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

Sun Yinwu's face was still flushed, and Zhan Yanran was wringing her handkerchief with water, and her clothes were a little messy.

When he heard someone coming, Sun Yinwu had no choice but to hug the person in his arms and hide in the gap between the rockery.

"excuse me."

Zhan Yanran didn't dare to breathe a word. She was just glad that she didn't do anything unnecessary. Otherwise, if she was caught cheating and there was debauchery in the palace, the Zhan family would not be able to protect her.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I just saw Miss Yanran taking the prince away, and I couldn't stop her."

"Zhan Yanran, that bitch, actually dared to snatch Brother Wu from me."

"I heard that Madam Sun is very optimistic about Miss Yanran now. I'm afraid that after tonight..."

"It's not you, you piece of trash."

"If she really dares to touch Brother Wu, I will make sure she never sees the sun tomorrow."

"But the Zhan family..."

"What are you afraid of? If someone drinks too much and falls into the water, what can I do about it?"

"The servant understands."

"Go find it now."

"Yes."

"Bitch, bitch, Yan Yueying, you are so great. You don't dare to go against me, but you train someone to snatch people from me. Zhan Yanran, I really underestimated you."

Zhan Mingyue didn't know how terrifying she looked at this moment, dressed in white, alone in the mottled light and shadow, with her face distorted by anger.

After she had vented her emotions, she tidied herself up and left.

Zhan Yanran, who was hiding in the rockery, no longer had the blush on her face that she had when she was alone with the prince she had been thinking about. She was now frighteningly pale.

Although Sun Yinwu was shocked for a moment, he recovered much faster than her.

"Yanran, are you okay?"

He felt that the little girl was trembling all over, and her tears were falling like beads from a broken string when he asked her questions.

"Don't cry, I will protect you."

"I, I always treated her as my own sister..."

Zhan Yanran was so scared that she didn't dare to speak loudly. She bit her lips and kept crying.

After Yueying watched Zhan Mingyue leave, she also pulled Sheng Shize out. She originally wanted to rescue Zhan Yanran if necessary, but she didn't expect to hear what Zhan Mingyue said.

It was also her fault for being too obvious. It was normal for Zhan Mingyue to hold a grudge against her.

"Do you like the prince?"

"Me? I don't like it."

After pausing for a moment, Yueying saw the unwillingness and anger on Sheng Shize's face in the moonlight, and she laughed out of anger.

"When will your brain return to normal? I, Yan Yueying, only like Sheng Shize."

"Really?"

"boiled."

"Then I like you, too."

His expression changed so quickly. Just now he looked like he wanted to beat someone up, but now he was so happy as if the person with a gloomy face just now was not him.

"I don't understand. Since Zhan Mingyue likes the prince so much and the prince also likes her, why didn't the two of them get engaged earlier?"

Wouldn’t the emperor be unable to snatch it this way?

"When the Emperor was still a prince, he fell in love with Concubine Yue because of a painting of plum blossoms. He had already secretly proposed marriage to her. In order to protect the woman he loved, he never married her."

"Oh, no, you recovered your memory?"

"Recovered a bit."

"really?"

"I just remember Hua Yan, you won the game."

"You don't remember anything after that?"

"very soon."

"What's so happy?"

"I mean, I'll remember the rest pretty quickly."

Yueying stared at him with suspicion for a while, and Sheng Shize added a little unnaturally.

"Although it's a little vague, I have the impression that I like you very much."

It’s terrible. My memory has been restored. Why is Sheng Shize still so good at talking?

In order not to implicate Zhan Yanran, Sun Yinwu went to see the emperor and asked the imperial physician to treat him.

Since it was a scandal in the imperial palace, it naturally had to be investigated secretly, but Concubine Yue acted quickly enough and the young palace maid hanged herself.

This little palace maid cannot survive this. Concubine Yue must kill her, and Sun Yinwu will not let her stay for the sake of the Marquis' Mansion.

If this matter were to be blamed on Concubine Yue, the emperor would not allow Sun Yinwu to live well.

Here, Yueying spent a long time preparing Zhan Yanran psychologically. After all, Zhan Mingyue would not let it go so easily. If she wanted to live well, she had to behave the same as before.

Sure enough, after a few days, Concubine Yue summoned Zhan Yanran, and Yueying notified the emperor's secret guards who had tried to assassinate her at that time, asking them to take action to protect Miss Zhan.

In the afternoon, I heard the report that he didn't suffer any physical pain, but was held down by the old nanny for a physical examination.

Yueying knew that the person was fine, so she didn't care.

The next day, I heard that Zhan Yanran had committed suicide.

"People are dead?"

“It was already cold when I found it.”

Although Yueying intended to take advantage of Zhan Yanran at the beginning, she also felt that she was spoiled and domineering, and as vicious as Yue Fei.

Later, Zhan Yanran changed little by little, and Yueying gradually began to want to help her.

Yueying's eyes were slightly red. She was wrong. She should have gone to Zhanfu last night. In ancient times, it was a great shame and humiliation for a woman to be examined physically. How could a girl who was always proud and arrogant bear it?

If someone had stayed with her for a night, and she could have gotten through it and figured it out, she might not have thought about it anymore.

"It is said that he left a suicide note for both the prince and you. The Zhan family invites you to come over."

The Zhan family still has strong family ties, so when the little girl went there, the atmosphere in the whole house was very solemn.

"Ying girl, do you know what Yanran is having trouble with? Why is she thinking about it out of the blue?"

The person asking the question was Zhan Yanran's mother. Ever since her daughter was getting better and better, she had become closer to this distant relative.

"Aunt, Ying'er doesn't know either. I need to see what she left for me."

After opening the envelope, it was obvious that other people had also read the letter. Zhan Yanran had actually written several pages of words of gratitude between sisters. There was only one sentence that Yueying could not understand.

"Remember when you taught me the secret of grilled delicacies? It seemed so magical at the time."

She had never taught Zhan Yanran how to grill delicious food, let alone what the secret was.

Yueying always felt that there was something else behind her words, but she couldn't react for a moment, so she kept silent.

When she turned around and saw the prince, she burst into tears.

"I would like to marry Yanran as the Crown Prince's Consort."

All the Zhan family members in the hall were stunned. Zhan Yanran used to be unruly and arrogant, which the prince didn't like. Later, she restrained herself a lot and won the favor of the wife of the Marquis. However, the prince still didn't like her. Now that she is dead, the prince insisted on bringing the tablet into the house.

"Sir, if there are any unreasonable requests in my daughter's suicide note, please forgive me. This is not a joke."

Zhan Yanran's father, Zhan Jiangtao, immediately stood up. The prince made the promise out of pity, and he couldn't offend the Marquis's Mansion because of this.

"I will go back home and tell my parents that I will get three matchmakers and six betrothals."

Yueying knew that this was not only Sun Yinwu's compensation to Zhan Yanran, but also represented his confrontation with Zhan Mingyue.

She didn't know if it was because she had paid too much attention to Zhan Yanran, or because she was also responsible for her death. Yueying looked at that pale little face and couldn't help but shed tears.

"Uncle, aunt, please allow me to dress up Yanran."

They just thought that the two sisters had a deep affection for each other, so they agreed.

Yueying disguised herself as homemade cosmetics and applied them on Zhan Yanran's face for a while. Everyone saw that she seemed to be sleeping soundly.

"Ying girl is thoughtful."

She didn't mean to put on airs in front of these living people; she was only doing this to comfort herself psychologically.

When he returned to Yan's house in the evening, Yan's father hesitated several times before finally speaking.

"Originally, we agreed to let you marry from Zhanfu, but now this has happened..."

"I am not the granddaughter of the Zhan family. Now my father is also in the capital. It is better for me to marry into the Yan family."

"Alas, it's a pity for that girl. I saw that she had a pretty good relationship with you."

Seeing that his daughter didn't want to say more, the strict father thought that she was tired, so he shook his head and left.

Yueying stared at the paper in her hand in a trance. She and Zhan Yanran had unknowingly experienced so many things together.

Suddenly, Yueying saw the flickering candlelight out of the corner of her eye, and she suddenly thought of something. She pulled out the last piece of letter paper, which was just a blank piece of paper.

She quickly took it under the candlelight to heat it up, and Yueying discovered a shocking secret. Is this what Zhan Yanran wanted to say before she died?

It turns out that the emperor liked to occupy the bright moon because of a painting of plum forest. When the emperor was still a prince, he had been to Jincheng. It is said that he fell in love with a woman who was playing the piano and composing poetry in the plum forest in the western suburbs at first sight.

The woman was wearing a mask at the time, and the two talked for a few words from a distance without revealing their identities. The woman was called away by her family.

Half a year later, I accidentally saw a painting of plum forest in Zhan's mansion. After asking Zhan's family, I learned that it was painted by Zhan Mingyue in Jincheng a few months ago.

So the marriage was arranged. At that time, in order to consolidate his power, the emperor asked to marry the current queen. It was not until he ascended the throne that he brought Zhan Mingyue into the palace in the name of a beauty contest.

Here comes the point. In fact, everyone in the Zhan family knows that Zhan Mingyue did not go to Jincheng at that time. It was Zhan Xinxuan, the eldest son of the first wife, who went there. The painting was also given by a local literati.

Yueying instantly became interested in the painting of Merlin, and went to Sheng Shize to discuss the matter the next day.

"Ying'er, do we have to do this?"

"If this kind of person only favors the harem, will the world be good in the future?"

Sheng Shize was worried that something might happen to Yueying, but she brought up the world as an excuse and he couldn't refute it.

In this martial world, there are not many men who love literature. Unfortunately, the emperor is one of them. Although he was forced to learn martial arts since he was a child, there is still a corner of him that prefers romance.

So Zhong Tianyang, who had just entered the court as an official, proposed that one should master both civil and military skills and hold both military and literary competitions. Although the emperor did not agree on the surface, he had privately summoned him to the palace to discuss the matter.

In the end, the emperor adopted the idea of ​​summoning a group of young officials to the palace for a banquet and then leaking the news. After all, this was not an unforgivable crime. Once most officials understood that it was the emperor who wanted to hold a literary meeting, there would naturally be fewer people who would obstruct it.

Yueying was not idle either. Her people were visiting the people who sent paintings to Zhan Xinxuan.

"The calligraphy and painting of the several gentlemen who were friends with him in Jincheng at that time were indeed very ordinary. Could it be that some young lady did it?"

"Miss?"

An Yi's words awakened the dreamer, and Yueying smiled. When he was looking for Sheng Shize, he had seen with his own eyes that there were many plum blossom paintings in Ouyang Qingya's study.

"Go and invite Miss Ouyang here."

Yueying smiled and wrote a simple letter and gave it to An Yi.

"Yes."

"Is there anything else?"

"All the secret guards wish the leader to have a son soon."

After An Yi finished speaking, he bowed and then jumped out of the window and left.

A blush appeared on Yueying's face, and she felt a little embarrassed.

"Thank you."

"On the wedding night, my wife actually met another man."

"I am meeting this with my husband, right? That's not okay."

"I really don't know who is more important in your heart?"

"Alright, alright, drink the wedding wine quickly, it's time to go to the bridal chamber."

"you you."

Sheng Shize didn't expect Yueying to grab his hand and force him to drink the wine so directly. There was no tenderness or flirtatious words as he had imagined. Then he was dragged to the bed.

A few days later, Yueying intercepted Ouyang Qingya's carriage one mile outside the city gate.

"It's you?"

"Ms. Ouyang, long time no see."

"Hmm, did you write the letter?"

"Ms. Ouyang reacts very quickly."

"Miss Yan, are you trying to humiliate me this time?"

"No, Miss Ouyang, I am not a petty person. You have never hurt me, so I will definitely not take the initiative to provoke you."

"Then why did you trick me all the way here?"

"To be precise, I'm not lying."

"People of the bright side don't speak secretly."

"Miss Ouyang forced my husband to stay because she wanted to find support for the eldest prince, but the eldest prince is not your Ouyang family's biological son."

"You are asking for your life, and you dare to discuss the heir to the throne."

"Miss Ouyang, are you interested in cooperating with me? I accidentally learned a secret about the emperor."

"How do I know if what you said is true or not?"

"You just need to come to the banquet with me, and you don't have to do anything else. The facts will tell you the truth."

"Then what do you want?"

"she!"

Yueying pointed at Jing Yixiu who was not far behind Ouyang Qingya.

"why?"

"My husband's amnesia is very strange. By chance, a talented person told me that there was a lost magic that could dissolve blood and control the heart. If my husband had not loved me deeply, I am afraid that I would not be able to recover now."

Seeing Ouyang Qingya hesitating, Yueying smiled and said, “I know she has been with you for several years and there is some affection between you and her. I will only destroy her evil magic and not harm her life.”

"If there really is such a sorcery, I agree."

Sheng Shize has recovered somewhat in the past few days. He remembered that when he went to the back mountain of Yan's house to practice martial arts, he saw a girl trapped in a trap.

She had good intentions to save people, but was hit by someone instead. When she woke up, she was at Ouyang's house. The girl who hit her was Miss Ouyang's personal maid, who lied to her and said that she was the one who saved her.

Zhong Tianyang and the emperor planned a literary gathering for some young talents and noble ladies to meet each other. Although Yueying was married, she brought her good friends from her hometown to meet the world.

“Tianyang, these waves of people have done a good job.”

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

"That's over there?"

The emperor looked from afar and saw a row of paintings in the corner that looked like plum blossoms.

"General Sheng's daughter-in-law brought her friends from Jincheng to see the world. I saw that the girl's plum blossom paintings were lifelike, so I cleared a corner to hang her paintings."

Yueying saw that the emperor was indeed moving towards this side, so she asked Ouyang Qingya to start playing the piano.

"The girl is a beauty of heaven."

The young talents present all praised her.

When the song ended, Ouyang Qingya bowed to everyone to express her gratitude.
