Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

"Please wait for a moment, Princess. I will go and prepare the carriage." Ning Huozhu only brought one person with him, and they all came on horseback.

I was wearing a dress that made it difficult to ride a horse, but I was too lazy to wait any longer. "That's it. I'll ride on the same horse with you and we'll go back first."

"But Princess today..." He looked me up and down at my outfit, but was a little embarrassed to refute what I said, so he didn't finish his sentence.

Then he simply untied his cloak, covered me completely with it, and helped me onto the horse.

Afraid that I would be seen on the road while riding? From the palace gate to the princess's mansion, there were not many opportunities to meet ordinary passers-by, so he liked to follow the rules.

The bumps on the horse's back made me so uncomfortable that I closed my eyes several times, enduring the pain from the wound on my chest. When I got off the horse's back and returned home, I staggered and almost fell down.

Fortunately, Ning Huozhu caught me. He was surprised to find blood on my chest. "Why is there blood on the princess' wedding dress?"

They were all red, not very obvious, but it was probably because the wounds broke and bled on the way back.

"We'll talk later." I didn't have the energy to explain.

Ning Huozhu picked me up at the gate without giving a single thought and hurried in.

I only vaguely heard someone talking nearby, and the sound of dense footsteps and many figures approaching. I don't know what happened after that.

I woke up again the next morning. I subconsciously felt something under my neck. When I turned my head, I saw someone sleeping next to me. I was startled.

The other person also opened his eyes because of my movement and looked at me with a slight smile.

I squinted my eyes and saw his face clearly, "Wu Jiu! Why are you sleeping here?"

"Yesterday was our wedding day. Why am I here?"

I subconsciously shrank back and pulled his arm out from under my neck. However, because I had been resting my head on his arm for too long, his arm seemed to have lost all feeling. When I moved it suddenly, it felt numb and painful.

Seeing him frowning and trying hard to endure, I almost laughed out loud.

"You're still smiling. It looks like you're almost well." He turned over and lay on his side, massaging his arm while saying to me, "I rushed over from the palace early after you got injured yesterday. I saw you were unconscious at the time, and I was really worried."

"Do you know a Gu Master named Ha Lan?" If he hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have remembered it.

When he heard the name, his expression changed slightly. It was obvious that he knew the person, but he did not hide it and quickly admitted it.

"Speaking of which, I should call him Uncle Master, but he...has never had a good relationship with my master. He stopped associating with us many years ago. What's wrong? Did he provoke you?"

I didn't answer his question, but asked, "Did you see my wound?"

He propped up his head with his arms and looked down at me, "Of course I've seen it. I was the one who applied the medicine for you." As he said that, he directly ripped open my collar and pretended to take another look. I slapped the back of his hand to stop him from doing anything.

"He used my heart blood to refine the medicine to cure the poison. It turns out that all you Gu Masters know this method. So, I am called the Medicine Man because my blood can be used as medicine, right?"

I looked back at him calmly. He was still smiling, but his eyes looked a little guilty.

"I was confused then, but now I can't bear to let you go." He reached out to embrace me, but I pushed him away.

Then, I got up from the bed and prepared to wash and change clothes. Wujiu followed me and got off the bed. He came close to me, put his arms around my waist, and explained in a low voice in my ear, "Even if I have to use your blood to refine medicine, you have to be willing. I admit that I had some crooked ideas at the beginning, but now you and I are married. Most of the clansmen who followed me to Qi this morning have been sent back to Dayue. From now on, I am just a member of your princess's mansion..."

I pulled his hand away from my waist and said, "Okay, from now on you will be my guest. I will have someone take you to your own yard later."

"I am your consort after all! We just got married and we are sleeping in separate rooms. Isn't that inappropriate?"

"I will call you over when I need your service. You can leave now. I'm going to change my clothes." I pointed in the direction of the door and looked at him indifferently with my head turned sideways.

He put on a smile and said, "Okay, okay, just take good care of yourself. When you feel better, we'll..."

When I raised my foot to kick him, he quickly dodged, grabbed the boots in front of the bed, and ran out barefoot.

After a while, the maid outside came in and asked cautiously, "Did the princess quarrel with King Dayue just now? Was he driven out by the princess?"

I rubbed my temples, "From now on, there will only be the Prince Consort here, and there will be no Dayue King."

In just one morning, several groups of people came to my yard. Some came to ask for instructions on how to place Wujiu's Dayue attendants, some came to see the palace doctor for a follow-up examination, and some forced me to take medicine...

Just after noon, someone came to the palace. It was the chief steward Zhou who came in person, bringing the emperor's oral instructions and some rewards, all of which were precious medicinal herbs for nourishing the body.

Not many people knew that I was injured in the palace, and the matter also involved some information that Jiang Huan was not willing to announce to the public for the time being, so before the emperor's oral order was read out, everyone else in the room was sent out of the courtyard.

"His Majesty said that you, Princess, have worked hard. You should take good care of your injuries in the next few days. When His Majesty has finished his work, he will come to visit you in person."

I nodded perfunctorily, and seeing that he was still standing there, I thought he had something else to say.

After waiting for a while, he still didn't say anything.

"Did your Majesty say anything else?"

At this time, he seemed to come back to his senses, and his eyes fell on my face. "That's all. There have been many things going on in the court recently, and His Majesty will soon hold the ceremony to crown the Queen. I'm afraid he will be busy for a while. Princess... take care."

"Empress? Is the Queen Wei Yanting?" I asked curiously.

"That's right." He nodded.

"That should be quite lively. Fortunately I don't have to join in the fun." I was truly relieved.

Seeing that he was still there and had no intention of leaving, I half-jokingly said, "Master General, are you waiting for me to see you off in person? I'm afraid that I, an injured and sick man, am unable to move around easily and cannot see you off."

He looked a little embarrassed, took out a small bottle from his sleeve, took two steps forward, and placed it on the table next to me. "This is a painkiller developed by the imperial physician. It can be applied directly to the wound."

I picked up the bottle, uncorked it, and put it to my nose to take a sniff. Although I couldn't smell what the ingredients were, I still pretended to smell it.

"But I don't like using this method to relieve pain now. Medicine is poisonous. Whether it's for external application or internal use, I don't want it! Manager Zhou, what do you think we should do?"
