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

Near noon, a carriage slowly drove into the dark alley. Su Yingxue lifted the curtain, wearing a weft hat, hunched her back, hunched her chest, and slowly got off the carriage and walked into the inner courtyard.

If you don't look closely, you can't see the wet water stains on her sky-blue dress and the crimson peony on her enchanting curves.

Su Yingxue walked into the inner courtyard, stepped on the snow to greet the door, and asked in confusion, "Your Highness, it seems that you didn't wear a veil before going out?"

"The secret guards went to the dark alley outside Princess Changle's residence before dawn to wait for you. Why did Your Highness return only now? Could it be that the secret guards failed to pick you up?"

Taxue scratched his temples, feeling puzzled. This Xiao Liuzi usually seemed reliable, so why was he so unreliable today?

Soon, Xiao Liuzi's secret guard, while pulling the carriage to the inner courtyard, stroked his head and muttered softly, "What's going on? We're going to pick up His Highness today for such a big event, and he actually fell asleep in the carriage?"

"I slept very well last night, how come I slept for several hours?"

When Su Yingxue heard Taxue's question, her face turned red. She was too embarrassed to lift her veil. Her red lips were so swollen and there were bloodstains on them, so how could she talk to Taxue?

"Prepare some water and find me a set of men's clothes. I have to go to Mr. Chen's place later." Su Yingxue felt sticky all over her body. She spoke lightly, thinking about the place name Chu Xingchen had just given her. He said that I wanted to be the sword in his hand, so naturally he had something useful to show off.

But the wolf cub wanted too much sweetness, which made her angry. Even now, she was still indignant.

"Yes." Upon hearing this, Taxue went to prepare water.

After washing up and changing into a clean and tidy set of scholar's clothes, with the help of Taxue's disguise, the two became a pair of ordinary-looking scholar and servant.

After meeting Mr. Chen, the two had a long conversation about the plan. Su Yingxue gave Mr. Chen the place name and asked him to go there for the meeting.

Chu Xingchen used the witnesses and testimonies he had collected there, as well as the testimony and letters on the collusion between the Shangguan family and the Xuanyuan family that he had investigated in recent days, and several of the arrested accomplices, all of which were there.

One of them is to exchange the evidence in his hand for the controlled spy in her hand.

Secondly, Chu Xingchen is willing to be the sword in her hand to eliminate the behind-the-scenes forces that compete with her, but at the same time, when he leaves Dasheng soon, she, who holds power, must ensure that she protects him and his people and ensures that they leave Dasheng safely.

Su Yingxue felt that these two things were good things and opportunities.

After all, there are no eternal enemies or eternal friends, only a balance of interests. Even enemies can become friends who walk the same path under the drive of interests. Even friends can become hateful enemies under the drive of interests.

Chu Xingchen was willing to help her ascend to the pinnacle of power in the Great Sheng Dynasty and break the monopoly of Xuanyuan Luoshan and the four great clans. With power and a solid position, Su Yingxue would have a lot more help in her future endeavors.

By the time Su Yingxue finished her conversation with Mr. Chen, night had already merged with dusk. By the time she and Taxue left Mr. Chen's residence, it was already nightfall, the market was ablaze with lanterns, and the people were bustling.

The carriage was moving slowly on the street. The weather was no longer as cold as in winter, but was slowly warming up.

Although it wasn't as warm as early spring, it wasn't too cold after all. Perhaps because she had been staying in the courtyard, she hadn't gone out since faking her death.

Now, inside the car, I couldn't help but lift the curtain and look at the prosperity of this prosperous dynasty.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped. Su Yingxue was a little confused. She lifted the curtain. The secret guard turned around and looked at His Highness and whispered, "Sir, there's a young man on horseback blocking the road."

Su Yingxue looked forward and saw Zhuge Xuanyu wearing golden armor and holding a long spear, riding on a dark horse with no stray hairs on it.

Blocking people in the street was indeed something that Zhuge Xuanyu, a general of the Golden Crow Guard, could do. After all, Zhuge Xuanyu was the only one in Chang'an who controlled two-thirds of the military strength of the Dasheng capital.

The emperor's close ministers and the generals of the Golden Crow Guard are not ordinary people.

"General, I am a scholar who has come to the capital to take the imperial examination. These are my coachman and servant."

Su Yingxue lowered her voice, a little hoarse, and spoke to the cold-faced general in front of her.

"I don't know if it's the carriage that's blocking the general's way. I'll send the driver to move it out of the way right away so it doesn't interfere with the general's important business." Su Yingxue lowered her voice and nodded timidly, like a genuine grassroots scholar.

"Most scholars who come to Beijing to take the imperial examinations usually book an inn near the academy in advance, or stay directly at the academy. The academies here are all in the south of the city, and this place is in the east, so the distance between them is not a small distance."

Zhuge Xuanyu spoke coldly, his face grim, and a cruel smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Today, I'm afraid that this brother will have to go to the Jinwu Guard Office with me."

Zhuge Xuanyu has found out a lot of clues in recent days. Finally, through secret tracking, he discovered the places where the secret spies from the general's mansion often go. After unraveling the clues, he found the communication network.

Following the clues, they found a house and sent people to follow them. Today, they saw the scholar and the servant in the carriage entering the house. Now that they have left, they must be related to the affairs of the general's mansion.

"So," Su Yingxue sighed lightly. Perhaps she was careless and exposed her whereabouts or revealed a flaw somewhere.

Although Su Yingxue couldn't figure it out, she still whispered, "In that case, let's go to the Jinwu Guard Office with the general."

Su Yingxue knew that the existence of the Jinwuwei Yamen might be seen as the existence of a bloodthirsty Shura to some corrupt officials.

But she, Su Yingxue, was the eldest princess of the Great Sheng Dynasty. Although she was about the same age as Zhuge Xuanyu when she was a child and they had played together, but in terms of seniority, after all, Zhuge Xuanyu had to call her aunt.

The eldest nephew went to see his aunt because she had set him up. He couldn't possibly arrest his aunt and beat her up, right?

What's more, her aunt was just as upright and incorruptible as he was.

The carriage followed Zhuge Xuanyu's horse and drove into the Jinwuwei Yamen. Su Yingxue, Taxue, and the coachman got off the carriage together. Zhuge Xuanyu handed the horse to someone else and ordered the three of them to follow him into the main hall.

The three of them walked into the main hall, and Zhuge Xuanyu sat on the main seat. He dismissed his attendants and left only two trusted confidants to guard the door.

This main hall is built in a huge underground stone cave. There are mechanisms inside and guards standing outside. It is a natural secret room inside. Any sound is blocked by the thick stone walls, so it is very safe.

Seeing this, Su Yingxue calmly sat down at a tea table nearby, leaving Taxue and the coachman alone, one on each side. Although they pretended to be calm, their slightly raised shoulders and clenched fists under their sleeves showed that they were ready for battle.
