Quick Transmigration: The Villain Always Ends Up with the Male Lead

But Yixuan was still concerned about the birthmark. Ever since he could remember, he had felt that the birthmark was very important. Therefore, after he was able to bathe himself, he no longer allowed anyone else to serve him.

Now that Shi Qi mentioned it, he subconsciously felt that Shi Qi couldn't die.

After finishing his business, Yixuan rose and left the imperial study; it was already dark. Fu'an asked, "Your Majesty, is it still Consort Zheng tonight?"

Just as he was about to nod, Yi Xuan suddenly froze. He felt he shouldn't have gone to see her, but after thinking for a moment, he still nodded.

When he arrived at Changji Palace (the emperor's sleeping quarters), Zheng Yuhe was already waiting at the palace entrance. Today, she was dressed in a plain white silk dress with a light green gauze overlay, and her makeup was also elegant and unique, making her look like a lotus emerging from water. However, Yixuan didn't even glance at her. "Go in."

Zheng Yuhe didn't bow and followed Yixuan into the shop. The two sat facing each other at the table, and Zheng Yuhe poured them each a cup of tea.

"Your Majesty, how did today go?"

Yi Xuan nodded: "He agreed immediately after I brought it up." For some reason, he felt a tightness in his chest.

Zheng Yuhe smiled knowingly: "That's good. After he leaves the capital, we can proceed with the next step of our plan."

The two talked for a long time that night, and when it was almost over, Yi Xuan said, "Let's call it a day."

Zheng Yuhe stood up: "Then, Your Majesty, good night?"

After Yi Xuan nodded, Zheng Yuhe went to the side hall, took off her clothes, and lay down on the bed, just like she had been doing for the past few days.

At first, she found it funny. How could someone be surrounded by beautiful women yet remain unmoved by temptation? But after so many days of only being summoned but not having sex with the male protagonist, she felt that what was written in the book might be true, and that the male protagonist really wanted to pursue love.

That's right, she is not Zheng Yuhe, or rather, not the original Zheng Yuhe; she is a transmigrator.

Three months ago, when the original owner first entered the palace, she arrived in this world. She was originally a surgeon from the 21st century, and what was slightly special about her was that she had a black belt in Taekwondo and was an extremely avid reader of novels.

That night, she had just finished reading "Late Autumn" when she woke up to find herself transmigrated into one of the cannon fodder characters, Zheng Yuhe, who shared the same name as him.

In the original novel, the female lead is the empress chosen by the villain Shi Qi for Yi Xuan. She is gentle and virtuous, but also intelligent and resourceful. In the end, she falls in love with the male lead, resolves the conflict between him and Shi Qi, and together with Yi Xuan, they rule a peaceful and prosperous era.

In contrast, Zheng Yuhe's fate was much more tragic. She entered the palace initially for revenge, and at first, she and Yixuan shared the same goal, working together to fight Shi Qi. However, they were later discovered by the female lead, Fu Yunwan.

Fu Yunwan secretly told Shi Qi about these things and directly presented her with the evidence from back then, causing her to lose her reason for revenge. As a result, she was quickly abandoned by the male lead and eventually died in the palace in depression.

But now that she has taken over this body, he will make Zheng Yuhe live her life to the fullest, so that Shi Qi and Fu Yunwan can never turn things around.

This idea became even stronger when she saw the handsome Yixuan; she wanted to win this man's heart and stand with him in that supreme position.

----

Back at the manor, Shi Qi finally understood the sense of poverty that the original owner remembered.

Who would have thought that the magnificent Regent's Palace was actually an empty shell without any luxury items?

Actually, the original owner wasn't really poor; it's just that he had served in the army for many years and didn't have much demand for material things. So he simply used part of it for military expenses and the other part to replenish the national treasury, which could be considered as repaying the kindness of his aunt and the founding emperor.

Only some unmovable imperial gifts remained piled up in the warehouse, thus creating the impression of a destitute household.

They headed straight for the warehouse. Although the original owner didn't care much about material things, he was quite clean, and the mansion was always kept clean, so the warehouse was relatively tidy.

Shi Qi stood in front of a shelf and moved the gold, silver and jade artifacts on one of the shelves to the sides.

"Host, what are you looking for?" 007 asked, puzzled.

Shi Qi did not answer directly, but instead pushed open a hidden compartment behind it, took out a box, and took out a piece of yellow cloth from it: "Imperial Edict."

"Imperial decree?"

"The imperial edict appointing the original owner as regent contained all the rights granted to him."

007 asked in surprise: "You're going to give it directly to the male lead? But isn't he trying to get back at you right now?"

"Don't worry, the chances of him accepting it are extremely small. First, he is wary of the military power I hold, and second, he has to consider the high-ranking ministers who support me. At worst, he might accept the imperial edict."

Even so, he wouldn't dare touch me, because I was the best candidate to lead the troops. Besides, he had no need to exterminate me; a loyal Shi Qi was far more valuable than a dead one.

The next morning, he got up and went to the morning court as usual.

He stood at the head of all officials, next to the current prime minister, who was also the father of the current empress Fu Yunwan. He was a rare and virtuous minister and had always been on good terms with the original owner of the body.

Before Yixuan arrived, Fu Jingzhi asked him in a low voice, "Your Highness, what was the purpose of His Majesty's summons to you yesterday?"

"Raise an army to attack the Southern Kingdom," Shi Qi replied without looking away.

Whispers were common throughout the hall, so no one noticed this side.

Fu Jingzhi frowned and shook his head slightly: "This matter is not appropriate... Who does His Majesty intend to send?"

"I have volunteered and will depart in thirty days."

Upon hearing this, Fu Jingzhi's eyes widened slightly: "The danger of this trip is still difficult to predict..."

"We both know his intention in summoning me. Besides, I am the only one capable of shouldering this important task."

This man, a veteran of three reigns in his forties, sighed repeatedly: "His Majesty... he is truly muddle-headed!"

"If one is in a position, one should fulfill one's duties. Since the monarch wishes for his minister to go, then the minister will not hesitate to do so."

Fu Jingzhi had befriended Shi Qi because of his loyalty and integrity, and now, upon hearing these words, he felt that Shi Qi's image had become much more admirable, so he cast a look of respect at Shi Qi.

"If Your Highness returns victorious this time, I will surely become your loyal follower..."

"His Majesty has arrived!" Fu'an's drawn-out voice rang out.

As the voice faded, Yixuan, dressed in heavy black and gold court robes and wearing a crown, steadily walked out from behind the screen.

After he took his seat, all the civil and military officials except Shi Qi knelt down: "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

Yi Xuan said solemnly, "All of you, rise."

After the ministers had risen, Yixuan continued, "Today, I have something to discuss with you all."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "I have decided to launch an attack on the Southern Kingdom, and I hereby appoint Regent Shi Qi to lead the army. What do you all think?"

Upon hearing this, the ministers in the hall began to discuss in hushed tones, and it was clear that most of them were opposed. They also knew that the chances of victory on this mission were greater than defeat, but it might come at the cost of sacrificing one of their men.

Just as Fu Jingzhi was about to step forward, Shi Qi stopped him.

Shi Qi shook his head at him, then stepped forward and said, "Your subject obeys the decree."

"Excellent! The Regent truly has great courage!"

"Yi Xuan's favorability +5, current favorability -15."
