Transmigrated Canon Fodder, Please Calm Down! Chapter 496



“You all listen carefully, I will say this only once. If I dare to speak, I am not afraid of your insults. From now on, curse me however you like. No matter how much you curse, I’ll tell you right here that in this life, I only have one man, and that man is Xuanyuan Mie.”

Tang Guo cast a glance at the silent Xuanyuan Mo, her face carrying a cold, mocking smile. “I won’t hide it from you. There was a time when I truly loved your Emperor deeply.” Catching the change in Xuanyuan Mo’s expression, she chuckled softly. “But now, I don’t love him anymore. Your Emperor is someone high and untouchable. I cannot afford to love him, nor do I dare to.”

“As of now, I love only one person and that is your Emperor’s twin brother, Xuanyuan Mie.”

“If you’re wondering how we met, and whether you accuse me of corrupting the harem,” Tang Guo raised her eyes and looked at the now-silent crowd below. Sure enough, people love a story. Especially one about her, the Imperial Concubine. Just look at how quiet they were now, holding back their curses just to hear palace secrets. “This Xuanyuan Mie,” she continued with a faint smile, “was personally sent to my bed by none other than your Emperor himself.”

As her words fell, countless people were utterly shocked.

This… this couldn’t be true!

Absolutely impossible!

That was the reaction of everyone present. They immediately turned to look at Xuanyuan Mo, and seeing that he did not refute, their hearts sank. Could this really be true?

“Of course it’s true,” Tang Guo said with a faint smile, her eyes full of ridicule. “Because he didn’t like me. When it came to consummating the marriage, he delayed again and again. When he couldn’t delay anymore, he asked Xuanyuan Mie to take his place.”

“You all think I’m deeply favored, but little do you know, the one who comes to me each night isn’t the Emperor you revere, but Xuanyuan Mie.”

“And I’m not afraid to tell you, I knew on the very first day that Xuanyuan Mie wasn’t Xuanyuan Mo. We didn’t do anything that day. At that time, I still had hope in my heart.”

“But this man… no matter how much patience or how pure the devotion, it can be worn down by reality, and of course, easily moved by genuine kindness. I later realized that A Mie was truly wonderful. When it was cold, he would warm my hands for me. On rainy days, when my knees ached, he would carefully massage them. His care and attentiveness were meticulous. Compared to Xuanyuan Mo’s indifference and heartlessness, who wouldn’t prefer someone like him?”

“Everything about him is admirable. I genuinely think he’s great. Over time, I forgot about that cold, indifferent, and heartless person.”

Xuanyuan Mo’s throat felt dry, yet he did not offer any rebuttal.

“Go ahead and scold me however you like, I don’t care. It was Xuanyuan Mo who willingly put on the green hat. I simply granted his wish and ensured he would wear it for the rest of his life.”

The crowd was already numb. The truth had caught them completely off guard, and Xuanyuan Mo’s lack of denial only made them feel more uncomfortable.

“Your Majesty, is this true?” Some of the officials asked in disbelief.

Xuanyuan Mo remained silent, which was as good as an admission.

Several elderly court officials couldn’t bear it. Their eyes rolled back, and they fainted on the spot.

“Regardless of whether it’s true or not, we still insist that the Imperial Concubine be executed,” one of the older court officials declared. “Her actions are extreme and set a dangerous example for the women of the world. She must be executed to prevent further disgrace.”

The truth Tang Guo revealed was a slap to their faces, and it only made them want to kill her more. Only by silencing her could they hope to bury this scandal and cover up their own ignorance.

Tang Guo smiled but did not reply.

At this moment, a fast horse galloped forward, and the rider shouted loudly, “Report! Your Majesty, our Tianqin Kingdom has been surrounded by a large army, and a massive force has also gathered outside the imperial city!”
