Being a cannon fodder female supporting role is not as good as marrying a lucky villain

Taking advantage of the night, one man and one horse galloped on the official road to Jiangnan.

At that time, Jiangning had returned to its former prosperity.

The dykes and dams in various places have already been reinforced, and except for Mingzhou and Runzhou, none of them have been hit by floods.

And the refugees who came to Jiangning receded like a flood without knowing it, and there were only a few refugees scattered on the streets.

Chu Yunyi, who was sitting in the front hall, was gently talking to the eldest princess about his measures to deal with refugees.

Gu Ning sat on the side, seemingly playing with the teacup in his hand, but in fact he had already pricked up his ears, unwilling to miss every word Chu Yunyi said.

"I have already sent people to other state capitals to send news that all places in the south of the Yangtze River can accept refugees. Now it seems that this measure is indeed of great benefit to refugees."

whispering sound!

Gu Ning secretly rolled his eyes.

These few days Chu Yunyi was busy flirting with the Chen family, so he definitely didn't go to resettle the refugees himself, otherwise, he wouldn't be so stupid that he didn't even know where the refugees were going.

Even she knew that those refugees had flowed to the northwest border.

It's just that everyone didn't take these things to heart. They didn't expect that this group of tens of thousands of refugees was already in the hands of one person.

Thinking of this, Gu Ning secretly glanced at the eldest princess.

The eldest princess nodded her head and said appreciatively, "You have done a good job in this matter. After returning to Beijing, the emperor will surely reward you."

"No." Chu Yunyi flatly rejected the eldest princess's proposal, and he said solemnly, "Grandmother, in the final analysis, the reason why this disaster can be avoided is because Ning'er paid for the construction of the reinforced dams, this credit, It should be given to Ning'er!"

Hearing this, Gu Ning sat up straight.

Oh!Can it still have this benefit?

She didn't expect that Chu Yunyi would take the initiative to give her such a great contribution by the situation she deliberately set up in order to retreat!

At this time, the eldest princess glanced at her, implying a warning.

Seeing this, Gu Ning immediately looked away.

"Ning'er is just a girl, how can she take the credit?" The eldest princess shook her head and declined the matter.

However, as soon as these words came out, Chu Yunyi's heart was suspended.

What happened to Xu Qingqing last time caused a crack in the relationship between him and the Pei family. If he doesn't step up to mend it, how can the military power fall into his hands?

After thinking about it, the eldest princess valued Gu Ning the most, and it was best to start with Gu Ning.

But these days, Gu Ning stayed behind closed doors, and when he heard that it was him who came to the door, he even avoided seeing him, as if the woman who was full of obsession with him was his fantasy.

Because of this, he mentioned today's incident, trying to please Gu Ning.

Even he is jealous of this credit, why is the Eldest Princess unwilling to let Gu Ning take over?

"Grandmother, we all see Ning'er's efforts for this flood, so she can afford it!"

The eldest princess said quietly: "Whether you can afford it or not depends on the emperor."

Chu Yunyi was startled, he always felt that there was something in what the eldest princess said.

At this moment, Gu Ning frowned coquettishly, and said dissatisfiedly: "Grandmother, I took out all my private money, why can't I take the credit? Uncle Huang likes me so much, he will definitely reward me mine!"

She was full of admiration for the emperor, which made Chu Yunyi relax a lot.

"Yes." Chu Yunyi smiled, "Father cares more about Ning'er than our brothers and sisters."

The Eldest Princess seemed to be persuaded, and after a moment of hesitation, she sighed, acquiescing to Chu Yunyi's actions.

Gu Ning clapped his hands happily, still innocent and ignorant.

Seeing her like this, Chu Yunyi was relieved.

No matter what, as long as Gu Ning is still on his side, the Pei family will always be in his pocket!

After the calculating Chu Yunyi left, Gu Ning let out a long sigh of relief.

"It can be regarded as gone." She rubbed her cheeks and said in a muffled voice, "My face is almost frozen from laughing."

The Eldest Princess stood beside her and gave her a sudden blow on the head.

Gu Ning was in pain, and quickly covered her head. After seeing the sharp eyes of the eldest princess from the corner of her eyes, she quickly closed her mouth again, daring not to say a single unnecessary word.

"Your grandfather and I are not old yet! We can protect you!" The Eldest Princess said coldly, "Why do you want to be this target?"

She slapped the table hard, her anger evident.

Gu Ning stepped forward quickly, and held her hand like a dog: "Grandma, if you are angry, be angry, but don't hurt your hand!"

"You... If you are still angry, hit me!"

After all, she stretched out her hand obediently.

"Nonsense!" The eldest princess poked her on the head angrily, "Why am I willing to beat you?"

"That's right." Nanny Gui also echoed, "Since you were young, even if you accidentally knocked on your head, the princess will feel sorry for you half the time!"

Gu Ning raised her beautiful face, looked at her pitifully weak and helpless: "But I feel that grandma is very angry today..."

"That's natural!" The eldest princess mentioned this matter, and her anger was visible to the naked eye. "Before you cut it first and then played it, and strengthened the dam in your own name, it has already attracted people's attention! Now you want to take over this Do you think those little girls in Beijing are not envious of you enough?"

"I know you want to share our worries, but I have been fighting with your grandfather for so many years, isn't it for you to live a safe and smooth life?"

The Eldest Princess' tone softened, and she said earnestly, "You have to listen to me and leave this credit to King Duan."

"But..." Gu Ning whispered against the cold gaze of the Eldest Princess, "If I am protected by you under your wings like my mother, and I don't know much about the world, will I be blinded like my mother in the future? Still complacent in the drum?"

Before the Eldest Princess could speak, she heard Gu Ning continue: "Mother has a noble status, Gu Zhiyuan was able to marry her, it was a blessing in his previous life, but who would have thought that before he married his mother, he had We have a daughter, and we are still under our noses, and we took our daughter by our side to raise her."

"Grandmother, if you were you, I'm afraid you would have noticed the abnormality long ago, but mother didn't notice it at all, and thought that Gu Zhiyuan was devoted to her wholeheartedly."

Gu Ning looked up at the Eldest Princess, her eyes were very calm, and she would not even have any emotional fluctuations because of the disgusting things Gu Zhiyuan did.

At this time, the eldest princess was full of persuasion, but was suppressed by these words.

After a while, she rested her forehead and sighed softly: "You're right, I protected Anyang so well that I made her so stupid! I can't even see the true face of the person next to me!"

Gu Ning acted according to circumstances, leaned close to the eldest princess, and whispered: "But I am different, you see, I discovered the true face of King Duan early on! I can even turn him into an army!"

The eldest princess glanced at her, but did not refute, she just said indifferently: "Speaking of which, what are your plans?"

"Well..." Gu Ning leaned over to the Eldest Princess' ear and whispered a few words.

The Eldest Princess' complexion changed again and again, the words of reprimand came to her lips, but she swallowed them back.

She looked at Gu Ning fixedly, and asked in a deep voice: "Are you really going to take such a risk?"

"Grandma, other than this, I have no other options." Gu Ning said with a sad face, "If you don't help me, I really don't know what to do!"

The eldest princess snorted coldly: "Are you doing this because of Prince Duan's profanity, or because of the banquet?"

Gu Ning's heart skipped a beat, his face changed slightly.

Soon she lowered her eyes again, hiding her guilty conscience: "Grandma, just say yes or no!"

"Okay." The eldest princess waved her hand, "If I don't agree to you, I'm afraid you have to arrange it in private. Instead of putting you in danger, it's better to let me come forward and finish this matter for you. When are you going to start?"

Gu Ning smiled slyly: "The Empress Dowager's Birthday Banquet!"

……

After the flood, the capital city of Mingzhou was in a mess, with dead bodies and weeping people everywhere.

In the humid environment filled with stench, several black shadows climbed over the wall of Zhizhou's mansion neatly.

The head of the person was covered with a mask, only a pair of phoenix eyes were shining brightly, shining with a cold light.

"Master, the entire Mingzhou has been flooded. Are the things we want really still there?"

Yue Ming covered his nose with disgust on his face.

Beside him, there are several people dressed as refugees.

Standing on this open space, one can vaguely see the bustling shadow of the mansion before.

Xie Yan looked around, and finally stood in front of a collapsed house.

"Fucheng was flooded yesterday. The flood receded this morning. It took only one night. Those things should not be destroyed."

"Move these boards away, and the chamber of secrets should be right below."

Several people heard the words and immediately took action.

Xie Yan lowered his eyes, and the entire mansion appeared in front of his eyes.

"It's a trivial matter, why did the master come with you?" Yue Rong whispered.

Yue Ming stared at him fiercely: "When will it be your turn to comment on the master's decision?"

But after a while, he lowered his voice again, and said almost breathlessly: "I think the master must have been annoyed by the county master for a long time, and wants to come out to get some fresh air."

Before the two of them finished speaking, they saw a shadow in front of them.

When she raised her head, she met Xie Yan's indifferent eyes.

"What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing, nothing..." Yue Rong quickly waved his hand, and quickly accelerated the movement of his hand.

Fortunately, God couldn't bear him being punished, so he quickly dug up a hard object.

"Found it!" Looking at the large piece of ground with a metallic luster under his feet, Yue Rong said in surprise, "Such a large piece of refined copper must be the secret room you mentioned, master!"

Seeing Yue Ming, he had already found the entrance.

Seeing the silly smiles on the faces of the two brothers, Xie Yan pursed his thin lips, and finally pretended that he had not heard what they said before, walked around the two of them, and walked to the entrance.

He stared at the dark door in front of him, feeling a rare wave of hesitation.
