After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 291 The Emperor Wants to Escape

However, the emperor was not angry at all. "I don't want to eat outside anymore. Make me a bowl of noodles with minced meat sauce today. I had some at your house last time, and it tasted just like it did back then."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him with a puzzled expression, thought for a moment, and then agreed.

It was noon, and Su Xiaoxiao was hungry.

Perhaps after this bowl of noodles with minced meat sauce is finished, this dog emperor will be able to explain what he really meant earlier?
Where is the kitchen?

The emperor smiled upon hearing this and pointed to the kitchen behind him, saying to Su Xiaoxiao, "It's in the back; they have all kinds of ingredients there."

Su Xiaoxiao ignored him and went straight into the kitchen to start making noodles with minced meat sauce.

Seriously, the kitchen was stocked with all sorts of fresh ingredients and seasonings, and even the fire was already lit. It was truly impressive; Su Xiaoxiao was completely amazed.

This time, she really didn't hold back and went into the kitchen to cook, showing great skill in the process.

Soon, a wonderfully enticing aroma wafted through the kitchen.

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but praise herself, realizing that she was indeed quite good at cooking; the aroma of this braised noodle dish was simply superb.

Su Xiaoxiao brought the noodles with minced meat sauce into the house, and the emperor's eyes widened in astonishment.

When he ate the noodles with minced meat sauce, he completely lost all his air of imperial authority.

"Is it really that delicious?"

Su Xiaoxiao even suspected that the Emperor might be deliberately showing off.

"You said you lived in the same era as me, could it be that you also traveled from the past?"

Seeing that the emperor had almost finished eating, Su Xiaoxiao asked without hesitation.

"Tell me about it..."

Then the emperor took out a handkerchief and gently wiped his mouth, complaining, "It would be so much more convenient to have a tissue at this time. I always feel that handkerchiefs carry bacteria, and I don't feel comfortable wiping my mouth with them."

Su Xiaoxiao didn't need to ask anymore. Did the person in front of her need to say anything else? His words had already explained everything. Go around asking around, who in this era would know what a tissue box is?

"Who exactly are you? What is your identity?"

Su Xiaoxiao stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point.

"Well, I used to be the CEO of a trading company. Because I was so busy, one time I was driving home from a dinner party and accidentally got into a car accident while drunk driving. That's how I ended up transmigrating. I really didn't expect that I would become the emperor as soon as I transmigrated."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao complained inwardly: "It's true that different people have different fates. How come he was set up like this when he transmigrated back, while others became emperors as soon as they arrived?"
The Emperor seemed to see through Su Xiaoxiao's thoughts and then laughed, "You must be complaining in your heart, why am I the Emperor as soon as I transmigrated, while you are just an ordinary village woman?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded, "Really? By the way, did you bring a spatial system with you when you came?"

Su Xiaoxiao was quite concerned about this matter, but to her surprise, the emperor shook his head and said, "What is this space? Sigh, I don't really know either, but do you know how devastated I was when I first transmigrated here?"

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao's lips curled into a wide grin. "Are you still going to break down? You transmigrated into the body of the supreme ruler, the emperor above all others! You have a harem of three thousand beauties, and the entire country is yours. Are you still going to break down?"

Su Xiaoxiao felt that the Emperor's words were like someone who had gained an advantage but was now acting innocent; it was as if he was mocking her. Su Xiaoxiao instantly felt contempt for the Emperor.

"So everyone's as lucky as you?" Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, and couldn't help but pout, showing her utter disdain.

"Don't even mention the idea of ​​a harem of three thousand beauties, that's what causes me the most pain..."

Who would have thought that the emperor's most painful place was here? What does he mean by that?
Su Xiaoxiao gave a disdainful look, as if to say, "Stop pretending. How many men aren't lustful?"
The Emperor wore an innocent expression. "Before I transmigrated, I had never been in a relationship, not even held a girl's hand. Now, suddenly I have over three thousand women around me—of course, three thousand is just a rough estimate, it's actually more. I... I'm actually terrified. So every day I can only stay in my Qianqing Palace reviewing memorials, afraid to step out, especially at night. There are always many palace maids coming over, saying that so-and-so imperial concubine is waiting for me. It's so scary..."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao burst out laughing.

"Ha ha……"

"Now I finally know what my mission is here."

Su Xiaoxiao listened to him continue, "My mission here is to deal with these concubines who are always fighting over me."

"Actually, I didn't want to be the emperor for even a day longer. If I hadn't transmigrated here just as the emperor was in danger and died, and I hadn't taken his place, I would have run away long ago. But you know, where can the emperor run to?"

Now that you put it that way, it seems to be true.

“Sometimes, I make choices out of necessity. What can I do? To be honest, I also hate that the emperor disregards the lives of ordinary people for his own selfish interests.”

Su Xiaoxiao listened attentively beside him. To be honest, Su Xiaoxiao didn't quite trust what this person was saying; it was probably half true and half false.

"So I'm not saying I want to win you over or anything. I think we're all from the same place, we're all time travelers, we should help each other, right? Who knows, we might meet even more people who have traveled from the modern world in the future. Our identities are of utmost importance, we absolutely cannot let others find out."

Su Xiaoxiao agreed, "You're right. We really need to protect our identities..."

Su Xiaoxiao's words were full of meaning.

Why? She couldn't believe what Pei Yuan's expression would be if he discovered her identity. Would he think she was an outsider and choose to distance herself from her?
"Since you don't want your identity to be exposed, shouldn't you obey my orders on some matters? I am, after all, the emperor. You should give me some face in public, shouldn't you?"

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. "When did I not give you face?"

"Sometimes, I feel that you are not taking into account my dignity as the emperor. You are actually concerned about everything concerning General Pei Yuan."

Su Xiaoxiao snapped, "Isn't that obvious? He's my man. If I don't care about him, who will I care about?"

"is it?"

The Emperor walked up to Su Xiaoxiao, raised an eyebrow, hooked Su Xiaoxiao's chin with his finger, turned Su Xiaoxiao's face around, and stared straight at Su Xiaoxiao.

"What if one day I say I want to get rid of him? Will you side with me or him then?"
