All Worlds Beg the Villainess to Act Like a Human

Chapter 17: Chapter 17: No One Can Take Her Empire Away (17)

Hee Qingshan looked perplexed, ”Madam, is it Yan’er?”

Recalling how Yun Qianyan shot him without hesitation earlier, a silent hatred brewed in his heart.

How dare she!

He remembered this matter. Without a proper explanation, it’s not over.

He touched his chest, only feeling intense pain. Only now did he realize that the arrow had deviated from his heart, allowing him to escape death. Indeed, he had great fortune.

Amidst Hee Qingshan’s turbulent thoughts, Qiann Yan approached him with many soldiers.

”Great King, how do you feel? Previously, I had no choice but to act. You were determined to sacrifice yourself for the realm, yet I couldn’t bear for you to die like that. Luckily, I am skilled in archery, which let the arrow deviate from your heart, deceiving Prince Chang, sparing your life.”

Originally ready to accuse, Hee Qingshan swallowed his words upon hearing this: ”You knew the arrow wouldn’t be fatal for me?”

”How could I personally kill the Great King?” Qiann Yan spoke, a slight smile emerging on her indifferent face, ”Not only did I not kill the Great King, Ling Shishi survives too. That previous scene was merely to confuse Prince Chang.”

”The general’s archery skills are excellent. We are impressed.” All the soldiers were excited; the general was the person they admired most. If she weren’t a woman, she’d make a great emperor. Following the general is their genuine wish.

Actually, if the general were willing, even a woman as emperor would make them submit willingly.

The Great King is good, but somewhat weak, always hindering the general. We’re really worried about how the realm would fare in the Great King’s hands.

The Great King’s looks are ruined now, with two deep scars on his face, indeed not pleasant to look at, bringing shame.

The people of the realm all believe in the general, but not the Great King. Would the people accept the Great King as emperor?

Concerned.

Hee Qingshan was stunned, ”Ling Shishi is also alive?”

”How is Shi’er?”

”Shi’er’s injuries are not severe, with a few days of recovery, she will be fine. After some time, she will return to serve by the Great King’s side. Great King, you should rest well, your injuries are serious. If not properly cared for, they might leave a lasting ailment.”

Hee Qingshan looked to Xun Zihuai beside him: ”Even Young Master Xun is unable?”

”Unable, the Great King’s wound is too deep and wasn’t treated promptly. I can’t help.” Xun Zihuai replied, his expression unchanged, treating was a joke, this person doesn’t deserve his efforts.

Let those two scars remain on his face; they quite suit him.

”Alright, you all may leave now; I want to rest.” Hee Qingshan’s mood was somewhat downcast, the joy of surviving had been scattered.

”General, why did you spare their lives?” Xun Zihuai was somewhat displeased, ”Keeping them is trouble; it would have been better to kill them directly earlier—there was a reason, and no one would question the general’s decision. Outsiders would only praise the general for such righteousness, sacrificing her husband for the realm.”

With obstacles gone, fame achieved, he didn’t understand why she spared them, it was not right.

”After some time, I will become emperor. You will prepare for me; you should know without needing my instruction, right?”

”The general hasn’t explained why she spared their lives.” Xun Zihuai was petulant, slightly angry, ”Otherwise, should I use two pills to silence them and announce externally that their injuries were too severe to save?”

”Leave them for now; I want them to watch me become emperor.”

Xun Zihuai was momentarily stunned, slightly puzzled, wasn’t that torment for them?

Could it be keeping them around is meant to torment them? He didn’t quite understand why, was there hatred in her heart for those two? What animosity could cause her to plot so intricately?

”If they died like that, wouldn’t the world remember them? Gaining a good reputation, they weren’t that kind of people.”

Indeed, it was truly to have them watch her become emperor.
