Chapter 1171: All The Careerists (1)
#Headline of Careerists: Jing Se Decides To Be The Pillar Of The Country Whenever She Wants To#
“Lady, have some rest first. You had a long trip.”
Ming Shu laid on the bed. A handsome-looking young woman stood in front of her.
“Lady, you’re injured. Do you need me to apply medicine for you?”
Ming Shu touched her aching shoulder. “No need for now.”
The woman seemed worried. “Her Majesty is really taking actions against you now.”
Ming Shu didn’t understand anything. She raised her hand and stopped the woman. “Go back first.”
The woman stopped talking. She cupped her hands and bowed. “I will organize other people first.”
Ming Shu nodded slightly. She didn’t know what was happening anyway.
“I will take my leave.”
The door opened and closed. Ming Shu sat up. She took off her clothes and saw the bandage on her shoulder. There was some blood on it.
… I feel a little hungry.
Ming Shu redeemed some snacks from the Harmony System. After finishing her food, she started downloading the storyline.
Food is the most important thing!
…
The fake female protagonist was called Shen Yu. She was reborn.
This was a country where women were noble. Shen Yu was the heir of the country. She should be the one taking over the throne. However, the person who became the empress, in the end, was Princess Four, who was the female protagonist.
Shen Yu did everything to get the throne and the female protagonist’s husband, the male protagonist. She lost everything because of it. When she rebelled, she was killed by the female protagonist.
Then, she was reborn.
After she was reborn, she became vicious. She killed the current empress and took over the throne. She chased after the female protagonist and locked up the male protagonist.
Besides this, she also killed all the ministers that went against her.
The Host was called Jing Se. She was the prime minister of the country. She was the empress’s supporter and was loyal to the royal family.
However…
The late empress died mysteriously. The Host suspected Shen Yu, although she had the imperial decree.
Hence, the Host accepted Shen Yu’s invitation to join her faction so that she could investigate Shen Yu behind her back.
Somehow, Shen Yu found out that the Host was investigating her. She tried to warn the Host but the Host rejected her. Thus, she started to take back the Host’s power.
As the grudges between the empress and the Host deepened, the minsters started to split into different factions too.
At this moment, other countries attacked them. Shen Yu asked the Host to lead the army. As a prime minister, the Host had no experience on the battlefield.
It was obvious what Shen Yu wanted to do.
She wanted to kill the Host.
However, as the empress, the Host must listen to her.
When she reached the border of the country where the war was happening, the Host got caught by the enemy. She went through many hardships and dodged many assassinations in order to survive.
In the end, she won the war. But, when she went back, she was framed for treason.
The Host never expected Shen Yu to be so vicious.
She was locked up in jail. Shen Yu didn’t bother to hide her true intentions and immediately asked someone to send her poisoned wine.
One of the Host’s trusted subordinates changed the wine. When the Host drunk it, she stopped breathing and looked as though she was dead. Shen Yu announced that she committed suicide because she felt guilty. As a member of a loyal family who had been serving the royal family for a long time, she specially allowed her to be buried with honor.
Normally, ministers charged with treason would be killed and thrown in the wilderness. Hence, Shen Yu’s actions left a good impression on her people’s mind.
The Host was rescued by her subordinate. Unfortunately, all her family had been executed or exiled. The Host was depressed.
With the help of her subordinate, she regained her fighting spirit. She could not give up now. The throne didn’t belong to Shen Yu.
The Host left the country. She would never be able to win against Shen Yu with her current strength.
Hence, the Host combined forces with other nations and became the ultimate villain.
Of course, she lost.
Shen Yu caught the Host and tore her body apart at the limbs with five horses.
[Jing Se wants to protect her family and support a wise empress.]
The current point in the timeline was when the Host won the war against the enemy country. She was on her way back and would be framed for treason soon.
The Host just entered the city. Since it was already nighttime, she would meet the empress tomorrow.
Tomorrow, she would be framed for treason.
This was not good timing.
I’m so nervous. I need to eat some food to calm myself down.
…. Do all fake female protagonists like to lock up the male protagonist?
Ming Shu shouted outside. “Jing Yu.”
An unfamiliar young man entered the room. He bowed and asked her, “Lady, do you need help to change your bandage?”
“Where is Jing Yu?”
“She is settling other matters.”
“Ask her to come and see me.”
“Yes.”
The young man made to leave. Ming Shu stopped him. “Bring me some food.”
The young man didn’t dare to defy her. He left the room.
…
Ming Shu was woken up at 3 AM.
Is this a job for a human?!
“Lady, your outerwear.”
Ming Shu put on her outerwear in a daze.
“Lady, your hat…”
“So irritating. I’m not going anymore.” Ming Shu fell back on the bed. “I want to eat drumsticks.”
Jing Yu was stunned. Lady was a careful person. She rarely revealed her emotions.
She had never seen this side of her.
Jing Yu looked at the time. The prime minister’s mansion was not far from the imperial city, but if they continued wasting time, they would be late.
“Lady, today is the first day you return to the imperial court. You can’t be late.”
“I want to eat drumsticks.”
“…”
Jing Yu quickly asked someone to prepare drumsticks. Then, she coaxed Ming Shu to put on her clothes.
Ming Shu ate her drumsticks as she sat in her horse carriage. Jing Yu was puzzled. Was Lady in a bad mood because of what happened?
That’s right…
Jing Yu’s expression turned worse. There was a huge war to fight today. She waved her hand. “Let’s go.”
The horse carriage moved slowly toward the imperial city.
When they reached the entrance of the imperial city, Ming Shu had to leave the horse carriage. Jing Yu quickly stopped her. “Lady, the drumsticks…”
“What?” Ming Shu grabbed her drumsticks and said, “I can’t eat drumsticks outside the imperial city?”
“No…” Jing Yu didn’t know what to say. She took out her handkerchief and passed it to Ming Shu. “Be more aware of your image.”
Lady must have suffered a huge blow.
Ming Shu: “…” What is Jing Yu thinking about?
The ministers that had arrived at the imperial city saw the horse carriage of the prime minister’s mansion. They looked over.
Some of them were walking toward the horse carriage. However, Ming Shu went back inside. Those ministers froze on the spot. They were already halfway to the horse carriage so they decided to just continue the way.
“Prime Minister.”
“Prime Minister.”
Voices rang outside.
Ming Shu finished her drumsticks and wiped her hands. She lifted the curtain. Jing Yu reached out and held her arm. Ming Shu remembered that she was injured so she didn’t jump down.
It would be embarrassing if she tripped.
“Congratulations, Prime Minister. This is a great achievement.”
“The prime minister is indeed the pillar of our country.”
“Compared to the prime minister, we appear so useless.”
All these ministers began to curry favor with Ming Shu simultaneously.
