Quick Wear: The Short-lived Female Supporting Character Does Not Want to Be a Heartthrob

When Crown Princess Shangguan Chuxue heard the empress calling her nickname, the sweat on her back stopped.

After paying his respects, Shangguan Chuxue slowly left the imperial tent.

Not long after she left the tent, several ministers came in.

After a while, the head of Dali Temple hurried out. They caught a few people alive and they would have to interrogate them carefully.

Although the Queen was in danger, that area was closed off, but other places were accessible as usual.

Wan Ning also stayed in Qingyang Mountain with the large army for several days before packing his luggage and returning to the palace.

After returning to the palace, Qing Shijun went to see Wan Ning immediately.

Wan Ning was of course fine, but she told Qing Shijun that his second brother was injured, so Qing Shijun went to see Shangguan Yue anxiously again.

After sending all the servants away, Qing Shijun carefully asked Shangguan Yue how she was injured?

Shangguan Yue did not hide anything and told Xu Qingyun everything.

When Xu Qingyun heard his eldest daughter say that the Queen might have discovered her identity, his heartbeat quickened instantly and he became panicked and frightened.

"Yue'er, why don't we go and confess to the Queen and ask for her forgiveness. If there is any crime, let my father take the blame. It has nothing to do with you."

Upon hearing what Qing Shijun said, Shangguan Yue immediately objected: "Father, if there is any fault, it is my fault. I am the person involved, how can I completely exonerate myself?"

"Father, if you want to punish me, I will punish you together. Your daughter will accompany you."

Shangguan Yue just finished speaking and immediately shook her head: "No, you can't get involved. There is also my younger sister. If Ning'er is like this, what will she do in the future without her father's care? She is still so young."

When Wan Ning was mentioned, the two fell silent again.

The three of them, father and daughter, are really connected to each other and can't live without each other.

Xu Qingyun closed his eyes and slammed his forehead in annoyance. What should he do to save his two daughters?

(It seems that I am the only one who has taken on this responsibility.)

After a moment, Xu Qingyun thought of a solution, which was that he would go to the Queen to confess his crime, and not punish or blame them because both of them were her children.

(Yue'er is old enough to take good care of Ning'er.)

The best solution Xu Qingyun could think of was for the older woman to take care of the younger daughter so that the two children could support each other.

Suddenly, Shangguan Yue spoke up: "Father, when I entered the palace, the eunuch beside His Majesty came to inform my daughter that His Majesty had ordered her to rest and recuperate first."

"Did your majesty really say that?"

Seeing Xu Qingyun frowning, Shangguan Yue nodded: "Father, I dare not lie to you, it's true."

"Tell me, maybe His Majesty guessed that we would go look for her, so he reminded his daughter like this."

Xu Qingyun frowned, thought for a while, and then nodded: "This is also very possible. Yue'er, since His Majesty has said so, you should recover from your injuries first, and then we can talk about it."

In the end, the father and daughter discussed and decided to hold off and wait for further discussions.

Wan Ning didn't know that with her back to her, her sister and old father were discussing matters concerning their life and death.

A few days later, Qing Shijun sent someone to inform Wan Ning to go to his Yuzhuxuan for dinner.

It turned out that the eunuch beside Empress Shangguan Yan had notified her that Empress Shangguan Yan would come to Yuzhuxuan for dinner.

So after notifying Wan Ning, Qing Shijun also notified Shangguan Yue to come over.

It was not yet dark, but Wan Ning had already gone there early.

After waiting for a while, Shangguan Yue finally arrived.

Qing Shijun was ordering people to clean up, and when he saw his two daughters coming, he immediately had people serve snacks and tea.

"Fill your stomach first, don't go hungry."

In fact, Wan Ning was not hungry, but she still picked up a few sweet and sour plums and ate them, just to stimulate her appetite and aid digestion.

While the three of them were waiting, Shangguan Yue looked at Qing Shijun several times. Qing Shijun smiled and assured her, and said nothing else.

In fact, Xu Qingyun had no idea. He didn't know whether Empress Shangguan Yan came here for real or fake dinner.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Xu Qingyun ordered the dishes to be served. As the dishes were being served one after another, the empress's sedan chair arrived.

After Shangguan Yan sat down and started to eat with her chopsticks, Wan Ning and the others began to pick up their dishes.

After eating for a while, Wan Ning was still drinking the chicken soup in the bowl. Shangguan Yan beside him suddenly asked Shangguan Yue: "I heard that you like reading the most. What books have you read?"

Seeing the Queen asking questions, Shangguan Yue immediately put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand and said: "Your Majesty, Yue reads a wide variety of books, all kinds of books."

Hmm? When Wan Ning heard Shangguan Yue's words, she immediately turned her head to look, because she remembered that Chu Lingye, whom she met on Qingyang Mountain a few days ago, had said the same thing.

"Oh, tell me which ones specifically."

Shangguan Yue was suddenly questioned and felt a little nervous, but after thinking it over, she decided to first say that she liked to read books like travelogues.

Empress Shangguan Yan asked her what she thought after reading it, and Shangguan Yue also expressed her inner thoughts and feelings.

Afterwards, the Queen asked her about her injury, and Shangguan Yue answered truthfully.

At the dinner table, Qing Shijun served food to the empress from time to time, and reminded Wan Ning and Shangguan Yue to eat more, but he himself did not eat much.

So Wan Ning reached out and served a bowl of soup to Empress Shangguan Yan, and another bowl to Xu Qingyun.

Seeing that Wan Ning was sensible, the empress praised her for growing up and knowing how to care for others.

After dinner, Shangguan Yan did not stay long and left Yuzhuxuan as she had some business to deal with. Qing Shijun and her two daughters saw her off before returning to the house.

When we returned to the main hall, the things on the dining table had already been cleared away by the servants.

"Father, would you like some more chestnut cake?"

Wan Ning brought a plate of snacks to Xu Qingyun, and Xu Qingyun smiled and said, "Okay, Father, try it. This is Ning'er's filial piety."

After Xu Qingyun ate two pieces of chestnut cakes, he drank a cup of tea.

Seeing that the eldest daughter's arms were still unable to move freely, Xu Qingyun asked both sisters to go back.

Shangguan Yue looked at Xu Qingyun. As their eyes met, Xu Qingyun said, "Don't worry, go back!"

Wan Ning looked at the two of them, didn't say anything, and left obediently.

The things that had troubled Xu Qingyun for a long time seemed to make him feel relieved today. He thought to himself that maybe the empress would not blame him for deceiving the superiors and subordinates.

But he couldn't stop worrying, because the king's mind is hard to predict!

In the end, Xu Qingyun took Shangguan Yue to meet the Queen the next day after Shangguan Yue's injuries were completely healed.

Empress Shangguan Yan met the two men in the Purple Palace, and it was nearly an hour later when she came out.

So the next day, Wan Ning received two pieces of news.

One is that Xu Qingyun violated a royal taboo yesterday and asked to go to the royal temple, Fojue Temple, to meditate and atone for his sins.

Another thing was that her second brother performed well and was specially sent by the Queen to the south for inspection.
