Rebirth of the Female Antagonist: XUANRONG

In the middle of the night, a black shadow was currently kneeling inside a luxurious room. Inside the room, the curtain that divides the inner room and the bed was currently down, separating it completely.

"How was it?"

A baritone voice suddenly echoed inside the room. The voice was clearly coming from behind the curtain.

The shadow shifted his position and spoke afterwards.

"The woman who was currently visiting the temple that time was the Di[1] daughter of Prime Minister Xuan, XuanRong guniang[2]."

When the shadow did not hear his master's response, he continued giving his report.

"She is the Eldest one among all the children in the XiangFu. Her maternal family is the Chen family from the capital and her maternal grandfather is the Blood General, Great General Chen. Her birth mother, ChenYi, died when she was two years old and the current Furen[3] of XiangFu, Xiao Lou, was the one who raised her..

Her maidservants were called YuLi and YuYing. She also has another two maidservants named YuShang and YuShen but both of them were dismissed few years ago. She is currently a ten-year-old child without any form of marriage agreement from any noble family due to the rumor of her being an arrogant person."

The shadow's tone was constant without any emotion in his voice but deep inside, he was sweating hard. It took him a great effort to remain impassive, trying his best not to get caught and be punished. He would rather get tortured by their enemies than be punished by His Lordship.

He had been a shadow since he was little, and he was a special informant who was raised with the sole purpose of gathering information. He, the shadow, was 'made' for the sake of His Lordship. He who had ears but had no mouth. He who had eyes that could only see. He could hear, he could see, but his mouth was sealed and could not speak. He neither had his own will nor his own thoughts. He was not a person but 'His' shadow. He was bound by the thing called 'Loyalty'.

He had encountered many things and learned many unspeakable secrets, secrets that could affect the balance of the kingdoms within the entire continent. But among the secrets that he knew, this one secret was able to shake his body and soul. He could not believe that he would have the chance to uncover the truth.

And that was… His Lordship was a pedophile.

He, who was called the Moon Emperor, used his power to investigate a poor child who had not reach her marriageable age. How could a grown-up man whose cherry blossoms already bloomed stalk a ten-year-old child?

The shadow inwardly shivered. A thought suddenly passed inside his mind. Although the Moon Pavilion was only established few years ago and His Lordship's prestige was still not on par with the other leader of the different organizations in Jianghu[4], still, many hearts would shake due to the presence of His Lordship and ladies fight each other for His Lordship's sake. His Lordship was also a man. How could a man resist the temptation of being buried in the arms of a woman? But His Lordship was different. He treated them like dirt.

The shadow was now sure that the reason why His Lordship did not pay attention to those ladies was because he love picking unripen fruits.

"…. Why did you stop? Is that all?"

The Moon Emperor's voice startled the shadow to death. He did not realize that he stopped in the middle of talking when his thought flew far away from the discussion.

"….The information was only limited due to the lack of time. This servant was not able to gather sufficient data. This servant is willing to get punished." How can someone gather all the data when it would take half a month before the information travels?

'Justice ah!' The shadow internally sighed.

The woman who was sleeping on the bed slowly opened her eyes. She was filled with confusion. The last time she remembered, she was running away from those evil people who wanted to capture her.

The woman moved her head to the right side of the bed and saw nothing, not a single soul.

When the maidservant outside heard some movement inside the room, she immediately entered the room and found out that the woman was now awake.

"This Madam, are you hungry? would you like to eat something? This servant will tell the kitchen beforehand."

The woman turned her head when she heard someone's voice.

"W-where am I?" the woman warily stared at the departing back of the maidservant.

She no longer needed to recuperate for her wounds. Time was running out. She had to find her son and give the necklace. When the woman recalled the necklace, she raised her hand to get the pouch inside her inner garments. Unfortunately, she forgot that before she passed out, someone already accepted her responsibility.

"Da XiaoJie[5], the guest is already awake. Would you like to enter and ask her?"

When she heard the maidservant, who returned spoke with another person, the woman stared at the closed door, waiting for it to open.

*creaaak*

The door opened, and two people entered the room. One was the servant who previously left while the other one was a ten-year-old child. The woman decided to stay in bed and recuperate completely. XuanRong smiled at her.

"I am glad that you are awake now."

The woman tried to sit on the bed but XuanRong refused.

"No need to force yourself. Just remain lying over there and leave the rest to me."

"Thank you." The woman's voice was a little hoarse but once could sense the gratitude she felt towards the Moon Emperor.

"Do not thank me. I am doing this not for your sake but for my sake."

The woman was shocked when she heard XuanRong's honesty. The woman admired people like XuanRong, so, she opened her mouth and say, "Speak. What do you want from me?"

XuanRong stared at the woman's eyes.

"Teach me the Art of Gu."
