Chapter 1239: Chapter 1239 Extra: Qin Ruan, You’re Killing Me Deep Inside!

Su Jingshu had hardly finished speaking when the memories of her past fainting spell returned, and her exquisite face took on a cracked expression.

Damn it!

This was her man in this era!

But she couldn’t call him her husband, for she was just one of his concubines, and among the numerous concubines, she was the most senior.

The man walked to the bedside and gazed at Su Jingshu with a lonely and proud look in his eyes, asking in a distant, deep voice, "Has the Noble Consort had a hysterical episode?"

You’re the hysterical one!

Your whole family is hysterical!

Su Jingshu, considering the male-dominant society, and damn it, the ancient times where imperial power overshadowed everything, reigned in the aura befitting of her status as a Family Head.

According to the memories she received, she wanted to act gentler but was presented with an affectatious scene.

Su Jingshu swallowed, thinking to herself that she really couldn’t deal with this!

Her tone was just as distant, tinged with a hint of perfunctory, "Your Majesty, pardon my sins, I was momentarily confused, and the effects haven’t worn off yet."

She didn’t act like she usually did, crying and begging to serve his bed. Instead, her attitude was cold and detached, as though she had become a completely different person.

The Emperor of Daqian, Xiao Jun’an, exuded a sharp yet restrained aura.

He stood by the bed, his cool gaze piercing Su Jingshu, his eyes dark and inscrutable, flashing with a thick intent to kill.

The State Preceptor had recently mentioned that many evil spirits had appeared in Capital City, but the Palace was situated on the Dragon Vein and was protected by dragon energy, which prevented evil spirits from entering.

However, as he observed the Noble Consort’s words, actions, and attitude towards him, it was clear she was no longer the same arrogant daughter of the General Residence.

Su Jingshu’s decades of experience as a Family Head meant she could not fail to detect the killing intent emitted by the man before her.

She also knew that the previous Noble Consort was "devoted" to the Emperor of Daqian, dreaming of securing a dragon heir to ascend as Empress.

She wondered if the original Noble Consort had gone to the Underworld.

And this body should be her own.

When it came to her own belongings, even her breath, Su Jingshu was never mistaken.

Xiao Jun’an abruptly asked, "What is the Noble Consort thinking?"

Su Jingshu blurted out, "I was thinking of the beautiful An, wondering if she was frightened."

What she was really thinking about was her own body and that accursed foe who had turned into a eunuch.

How could she accept that Nangong Chang had become a eunuch?

Qin Ruan, do you know what it means to kill a person and break their heart?

Su Jingshu’s face twisted with emotion, wishing she could rush back to the Underworld and shake Qin Ruan’s shoulders, demanding an explanation.

Xiao Jun’an caught every flicker of her expression, mistaking that the Noble Consort had reverted to her original temper and character, still harboring discontent towards the beautiful An.

It was important to remember that the State Preceptor’s chosen beauty was originally intended to be elevated as Empress.

When General Su learned of this while on the frontlines, he immediately sent an urgent report to stop it.

The essence of his message was a plea for the Emperor not to hurt his daughter’s heart, asserting that even the war on the frontlines was disturbed by the concern.

General Su all but declared outright that if His Majesty dared to make someone else Empress, he would lay down his command and quit!

Civil and military officials alike were quite contentious about an unknown woman becoming Empress, but eventually, the girl found by the State Preceptor from who-knows-where was made a fifth-rank beauty to put the matter to rest.

The look in Xiao Jun’an’s eyes grew slightly colder as he casually spoke with a hand behind his back, rubbing it gently, "Tonight, I will rest in the Noble Consort’s palace."

"No!" Su Jingshu immediately refused, her face a mixture of rejection and fear.

In her past life, after Nangong Chang’s death, she lived alone till old age.

Decades had passed, and she had long been free of desire.

Even if the man before her was extraordinarily handsome, and the most distinguished man of this era, she had no intention of sleeping with him.

Not to mention this man also belonged to Little Princess Huo; she dared not reach out her hand to him.

Besides, her male pet had also arrived.
