Transmigrated into a vicious female supporting role, reborn as a hostage to the paranoid male protag

When Zhang Susu read this passage, she was filled with grief and indignation. Although she disliked the villain Su Yingxue, who played a vicious female supporting role, she also felt that such an end was too tragic for anyone.

But now, the four palace maids, Chunfeng, Xiahe, Qiushuang and Dongxue, are no longer paper people, but appear in front of Zhang Susu in a living form.

For the first time these days, Zhang Susu deeply felt that the four of them were actually not like the original novel, where they were only briefly mentioned in a few words.

In the original novel, the author devoted considerable space to the romance between the hero and heroine. Even the supporting character, Su Yingxue, only had a few chapters to her credit, bolstering her absurd, arrogant, vicious, and spoiled life. And what about the four maidens in the imperial court?

But now, the four of them were such lively and smart, beautiful and gentle girls. When Zhang Susu actually saw the sharp knife in the hands of Yin Ruhai, the man who had sacrificed his life four times to block the murder for Su Yingxue in the book, and saw the four palace maids in front of her, she really couldn't bear it. Like Su Yingxue in the original book, she watched them die with her.

Including Cao Dewang, in order to protect her until the last moment, he was almost pierced all over by the soldiers and Yin Ruhai's men with swords, his brocade clothes were covered in blood, and he still knelt in front of her when he died, wanting to protect her until the last moment.

Zhang Susu felt that she couldn't remain indifferent.

She must rely on herself to change her fate.

Not only does she want to change Su Yingxue's destined tragic ending, she also wants to change the fate of Chunfeng, Xiahe, Qiushuang, and Dongxue, and she wants to change Cao Dewang's fate!

Zhang Susu wanted them to survive together! Live well! Change their fate together!

As for how to change it, we need to consider it carefully!

Zhang Susu was in deep thought. She remembered that when the original novel described the part where Shen Ruhai stepped on Su Yingxue's back, it described Shen Ruhai stepping hard on her delicate back while sneering and mocking her.

"Your Highness, Princess, you never imagined that you, who was once so high and mighty, would one day become the target of bullying by the people of Dasheng Palace?"

"Hehe, Your Highness, the Princess, I have no intention of opposing you. After all, you and I have nothing to do with each other. What a pity, tsk tsk tsk...what a pity..." Shen Ruhai sneered, "What a pity! Who told Your Highness, the Princess, to be such a thorn in the side of my master?"

"My master hates Her Royal Highness the Princess." He kicked Su Yingxue's back hard. Su Yingxue felt as if her ribs were broken. The pain was so severe that even breathing and her internal organs hurt. A mouthful of sweet food got stuck in her throat. It was so painful, so painful...

"Hehe... Your Highness, just watch carefully. These people all died for you..." Shen Ruhai's wild and arrogant laughter echoed in her ears. She wanted to kill that man in her heart, but she couldn't. She was tied to the ground, unable to struggle. She couldn't save them, nor could she save herself.

······

If that's the case, Shen Ruhai must be a minion of a noble in the Da Sheng harem. Perhaps this noble in the palace is the culprit who pushed her into the lake?

For the first time, Zhang Susu is interested in this noble palace official who is the mastermind behind the scenes and has never been mentioned in the novel. Can she change her fate? It seems that she has to find out the true identity of this mastermind and then make a long-term plan...

Zhang Susu thought to herself that this time of traveling through time, she really had to be cautious at every step. She didn't know how many dangers were waiting for her in the Great Sheng Kingdom, nor did she know if she could change Su Yingxue's fate with her own schemes. She could only take one step at a time...

······

After leaving the Princess's main hall and entering the side hall, Su Yingxue dismissed everyone and only left Qiu Shuang.

Seeing that there was no one around except Chu Xingchen, who lay unconscious on the couch, Qiu Shuang asked Su Yingxue in confusion, "Your Highness, there is something I don't understand."

"It's okay to ask." Su Yingxue sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to touch Chu Xingchen's forehead. Sure enough, the imperial physician's medicine and the maid's physical cooling care did have a certain effect.

Su Yingxue felt slightly relieved upon seeing this. After all, he was injured because of her, and she felt so guilty. She gently soaked the handkerchief on his forehead with cold water, wrung it out, and then placed it on his forehead.

Seeing this, Qiu Shuang handed Su Yingxue a handkerchief, asking her to wipe the wet stains from her hands. Before she could return it, she was already waiting with both hands to take it. Qiu Shuang whispered, "Your Highness, Princess, why are you so concerned about Prince Chu this time? And why are you arguing with the Internal Affairs Bureau on his behalf?"

"That Shen Ruhai doesn't seem to be a pushover!" Qiu Shuang spoke tearfully. She had heard a lot about him during her years in the Princess' Palace. He was quite resourceful, and it was said that the masters of the other palaces had to show some respect in front of him. "Master, don't be afraid. What if he holds a grudge against you in the future and harms you?"

Su Yingxue smiled faintly upon hearing this. "But the current ending wasn't deliberately arranged. Although it happened naturally, it's more beneficial to me. It's a good thing, isn't it?"

Su Yingxue saw that she was lost in thought and whispered, "The Internal Supervisory Office in the palace is like a warship in the hands of His Majesty. Shen Ruhai is the helmsman of this ship."

Su Yingxue's voice was calm and composed, as if she didn't care about anything. She gently wiped the blood off Chu Xingchen's hands with a handkerchief and tucked him in. She softly said to Qiu Shuang, "Shen Ruhai is at the helm. No matter where this ship goes, he might fire at me. He's not one of my men, so he doesn't know anything about me."

"But Cao Dewang won't," Su Yingxue said softly. She knew the ending of the original book, where Cao Dewang was a loyal servant who would protect her with his life. Therefore, she was very relieved.

"If Cao Dewang were the one at the helm, no matter where he steered this warship according to Your Majesty's orders, he would not direct his gunfire towards me. This is because he was sent by Your Majesty to protect me many years ago."

"In that case, this matter is more beneficial than harmful to me. Why should I pursue other matters?" Su Yingxue said.

"Then, Your Highness, even if Prince Chu had jumped into the lake to save Your Highness, why would Your Highness need to personally ask His Majesty for a favor and allow him to stay in the Princess' Palace?"

Qiu Shuang thought about this and ultimately felt something was amiss. The Princess Royal wasn't engaged, and though she was spoiled, she didn't have an open lover. The Princess Royal had always wanted Chu Xingchen as her lover, but when she couldn't get him, she became even more furious, whipping him herself from time to time.

It can be said that Chu Xingchen is like this now. Although he saved her, he must hate Her Royal Highness the Princess in his heart. I am afraid that Her Royal Highness the Princess cares so much about Chu Xingchen's safety and situation, and tries so hard to ask for his safety, but Chu Xingchen may not appreciate it.

Every time Chu Xingchen was whipped by the Princess, he would act like a young wolf cub, his eyes red and filled with naked hatred, as if he wanted to devour her whole. Qiu Shuang was afraid that keeping such a person around would be detrimental to Su Yingxue.

Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue personally changed Chu Xingchen's handkerchief and repeated, "Qiushuang, you've seen clearly today. The environment in the cold palace where he lives and the bullying he received from the palace servants. If he goes back, he will definitely not be able to recover from these injuries."

Su Yingxue looked at the pale-faced boy lying unconscious on the bed. The boy had a thin and handsome face.
