The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Sickly Prince Strategy Manual

Ning Xue sighed deeply, raised her head, her eyes full of sadness: "If only life could be like the first time we met, how wonderful it would be!"

Concubine Ning murmured softly, "Is this the first time we meet?" The two sisters fell into silence for a moment.

After a long while, Concubine Jiang broke the silence: "You should leave the palace first! I will think about what you said again!"

Ning Xue was very anxious when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "Sister, please help me! That man is very powerful, our secret guards are no match for him, and we can't deal with him so blatantly!"

Ning Xue's voice was filled with urgency and anxiety: "You are about to get married. If he dies for no reason, I don't know how much controversy it will cause. If the government investigates, who knows what will happen next? Sister, please, you can't just drag it out like this!"

Concubine Ning frowned and said, "This matter is of great importance. I need time to plan it carefully. Please don't force me any further."

Ning Xue bit her lip, her eyes full of disappointment, but she also knew that she couldn't force it at this moment, so she had to say: "Then sister, you must give me an answer as soon as possible."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Concubine Ning dragged her slightly tired body and slowly returned to Wanyuan.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, the nanny hurried forward and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I have already found out that the place that the Crown Prince's Consort often goes to is Yipinxian."

Concubine Ning had a calm expression on her face, with a thoughtful look in her eyes. She slowly said, "Prince Shangguan has been keen on making money since he was young, and he also has a special fondness for food. The restaurant he runs is indeed well managed. It's a pity that he is plagued by this disease. Otherwise, with his intelligence and business acumen, I don't know how much more he could have accomplished."

As she spoke, Concubine Ning couldn't help but fall into deep thought. After a moment, she suddenly spoke again, "Prince Shangguan and his wife must have consummated their marriage, right? You see, the Pinxian Pavilion has been handed over to the wife to take care of. I think the relationship between them is good."

A complex emotion flashed across Concubine Ning's eyes, and she thought to herself: Prince Shangguan is really a cunning man. He obviously has someone in his heart, but he still pretends to be disgusted and actually used me to marry the person he likes.

Thinking of this, Concubine Ning couldn't help but feel sad again. She knew very well that Master Shangguan had always been very intelligent, but she couldn't assume that his brain wasn't working well just because he coughed frequently and needed someone to support him all the time.

At this time, Concubine Ning picked up the flowers on the table and began to arrange them attentively, muttering to herself: "I just want to fulfill a wish from my youth. Am I too foolish to be so persistent now? Perhaps I will end up in an irretrievable situation, but I really can't stand this life in the harem any longer."

After arranging the flowers, Concubine Ning's tone was still calm: "When flowers are ready to be picked, they should be picked immediately. What's the point of thinking too much? The worst that can happen is death. Anyway, now, for me, living and dying don't seem to make much difference."

Concubine Ning's eyes gradually became firm, and she finally made up her mind and said, "Mammy, go and make some arrangements. These few days are the days when I can easily get pregnant."

When the nanny heard this, she immediately showed an embarrassment on her face, and hurriedly advised: "Madam, if this is the case, why don't you spend some time thinking about how to get the emperor to stay overnight? If you can get pregnant with a dragon seed, you will have something to think about for the rest of your life!"

Concubine Ning suddenly laughed, her laughter was full of helplessness and self-mockery: "Mammy, don't be so naive! My father is now at the peak of his power in the court, and most of the officials in the court are his disciples. How could the emperor leave a dragon seed for me?"

Concubine Ning paused and continued, "The power of the imperial relatives is too great. This has always been a taboo for all imperial families. No emperor would like to see this happen. I am not the emperor's favorite. The emperor has always been more cautious than close to me."

Concubine Ning's tone changed, and she said with a hint of sarcasm: "Look, even though the emperor and the queen are so loving, the queen's family doesn't get any care at all, and the emperor is always thinking of ways to prevent the queen's family from growing stronger!"

Concubine Ning sighed softly, revealing a trace of loneliness in her expression: "I have now let go of a lot of things and no longer seek those unrealistic favors and power. But every time I recall that time when I was young, the excitement and feelings in my heart are always unforgettable. So, I just want to fight hard and see if I can fight for a hope for myself."

Nanny still didn't want Concubine Ning to take such a risk, and she called out anxiously, "Madam!"

Concubine Ning raised her hand and waved it gently, stopping the nanny from giving her further advice. She said firmly, "No need to say more. I have made up my mind! If you find it difficult for me to survive in the future, just leave on your own and don't bother me!"

Concubine Ning's eyes flashed with determination: "If you are really held back by something, you can find a way to get out of it, save your own life, go back to your hometown to amuse your granddaughter, and live a good life."

The nanny sighed heavily and said, "Since your majesty has made such a decision, I will do it. Your majesty has saved my family, so I will do my best to assist you."

Concubine Ning shook her head and said, "No need. If Master Shangguan really wants to settle accounts with me regardless of our past friendship, just leave and ignore me. I don't want to live anymore. Don't bother with Ning Xue's affairs. She deserves it. She has no chance of survival!"

"My Queen!" the nanny called out affectionately.

However, Concubine Ning turned her head away, no longer looking at the nanny, and continued to concentrate on fiddling with the bouquet of flowers in front of her.

The nanny looked at Concubine Ning's back with tears in her eyes. In the end, she said nothing more and slowly retreated.

……

That day, Yun Chang got up early, but her right eyelid kept twitching from the moment she opened her eye.

People of the older generation often say that if the left eye twitches, it means good fortune, while if the right eye twitches, it means disaster. Is something bad going to happen today?

However, she couldn't just find an excuse for not going out just because her eyelids were twitching, right? She was planning to go to Yipinxian to check it out today.

The princess might be back in a few days. By then, the spices would be ready and she might be able to introduce new dishes. She would definitely be very busy then.

When she passed by the garden, she saw Shangguan Haoxuan feeding the fish there with great concentration.

Yun Shang showed a malicious smile on her face and walked over quickly.

"Uncle, I'm teasing the fish!"

When Shangguan Haoxuan heard this, his face instantly turned green, and he quickly said, "Sister-in-law, please don't call me uncle!"

Yun Shang smiled nonchalantly and said, "Okay! Since you have so much free time, why don't you go out with me?"

Shangguan Haoxuan raised his head and asked, "Is this a condition?"

Yun Shang nodded vigorously with a thick face.

Shangguan Haoxuan collected the fish food and said nonchalantly, "Okay! I will act as a flower protector today!" Then he asked, "But where is my elder brother?"

Yun Shang curled her lips and complained, "I couldn't see him when I got up in the morning!"

I don't know if it's because I refused to give him the so-called "benefits" last night, he disappeared this morning. Oh! Men! Thinking of this, Yun Shang unconsciously put on a resentful expression.
