Quick Wear: I am a good female supporting role

After the court doctor examined Shiyan, he left her some medicine for wounds. Qiu Tong picked up the bottle of medicine, poured out the medicine inside, and gently applied it on Shiyan's injured buttocks.

"Hiss—it hurts so much." Shi Yan was stimulated by the pain and tears came out of her eyes.

Qiu Tong heard her cry out in pain and moved her hands more gently, "How could you be so foolish? You should be more careful when you act in the palace."

The unspoken meaning was very obvious. Every time the Empress entered the palace, she would always target the princess more or less. She had noticed this at ordinary times, but she had never expected that Shiyan, who was also a maid, was so unvigilant that she fell into the trap and almost harmed the princess.

"How would I know? Since you didn't enter the palace today and don't know the whole story, don't blame me, okay?" Shi Yan also felt a little uncomfortable. She and Qiu Tong were supposed to enter the palace today, but Qiu Tong stayed in the mansion while she was robbed in the palace.

If Qiu Tong entered the palace, she would definitely remind her that she would never accept the pearl.

Maybe it was Qiu Tong who suffered this disaster, and I just blocked it for her. Not only did I not comfort her, but I was blaming her in my words. Why did I do this?

"As servants, we must be more vigilant and loyal to our masters. The princess was kind-hearted in what happened today. If it were any other master, after you were taught a lesson by the queen, I'm afraid you would be punished again."

There was no way she would be allowed to return home. She should stay in the house and receive treatment from the palace doctor.

Shiyan was not convinced in her heart, but no matter how stupid she was, she knew that she must not say such words aloud, so she remained silent.

Qiu Tong thought she had listened to him and gave her medicine.

The princess was about to come back, so she had to go back to serve her. She hurriedly packed up the medicine bottles, said hello to Shiyan, and left.

Mo Shushan had been standing at the door waiting eagerly. The servants looked at him eagerly and couldn't help but sigh quietly, saying that the prince consort really liked the princess.

As soon as Shen Lingruo returned home, she lifted the curtain and prepared to get off the carriage. Mo Shushan came forward and held her hand that was holding the edge of the carriage.

Only her dark blue sleeves were touched, but Shen Lingruo did not react. After all, she and her husband were newlyweds outside and there was no gap between them.

Ren Jiubai's eyes were deeply fixed on Mo Shushan's hand that was holding Shen Lingruo's sleeve.

I find it an eyesore for some reason and want to cut it off.

After getting off the carriage, Shen Lingruo pulled out her hand, and Mo Shushan stood shoulder to shoulder with her, "Princess, I'm afraid what happened today is aimed at you."

"Ah."

"The maid is loyal and was injured for your sake. Why don't you reward her with some gifts to reassure everyone." Mo Shushan's words were very clear. He wanted to gain a good reputation for Shiyan.

After all, there is a huge difference between being injured for the master and being tricked for money.

He turned left and right, just for Shiyan. Shen Lingruo was not annoyed when she heard it. She had an intriguing smile on her face, "The prince consort seems to care about my maid very much."

Mo Shushan's heart tightened, thinking that Her Royal Highness the Princess wouldn't notice anything. "How could that be? I am only doing this for the Princess."

"Really?" Shen Lingruo smiled.

"Yes." Mo Shushan gritted his teeth. He guessed that Shen Lingruo would definitely not be able to see through his little thoughts, so now he could only deny it even if he was beaten to death.

"I understand." He just said he understood, without taking any further action.

Mo Shushan didn't dare to say anything more. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the man with a green-faced and fang-toothed mask standing behind Shen Lingruo. He felt that he looked unfamiliar. His attention was all on Shen Lingruo, so he ignored Ren Jiu.

"Your Highness, who is this?"

Hearing his question, Shen Lingruo smiled at him, seeming to be in a good mood, "This is my newly found guard."

Guard? Mo Shushan's eyes flashed. The guard looked tall and wore a mask with green face and fangs. Why would the princess look for a guard from outside?

Feeling somewhat puzzled, Mo Shushan also spoke up, "Why is this guard wearing a mask?"

"He is ugly, I am afraid he will scare you."

Shen Lingruo saw Mo Shushan's confusion and waved her hand to let Ren Jiu come forward. The small hand as white as mutton-fat jade touched the iron mask, making a crisp sound, so small that people could not hear it clearly.

Ren Jiu inexplicably held his breath, and the mask on his face was taken off, revealing his ugly face.

Everyone present gasped. The man's face was covered with scars, and his original appearance could not be seen. His eyes were white and cold, without any warmth.

Mo Shushan was frightened by Ren Jiu's appearance and took a step back. He was close to him and felt the impact of that terrifying appearance to the greatest extent.

"Puchi, look how scared you are." Shen Lingruo put the mask on Ren Jiu again. She looked normal and was not scared by his appearance at all.

After calming down the frightened emotions, Mo Shushan finally spoke, "Princess, this man looks really scary. Wearing a mask is not a good idea. Why don't you ask His Majesty to change a guard?"

For some reason, Mo Shushan felt that when he said this, Ren Jiu, who was as unresponsive as a piece of wood, seemed to stare at him with cold eyes, as if he was looking at a dying person.

Mo Shushan calmed himself down and turned his gaze towards Ren Jiu, only to see that he was still maintaining the same posture as before. The look in his eyes just now seemed to be just an illusion of Mo Shushan.

"No need, it's him." Shen Lingruo shook her head.

Seeing that she insisted, Mo Shushan did not raise any objection. If it was any other guard with normal appearance, he might be worried that the princess would like him and would secretly have an affair with him behind his back. However, this man was really ugly, and he did not believe that Shen Lingruo would be interested in such a man.

Although he can only sleep in the study in the west yard now, sooner or later he will sleep with the princess.

When Shen Lingruo saw his expression, she knew what he was planning, but she laughed in her heart and thought, don't even think about it.

"Your Highness, I still have official duties to attend to, so I will return to my study first." The emperor assigned Mo Shushan an uninhibited official position. Unlike the original plot where he was assigned a position with some power right from the start, for some reason, the emperor only assigned him an uninhibited position in this life.

Although he felt a little disappointed, Mo Shushan firmly believed that as long as he worked hard, the emperor would definitely promote him.

"Ah."

The late autumn breeze was blowing slowly and coolly. Shen Lingruo returned to the room and Qiu Tong followed her. "Qiu Tong, how is Shi Yan?"

"Your Highness, Shiyan was injured and is now lying in bed recuperating." Qiu Tong replied.

"Got it." Shen Lingruo waved Qiu Tong away. She was a little tired and wanted to absorb the spiritual power of this world and then have a good rest.

The reason why she chose Ren Jiu today was because she could tell at a glance that this man's martial arts skills were extraordinary and comparable to hers. Apart from her slightly faint admiration for his talent, Ren Jiu also gave her a vague sense of familiarity.

Could it be him? Thinking of Ren Jiu's face and those white eyes, Shen Lingruo hesitated.

Forget it, there is no loss if it's not him. Ren Jiu's martial arts are so high that he can do something for her.
