks.

This was the reason human beings initially wanted to engage in peace talks and deceive them by the way of negotiation, but the mermaids were not so foolish, while mermaids did not want to kill them, as long as humans appeared on the sea, they would all be killed.

Only a few people knew that the second princess had a mermaid here, and some people wanted to let the second princess treat the original host as a hostage to negotiate, but the original host resisted. She was unwilling to call out and lead her companions here.

The original owner was fine now because the second princess had saved her, and the second princess said that none of her pets were allowed to be held as hostages.

In fact, the title of the most beloved princess obviously wouldn’t hold down many people, but this title was coupled with ‘God of War’.

That’s right, the second princess, who was the most beloved of the empire, was also the famous God of War who fought in the North and South. This time she came to take charge of the sea floor.

We've began a new chapter in Su Xin's life...

Arc 1 Chapter 18: The Courtesan’s Daily Life

TL: Vaishu
ED: Anna

How long has it been that in these fourteen years Su Xin can understand the meaning of all of Qu Feiqing’s expressions, it’s been quite some time so they are very familiar with each other.

When Su Xin and Qu Feiqing met, Su Xin was sixteen, young and tender, and inexperienced, Qu Feiqing, who was twenty-three, was in her prime, exuding vigorous vitality and unstoppable momentum.

As time passed slowly, Qu Feiqing began to grow old, and she also began to panic.

No one can beat time, no one can stay young forever.

She and her lover are seven years apart. When she was in the mature period of a woman, she was charming and lovely, and her lover was youthful, but when Su Xin grows into a charming flower, she would already be old.

But this kind of faint worry was not worth mentioning in the face of the great change that was about to happen. Qu Feiqing stayed by Su Xin’s bed in a panic, her face pale.

[Host, you are going to be out of luck. Judging by the severity of the serious injury, you will die in ten minutes.]

Fourteen issued a verdict in Su Xin’s mind.

Shu Quan cried, her eyes filled with tears at the foot of the bed, but she dared not make a sound for fear that it would disturb Su Xin.

It had happened suddenly, but it was indeed a murder that was planned for sometime.

“I should have killed him a long time ago. I shouldn’t have kept him and let him take over my position in the future. I didn’t expect him to be so capable.”

Qu Feiqing gritted her teeth, her tone full of hatred

Qu Feiqing did not expect that Qu Xingchen would stab her back, and the stab was so hard and deep, it was in the middle of her weakness, and she didn’t even have a chance to recover.

Qu Xingchen has changed from being an immature child to a handsome young boy. He acted very well. After his father died, he was sad for a while. After the sorrow passed, it seemed as though nothing had happened at all. In front of his aunt, he dismissed his father’s death and dismissed his father as a cowardly character.

At that time, Qu Feiqing only regarded this child to have a ruthless temperament and that he could take on a heavy responsibility.

Unexpectedly, he hid his hatred so deeply. It can be said that he has endured humiliation and planned this for 14 years.

“Qu Feiqing, I also want you to know the taste of losing your loved ones.”

Qu Xingchen prepared with two hands. One hand is the front court and the other is the harem. The front court failed, but it’s okay. The plan with Su Xin succeeded.

Qu Xingchen has been close to Su Xin. More than ten years have passed. Even if Su Xin had doubts at the time, she did not expect that he would suddenly make a move now.

The weapon pierced the heart, and she could no longer be saved.

“You will be fine.”

Qu Feiqing held Su Xin’s hand.

“Heal her for me.”

Qu Feiqing’s expression was terrifying, as she looked at the imperial doctor, who was holding the medicinal box.

“Your Majesty, my apologies, this doctor is really helpless.”

The imperial physician bowed his waist and shivered, and said in a trembling tone.

“Get out, get out all of you!”

Qu Feiqing knew this fact,  and yet she was still suppressing her emotions.

Shu Quan knelt and refused to leave, and Qu Feiqing didn’t bother to care about her.

“It will be fine.”

Qu Feiqing sent internal force into Su Xin’s body, trying to warm Su Xin’s cold hands that she was holding.

“It’s not fine, I’m leaving you.”

“Shut up.”

Qu Feiqing was a little out of control, she even looked at Su Xin pleadingly.

“Don’t go okay.”

“I’m sorry.”

Su Xin rarely said sorry, but this time she meant it, sincerely

“You said you would stay with me forever, you can’t lie to me.”

“I really have to go.”

Su Xin was already struggling to speak, and her voice was very low.

“It’s not alright, I’m so cold, and it hurts”

“I’m really sorry.”

I’m really sorry for not being able to stay with you forever.

According to her estimate, Su Xin could’ve stayed with Qu Feiqing for another ten years

Ten years, a very long time, very long

Su Xin didn’t speak any more, Qu Feiqing hugged her

“Didn’t you really want to go out before? After you get better this time, how about I take you out?”

“I will take you to see one of the most beautiful places in Quliu Country.”

“I’m sorry…”

Su Xin said her last words and closed her eyes.

Qu Feiqing’s expression froze, trembling, she put her finger under Su Xin’s nose.

Su Xin was dead.

She really left and won’t come back again.

A depressing roar sounded throughout the palace, and the listeners were flustered and heart-stricken, feeling a lot of sadness.

Su Xin lost consciousness for a moment, and when she opened her eyes again, she appeared in the white space.

Fourteen, she must be very sad.

[The host mission is completed, after deducting all consumption, the real world life span is ten months, the freezing sleep spell is lifted, and you will now return to the real world.]

Su Xin opened her eyes and was at Qiu Qingqing’s house.

Su Xin got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash her face and looked at her reflection in the bathroom mirror.

The mirror surface was smooth, it was a modern glass mirror, unlike the brass mirror, in the ancient times, that was not very clear.

The face that belonged to me, was supposed to be feel familiar, but now it has 

become a little strange.

After all, she had traveled through the past fifteen years and had known that person for fourteen years, that was a very long time.

[Please enjoy your time, the host will be notified when there is a task.]

Okay.

{Extra- The world after leaving}

Su Xin’s body lost its temperature little by little in Qu Feiqing’s arms.

Qu Feiqing held Su Xin silently, lowered her head and buried it in Su Xin’s arms.

Shu Quan stumbled and crawled over, trying to touch Su Xin, but was pushed away by Qu Feiqing.

“Get lost.”

Qu Feiqing stood up, carried Su Xin bridal-style, and walked out.

Shu Quan covered her face and cried, they were no different now.

Although one is an emperor above ten thousand people and the other is a humble maidservant, Shu Quan does not feel that Qu Feiqing is any better than her. She was just as pitiful because of the death of one person.

Qu Feiqing carried Su Xin to the dungeon, where Qu Xingchen was imprisoned.

Qu Xingchen was tied to the torture frame. Someone brought a chair for Qu Feiqing, and Qu Feiqing helped Su Xin to sit on it.

“Goodbye, I’ll punish him for you.”

Qu Feiqing kissed Su Xin’s lips with a gentle expression.

The guards in the prison kept their heads down, afraid to watch the scene.

Your Majesty must have gone crazy.

Qu Xingchen smiled triumphantly at Qu Feiqing, even though he was now scarred.

“Aunt, what you gave to me, I gave it back to you”

Qu Feiqing looked at the torture instruments next to her, and the gentleness at the corner of her mouth turned into a gloomy cold frown.

The screams were endless, and it was tormenting everyone in the prison, and it couldn’t help but numb one’s scalp.

Qu Feiqing was torturing Qu Xingchen, but she refused to let him die. Once she finished, she called the imperial physician to treat Qu Xingchen with medicine.

Qu Feiqing sat on the chair holding Su Xin and stroked her hair.

“She is dead.”

    瞿星辰的脸已经被毁了,他抬起头吐出这句话,笑的像个恶鬼。

Even though Qu Xingchen’s face had been ruined, he raised his head and spit out those words, smiling like an evil ghost.

“I do not want to hear his voice”

The imperial doctor understood, and made Qu Xingchen mute.

 I, this Emperor, is a person in utter desolation. 

Qu Xingchen’s death was inevitable, and he died later by Qu Feiqing’s hands.

During the execution of the sentence, the ministers were all present, and some people yelled at Qu Feiqing that it was not proper for the Empress to be so inhumane. She would be condemned by God if she harmed his body so much.

Qu Feiqing looked at the man coldly, there was a nasty smell with what he said.

“Since you think so, then you can go to hell with him.”

Not proper for the Empress? Qu Xingchen harmed Su Xin, and it was not enough to let him die ten thousand times, and even a thousand swords could not solve the hatred in his heart.

Cruel to the bones? Since she came to the throne, she killed her father and brother, why would she be afraid of killing her nephew?

Wrath of the heavens? Qu Feiqing did not believe in fate, but when she met Su Xin, she began to believe again.

Was it God’s arrangement that she met Su Xin?

Was she too cruel, so God made her suffer this kind of pain?

On the day Su Xin was buried, Qu Feiqing changed her clothes. Regardless of everyone’s opposition, she let Su Xin be buried in the imperial tomb and wrote Su Xin’s name on the royal family tree.

From the perspective of others, Qu Feiqing and Su Xin were both strange women.

Qu Feiqing came out of Lenggong and ascended the throne as a young woman. With brutal methods, she killed her father, killed her brother and forced her other brother to death. She was a tyrant who disregarded human relations.

Su Xin climbed from an unnamed brothel to the bed of the Empress of another country, and finally entered the ancestral temple of another country, where she was listed on the family tree.

He Yunshu learned about Su Xin’s death, and she shed a tear in the capital far away from Li Su Xin.

They have met three times in the past fourteen years. He Yunshu knew that Su Xin was doing well, so she felt relieved, ignored the weird sore feeling in her heart, smiled and blessed Su Xin, and she also had her own man by her side.

But now that Su Xin was dead, He Yunshu felt a little empty in her heart

“Why are you crying?”

The man gently wiped her tears away.

He Yunshu shook her head and said:

“I just thought of the past.”

When I look at the streets, the beautiful girl I met in the past as a young girl myself in a new world is unforgettable.

Qu Feiqing buried Su Xin, and Shu Juan guarded the imperial tomb.

All the brothers and sisters died, and the one who got married and was still close was Qu Feiyun.

The woman, who always laughed, was so matured by that time that she was already the mother of several children.

Qu Feiqing asked for the oldest son from Qu Feiyun’s children and began to teach him carefully.

She taught that child the art of imperialism, the way of the Emperor.

Qu Xiling felt that his aunt was a good Emperor, although many people thought she was cruel and violent.

Qu Xiling also felt that his aunt was alive now, but on the inside she seemed to be dead.

“As an emperor, I’m telling you that you must be decisive, not benevolent.”

“As your aunt, I must tell you that you must hold the things you like, or you will regret it”

“The lesson I’m gonna teach you today is: cut the grass to get rid of the roots.”

If she was not reluctant to kill Qu Xingchen, perhaps Su Xin would not leave her.

She doesn’t have to be what she is now, she has great rivers and mountains, and enjoys boundless loneliness.

When Qu Feiqing began to teach Qu Xiling, she also began to slowly give up on nostalgia.

That person is very wild. If I don’t stay by her side, I’m afraid she will forget me.

I am most afraid that she will forget me.

Arc 1 Chapter 17: The Courtesan’s Daily Life

TL: Vaishu

Qu Feiqing had organized a funeral for her younger brother, with a delicate face that was very indifferent, no sorrow could be seen.

For Qu Feiqing, unimportant people held no value in her life to make her feel sad.

Su Xin looked from far away now and frowned as she watched Qu Xingchen wearing mourning clothes and filial piety for his father.

The prince had committed suicide. While he was not well known, rumours surrounding his death were spread out. Qu Feiqing had no time to think of such things. For her, he was just her younger brother who was held under house arrest, where he would eat, drink and sometimes take his son out to train. She didn’t know why he would die this way.

Qu Xingchen’s face was thin, and his eyes were red. He was only eleven or twelve years old, and right now, he seemed more mature than before. He knelt beside the coffin, his whole body looked like he was shrouded in a dark shadow.

Qu Feiqing’s eyes swept across his body with a thoughtful expression on her face.

In the third year of Su Xin’s stay, Qu Feiyun got married.

Qu Feiyun was not too young anymore, but Qu Feiqing didn’t force her to do anything. Qu Feiyun did as she pleased.

Qu Feiyun was asked to marry the general’s second son, a brave young man. 

When she was about to get married, Qu Feiyun came to look for Su Xin, looking like a young girl in spring, waiting to get married.

“I understand now, it turns out that the way my Empress sister looks at you is really like looking at her wife.”

After realizing it, Qu Feiyun said excitedly that the second son of the general’s family looked at her in the same way, and she couldn’t help but be moved.

“Is this the kind of relationship that exists between you and my Empress sister?”

Qu Feiyun had never thought about that, but now that she thought about it, it was quite strange.

“Yes.”

Su Xin nodded lazily.

Qu Feiyun was about to marry, and there was now one less person in this palace who could speak with her.

“Then you and my Empress sister have a good time, don’t you run.”

Qu Feiyun patted Su Xin on the shoulder.

“You go marry your man. You had to remind me that you snitched on me to her years ago, didn’t you?” 

Su Xin rolled her eyes.

When Qu Feiyun got married, it was so lively. Qu Feiqing gave a huge dowry, and the General’s wedding gift was also not bad.

“Do you also want to?”

Qu Feiqing stood with her hands intertwined in Su Xin’s hands, tilting her head to look at Su Xin.

Su Xin was taken aback and shook her head.

Their love was in all forms, and it was enough to just stay together.

It was really hard to tell the world about their relationship status.

Qu Feiqing’s position was not one that was peaceful at all. Su Xin didn’t know how many people were scheming behind their backs, and Su Xin didn’t want to have more troubles.

Su Xin was not used to the quiet of the palace since there no longer was a princess in the palace who was always smiling and laughing at everything, and no one was screaming like a sparrow.

A few days later, when Su Xin opened her eyes, she saw Shu Juan standing by her bed with a sad expression.

After seeing that Su Xin opened her eyes, Shu Quan hurriedly covered up her expression, looking indifferent and stiff.

“Shu Quan, what’s wrong?”

Su Xin sat up with the support of her elbows and rubbed her eyes sleepily.

Shu Quan shook her head, biting her lip as if she was about to cry.

“Did anyone bully you?”

Su Xin was a little nervous seeing Shu Quan looking like this.

“Will Miss marry in the future?”

Shu Quan asked quietly after staying silent for a while.

“Huh? Didn’t you know that I’m with Her Majesty?”

Su Xin wondered why Shu Quan asked such a question, and suddenly remembered that Shu Quan was not too young. She had reached the age of marriage and probably couldn’t wait with her in this palace for a lifetime.

“Shu Quan, do you want to leave, or do you have someone you like?”

Shu Quan paled, and her expression dimmed.

“Shu Quan should also think of…”

Shu Quan murmured to herself. The Empress had been so obvious to her feelings towards Su Xin and still the girl hadn’t realised, let alone her.

“Miss has been asked to wash up, so you should go take a shower and change clothes.”

Shu Quan bent down and sighed inwardly.

Su Xin was a little confused, and went to the bath to wash, oblivious to what would come after she finished washing.

After taking a bath, Su Xin put on her clothes and walked out with wet hair.

Shu Quan went up to dry her hair, and shortly after breakfast, Su Xin’s hair was almost dry under the warm sun in the courtyard.

When Su Xin asked Shu Quan to tie her hair, Shu Quan did not move, so she changed her clothes first.

“Miss should change her clothes first, then Shu Quan will help you get ready.”

The clothes on the tray were bright red, so colorful; they were wedding clothes.

“Qu Feiqing…”

Su Xin easily guessed as she picked up the clothes, regardless of the fabric or the style, they were all obviously superior in taste.

Su Xin had clearly said that she didn’t need it. She curled her lips and put on a wedding gown. She had never experienced something like this before.

Shu Quan quietly looked at Su Xin, who was wearing the wedding dress, and blinked slowly. This kind of destiny was clearly not meant for her, nor could the dress ever be worn for her. She had realised this a long time ago.

In fact, Shu Quan never expected Su Xin to look at her in that way. More than once, she had thought about what the girl’s future would be like. Or, it was kind of like, when Su Xin met a person that she liked, Shu Quan wanted to stay by the girl’s side, no matter what the girl’s ending would be.

But still, Shu Quan had never expected this kind of outcome. Su Xin was far away from her country, away from the original town, and came to the Palace of another country. She even had an unclear relationship with Her Majesty, the Queen.

Girls can accept each other and end up together, but Shu Quan knew that even then she still had no chance.

Perhaps, for Su Xin, Shu Quan was just a very loyal servant. She had always been aware of her identity and did not dare to expect anything.

But on this day, she couldn’t even lick her wounds alone if she wanted to escape. She had to put on beautiful makeup for her Miss, then watch Su Xin with her own eyes, walk towards another person.

Su Xin saw Shu Quan’s dumbfounded expression and thought about Shu Juan’s reaction.

Fourteen, Shu Quan couldn’t have liked the original owner, right?

[Seems like it.]

It seemed what Shu Quan liked was the Xue Yao who rescued her from the suffering, not Su Xin.

Su Xin had a good memory. She remembered that when she first came through to this place, Shu Quan had said that she seemed a little different.

But most people obviously wouldn’t think of rebirth and crossing and things like that, and it was even more impossible for ancient people. After all, this kind of thing was far too strange.

Has the original owner completely disappeared?

[Yes.]

Su Xin waited for Shu Quan to put her makeup on. Many people and many things did not work out like what people wanted. Su Xin really couldn’t help Shu Quan in this case.

The person Shu Quan liked was dead now, and now living in this body was Su Xin who was trying to play the role of the original owner to help her fulfill her wish. Su Xin didn’t like Shu Quan that way, but simply thought she was a very cute girl, nothing else. Nothing.

Since there were no such feelings, there was no need to say anything more. Su Xin and Qu Feiqing were treating each other well now. They had recognized each other’s status and confirmed their relationship.

Shu Quan carefully helped Su Xin put her makeup on, and when she was done, she put her hair in a bun.

It was still daytime, by the time everything was done.

When it was auspicious, Shu Quan covered Su Xin with a red veil.

Su Xin got on the soft sedan chair and was carried to a place.

Su Xin felt that the sedan chair stopped for some time. She lowered her head, and a thin white hand appeared in her sight.

She got along with the owner of the hand and spent day and night together, so naturally she knew who it was.

Su Xin was carefully led off the sedan chair by Qu Feiqing, because she couldn’t see the road, so she could only move in Qu Feiqing’s direction.

“If you marry me, then you have no chance to ever go back.”

“I know.”

Only one tablet was placed in the position of Gaotang, which belonged to Qu Feiqing’s concubine mother.

(TN: Gaotang means elder/parent. Usually the parent(s) stand in this position to offer their blessings)

First, they had to worship heaven and earth.

Second, they had to worship the Gaotang. 

The couple finished worshipping.

And they were sent into the bridal chamber.

When they were worshipping, Su Xin’s forehead collided with Qu Feiqing, and they knew that they would be together for a long time in the future. Life would inevitably be bumpy, so it was good to be happy.

Su Xin’s memory that night was exceptionally clear, the swaying red candles, the symbols and characters posted on the walls, and Qu Feiqing with frowning eyebrows.

The flamboyant red colours had filled up the entire space, and the tangled kisses went from the corners of the eyes to the lips.

They took part in tying each other’s hair and rejoicing together.

Su Xin’s life was like a sweet sentimental drama, but it would come to an abrupt end one day.

On that day, they would have known each other for fourteen years.

Arc 1 Chapter 16: The Courtesan’s Daily Life

TL: Vaishu

Qu Feiqing sighed lightly, laid out a sheet of rice paper, and started to sketch.

She thought that she was obvious enough, so why did Su Xin still look completely unaware.

Did she really not know, or was she pretending to be ignorant?

Qu Feiqing’s mouth pressed into a thin line. It didn’t matter which it was, but if someone provoked her, they shouldn’t even think about running away.

Su Xin had willingly delivered herself to her door, and she was welcomed.

Qu Feiqing painted until late at night, and the candle in the lampshade had already burned to one-third. She blinked her tired eyes and looked at the painting.

The painting depicted a beautiful woman smiling in between the flowers.

Letting the paint dry, Qu Feiqing picked up her brush again and thought of signing an inscription on it. However, after a moment, she gave up.

Qu Feiqing lay on her bed after taking a bath. She was used to holding Su Xin to sleep from time to time, but now she felt a bit lonely and couldn’t sleep.

Qu Feiqing was a very selfish person. She didn’t want to give more love than the other person, wanting to be the sober one, but now she found out that it was so difficult to reduce her love even by just one point.

Feelings were not as light as people say. It would take a while to let them go.

On the other side, Su Xin was still very depressed, sitting on the bed with her eyes open and not sleepy.

“Miss, is there something on your mind?”

Shu Quan asked softly, with drooping eyes.

Shu Quan had grown more respectful and humble. She was now standing there, with a somewhat indifferent stance. Even the smile on her face was less bright, and she no longer shed tears in front of Su Xin.

“Nothing much. Shu Quan don’t you feel flustered in this palace, being locked up here for such a long time?”

“Miss feels bored in the palace?”

Instead of answering Su Xin’s question, Shu Quan asked one of her own.

“A little.”

Su Xin fiddled with the jade bead on her wrist, which was given to her by Qu Feiqing. She felt that it was a very precious thing.

“Can Miss bear to leave Her Majesty?”

Shu Quan tentatively asked. Su Xin’s movements stopped, and she looked up at Shu Quan.

Su Xin’s eyes were sharp like a needle, and this pricked Shu Quan’s heart.

“You knew my plans?”

“Miss never wanted to hide anything from Shu Quan, did she?”

Shu Quan smiled bitterly, she was Su Xin’s personal servant girl, she would follow Su Xin wherever she went, but she wasn’t blind, it was clear that Su Xin did not want her to follow, but rather wanted to run in the opposite direction to her Majesty.

“Why did you ask me if I was willing to leave her?”

Su Xin was curious about this. What did she show that gave Shu Quan the impression that she couldn’t live without Qu Feiqing?

“Doesn’t Miss like Her Majesty?”

Shu Quan clenched her fists, her heart was filled with sorrow.

“Huh? What? I don’t like her.”

Su Xin was at a loss. She had said there that she liked Qu Feiqing, but it was only affection for physical intimacy. It seemed like Qu Feiqing genuinely liked her.

Shu Quan looked at Su Xin blankly, without any expression on her face, and her voice was very soft.

“Miss you’re so cruel.”

[Host, you are such a scumbag.]

Fourteen couldn’t help but speak out.

“Uh?”

Su Xin was very innocent. She was also curious to understand why she was suddenly a scumbag.

Looking at Su Xin’s ignorant expression, Shu Quan sighed inwardly, not knowing whether to gloat or pity her.

“If Miss doesn’t like Her Majesty, why are you so obsessed with Her Majesty, looking for her every day.”

Since you don’t like a person, why do you give her the illusion that you like her?

She only remembered chatting about sexual affection, not talking about love! She thought she and Qu Feiqing had reached a consensus. Didn’t it happen?

Su Xin waved away Shu Quan, quietly thinking about life on the bed.

Fourteen, does everyone think I like Qu Feiqing?

[Seems like there isn’t anyone who doesn’t know.]

Su Xin sighed. In fact, she liked Qu Feiqing a lot. She liked Qu Feiqing’s character,  her face, and she liked to play with Qu Feiqing, but there was still something wrong.

[Will the host be angry if you see the Queen be with someone else?]

Regardless of whether I like her, why should I be angry, if she’s happy.

Su Xin was fond of Qu Feiqing because she liked being friends with benefits.

Fourteen could no longer speak, it didn’t understand this kind of thing, it just watched it. As long as the situation doesn’t get out of control, the host can do whatever she wants.

On the second day, Su Xin began to keep a distance from Qu Feiqing.

“Are you hiding from me?”

Qu Feiqing caught Su Xin, who was enjoying the flowers in the palace, instead of running away.

“No, I want to apologize to you.”

Su Xin said, as she shook her head.

“Oh? What did you do wrong?”

Hope rose in Qu Feiqing’s heart.

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have made you think that I liked you…”

“It’s okay.”

Qu Feiqing didn’t wait for Su Xin to finish, and interrupted her, the coldness echoing in her chest, pumping pain.

“Do you hate me?”

“No, I think you are very nice, have a  good face, good personality, but…”

Su Xin looked at the ground and sighed.

[Host, you two are fools, can you shut up?]

Fourteen really didn’t want Su Xin to worry about this anymore.

“Needless to say.”

Qu Feiqing didn’t walk away, but took Su Xin’s hand and made a clear smile.

“Yesterday, the Imperial Cook developed a new pastry. I think it was not bad. You should try it.”

Qu Feiqing pulled Su Xin away, and Su Xin followed her in a daze.

Fourteen, this reaction was different from what I thought.

Fourteen did not want to speak, it was tired and did not want to make a scene.

Su Xin stared blankly at Qu Feiqing, who was feeding her pastries one by one, with a very confused expression.

Qu Feiqing looked at Su Xin’s perplexed and obedient look, with a smile on her face, the gloominess in her heart continued to increase.

If Su Xin could be very decisive, she might not adopt this kind of tenderness policy, but she always showed a feeling of dependence on her, which made Qu Feiqing sink deeper and deeper.

Su Xin looked soft and weak on the outside, and while it was not an exaggeration, she also had a very strong heart, just like a sharp sword.

Someone so strong would easily break. Qu Feiqing didn’t want to force her, but she didn’t want to let her go just like that.

Wasn’t this a good look now? Su Xin looked so good and so docile.

Why did Su Xin have to run away from her? Su Xin felt bored, so she was leaving. When she left, she would leave her here alone.

Su Xin broke into her heart and approached her first, so how could she just run away like this.

It was too selfish.

Qu Feiqing discovered that Su Xin had the kind of personality that was strong when she met a  strong character and weak when she met a weak character.

If you had a fight with Su Xin, it might also inspire Su Xin’s ambition. Qu Feiqing can see that Su Xin would definitely not be a person who was willing to resign.

But if it was that kind of particularly soft personality, like a knife wrapped in cotton wool, Su Xin would not know it. This was her weakness in character.

Qu Feiqing wiped off the cake residue from Su Xin’s lips, put it in her mouth and licked it off.

This action was very sensual, but also very natural.

Su Xin leaned in and exchanged a kiss with Qu Feiqing. It was greasy and done crookedly.

The two went back to the room and started doing it again. Su Xin, afterwards, felt extremely tired and fell asleep with her eyes closed.

Su Xin and Qu Feiqing seemed to have gone back to the past. Qu Feiqing was more caring for Su Xin, which made Su Xin feel a little weird, and she felt that she was not the only one.

Qu Feiyun and Su Xin got together again and gossiped. After all, Su Xin was too bored, and Qu Feiyun was also very leisurely. Two very leisurely people gathered together, drinking tea, chatting, reading, and talking about Qu Feiqing. .

“It seems that the Empress really likes you.”

Qu Feiyun propped her face, resting her elbows on the stone table.

“Um.”

Su Xin understood and nodded.

“But I always feel that something is wrong. How do I feel that the Empress petting you is the same as petting her little wife?”

Qu Feiyun changed her posture, supporting her face with her hands, and looking up and down Su Xin’s body.

Su Xin smiled and said nothing.

The whole palace knew that the Empress had a luthier who was kept in the harem and was extremely precious.

When Su Xin got up one day, she was about to get out of bed but found that her legs were numb and she almost couldn’t feel anything.

Su Xin didn’t feel that she was overdoing it. She was helped by Shu Juan onto the bed and asked Shu Quan to call for a doctor.

The imperial doctor came and couldn’t see anything. He prescribed a few patches of tonic and nourishing qi medicine and left.

Su Xin knew what was going on and sighed while sitting on the bed.

Qu Feiqing came, standing silently beside Su Xin’s bed, and reached out to touch Su Xin’s leg.

“I’ve already said that I won’t leave. Why don’t you believe it.”

Su Xin looked at Qu Feiqing, knowing that it was Qu Feiqing who did some tricks on her legs.

“You never said that.”

Qu Feiqing pursed her lips. This person has been looking for opportunities; maybe when she feels completely bored, or feels that the outside world was safe, she would want to leave again.

“I’m talking about it now.”

Su Xin curled her lips.

“I don’t like this, I’m going to be angry.”

Su Xin looked at Qu Feiqing with black and white eyes, speaking seriously.

“I won’t lie to you, I will stay with you forever”

Su Xin didn’t say anything when he saw that Qu Feiqing didn’t move, and poked Qu Feiqing’s hand.

Qu Feiqing was shocked, and she looked at Su Xin with disbelief.

She thought Su Xin was a wild horse that would never miss her chance to leave, but it seemed that this was not the case.

“Really?”

Qu Feiqing’s voice was a little hoarse. She looked down at Su Xin, still full of suspicion.

“Un.”

Su Xin nodded

She was very bored, yes, but her profession was constantly adventurous anyway, and when she was in a quiet and free place, she preferred to stay still.

Qu Feiqing was too kind to her, and that feeling eroded her desire to leave little by little.

As Qu Feiyun said, Qu Feiqing spoiled her very much, just like her wife.

Su Xin was soft-hearted. She still didn’t know the feeling of jealousy, and she couldn’t imagine that Qu Feiqing would be together with others.

Qu Feiqing was a capable lover. She would never give her the chance to be jealous.

“If you lie to me…”

Qu Feiqing’s hand gently stroked Su Xin’s knee. This time, it was a real promise. If she lied to her, then these legs were really unnecessary.

“I will not.”

Su Xin pressed against Qu Feiqing’s forehead and closed her eyes.

This life was so short, what do you do when you meet a good person.

In the second year after Su Xin came to the palace, something relatively important had happened. Qu Feiqing’s brother, Qu Xingchen’s father died, he had committed suicide.

“What? Go away?”

Qu Feiyun was frightened and felt that the thought itself was quite unfathomable.

“No way.”

Qu Feiyun shook her head firmly.

“You cannot leave.”

“Why?”

Su Xin wondered why Qu Feiyun’s reaction was so big.

Qu Feiqing and Qu Feiyun did not have any familial relationship with each other. Both of them barely even engaged with each other.

When Qu Feiqing set off the bloody storm, Qu Feiyun was still a child. Qu Feiyun’s mother, who was also a concubine, was the type to protect themselves. She cleverly took Qu Feiyun away to avoid these messy things, blending into the background and not drawing too much attention to herself.

Qu Feiyun grew up without danger, but she was still very afraid of her sister, who became the Empress, and at the same time, she admired Qu Feiqing’s courage very much.

Qu Feiyun felt that there would be no woman as strange as her emperor sister in the world.

Regardless of her opinion, Qu Feiyun hoped that Qu Feiqing would be happier. She had realised that if Qu Feiqing was happy, then their lives would be better.

Qu Feiyun knew that after Su Xin arrived, the Empress sister’s mood was much better than before, and the previous aura of lifeless and fearful cold air was no longer there.

If Su Xin left like this, then the Empress would definitely become more frightening than before.

“Is this palace not good, why are you leaving?”

Qu Feiyun asked inexplicably, how many people wanted to enter the palace but didn’t have a chance to, however, this person wanted to leave.

“Is the royal sister treating you badly? If someone else spoke to her like you do, they would have died many times.” 

Qu Feiyun had seen Su Xin and Qu Feiqing together countless times. Yet, every time she saw them, she would sweat for Su Xin, afraid her sister would suddenly take out her blade and kill her. Even when Su Xin offended the Empress, she would not be angry but be happy instead. Even though Qu Feiyun didn’t understand, she knew that Su Xin occupied a large place in Qu Feiqing’s heart.

“Although the palace is beautiful, it is too boring here. I want to go out and explore. Also Princess, I’ve been meaning to ask- Why do you laugh so easily?”

Su Xin couldn’t help but add the question to the last bit of her sentence. She had always wondered why Qu Feiyun would laugh at everything, even if it was something so boring.

“You don’t like laughing, so are you telling me you just want to cry?”

Qu Feiyun shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. She may seem crazy to others, but what about it? She lives her own life and others can’t control it.

“Even if it’s boring… it’s tolerable.”

Qu Feiyun was used to the way of the palace, but she didn’t think there was anything she could do about it.

Once the conversation ended, Qu Feiyun turned around and went to give a brief report to Qu Feiqing.

She tried to tell the conversation in verbatim right that moment, but instantly turned still once she accidentally caught sight of Qu Feiqing’s face.

Qu Feiqing stood on the other side of the room with an indecipherable mask and cold aura.

“You may leave.”

Qu Feiyun withdrew from the inner temple. Qu Feiqing brushed her hands on the small table in front of her.

Qu Feiqing knew this was not betrayal from Su Xin. After all, nothing was ever promised between the both of them.

Su Xin did not say the same scarring words as last time, but what she was about to do now didn’t make Qu Feiqing any happier.

Qu Feiqing let out a sneer, and she broke off a corner of the small table abruptly.

Did she want to just leave this all behind? It won’t be that easy.

When did her palace become a casual place where one could venture in and out freely?

What did Su Xin take her for? She treated Su Xin differently and was kind to her, but this was what she got in return.

Impossible, she would not allow it.

From the moment she had begun her plans for seizing the throne, she knew what she wanted—she had to hold tightly in her hands. Otherwise, she would escape or be taken away from her.

As per her usual habit, Qu Feiqing later went to Su Xin’s quarter for an evening dinner together.

After dinner, Qu Feiqing walked with Su Xin as usual. They walked a few laps in the palace, digested the food, and chatted along the way.

Qu Feiqing did not say anything, so Su Xin spoke first.

“I presume you must have known about it. Qu Feiyun must have told you.”

Su Xin stopped and stood on the small path, looking at Qu Feiqing.

It was evening, and the sun was emitting the last light of the day, dyeing half of the sky red.

It was getting dark.

“You wish to leave?”

Qu Feiqing looked at Su Xin’s eyes. She walked two steps closer and leaned close to Su Xin.

“Well… not really… It’s just that there’s nothing to do here. But if I have you, I will stay.”

Su Xin thought hard for a moment. In fact, she was not tired of the palace yet. In fact, it would be nice if she could go with Qu Feiqing, but that was impossible. She knew that Qu Feiqing couldn’t leave the palace to come with her.

Qu Feiqing was sitting in an extremely dangerous position as Empress. If Qu Feiqin came with her, Su Xin figured that she would just be putting Qu Feiqin’s life in constant jeopardy for her selfish desires. Besides, Su Xin thought she wasn’t someone important for Qu Feiqing to go through such lengths.

[Host… I don’t know whether to praise you for being smart or stupid…]

Fourteen was a system, so it doesn’t understand emotions, but at any rate, it has seen a lot of things from other hosts. It was not stupid and sweet. Anyway, in Fourteen’s opinion, Su Xin’s EQ was absolutely one of the lowest.

Qu Feiqing was at a loss, it’s only been 2 months. How was Su Xin already bored?

Qu Feiqing sighed inwardly, looking at Su Xin’s serious look, she didn’t know what to say.

Qu Feiqing didn’t know whether to say if Su Xin was really ruthless or just dense.

“Then… are you willing to follow me wherever I go?”

Qu Feiqing has dropped her usual title of referring to herself as ‘this emperor’ in front of Su Xin. She felt that the title didn’t represent who she was on the inside.

“Ah… this… not necessarily… after all, there’s nothing between us.”

“Nothing between us?”

Those four words, Qu Feiqing, almost seemed to pop out from between the teeth. They were extremely heavy. Her face was so cold that she caught Su Xin’s wrist.

“Are you saying you have nothing to do with me?”

Qu Feiqing was furious and laughed. Her expression was terrifying, but her voice was smiling, and she said it very lightly.

“Well, we aren’t family but more like friends.”

More like friends with benefits.

Su Xin felt bewildered. Why was Qu Feiqing so angry? It felt like Qu Feiqing couldn’t wait to swallow her alive.

Fourteen, did I do something wrong?

Since Su Xin wasn’t able to work it out, she decided to ask the system for help.

[Host, can’t you really feel that the Queen likes you?]

Huh? What the hell?

“You like me?”

Su Xin asked in surprise.

Qu Feiqing’s face changed. She let go of Su Xin’s hand and took a step back.

“What a joke. How could this dignified emperor like you?”

Qu Feiqing straightened up and gave a cordial smile.

Qu Feiqing felt that in this way, it seemed that she was the only one who had feelings, and she was like a fool, but the other person didn’t care at all.

That would be far too absurd.

Qu Feiqing obviously wanted to hold Su Xin in her palm, but in the face of such a straightforward inquiry, she couldn’t lose her pride.

“Oh, that’s a relief.”

  Su Xin breathed a sigh of relief, for her relationships always felt so solemn.

‘That’s a relief.

Those three words painfully pounded like a hammer repeatedly in Qu Feiqing’s heart.

“Then can I leave the palace?”

Su Xin immediately asked.

Fourteen wanted to cover its face, and couldn’t look at Qu Fei Qing at all. It felt that the host was no longer sprinkling salt on the human wound. Since the sprinkling of salt was over, she stepped on it with her feet, which was also not enough, and then she stabbed it again.

Su Xin was truly an ignorant person and was easily confused regarding matters of the heart. It made third-wheelers watching want to pull out their hair in frustration while at the same time feeling mournful.

“You can not.”

“Why?”

“You will die.”

“If you leave me, you will die.”

Qu Feiqing glanced over at Su Xin and said seriously.

“Huh?”

Su Xin raised her eyebrows.

“You are already bound to this Empress. You have been here long enough for the people in the imperial palace to recognize you as my person. This Emperor is unknowledgeable of the number of enemies she has. If you went out by yourself, this Empress won’t be able to guarantee your safety from the people who will target you because of me.”

Qu Feiqing’s heart was unchangeable. She didn’t want to threaten Su Xin. She was just stating the facts, but she felt very depressed about whether or not Su Xin would choose to stay.

Su Xin had wanted to say that she was not afraid, then she received a reminder from Fourteen.

[Host, let me remind you that the strength and agility of your body differ from your original body, and the value is much different. This era does not have the cold weapons that you are used to, and the humans in this world have a lot of internal strength.]

 It was better for weak and unarmed people without any ability in martial arts to remain quiet in the corner like chickens, they would not be given the opportunity to defend themselves in close combat.

Su Xin thought silently, contemplating the options.

While doing missions, she always fought alone. She was fast and accurate, always going away with a headshot. However, there was no gun here, and there was no internal force. Now some of her handy cold weapons are only daggers. Would the dagger help in a fight with people? If those people have internal strength, she probably won’t be able to get close enough to win.

“All right… I’ll stay. When will you be completely safe?”

Qu Feiqing shook her head, crestfallen. If she knew despite what was said, Su Xin would still want to leave, then she wouldn’t even have bothered to speak anymore.

Qu Feiqing walked back to Su Xin’s room silently, without uttering a word to Su Xin, then returning to her quarters afterwards. 

“Guess we’re not doing it tonight…”

Su Xin muttered to herself quietly.

Fourteen was praying silently for positivity, patience and for the heavens to shine a light on this dumb host. It felt immense sympathy for the Empress. The host was too dumb in these affairs that it was actually scary. Her ability to wield knives was truly first-class. It was already clear the other person has already suffered a lot of damage, yet it seems like they still have to suffer a little bit more under her knife .

Qu Feiqing returned to her bedroom and stood at the desk, upset.

Su Xin had asked her if she liked her.

How can this Empress like her?

Actually, she likes her a little bit.

Actually, it seems like more.

Actually, a lot.

Qu Feiqing unexpectedly wished she hadn’t become the Empress.

Su Xin made her happy.

There’s a saying that- the second time will be somewhat like the first time.

Although the second time is not a familiar road, it is better than being ignorant like the first time.

When the sun was shining, Su Xin had requested for love. The strict Queen thought for a moment, took Su Xin’s hand and left the imperial garden.

“Where to?”

Su Xin suddenly felt rather shy. It really wasn’t a good idea to flirt like that in places where people were present.

[Too wild….]

Fourteen restrained its impulse to preach, and meditated on prosperity, democracy, civilization and harmony in its heart.

Fourteen you can stare at the mosaics and be good.

[Host, please remember your mission.]


I’m aware of it.

Qu Feiqing took Su Xin to her sleeping quarters and waved back all her servants, including the shadow guards who were guarding in the dark.

The red hibiscus covered sheets were warm in the spring festival evening, and this time they weren’t so anxious. Qu Feiqing and Su Xin played with each other, in a pleasant mood.

Usually, undressing is a mundane task, but in the case of this special occasion, this is more sensual.

Su Xin picked a budding flower and gave it to Qu Feiqing. Qu Feiqing accepted it happily and kissed the flower that hasn’t bloomed yet.

The pale red flower was very beautiful, and the petals were very delicate to the touch.

Qu Feiqing chuckled and touched the pretty little flower, and then touched the stamen inside.

Su Xin saw that Qu Feiqing liked her gift, her face was flushed, her body was happy, her hands and feet trembling slightly.

Qu Feiqing lightly unwrapped Su Xin’s bun, which was tied today, and spread her hair out on the bright yellow bed. Qu Feiqing also took off the hairpin on her head, took off her clothes, and was very close to Su Xin.

This time they kissed while sober, and Qu Feiqing felt it all.

Su Xin looked at Qu Feiqing with her eyes open, as their tongues were tangled, and her eyes were cunning.

Qu Feiqing couldn’t help but be lost in Su Xin’s appearance, she separated her lips, kissed Su Xin on the forehead, and then looked from the corner of her eyes, and let out a silent sigh in her heart.

Qu Feiqing knew that she was happy, but she was confused because of this happiness.

It was an extremely unstable feeling, and Qu Feiqing couldn’t put a finger on it, it seemed hazy and unreal.

Love was deep, mysterious and fascinating.

Fortunately, Su Xin was not too lost in happiness, kept a part of her sanity, and asked about her task.

“Your Majesty, am I beautiful?”

When Su Xin said this, she was half lying on Qu Feiqing’s body. Qu Feiqing faced her, feeling Su Xin’s green silk clothes scattered beside her.

Su Xin’s appearance was extremely beautiful. Qu Feiqing felt that nothing could ever be compared to it, but Qu Feiqing also subconsciously felt that if she answered Su Xin’s question, something bad would happen.

Qu Feiqing knew in her heart, nothing would happen, but she just didn’t want to say it.

“Answer me, am I beautiful?”

Su Xin saw that Qu Feiqing watched her silently, not speaking. She was tired of rubbing Qu Feiqing’s body twice, the breath she exhaled scattered on Qu Feiqing’s face. 

Su Xin licked Qu Feiqing’s face like a cat, leaving wet marks.

Qu Feiqing looked at those bright eyes, and couldn’t help but reply:

“Yes, you are most beautiful.”

Su Xin felt satisfied, and had a good time.

Once they finished, Qu Feiqing put on her clothes and planned to deal with the affairs of the court. She was in a good mood and even annoying memorials could be approved now.

Su Xin rolled around on the bed and quickly asked Fourteen about her task progress.

Fourteen, am I finished? Is the task completed?

[Well, it’s done, and the client transaction is being handed over…]

Fourteen knew with certainty that he did not choose the wrong host, and he added points for her performance.

Su Xin’s eyes flashed, and she found that she had returned to the space in between, which should be the same place as the transfer station, and saw a woman with a charming face in ancient costumes.

She had looked at this face in the mirror for more than a year, and suddenly seeing it on someone else’s face, Su Xin felt a little uncomfortable.

“This noblewoman has really completed this slave’s wish… although in a very unexpected way”

Xue Yao’s face was rather strange. She really didn’t expect Su Xin to use this method to complete the task, but she was able to help her escape the brothel and successfully entered the Banquet of the Four Kingdoms. She was also very satisfied.

Although she didn’t get to live the rest of her life by herself, she had escaped from the life she didn’t want to live anyway.

Su Xin’s face was slumped, she was also surprised, she didn’t expect it, but she just watched Qu Feiqing act and went along with it. 

The handover was successful, and Xue Yao’s soul went away.

Su Xin knew that Xue Yao’s soul power would be absorbed by another person, and she would become non-existent.

But well, trading is like that.

System Fourteen, what should I do if I completed a client’s task, but the client doesn’t like it and later regrets it?

[If someone tries something stupid like that, then we will show them what is worse than death.]

Fourteen’s voice was cold. There is no such good thing in the world as letting their trading system and host work for nothing.  If you are obedient, you will disappear without pain. If you are not obedient, then you will suffer until you can no longer stand it and then disappear.

Su Xin returned to Qu Feiqing’s big bed, got up and put on clothes one by one, planning her own future.

She was now free to let herself go, and how this body wants to live in the future will be up to her.

It’s just that ancient life is a bit too boring. For Su Xin, who is accustomed to modern life and obsessed with electronic products, staying here seems to be meaningless.

[The host can return to the original world by committing suicide. After deducting the life value credit, the host now has ten months of life in the real world.]

Fourteen hinted at Su Xin.

Only ten months.

Su Xin shook her head and decided to stay. She who died once knows how precious life is and how happy it is to live.

This body can live to 40 years old, Su Xin still has 26 years of great time ahead of her, how can such a long time be wasted in vain.

Su Xin quickly helped Qu Feiqing  make the bed. The big bed was messed up by the two of them. After Su Xin made it up, she rubbed her arms and walked out, and slowly walked back to her palace.

“Miss.”

Shu Quan saw Su Xin coming back and greeted her.

“Shu Quan get me some pairs of clothes, I will take a bath, and then sleep”

“Hmm… Isn’t it still early? Doesn’t Miss need lunch?”

It’s almost time for lunch now, and Shu Quan had last seen Su Xin only two hours ago.

“I am a bit tired.”

Su Xin walked to the bathing area. Su Xin felt tired after bathing whereas Qu Feiqing even went to court to finish her duties. What she had experienced was different. 

If it was Su Xin’s previous body she would be alive and kicking right now, but this slender body is just too weak. 

After washing herself, Su Xin layed down on the bed, covered with a quilt and went to sleep with her eyes closed.

Shu Quan picked up the clothes next to the bath one by one, put them in the basin in her hand, and planned to wash them.

“Miss….”

Shu Quan lightly sighed, holding Su Xin’s underwear in her hand, gently rubbing her fingertips, and sniffing gently with the tip of her nose.

As if feeling that her actions were too bold, Shu Quan stuffed the underwear back with the other clothes in a little panic, her face flushed.

Meanwhile, wearing her imperial robes, Qu Feiqing gradually became a little absent-minded, thinking about how Su Xin would react.

Qu Feiqing was a very responsible person. After becoming the Empress, this sense of responsibility seemed to be strengthened. Because since childhood, she was influenced by the feelings between her mother and father, Qu Feiqing hated that kind of non-specific feeling, but this society was like this, where the feelings between a concubine and an Emperor don’t matter. She was powerless to change, she could only work hard by herself on the throne.

There were some things that Qu Feiqing felt were very good.

When hugging another person, it doesn’t feel so disgusting anymore.

Qu Feiqing thought, let’s live like this first, at least the other party makes her feel very comfortable and life is no longer so lonely.

Maybe that person really likes her, if she doesn’t love her, how can she beg for pleasure.

Qu Feiqing still thinks like many women. Even if she became an Empress, she still has the fickle heart of a woman. She isn’t a man, so she can’t separate love from lust.

Su Xin felt that it was simply mutual consent of two parties, but Qu Feiqing did not think so. She even thought about their future together.

Su Xin stayed in the palace for another month and found it very boring. This inch of heaven and earth is too small. The palace is very gorgeous, yes, but she wanted to go outside the palace even more.

During this month, Su Xin occasionally played with His Royal Highness, Qu Xing Chen, watching him desperately finishing his studies and learning, and often chatted with Qu Feiyun, who laughed at every small thing, looking at embroidery designs, playing the guqin, and singing songs. 

She and Qu Feiyun would also sneak around the palace together and hide in random places, unnoticed by others..

“Xue Yao, aren’t you a luthier? Play me the Guqin, okay?”

Qu Feiyun came to Su Xin again, swaying Su Xin’s arm and acting like a baby with her.

“Isn’t there a luthier in the palace?”

Su Xin held her chin with one hand and tapped her fingers, with the other hand, on the stone table.

“But I want to hear you play it.”

Qu Feiyun continued to pull Su Xin’s sleeves, Su Xin finally relented, and Shu Quan was pleased to go get the Guqin.

Xue Yao, why are you not afraid of my Empress sister? You are still the first person I have ever seen, who is so close to the Empress  sister.

God knows how scared Qu Feiyun was when she saw Qu Feiqing and Su Xin getting close.

“Is she scary?”

Su Xin felt that Qu Feiqing was pretty good. From the beginning, she was allowed to approach her. Although Qu Feiqing had treated Su Xin as a mentally retarded person before, after doing it once, the other party’s attitude was much better.

Now that Su Xin has done it five, six, seven or eight times, she felt that Qu Feiqing was extremely friendly.

Once Su Xin told her opinion, Qu Feiyun looked at Su Xin in surprise, and nodded her head as if she was a chicken pecking rice, not really understanding anything. 

“The Empress is the scariest person I have ever seen, but she feels a lot more gentle after meeting you, good things do indeed happen.”

Qu Feiyun saw with her own eyes how her Empress sister killed her Emperor brother. In Qu Feiyun’s heart, no one is more terrible than Qu Feiqing.

“But I’m leaving.”

Su Xin smiled.

Being in the palace is too boring, it’s time to say goodbye.

[Host…]

Fourteen hesitated and stopped.

Hmm?

[It’s nothing.]

The system will not interfere with the host’s feelings. Fourteen is now sure that Su Xin is not only low in EQ, but also dull and scary, and has the potential to be a scumbag.

[Host, you really haven’t thought about why the queen has been hitting on you all the time even after having sex with you?]

Fourteen tried to mention something and give hints.

Is it because I am beautiful?

Su Xin followed suit and saluted as well. Qu Feiqing made eye contact with Qu Feiyun, her eyes flashing with a hint of annoyance, and looked at Su Xin with a calm face, feeling slightly jealous. 

Qu Feiqing remembered Su Xin’s unfinished words that night, feeling as though she had a thorn in her heart, she felt uncomfortable and alarmed when she thought of it.

Qu Feiqing looked at Qu Feiyun, who was sitting obediently again. Her imperial sister’s temperament was a little bit jumpy, just like an energetic rabbit that could never stop and was jumping all the time. Qu Feiyun lived quite a carefree life and was very indulgent.

Qu Feiqing didn’t meddle in Qu Feiyun’s everyday affairs. As long as she didn’t do anything  out of line, Qu Feiqing let her be.

Qu Feiyun was sixteen years old, about the same age as Su Xin.

Qu Feiqing was seven years older than Su Xin, and Su Xin had rejected Qu Feiqing that day. Although Qu Feiqing knew that she was prettier and better than Qu Feiyun, it wasn’t impossible for  Su Xin to be attracted to Qu Feiyun was it?

Su Xin looked at the Empress gloomily, with raised eyes and Qu Feiqing looked back at her with the same gloomy eyes filled with doubt.

“Qu Feiyun, you are a princess and your appearance is really out of royal demeanor. Go back and copy the “Female principles and commandments for women” twice, and show them to me.”

Qu Feiyun wanted to shrink herself to the size of a quail in front of her sister’s sight.

“Empress Sister…I know what I did was wrong… but can’t adults have an exemption for copying so many times?”

Qu Feiyun internally grieved, she mainly used her free time to indulge herself in laughter and fun in the imperial gardens. Who would have known that she would be so unlucky to cross paths with the Empress, who also came out to relax today, and now she can’t laugh anymore.

“Do you wish to copy it three times?”

Qu Feiqing didn’t like it when others tried to bargain their way with her.

“Chen Mei understands, so I shall go and copy down the book with great concentration.”

Qu Feiyun lowered her head and weakly followed Qu Feiqing’s orders.

Two books, two times each, Qu Feiyun felt as though her hands were going to break at the mere thought of it.

“Honoured musician, I’m leaving now. Till we meet again.”

Qu Feiyun waved to Su Xin, and walked out in a dignified manner.

Su Xin understood the intimidating aura Qu Feiqing emanated to the people in the palace, she seemed to be feared by all. 

 Even the nephew was so sensitive to her breath that he couldn’t help but shiver when she approached.

And when Qu Feiyun heard Qu Feiqing’s voice, her expression of carefree laughter was reduced  in a second and she put on a serious mask.

“This Empress has underestimated you, in just a few days, you have met my nephew and sister, and even become familiar with them.”

Qu Feiqing walked into the pavilion and sat where Qu Feiyun had just sat, very close to Su Xin.

“It is all because of your Majesty’s blessing. If your Majesty hadn’t brought me here, how could they be interested in me?”

Su Xin praised Qu Feiqing, her tone quite cheerful. 

“As I said, I am only here for your Majesty and no one else is my focus.”

Su Xin looked at Qu Feiqing with a sincere expression.

Qu Feiqing slightly opened her eyes, feeling like needles were pricking her heart.

She wondered: why did she bring this girl into her territory?

It was because of Su Xin’s smile.

It was a  smile exuding an aura similar to hers, but Qu Feiqing never saw it again.

A horrible idea entered Qu Feiqing’s head, was it because of that night that she was more guarded with her feelings?

Qu Feiqing didn’t care about it but she couldn’t take Su Xin’s feelings lightly. 

“Why did your Majesty come out to stroll around this time?”

Su Xin supported her head on her hands and looked at Qu Feiqing. The Imperial Garden looked as beautiful as ever and was indeed made for royalty. It was well maintained, and it made people happy when they looked at it.

Qu Feiqing hadn’t intended to voice her problems. After all, it was useless to talk about it, but seeing Su Xin’s appearance, Qu Feiqing had the sudden impulse to confide in her.

“Those officials want to force this Empress to take on an Imperial concubine.”

Su Xin imagined a group of enchanting men who waved their handkerchiefs proactively at a cold-faced Qu Feiqing. Su Xin couldn’t bear to look directly at Qu Feiqing and laughed out loud.

“Are you happy?”

Qu Feiqing’s voice became colder the less jealous Su Xin was. 

“It’s hard to imagine.”

Su Xin shrugged. The probability of Qu Feiqing taking a concubine, according to the information she knew, was zero.

It was impossible for Qu Feiqing to let a man touch her, afterall it was her worst fear.

Qu Feiqing’s name as the first beauty in the Four Kingdoms was not a mere name. She had been very beautiful since she was a child. She was very pretty and cute, resembling a small dumpling, so she became very popular.

But she stayed in the cold palace, led a neglected life and dressed in a very old fashioned way. 

One day, a six year old Qu Feiqing ran out of the cold palace to play, when she bumped into an imperial guard, who was a pedophile. The guard asked her where she was from and Qu Feiqing answered that it was one of the palaces. The guard had thought that she was a girl raised by one of the palace maids who served in the palace. He seized Qu Feiqing roughly, wanting to be lustful after seeing her childlike innocence.
Meanwhile Qu Feiqing’s mother had been looking for her for a while and came outside. To her horror she saw Qu Feiqing vigorously struggling as a man held her down.

That was the first time Qu Feiqing saw blood. Qu Feiqing’s mother did not want to talk about what happened. After all, even if she was a child, Qu Feiqing still had a reputation to maintain. 

Qu Feiqing’s mother calmly and quietly killed the guard and left with Qu Feiqing.

Qu Feiqing always remembered what her Mother told her at that time. As she was trembling in her Mother’s arms, she had said, “Men are very, very filthy.”

Since then, Qu Feiqing has become more indifferent and began to hate all the men in the world.

“If you are unwilling to, then simply don’t marry.”

Su Xin said plainly to Qu Feiqing, once she had laughed enough.

“You are the Empress, the most powerful, why should you listen to them if you don’t want to.”

Su Xin poured a cup of tea and handed it to Qu Feiqing.

When you are the Ruler, you can simply kill and take or leave it.  No matter what, everything is up to you. 

Qu Feiqing smiled, sipping the tea in the teacup.

The flowers in the Royal Garden were nothing compared to Qu Feiqing’s smile. Su Xin tilted her head and looked at her in fascination. 

“Your Majesty, you are very good looking.”

Qu Feiqing put down her teacup in surprise and accepted the sudden compliment.

Qu Feiqing saw Su Xin leaning towards her side and slowly inching closer towards her. Qu Feiqing could smell the faint fragrance of her body and a lighter smell of medicine.

Soon they were both very close to each other and Su Xin leaned close to Qu Feiqing’s ear.

“Your Majesty, I want to sleep with you again.”

“You make me feel so good. I want to take care of you.”

“And I want to hold you and also be held by you in return.”

 […… Being so lewd early in the morning, makes the world go downhill]

Fourteen was shocked by Su Xin’s shamelessness. How can anyone say such lines so naturally?

Feeling the moist breath in her ear, and her heart beating like a drum, Qu Feiqing squeezed the corners of her clothes tightly.

Su Xin finally moved away from Qu Feiqing’s ear and leaned in front of her again, winking at her.

Qu Feiqing laughed, with a dangerous aura surrounding her.

Qu Feiqing gritted her teeth and in her heart, she thought internally that this time Su Xin delivered herself to her door. If Su Xin says the same heartless thing as last time, then she shouldn’t blame Qu Feiqing if she gets angry.

The present Empress Qu Feiqing was just as narrow minded as Su Xin.

Qu Feiqing saw the traces she left on Su Xin’s neck last night. She reached out to touch it, but found that Su Xin’s body was cold and sticky, and she could smell a faint aroma of wine when she got close. 

It was not difficult for Qu Feiqing to imagine what was going on. She tucked Su Xin’s quilt and waited for the imperial doctor to come.

Shu Quan hurriedly invited the imperial physician, and after the imperial physician saluted Qu Feiqing, he performed a ceremony where he put a silk cloth over her wrist to diagnose the pulse and then withdrew the cloth. 

“Your Majesty, this girl has caught a cold, and in addition to the weather she is not used to, it seems to have gotten worse. It will be fine when she takes the prescribed medicine on time.”

The imperial doctor wrote down the prescription and talked about the things that should be avoided and paid attention to, before leaving with the medicine box.

“Go make the decoction.”

Shu Quan nodded, took the prescription and rushed to the imperial apothecary, and then ran back to make the decoction.

Qu Feiqing opened Su Xin’s quilt, picked Su Xin up bridal style, and went to the small bath chamber of the palace.

Su Xin groaned and shrank in Qu Feiqing’s arms.

Qu Feiqing untied Su Xin’s clothes lightly and wiped Su Xin’s body with a towel soaked in water.

Because Su Xin was asleep, it wasn’t easy to get her into the water.

Qu Feiqing didn’t expect that her mouth would be so ruthless. The girl’s white skin had traces of dark purple or red, which made one reminisce.

After Qu Feiqing wiped Su Xin’s body, she realised that she had forgotten to get a change of clothes for  Su Xin. In desperation, she could only hold the bare Su Xin in her arms.

She walked quickly, fearing that Su Xin would be seriously ill if she was exposed to the cold for too long.

After tucking Su Xin into the quilt, she went to the closet to look for Su Xin’s usual clothes.

After finding two pieces of obscene clothes and trousers, Qu Feiqing put them on Su Xin.

First the undergarment, Qu Feiqing pressed her lips and tied the string to form a knot on the back,  to protect the two trembling snow white balls.

After putting on Su Xin’s clothes and pants, Qu Feiqing covered her with a quilt, and sat on the edge of the bed looking at Su Xin’s burning face.

Shu Quan came with the medicine, which was too hot.

“Put the medicine here, you can leave first.”

Qu Feiqing took the bowl, and Shu Quan looked up at her, then walked out.

Strange… Empress Qu hasn’t come to see the Miss for ten consecutive days, but now the Empress is so caring for the Miss because of her illness.

Qu Feiqing stirred with a spoon to cool the medicine.

She then put the bowl down and went to wake Su Xin up.

Su Xin opened her eyes with difficulty and saw a bowl of medicine in front of her.

Su Xin shook her head, took the concoction, and drank half of it in one breath, frowning at the bitter taste.

Su Xin continued to drink the rest, stuffed the bowl into Qu Feiqing’s hand, wiped the corner of her mouth, and then continued to lie down.

Qu Feiqing stuffed Su Xin’s mouth with a candied fruit, and Su Xin’s frowning brows slowly eased.

After that, Qu Feiqing left, since she had her own affairs to deal with.

Su Xin woke up in the evening. Shu Quan, who had been guarding her bed, quickly helped her get up.

“Miss, you are awake! Are you hungry?”

“A little hungry…”

“Miss, wait. I’ll bring you porridge.”

Su Xin looked down at her clean clothes and rubbed her eyebrows tiredly.

Fourteen, I regret it.

[What do you regret? Did it happen?]

No, I didn’t ask her if I was beautiful at the good time yesterday!

Su Xin wailed in her heart, ‘Mission ah Mission!

Last night, both of them were confused and in disorder. If she had asked if she was beautiful, Qu Feiqing would definitely answer in the affirmative.

[That’s right. I forgot to remind you.]

Fourteen also felt a little upset. It hadn’t paid attention to the mosaic process and it indeed had missed an opportunity.

After Su Xin finished eating the white porridge, she planned to put on her clothes and sit on a chair. She slept for too long, and she now became lazy and weak.

After drinking the medicine at night, Su Xin fell asleep again until dawn the next day.

The next day, the weather was fine and the sun was shining. She was ready to get dressed and go for a walk in the courtyard, bask in the sun, and get rid of her illness.

Shu Quan followed her step by step, for fear that something would happen to her.

Su Xin was bored, so she started to play a game of tic tac toe with Shu Quan.

There was a piece of paper with 9 squares on it, one person draws circles and another does cross. Whoever can get 3 in a row wins.

In the beginning, Shu Quan didn’t know how to play it, so Su Xin kept winning. Fortunately, the game was very simple, and Shu Quan learned it right away. The two sides were in a tie. Later Su Xin continued to win.

“Shu Quan, it’s obvious that you are deliberately letting me win.”

Su Xin put the pen on the table and looked at Shu Quan.

“No, Miss is too smart and I’m too stupid.”

Shu Quan pursed her lips and smiled shyly.

“What are you both playing?”

A child’s voice came from the door, Su Xin and Shu Quan stood up and bowed to the eight or nine year old child.

“Greetings, Your Highness.”

This child was the son of Qu Feiqing’s brother. She imprisoned her brother, and then took his child and raised him personally. Although it was not officially stated, everyone assumed that the child was the prince of the country.

“You can stand, are you the woman my aunt brought back?”

Qu Xing Chen raised his chin. His aunt never liked to be close to others, so it was really rare to bring someone to the palace. He had been completing the tasks assigned to him by his aunt a few days ago, so he couldn’t come and have a look at what this person was like, earlier. 

Su Xin nodded and tidied up the table next to her.

“You still haven’t told me what you were playing.”

“It’s a type of game….”

Su Xin told his Royal Highness the rules of the game, and Qu Xing Chen was eager to try.

Su Xin blasted Qu Xing Chen for several rounds, and Qu Xing Chen gradually mastered the rules, and there was a scene where neither of them let the other win. 

The game was okay to play for a while, but after a long time, it got boring.

 When Qu Xing Chen blocked Su Xin’s road with a smile, he suddenly flinched, and quickly put down the pen in his hand and got up from the chair, looking at the direction of the courtyard door.

The next moment Qu Feiqing walked in from the courtyard gate, and Qu Xing Chen bowed a stiff salute.

“Come join us Royal Aunt.”

Su Xin and Shu Quan also saluted. Su Xin looked at Qu Xing Chen’s movements. This child was so sensitive to even Qu Feiqing’s breath.

“Chen’er, it’s getting late, you go back first.”

It was clearly still early and the sun was shining brightly. 

“Yes aunt.”

Qu Xing Chen quickly walked out without question, not even turning his head to look at Su Xin.

“He seems to be scared of you.”

“Hmm.”

Qu Feiqing responded lightly, she was probably the shadow of her nephew’s heart, an existence of extraordinary terror.

Qu Feiqing waved for the servants guarding in the courtyard to go back. Only the two of them remained.

“Your sickness has healed?”

“Almost all better, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty.”

“After all, it’s my responsibility if you are sick.”

That night was so ridiculous, Qu Feiqing was half drunk and half awake and did not control her strength.

Qu Feiqing couldn’t forget that night: The moon was bright and Su Xin’s long silky hair spread across her back. Her half-dangling eyes and red cheeks.

“Then…do you think I am beautiful?”

No matter how I ask, it’s fine, even if I’m treated as a narcissist, it doesn’t matter. If Qu Feiqing admits this, then I can pat my butt and leave.

Qu Feiqing smiled, why is this woman so persistent in front of such a problem?

Qu Feiqing wanted to tease her, so she didn’t speak.

Fourteen, she is playing with me. Will she die if she admits I’m beautiful?

[Uhh…This…]

She messes with people like that. Even when we were rolling around before, she didn’t say anything sweet to me, even under pleasure!

[Host let me remind you that you made the first move and did the deed too. While tossing around, you also forgot to ask her.]

You’re actually defending her! You don’t love me anymore!

[Host you are so dramatic. Fine I won’t do it again.]

…Fourteen was speechless.

The following days became unremarkable, Su Xin could only stay in this palace, and couldn’t walk around. She was waiting for the second chance to pick up the lead, and she would ask questions after getting together.

Qu Feiqing was in a bad mood today, and a group of people in the court called her to accept the male concubine and open the branches and leaves. She wanted to smash them in the face with something on the spot.

If it’s those men who are going to get pregnant, she might have thought about it, but that’s impossible. Want her to be touched by a man and then get pregnant and have children? Don’t even think about it.

Putting aside her hatred of men touching her, she would be physically weak when she is pregnant, and it would be even more dangerous for the next few months. It would be so easy to kill her. She does not need children, nor does she need to do these things.

She had only wanted to win the throne and become an Empress to teach the people, who insulted and oppressed her mother and her, a lesson. It was also to achieve her own ambitions of dominating the Kingdom.

However as a Ruler it was expected of them to produce an heir, as the people wanted someone only with the surname Qu to sit on the throne. It was for this reason that she brought her brother’s son, Qu Xing Chen and raised him.

Those who are loyal to her, hope that her heirs can inherit the country, and those who want to harm her also hope that she can conceive and have children so that she is weaker.

Still, these people have no shame, they would promote their own sons one after the other, as if it was a competition on who sells first. Qu Feiqing sneered. Do they think that she is so naive? Their demeanors were so troublesome.

Concubines are considered romantic and sound good. But for Qu Feiqing, it was like taking a prostitute and dressing it up in a noble status to hide the filth. Those male concubines don’t give her money, but instead she has to pay to support them, which she found extremely disgusting.

After hundreds of years of conceptual suppression of women, Qu Feiqing alone was unable to change this, even if she was an Empress. She was an exception in several dynasties and the most dazzling existence among the Four Kingdoms.

Qu Feiqing retired in a bad mood, she changed her clothes and looked at the memorials and felt even more unhappy. She left the Imperial Study Room and planned to take a walk to change her mood.

When Qu Feiqing walked to the Royal Garden, she heard a burst of laughter.

In the pavilion among the flowers, two people were sitting close together, one of them covered her face with silk, smiling happily and she had to snuggle up to the other person.

Su Xin grinned, wondering how fake the Princess’ smile beside her was.

“Younger sister is in good spirits, and I heard her laughter from outside the Imperial Garden.”

When Qu Fei Yun heard Qu Feiqing’s voice, it was like a mouse meeting a cat, and she immediately sat upright and bowed to Qu Feiqing.

“Greetings Royal sister.”

“Your Majesty, You are drunk.”

Su Xin’s hand stroked Qu Feiqing’s back.

Qu Feiqing did not wear a fancy court dress and instead wore regular clothes. Her hair was loosely tied behind her head, looking very unruly.

Qu Feiqing’s body stiffened and instinctively pushed against Su Xin, but Su Xin hugged her tighter. 

Su Xin’s heart lamented that Qu Feiqing was too kind and too predictable.

Qu Feiqing couldn’t see Su Xin’s face and frowned irritably. She hated others being so close to her. Even if it was a warm hug, she didn’t need it.

Qu Feiqing used her internal force and abruptly pulled Su Xin away from her embrace.

Su Xin took advantage of the situation, and as she slammed to the ground, she pulled Qu Feiqing as well. Qu Feiqing was led to rush forward and pressed against Su Xin.

As their lips collided, Su Xin couldn’t help licking, hissing, and bleeding.

Su Xin hadn’t expected such a  situation.

[I never anticipated this either.]

Qu Feiqing’s lips were still on hers. At that moment, Qu Feiqing only felt something soft had licked her lips carefully.

With the alcohol flowing through her body, Qu Feiqing held up her arms and gently lifted her body, which was very close to Su Xin’s.

“You like women?”

Qu Feiqing squinted her eyes, and the intoxicating aroma of wine exuded from her body.

I can’t answer that. Is this a misunderstanding? I really didn’t plan to lick you just now. Fourteen what should I do?!

[The host can be rest assured that we are a very humane system, so you can do it if you want.]

It did not matter to Fourteen anyways, since it had mosaics. In fourteen’s opinion, proper physical intimacy and psychological pleasures were conducive to the host’s mission.

You’re deluded! Who said I’m gonna do it!

The wine coloured Qu Feiqing’s face with beauty; replacing her grumpiness with enticing laziness. 

She stuck out half her tongue and licked Su Xin’s lips for a moment.

“Your Majesty likes it?”

Su Xin allowed Qu Feiqing to move, opening and closing her lips while speaking. Qu Feiqing had no idea that she would speak suddenly, causing the small tip of her tongue to go into Su Xin’s mouth.

Both of them were stiff. It was the first time that Qu Feiqing was so intimate with her. Qu Feiqing just licked her because she didn’t hate the feeling. It was also to tease Su Xin. She didn’t plan to go any further, just now….

   Fourteen, I suddenly want to do it now…

 [You are free to do as you wish, host. I have Mosaics1.]

Mosaic Protection to promote Socialist Harmony.

Su Xin squinted her eyes to see Qu Feiqing’s tongue and touched it with her own

Qu Feiqing must have been drunk, smelling Su Xin’s warm fragrance.

In fact, this person was indeed beautiful, at least just now, when she licked the tip of her tongue and looked at her provocatively, it made her feel like her blood was boiling, unlike the impulse of usually being bloodthirsty.

Qu Feiqing was drunk but Su Xin wasn’t and she wanted to do it. 

The clothes were worn out, Qu Feiqing raised the flask, and the wine dripped down from Su Xin’s neck, splattering their clothes.

The wine was cold and due to the cold wind from outside the palace, they couldn’t help but shiver.

Qu Feiqing gently touched the skin on Su Xin’s neck and drank all the wine there before she was willing to switch places.

Su Xin took off the hairpin on her head and threw it aside. Her long hair spread on her back like  fine silk.

When the wind started to blow, the red beads on the branches shook with the wind’s movements, and the moonlight shone brightly above, the people below were stained with decadent colors. 

The feelings were mutual. Su Xin also helped Qu Feiqing to massage her diligently. Qu Feiqing hummed and raised her red lips.

The wind grew stronger, and even the entire branch shook with it, shaking helplessly.

Su Xin is an adult, and what she had to do for Tayan had been postponed until now.

The lake in the palace, blown by the wind, made waves and the fish kept swimming in the water, sinking into that kind of warmth.

Everything suddenly became still. Su Xin got up, put on her clothes and tied up her hair again.

Sweat and spilled alcohol on her body had started making her uncomfortable.

Qu Feiqing opened her eyes and looked to be awake.

“How did you find me?”

Qu Feiqing looked into Su Xin’s eyes.

“Just strolling around,”

Su Xin answered.

“In the middle of the night, it was fun.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

Qu Feiqing looked up and down Su Xin, not knowing what she was thinking, her expression was calm.

Each of the cold palaces in the Imperial palace had their own stories. They have had many rulers, generation after generation of masters.

Half of Qu Feiqing’s youth was spent here.

Her mother, who was a concubine, gave birth to a daughter, to the displeasure of the Emperor. At that time the other concubines took the opportunity to deal with her mother, so Qu Feiqing’s mother took her and moved into one of these cold palaces.

Qu Feiqing’s current methods and achievements were largely due to her mother’s contributions.

Her mother died of illness in this palace, and Qu Feiqing had watched her only relative leave her.

After she became the Empress, she occasionally came here, sitting alone on the ground and drinking, thinking of her mother.

At first, Qu Feiqing suspected that Su Xin had deliberately followed her here, but she later thought that the time when she came to this cold palace was not planned, and she came as she wanted, and even she didn’t know when she would come.

However, she still didn’t believe Su Xin’s reason for strolling around, it was too clumsy.

“It hurts.”

Su Xin frowned and murmured, feeling very uncomfortable.

Her body was weak, not as good as the one that had been trained before. She had been wounded just some time ago, and she just exercised vigorously. She also caught a cold in the wind. How could it not be uncomfortable?

Qu Feiqing felt her hands becoming cold and even the temperature just dropped.

Su Xin started to feel a headache.

Qu Feiqing stood up and stretched out her hand to Su Xin who was still sitting on the ground. Su Xin grabbed Qu Feiqing’s hand and struggled to stand up.

“Thank you very much.”

Su Xin patted the dust on her body, lowering her head, so she didn’t see Qu Feiqing’s hesitant expression tinted with light desire, wanting to tell her to stop. 

They did it, and Qu Feiqing was trying to figure out whether she was responsible or not.

 Su Xin didn’t have such thoughts and was ready to leave.

“Tonight….”

Qu Feiqing helped Su Xin sort out her messy clothes and thought about how to phrase the question.

“Nothing serious, your majesty rest assured, I will not talk nonsense.”

 “Are you…Happy?”

Qu Feiqing looked deeply into Su Xin’s eyes.

If not, why do you have to follow her? If not, why do you want to approach her? If not, why did you accept her just now?

“What?”

 Su Xin was bewildered, showing a confused expression.

“Your Majesty has been worrying too much. Your Majesty is like a bright sky and bright moon. It is hopeless and unobtainable. Xue Yao is only worthy of knowing, and there were just no emotions, even if it was not your Majesty.” 

The rest of Su Xin’s words were muted in Qu Feiqing’s terrifying eyes.

Fourteen, why do I feel that the situation is a bit wrong?

[This…maybe…Host, you are really a strange person.]

How can someone say to someone who just finished it that ‘I don’t like you, even if it wasn’t you, I would do something like this’…

This was no longer lack of consciousness, this was either a low emotional intelligence or slag.

I always feel like you have something to say.

[Is that so? You feel wrong.]

Fourteen said calmly.

“Your Majesty, I’m leaving first, and see you another day.”

Su Xin subconsciously felt that the situation might not be so good, and hurriedly left so she wouldn’t feel uncomfortable.

Qu Feiqing looked at her back and smiled.

Su Xin’s unavoidable evasive appearance, on the contrary, seemed to be like a stalker.

Each person’s character has a great relationship with the environment in which they grew up.

Su Xin was almost straight, speaking directly and not very fond of twists and turns, and her profession does not require her to go around.

The boss of the organization also values her very much because of her personality, because she never thinks too much about what to do.

Su Xin’s emotional experience could be said to be a blank, after all, her life was  only training before she was able to go on missions.

After being able to go on missions, Su Xin’s profession was destined to make her be a loner and not very close to others, except for Qiu Qing Qing, who was in the same occupation as her.

Since she had no emotional experience, this  made her have low emotional intelligence.

  Su Xin felt like what happened tonight was no big deal, and that this matter depended on mutual consent. Why make it complicated? I mean, hello… I’m fine.

Of course, Su Xin felt that not everyone can change other people, only those who have feelings would be able to do it.

Su Xin went back to her room with a little dizziness, her body was already freezing, and her stomach was aching.

[Host, you are sick.]

I know.

Su Xin ignored taking a shower, took off her outer garments, got in the bed in sleazy inner garments, covered the quilt and faintly fell asleep.

Usually  if there was nothing to do, Su Xin would always wake up naturally when she sleeps.

However, when Shu Quan came in, Su Xin was still asleep under the quilt.

“Miss, can’t you get up?”

“Sleepy.”

Su Xin felt that her body was as heavy as lead, and she was struggling to even open her eyes. She answered dully before putting the quilt back on. 

“Miss will sleep for a little longer.”

Shu Quan thought that Su Xin was asleep, so she put down the wash basin and closed the door.

[Host, you have a fever.]

Su Xin did not respond to it and continued to sleep for the rest of the day.

Qu Feiqing came to see Su Xin after the morning. Originally, she did not want to come after Su Xin’s indifferent attitude last night. However, something about Su Xin’s reaction was not right, and Qu Feiqing couldn’t let it go, so to simply soothe her mind, she went to find Su Xin.

“See your majesty. Miss is still asleep.”

Shu Quan bowed to Qu Feiqing lightly.

Still Sleeping?

Qu Feiqing pushed the door lightly and walked to Su Xin’s side.

Su Xin had covered her entire body with the quilt, only her hair was exposed.

 Qu Feiqing lifted the quilt a little, revealing Su Xin’s flushed face.

Qu Fei frowned and reached to check for the temperature of Susin’s forehead, it was extremely hot.

“Hurry up and go fetch a physician.”

Shu Quan was taken aback, and quickly ran out.

Su Xin closed her eyes and felt that someone was touching her forehead. It was cool and comfortable.

“Qiu Qing, I’m so uncomfortable.”

Su Xin acted unconsciously, shouting the name of the person she trusted the most.

Qu Feiqing was taken aback, the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

TL Note: Fourteen is saying how because of the mosaics/censors it promotes harmony between the system and the host so that there isn’t awkwardness.
