“Fallen City” talked about Ling Country’s General who invoked the ire of the emperor. Caught in the plot of scheming officials, he was eventually executed for treason.
But due to the earnest pleading of his loyal subjects, Nian Jungong only executed the men and spared the women who became prostitutes for the soldiers.
And that was how the story unfolded.
Li Qingcheng was resourceful and managed to escape. Disguising herself as a man, she made her way to the capital to take the imperial examination. After becoming the top scholar in the exam, she eventually became the Prime Minister and plotted her revenge step by step.
In the end, she helped the new emperor ascend to the throne and became the new empress!
Xia Weibao smirked. Disguising as a man. She had experience with that.
Thinking back to the day when the emperor had gotten rid of all the concubines for her sake, she had thought that it would be too boring and hence, stopped that from happening.
It was shameful to think that those concubines thought that she was really the emperor even until their deaths.
Xia Weibao felt a little down. She did miss those concubines.
Falling into a trance, her nose wrinkled and a tear trickled down her face.
Emperor, I miss you so much…
Xia Weibao suddenly jolted awake angrily. How could she miss that bast*rd emperor?
This was crazy and unthinkable. It seemed like she would need to return to the mental hospital for a few days.
Xia Weibao stood up and patted her face. She needed a cold bath to calm down.
She was still not used to the modern clothes, especially her bra. Those two circular wires were choking her.
It was difficult to even breathe. How could it compare to the comfortable undershirt worn in the ancient days?
So, Xia Weibao reached her hands behind her, unclasped her bra and pulled it out. Finally, she felt a little more comfortable. She casually tossed her bra towards the bed behind her.
Anyway, Lu Hualiang was not back home yet. She was the only one in the room. There was no need to care about her image. Yet, the moment she threw her bra out, something felt wrong…
The air of danger was increasing…
Xia Weibao’s heart thumped violently and she turned around silently.
There was someone sitting on the large bed behind her!
Lu Hualiang!
At this moment, he was wearing a sleeping gown. Perhaps it was because he had just woken up, his hair was a little dishevelled. His eyes were partially covered by his hair, and his gaze was dark. His robe flowed loosely, revealing his large muscles.
Beastly, sexy.
This visual feast was not the main point!
The main point was that the bra that the empress had just thrown out was now hanging on Lu Hualiang’s head.
Oh my gosh!
Almost instinctively, the empress sprang back with a face filled with horror as she looked at Lu Hualiang’s face that was darkening.
Was he not out on a business trip and only coming back in two days? Why was he here?!!
The empress stormed off.
Lu Hualiang sullenly flung her bra away.
The veins on his arm became so obvious and how he wished that he could pinch Xia Weibao aggressively like he was pinching her bra.
Then, a strange harmonious noise came from the laptop that Xia Weibao had placed on the coffee table earlier.
Xia Weibao silently turned around. When she saw the image being played on her laptop screen, she wanted to knock her head against the wall.
Sister Tong had a feud with her. Definitely!
She had only wanted the video of her being maligned. Why did Sister Tong give her so many other videos? And they were even on auto-play…
Xia Weibao squeezed her eyes shut and shouted internally.
Let there be lightning! If it does not kill Lu Hualiang, then strike me and kill me first! She thought.
The murderous cold humph from behind caused a chill to run down Xia Weibao’s spine. She rushed to the coffee table, wanting to end this humiliating scene.
Yet, she was not familiar with modern advanced technology. Filled with nerves, she did not know where to press. Instead of switching off the laptop, she increased its volume.
In that instance, the whole room was filled with sensuous noises.
Xia Weibao: “…”
Let her die!
Her embarrassment had turned into fury. She clenched her fist and aggressively punched the laptop.
Zzzz—
The laptop gave out some strange noises before the screen turned black and everything turned peaceful once again.
Ignoring the broken keyboard, she could act as though nothing had just happened…
Lu Hualiang’s eyes twitched violently.
He had seen many tough women, and he managed many of them too. But for someone to be caught watching an adult film, becoming so embarrassed and angry to smash a computer, that was a first for him.
His initial wrath had dissipated. But it was not that he was not angry.
As Lu Hualiang’s gaze was so indescribably sexy, Xia Weibao felt ashamed and quickly explained herself.
“This was on auto-play. It’s none of my business.”
Lu Hualiang sneered. She’s only acting!
“I’m not deaf.”
Due to his angle, he had only seen her back and not the laptop. But he could very well hear those sounds.
Xia Weibao’s face flushed with embarrassment. She would never be able to clear her name!
“Xia Weibao, I don’t care about your character but you must remember your identity now. Don’t be so shameful!”
After being humiliated time and time again, Xia Weibao flared up.
She had been killed once by the bast*rd emperor. Now in another life, she still had such a hard life. It would be better to just hang herself and end her life! In this life, she would not be bullied anymore!
So she raised her head with her chest puffed up and retorted.
“You mean watching this film is shameful? Since you know what I’m watching just by the sound alone, you must be very experienced, CEO Lu.”
She had killed it with her words.
She saw Lu Hualiang’s face darken. He rose from the bed and walked towards her.
That gutsy Xia Weibao just moments earlier suddenly disappeared.
Lu Hualiang walked to her and picked up the bra that she had thrown with a dangerous smile.
“I’m not very experienced. Would you like to try it?”
Alarm bells rang in the empress’ head. Instinctively, she made a move to protect herself before Lu Hualiang made his.
With a swish of her hand and then a loud slap, her hand landed squarely on his face…
It was the first time Lu Hualiang had been beaten. He was dumbfounded.
Xia Weibao was at a loss for words too.
Still in a daze, she looked at her own hand. She did not know that this was how it felt to slap the emperor… It was great!
Only that Lu Hualiang’s ice cold gaze met hers, causing shivers all over. Now was the time to leave!
Just as Lu Hualiang reached out to grab her, Xia Weibao aggressively lifted up her long leg and violently kicked it towards his stomach.
Since she had already hit him, she might as well do it again!
Lu Hualiang eyes squinted. His hand rapidly changed direction and caught her leg in mid-air.
It was obviously a tense moment. But he lost his senses for a moment. Her skin is rather tender…
Xia Weibao was stunned. She took advantage of that moment and did a somersault in mid-air. Her other leg flew across the air and hit Lu Hualiang’s head straight on.
Lu Hualiang had been dazzled by her beauty and she had succeeded! She took two steps back.
Now that Xia Weibao had escaped, she quickly ran away without a word.
With a fierce tiger chasing her, she spared herself the time of even walking down the stairs. With one foot on the railing, she spread out her arms. Just like in martial arts films, she directly jumped down from the third floor to the ground floor.
Her left foot landed on the ground, while her right knee softly kneeled on the ground. Her hands even more gently touched the ground.
The whole process was extraordinarily smooth, as if she were a fairy.
This stunned the maid who was still sweeping the living room.
Xia Weibao lifted up her head to see Lu Hualiang standing where she had just jumped down from, looking at her in a mixture of amazement and confusion.
Oh my gosh!
The empress was ambitious, but still a scaredy-cat. So, she ran away without hesitation, disappearing within moments.
