Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 884 - 873: The Cowardly Emperor

"Zhang Yuwen wins!"

"Impressive, this is already the fifth match today, right?"

"The final opponent is only that Li Xiao from the Flying Sword Sect with the most wins yesterday; I wonder who will ultimately get the Wuyun Sword."

"I bet on Li Xiao to win. After all, he’s ten years older, so his combat experience will surely be richer."

"Not necessarily, I think Zhang Yuwen has a higher chance of winning. Although his cultivation time is short, his talent is higher."

"We’ll see who gets the Wuyun Sword in tomorrow’s final battle."

"Cousin!" Kong Suxin looked at the victorious Zhang Yuwen and smiled brightly, "Congratulations!"

Zhang Yuwen didn’t speak, but it was clear he was very confident and determined to obtain the Wuyun Sword.

"You did well," his martial uncle praised, "but don’t get complacent. Even if you don’t get the Wuyun Sword, it’s still a valuable experience."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuwen’s gaze became even more resolute: "I will definitely win the Wuyun Sword."

"That’s his fiancée, isn’t it!"

"Seems so, it’s a pity such a talented person is going to marry an ordinary person."

"That woman really hit the jackpot!"

"I heard she was the Empress of the Daluo Dynasty before, and it seems Zhang Yuwen made some deal with Your Majesty to free her."

"Zhang Yuwen is indeed sentimental, but he doesn’t have great taste."

Kong Suxin listened to the discussions, involuntarily tightened her lips and clenched her fists, but mindful of her identity outside, she held back. However, what could she do even if she couldn’t hold back? She’s just a mortal; does she really want her cousin to be enemies with those cultivators? She couldn’t be a burden to her cousin anymore.

"What do you people know? This is called undying loyalty. So what if she’s a mortal? Mortals aren’t deserving of love?"

"Exactly, there must be something about Kong Suxin that’s worthy of Zhang Yuwen’s love, according to you guys."

"I think you’re just jealous that he has a fiancée and you don’t. A bunch of single men mocking others, where’s your shame?"

As the group of men pointed fingers at Kong Suxin, a group of female cultivators immediately stood up and retorted unceremoniously.

Kong Suxin felt warmth in her heart and smiled warmly at them.

"Don’t take it to heart, you know your own happiness. Just ignore them," a female cultivator patted her shoulder and comforted.

"Thank you for speaking up for me," she said gratefully.

The female cultivator nodded indifferently: "Just standing up for what’s right."

Yao Qinxue looked at the triumphant Kong Suxin, her eyes red with jealousy. Why does Kong Suxin get to be defended by her cousin? What right does she have to such treatment?

Just because of some childhood affection? Her cousin won’t be enamored with her eternally; after all, she will age and grow old.

But she was different. Yao Qinxue thought of the hidden elixir recipe she had and smiled slightly; she was the most qualified one.

However, how would she obtain the herbs listed in the elixir recipe? Yao Qinxue didn’t trust anyone and her eyes fell again on Zhang Yuwen.

But if her cousin got the elixir recipe, he would definitely give it to Kong Suxin. At this thought, a burst of annoyance arose in her heart. But it didn’t matter; only by taking out the elixir recipe would her cousin marry her, right? There’s still time, and who will win is yet to be decided! Even if Kong Suxin has her cousin’s love, she may not be able to win against her; she could endure.

At this moment, Kong Suxin did not know that her fiancé was coveted by someone, or rather, she had long known about Yao Qinxue’s unusual interest in Zhang Yuwen but did not take it to heart, believing her cousin liked her.

But she never would have thought that Yao Qinxue held something that could make Zhang Yuwen compromise, and it was for her that he would compromise.

"Looks like Zhang Yuwen has a great chance, brother, I don’t quite like him," on the way back to the palace, Ye Ying said disdainfully, "He’s too pretentious, seems very polite but gives a sense of arrogance. I don’t like him teaching me."

"Elder brother doesn’t like him much either, but he does have his merits. He will answer any question without withholding information. If he truly wins in the end, treat him as an ordinary teacher."

"A teacher? Brother, you are something else."

The siblings joked and laughed, then encountered two unwelcome people.

"I pay respects to Your Majesty." Two graceful concubines stood on the only path to the palace for Ye Qiu and Ye Ying.

"Brother, it’s Princess Consort Hui and Lady." Ye Ying glared at them and then laughed as if watching a show.

It’s not her fault for being like this. Back when her elder brother was oppressed by the State Preceptor, these two had no respect for him at all, and even openly showed they liked the Second Imperial Brother, Ye Song. Unfortunately, her second brother is now just bones, and her elder brother has become a cultivator who holds royal power firmly in his hands.

These two finally realized the situation and are trying to cozy up to her elder brother? This must be the first time they’ve dressed up so carefully for him, thinking that this would make him interested?

Princess Consort Hui? Lady? These titles are really disgraced by them.

"Rise," Ye Qiu said expressionlessly. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Yet, Princess Consort Hui and Lady were undeterred, flashing an enticing smile at Ye Qiu as they rose: "Your Majesty, you must be tired. I have prepared a bath and excellent food in the palace, please come and enjoy."

"I have made a set of nightclothes and a belt for Your Majesty, please do not disdain them."

The two rushed to show themselves, lowering their postures as much as possible, afraid Ye Qiu would recall past incidents.

"Are the two of you so idle?" Ye Qiu looked at them coldly, "Since you’re so idle, go serve the Empress Dowager at Danxia Palace!"

Princess Consort Hui and Lady looked as if struck by lightning upon hearing this. Serving the Empress Dowager at Danxia Palace? Everyone knows since her face was injured last time, the Empress Dowager’s temper has been terrible, and knowing her bad relationship with Your Majesty, what hope do they have if they go to Danxia Palace?

"Your Majesty, I..."

"What? Any objections?" Before they could finish, Ye Qiu’s eyes sharpened and they were instantly too frightened to speak.

"No, we have no objections." Princess Consort Hui and Lady trembled, utterly devoid of their previous arrogance, filled with regret. Knowing they’d offended Your Majesty before, why did they seek a fleeting vanity and gamble on a narrow chance?

"Brother, wasn’t there a Princess Consort Yang as well? She seemed to have shown affection for Zhang Yuwen too," Ye Ying recalled, "How will you deal with her?"

"If she doesn’t provoke me and stays quietly in the palace, I won’t mistreat her. If she wants to leave the palace, I might consider it when I’m in a good mood. But if she behaves like Princess Consort Hui and Lady, she can go serve the Empress Dowager too!"
