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

Su Yingxue watched the man's carriage leave the north city gate and go away.

She stood on a tall building, feeling very cold up there. The wind lifted up her skirt, causing the ribbons decorating the edge of her skirt to fly gently and dance in the wind.

In the distance are endless green hills, one next to the other, layer upon layer of endless mountains. Behind those thousands of mountains is the man’s hometown.

A meeting, an entanglement. A separation, each happy. From now on, the skies are high, the roads are long, the mountains and rivers are vast. Two young eagles, briefly together and cuddling, will soar in two completely different skies.

"Goodbye, Chu Xingchen." Su Yingxue watched the carriage finally become a dot and disappear at the end of the road, and she murmured softly.

"Master, let's go back to the palace." Zhaoxue looked at Su Yingxue and reminded her softly.

"From now on, Zhaoxue will always protect the master." Zhaoxue said softly, "From now on, Your Highness will be Zhaoxue's master."

"Okay, let's go back to the palace."

The past is full of ups and downs, and the road ahead is long but bright.

······

The winter snow melted away, the spring breeze blew warm, and spring soon arrived as promised. The warmth everywhere was naturally a few degrees warmer than in winter.

There may be some chill in early spring, but it does not affect the unmarried girls of the Dasheng Dynasty. They put on bright and beautiful dresses, dressed like spring flowers, and attend one spring banquet after another.

This year's Spring Banquet was different from other events, being held in early spring, and Su Yingxue had also received an invitation. In previous years, Xuanyuan Luoshan hadn't been so in the mood to host such banquets, leaving them to the Internal Affairs Supervisor.

This year is an exception. Xuanyuan Luoshan personally organized the party and sent her a message. What good intentions could a weasel have in wishing a happy new year to a chicken?

The emperor personally sentenced the corrupt officials to death in the case of the burning of Furong Tower which Zhuge Xuanyu had thoroughly investigated years ago, as well as the cases of corruption, abuse of power, plundering of the people and treating the common people as worthless in recent years by some officials of the Shangguan and Xuanyuan families.

The incident of setting fire to Furong Tower and framing the eldest princess was discovered to be committed by Mr. Mo Li, a trusted aide of Empress Xuanyuan, who forged the Empress's decree just for revenge.

Zhuge Xuanyu found out that he was the orphan who had an old feud with the Nangong family and was the only one who escaped death when his family was confiscated and beheaded.

That person deliberately gained the Empress's trust, stayed by her side, and falsely conveyed the Imperial decree, all in order to silence Su Yingxue. Xuanyuan Luoshan was also a victim, so Su Qinhuai, out of pity for his long-time wife, only punished her by having her copy Buddhist scriptures for several months for the innocent people who died, and donated gold and jewelry to the injured and dead.

Mo Li was sentenced to death by slicing in the autumn.

After this round of negotiations, the power of the Shangguan and Xuanyuan families in the government was greatly weakened. Corrupt officials were confiscated and exiled one by one, leaving many positions vacant in the government, ready to be filled with fresh blood after the Spring Examination.

This time, she failed to gain anything and ended up losing the rice. I'm afraid Xuanyuan Luoshan will suffer a lot.

"Your Highness, are you going to the Spring Banquet?" Taxue handed the invitation to Su Yingxue and asked.

"Go," Su Yingxue didn't even reach out to take the invitation. After listening to Taxue's report on the latest situation of Fengxiang Palace, she casually threw a handful of fish food into the pond. Koi carps of various colors, red, black, and gold, quickly swam over and crowded together to compete for the food.

For a moment, the calm pool was filled with ripples and waves because of the swimming fish, which was very lively.

As spring approached, perhaps because Su Qinhuai felt guilty about his youngest sister being imprisoned, he still had some affection for Xuanyuan Luoshan as a husband and wife, and after all, he could not punish her too harshly.

Therefore, Mr. Mo Li's death sentence and the main garden of the newly renovated Princess Palace were Su Qinhuai's compensation to Su Yingxue.

Su Yingxue's favorite part of this newly renovated garden is the koi pond. They were so cute when they were first brought here, and now they've grown quite a bit thanks to her feeding. Their round, plump bodies, each one plump and smooth, are incredibly adorable.

"Your Highness, since you are going, I will send a few more secret guards to protect you. The banquet this time is not held in the palace, so you'd better be cautious." Taxue whispered after hearing this.

"Just do whatever you want." Su Yingxue said nonchalantly. Now in the court, the forces were actually balanced among three parties. Originally, the Xuanyuan family and the Shangguan family were one and the only one in power.

Now, Zhuge Xuanyu and the Qingliu civil servants can already fight on equal terms with the two forces, and Xuanyuan Luoshan has also kept a low profile because of the loss he suffered last time.

In short, if you want to completely disintegrate the power of the two families and Xuanyuan Luoshan, there is still a long way to go.

"It seems that the Spring Banquet in previous years was not held outside the palace. Who will be attending this time?"

Su Yingxue asked casually.

"It seems that in addition to His Highness, there is also His Highness Changle, as well as some young men from aristocratic families. There are also some young men whose fathers either hold high positions in the court or are fathers of men who hold military power. It seems that they are looking for a consort for His Highness and His Highness Changle."

Upon hearing this, Taxue reported to Su Yingxue based on the secret guard's investigation.

I have to admit that the dark web that Chu Xingchen has been operating over the years is indeed useful.

"Even if she's looking for a consort, Xuanyuan Luoshan is good at cultivating her reputation as a virtuous queen, and she respects the order of seniority. She will definitely choose someone to be my consort."

"In this way, it will be a natural process to select the right young talent for Her Royal Highness Princess Changle."

"However, if you say that those talented people were introduced to me, I don't quite believe it."

Su Yingxue looked at the koi in the pond. They all gathered around her in the water where the food was scattered, fighting over the food. It was lively and sad.

But on second thought, she was no different from these koi.

The koi fish lives for a bite of food, and she lives for survival in another world.

"She was originally so afraid of the Nangong family's resurgence, but now, no matter how she thinks about it, she can't introduce me to those children of noble families and powerful officials whose fathers held great political power or military power and whose conduct is upright."

"She's desperately trying to kill me to eliminate future trouble. This time, I've taken out Mr. Mo Li, her most capable advisor, and severely damaged the foundations of the Shangguan and Xuanyuan families. I'm afraid she's already feeling really bad for me."

"Taxue, this spring banquet is bound to be a den of dragons and tigers."

"You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others."

"After all, she is the emperor's sister-in-law, and the emperor also respects and loves her."

"If she behaves herself from now on, I will no longer confront her."

"If she insists on crossing my bottom line again and again, then I will have no choice but to fight her."

Su Yingxue looked at the fish in the pond tossing and turning and shoving each other for a little bit of food. She felt sad and couldn't help but feel pity for them. She threw another handful of food to the fish, causing the water surface to flutter.

The koi were colorful, and the water in the pond was rippling and splashing. Su Yingxue looked at them, thinking, and just stared at the koi in a trance.
