Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

"Your Majesty must have a reason for this arrangement. Princess, why do you have to be obsessed with these insignificant matters? For now, you should..."

Before he could finish, I reached out and pinched his mouth, "If I don't want to hear it, don't say it."

He was trying to explain something stubbornly, and only managed to utter a few words after hesitating. I simply covered his mouth with my palm and made a gesture to silence him, "Shh - stop making noise. Instead of listening to your nonsense, it's better to listen to the night breeze, which is so beautiful."

Seeing that he didn't resist or struggle, I let go of his hand and continued, "You are his majesty's man, so your heart is naturally with him. I won't force you."

After saying this, I hugged my knees, buried my head in them, and pretended to be lost.

"Your Majesty only wants to protect the princess! He has no ill will towards her!"

It was a bit strange that he was so eager to defend Jiang Huan.

After pretending for a while, I secretly looked at him from under my arm. He kept his previous sitting position, looking into the distance, as if he was lost in thought. I didn't expect to get any information from him. This guy was good at torture, so he also knew how to keep secrets.

Although I don't know what it is, based on my experience of watching dramas and reading novels, something big is definitely going to happen in the capital. Once there is such a big commotion, it is indeed wise to stay away from the storm zone.

"After being in the wind for a while, I feel cold and sleepy. Please take me back to the bedroom." I raised my head, stopped pretending, and stretched out my hand to him.

He nodded, reached out to support me, took me into his arms, and jumped down from the height with me.

Although I have experienced it many times, I am still stimulated by the sudden feeling of weightlessness and tighten my arms unnaturally.

But he hadn't walked far with me in his arms when he ran into Wujiu and his group.

"Why is the princess here? It's so hard for me to find her."

Not long after we entered the palace, we divided our own residences according to the rules. Although Wujiu was nominally my consort, he did not live with me. It was just that when I had people prepare the banquet, he kept sticking to my side. If I hadn't insisted on going to the hot springs at the end, he would probably have followed me.

"Put me down." I patted Manager Zhou on the shoulder.

He glanced at me and then did as he was told.

Wujiu immediately stepped forward to take over, supporting my arm as if I had lost the ability to walk independently and was pushed away by me.

"No, I can walk by myself. I just drank a few too many glasses earlier and felt a little dizzy. Manager Zhou helped me get rid of the alcohol and I feel much better now. I'm tired and want to go back to rest. You don't have to follow me. Go and rest." As I said that, I tried to walk straight for a distance to verify my words.

Upon hearing this, the others really retreated, but Wujiu kept following me.

When we were almost there, I looked back at him and waved, "I don't need you to serve me tonight, go and have a rest."

"Then why is he here?" Wujiu looked unconvinced and pointed towards the yard.

Following the direction he pointed, I saw a figure sitting on the steps under the corridor. The other person also saw us and stood up to greet us.

When I got closer, I could see clearly that it was the mute slave, and he was holding medicine in his hand.

Perhaps noticing that I was staring at the medicine bowl, he quickly explained, "This is just a hangover soup, not medicine, and it's not bitter at all."

I finally breathed a sigh of relief and was about to take him into the house when Wujiu grabbed my sleeve from behind, "I have something to tell you, can you come in?"

"It's late at night and everyone is tired. Let's do it tomorrow," I declined.

"It's related to him, don't you want to know?" Wujiu pointed at the mute slave with a serious face.

I hesitated for a moment, but finally let him in.

The mute slave put down the sobering soup, glanced back and forth between me and Wujiu, and retreated hesitantly. Before leaving, he couldn't help but remind me to drink it first, otherwise it would become unpalatable after it got cold.

In front of him, I picked up the bowl of sobering soup and drank it in one gulp.

He left with his empty bowl, satisfied.

When the mute slave disappeared at the gate, Wujiu looked at me and said, "Sometimes I am a little jealous of that puppet."

"You said you wanted to tell me something about the mute slave. Just tell me directly, don't beat around the bush."

"If he was called the mute slave by you before, there is no such person in this world now. The puppet is just a puppet, not the original person. You should have noticed it."

"What are you talking about? I saw it with my own eyes. The process of his resurrection from the dead may have been caused by the use of some secret techniques of your Gu Master by mistake, but didn't you also say that the lifespan of a puppet is very short? The mute slave is not a puppet, he just changed some of his life methods!" I became angrier and angrier as I spoke, and even stepped forward to send him away, "If you just come to tell me this on purpose to ruin my mood, you can leave now!"

"Stop deceiving yourself. He is the way he is now only because you want him to be that way. Everything he has is given by you. There is no such thing as resurrection from the dead. He is just a puppet using his body."

I was silent. Actually, I had some concerns in my heart from the beginning, but I just didn't want to face it.

"How much blood did you feed him? You also put a life-control Gu on him. Do you know that even the most advanced Gu Masters dare not use these things easily? If they backfire on you one day, it will cost you your life. He is just a puppet, a plaything. Do you really care so much?"

"It's none of your business!" I was a little upset by his words and started yelling, "Is it your business? Who are you to me? Why are you so nosy?"

Wu Jiu instead looked at me with a sympathetic expression and replied gently, "You are my wife, your business is my business, I will not see you leaving the hidden dangers by your side and ignoring them."

"He is obviously alive..." I slowly lost the will to hold on and sat down on the ground with my legs limp.

Wu Jiu knelt beside me, "Your blood is an antidote and also a poison to him. If one day you don't have time to feed him with fresh blood, and he goes out and hurts other people, what will you do? Back then, Yuexi Gu Masters chose the dying wounded soldiers on the battlefield to make puppets, and used their flesh and blood to give the enemy a final blow. In order to protect their families, they were willing to sacrifice themselves and live in death. But your puppet is made from a dead body, which is unprecedented. If it gets out of control, the consequences will be disastrous."

I lowered my head and instinctively began to escape. I didn't want to listen to him anymore, so I raised my arms to cover my ears.

But Wu Jiu insisted on telling me, "I originally tried to find a solution for you to let him stay safely by your side, but I'm afraid it won't work. The puppets I've seen die in a very tragic way. He has lived for more than forty days, which is already beyond the limit of the puppet. You should think of a solution. Not only for yourself, but also for the deceased."
