She Holds the World After Being Reborn-Chapter 222: Big Brother Becomes the Empress, Struggling to Voice His Hardships

Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Big Brother Becomes the Empress, Struggling to Voice His Hardships

Yan Wanqing woke up with a hoarse throat that made it impossible to speak.

Strangely enough, she felt full of vitality, her meridians were incredibly unblocked, which made her feel like her martial strength had improved significantly.

"Thank you, young master, for your care. My sister has not yet woken up, and if she doesn’t wake later, I hope the young master can come to take a look... My sister and I have relied on each other for many years, it’s really..." Qin Wu’s slightly affected sobbing came from the doorway, causing Yan Wanqing’s brows to involuntarily furrow.

This tender and affectatious voice, the last time it came from Qin Wu’s lips, was in the woods behind the Southern Mountain Temple.

The target was Xiao Pingfeng, that guy.

Who is it this time?

Yan Wanqing propped herself up to move her limbs around.

Aside from a slight pain, she could move freely.

Compared to the pain she felt earlier, this was like an ant bite, hardly worth mentioning.

Hearing Qin Wu still squeezing her voice outside, Yan Wanqing walked to the door and "whoosh" opened it.

Qin Wu was quite startled, leaning slightly against the door, she suddenly fell into Yan Wanqing’s arms.

"You—you’re awake?" Qin Wu looked up to see Yan Wanqing looking down at her with a smile that was not quite a smile and quickly said.

Yan Wanqing nodded, "How long have I slept, and who were you talking to?"

She glanced over instinctively.

Yan Wanqing: "!!!"

It was her brother!

The man obviously recognized Yan Wanqing too, but his gaze was indifferent, as if it was their first meeting.

Their gazes intertwined in mid-air, and in the end, it was Yan Wanqing who first looked away.

She pretended everything was normal, smiling at Qin Wu and saying, "Sister, how long did I sleep this time?"

Qin Wu immediately jumped into the conversation, "Three days and three nights. If you hadn’t woken up, I really would have worried myself to death." She looked toward the young master: "Just now, I was discussing this matter with Master Li’an."

"Master Li’an?" Yan Wanqing raised an eyebrow at the man who looked exactly like her brother, even the mole on the tip of his nose was in the same place.

The man nodded, "Li’an," he said, giving his name.

Li’an.

Yan Li’an.

Trimming off the surname Yan.

"Nice name," Yan Wanqing said with a meaningful curl of her lips.

Qin Wu elbowed her and said, "It was Master Li’an who saved your life. You better thank him quickly. Without that elixir, you would probably be on your way to the underworld to ask Meng Po for soup."

"Elixir?" No wonder she felt so energized when she woke up this time.

Li’an didn’t feel the slightest pain about using the elixir, especially when he saw the girl standing lively before him.

This overwhelming sense of familiarity made his heart very comfortable.

It was as though the two had known each other and grown up together from a long time ago.

"It’s nothing, just an elixir. Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda," Li’an said word by word.

Yan Wanqing clasped her fists, and in the fashion of a jianghu daughter, she said, "I am deeply grateful for the young master’s life-saving grace. If the young master doesn’t mind, I will henceforth call you brother. If Big Brother has any need in the future, I shall not shirk the responsibility."

Seeing that Yan Wanqing didn’t mention the fact that he had previously injured her with a hidden weapon, Li’an also let out a sigh of relief in his heart.

"We’re both children of the jianghu. Since you have such a spirit, Miss, I have no problem acknowledging you as my sister," he said.

Hearing Li’an say this, Yan Wanqing happily exclaimed, "Brother!"

This address of ’brother’ made her nose tingle sharply, and Yan Wanqing tried hard to suppress the emotions welling up inside her chest.

Although she didn’t know why her brother had become like this, losing all memory of the Yan Family, the fact that he was still alive was the best news for the Yan Family, for their mother, and for them.

She would uncover the truth about this matter one day.

After returning to the room, Qin Wu sized up Yan Wanqing with a strange expression on her face.

Yan Wanqing knew that without Qin Wu, she definitely wouldn’t have been able to walk out of the wilderness alive. Besides, Qin Wu had an open and straightforward nature, aside from being a bit twisted around men, she was pretty good normally.

So she smiled and said, "Why does King Qin look at me that way?"

"Yan Wanqing, there is something off about you," Qin Wu sat down next to her, narrowing her eyes and said, "Tell me the truth, do you fancy Li’an?"

Fancy Li’an?

Yan Wanqing was so startled by her words that she choked on her saliva, coughing violently before she could catch her breath.

Qin Wu thought she had hit the nail on the head.

"You do have a marriage promise, Master Li’an isn’t suitable for you."

"Of course he isn’t suitable for me!" Yan Wanqing said loudly, "Didn’t I just recognize him as my brother?"

"Really?" Qin Wu looked at her skeptically.

Yan Wanqing rolled her eyes: "Naturally, as you said, I have a marriage promise. If the King casts his eyes on Master Li’an, rest assured, my feelings for him are nothing more than that of siblings."

"That would certainly be for the best." Qin Wu snorted coldly, "I plan to take him back to the Qin State to be the Empress."

Yan Wanqing: "Impossible! How could my brother become your Empress? What kind of joke is that?"

Qin Wu paused, "Why are you reacting so strongly? You just acknowledged him as your brother; he isn’t even your blood brother."

Yan Wanqing was so angry she felt breathless, unable to vent her frustration.

That Yan Li’an was her blood brother!

Her brother from the same mother!

It was just that he had lost his memory now, and she had no way to acknowledge him yet.

These were things Yan Wanqing couldn’t explain to Qin Wu, so she could only dryly say, "Any normal man wouldn’t dream of being your Empress. The Imperial Court is unstable, and troubled times are upon us. What man wouldn’t want to achieve great deeds and make a name for himself?"

"You are not Master Li’an; how do you know he doesn’t want to be my Empress?" Qin Wu huffed lightly, "I saved you, and you should repay the favor. Use your sibling relationship to help me well. If you can’t make it in Dawei, you are welcome to come to the Qin State."

Yan Wanqing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at this argument, following the topic, she said, "I’m already the Great Marshal in Dawei, if I went to the Qin State, what position could the King offer me?"

"How about Prime Minister?" Qin Wu offered, as she had long since found the old hack unbearable.

If Yan Wanqing became the Prime Minister of her Qin State, then within ten years, the Qin State would be able to unite the Six Kingdoms.

Yan Wanqing saw that she was serious, not at all as if she were joking.

"Alright, if I truly can’t make it anymore, Wanqing will definitely come to seek refuge with the King," Yan Wanqing said, her eyes burning as she looked at Qin Wu.

Qin Wu didn’t expect to gain so much from this trip out.

She had found a candidate for the Empress and forged a good relationship with Yan Wanqing.

"That aside, there has always been something I’ve wanted to ask you," Qin Wu said mysteriously, moving closer to Yan Wanqing.

Yan Wanqing was inspecting the wound on her shoulder in the mirror, talking absently, "Speak freely, Your Majesty."

"Do you remember the banquet at Southern Mountain Temple? Afterwards, did you hear anything about the Crown Prince and some girl... you know..." Qin Wu spoke very subtly, motioning with two thumbs.

Yan Wanqing raised an eyebrow, mimicking with her thumb, "Which one?"

"That one!" Qin Wu’s face turned red, "You know, that kind of thing between men and women!"

"The banquet at Southern Mountain Temple?" Yan Wanqing subconsciously thought Qin Wu was concerned about Xiao Pingfeng, so she asked her, as it was normal for a woman to care about her ex’s news, not to the point of obsession, but a natural inclination to enjoy some gossip.

"No," Yan Wanqing lied without blushing.

The night of absurdity between the Crown Prince and her at the banquet at Southern Mountain Temple was something Yan Wanqing was too embarrassed to speak of.

Qin Wu clicked her tongue twice. freёnovelkiss.com

"That doesn’t make sense, with such strong wine, how did he deal with it without a woman?"

Yan Wanqing: "???"

So the wine last time was prepared by Qin Wu for Xiao Pingfeng, and she ended up being the unlucky one.

Qin Wu muttered to herself, and she wasn’t afraid of being heard by Yan Wanqing since by now she was the King of Qin State. So much time had passed since then, all evidence was gone, so even if she talked about it, considering their current relationship, Yan Wanqing wouldn’t spread rumors.

Yan Wanqing turned away from her, her face in the mirror resembling a palette, it took a long time for her to regain her composure.

It was all fate.

That night at Southern Mountain Temple, she outsmarted everyone, it wasn’t surprising that she was outsmarted by someone else.

Even without that pot of wine, there would be other ties between her and Xiao Pingfeng.

Thinking this, she felt fortunate again that the person that night had been him.

"Miss, something’s wrong, there’s a fight outside," Aman’s voice, filled with excitement at the spectacle, came in from the door.

Yan Wanqing quickly dressed, and by this time Qin Wu had already reached the door.

Aman pointed outside, his face animated with excitement.

"A group of people have started fighting outside! It’s kicked off, hahaha!"
