Quick Travel: Saving the Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Role

Shangguan Hui spent more than half a month on this investigation.

It happened more than ten years ago, and many clues have long been lost. She first found out about the person who brought Wuyou to Lanhuafang. The person's nickname was Que'er. He had been performing in Lanhuafang since he was a child. He was redeemed in his twenties and changed his name to Lin An. He returned in his thirties with a child, Wuyou.

Lin An told others that Wuyou was his son, but Shangguan Hui found out that Lin An once told others after drinking that the reason he left and came back was because he was unable to have children and was driven out by the master of the family who redeemed him.

Moreover, it can be seen from the portrait left by Lin An that Wuyou looks very different from him and does not look like a biological son at all.

Lin An died not long after returning to Lanhuafang. After that, Wuyou was noticed by the manager of Lanhuafang because of his increasingly outstanding appearance and was asked to learn skills. However, he was still young and later hooked up with the niece of Lord Chen. Of course, the manager of Lanhuafang would not let him receive customers.

Back to Lin An, if Wuyou was really his biological son, as his biological father, he would not bring the child back even if he had to eat coarse food and beg on the street after finally escaping from his slavery.

He himself is a man of the world, doesn't he know the consequences of using his beauty to please men?

If they are lucky, they will meet a kind-hearted person who will help them redeem themselves, work as a servant, give birth to a child, and have someone to rely on when they are old. If they are unlucky, they will spend their youth in a brothel, and when they grow old or lose their looks or contract a disease, they will be driven out of the brothel and die in poverty and misery.

No matter which one it is, it is not good for men. Once they go to a brothel, their reputation will be ruined, and their descendants will have to bear this reputation.

Shangguan Hui then became even more suspicious of Wuyou's identity, but Lin An's experience over the past ten years was very complicated. She found the family that had originally redeemed Lin An and learned that the head of the family and the master had passed away many years ago, and the younger generations in the family had no impression of Lin An.

After many twists and turns, she found a servant who had served her master at that time. Through that servant, she learned that Lin An was redeemed that year, but was found to have contracted a disease not long after. The master immediately sold him away, so the younger generation in the family did not know of his existence.

Further investigation into his subsequent whereabouts revealed that he was sold to Jinling, but he was also kept there for a long time and was sold again within less than two years.

Shangguan Hui felt that continuing the investigation in this way would yield no results, so after reporting to Li Changhuan, he decided to start from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After reading the information she found, Li Changhuan immediately agreed.

-

The empress has been in poor health ever since she fell ill, and many court affairs have been handed over to Li Changhuan. However, the officials who stand on the side of the other princesses naturally have something to say, so Li Changhuan also assigned some work to the princesses.

She sometimes got tired of court affairs, especially when some officials were clever and tried to fool her with specious things, she always wanted to kill people.

But after all, they were officials appointed by the imperial court. As long as they had not violated any law or discipline, she could only scare them but could not kill them at will.

As for Li Changle, she was rejected on the spot when she said she wanted to marry Lord Zhang's legitimate son last time. She was obviously holding a grudge. Recently, she has been having hot and cold relationships with the sons of several officials in Yanjing. It is estimated that she wants to marry not only the concubine, but also the concubine.

There was a reason why Li Changhuan could make such a guess. The identities and status of the people Li Changle came into contact with were much lower than Xiao Yanzhi, and she would not choose those people as the legitimate ruler.

Sure enough, within a few days, Li Changle went to the palace to pay homage to the queen, and proposed that she wanted to marry the son of the Princess of Dingyang as a concubine, and at the same time, marry the eldest son of General Zhenyuan Shao Xiang and the grandson of the Minister of Rites as concubines.

The Queen truly treated Li Changle as her own child. Not only did she agree, but because she was worried that Lord Dingyang might be unhappy, she invited people into the palace to discuss the matter with him.

When Princess Dingyang left, she received many gifts from him. Of course, he was dissatisfied with this marriage, but his son was so deeply in love with the Third Princess that he couldn't stop her at all.

In the final analysis, she was spoiled by him and didn't know what was good for her. She insisted on becoming someone's concubine.

He also said that the Third Princess just couldn't explain to the previous concubine. After all, the other person entered the palace first. Even if his status was lower, it would not be convenient for him to bypass him as soon as he entered the palace. He would wait until he gave birth to a daughter and immediately make him the concubine.

Only his silly son believed it.

All women in the world are unfaithful, not to mention that the Third Princess took him as a concubine and two concubines at the same time. How could such a woman be the one who loved him so deeply as he said?

That's it.

The third princess grew up in the presence of the king and queen. In the heart of the princess, she must be more important than the other princesses. As long as she behaves herself, it will not be difficult for her to live a prosperous life in the future.

As for love, he will understand in a few years that it does not exist for women.

After the Queen arranged this matter, she felt somewhat worried and specially asked someone to invite Li Changhuan over to explain to her.

Li Changhuan didn't have any thoughts about this. As long as Li Changle didn't rebel, she could just ignore her.

If the rebellion really happened as in the dream, that would be another matter altogether.

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-February.

Women were respected in Northern Yan, and men could only take care of housework and raise children at home. Before marriage, they could still go out to have fun, but after marriage, they would stay at home even more.

But February 16th is a special day.

This was the day when Mei Lang and the empress became engaged. Later, the marriage ceremony he granted was also often held on this day. Over time, it became a festival.

On February 16th, men, whether married or not, can go out to see the lantern festival and get together with a few good friends. If they are unmarried, they can also go to the Marriage Bridge to meet their lover. It is said that if you meet and commit to your lover at the Marriage Bridge, you will be able to stay together until old age.

Wuyou has been in the Eastern Palace for several months. He knows that his status is low, so he rarely asks for anything in the mansion. He serves Li Changhuan carefully and spends the rest of his time reading and practicing calligraphy. He has never mentioned going out.

But for more than half a month, he was inexplicably irritable. Once, Xiaoyu broke into his room without permission, and he almost had someone drag him out and beat him. Xiaoyu was so scared that he cried for a long time.

Later, Zhen Dan sent him to the steward, Grandpa, to discipline him properly so as not to offend the master again. Master Wuyou was a very good person and would not make things difficult for them. Sometimes he would even intercede for them in front of the princess.

So his personality changed so drastically that everyone serving in the Eastern Palace found it strange.

Knowing that February 16th was approaching, he couldn't help but want to go out and take a look.

Li Changhuan has been very busy recently. Hearing this, he said, "I'll take you out in the next few days. You can go see the sights outside or go to the palace for a while. Not tomorrow."

Wuyou immediately said, "Then I'll go by myself!"

"No."

In the past, Li Changhuan never needed to repeat herself; no one dared to contradict her "no." But lately, he's been feeling distraught. Word has been circulating in the Eastern Palace that His Majesty is in poor health, and that the Princess will soon ascend the throne. By then, the son of someone's family will surely be able to enter the palace, though he wonders what rank he'll hold...

He was annoyed when he heard this, and now that Li Changhuan still wouldn't let him go out, he felt that this man didn't care about him anymore. He stiffened his neck and said, "I'm going out! If you don't let me go, I'll, I'll die in front of you!"

"Shut up!"
