v1c14: Cannon Fodder Who Seeks Death [14]

In the end, Qin Li allowed Qin An Jin to return. Using the excuse of rarely seeing her family, Su Tang requested to escort him out of the palace. Qin Li didn't make things difficult for her and generously granted her a day's leave.

Inside the carriage, Qin An Jin's expression was unsightly. Although he had been muddle-headed all these years and didn't feel anything even when dressed as a woman, it was different now. He was a seven-foot-tall man, yet he had to stand before the world as a woman. All the burdens of the An Prince's Mansion fell upon his younger sister's frail shoulders.

That was his only younger sister. She should have been protected by him and grown up carefree!

He didn't even dare to think about how she had survived all these years!

He took a deep breath, his nails digging into his palm. "Yi Bao, when do you plan to switch back our identities?"

Hearing this, Su Tang blamed herself. "It was my negligence, making my older brother wear women's clothing."

Qin An Jin's heart ached. "I don't blame you. I just feel responsible. I should be the one to shoulder this burden."

Su Tang suddenly had a curious thought. Qin An Jin wasn't her. He was a native-born ancient man who had even come close to the throne. If given the chance, would he desire that position?

"Brother, let me ask you a question." She thought for a moment and felt that it was better not to beat around the bush. "Brother, if you had the chance, would you fight for the throne?"

Su Tang asked too calmly. Before she spoke, it was as casual as asking what he wanted to eat for dinner. So when she said it, Qin An Jin's face changed.

He stood up abruptly in shock, forgetting that he was in a carriage. His head hit the roof, and the pain brought him back to his senses. "Yi Bao, why would you think that?" Then, he suddenly remembered the current emperor. "Did he bully you?"

Su Tang leaned lazily against the carriage wall. "No, he hasn't bullied me yet. But when I was young, I bullied him quite a bit. You should have heard that he was the least favored prince of the late emperor. Anyone could step on him."

In the few months since Qin An Jin had woken up, he had gained some understanding of the situation in the capital. Qin Li had killed all the other princes and even those ministers who had offended him, eliminating them all. But why did he only leave Su Tang alive?

He had read those storybooks and initially thought they were nonsense. But now...

"Yi Bao, tell me, did you have a hand in him ascending the throne?"

Su Tang nodded honestly and even gave a wicked smile. "Brother, don't you think it's very satisfying to put the person he least favors in the position he cares about most?"

Su Tang had always appeared harmless, a completely normal纨绔. But now, a wicked aura emanated from her, making her look like a little devil. For a moment, her aura was even similar to that of the person in the palace.

Qin An Jin wasn't scared by her appearance. Instead, his heart ached for her. "Yi Bao, it's all in the past. Brother is awake now." His voice choked towards the end. "It's brother's fault. Brother didn't protect you well."

"This has nothing to do with brother. The person who was wrong has already gone to the underworld to atone for their sins." Thinking of the person in the palace, Su Tang didn't know what expression to make. She lifted the carriage curtain and looked at the bustling street. "We're still alive, so things can't just be in the past."

Qin An Jin didn't know what the young ladies from other noble families were like, but he was certain that they were definitely not like his younger sister.

"If you want to fight, brother is willing to take the risk. You carried the An Prince's Mansion for the past ten years. Now, it's brother's turn." He reached out and gently stroked her hair. "Yi Bao, brother has never changed."

Su Tang breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that when the plot reached a critical point, Qin An Jin would rush out and cause trouble. She really didn't want him to get hurt.

"But does brother like that position?"

Qin An Jin surprisingly didn't show his usual solemn expression and instead laughed. "Yi Bao, we have no choice. Either we fight, or we die."

"But brother, what if we don't have to die?"

Qin An Jin didn't answer, but from the fleeting look of shock on his face, Su Tang understood.

Naturally, those words reached the ears of the person in the palace verbatim. Qin Li played with the thumb ring on his thumb, casually, yet it made the kneeling guard inexplicably nervous.

Just as the cold sweat on the guard's forehead was about to drip down, Qin Li said lightly, "Continue to have them followed." He didn't say anything more.

Su Tang had a meal at the mansion and left. She originally wanted to find her group of fox friends, but those guys seemed to be scared out of their wits by Qin Li and none of them came out. Not only that, but they even had someone send her money.

What did this mean? Were they afraid that she didn't have money, or were they trying to show that they still cared about her?!

Since Su Tang had finally come out, she naturally didn't want to stay in the mansion. So she took her two maidservants and went shopping. She originally wanted to take the opportunity to buy some delicious food. She wasn't allowed to eat in the palace, nor was she allowed to eat in the An Prince's Mansion. Surely no one could control her outside, right?

However, as a transmigrator with a mission, she encountered an important person as soon as she went out.

She stopped and looked at the young girl being bullied not far away, asking the system, "Doggy, I remember there's a female lead in this world, right?"

The system almost exploded at being called "doggy." "Change the way you address me, and I'll answer you."

Su Tang thought for a moment. "Then... Bark bark?"

The system took a deep breath. "Can I explode your dog head?"

Su Tang giggled. "We can die together, you know. So tell me quickly."

The host was too shameless. Doggy, no, the system was angry but helpless. "She's the female lead."

Su Tang was inexplicably excited. She recognized that young girl. She seemed to be the daughter of the Prime Minister. She should have been the legitimate daughter, but because her mother died early, her stepmother treated her very harshly and even wanted to marry her off to a lowly family. However, the girl was very smart. Since marrying anyone was the same, why not try to marry the high and mighty emperor? At least, if she succeeded, no one in the world would dare to bully her. If she failed, marrying those trash was no different from dying.

Su Tang admired this girl very much and asked the system, "Did she become the empress later?"

The system replied, "No, she became a Noble Consort."

Su Tang was slightly surprised. "Then what's the difference between her and the previous Noble Consort Xian?"

They were both female leads, so there had to be a difference, right? But the system said, "In terms of status, they were both Noble Consorts, no difference. In terms of children, neither of them had any. However, the female lead outlived Noble Consort Xian, so in the end, she was the most powerful person in the harem."

Su Tang was speechless. She twitched the corner of her mouth and asked, "Then which prince ascended the throne in the end?"

The system replied, "Qin Li continued to rule. He didn't have any sons."

Su Tang didn't believe it. "You clearly said before that Shen Jiu Er killed several princes. How could he not have any sons?"

The system said, "It's precisely because Shen Jiu Er killed them all that he didn't have any sons. Moreover, those sons didn't seem to be his own."

Su Tang: "..." What kind of terrible male lead is this?!
