A kiss, and I'll live another day; they begged me not to go crazy.

"Sigh~"

Before anyone could react, Su Aige had already dodged the other person and raised her hand to remove the veil from her face.

Facing the shocked gazes of everyone, he spoke loudly:

"The person you are talking about is probably me."

......

Just then, Wang Er, who had been running all the way, arrived right next to Su Aige.

He remained in the same position, trying to stop Su Aige from removing her veil, his voice pleading:

"do not want!"

Tears welled up in his eyes like a burst dam, streaming down his cheeks.

......

At this moment, Wang Er completely ignored the surprised looks from the people around him.

He reached out and tightly grasped the corner of the veil that Su Aige was holding in her hand.

Facing the crowd, his smile was more painful than tears as he tried to persuade them.

His voice trembled, choked with sobs, as he tried to explain to the crowd:

"This is Lord Su's sister!"

After saying that, she wanted to put the veil back on Su Aige's face.

......

however,

Many people in the crowd had already noticed that Su Aige's face was extremely similar to that of Su Baihu.

They started whispering among themselves.

......

Looking at the scene before him, Wang Er felt extremely remorseful.

He now finds his previous smug plan utterly foolish.

He never expected this.

Su Aige was actually willing to sacrifice so much for Guo Si, even to the point of going to such lengths.

So, what role do I actually play?

What did all those actions I took mean?

......

Wang Er silently shed tears.

He tried desperately to put the veil on Su Aige's face, but Su Aige did not let him succeed.

She slightly turned her head and winked at Xiao Wu, who was following closely behind.

......

Xiao Wu understood immediately and stepped forward, firmly holding Wang Er's hand.

Despite his desperate struggle, Wang Er was ultimately unable to get any closer to Su Aige.

Finally, like a deflated balloon, his legs went weak.

He slumped down on the cold ground, covered his face with his hands, and burst into tears.

The cries were shrill and mournful, as if it were an outpouring of all the pain and regret in its heart.

......

Su Aige actually revealed her identity!

In an instant, everyone's attention shifted away from Guo Si.

After all, compared to the commonplace question of whether a man has ever entered a brothel,

The fact that the adult everyone knows is actually a woman makes this event even more shocking.

......

And so, the vortex that originally surrounded Guo Si...

After Su Aige revealed her identity, the whole thing ended abruptly, like a farce.

Public opinion in Beijing shifted towards Su Aige like a whirlwind.

People began to discuss whether it was reasonable for a woman to be able to enter the imperial court as an official.

And how the Emperor will deal with her crime of deceiving the Emperor.

......

Su Aige waited quietly.

She knew that her fate was now entirely in the emperor's hands.

But to her surprise, as the days went by...

The emperor seemed completely unaware of the matter and continued to attend court and govern as usual.

Even if someone occasionally mentioned this matter in the court, the emperor always ignored it.

......

Perhaps it was precisely because of the emperor's ambiguous attitude that

This unexpectedly gave Su Aige a rare period of peace and quiet in the following days.

......

Just as she was beginning to relax, Sun Shan unexpectedly came to visit her.

Unlike the indifferent attitude of others, Sun Shan did not distance himself from Su Aige.

He casually brought some weapons, intending to share them with her.

Seeing Sun Shan's sincerity and friendliness, Su Aige felt a warm current welling up in her heart.

......

Sun Shan excitedly showed Su Aige the weapon he had meticulously crafted according to the blueprints she had provided.

Those brand-new, incredibly sharp weapons gleamed with a chilling light in the sunlight.

Sun Shan spoke at length about the various difficulties he encountered in making these weapons, and the joy he felt after finally overcoming them.

......

However, just as he was speaking with great enthusiasm,

Suddenly, as if noticing something, his gaze fell directly on Su Aige.

He had seen Su Aige dressed as a woman before, so he wasn't very surprised.

They were so focused on introducing their weapons that they inexplicably overlooked this matter.

Sun Shan was taken aback at first, then stammered:

"Su...Little Brother Su, oh no, Su..."

......

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Su Aige's silvery laughter.

"Pfft—you're so cute, Brother Sun!"

Su Aige laughed so hard she almost fell over, her eyes filled with affection for Sun Shan's innocence and straightforwardness.

......

Sun Shan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Su Aige treated him the same as usual.

He scratched his head a little embarrassedly, but quickly returned to normal.

He asked with concern:

"Miss Su, are you sure you're alright coming out looking like this?"

......

Su Aige smiled and shook her head, indicating that it was alright, and told him:

"I'm fine, don't worry."

His Majesty promised to bestow upon me an imperial sword, which would protect my family once.

Hearing this, Sun Shan finally felt relieved.

......

After chatting for a few more minutes, Sun Shan got up, said goodbye to Su Aige, and left.

Watching Sun Shan's receding figure, Su Aige felt a warmth rise in her heart.

This simple and honest man always gave her a sense of inexplicable peace of mind.

......

He waited and waited, but the emperor never summoned him to the palace.

Being suspended like that is very unpleasant.

Su Aige decided to take the initiative to go to the palace to meet the emperor and have a proper talk with him.

......

When Su Aige stepped into the Imperial Study

The emperor was sitting upright on the dragon throne, waiting for her arrival.

......

The emperor smiled slightly: "You've arrived."

Su Aige bowed slightly and replied, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

"My dear minister, what brings you here today?"

Su Aige took a deep breath. "Does Your Majesty intend to punish me?"

The emperor countered, "What crime have you committed, my dear minister?"

Su Aige's eyes widened: "Naturally, it's because of my female identity."

The emperor was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head to look at Su Aige and said calmly, "What would you like me to say, my dear minister?"

Su Aige was speechless for a moment, unsure how to respond.

......

At this moment, the emperor suddenly burst into laughter, saying as he laughed:

"Haha, with your talent, ability, and the treasures you possess, what does it matter if you are a woman?"

Seeing the surprised look in Su Aige's eyes,

The emperor's tone carried a hint of "you underestimate me":

"The rewards that women could receive were limited."

Even if I were to make you the queen of a kingdom, I fear I would still be doing you a disservice!

Although the emperor seemed to be joking,

But a subtle, earnest look was revealed in those deep eyes.
