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

"What do you mean by returning to your roots?"

Yueying looked at the prince's ambiguous eyes and felt as if her skin was being peeled off and looked at, which was a bit creepy.

The prince restrained his smile, took the folding fan in his hand, and tapped Yueying's bun.

"I guess I didn't miss it, which is good."

"What the hell!"

Yueying was a little annoyed, her face flushed, she stomped her feet, and left with Doukou.

The prince was right. If they were just bandits gathered by the disaster victims, it was impossible for them to confront the government soldiers head-on. Moreover, they were actively provoking. It was highly likely that these people were instructed by someone or were recruited as private soldiers.

But Yueying was thinking in her heart that these were the people she had saved from the epidemic, and she really didn’t want them to be wiped out like this.

After the banquet, Prince Yu was thinking about how to make the emperor less angry.

The son had returned triumphantly this time, and it was a great joy to see that a good father will have a good son. But who would have thought that he would run into bandits in the end? It was said that he was saved by a miracle doctor.

In the imperial study, the emperor asked Rong Sheng'an about the situation at that time. The final losses of the left vanguard troops were similar to the conclusion drawn after the main force returned. He still couldn't help but frowned.

Seeing the situation, Prince Yu couldn't help but mention that his youngest son almost lost his life. Only then did the emperor show some different expressions on his face.

"Send the Imperial Doctor to take a look."

"Your Majesty, I happened to meet a miracle doctor who helped me, and now I am fine."

"Let the imperial physician come and take a look, then I'll feel at ease."

Judging from Yueying's attitude towards the boy from the Rong family in the hall, and with some selfish motives, the emperor has made up his mind to make Rong Shengan his consort. He almost lost his life this time. What if he gets hurt somewhere that shouldn't be hurt...

Unable to resist the emperor, Rong Sheng'an accepted the examination of the imperial physician.

"Your Majesty, although the general has many wounds, some of which appear to be quite deep, they have been properly treated and the herbs used should be very good. They have all scabbed over, and judging from his pulse, there is nothing wrong with his health."

"Have you checked everything carefully? Sheng An is a rare military commander. Don't let him have any problems. He needs to have more generals for me."

The emperor's words were very blunt. Although the imperial doctors found them strange, they did not dare to speculate.

Others did not know the emperor's plan, but when Prince Yu heard this, he had an idea. In the hall, the emperor asked the divorced princess to help him and his son up, and he could not help but silently figure out how to deal with the situation next.

After the imperial physician confirmed that Rong Sheng'an was in good health and left, there was silence in the imperial study for a while.

Suddenly, the emperor spoke and asked how he planned to deal with the bandits.

Prince Yu felt sorry for his injured son and rushed to speak up, planning to lead troops to eliminate the banditry.

Rong Sheng'an was waiting for his father to finish his reply before volunteering, but he didn't expect the old emperor to directly pick up his father's words.

"Let's leave these things to the young people. Sheng'an should take good care of himself these days. When you are fully healed, go and deal with this matter."

Once the emperor spoke, the father and son had no choice but to obey his orders.

Prince Yu was worried all the way, one thing was about suppressing the bandits, the other was about the divorce of the princess.

"Your Highness, a young eunuch just sent a letter inviting the young general to a gathering tomorrow."

"Father-in-law?"

When Prince Yu heard that this had something to do with the imperial palace, his head began to throb.

"It's the prince."

Rong Shengan opened the post and was a little confused, so he handed it to Prince Yu.

"Forget it, go and call Ping'er."

Prince Yu waved his hand and asked the butler to find the prince.

"What do you two brothers think about the current political situation?"

"What does this mean, father?"

As soon as he sat down, the prince heard his father ask such a serious question.

"Alas, Prince Yu's Mansion has always been loyal to the Emperor and does not want to get involved in factional disputes. But today, the Emperor's intention to grant the marriage was too obvious, and the Crown Prince suddenly lost his temper and rushed to send a visiting card as soon as he came back."

"Father, the Crown Prince is the heir to the throne. To be disrespectful, if something happens to the Emperor, he will be the legitimate successor."

Rong Shengping glanced at his brother and said calmly.

"An'er? Tell me what you think."

"Father, please forgive me for being unfilial."

Rong Shengan was a little ashamed. No matter what, he would stand on the side of the prince, as long as the princess needed it. Although he knew that this would be the result if he asked, Prince Yu still sighed and waved his hand, wanting to stay alone for a while.

On the second day, in Zuixian Tower.

"General Rong, please come in."

The servant led Rong Shengan into the VIP room.

"See His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Okay, stop with all the formalities and sit down."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Rong Shengan looked up but didn't see the person he was expecting, and felt a little disappointed.

"I haven't seen you for a few years. Sheng'an looks much healthier now."

Seeing Rong Shengan's little movements after entering the door, the prince smiled slightly.

"Practice martial arts every day, and don't dare to slack off."

"Aren't you anxious to make a contribution and come back to snatch the bride?"

The prince teased.

"I don't understand what Your Highness means."

Rong Shengan still couldn't help it, and some red could be seen on his wheat-colored face.

"Oh~ Sheng'an doesn't understand what I mean. Then I will go back to the palace and tell my father that the young general has no intention of me..."

"Your Highness! Princess Sheng An Xin Yue."

"Hahaha... that's enough. I am very happy that my little sister has found a good home."

"Oh, right, let's talk business. Sheng An may not know that two years ago, Chenzhou and Luozhou suffered from severe droughts. At that time, victims continued to pour into the suburbs of Beijing. Later, the plague was rampant. Although the plague was controlled, the resettlement of a large number of victims returning home did not seem to be resolved."

As he spoke, the prince took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to Rong Shengan.

"These are the reports from the Ministry of Revenue, these are archived in the government office, and there are also records of return from prefectures and counties. I checked a few small counties and none of them matched."

"So Your Highness suspects that those bandits were the victims of the disaster?"

Rong Shengan frowned. It seemed that this matter involved more things than he had expected.

"It's hard to say whether they are bandits or private soldiers. After all, those who dare to attack the army can't be a mob."

"Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness."

"Then you are thanking the wrong person. The imperial sister is shy, and it was she who thought of letting me tell you."

Rong Shengan was stunned for a moment, then he could no longer control his expression and started to smile foolishly.

Yueying didn't expect that she would be betrayed by the prince.

After the banquet, Yueying wanted to avoid the male and female protagonists, but because her good friend Pei Qingqing was about to get married, she did not leave the capital.

This Pei Qingqing is the legitimate daughter of the imperial physician Pei. In the original text, when Doukou couldn't find the imperial physician before Yueying died, Pei Qingqing saw her crying miserably, so she secretly disguised herself as a man and pretended to be a small medical officer to go to the Lin Mansion to help the princess see the last illness.

So in this life, when Yueying was wandering around the Imperial Hospital, she met Doctor Pei, and she remembered this person. She used the excuse that she needed to bring a female doctor to study with her and asked Pei Qingqing to meet her.

Because Qingqing was also interested in studying medicine, the two of them hit it off. In recent years, he occasionally took her to treat folks among the people, and their relationship became closer.

Now, Pei Qingqing is getting married to Li Shoubei, so Yueying packed a big box of goodies and gave it to her best friend.

Pei Qingqing's husband is already a fifth-rank official at a young age. Coincidentally, he is also valued by Rong Shengan. Qingqing must have a good life if she follows him. Yueying is very happy for her.

"Didn't they just say that the princess has arrived? Where is she?"

Pei Qingqing had a sweet look on her face as she sat in front of the dressing table, letting a woman who had given birth to several boys comb her hair. It was said that this was for good luck.

"The princess just sent this box over, saying it was for Miss's makeup. Today is a big day, so it's inconvenient for her to come to Miss's side. She will come to chat with Miss in a few days."

As she spoke, Ruyi helped her young lady open the lid. First, she opened the title deed to a herbal medicine shop in the city. In the compartments below, there were several layers of many gold and silver jewelry.

"This box is really well made, layer upon layer, full of good stuff."

The busy maids behind them took a look at the things in the box and sighed in their hearts that the relationship between the princess and the young lady was really good.

A large box of things, all of which are top-quality items, is probably worth several times more than the dowry prepared for the young lady by the mansion.

Qingqing likes to fiddle with herbal medicine books and has never had much interest in jewelry, so when she saw this box of things, although she knew it was very valuable, she didn't care too much.

The old nanny in the family took a look and became a little uneasy. She turned around and ran to find Madam Pei.

"Qingqing, I heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess sent you a box of jewelry?"

"mother."

Mrs. Pei was somewhat tempted when she saw those jewelry, mainly because the rank of the imperial physician was not high, and the salary was not high, and the extra money was only a reward when the nobles got married.

When Qingqing got married this time, her family was considered to be marrying up, so they prepared a lot of dowry. However, there were two other daughters in the family who were also of marriageable age. So when she saw the things given by the princess, she couldn't help but want to give some to the other girls in the family.

"Qingqing, you see, for your marriage this time, mother gave you most of the dowry, just because she was afraid that you would be wronged. But now the princess is giving you this dowry, otherwise..."

Mrs. Pei couldn't take her eyes off those bracelets and hairpins.

"Mother, when the princess gets married, I have to return the favor. But you've given some of your daughters dowries differently, and you've really treated my sisters unfairly. I can..."

"It's mother who is confused. It's Qingqing's big day, stop thinking about these things."

When Mrs. Pei heard her eldest daughter mention returning the gift, she suddenly realized that the things given by the princess could not be withheld casually.

As for the dowry that was originally prepared, it is even more impossible to withhold it now. The dowry list has been checked and it cannot be made again in a short time.

This little incident would have passed like this, but unexpectedly, the servants spread the gossip and it soon reached the courtyard of the second young lady and the cousin of the Pei family.

It was said that the garrison commander was a person favored by General Rong, so the princess gave his new bride a box of dowry filled with goodies, which was equivalent to the dowry of many daughters of third or fourth rank officials.

It was also rumored that the eldest daughter took most of the dowry that the Pei family had prepared for the other three daughters. Mrs. Pei hoped that the eldest daughter would give some to her younger sisters, but Pei Qingqing refused.

The hosts were busy with their work in a cheerful mood, and no one paid any attention to the servants who were working and talking non-stop.

After Yueying finished giving her best friend some makeup, she stood in the yard for a while and then took a car to Li Yuan's mansion to wait for the ceremony.

After a while, the bride and groom entered Li's mansion.

After all, he was considered a capable assistant of the Prince's party, and many people came to congratulate him. Just as the newlyweds paid homage to the heavens, the earth, and their parents and were about to be sent to the bridal chamber, they heard a crisp sound coming from the gate of the mansion.

"Wait a minute!"

The guests turned to look at the source of the sound. Yueying frowned. She had watched too many novels and TV shows, so she always disliked this kind of drama of robbing the bride before the wedding. If there is a problem, you don't solve it long ago, but have to embarrass others at the last minute.

"Chen Qiyu?"

Yueying heard the voice coming from above her head and looked up slightly. Rong Shengan was standing beside her with a look of surprise on his face.

Chen Qiyu... isn't that the name of the heroine? Yueying stared at the person who came and took a closer look. This person looks... really similar to the original owner. If modern makeup technology is used, it should be easy to make the two of them look like twins.

Yueying muttered quietly, this is too unscientific, a military doctor who has been exposed to the wind and sun on the frontier has no sun spots or cracks on his skin, and the heroine's facial skin only looks slightly darker.

"Today's wedding, please all the adults be witnesses. The eldest daughter of the Pei family is getting married. Because she has a good personal relationship with the princess of the current dynasty, she forcibly robbed her sisters of their dowry. Is this reasonable?"

The heroine became famous in the original text because of her medical skills. She quickly discovered and treated the poisoned soldiers during the war, performed extraordinary deeds, and was directly named a princess. Then, with the support of the hero, she returned to the capital and complained to everyone and everything, and won the attention of several men.

Then, because of the heroine's kindness, and the more or less nostalgia or guilt those people felt towards the princess, they gradually became the heroine's protectors.

"Miss..., today is a big day for our Li family. If you have anything to say, please take a seat first. We can discuss it privately later. How about that?"

Old Madam Li stood up and said to Chen Qiyu.

"The more we argue, the clearer the right and wrong will be. Today, with Her Royal Highness the Princess and General Rong here, why don't we make it clear to avoid being held responsible in the future."

Yueying was suddenly called out, feeling speechless, but she had to put on a dignified and calm smile, then glanced at Rong Shengan who was also called out, signaling him to appease the heroine first, and not to mess up her big day.

"Ahem, Miss Chen, these are family matters in the back house. We can discuss them after the banquet is over and we can sit down to discuss them. Please take your seats now."

Rong Sheng'an received the princess's gaze, understood what she meant, and spoke slowly. Although he was talking to Chen Qiyu, his eyes were fixed on Yueying at the time, and his tone was slow, just to see if what he said would misunderstanding the princess's meaning.

Yueying also forced a smile at the heroine, then sat upright and nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with what the hero said.

"As expected, relying on the princess's power, you can do whatever you want."

"Excuse me, young lady, you said Qingqing robbed the sisters' dowry. What evidence do you have?"

Yueying didn't want to argue with the heroine, but she had no choice but to speak up because the brainless heroine didn't give anyone face.

"Both Pei Luoluo and Miss Zhang Biao can testify."

"Go, hurry up and invite Madam Pei and the two young ladies."

It was a wonderful wedding banquet, but now there are many people gathered at the gate of Li’s house to watch the show.
