Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book
Chapter 262 Return to Beijing and the Palace
The mute slave and I returned to the capital first and went to the private residence.
I wanted to pass the message back to the princess's mansion and have Caiyin bring people to pick me up and exchange it with me.
Unexpectedly, after the message was passed on, the people who came were not from the princess's mansion, but a team of royal guards.
When I saw the silver armor, I thought to myself, I’m in big trouble this time.
There are some guards in the private residence who know Kung Fu, but they are no match for the Imperial Guards. Although I now have some means of self-protection, considering the people behind the other side, I decided to admit defeat.
I asked my men to retreat first, and confirmed with the other team leader that as long as I went with them, they would not touch anyone in the house.
That night, I was brought into the palace and led to a remote palace.
I thought I would see an angry Jiang Huan here, but I didn't expect it to be just a quiet place like the cold palace. There were no palace maids or eunuchs, and there were only two imperial guards guarding outside the palace gate, which was equivalent to putting me under house arrest.
If I wanted to escape, it shouldn't be a problem, but I roughly guessed what Jiang Huan was thinking.
He already knew that I was going to Youzhou, so he wanted to teach me a lesson. After all, he was no longer Prince Yu, but the ruler of the world. How could he tolerate someone going behind his back and disrupting his plans?
A night passed, and when I woke up from a daze, I heard some noise outside the door. When I got up to check, I saw a little eunuch hurriedly leaving. There was a food box on the steps at the entrance of the main hall, which contained hot food, a total of four dishes, and a soup bowl.
The food is pretty good.
I carried the food box in. Although it was a situation like being in the cold palace, it was not the worst for me.
Apart from someone coming to deliver food and soup for three meals a day, no one else showed up. The only thing that made me uncomfortable was washing and solving personal problems. There was a well in the yard where I could draw water, but there was no place to boil hot water. There was a toilet in the bathroom, but no one came to clean it. It would have been nice if there was a dry toilet.
Fortunately, I was only imprisoned for two days before a palace maid told me to get ready because His Majesty wanted to see me.
In this hot weather, I already feel like I'm going rancid.
So I tactfully expressed my desire to tidy myself up. The unfamiliar palace maid's eyes flashed with disdain, and her tone became impatient, "I'll give you a cup of tea." Well, I originally wanted to fight for the right to change clothes, but it seems that I can only wash myself casually with well water.
The palace maid led the way in front, and as they walked, they found that the route seemed familiar.
Sure enough, when I saw the words "Jinhua Palace" on the plaque, I realized what was going on.
Is Jiang Huan meeting me here to remind me of something?
After I walked in, I saw Twelve, or should I call him Manager Zhou, standing in the yard. He signaled to me with his eyes that Jiang Huan was in the main hall and asked me to go in alone.
The layout here is exactly the same as when I first lived here. It looks very clean, so someone must come to clean it regularly.
After Jiang Huan ascended the throne, although there were many new people in the harem, there were still many vacant palaces in the harem. The Jinhua Palace was not in use, and there was no need to keep it as it was.
Before I could open my mouth, the person sitting in the main seat in the hall spoke first, "You went out for a while, and you don't even know how to call people?"
Jiang Huan was wearing casual clothes and no crown, which reminded me of the time when he was traveling as Prince Yu. However, the person in front of me was too different from what I remembered. The emperor's aura of majesty without even getting angry made me feel a sudden increase of pressure.
I really couldn't figure out his temper, so I took two steps forward, knelt down and bowed deeply. I thought I was being respectful, but before my head hit the floor, my arms were pulled up.
He frowned, "Does being my sister make you feel rude?"
As he spoke, veins popped out on the back of his hand that was holding my wrist, as if he was using a lot of strength, but I didn't feel any pain. Instead, I began to feel some doubts about his question.
Just as I was about to answer, I heard him continue, "It seems that you don't think you are wrong, so just keep it locked up."
"No..." When I saw him loosen his hand and was about to walk around me and leave, I hurriedly explained, "Brother, please calm down. I know I was wrong!"
"Oh? Then tell me, what's wrong?" Jiang Huan turned around and looked at me with his chin raised.
When it comes to coaxing people, I always seem a little clumsy, at a loss for words, or haven't finished my speech yet.
"Prince Dayue came to the palace this morning and asked me to marry you. He also said that he was willing to live in Qijing for a long time to accompany you. Did you agree to it?" Seeing that I couldn't say anything, he changed the subject.
Judging from the time, Wujiu should be back in the capital, but he can't wait at all.
"I didn't agree!" I didn't think I could hide the fact that I secretly left Beijing from Jiang Huan. Now it depends on his mood and whether he is willing to get to the bottom of it.
"But he said that he and you are already husband and wife, and asked me to help him!" Jiang Huan said this with a smile, but there seemed to be some anger in his eyes, which made me nervous.
Ah, this... are Wu Jiu and I already husband and wife? How come I didn't know? Although it seems that we have had some intimate contact at a negative distance, he was only serving me unilaterally. But for the ancients, this can also be considered a true husband and wife, right?
Jiang Huan saw my hesitant expression. I don’t know what irritated him, but he suddenly got angry. He pinched my chin and forced me to raise my face to look at him.
"Can anyone be one?" he asked me through gritted teeth.
Are you blaming me for my messy private life that has affected the reputation of the royal family? But big brother, when you were a prince, you were discussing marriage with someone while having an affair with a prostitute. Everyone in the capital knew about it. How dare you scold me?
Without waiting for me to argue, he let go of my hand first, looked like he was very angry with me, shook his sleeves, turned around and left.
When he went out, he sternly instructed the palace servants to keep a close eye on the place and not allow anyone to enter or leave.
What he meant was that I was moved to another place and put under house arrest.
I followed him to the door and saw two guards coming forward to close the door. Twelve in the yard looked at me worriedly, seemed to want to say something but stopped himself, and quickly followed Jiang Huan and left.
I was left alone in the room, completely bewildered. I originally thought Jiang Huan was angry with me because of Youzhou, but now it seems that he is even more angry at me for having a casual relationship with a man and a woman. But this time I will not endure it obediently. When there is no sound outside, I will find an opportunity to sneak out through the window.
Now that I have the support of internal energy, I can also perform the light skill of jumping two or three feet high on the spot. Although I am not very proficient, I can still climb over the wall and get on the roof without any problem.
