Reborn, after dressing up as a vicious female supporting character

Zhou Cangyan half-closed his eyes and looked in a bad mood since just now.

Shadow Guard and Xuan Mei looked at each other and pursed their lips, neither of them could guess what their master was thinking.

Logically speaking, the master should be happy that the princess is out of danger, but why has he been looking so gloomy since he came out of the room?

At this time, Cao Jin walked in.

He subconsciously glanced at Xuan Mei, who naturally looked away, pretending not to see him.

Cao Jin frowned.

"I'm here to say goodbye."

Zhou Cangyan looked at him and said, "If His Majesty asks, just put all the blame on Ziyin. He will protect you."

"Actually, it was Prince Yi's idea that I come to help you."

"I guessed it." Zhou Cangyan said calmly: "If Sishui City is lost, even if Nanchen officially steps into Dacheng, King Wei will be helped by Nanchen and will be his strong rival. How can he fulfill King Wei's wish?"

He paused again, glanced at Cao Jin, and then looked at Xuan Mei next to him.

"However, you are still too impulsive. As the commander of the Imperial Guard, leaving the Imperial City without permission is a capital crime, not to mention that your family is still in Ling'an."

When he said this, Xuan Mei's brows frowned slightly, but soon returned to being expressionless.

"You don't have to worry about these. I have made proper arrangements." Cao Jin said seriously: "No matter what, I will not let my family down."

Zhou Cangyan nodded, "That's good to know."

"Let's get back to business," Cao Jin asked him, "Sui Ning has sent out troops without being summoned, so he will definitely be held accountable."

In this way, Emperor Cheng Xiao would have a legitimate reason to act.

"Suibei is the defense line of Nanchen and Wuqi. With Suibei in charge, they dare not act rashly. Moreover, Nanchen took the lead in taking action, so they have to be on guard. The more this situation is, the more Suibei cannot move."

Cao Jin said meaningfully: "I'm afraid that His Majesty is not going to move Suibei."

Zhou Cangyan lowered his eyes and sneered: "What he wants to touch is my grandfather; if he touches my grandfather, it is equivalent to touching me."

"It's good that you know." Cao Jin said, "Suibei can only be the Suibei of Dacheng, or the Suibei of the emperor. Now that his holy body is not in good condition, he must want to take the opportunity to clear the obstacles for his son."

Zhou Cangyan said slowly, word by word: "That depends on which son it is."

Cao Jin knew what he meant, "On this matter, the Cao family does not take sides."

Having a personal relationship with Zhou Cangyan is one thing, but as he said before, he will not implicate the Cao family.

Zhou Cangyan responded, "Understood."

"Farewell."

He turned to leave, but Zhou Cangyan suddenly called Xuan Mei, "Send Commander Cao for me."

Xuan Mei: “…”

The shadow guard suppressed his laughter and watched the fun without minding any trouble, constantly giving her looks from the side.

Xuan Mei slowly turned her head and said, "I obey your command."

She came up to Cao Jin and said, "Commander Cao, please."

Cao Jin's gaze fell on the top of her head, "Thank you."

The two walked out one after the other.

At this time, Zhou Cangyan signaled to the shadow guard: "Please ask Shopkeeper Meng to come in and have a seat."

"Yes!"

Soon, the shadow guard brought Manager Meng over.

Zhou Cangyan picked up the tea and took a sip, "Is it King Ling's people?"

"Uh, little one..."

"I, the king, must listen to the truth."

Shopkeeper Meng also knew that at this point, there was nothing left to hide.

Moreover, when it comes to resisting foreign enemies, both King Ling and King Qing have the same goal.

After thinking it over, he raised his head and answered loudly: "I am indeed stationed here on the orders of King Ling."

"Yes." Zhou Cangyan put down the teacup, "The people of King Ling are very brave, and they have done a great job in defending against the enemy this time."

"I am very humbled, Your Highness, thank you for your praise."

Zhou Cangyan raised his light brown eyes and glanced at him: "You saved the princess, which means you have done me a favor. I will remember it."

This made Shopkeeper Meng flattered. He quickly lifted his skirt and knelt down, "Your Highness, you are killing me! It was the princess who saved the lives of the people in this city, including me. If we talk about gratitude, the princess's gratitude is greater than the sky! I will never accept your kindness!"

When he mentioned Song Lianhe, his words were full of admiration.

After going through life and death together, who would care who each other worked for? Shopkeeper Meng simply admired and respected Song Lianhe, regardless of her identity.

Despite this, Zhou Cangyan still signaled the shadow guard to give the reward.

Outside the clinic, Cao Jin walked down the stairs and turned around to look at Xuan Mei.

Xuan Mei's face remained expressionless, and she treated him like an insignificant person, "Take care, Commander Cao."

She turned to go in, but Cao Jin suddenly grabbed her wrist.

Xuan Mei responded almost as a conditioned reflex, she waved her hand and slapped down, but Cao Jin calmly dodged by turning sideways, then moved to stand on the other side of her.

"After returning to Ling'an, I will propose to King Qing."

Xuan Mei's eyes widened in an instant, and she refused without even thinking, "No!"

Cao Jin knew she would say that, "It's settled."

He turned around and walked down the steps, pulled the horse over and climbed on top, then pulled the reins and clamped his legs around the horse's belly. The horse neighed and drove away, leaving Xuan Mei standing there with a complicated expression.

Propose marriage?

This matter was too complicated for her, she had never even thought about it!

"Tsk tsk~ proposing marriage!" A crisp voice with laughter came from the corner behind me.

She quickly turned around and saw someone sitting next to the stone pier.

Song Lianhe looked at her with a smile, "I didn't expect that Commander Cao is such an executive. I was worried before, but you two are really more patient than each other! Who could have expected Commander Cao to be so domineering! Well... I agree to this marriage!"

At the critical moment of life and death, Cao Jin was able to drop everything and rush here, wasn't it all for Xuan Mei!

Song Lianhe was happy for her that she found someone who treated her so well.

Xuan Mei calmed down and walked over to help the person up. "Princess, you can't sit here. You have just recovered. You should go back to your room and rest."

Hearing her say so many words in one breath, it seems that there is something fishy going on.

"Haha, I understand." Song Lianhe blinked at her, "I know you are shy, so I won't mention it anymore."

“…I’m not shy.”

Xuan Mei said this, but her eyes betrayed her.

Just at this moment, someone came over.

"Princess Qing, we meet again."

Song Lianhe leaned over to look, "City Lord Duan?"

The people who came were Duan Shanmian and Zhu Liao.

Xuan Mei: "I'll go and report."

After she went in, Duan Shanmian turned his gaze to Song Lianhe: "Is the princess feeling better?"

"Ah, much better."

Song Lianhe looked at him, "City Lord Duan, you originally..."

She was silent again.

Knowing what she was going to ask, Duan Shanmian answered generously, "That's right, but the princess's actions made me feel a lot. I think Duan still cares about his reputation in the world and doesn't want to be the sinner hung on the city wall."

“I just follow my heart.”

He laughed: "What a great phrase, 'Act according to your heart'. Little did I know that this is the most valuable thing."
