The delicate cannon fodder is stunning, saving the male supporting role but getting teased instead

The bonfire dinner lasted until late at night, and after three rounds of drinks, everyone returned to their tents in groups of three or four.

As a princess and a young general currently at the peak of their careers, Wenrou and Huo Yunting's tents were very close to the royal tent, practically right next to the prince's tent.

At night, just as they were about to wash up and go to sleep, they heard a scream. Huo Yunting had been in the army for so many years that he woke up almost immediately.

He quickly put on his coat and called the guards to protect Wenrou, then said to Wenrou, "I'm afraid there are assassins. I'll go and take a look. You stay in the tent and don't go out."

He left his capable guards to Wenrou, and only after making sure the surroundings were safe did he stride out. At this time, many people outside were awakened and were rushing towards the direction of the noise.

Huo Yunting approached and realized that the incident seemed to be in the prince's tent. Thinking that Wenrou had a good relationship with the prince, he hurried in.

But after entering, he was stunned to see Liu Ruyi, who should not be here, sitting on the bed in the tent in dishevel.

The Third Prince sat beside him with a dark complexion and a murderous expression on his face.

At this time, the emperor and other princes also rushed over after hearing the news, and everyone hurriedly made way.

The emperor saw what was happening in the room and frowned. He asked, "What happened?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyi hurriedly said, "I drank too much wine at the dinner just now, and when I woke up, I don't know why I found myself here." She spoke ambiguously, and tears fell as she spoke.

The Third Prince looked at her fiercely upon hearing this, then bowed to his father and said, "Father, when I returned to the tent, I found the coal lamp was out. Since I was about to go to bed, I didn't call the servants and went to bed. I don't know why this woman was already in my bed."

The third prince knew very well that he was being plotted against. What his father hated most was this kind of thing that caused chaos in the palace, but he was just an unpopular prince, so why would these people plot against him?

The emperor looked at the third prince with some disgust. This son was born to him after he drank too much, and now he was involved in this kind of thing. Moreover, almost all the important officials in the court were there at this time, which made the emperor lose face.

He suppressed his anger, looked at Liu Ruyi, and asked, "Do you remember how you got to this tent?"

Liu Ruyi couldn't stop crying. Upon hearing this, she just said, "I don't remember. Please, Your Majesty, make the decision for me." As she said that, she struggled to get off the bed, knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily.

The emperor didn't seem to want to waste any more time, so he said, "It just so happens that the Empress is currently looking for the Third Prince. Now that things have come to this, I will grant you the marriage. This will also help the girl avoid any delays."

Upon hearing this, the third prince suddenly looked at his father. He knew that he was not favored, but he did not expect that his father would be so unconcerned about his marriage.

However, as the third prince was an unpopular prince, he could not refuse. If he dared to refuse, he would only be treated with more indifference, and he was afraid that his father would not care about his opinion.

The Third Prince lowered his head, his eyes filled with resentment. Why? Just because he was born into a poor family, he could only choose any woman. And the Fifth Prince, born to Concubine Yu, hadn't married yet, just because his father felt there was no woman worthy of him?

Thinking of the Fifth Prince, he froze for a moment, something flashing through his mind. The tents everyone was staying in today had been assigned in advance. His tent was supposed to be the Fifth Prince's.

But because the Fifth Prince was not satisfied with this place for some reason, he changed tents with him. Hearing this, the Third Prince looked at the woman kneeling on the ground.

If all this was directed at the Fifth Prince, then that made sense. Either someone was trying to frame the Fifth Prince, making him look bad in public and be disliked by his father. Or perhaps the woman before him was offering herself to the Fifth Prince.

The third prince lowered his eyes and after a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I thank you for granting me the marriage." No matter what the truth behind it was, he now had no chance to refuse.

Liu Ruyi also quickly prostrated herself on the ground to express her gratitude. Her eyes were filled with resentment as she had clearly learned that this tent belonged to the Fifth Prince. She had never imagined that the Third Prince would be the one in charge.

But now that things have come to this, there is nothing else to do. The emperor has already granted her the marriage, and she cannot refuse it. Fortunately, the emperor did not delve into the truth.

Liu Ruyi's original plan was to take advantage of the Fifth Prince's drunkenness and hide in his tent to accomplish her goal. For this purpose, she had already applied medicine on herself.

As long as the scent of this medicine is inhaled, the other party will hallucinate and achieve good things. Afterwards, she can use this as a threat to enter the Fifth Prince's mansion.

For this purpose, she even destroyed the coal lamp, but she didn't expect that the person who came up in the dark was the powerless Third Prince, which caused Liu Ruyi to scream.

Wenrou waited anxiously in the tent for a long time before she saw Huo Yunting return with a frown on his face. She quickly went up to him and asked what had happened.

Huo Yunting had a conflicted expression on his face. He knew that Wenrou had a good relationship with the Third Prince. After a long time, he told Wenrou exactly what had happened.

After he finished speaking, he was still a little confused and said, "It's really strange. Liu Ruyi and the prince have no connection at all. How could she suddenly appear in the prince's tent?"

Hearing that the Third Prince had been kissed without her knowing why, Wenrou bit her lip, feeling a sense of grief. If she hadn't been so deliberately trying to please him, she was afraid her father would have treated her the same way.

If it weren't for her hard work over the years and the support of the Crown Prince, Wenrou's situation in the palace wouldn't be much better.

"Yun Ting, do you really believe that a person will forget what happened after drinking? If he drank so much, how could he speak so soberly just now?" Wenrou had long seen what kind of person Liu Ruyi was. She guessed that she probably did this because she wanted to marry the prince.

Liu Ruyi should be thankful that she chose the unfavored Third Prince. If it was any other prince, her father would definitely not arrange a marriage so easily. If he investigated, he would always find out what she was doing.

Huo Yunting thought about it, frowned, and said hesitantly, "Princess, do you think Liu Ruyi is lying? Is she doing it on purpose?"

Wenrou sighed: "I don't want to make malicious assumptions about others, but now Liu Ruyi has successfully married the prince, and the emperor has granted her the marriage and she is his legal wife. Isn't this what she wanted? I just feel sorry for my third brother."

Huo Yunting opened his mouth, his face full of shock. He didn't expect that the deputy general, whom he thought was kind and righteous, would do such a thing.

Of course, he did not doubt Wenrou's guess. What happened just now was indeed full of doubts, and as the person involved, Liu Ruyi could not escape the blame.
