The female supporting role is really here to mess things up

Inside the Shangshu Mansion, the morning light was just beginning to appear, and the morning glow in the sky seemed to add a bit of splendor to today's event.

Lu Xingmu woke up from his dream that he had become the father-in-law of the emperor. Seeing that it was already bright outside, he quickly sent someone to the yard of his eldest daughter, Lu Shiyao.

The servants received orders from their master and rushed into action to dress up Lu Shiyao so that their golden phoenix could appear at the polo match in style.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Lu Xingmu remembered that he had a second daughter... He hurriedly asked someone to urge Lu Qingxi to pack up, fearing that she would delay her eldest daughter's going out.

In Lu Qingxi's yard, Xiaohuan whispered to her to wake up. Lu Qingxi opened her eyes dazedly and stared at Xiaohuan blankly.

"Miss, you promised the eldest lady that day to go to the banquet together, why don't you get up."

Hearing Xiaohuan's words, Lu Qingxi didn't care about her headache anymore and quickly got up to wash up. It was all her fault that she slept too long yesterday afternoon, which resulted in no sleep last night. She only closed her eyes and squinted for a while at dawn today.

I wanted to give up, but then I remembered that I had promised my elder sister before, and my role in promoting the heroine's plot seemed crucial... I decided to go anyway. At worst, I could find a corner to secretly sleep after I got there and promoted the plot. With the veil that Xiaohuan made for me, I thought it shouldn't be a big problem.

After washing and dressing up, Lu Shiyao and Lu Qingxi met at the gate of the mansion. They were stunned when they saw each other's clothes. They were originally of similar stature, and the dresses made by the embroiderer for them were quite similar. They looked more like a pair of sisters than usual.

The two sisters' dresses are both made of light gauze, flowing and charming, but the patterns are different, showing their unique styles.

Lu Shiyao's dress is embroidered with soft mountains and plum blossoms, with undulating mountains and plum blossoms dotted in between, and the whole picture is full of tranquility and elegance. This pattern not only highlights her gentle and introverted personality, but also gives people a sense of indifference and clarity of purpose.

Lu Qingxi's dress is embroidered with cool moonlight and flowing water, with the moonlight falling on the quietly flowing river, creating a sense of tranquility and remoteness. This pattern not only fits her cool temperament, but also looks noble and refined.

But today, Lu Qingxi still wore the veil that Xiaohuan prepared for her, but this one was thicker than the previous one. From the outside, only a rough outline could be seen, which was considered to be an effective way to cover her face.

"Second sister, are you going to wear a veil hat today? But today is the polo match...will it be hard to see clearly?" Lu Shiyao didn't know what to say when she saw the veil hat that her second sister wore specially today.

It feels a little bit prominent... However, it seems to be more prominent if I take it off... I just want to spend more time with her, not to cause trouble for her, so why not let my second sister stay at home... Before she could say anything, she heard what her second sister said.

"I feel more secure with this veil, don't worry, big sister. It's getting late, let's go." Lu Qingxi didn't want to attract those swarms of admirers because of her appearance. She was already annoyed in the real world, and now she was trying to avoid such things in the small world. Seeing the heroine standing there in a daze, she thought that the other party was still trying to persuade her to take off the veil, so she hurriedly urged him to leave.

After hearing what her second sister said, Lu Shiyao understood that her second sister also wanted to go out for a walk. And she had just thought about it and felt that her second sister was indeed safer with a veil. So she stopped persuading her. "Then let's go."

The two of them got into the sedan chair with their maids.

When the two arrived at the polo match, they naturally received a wave of attention. Lu Shiyao was needless to say, everyone knew that the most popular person in the capital now was the eldest daughter of the Lu family with the Phoenix fate.

But Lu Qingxi at the side was confused because of the veil on her head... After everyone heard Lu Shiyao call the woman whose face could not be seen "second sister", they all realized who the slim woman in front of them was.

The men who had previously been attracted by the woman's graceful figure all changed their expressions... The second daughter of the Lu family had a reputation for hitting her own sister, and she was not very good-looking...

One of them actually felt cheated because he learned that Lu Qingxi's identity was so different before and after, and he hated Lu Qingxi for no reason and slandered him regardless of the occasion.

"That's the second young lady of the Lu family. Why is she wearing a veil to attend the banquet? Is it because her face is disfigured that she dares not see anyone?" The voice was neither loud nor soft, but loud enough for people around to hear.

"Maybe he did something shameful and is afraid of being recognized." Another person took over the conversation, his tone full of sarcasm.

Lu Qingxi heard the words around him and felt the malice coming from those people. Although he felt a little unhappy, many of the things he did were actually done by his original body. In addition, he was still groggy from lack of sleep, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Xiaohuan was so angry that she wanted to take action. If her young lady didn't want to show up, she really wanted to lift her young lady's veil and let them see what a beauty is!

Standing not far away, Lu Shiyao saw her sister being treated like this, and she was filled with anger. She knew her sister's current personality and knew that she had become completely different from before. So, she walked forward and walked towards the crowd of people who were making malicious speculations.

"Everyone, please listen to me." Lu Shiyao's voice was clear and powerful. She looked directly at those who were whispering and continued:

"My sister wears a veil not because her appearance is damaged or she has done anything shameful. It's because... she is allergic to pollen recently and can't be exposed to the wind. I hope everyone will not make malicious speculations, let alone spread false information."

The people present believed Lu Shiyao's words to some extent, only they themselves knew. But no one said anything, this action was more out of respect for Lu Shiyao's status. After all, although the fathers of the people present were all officials above the fifth rank, the one in front of them was the future queen, whose status was too noble to be mentioned. Everyone knew that even the imperial concubines in the palace were deliberately trying to curry favor with her, so naturally no one dared to step forward to refute her words.

Lu Qingxi felt the change in the atmosphere around her and breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't tell anyone that she didn't do what her original body did, and she was afraid that she would have to bear the blame forever.

At this moment, the heroine came forward to rescue herself and had the situation under control. She looked at Lu Shiyao gratefully, knowing that the other party could not see her expression clearly, so she reached out and held Lu Shiyao's hands.

Lu Shiyao also smiled and nodded to her, holding her hand in return, the warmth of her palm constantly passing to her, as if telling her: "Don't worry, I'm here."

Then the two of them went hand in hand to the seats for the women.

After sitting for a while, Lu Qingxi stood up. The purpose of coming to the polo club today was not to see handsome guys, nor to watch the game. She had to help the heroine push the plot forward.

I already had a headache today because I didn't sleep all night, and I was just being framed by someone else, which made me a little angry. I walked a few more steps, and my mind was suddenly a mess. I quickly pinched the handkerchief in my hand, thinking that I had to find Xue Ji quickly while I was still awake, and then lead the heroine over.

So he quickly asked Xiao Huan to help him up, told Lu Shi Yao that he wanted to go out for a walk, and left the place. He thought that if Xue Ji was bullied in private, he would be in a corner... So he took Xiao Huan and walked along the wall.

As soon as she left, the polo club suddenly became lively.

The Crown Prince and the King of Qi appeared at the polo club one after another, and their arrival immediately caused a sensation. Before that, the other guests had already taken their seats and the atmosphere was already quite lively.

The eldest princess brought Princess Lening to the two princes and greeted each other. The two princes were particularly concerned about Princess Lening's health. After hearing the news that she had recovered, they comforted her and gave each of them the gifts their mothers had asked them to bring.

With the appearance of the two princes, the atmosphere on the scene reached a climax. The female relatives showed excitement, some whispered, and some directly and boldly cast admiring glances. The demeanor of the crown prince and the king of Qi undoubtedly became a highlight of this polo match.

On the other hand, although Xue Ji was not invited, he cleverly disguised himself as his good brother's follower and wore a servant's clothes, so that he was able to enter the polo club.

His good brother Han Chi was the only son of Han Duwei, who served under his father. Although his official rank was lower, he was also selected as a contestant because he was the son of a military commander.

Xue Ji originally planned to replace Han Chi to show his style and restore the reputation of the Xue family. By the way, he also wanted Zhao Lexuan, whom he had not seen for a long time, to see him and then go to the mansion to find his eldest brother. The three of them grew up together, and he still hoped that the three of them would get along well. However, he did not expect that all this was calculated by Wang Xu.

Wang Xu was very smart. He had already noticed the appearance of Xue Ji and his good brother Han Chi, and secretly sent people to follow them. He specially sent people to inform the two to change their clothes for the competition in advance, in fact, to implement his plan.

When Wang Mu saw Han Chi walking out of the room in servant's clothes, he ordered people to release smoke into the room where Xue Ji was. After hearing the sound of someone falling down inside, he listened at the door for a while, and confirmed that there was no more sound before he lifted the door curtain a little and looked inside. He saw only Xue Ji lying on the ground.

Wang Xu asked someone to lift the door curtain first, and let Ah Ye in after making sure the smell of the smoke had dissipated. Ah Ye entered the room, squatted beside Xue Ji, and lifted up Xue Ji's eyelids, and saw that his eyeballs had enlarged and lost focus. Ah Ye confirmed that he was really hypnotized, and then he stood up and walked to Wang Xu outside the door to report everything.

Wang Xu was relieved, and asked Ah Ye to come closer and whispered in his ear, "Find a secluded place to do it, don't let anyone see you." Then he immediately walked away to prepare for the game.

After hearing the master's order, Ah Ye immediately waved his hand and asked the servants to tie Xue Ji's hands and feet and put him into a sack. Then he asked the four servants to secretly carry the person in the sack, and he walked in front to lead the way, leading the four people to the wall.

After a long while, he finally found an empty corner and asked someone to throw the sack on the ground. Ah Ye nodded to a few people and walked away.

The few people didn't intend to waste time. When they saw Ah Ye was out of sight, the leader of the four raised his foot and kicked the sack hard. Since Wang Xu had ordered him to hit him hard before, he didn't use any strength to kick.

Xue Ji in the sack had been completely awake since the moment he was thrown to the ground. As the son of a general, Xue Ji was naturally more alert than others. After he changed his clothes, he had already noticed that the atmosphere outside was not right. Just as he was about to walk towards the door, he saw the incense blowing in from outside. He immediately stopped and held his breath. It was a pity that the incense that was blowing in was specially found by Wang Xu. The medicinal properties of this incense were extremely strong, and it blew towards Xue Ji's face, so Xue Ji still inhaled some of it.

Because he inhaled very little, he still had a trace of sanity left after falling to the ground, so he pretended to be completely unconscious and eavesdropped on their conversation so as to determine who was going to attack him.

Unfortunately, the other party was too cautious and didn't let him hear any movement. Now he was awake, and when he felt the pain from his body, he shouted out. "Who are you? How dare you hit me? Are you tired of living?"

Although several servants were surprised that the other party woke up so quickly, they still spoke according to their master's previous instructions.

"Don't you know who you have offended? Isn't your elder brother enjoying himself with a beautiful woman by his side? How dare you come to this place and offend the owner? If not you, who will I beat?"

After that, several people deliberately avoided the head and started punching and kicking, again and again, it seemed that there was no end. Since the master said that he would beat the man half to death, they felt relieved to do it.

After going around in circles for a long time, Lu Qingxi finally arrived at the crime scene. He was so shocked by the scene before him that he stood there in a daze.

In a dim corner, four servants were surrounding the sack on the ground. Their movements were swift and brutal, without any mercy. Every time a fist landed, it was accompanied by a dull sound, like the sound of a heavy object hitting a soft object, which was heart-pounding.

Their movements were very skillful, obviously they had gone through long-term training or similar experiences. One of the attendants kicked the sack, causing it to shake, and Xue Ji inside groaned in pain. Another attendant quickly swung his fist, hitting the sack with a sound of wind, and every heavy blow seemed to make the sack burst.

The air around them seemed to become tense because of their actions, and every blow was accompanied by Xue Ji's muffled groans and weak struggles. The servants had no expression on their faces, and their eyes were cold and firm, as if they were doing something insignificant.

The whole scene is filled with violence and cruelty, which makes people shudder. Xue Ji endured it all helplessly in the sack.

Lu Qingxi's mind went blank, and her hand holding the handkerchief gradually loosened... She couldn't even think about the plot, or the love story between the heroine and the supporting actor. She just shouted on the spot. "What are you doing! Hurry up and help! Hurry up and save them!"

When the servants saw the noise, they wanted to go forward and tie up the master and servant, but they saw someone else coming behind them, dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing a crown on her head. It must be Princess Lening. They hurriedly ran in the other direction.

At this time, Xue Ji in the sack had been beaten to the point of losing consciousness. When he heard the woman's voice outside, he knew that he was rescued, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

Lu Qingxi quickly asked Xiaohuan to help untie the rope at the mouth of the sack, and the two of them worked together to release Xue Ji from the sack. Xue Ji, whose hands and feet were tied, was in a state of utter disgrace: not only did he have several scratches on his right eye and right cheek from being thrown to the ground, but his blue coat, which originally represented the blue team, was also worn out and had threads everywhere.

His fists were swollen and bloody between his knuckles, obviously from being hit hard by someone. From those bloody holes, you could vaguely see the white bones, which was chilling. His feet were also covered with bruises and scars, obviously from being kicked by someone.

Xue Ji's face was pale, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, mixing with the blood on his face, forming a miserable picture. His breathing was weak and rapid, and every breath was accompanied by trembling and groaning.

Seeing this, Lu Qingxi was about to ask Xiaohuan to find someone when she heard a delicate female voice coming from beside her.

"You hand him over to this princess."

After saying that, without waiting for Lu Qingxi to reply, he instructed his maid, "Hurry up and ask Imperial Doctor Zhang to go to mother's tent and send my brother... Second Master Xue over as well."

When Lu Qingxi heard the woman's words, he did not hesitate and immediately asked Xiaohuan to hand the person over to the person on the other side.

Before leaving, Xue Ji tried hard to open his eyes, wanting to see the woman's face clearly. However, because he didn't have the strength to lift his head, he could only see the hem of the woman's skirt with his eyes open. The hem of the skirt was covered by a veil, and he could vaguely see some water ripples under the veil. He wanted to raise his eyes to take a closer look, but he fell into a coma in the next second.
