I'm not willing to be a cannon fodder for the female supporting role anymore

"You don't have to worry about these things. Take good care of yourself these two days and don't work. Wait until you have recovered before you worry about it."

The two of them comforted each other for a few more words, and then Yueying left.

Lying in bed at night, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, Yueying felt that her plan of faking her own death and escaping was imperative and there could be no mistakes this time. She thought of Ouyang Zhe's letter and took it out to read it again and again.

In the original text, Zhao Yueying found Ouyang Zhe when she escaped for the third time, and was then sent back to the palace.

Why does everything seem wrong when I transmigrate into the book this time? It seems that Ouyang Zhe's intention in the letter is to help me escape?

"My little shadow is still awake?"

She didn’t know if it was because she had been daydreaming for too long, she didn’t even notice when Li Qixuan came to her bedside.

Yueying hurriedly stood up, but as soon as she moved, she was held down by him.

"I will do it myself."

Li Qiyun took off his coat and lay down next to Yueying. In his memory, he rarely slept on the same bed with the original owner, as if he would only do so when something happened and made him tired.

Is it because of what happened today that he is in trouble?

Yes, the eldest princess and the queen mother, one is my aunt and the other is my aunt, it is difficult to choose who is closer or closer.

Afterwards, Yueying hid in the East Palace in fear, waiting for the Queen Mother or the Shen family to make trouble, but nothing happened day after day. Seeing that the day of Zhao's vindication was getting closer, Yueying was still very excited.

"Haitang, I have something in my heart that I want to tell you, come here."

When the day came, Yueying invited Haitang to sit next to her, peeled an orange and handed it to her, not afraid of scaring her with her sudden kindness.

"If I listen to the emperor and stay in the palace, what will the queen dowager do to me in the future?"

"Queen Mother..."

Haitang originally wanted to say it was excellent, but suddenly she remembered what happened recently and was unable to put it into words.

"If I listen to the Queen Mother, can I marry Ouyang Zhe safely?"

"What do you mean, girl?"

"No matter what happens, I will be in trouble, and you will inevitably be implicated."

Yueying didn't want to scare a maid, but it would be difficult for her to leave if she didn't take her with her.

"So the girl still wants to escape?"

Although Haitang and Xiaoli did not have a deep sisterly relationship, they had also been with Yueying for several years and had some feelings for each other. When Xiaoli died, she also felt a little resentful towards Yueying.

"When I ran away before, I didn't think about the impact on the people around me, so I hurt Xiaoli. I can't hurt you this time."

"girl."

Haitang was not mentally prepared and was suddenly hit by such information. She was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

"For me, staying in the palace is basically a dead end. Only by escaping can I have a chance of survival."

"Miss, can you let Haitang think about it for one night?"

"can."

"Aren't you worried that I'll tell His Majesty?"

"If I stay and die in this harem of dirty tricks, can you, the one who informed on me and caused me to stay, live?"

Yueying was worried that Haitang's loyal followers would tell on her, but she still found a good reason to stop Haitang from talking. This was both a reminder and a threat to Haitang, after all, when she wrote the book, she didn't write who she belonged to.

And if she really escaped from the palace, she planned to find an opportunity to fake her death and escape again. At any rate, she would leave some gold, silver and jewelry for Haitang. She should know what choice she had to make.

Early the next morning, Haitang went into the house to help Yueying dress. She agreed to escape, but with one request, which was that she needed to stay with Yueying. If they were not caught by the emperor's men after three to five years, the two of them would decide whether to go their separate ways.

Yueying felt a little strange when she heard Haitang's request, but it seemed to make sense. However, she was in a hurry, so she didn't think too much about it. She and Haitang carefully packed all the gold and silver jewelry, banknotes, etc. that they could take with them.

In the evening, Li Qixuan had dinner with her and then left. Yueying tried her best to behave normally.

This was her last night in the palace. Yueying could not fall asleep until late at night. Since she did not ask the palace servants to keep watch, she got up and went to the greenhouse alone.

I strolled around and lit all the candles in the greenhouse with a tinder. Looking at the greenhouse under the candlelight, I felt strange. I didn't stay here for long. Thinking about leaving, I was actually a little reluctant.

The next day was the day of Zhao family's vindication. Yueying thought she would go to the Golden Palace to receive the emperor's order and express gratitude, but she didn't see anyone calling her until lunch. Just as she was curious, she saw Li Qixuan returning to the East Palace with a little boy of about eleven or twelve years old.

"elder sister."

When the boy saw him, tears welled up in his eyes. He became timid and hesitated, not daring to come forward.

What was going on? Yueying was a little confused. Could this be the original owner's younger brother?

Looking closely, it seems to be somewhat similar to the original owner's memory. He was five years old when the accident happened, and he should be twelve years old now.

"Ying'er can't recognize Siheng?"

The emotions were not in place, and Yueying was still a little shocked at how the plot had become messed up again. She just stood there stupidly and didn't give any response.

"Sister, don't you remember Siheng?"

It wasn't until the boy asked it again that she realized what was going on and started to show off her acting skills.

"Sister, sister, I'm just too happy. I can't believe that I can see my relatives again in my lifetime."

"Yes, Your Majesty. In order to preserve the bloodline of our Zhao family, you secretly changed our identities and raised us."

Li Qixuan found a seat and sat down with a smile on his face, watching the two siblings recognize each other.

Yueying turned around and looked into his eyes. The original text should not be like this. Zhao Siheng didn't even come up with this name himself.

Yueying clearly remembered that she only wrote one sentence about this character - the entire Zhao family was killed, including her five-year-old brother.

Coming back to her senses, Yueying quickly grabbed Zhao Siheng's arm and knelt down together.

"The Zhao family will never forget the emperor's great kindness."

Seeing this, Li Qiyun stood up and walked over, frowned and picked the person up.

"Xiaoying'er, you are disobedient again. You are my chosen wife. You are not allowed to be so distant with me in the future."

No matter how grateful Zhao Siheng was to the emperor, he was shocked when he heard these words. He was no longer a child. In the past few years of hiding his identity, the prince had invited famous teachers to teach him the subjects that a child from aristocratic family should learn.

"Your Majesty, my sister and..."

"Of course, Siheng will be the emperor's uncle from now on. I have already prepared General Zhao's mansion for you. It will be the queen's family home from now on."

Li Qiyun's voice was so loud that the palace servants inside and outside the palace might have heard it. Zhao Siheng frowned but did not dare to say much.

The emperor's words were so true that before dinner time, the imperial court and the harem had already heard the emperor's order, which named General Zhao's orphan as empress.

"Haitang, what do you think we should do now?"

"Your Highness, the Emperor has summoned the Minister of Rites to the palace. I'm afraid the official imperial edict will come down tomorrow. If you leave now, what will happen to the young uncle?"

To be honest, Haitang was worried about the same thing as himself. Even if Li Qiyun didn't punish him, the emperor would probably not like him. How could a child like him support the Zhao family?

"I think this bastard did it on purpose!"

Yueying was just muttering and cursing when she heard a servant come in and report that Prince Han had sent in new flower seeds and asked her to see how to arrange them.

These two are really strange. Prince Han clearly avoids me and never lets me know how to tidy up the greenhouse. Why does he think of asking for my opinion today?

Yueying tidied up a little and went to the greenhouse.

When Prince Han saw someone come in, he bowed to her, but Yueying said there was no need to be polite.

"I heard that the emperor has orally appointed you as the queen. From now on, you will be the emperor's sister-in-law. You must not be impolite anymore."

There was nothing to get close to him, as this guy had been avoiding her. Yueying thought about it and decided to go along with him. Then Prince Han introduced where the new variety came from, how to cultivate it, and whether it liked shade or sun.

After a while, while the palace servants were not paying attention, he slightly lifted a pot of flowers and stuffed a note into the bottom.

The person is right next to him, why can't he just give the note? Yueying almost laughed out loud, he was trying to avoid suspicion to such an extent, yet he was still able to send a letter to someone, I wonder how much of a favor Prince Han owed him.

After admiring the flowers in the greenhouse for a while, Yueying asked someone to move the pot of flowers into the bedroom.

After sending the servants away, Yueying pulled out the note from the bottom of the basin.

"After leaving the palace, go to the back street of Yanliu Lane. There is a key at the foot of the stone lion at the entrance. Remember not to go anywhere else. Just stay indoors and I will find you in three days."

Although Prince Han did not say it, but after comparing the handwriting, it is indeed Ouyang Zhe's.

Yanliu Street sounds like a place of entertainment, and it is a good place for Tibetans to hang out nearby.

Did Ouyang Zhe come back from disaster relief? What was he trying to do by helping me escape?

Picking up the note again, Yueying suddenly discovered a bug. Ouyang Zhe's letter did not mention how to let her leave the palace, but directly wrote about leaving the palace.

This shows that he knew he wanted to escape and could escape successfully.

It seems that Ouyang Zhe was either transported through time or reborn.

If he was traveling through a book, unless his mission was to save himself, there was no need for him to help a cannon fodder like himself escape. If he was reborn, he probably thought that sending himself back to the palace would bring him happiness in his previous life, but he didn't expect that it would lead to his own death. So he wanted to give himself a good ending in this life, which means that he really thought it was good for the original owner when he sent her back to the palace.

Originally, she was a little hesitant about whether to escape because of Zhao Siheng, but when Yueying found out that someone was helping her, she felt more confident again.

Ouyang Zhe is not only Li Qiyun's childhood friend, but also his close follower, and he also plans to steal his fiancée.

If she ran away, as long as he was not investigated, with Ouyang Zhe's status, helping Zhao Siheng should be able to make him live a good life. After all, she felt that the younger brother was a good person.

"Begonia."

"what happened?"

"The last water truck hasn't left yet, has it?"

"Are you still planning to leave, Madam?"

"You're not going to tell on me?"

Yueying teased Haitang jokingly while looking for anything else that could be packed away.

"My lady, Haitang has already promised you, how could she go back on her word? I am afraid that you will regret it, after all, more people are involved now."

I know that she meant to remind me that I still have a younger brother to consider.

"If the emperor truly loves me, he shouldn't make things difficult for me."

"I will take the things to the corner tower first, and you can come over in an hour."

Yueying nodded and yelled as they had agreed.

"Haitang, I've told you so many times that you should use this torn clothing to fill the nest for the kittens in the corner tower. Why haven't you taken it yet?"

"My lady, I'll take it over when I have time in the next two days."

"Don't wait for the next two days, take it now. I'll see if there's anything else. Go!"

The palace servants in the yard didn't pay much attention to what they heard, and they saw Aunt Haitang going out with a bag of things on her back.

After a while, Yueying also carried some things, but everyone subconsciously thought they were just some clothes.

Yueying went out in a circle, then returned to the East Palace, walked behind the rockery in the courtyard, and secretly dived into the water. Although there was no dog hole in the East Palace, there was a small pool connected to the outside. She went back and forth this time just to make sure that the secret guards following her were watching at the gate of the East Palace.

After swimming in the water for a while, she arrived at a secluded corner that she had spotted earlier in the lotus pond in the Imperial Garden. She took off her wet clothes, changed into the palace maid's costume that had been left there, and headed towards the corner tower.

If Yueying wasn't worried about killing the people around her, she could have just opened her umbrella and ran away openly. Why would she have to put on such a show in front of Haitang?

But it was worth it. She and Haitang were finally hidden in the waterwheel as planned and were transported out of the palace.

She put on a veil, gave a lot of silver and money to the palace servant who pushed the cart, and threatened him to watch his mouth. Then the two of them went straight to the back alley of Yanliu Street.

Everything went very smoothly. Yueying was very happy as she ate the food in the kitchen. The mission was almost over. All that was left was to fake her death, find a small town with the money, help the puppet prepare for the rest of his life, and then she could leave.

Happy here, sad there.

There was a clever little palace maid in the East Court Hall. When the door was about to close, she remembered that Aunt Haitang seemed to have gone out and had not returned, so she ran to her room to check, and found that she had not returned.

Then he ran to the main hall to look for the empress, worried that something had happened to Aunt Haitang. He bravely went in, but found that the empress was not in the hall, so he ran to tell the old nanny what happened.

The palace servants quietly searched the East Court Hall twice but couldn't find the empress. Just when they were wondering whether they should report to the emperor, the secret guards guarding outside the courtyard discovered something unusual.

Soon, Li Qiyun found out that Yueying had run away again.

"I've learned my lesson this time. I'll run with the people around me."

The teacup in his hand was crushed by him. Steward He, who was standing beside him, watched the emperor's expression and thought to himself that something was wrong.

"Hey, Your Majesty, your hand... Imperial Physician, please call the Imperial Physician~"

As the chief eunuch, he couldn't get away with this matter. Cold sweat soaked the cloth on his back. He didn't know what that person was going to do. The emperor was busy preparing a gift for her, but she was the one who could make people angry.

"Ding, the male protagonist's dark value is 20%."

"Ding, the male protagonist's dark value is 30%."

Just after finishing the last bite of pastry, Yueying heard a mechanical voice broadcast, and the smile on her face froze uncontrollably.

Damn it, I forgot that the male protagonist can turn evil.
