Quick Wear: Male Supporting Role, Your Wife is Here, Do You Want Her?

Late at night, Jiang Wan was drowsy.

After what happened last night, the palace servants no longer dared to be lazy and stayed loyally by Jiang Wan's side.

Even though she was surrounded by enemies, Jiang Wan was still very sure that Pei Shaoqing would come to find her, so she forced herself to fight off her sleepiness and waited patiently.

It’s not that she didn’t want to sleep, but she was afraid of being woken up rashly. She would not be able to control the restlessness in her heart, and then she would go crazy at Pei Shaoqing.

Although she would feel irritated if she couldn't sleep because she was sleepy, drinking several cups of tea was much better than being woken up when she was sleeping soundly.

The palace servants outside the house had already changed shifts twice, but there was no movement inside the house. Jiang Wan couldn't help but wonder if he had estimated wrongly.

Just then, there were sudden regular knocking sounds from under Jiang Wan's bed.

The sound was very small. If Jiang Wan hadn't been lying pressed against the bed and able to feel the slight vibration, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to hear it even if they were in the same room.

Jiang Wan let down the bed curtains, covered himself tightly, and then knocked on the bed board in response without making a sound.

The next moment, Jiang Wan and the quilt on her body flipped over. The sudden feeling of being suspended in the air frightened Jiang Wan so much that she almost screamed. Pei Shaoqing hurriedly covered her mouth, grabbed her with one hand, and held her in his arms.

The space in the secret passage was very small, and the faint candlelight illuminated Pei Shaoqing's well-defined face. The moment Jiang Wan saw him, it was as if he had found his backbone, and his whole heart calmed down.

"How could there be a secret passage here?" Jiang Wan asked in a low voice.

Pei Shaoqing tilted his head slightly, his hot breath spraying on Jiang Wan's ear. He whispered, "In order to prevent the emperor from forcing his majesty to abdicate, this secret passage has long existed. Only a few people who are most loyal to His Majesty know about it. It was only before I entered the palace that my father told me about the secret passage."

Jiang Wan nodded hesitantly and asked about the mechanism that triggered the secret passage. With an extra guarantee for escape, how could he not feel at ease?

It was also because she had been raised personally by He Yunchao since she was a child, and those who were loyal to the imperial power had no chance to get close to him, so she had not known about the secret passage for a long time.

"Your Majesty, time is running out. I know you must have been forced by He Yunchao. You are the ruler of all people, how can you be coerced by that evil villain? Just say the word from you, and I will tear that evil villain into pieces!"

Jiang Wan was waiting for him to say this, but for the sake of her own life, she had to let Pei Shaoqing know how terrifying He Yunchao really was, so as to avoid underestimating the enemy and forcing He Yunchao to take desperate measures and directly kill her, the puppet emperor.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wan glanced at him calmly, tilted his head and looked aside, "But...but the Regent is my teacher, and everyone in the palace listens to him. The Regent said that if he didn't handle government affairs for me every day, I alone would not be able to hold on to the throne. And...and there is my temper. The imperial physician has checked me out. I am in good health, but I am violent by nature. Can someone like me really be a good emperor?"

"What!" Pei Shaoqing was shocked, "There is such a thing!"

He thought that he was disrespectful when he found out that the Regent was in control of all the affairs of the palace. He never expected that His Majesty had been in power for a long time, and the Regent was still handling the affairs of the court on His Majesty's behalf every day! Did he have no intention of returning the power to His Majesty?

The more Pei Shaoqing thought about it, the more frightened he became. Many rumors about His Majesty gradually became clear in his mind.

Why was it that when Her Majesty was in court, whenever the emperor mentioned matters big or small in the memorials, her answers were always incoherent? Outsiders simply thought that she was incompetent, but who would have thought that she had no chance to come into contact with the memorials at all?

Another thing is that Your Majesty is often manic and restless. In just a few days, he found something wrong. It didn't seem like a temper at all, but more like some uncontrollable illness. He looked up the case history of the late emperor, and found that the symptoms were 70% to 80% similar to Your Majesty's current symptoms!

Your Majesty is clearly suffering from illness, so why do the imperial doctors say that Your Majesty is in good health? And why does the Regent allow the palace maids to mock and provoke Your Majesty at will, aggravating her condition?

Combining all these factors together, the answer is obvious!

Pei Shaoqing had never thought that the Regent had great ambitions. He was clearly already in the highest position among the ministers, second only to the emperor, but he was still greedy and coveted the supreme throne!

However, His Majesty has been under his control for a long time, but they have not noticed it yet. They are just immersed in the false appearance presented by He Yunchao like outsiders, thinking that His Majesty is incompetent, tyrannical and useless, and a hopeless person. Every time they write letters to denounce His Majesty, they are afraid that they have become accomplices in aggravating His Majesty's illness!

Thinking about how His Majesty had been abused by He Yunchao since childhood, and all this was due to their negligence, Pei Shaoqing's heart ached as if it was being tortured.

He held Jiang Wan in his arms and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, you are not incompetent at all, nor are you cruel and inhumane. You will definitely become a wise ruler in the future. The most urgent task now is to deal with the traitor He Yunchao!"

"Please give the order, Your Majesty. I will pass the order to my father. Then, we will work together inside and outside to bring the evildoer to justice!"

Jiang Wan's face was full of doubts. "But, but before, whether I sent a message or something, the Regent always managed to intercept it. Can we... can we really do it?"

Jiang Wan saw from the light screen that Pei Shaoqing was sending a message to the outside of the palace by writing a letter. This was a hint at him. He was afraid that the letter would appear in front of He Yunchao before it even left the palace.

Pei Shaoqing fell into deep thought after hearing this. He hugged Jiang Wan tighter, leaned close to her ear, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, don't worry. I will definitely find a way to send the message out!"

Under He Yunchao's layers of defense, Pei Shaoqing was still able to sneak over to find her, which showed that he had some skills. Jiang Wan was very optimistic about him.

Since this opportunity was missed, it would be wasted. Jiang Wan did not hide anything and directly exposed all the weaknesses of Qiao Shannai and He Yunchao that he knew!

Speaking of Qiao Shannai, Jiang Wan's eyes flashed with sadness, "He Yunchao said before that he liked me, but since Qiao Shannai appeared, everything has changed. It was also because I went to cause trouble for her that He Yunchao let you enter the palace to be my husband..."

Upon hearing this, Pei Shaoqing seemed nonchalant, but his heart was secretly in a knot.

It turns out that His Majesty and He Yunchao have such a past...

He knew that it was not easy for him to judge, but when he thought of his identity as the emperor's husband, he immediately straightened his back a little, "Your Majesty is still young, how can you know what love is? It must be that evil villain He Yunchao who deceived you and tricked Your Majesty into falling deeply in love with him!"

Jiang Wan held back the corners of his mouth that he was about to suppress. Fortunately, it was dark in the secret passage and no one noticed.

She snuggled into Pei Shaoqing's arms again, "Yes, I originally thought I liked him, but it wasn't until I met Shaoqing that I knew what true love was..."
