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

"Your Highness," Qin Dong said softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear when he saw Situ Qingming stand up and leave, and there was no one around.

"Taxue reported to me yesterday that a man in black tried to break into His Highness's chambers late at night. His strength should not be underestimated. Taxue fought him for a long time, but in the end, he was not captured and escaped."

"So last night, Qin Dong secretly transferred several maids who were hiding in Shuibo Pavilion without informing anyone, and had them take over your shift and guard you."

Qin Dong was filled with fear when he thought of what happened last night. The Princess had just recovered from an assassination attempt, and if it happened again, he and all the other palace maids would be utterly wrathful.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid your whereabouts have been exposed. The other party is in the dark, and you are in the light." Qin Dong's face was solemn, and he reminded with a hint of hesitation, "Qin Dong feels that Your Highness should not stay here. Why don't you return to the palace? Qin Dong will have someone disguise themselves and complete the next competition for you?"

Su Yingxue heard this and said calmly, "But I didn't encounter any danger last night."

"Maybe the thief is not coming for me." Su Yingxue said lightly. She had a good rest last night and did not feel unwell.

Perhaps because of the previous assassination, Qin Dong was a little bit perceptive and cared too much about her safety, so he made a fuss out of nothing.

Su Yingxue looked indifferently at Mo Yunsheng, who was not far ahead and had picked up a pen to write a poem. She understood in her heart that if she was really Su Yingxue, she would not come here.

But she happened to be Zhang Susu, and she was afraid that this opportunity to spend time with her target would never come again.

"It's okay, brother. That person probably wasn't targeting me." Su Yingxue felt that perhaps that person wasn't targeting her. If he came for her, based on the ability of the assassin from the last assassination, she would have been killed or at least ripped off a layer of skin.

"If you are worried, just arrange a few more secret guards. The secret guards allocated this time are all top masters, so there should be no problem." Su Yingxue said lightly.

In the distance, talented scholars and beautiful women sat writing poems, or pondering deeply, frowning and pausing. Those who could stand here to compete were the best of their respective colleges.

Among them are many children of wealthy and powerful families. Therefore, the handsome men and beautiful women in front of a graceful plum forest is also a very beautiful picture.

Su Yingxue's eyes never left the white robe. Mo Yunsheng didn't pick up his pen, but sat quietly in thought. Behind him was a plum blossom in full bloom, its blood-red color making his white robe appear even whiter.

"Qin Dong, do you have any spies in the examination room?" Su Yingxue asked lightly.

"Your Highness, it's the maid in yellow." Qin Dong replied softly.

Su Yingxue said softly, "Tell her to keep an eye on it. I'm afraid someone might have bad intentions. You can't have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against them... Just do this..."

Su Yingxue gave the order softly. The result of this assessment was a matter of life and death for her. She didn't want to die on the day when Chu Xingchen broke into the gate of Dasheng five years later, so she had to try her best.

Do your best and leave the rest to fate. Su Yingxue will not compromise on her principles. She will accept whatever results Mo Yunsheng deserves.

However, Su Yingxue would never give anyone with ulterior motives the opportunity to do harm. If the points belonged to Mo Yunsheng, not a single point could be lost.

"Yes." Qin Dong heard this and left on his own.

Su Yingxue sat alone at the elegant banquet table, feeling quite at peace. The competition was so intense that most of the other team members, like Situ Qingming, gathered outside the red line of the Plum Garden, eagerly watching their teammates' answers.

At the deserted banquet, apart from Su Yingxue sitting there elegantly drinking tea, there was a scholar in blue clothes sitting at the end of the table.

When Su Yingxue turned around to look at him, she happened to see him looking back at her.

The man's eyes were as deep as the abyss, with a kind of obsession that was hard to fathom, and he just stared at himself deeply.

Su Yingxue pondered for a moment before she remembered that it was the blue-clothed scholar she had met in the library yesterday.

Strangely enough, Su Yingxue felt that the man looked extremely ordinary, but his eyes always gave people a sense of murderous intent.

The scholar in blue was obviously sitting at the last seat, which was the most humble, but Su Yingxue always felt that he was sitting in a dignified manner, and his every move unconsciously revealed an aura that forced her to take a few more glances at him.

Just as Su Yingxue was silently watching that person, Taxue had already walked to her side. Taxue lowered his head, leaned over to her ear, and whispered, "Miss, maybe you remembered it wrongly and didn't find the purse on the bed."

"No," Su Yingxue heard this. She remembered that she had specially taken the purse to her pillow and placed it there last night because from the beginning, she had decided to give the purse as a gift for Mo Yunsheng's promotion today.

This is also why the members of other groups are very worried about the situation of their own team members, but Su Yingxue is not worried.

Because the original text of the novel mentioned that Mo Yunsheng was one of the few people who won the final of the plum blossom viewing banquet and entered the top tower of the library to meet the great scholar judges.

According to the original structure of the novel, Mo Yunsheng is the winner.

But Su Yingxue couldn't be completely sure now, because since she came to this strange world from the book, she found that she had changed a lot of the structure and flow of the original book along the way.

Some scenes in the books were not triggered in the other world, and the endings in some books also changed due to her different choices.

So now Su Yingxue feels that for her, the original novel can only be used as a reference, because perhaps because of her sudden insertion and intervention mode that does not follow the plot of the original book, the plot of the original book has changed to a certain extent.

"Miss, Taxue has been delayed for so long because I have searched almost the entire room but couldn't find the purse you mentioned." Taxue was also puzzled when she heard this. Could this purse grow legs and fly?

"Or maybe the lady left it somewhere, or hid it somewhere? Or forgot it herself?" Taxue asked hesitantly.

"Perhaps it's possible..." Su Yingxue thought it made sense. After all, in modern times, her memory wasn't great, and she was always forgetting things. Now it seemed that this was indeed a possibility. Perhaps she had forgotten something in the palace?

"Taxue, go to the wing room again..." Su Yingxue thought for a moment. Fortunately, she never did anything without preparation. Since the modern era, Zhang Susu knew that you always need to have a Plan B for everything.

In this world, nothing will develop 100% according to your ideas.

Therefore, a backup plan must be prepared. Opportunities are always fleeting, but opportunities are always prepared for those who are prepared.

If you want to be absolutely sure, you have to be more careful.

Ever since she almost died in another world after the last assassination attempt, Su Yingxue couldn't go back to her carefree self because she had to start making plans for herself.
