Chapter 1
I am the only female general of the dynasty.
In the battle between the two armies, he killed a traitor who colluded with the enemy, causing him to commit murder.
The noble consort, in order to seek personal revenge, secretly framed me through a palace banquet and falsely accused me of attempting to seduce the emperor.
Emperor Longyan was furious and had someone pick and break my wrist and ankle on the spot.
"Since General Xie wants to climb a man's bed so much, let her act as an official prostitute and taste the taste of serving a man well!"
He ordered someone to throw me into the Wen Yi Tower, making it impossible for me to redeem myself in this lifetime.
After three years of peaceful prosperity, the enemy launched a massive attack and the border was lost, and they were about to break into the imperial city.
The emperor was completely panicked. He personally visited the Wen Yi Tower and begged me to go to war for the country.
I knelt in front of the emperor, neither humble nor arrogant, shaking my soft and weak hands.
"Emperor, please forgive me. I am already a useless person, unable to hold my sword or kill the enemy."
When the emperor arrived at the Wen Yi Tower, I was struggling to use my arms to wait on the official Zhang to dress.
He thought I was clumsy and slapped me in the face.
"Get out of here, it's so slow!"
"How much less fun is a useless person who can't even use their hands normally?"
Intense pain emanates from the body, and it is unclear where the pain is, but one should still force a smile.
This is the third year I have been assigned to become an official prostitute.
One fat headed and big eared official after another, calling on me to serve.
They came and went, and when they heard the mother of Yilou carrying heavy silver, she couldn't help but smile.
And I have become numb.
The official prostitutes of this dynasty cannot redeem themselves for a lifetime.
All the silver earned must be handed over to the imperial court and belong to the emperor's treasury.
The emperor said, this is a punishment for my delusions.
When the emperor came to see me, everyone fell to their knees.
"Where's General Xie?"
I knelt down on the ground like everyone else.
As soon as the emperor spoke this, the eunuchs and imperial guards behind him dragged me to the front.
I kept my head down, my forehead rubbing against the cold floor.
"I respectfully welcome the Holy Spirit."
The sound was extremely unfamiliar and hoarse, even I was startled.
The emperor paused slightly, his gaze fixed on me.
The surroundings were as cold as ice, with the majesty of a gentleman subduing corpses for thousands of miles in anger.
"Xie Qing'an, do you know the sin?"
"The servant is guilty."
I didn't hesitate to tell lies, even though I never felt guilty in my heart.
In the past three years at Wen Yilou, I have witnessed the faces and methods of officials of all sizes.
They have strategic guidance and know how to handle a woman.
The skin on my face is intact, but my clothes have peeled off and all the new skin has grown from scars and scabs.
Some officials like to have skin that looks like a child, whipping them hard until they are covered in scales, old skin scabs, and new pink, white, and soft flesh grows.
These three years have been unbearable for me.
All are bestowed by the emperor.
Since he asked me if I was guilty, how could I not know?
A cold snort overflowed from the corner of the emperor's mouth, and the dignity and coldness on his face eased.
"Since you have already realized your mistake and repented, the punishment ends here. You can become the female general of Zhenbei again."
I lowered my head and remained silent.
Wen Yilou was completely silent.
The eunuch next to the emperor was very clever and asked everyone to step down.
When there was only the emperor and me left in the room, he leisurely sat down and calmly opened his mouth.
"Xie Qing'an, your Xie family is full of loyalty and martyrdom. Although you are a woman, you defend your family and country, surpassing countless men."
After a pause, the emperor spoke again,
"Now that the border is urgent and there is no one available in the court, I will remember your loyalty and come back to fight!"
I listened quietly, with a cold smile in my heart.
No wonder the punishment has ended.
It turned out to be useful to me now.
I knelt down in front of the emperor, neither humble nor overbearing, shaking my limp and powerless hands that had already been discarded.
"Emperor, please forgive me."
"I am already a useless person, and now I can no longer afford to wield a sword or kill enemies."
As soon as I finished speaking, the emperor's face instantly changed.
fly.
I don't know if it was my words or attitude that angered him. The emperor brushed his sleeves and flipped over the tea cup on the table.
"Bold!"
Hot tea and broken porcelain splashed onto my face, and the scorching pain hit. I couldn't help but close my eyes.
"Three years ago, you deliberately seduced me and had inappropriate thoughts. Now that you refuse to go to battle, you are deliberately seeking revenge on me, right?"
I remained silent.
The painful location is scorching and scorching, with even heat flowing down the cheeks.
Since being falsely accused three years ago, I should know that being a companion is like a tiger.
As an official prostitute, one cannot redeem oneself, let alone commit suicide.
If it weren't for the fear of involving my sister Qinghuan, I would have wanted to die in the first year.
It's just right to provoke the emperor.
If he kills me in a fit of anger, that would be even better.
I silently await the emperor's death.
But after a long silence, he suddenly crouched down and softened his tone.
"Qing'an, I know you love me."
"I promise you that if you can achieve a complete victory this time, I will crown you as a noble consort."
Chapter 2
I tried my best to suppress nausea.
He thought it was a privilege to bestow upon me the title of noble consort.
He thought I admired him.
But I never knew that none of these were what I wanted.
I have been fighting with my father since I was young and grew up in the military camp. I don't know any of the piano, chess, calligraphy, or painting that my daughter knows at home.
When they reached age, their hearts were filled with desire. When they only wanted to choose a successful husband, what I was thinking was how to take off the leader's head in the shortest possible time.
My father died in the war for the country, and although I am a daughter, I have inherited his will.
I only want to protect my home and country.
Three years ago, I killed Liu Quan, who colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. He was my deputy general, and because of his actions alone, thousands of soldiers and brothers were killed in vain.
Unexpectedly, Liu Quan had another identity, which was the cousin of Yang Guifei today.
She invited me into the palace in the name of a palace banquet on the second day of my triumph to seek personal revenge, but poisoned the tea that was rewarded to me.
When I opened my eyes, I found myself lying disheveled in the emperor's palace.
The room was filled with people.
Everyone accused me of being shameless and using my military achievements to seduce the emperor.
What did the emperor say at that time?
A hint of disgust and disgust flashed in his eyes. "Xie Qing'an, I value you as the female general of Zhenbei. I didn't expect you to have such a filthy mind."
"Since you want to climb a man's bed so much, let someone come and match Xie Qing'an with Wen Yilou and act as an official prostitute. Let her taste the taste of serving a man well!"
Three years ago, that face slowly overlapped with the emperor in front of me.
He still held himself high, commanding me with the gift of charity,
"Xie Qing'an, as long as you are willing to listen to me, the three years of Wen Yilou can be considered as not having happened, and no one will mention it again."
I looked up with a sneer.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten?" he said, bringing his discarded hands closer
"Three years ago, you personally ordered me to break my bones and muscles."
"The maidservants have become useless, and all of this is bestowed by the emperor."
The emperor furrowed his brow, and anger was brewing again.
And I have already lowered my head.
"Now there is only the bright moon on Wen Yilou, and no more female general Xie Qing'an from Zhenbei."
"Is that right?"
The emperor looked down at me from a high position and said, "Someone, bring Xie Qing'an back to the palace and ask the imperial physician to personally treat him."
Without me struggling to question, the imperial army surrounded me.
They stuffed me into the carriage and accompanied me back to the palace with the emperor's carriage, which was a private visit in humble attire.
Countless imperial physicians continue to flock.
They have excellent medical skills and say they can help me reattach the broken muscles and bones.
It's just that it's been broken for three years, and the bones and flesh have grown. If you want to reconnect it, you must break the bone again in order to be able to connect it.
My face turned pale.
The emperor was very satisfied and said, "All the imperial physicians are highly rewarded!"
He personally took a handkerchief and helped me wipe off the cold sweat on my forehead.
"Qing'an, you have been recuperating well in the palace these days. When will you recover and go to battle?"
After he left, he sent someone to reward him with many supplements.
Restored the title of the female general in the north of my town.
Let everyone show me utmost respect.
But my heart is extremely cold.
No one cares how painful it is to break a muscle or bone.
Breaking the bone and reconnecting it, how painful it will be, no one cares.
The emperor only cares if I can become a qualified knife and go to the battlefield to kill enemies for him.
But I am also human.
When the imperial physician asked the imperial army to break my hand bone again, the emperor specifically asked someone to move a chair and sit beside me to watch.
I knelt on the ground and begged the emperor, "Don't... Your Majesty, can you spare me?"
Don't be afraid. Qing'an——
"You are a female general, and you have suffered more injuries on the battlefield than this. Would you still be afraid of the mere pain of a broken bone?"
The emperor smiled and pushed me to the side of the imperial guards, handing him the stick with his own hands.
My hand was heavily pressed there, and a stick spilled blood.
I gritted my teeth.
I fainted from the pain.
Chapter 3
When I opened my eyes again and woke up, my arms were wrapped in thick white cloth and couldn't move at all.
Intense pain struck, seeming to be even more painful than before.
And there is also an itching and pain sensation of being bitten by thousands of insects.
I was puzzled and just wanted the palace maid next to me to help me open the white cloth and take a look.
The sound of eunuchs announcing outside.
"Your Majesty, here you are!"
Upon hearing this loud spread, I froze in place.
Yang Guifei walked proudly in, holding back all palace maids and eunuchs, leaving only her personal attendants.
"Xie Qing'an, haven't seen you for three years. How does it feel to be an official prostitute?"
My face turned pale and I gritted my teeth.
She sneered, "In the past three years, my palace has entrusted people to take care of you. The cartilage powder and seductive medicine you take every month have cost me a lot of silver."
My gaze gradually caught a chill.
i see.
In the past three years in Wenyi Building, my sisters and I are also official prostitutes, but we have suffered countless more than them.
At first, I thought it was a special explanation from the emperor, but I didn't expect that the culprit was Yang Guifei.
I remained silent.
The palace maid next to Yang Guifei was proud and gave me a slap.
"The Empress Dowager is talking to you, don't you have long ears?"
I got out of bed calmly and knelt on the ground.
"Thank you very much for your care, Empress Dowager."
"If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely -"
I looked up at her and said, "I will repay my mother's kindness with all my might."
Yang Guifei's gaze towards me was filled with resentment and contempt.
"Your arm must be like being bitten by a million insects now, right?"
"I have already bribed the imperial physician to poison you in the medicine," she said with a malicious smile on her lips
"In two months' time, if you can't help Your Majesty win this battle, you will rot and die."
I looked at her coldly.
Three years ago, in the design and framing, I realized after being hit that it was Yang Guifei's work.
But I have no evidence.
But it doesn't mean that this matter has just passed.
My eyes met those of Yang Guifei, and for a long time, I smiled.
"Thank you very much, Empress Dowager."
"Servant, I will definitely not disappoint the noble consort."
In the following half month, the emperor and Yang Guifei sent people to visit me every day.
My hand slowly recovered from the intense pain.
But the itching and pain are unbearable.
The emperor came to see me, and I had the palace maids around me cooperate and perform a great performance.
When the emperor arrived, he happened to see the arm of the white cloth being opened, and the wound had already turned black.
Clearly poisoned.
The emperor was shocked and frowned, asking me,
"Xie Qing'an, what tricks are you playing again?"
I knelt on the ground, stuttering and speaking,
"Your Majesty, it's the Empress Dowager who..."
"She said she wouldn't let the maids share the emperor's worries, so she bribed the imperial physician to poison the medicine and wanted me to die in a big battle."
I pretended to be delicate and pitiful, tears streaming out of my eyes.
"Your Majesty, I cannot die as I used to, but if my death leads to defeat, what will Your Majesty's country do?"
On that day, the emperor's face was very ugly and he flew away with anger.
I heard that that night, Yang Guifei lost her favor.
Being confined to one's own palace.
Half a month later, my hands recovered.
On the day before her upcoming expedition, Yang Guifei used some means to have the emperor lift her foot ban.
Her eyes were filled with hatred, looking at me with resentment.
"Xie Qing'an, when you return from your defeat, it will be the day when our palace will shatter your body into pieces."
I put on the general's armor and gave her an eyebrow and a smile.
Don't worry, this is just the beginning.
