Transmigrated Empresses (Male and Female) - Chapter 120
"Qianqing, I have a question for you."
"explain."
"Do you think I look like a girl?" If everyone can tell, am I doomed?
Qianqing looked at me in surprise, put down her work, and told Xiaohai to leave. "Why did you think of asking this?"
"Does it look like it or not?" This was a matter of life and death for me, so I had to answer quickly.
Qianqing smiled and said, "It's like that when you're not talking."
What does this have to do with talking? I stood up and turned around in front of him, asking expectantly, "Do you have any manly spirit?"
Qianqing shook her head honestly.
I slumped into my chair, dejected. "How could there be none? I was very careful in training them." Could it be that my acting was so bad that even Chou Qian didn't know? Surely no one else knew either. I lay on the table, pondering my chances of survival.
Qianqing suddenly asked, "Where did you go today?"
"Go...go..." I couldn't say Fu Nuan Ge, much less Yan Xiao Lou: "I'm going to Ya Xian Ge." I nodded firmly, "I'm going to Ya Xian Ge to eat abalone."
Qianqing glared at me, clearly distrustful: "Who were you with this morning?"
"Ugly and modest."
Qian Qing moved her lips mysteriously, a foxy smile spreading across her face: "You went to Fu Nuan Pavilion."
"No way. How could I possibly go to such a place?" I slid down the table a little, lacking confidence and unable to straighten myself.
"What did Xi Lingchi say to you?"
You know that too! I lifted my eyelids: "He said I'm neither male nor female."
Qianqing stood up and approached me with the air of an emperor: "He threatened you."
Since Qianqing used a definitive sentence, I didn't need to hide it: "He said he wanted me to prove my identity in front of all the civil and military officials."
"You're afraid of dying."
"Of course!" If I weren't afraid of death, I wouldn't be wasting my breath talking to you here.
"Where did Sikong go at that time?"
"How did you know he wasn't there?" Have we all gotten smarter, or am I just stupid?
"If Sikong were here, Xi Lingchi would never have had a chance to speak to you."
That's fine. Looks like I've gotten dumber: "Do you think I look like a girl?"
Qianqing rubbed the top of my head: "It's not a matter of whether it looks like me or not, the problem is with you."
I looked at him in surprise: "How did you know? How come I didn't know you knew? You know these things, why don't I know? What makes you think you know me? I don't know when you found out..."
Qianqing helplessly covered my mouth to stop me from speaking: "Alright, you're getting me annoyed."
I brushed his hand away: "When did you find out?! That's outrageous! Is all the fear I live every day for nothing?!"
“When I was very young, I probably hadn’t even met you yet.”
I opened my eyes wide and my mouth wide open: "So early!"
Qianqing helped me close my jaw. "When I chose Zimo, I knew he cared about you, so I just looked him up casually, that's all."
"Don't make it sound so easy! What about everyone else? Am I the only fool here?!"
"I don't know. It seems that Sikong also investigated for a while, but I don't know why he gave up later. He's a strange person. I don't understand whether he knows or not. Is there no regret? He's a stubborn person and doesn't have that kind of mind. Besides, given his personality, whether you're male or female doesn't matter. Su Gu isn't very interested in your gender. He's always suspicious, but I haven't seen him take any action. As for your brother—Shen Ziming, I think that if you don't say anything, in his mind, you'll always be his younger brother."
So, is my identity a secret in a way that is also a secret? The definition of a secret lies in whether or not people want it to be a secret.
"Chouqian didn't know; he only realized it last month."
"I know, I was quite surprised that he gave up investigating you."
"Maybe they want to maintain a bit of mystery." Unlike you, there's no beauty in looking at flowers under a clear sky. I despise you.
Qianqing leaned against the table, leisurely looking at me: "Aren't you worried that I'll dislike you and kill you for deceiving the emperor?"
"Hey! Be reasonable. You made me do it, not the other way around. Don't drag people into a fire and add fuel to the fire." He said very unkindly.
Qianqing pulled me up from my seat and sat down herself: "Aren't you afraid of dying now?"
I glanced at him, jumped onto the table and sat down: "You still want to kill me now."
"I'm not sure." Damn it! You're so shameless! When have you ever been sure? I slammed the plate right in his face: "Then kill me now!" You kill me, and I'll turn into a ghost and scare you.
"You've rebelled!" Qianqing shook off the scattered seeds on her body, and I pulled her off the table: "Get out, get out, don't let me see you."
I immediately grabbed the table leg, not wanting to leave. We hadn't even finished talking, why were they kicking me out? "What about the matter of Xi Lingchi threatening me?" I couldn't let him get together with those who had ulterior motives to impeach me. What if the Qing Dynasty couldn't suppress it and sent me to my death? Wouldn't I be at a huge loss?
Qianqing kicked the table in a huff, leaving only one leg for me to hold: "You deserved to be threatened, you asked for it."
After saying that, he threw me out without any mercy.
--Bang! He slammed the door shut, making the windows rattle.
I timidly took a step back. Pah! I'll never come to see you again. Go to hell!
