Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

Chapter 44 She No Longer Wants to Be the Heroine (44)

Yan Yue did struggle, trying to use her superb medical skills to change her fate, hoping that the emperor would let her go. When she heard that the emperor usually had headaches, she wanted to change the deadlock by using this as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, saying that she could definitely cure the emperor and give herself another chance!

But the emperor only had a headache, not a mental disability. How could he allow someone who was trying to rebel to heal him? He even suspected that the other party was using this opportunity to poison him. So he ignored Yan Yue and even told his officials not to present her words to him again, as reading them only made his headache worse.

Yan Yue's ending seemed to be decided.

Yu Ziyin was a little surprised to hear that Yan Yue had such an ending. She was even more curious about the process of how Yan Yue became the Crown Princess of Shao Lian in the original book. What kind of plot was she involved in?

But no matter how curious Yu Zinyin was, 404 could not give an answer, because it was not written in the original book and this plot was directly omitted.

……

Soon, the day of the prince's birthday banquet arrived.

Even though Shao Lian had previously told Nanny Heping not to hold a grand celebration, the prince's birthday banquet, no matter how low-key it was, would still be a major event in the capital. People from all walks of life, whether they were the prince's men or not, all came with their wives and children. All of a sudden, there were carriages outside the prince's mansion, and each person brought the best items, which were carried in one by one through the side door. Big or small, they were all items that ordinary people could not afford.

The guests included princes and princesses, as well as officials from various walks of life and their wives, daughters and children. There were a large number of them.

Among them was Liu Ziyu who came with Liu's mother. Now Liu Ziyu has called off her engagement with Cheng Ting and returned to being single. Because her sister is the prince's favorite concubine and her father was promoted not long ago, she is also a sought-after candidate for a daughter-in-law in a fifth- or fourth-rank family.

But Liu Ziyu didn't think so. She knew what position Cheng Ting would hold in the future. Even if Cheng Ting was down and out now, and she was embarrassed by him, she knew that Cheng Ting would definitely rise to become the Prime Minister in the future. So how could she look down on these young masters of the same rank or even the fourth rank? She was very indifferent to these people's advances.

And those young masters were not the kind of people who would flatter a cold butt. They quickly changed their targets and must have been speechless in their hearts. Even if Liu Ziyu and Cheng Ting had canceled their engagement voluntarily instead of one party breaking off the engagement, they were still engaged after all. They were a little inferior to those innocent young ladies who had no engagement at all. But people looked down on them at all. It was really funny. They were much better than Cheng Ting, okay?

Liu Ziyu didn't know about the twists and turns of these people, and in her heart she just hated everyone in her family to the core.

When Cheng Ting came to cancel the engagement, Liu's father and mother did not tell Liu Ziyu. They all had traditional ideas and felt that they should be the ones to decide on their children's marriage. Moreover, it would not be appropriate for their daughter to intervene in the matter of canceling the engagement. Therefore, Liu's father and mother only had Liu Ziyu brought to the front hall and told her about the cancellation of the engagement after Cheng Ting left the Liu Mansion.

Therefore, Liu Ziyu had no chance to stop them from canceling their marriage.

Liu Ziyu even wondered if Liu Ziyin had secretly persuaded her parents to quit because she didn't want her and Cheng Ting to get along! As for the evidence, it was that when Cheng Ting was demoted, Liu Ziyin didn't help him. She must have done this because she was afraid that Cheng Ting would be promoted in the future.

At that time, Liu's mother said with joy that she would find a better marriage for Liu Ziyu than Cheng Ting.

Even though Liu Ziyu cried and made a fuss, it was of no use. She was even scolded by her father, who said that she was not smart enough, could not see the situation clearly, did not consider the family, and was not like her sister Liu Zinyin at all.

Liu Ziyu felt her parents were blocking her path to happiness, and she felt resentful, believing they lacked her foresight. Consequently, she developed a rift with them and remained secluded in her room. When her mother dragged her to the prince's birthday banquet to find a better husband, she appeared deeply gloomy because of her resistance.

Many ladies from aristocratic families couldn't help but frown and feel uncomfortable when they saw Liu Ziyu like this.

Everyone could see that Liu Ziyu had no interest in his own son, and even had a hint of disdain and contempt. They couldn't help but sneer in their hearts. It was really funny. If it weren't for the fact that his sister, Concubine Liu, was favored and the Liu family was promoted, the several fifth- or fourth-rank ladies around here really wouldn't look down on such a Liu Ziyu.

As a result, they started to act arrogantly!

But no matter how unhappy everyone felt, they didn't show it on their faces and got along well with Madam Liu.

Liu Ziyu stood aside, and from time to time he glanced at Yu Zinyin who was standing next to Shao Lian and entertaining guests with him. The hatred and jealousy in his heart continued to explode like a raging fire.

If she didn't want to enter the Eastern Palace, what right did Yu Ziyin have to stand beside the Crown Prince and enjoy everyone's admiration? Now everything he got was something she didn't want, so what was she so proud of?

Now that he no longer had the good marriage opportunity with Cheng Ting, Yu Ziyin was still able to live such a good life. God was so unfair. He had clearly snatched Yu Ziyin's marriage away, but he was still being suppressed by her.

Liu Ziyu even resented in her heart why the prince did not die of the illness, leaving Yu Ziyin completely without support. But no matter how much hatred and jealousy she felt in her heart, she could not change Yu Ziyin's current situation.

Her only hope was that Shao Lian would really have a white moon princess by his side in the future as described in the book. By then, Yu Ziyin would never be as favored as she is now. And with a princess in the Prince's Mansion, Yu Ziyin's housekeeping power would be taken away, and she would become a powerless concubine who could only compete for favor with so many women. It would be best if the princess would be jealous of Yu Ziyin and suppress her severely.

But Liu Ziyu had never expected that the Crown Princess she was looking forward to seeing had been killed by the plot butterfly.

Let’s not talk about how unwilling Liu Ziyu feels now that he sees his sister living such a good life compared to his own current situation, let’s just talk about the princes.

After the second prince entered the prince's mansion, he saw many guests coming and going, all of whom were surrounding his eldest brother, and not many people came to him. His mind had long been twisted by jealousy, and he secretly hated why the assassins who came along Qingcheng to assassinate Shao Lian failed?

As the Second Prince's wife, she naturally knew her husband's ambitions. Not only did she not object, she even welcomed it, because she herself was born out of wedlock in the family. If her mother had not been favored, she would not have been able to marry the Second Prince and become his wife by stepping over the eldest daughter. Therefore, she was the one who was most opposed to the idea of ​​seniority.

She thought the same thing as the Second Prince: Why did Shao Lian become the Crown Prince, while her husband couldn't? It was just that her husband was born earlier, and even crawled out of the Empress's womb. What was so great about that? The throne should belong to the capable!
