After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God

Chapter 1099: His Majesty: I Will Act As Myself (2)

This was her first time proposing to don armor and lead the JIANG family to continue safeguarding North State, leaving the ministers in shock.

Even JI Chunyuan tried to stop her, reiterating the prophecy.

If she were to go to battle, the JIANG family would truly have no future.

JIANG Zhaoyue was already more mature than her peers, requiring exceptional acting skills. Director Lu was worried about finding someone to portray JIANG Zhaoyue at this age.

To his astonishment, Si Fuqing’s assistant casually applied makeup to her, making her appear five or six years younger.

With Si Fuqing’s acting talent, a vividly realistic thirteen-year-old girl emerged.

Director Lu couldn’t help but gasp. “Teacher Si, is your assistant a professional makeup artist?”

Si Fuqing paused for a moment, raising an eyebrow. “Yes, a professional.”

A professional disguise artist.

“Alright, everyone get ready. We’re starting.” Director Lu called out with a loudspeaker. “All groups take their positions.”

Si Fuqing patted Yu Xiheng’s chest reassuringly. “Brother Nine, don’t be nervous.”

“I’m not nervous.” Yu Xiheng nodded, “With you leading, I’m fine.”

Since Emperor Yin would not appear on screen, he didn’t change into a costume and remained in his deep gray suit.

He slowly settled onto the dragon throne.

With just that single action, he transported everyone present back a thousand years.

After listening to JIANG Zhaoyue’s request, he did not respond immediately but sat quietly.

Director Lu held his breath, his heartbeat quickening.

This image, infused with an innate authority, perfectly aligned with the demeanor of Emperor Yin.

“You wish to go to North State? Your father and brother have asked me to take good care of you until you come of age, at which point you shall have a grand wedding.” After a pause, he lowered his gaze, seemingly helpless. “How am I supposed to explain this to them?”

“Father is gone, my brothers are gone; if my brothers haveleft, then I must go,” she said with unwavering resolve. “This is the faith of the JIANG family.”

What of being a woman?

Women can surpass men.

His gaze shifted in an instant, a swirl of emotions crossing his face. He then set aside the official documents, his tone calm yet firm. “This matter can be discussed later. You are still young, and I cannot agree.”

Yet at that moment, JIANG Zhaoyue had no idea that the next person to leave would be Emperor Yin himself.

She suddenly spoke up. “Your Majesty, but—”

At that moment, he looked her way.

The young emperor’s eyes were warm yet powerful. “But what?”

For an instant, Si Fuqing nearly believed she was still in the Great Xia Dynasty, having a face-to-face conversation with Emperor Yin.

She locked eyes with him, momentarily frozen in place.

“Cut!”

Director Lu shouted energetically.

Hearing his command, the crew and others froze in surprise.

It was common for filming to have takes that didn’t go well, but with Si Fuqing, this was unusual.

No matter how difficult the scene, she typically nailed it in one go.

Especially during the recent action scene, where she portrayed JIANG Zhaoyue emerging unscathed from a battle with a hundred men, riding off without a speck of blood on her armor.

Those hundred actors had been elite performers specially assigned from the Thousand Army Alliance.

In such a grand scene, Si Fuqing had shown no signs of error.

Yet today, a simple dialogue scene had gone awry?

The others were unsure what had happened, but Director Lu’s monitor clearly showed that during the shoot with Si Fuqing, she had momentarily spaced out, revealing emotions that JIANG Zhaoyue should not have displayed.

Yu Xiheng rose from the steps, extending a hand to help her up, quietly asking, “What’s wrong?”

“Sorry.” Si Fuqing slowly exhaled. “I zoned out just now. Let’s try again.”

She cleared her mind of distractions, focusing intently on her performance.

The next take went smoothly.

The on-site sound work was completed, and all the actors were ready.

Throughout, Yu Xiheng’s portrayal of Emperor Yin was delivered solely through his voice.

Yet from that voice, one could vividly imagine a young emperor.

He was ambitious and held the world in his heart.

Director Lu’s eyes lit up as he approached with excitement. “Mr. Yu, would you be interested in entering the entertainment industry?”

Such outstanding acting skills should not go to waste!

“Sorry.” Yu Xiheng smiled faintly. “My acting varies with my co-stars.”

The screenwriter reminded Director Lu, “What Mr. Yu means is that he will only perform if he’s acting opposite Teacher Si.”

Director Lu looked somewhat disappointed.

After pondering for a moment, he clapped his hands. “Let’s give Emperor Yin more lines.”

The screenwriter felt similarly, but she sighed. “I don’t think I’m worthy of writing lines for His Majesty.”

“Don’t worry.” Director Lu’s spirits soared. “With Teacher Si and Mr. Yu, let them improvise!”

Hearing this, Feng San thought, “…”

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined Brother Nine would one day guest star in Miss Si’s drama.

“Brother Nine.” Si Fuqing called out.

Yu Xiheng turned back. “Hmm?”

“My judgment was indeed correct,” Si Fuqing smirked. “You have quite the experience playing an emperor.”

Yu Xiheng replied calmly, “When you manage many people, you naturally gain similar experiences.”

Si Fuqing turned to look at Feng San and Xi Jiang.

Both Feng San and Xi Jiang stood stiffly, a hint of shame creeping over them.

They had acted like this as bodyguards, embarrassing Brother Nine.

In ancient times, they might have been executed for such disgrace.

Si Fuqing shrugged and went over to Director Lu to review the footage they had just shot.

After watching it three times, she left the set and found a spot with good signal to contact YUAN Mingchi, who had just emerged from the Holy Light Tribunal.

“Fifth Senior Brother, I have a question for you.” Si Fuqing paused before finally asking, “Since I have experienced rebirth, is there any possibility that someone else could also be reborn a thousand years later?”
