Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

Sheng Changan smiled and said, "Didn't you say you would tell me your name and stay with me? So what's your name?"

Seeing Sheng Changan's pale face, but still smiling and asking her, Mudan's heart gradually settled down. The adults still remembered their promise. "My lord, my name is Ye Ru."

Sheng Changan paused slightly and asked, "Surname Ye?"

"Your Excellency is right. It was that Ye. My grandfather arranged the way for us, but the servants along the way suddenly turned against us, which is why I ended up in this situation today." Ye Qing felt a little melancholy.

After this year of hellish life, she thought she had forgotten everything that happened in the past, but she found out that it had always been there.

"If I hadn't heard the legends from adults here, I might not have survived. When I first arrived here, I was lucky enough to have an older sister who told me about this place."

"Perhaps one day after we escape from here and go to Guangping County, you will protect us, but she didn't wait."

Ye Ru looked a little sad, with red eyes. She was a lady from a noble family, but she had fallen to this point. If it weren't for her, she would have committed suicide at that time.

Unfortunately, she was so beautiful but had a tragic fate. She died in front of him after knowing him for less than half a month.

Sheng Changan didn't know how to comfort her. This world was so unfair to women. The founding empress of Jingguo was a woman, so why did the status of women become worse and worse afterwards?

"Who is Ye Xingzhou to you?"

Ye Ru's eyes lit up. "It's my cousin. Is he with the adults?"

Sheng Changan nodded slightly, "You can see him when you get to Guangping."

"Perhaps we are the only two left in the Ye family. The Ye family is really attracting too much attention. With the current position, it is no longer possible for grandfather to retreat whenever he wants."

"Xingzhou was the first to leave home. When I left later, my grandfather was already dying. The Ye family, regardless of gender, and the Liu family spared no one."

"Along the way, my guards were killed or injured, which gave him the opportunity to take advantage of." Ye Ru felt a little sad. Perhaps after being exiled from the Shen family and the loyal ministers gradually disappearing inexplicably, the fate of the Ye family was already doomed.

Sheng Changan's eyes moved, so the woman being suppressed might be because she heard something. "Have you heard anything about this matter?"

Ye Ru shook her head. "I don't know. I only know it's related to a prophecy. My grandfather also tried to find out, but he didn't get much information."

Sheng Changan was lost in thought. A prophecy? Her fingers moved. "What are you going to do next?"

This time, Mudan was very determined, "I want to stay with you, sir."

"Is that all?" Sheng Changan was a little disappointed. She had high hopes for Ye Ru. From the first time they met until now, she did meet some of her expectations.

Sheng Changan could see that in the building, almost all those people obeyed Ye Ru's orders. When she followed behind Na Risu, she responded very cleverly. Such a person should not be just like this.

Ye Ru was silent. She knew what the adult meant. Perhaps a year ago, when she met the adult, she must have been full of confidence, but now she might be afraid.

Afraid of other people's eyes and afraid that this world is unfair to women.

Sheng Changan fixed his eyes on her face. "When you are in a high position, no one dares to accuse you of your past. If you don't care about it yourself, the rumors outside can't hurt you."

"You can follow Captain Li recently and see them. Although there aren't many women in Guangping, there are still quite a few."

Sheng Changan was about to say something when he suddenly felt a foul smell in his nose. He frowned slightly. Why did this smell like...

"Sir" Yuan Qi walked over with a distorted face. As he walked, the smell became stronger.

Mudan took a few steps back, but raised her head when she heard his last name was Yuan.

Sheng Changan felt dizzy from the smoke. "Ye Ru, open all the windows."

After she was able to catch her breath, she asked subtly, "Why... do you smell strange?"

Yuan Qi was extremely sad and angry. The upbringing of a noble family was gone. He wanted to kill these people now. "Sir, I think these fools are really unteachable. It would be better to throw them all into the cesspool and teach them a lesson. These people are simply..."

Sheng Changan silently covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves. She seemed to know something. In fact, this kind of thing could be washed away, but there was nothing unusual on Yuan Qi's face. It was obvious that he had already washed it, but there was still such a strong smell.

Her gaze stayed on his hair, her eyes flashed, and she silently put down her sleeves. After all, he was doing things for himself.

Of course Yuan Qi noticed her gaze, and was filled with grief and anger. He even forgot what he came for, and left with a flick of his sleeves. He had no mutual hatred for these fools, and when had he ever suffered such a great humiliation?

Sheng Changan felt a little guilty. She really couldn't help it. It seemed that these people had used all kinds of tricks recently. She originally wanted to go out and take a look, but now she thought that there was no need to rush.
