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

The Nangong clan's calamity stemmed from Nangong Jiuyue's father's excessive loyalty and outspokenness, and also from the Nangong family's aristocratic status. Despite being a noble family, they enjoyed the support of the court officials and were wealthy enough to rival a nation.

Nangong Jiuyue's father was a high-ranking official, and he always had disagreements with the late emperor in the court. Both of them insisted on their own opinions and refused to give in.

Over time, what accumulated in the late emperor's heart was fear and dissatisfaction with the Nangong family's contempt for imperial power, rather than admiration for Mr. Nangong's family's loyalty to the emperor and love for the people.

When the Dasheng Dynasty was first established, it needed the support of a family like the Nangong family that had rich industries, popularity and influence. Therefore, before the first Dasheng Dynasty wanted to become emperor, he proposed the invitation of "Su and Nangong sharing the world".

However, during the reign of the previous emperor, the Nangong family was the dominant family. At that time, the Great Qi Dynasty wanted to tear up the alliance and repeatedly invaded our border.

The late emperor advocated inviting famous generals to lead the troops to fight and defeat the barbarians of Da Qi once and for all.

Chief Nangong felt sorry for the suffering of the people when the war broke out, and he directly advised the late emperor to drive the invading enemy forces of Daqi out of the border of Dasheng.

The late emperor wanted to go to war, but the treasury was empty.

The Nangong clan leader was rich enough to rival a country, yet he begged the late emperor not to start a war.

After a round of negotiation between the two sides, the late emperor finally proposed to marry Nangong Jiuyue as a concubine with the ceremony of a noble concubine, and the money, silk, and food needed for the war would be provided by the Nangong family.

Therefore, Nangong Jiuyue, who had originally longed for freedom and had been cultivated as an heir, was summoned by an imperial decree and became a royal concubine with the Nangong family's immense wealth as a dowry.

Nangong Jiuyue is kind, virtuous, gentle and intellectual. She supports the late emperor, sympathizes with the people, and often uses her dowry and private property to fill the national treasury and subsidize the common people.

The late emperor was also truly attracted by such a warm, kind, outstanding and intelligent woman. For a time, he also loved her generosity, thoughtfulness and understanding more than anything else.

Until the third year after entering the palace, Nangong Jiuyue became pregnant. When the imperial physician detected the positive pulse, Nangong Jiuyue was filled with joy of becoming a mother.

The late emperor's eyes were dark, and there was a forced smile on the corner of his mouth, without any joy of being a father.

Even as a powerful aristocratic family as the Nangong family, the Nangong clan leader can now unite with all the officials to submit a memorial to refute the emperor's will. If the Nangong concubine gives birth to a royal heir, can the prince of the Nangong family be supported to become the new emperor?

The late emperor often thought about this, and the dissatisfaction and fear of the Nangong family that had been buried in his heart for a long time was suddenly ignited by the fetus in Nangong Jiuyue's belly. The royal power was declining compared to the aristocratic families, and he could not tolerate the existence of such an unstable factor.

Therefore, the late emperor rewarded Nangong Jiuyue handsomely, while secretly allying with the patriarchs of the four great families of Xuanyuan, Shangguan, Liu, and Qin to make secret arrangements.

On the pretext of needing to transport supplies for the expedition, the youngest generation of officials of the Nangong family were sent to the border to deliver food.

Then, on the day they arrived at the border of Dasheng, they secretly assassinated all the officials of the Nangong family, forged letters of collaborating with Daqi to sell food and supplies, and using the loss of food and supplies and the letters of treason as irrefutable evidence, they joined forces with the Beijing soldiers and the palace soldiers of the four great families to raid their homes overnight.

The evidence is overwhelming; if you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext.

Overnight, all the male members of the Nangong family died, some were exiled, and the female members were sent to the Jiaofangsi.

The four major families, together with the late emperor, divided up all the private property and troops of the Nangong family held by the Nangong clan leader.

While her poor father and her clan members were dying, Nangong Jiuyue, who was being pampered in the palace and waiting to give birth, was embroidering clothes for the newborn baby while looking forward to seeing her father and the newborn baby after giving birth.

After everything was settled, except for the branch that Chen Dong led to escape, all people related to the Nangong family were blamed for the crime.

Unfortunately, the truth cannot be hidden. After the late emperor confiscated the Nangong family and exiled them, he wanted to bury Nangong Jiuyue for the rest of her life.

It is true that he is wary of the Nangong clan, but he also truly loves Nangong Jiuyue.

But Nangong Jiuyue knew the truth of the matter. She could not accept that her beloved and respected husband had killed her father's clan and done such a thing to her own relatives.

When the qi and blood attacked her heart, Nangong Jiuyue gave birth prematurely. Due to her excessive grief, she suffered heavy bleeding during labor and finally gave birth to a youngest daughter, Su Yingxue.

On her deathbed, Nangong Jiuyue spoke to the late emperor for the first time, saying that the baby girl was innocent and she was willing to donate the remaining Nangong family's wealth to the late emperor, asking him to treat the soldiers and the child well.

After Nangong Jiuyue passed away, the late emperor loved Su Yingxue very much. I don’t know whether it was because he felt guilty towards Nangong Jiuyue or he really loved Su Yingxue.

The late emperor fabricated a story that Nangong Jiuyue had made great contributions in protecting him, and gave all his favor to Su Yingxue.

After destroying the power of the Nangong family and confiscating their troops and private property, the national treasury was full, food and supplies were sufficient, and military funds were abundant. The late emperor once again sent troops to Da Qi and won a great victory.

In order to avoid disasters caused by the aristocratic families, the late emperor handed over a portion of the Nangong family's troops and wealth to the four major families for management, and added countless amounts to the national treasury every year.

Therefore, the four great families began to truly rise from that time.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. A few years later, when the late emperor was on his deathbed, he entrusted Su Yingxue to Su Qinhuai.

Perhaps it was because in this life, the late emperor had betrayed the entire world, only one person's sincerity. This made the late emperor feel deeply guilty and desolate, so he did not hesitate to ask Su Qinhuai to swear on the fate of the country, asking him to protect his young daughter.

Chen Dong knows all the truth, Su Qinhuai also knows all the truth, and the four major families also know all the truth, but no one will tell Su Yingxue.

The four major families didn't want Su Yingxue to know, perhaps they were just afraid that she would learn the truth in the future, bear a grudge against them, and seek revenge.

Su Qinhuai didn't want Su Yingxue to know because he swore to the late emperor that this matter involved royal secrets and could not be spread outside.

Chen Dong didn't want Su Yingxue to know because his Highness was too pitiful. Su Yingxue's father wanted to take over the Nangong family's private property and power, because he was afraid of the Nangong clan's power and wealth.

Her father was the culprit who sentenced her entire clan to death and wrongly accused her entire clan. He was also the indirect cause of her mother's death and the beginning of her tragedy of being an orphan since childhood.

Chen Dong couldn't bear to tell his prince such a cruel fact.

Su Yingxue has a very miserable life. She has no father and no mother. In the entire palace, except Su Qinhuai who truly loves her, no one else likes her.

No one wants to really care about her.

No one wants her to be successful, no one wants her to be well-educated, intelligent and gentle.

They wanted a Su Yingxue who was despised and scorned by the whole country, who was uneducated, spoiled and willful, could do nothing and knew nothing.

Such straw bags are easier to handle, easier to control, and have no hidden dangers.

So Chen Dong also chose to conceal such a heavy truth. After all, not all truths are welcome.
