Luanfeng Country, east of the imperial city, princess royal residence.
It was April, and the spring sunshine was bright and beautiful. When Bi Lou walked into the warm room, her mistress was resting on a soft couch.
"Your Highness."
Bi Lou gently walked to the couch and called out in a low voice. The woman wearing a luxurious red phoenix robe slowly opened her eyes. Her phoenix eyes were filled with an unparalleled sharpness.
"Your Highness, just as you expected. Her Majesty really went to the Feng Family to mourn. Right now, Hong Shuang is guarding the Feng Residence with a group of imperial guards. "
"Heh."
Su Wan stood up and waved her long sleeves. She sneered and said, "Back then, when the empress was still alive, I wanted her to marry Feng Wushuang into the palace but she refused. Now that he's dead, she went to mourn. She's just doing it for the Feng Family's mistress and Feng Family's military officer."
"Your Highness is wise. No matter how Her Majesty shows goodwill to the Feng Family, Feng Family's military officer and Madam Feng are on your side."
Saying this, Bi Lou's gaze flickered. "Your Highness, you've really decided on Master Yue?"
Hearing Bi Lou mention Yue Qing, a cold glint flickered in Su Wan's eyes. "Bi Lou, you know how I've treated him all these years. Yet, he betrayed me for that slut, Su Man. Everyone who betrays me must die. He, Yue Qing, is no exception! Wanting me, Su Wan, to be lenient on him is simply a fool's dream! "
Feeling the coldness exuding from Su Wan, Bi Lou immediately lowered her head respectfully. "This servant understands what to do."
"Mn. You may leave."
Su Wan waved her sleeves and Bi Lou immediately left respectfully. When she was the only one left in the warm room, Su Wan's gaze turned complicated.
How did Feng Wushuang die?
What happened to being the first supporting male?
…
Luanfeng Country was a world where women ruled supreme. Of course, although this country was ruled by an empress and women had a high status, the men in the country lived normal lives. They could marry, take the imperial examinations, and even enter the imperial court to become officials. This was the result of the previous emperor's reform.
Ever since the late emperor implemented the new law that men and women were equal, Luanfeng Country implemented the male imperial examination system. Until now, one-third of the officials in the imperial court were male. There were even two male officials who held great power in the imperial court.
Left Minister, Liu Xuan.
Grand Commandant, Feng Wuchen.
Feng Wuchen was Feng Wushuang's older brother. The Feng Clan had been loyal to the imperial family for generations. Madam Feng and the previous emperor were sworn sisters. When the previous emperor was still in power, he had always wanted to match his youngest daughter with the second young master of the Feng Clan. Unfortunately, King Xiang had a dream and the goddess was not interested. In the end, the marriage between the two did not go through.
Even so, Feng Wushuang, who had always been weak and sickly, still deeply loved Suman.
Suman, the empress of Luanfeng Country and also the first female lead in this world. She was born with a golden spoon in her mouth and was designated as the heir to the throne. Two years ago, the previous emperor suddenly passed away and Suman ascended the throne. She had just ascended the throne. Because she was still young, many old officials in the imperial court didn't care about her. Thankfully, the Right Minister, Chi Xueyuan, and Grand Commandant, Feng Wuchen, protected her, allowing her to safely get through the most turbulent period.
Now, the imperial court had just stabilized and Suman had just taken in a male concubine. Everything seemed calm but in reality, there were surging undercurrents and a storm was about to come.
Su Wan's identity in this world was Suman's older sister, the princess royal of Luanfeng Country. Although the two had the same mother, their fathers were different. Su Wan's father was only the former emperor's male attendant and had a low status. Therefore, Su Wan wasn't favored in the imperial city since she was young. After she grew up, the former emperor didn't like her either.
But Suman was completely different. She was the product of love between the former emperor and the man she loved the most. Ever since she was young, almost all of the best things in the imperial city belonged to her.
Not only did this little princess who lived in a honeypot inherit the throne, but there were also countless men who loved her wholeheartedly and followed her.
In the original plot, Suman had three husbands and four maids. These seven men were all outstanding and incomparably handsome.
Yue Qing was one of the seven men.
Yue Qing, who was born in a poor family, lived up to his name. His appearance was as bright as the moon and his temperament was elegant and otherworldly. He was famous in the capital as a jade-like gentleman. Even noble ladies were impressed by his talent and treated him with respect when they saw him.
In the past, Yue Qing was the zither master in Su Wan's residence. The two would often play the zither together in the residence's small residence. Slowly and naturally, they developed different feelings for each other.
However, Su Wan was an ambitious woman. She wasn't willing to wallow in love. What she wanted was the entire empire!
After discovering that Suman also admired Yue Qing's zither skills, Su Wan took the initiative to recommend Yue Qing to the palace and let him teach Suman how to play the zither. In reality, Su Wan wanted Yue Qing to monitor and get close to Suman for her. In the beginning, Yue Qing was indeed on the same side as Su Wan. He would often tell Su Wan about Suman's movements. But slowly, Yue Qing was attracted to the young but incomparably intelligent Suman and he truly fell in love with her.
After Yue Qing understood his true feelings, he confessed everything to Suman. Su Man had found out about Su Wan's ambition from the brocade pouch the former emperor left behind. She didn't blame Yue Qing. Instead, she told him to play along and monitor Su Wan for her.
Just like this, Su Man knew a lot of Su Wan's actions in advance. This caused her plans to disrupt the imperial court several times to fail. Her repeated failures aroused Su Wan's vigilance. She told her confidant, Bi Lou, to investigate this matter. In the end, she found out that Yue Qing betrayed her.
Su Wan lost her mind after being betrayed by the man she loved. She didn't hesitate to use the imperial family's secret guards to kill Yue Qing. Unfortunately, Yue Qing was protected by Suman's people.
Since she couldn't kill Yue Qing, Su Wan gathered her direct subordinates in the capital in advance, preparing to rebel during the fifth month of every year when Her Majesty worships the ancestors.
Of course, as a cannon fodder, Su Wan's rebellion naturally wouldn't succeed. She already had Suman's spy among her people. That person leaked the news in advance and her plan to force Yue Qing to abdicate failed.
Since ancient times, the winner was the king and the loser was the villain.
Even though Suman only put Su Wan under house arrest because of their sisterhood, the proud and arrogant Su Wan couldn't accept her failure. In the end, she committed suicide in the imperial city …
This was the main plot and fate of the original body in this world that Su Wan received.
According to the original plot, it was the beginning of the fourth month now. The original body had just learned of Yue Qing's betrayal. Though she knew that she couldn't kill Yue Qing, Su Wan still told Bi Lou to order people to do it. After all, this was a good chance to confuse the other party.
Su Wan wasn't worried about fighting with Suman at all. What she was worried about the most was that she couldn't find Su Rui. According to her estimations, the first male supporting lead in this world should be Feng Wushuang. However, on the first day Su Wan entered the mission world, she received news that Feng Wushuang passed away due to illness.
This really shocked Su Wan. Because in the original plot, Feng Wushuang would only pass away a few years later. Because of his existence, the Feng Family always stood on the same side as Suman. Now that Feng Wushuang passed away, the Feng Family immediately changed their target and prepared to cooperate with Su Wan.
Could it be that this world also had people who had been reborn or transmigrators?
