I'm Ecstatic About Transmigrating Into a Novel As the Villainous Empress's Follower

401: Section 401”I am merely a fake King of Qi...” Water Cloud Consort said coldly, her eyes filled with resentment: ”If my brother were here, how could he allow the Prince to humiliate me like this?”

”Your brother?” Cao Yang smiled leisurely: ”He is indeed still around...”

”Is the Prince speaking the truth?!” Water Cloud Consort sat up straight instantly, her eyes filled with disbelief, and she looked at Cao Yang with extreme excitement!

Cao Yang could even feel her excitement.

”Of course!” Cao Yang nodded with a light laugh: ”After he left Qi Land, he went to the Twelve Dong of the Miao Territory to seek the method for a Breakthrough in his cultivation.”

Water Cloud Consort nodded along, gritting her teeth, her eyes misting over: ”I have searched for my brother for sixteen whole years without any news; how did the Prince come to know this?”

”I was even able to discover your identity as a fake King of Qi.” Cao Yang smiled faintly: ”How could I not know the whereabouts of the real King of Qi?”

Water Cloud Consort bit her lip hard. Learning that her royal brother was actually still alive, the mist of grievance in her eyes could no longer be contained.

Especially at this very moment. To protect the Qi Land left behind by her brother, she was being humiliated like this by Cao Yang, this Great Treacherous Minister...!

”If it wasn’t sudden, why didn’t he say a word to me when he left!”

”And in these sixteen years, he hasn’t returned once, nor has there been any news!”

All this time, the strength she had been forcing herself to maintain was completely shattered at this moment.

Water Cloud Consort slumped against Cao Yang again, as if confiding in him, or perhaps talking to herself.

Seeing this, Cao Yang stroked her long hair and comforted her: ”Your brother didn’t disappear without reason, nor did he not want to communicate with you; rather, he was ambitious and wanted to use this to deceive Yuan Gangtian and scheme for the dragon spring secret treasure.”

”Just for that dragon spring secret treasure!”

”He could bear to leave me alone to guard this Qi Land for him for sixteen years!” Water Cloud Consort was still somewhat indignant.

Unknowingly, tears dampened Cao Yang’s lapels...

”Didn’t you also participate in the scheme for that dragon spring secret treasure?” Cao Yang looked at her with a wry smile.

The one who seized the dragon spring treasure box and secretly sent it away... was none other than her...!

”...” Water Cloud Consort was ashamed and silent, because what Cao Yang said wasn’t false...

But her starting point wasn’t out of any ambition, but rather to protect Qi Land amidst the chaotic state of the world.

”It’s just a pity—”

”Although your brother is ambitious, but...” Cao Yang suddenly sighed.

”But what?” Water Cloud Consort frowned slightly.

”But someone is coming...” Cao Yang smiled wryly.

As soon as his voice fell, footsteps could be heard. Following that, a Gorgeous Woman arrived. It was Brahma Sound Heaven, the leader of the Nine Heavens Saintesses.

Just a moment ago, she had seen Gu Chungang and Ao Gu, the two personal guards of Cao Yang, leave the Qi King Mansion, and assumed that Cao Yang had also left.

So she wanted to come and plead with Water Cloud Consort. For them to be Bed-warming Maidservants for that Great Treacherous Minister Cao Yang was truly embarrassing!

Moreover, it was Water Cloud Consort who had ordered them to go and stop Cao Yang. How could she sell them out in the blink of an eye?

But—she didn’t expect that. As soon as she walked into the main hall, she saw a scene on the qi wang seat that left her in utter shock!

This Treacherous Official Cao Yang! How dare he! For a moment, she froze in place, her face full of shock and rage!

”Presumptuous!”

”Cao Yang, how could you be like this...”

But before she could finish, Water Cloud Consort coldly shouted without even turning her head: ”Get out!”

”King of Qi?!” Brahma Sound Heaven was incredulous.

”I told you to get out!” Water Cloud Consort said coldly. With a wave of her fair hand, she swept Brahma Sound Heaven, who was at the third level of the Martial King Realm, out.

Bang—

Outside the hall, having been swept out, Brahma Sound Heaven had a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. She then smiled bitterly, finally understanding. The scene she had just witnessed left her incredibly shocked.
