Quick Wear: My Master is a Drama King

Chapter 290: Female Dominance World 5

Duan Chengyuan's mother was a general who had guarded the frontier and fought in battles for many years. She made many contributions to the court and enjoyed a very high status in the hearts of the people.

As the only son, Duan Chengyuan should have been pampered.

However, the late emperor was suspicious and recalled him to the capital. Soon after, he charged his mother with treason.

Their entire family should have been beheaded in Xingtai, but the people cried out in grief and pleaded for them.

The empress could only be "lenient" and drive their entire family out of the border, and never allow them to enter the court again.

Things are unpredictable. Duan Chengyuan and his family were assassinated on their way to the border. Duan Chengyuan's parents died to protect him, and only a few of his men were left.

Fortunately, Duan Chengyuan returned to the border safely.

As the only child of the Duan family, Duan Chengyuan inherited his mother's armor and began to fight for his life on the battlefield.

The soldiers who originally didn't think highly of him gradually shut up when they saw his desperate look.

Duan Chengyuan stayed in the frontier for a full twelve years, fought on countless battlefields, and killed countless enemy troops.

During these twelve years, the court was undercurrent and bloody, and the princesses fought to the death for the throne.

Finally, in the tenth year, the previous emperor passed away and the crown princess ascended the throne.

After the new empress came to the throne, the first thing she did was to thoroughly investigate the Duan family's past. After clearing the Duan family of grievances, she appointed Duan Chengyuan, who was far away in the frontier, as the General of Cavalry.

In the second year after that, Duan Chengyuan led his soldiers to a great victory over the Northern Di, was named general, and then returned to the court by imperial decree.

The Queen even held a special welcome party for him.

Today is the day when Duan Chengyuan returns to the court according to the imperial order, and the streets and alleys are unusually busy.

"Hey, you know, our general is a man. I heard that he is tall and strong, with a strong back and strong waist, and he also eats human flesh."

"Nonsense, I heard that this great general is the descendant of General Duan. General Duan is so handsome, her descendants must be not much worse."

"Don't trust rumors. You can only know the truth if you see it with your own eyes."

"Hey, look, here it comes."

I saw a tall man riding a horse, wearing black armor and a devil mask on his face. His aura showed that he was a veteran of the battlefield, which made people feel chilly.

When the noisy people saw him, they subconsciously quieted down and made way for him.

What's more, some people who were swept past by Duan Chengyuan suddenly felt weak in the hands and feet, and tried hard not to cry out.

The children watching the play were frightened by him and burst into tears.

Duan Chengyuan pursed his lips and quickened his pace to enter the palace.

A few days later, people began to spread the news that Duan Chengyuan was extremely ugly, with a pointed mouth, fangs, and triangular eyes.

If the children at home are disobedient, parents will use Duan Chengyuan to scare them, and they will become extremely obedient.

Of course, this is just a trivial episode and can be treated as a joke. After all, different people have different opinions.

At this time, a welcoming ceremony for Duan Chengyuan was being held in the palace.

Duan Chengyuan took off his armor and sword before striding in.

He bowed and said, "Your humble servant pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen."

The Queen sat in the main seat and looked at Duan Chengyuan with scrutiny.

Is this Duan Chengyuan?

He doesn't look that good, and looks like a vulgar person at first glance. Is he worth Yanzhou keeping in mind for so long?

She showed no emotion on her face, and said calmly, "No need to be polite."

After Duan Chengyuan sat down, the sound of piano lingered in his ears, and the summoned dancer began to dance in front of everyone.

They had graceful figures, attracting everyone's attention, except for the three people present.

At this moment, the woman sitting next to Duan Chengyuan suddenly covered her lips and coughed lightly twice.

Duan Chengyuan glanced over and found that there was a very strange woman sitting next to him.

The weather is cool now, and a single piece of clothing would be enough, but this woman is wearing a cloak and seems to be a little afraid of the cold.

The woman picked up the wine glass in front of her with her slender white hands. When she was about to put it to her lips, Her Majesty the Queen spoke.

"My dear Fang, you are in poor health and cannot drink."

As she spoke, the queen looked at the palace maid and said, "Change your wine to tea."

Hearing this, the woman coughed a few more times, and her pale face became a little red due to coughing.

She tilted her head to look at the Queen, and said in a gentle and soothing voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry. My health is not that bad. I can still drink one glass."

The Queen said without hesitation: "My dear, please don't be willful."

The woman put down her wine glass helplessly: "I will obey your majesty."

The officials below were obviously accustomed to Her Majesty the Queen's attitude towards that woman. Their facial expressions did not change at all and they continued to drink and chat.

If the Prime Minister was not a woman, they would all suspect that the Queen and the Prime Minister were having an affair.

When Duan Chengyuan, who was standing by, heard that the woman's surname was Fang, his heart skipped a beat.

After turning his head and seeing the woman's profile, he couldn't take his eyes away.

This is……

Sister Yanzhou...

Fang Yanzhou noticed that Duan Chengyuan was looking at him. He glanced at him calmly, nodded at him, then retracted his gaze and took the tea poured for him by the palace servant.

"Thank you."

This attitude made it seem as if he didn't even know Duan Chengyuan.

Times have changed and things and people are no longer the same.

The innocence of the past is long gone, and familiar faces have become unfamiliar.

The two met again, but they were just acquaintances.

Duan Chengyuan's breathing stagnated slightly. He slowly withdrew his gaze, and stared at the table with his body stiff.

This is, don't you recognize him?

That's right, he is wearing a mask now, how could anyone recognize who he is.

Moreover, they had not spent much time together, so it was normal for Fang Yanzhou to forget about him.

Twelve years have passed, and Fang Yanzhou is now twenty-one. He is probably married and has children. How can he still remember his childhood jokes?

Duan Chengyuan raised his hand and touched the mask on his face.

When he was on the battlefield, he was slashed in the eye by the enemy. Although his eye was not injured, it left a very ugly scar.

Who would like someone as ugly as him? He should be thankful that he is not afraid of him...

All their actions were seen by the Queen above. The Queen sank her eyes and said calmly, "Why does General Duan wear a mask? Is there something he cannot tell you?"

Duan Chengyuan heard this and withdrew his thoughts. He replied neither servilely nor arrogantly, "Your Majesty, I am an ugly minister. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

He raised the wine glass in front of him, lifted his mask slightly, and drank the wine in one gulp: "I will drink a glass as a punishment myself."

The Queen narrowed her eyes and said, "General Duan has been in the frontier for a long time. He is indeed not particular about small matters. Why don't you toast General Duan?"

The officials present were all smart men. They stood up and toasted Duan Chengyuan one by one.

After a round of toasts, Duan Chengyuan still looked as calm as a mountain, sitting firmly in his seat.

The Queen looked at him and said casually: "I heard that you are very skilled in martial arts, can you give me a chance on the spot-"

"Cough cough cough-"

Before she finished her words, Fang Yanzhou below her suddenly started coughing violently, with such force that it seemed as if his heart, liver, spleen and lungs were about to be coughed out.

The next second, Fang Yanzhou suddenly spat out blood with an expressionless face, and his body slowly fell down.

Duan Chengyuan, who was standing by, quickly supported him.

"Yan...are you...ok?"

Fang Yanzhou had fainted and no one answered him.

The Queen forgot about finding fault at this time. She walked down quickly, picked up Fang Yanzhou from Duan Chengyuan, and strode away.

She looked very panicked: "Call the imperial physician."

For a time, there was chaos and war.
