Plan A
The Days and Nights of the Courtesan 10
Embrace
Fourteen helplessly faced the host, who often overreacted. It could only comfort Su Xin with kisses, hugs, and lifting her up.
【Host, don’t worry. Even if you’re ugly, it’s okay. You’ll be even uglier in the future. Keep it up!】
Su Xin felt that only a fool would choose to play this game with a system that had no sense of drama.
The doctor was urgently called over again. Qu Feiqing’s minor injuries were not too serious and could be easily treated.
“Still crying? I’m already fine.”
Qu Feiqing looked at Su Xin, whose tears were still falling and whose eyes were wet, feeling like she was a pitiful big dog.
“I… I… can’t control it.”
Su Xin wiped her tears, then felt like her eyes were faucets, gushing and unable to stop.
Master Fourteen, what’s going on? Are these tears not something that can be controlled at will?
【Ah…didn’t I mention that?】
Master Fourteen looked innocent.
Did you say it?
【Oh…then I didn’t say it, but now the host knows anyway.】
How can I stop?
【Crying enough will do, the effect varies from person to person.】
Fourteen said calmly.
woc? This is so unreliable?
(LP: “woc” is an abbreviation for a Chinese slang expression “wo cao”, which is similar to “damn” or “what the hell”.)
Su Xin could only endure the urge to cry, trying hard to restrain herself from weeping.
Qu Feiqing handed a handkerchief to Su Xin, who took it and wiped her eyes. The uncontrollable feeling of continuous tears finally stopped.
“We’ll rest here for a few days. Once you’re able to travel, we’ll leave.”
Qu Feiqing looked at Su Xin’s arm exposed outside the quilt, where it was wrapped in cloth strips, looking rather miserable.
Qu Feiqing walked out, and Shujuan quickly walked in, looking at Su Xin with concern.
“Miss, are you alright?”
“I’m fine, don’t worry.”
As soon as Su Xin finished speaking, a roar was heard from outside.
That was a scream of extreme pain, making anyone who heard it feel a chill down their spine. Qu Feiqing was killing a chicken to warn the monkeys.
Qu Feiqing withdrew her blood-stained hand and casually wiped her fingers, looking at the person on the ground who was on the brink of death. When that person attempted to end his own life, she immediately dislocated the person’s jaw.

“You should be aware of the consequences of betraying me. Do you think you can end your life easily?”
Qu Feiqing was smiling, but it revealed a chilling aura.
Qu Feiqing walked back to her room, raised her arm lightly, and left the matters below to her subordinates to handle.
She didn’t quite understand. That person had followed her for three years, showing unwavering loyalty, yet chose this moment to stab her in the back.
She never showed mercy when dealing with betrayal. Her subordinates were all aware of her methods, making this behavior of seeking death puzzling.
When the person reappeared in front of Qu Feiqing, it could no longer be called a human. That person was covered in blood and filth, looking on the verge of death, as if about to take their last breath.
“Speak, why did you betray me?”
“Brutal ruler, defying the heavens, violating human ethics, worthy of being executed by everyone.”
Spoken with grandiosity, Qu Feiqing sneered coldly, and the people beside her, upon receiving her signal, ended the person’s life.
Such a ridiculous reason again, Qu Feiqing thought.
Those people, what’s wrong with a woman becoming an emperor, are women not human?
They just couldn’t compete with her, mere defeated opponents.
Who stipulated that women must be virtuous and gentle, and who stipulated that defending the country is solely a man’s duty?
Qu Feiqing believed that every single thing she did for the people, and every decree she issued, was beneficial to the people, and she had a clear conscience.
But even so, many people were still dissatisfied because she was a woman.
While eating, Qu Feiqing wandered off to Su Xin’s room again and saw Shujuan feeding Su Xin.
“Miss, don’t move around, eat properly.”
Shujuan felt very helpless towards the injured yet still restless Su Xin.
The Miss’s temperament has become more lively, it was never like this before, always melancholically embroidering and reciting poetry by the bedside, but now actually wielding swords and spears.
“Greetings, Your Majesty.”
Su Xin, lying on the bed, saluted with her mouth, Shujuan put down the bowl in her hand and performed a salute towards Qu Feiqing.
Qu Feiqing lifted her chin to indicate her to continue, while she herself fixedly watched Su Xin take small bites of her meal.
There was nothing interesting, but watching Su Xin was somewhat interesting.
A few days later, Su Xin mostly recovered, was supported onto the carriage, the carriage headed towards the capital of Quliu Kingdom.
Su Xin’s treatment was a bit different, at least the place she lay down was much more comfortable than before.
“Your Majesty… in what way should I enter the palace?”
As a maid?
Su Xin felt she might not be very suitable.
“Guqin player.”

Qu Fei glanced lightly at Su Xin’s hand, said lightly.
Su Xin nodded, the carriage quieted down.
After a while, Su Xin wailed inwardly, ah ah ah so boring, before she could sit alone for a whole day, provided she had TV series, computer, mobile phone, and books, now there was nothing, just sitting there dryly, bored to death.
She used to be accustomed to being alone, but when Qiu Qingqing forcefully reappeared in her life, occupying her personal space, she started to get used to having someone accompany her, began to fear boredom.
“What is wrong with you?”
Qu Feiqing, unusually sensitive to emotions, looked at Su Xin who was lying down but with a sullen face.
“Isn’t Your Majesty bored?”
Su Xin said with slight melancholy.
Bored, how could she not be bored.
Qu Feiqing’s life is even boring, repeatedly seeing some people, appearing in some fixed places, looking at the same scenery, no one around to accompany, lonely and boring.
“Does Your Majesty have an interest in telling stories?”
“Those who dare to talk to the lonely one like this, have long gone to see the King of Hell.”
“I’m not afraid.”
Su Xin became spirited, with great interest.
Qu Feiqing glanced at her lightly and closed her eyes.
The carriage traveled for half a month and arrived at the palace of the Quliu Kingdom. Su Xin was surrounded and watched by a group of people.
Qu Feiqing briefly explained her identity and where she would be staying, then threw herself into busyness.
Su Xin was not neglected and was well taken care of, but then she grew moldy in the palace.
Qu Feiqing’s side was exceptionally clean, without a single male concubine in the harem. However, it was to be expected; how could someone as proud as Qu Feiqing easily allow others to touch her, let alone do something more intimate and then have children. Just thinking about it was disgusting.
Master Fourteen, am I really going to grow mold?
Su Xin howled in front of Fourteen; she hadn’t seen Qu Feiqing for ten days, a full ten days.
Qu Feiqing was so busy that she didn’t show up, as if she had completely forgotten about her.
In the evening, Su Xin received a tip from Fourteen.
【Host, friendly reminder, the key person of the mission is drowning her sorrows with alcohol in some corner, hurry and pick up the scraps.】
What the heck is picking up scraps?
Su Xin didn’t disturb anyone and quietly went out.
Under the guidance of Fourteen’s GPS, she walked through winding paths to a rather secluded place and smelled a whiff of alcohol.
It looked like this place was a Cold Palace. Su Xin walked in and saw Qu Feiqing sitting on the ground of the palace, surrounded by scattered wine jars. Qu Feiqing was pouring alcohol into her own mouth, expressionless.
Qu Feiqing raised her head and saw Su Xin standing at the door, her expression sinister.
“How did you find this place?”
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
“Just wandering around, do you believe that?”
“Get out.”
Qu Feiqing now resembled an irritable lion, emanating a dangerous aura, as if she could pounce on her prey at any moment, knocking it down and tearing it apart.
Not only did Su Xin not leave, but she also got closer and closer.
“I told you to get out.”
Qu Feiqing was already so irritated that she didn’t even bother with formalities.
The next moment, she was tightly embraced by warmth.
