Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book
Chapter 19 Visiting the scene in person
I don’t know how long I was unconscious. When I regained consciousness, I first smelled a familiar smell of alcohol, followed by a warm touch.
My mind cleared up instantly, but my body was still unable to move, until I heard a man's voice, "Why did you bring it here? Aren't you going to get rid of it?"
Then the answer came from above my head, "I have my own plan, don't worry."
The person on the other side said impatiently, "Hurry up, don't mess things up!"
"clear."
As the sound of footsteps faded away, I was put on the floor by the person who answered the question, and he pushed me inside.
"If you wake up, just run away." Hearing this, I was even more shocked. Did he find out that I was awake? But how could I dare to move at this time? Although I didn't know who the other party was, it seemed that he was planning some conspiracy.
Any scene with the protagonist in it will always trigger some dangerous plot. I heard the conversation between him and the other person just now. I can't guarantee that he wasn't deliberately speaking in a sarcastic way to deceive me. If I really fell for it, I might be killed on the spot as soon as I opened my eyes.
After all, my character is just a supporting role who died young. I can die at any time without any halo to protect me.
After the man let go, he walked away.
After waiting for a long time and making sure there was no sound around, I carefully opened my eyes. However, the light in front of me was dim and the space was small. I bumped my head with a dull sound when I moved a little. I was so scared that I dared not move anymore. I looked around vigilantly and listened for a while. I was relieved when I confirmed that there was no movement.
Finally, I found that I was stuffed under the bed by that person. It should still be in Xu's mansion. Fortunately, the floor under the bed had been scrubbed and swept, so there was no dust.
Just as I was about to use my hands and feet to climb out, I suddenly heard movement outside, as if someone was talking.
"Yes, it is right here, but the princess does not allow me to disturb you, and I dare not... Madam Xu, please stay... Madam Xu..."
"Get out of the way!" This was Su Mei's voice, with a hint of anger.
"Madam Xu, there is really only my princess inside! Madam Xu, don't barge in!"
With a creak, the door was pushed open, and Su Mei seemed to come in directly.
I was a little confused. The maid said the princess was in the room, but I didn't hear any sound. Could it be that the princess was sleeping too deeply? Should I move now or continue hiding?
While I was hesitating, I saw Su Mei standing beside the bed, and her pair of embroidered shoes was about a foot away from me.
"Princess? Princess Yanyun? Please forgive my rudeness..." Su Mei leaned forward, as if she was trying to lift the bed curtain.
Then I heard a scream, and she covered her mouth before she could even shout. Su Mei took several steps back, which made me under the bed start to get nervous.
Su Mei seemed to be panicked and was about to walk out, but she was tripped by something and fell to the ground, making a series of noises of falling and bumping.
Only then did she let out a genuine and suppressed scream, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying.
She climbed up from the floor trembling, and seemed to have struggled several times before she walked out. As soon as she opened the door, she screamed again.
"It's me! What's wrong? You look so bad, are you feeling unwell?" The voice belonged to Situ Jue.
"Why are you here?" Su Mei asked back with a hint of doubt in her tone.
Situ Jue replied, "I drank too much, so I came out to get some fresh air. I just passed by here and saw the door was half-open, so I wanted to come in and sit for a while. Isn't this the guest room of the Xu Mansion? I don't think I'm mistaken."
"If Your Majesty wants to rest, you can go to the East Courtyard. Someone is already resting here, so it might be inconvenient." Su Mei's voice had returned to calm.
I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity when they were talking at the door to crawl out from under the bed and escape through the back window. But just when I crawled a little bit, I saw a maid lying on the floor outside with blood under her. I was stunned.
"Is your hand injured?" Situ Jue suddenly asked.
"Nothing, just a small matter." Su Mei's voice was cold, but Situ Jue seemed to have done something. She reminded loudly, "Prince, we are no longer children. Please be careful."
"What are you thinking about? Madam Xu, I am just concerned about my friend..."
"If Your Majesty really wants to show concern, please go back to the front yard and call Chang'an over for me, and don't alarm anyone else." Su Mei softened her tone, as if she was begging.
Situ Jue was a little confused, "What happened? Is there anything I can help with?"
"No one else can help you with this matter." Su Mei refused him.
Maybe I was frightened by the corpse in front of me. I didn't hear what they said later. I was just thinking about how to leave the crime scene. According to Su Mei's reaction just now, the princess seemed to be lying on the bed above my head, and her life or death was unknown. If others saw me here, I couldn't wash myself clean even if I jumped into the Yellow River.
At this critical moment, my courage suddenly came up. While Su Mei and the others were already outside and had closed the door, I quickly crawled out from under the bed.
The layout of this house is not complicated, but when I opened the back window, I was dumbfounded. This guest room was built next to the pool.
When I opened the back window, there was no road outside, just a huge pond with a few lotus leaves and withered lotus flowers floating in the distance.
Although I can swim, if I go into the water now, it will definitely make a lot of noise.
I flipped out and hung out the window, thinking of using my belt as a leash to swing to the rocks by the pond. Perhaps because my body had never been properly exercised, before I could untie my belt, the strength to support myself with one hand was gradually insufficient, and my fingers and arms were sore.
At the moment when I was about to lose my grip and fall straight out of the window, someone suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled me up.
Before I could react, I was hugged in his arms.
"Hold me." The man showed a hook and didn't explain much.
I recognized his voice and without hesitation, I hugged his waist tightly. Then he put one hand around me and took me out of the house. Without making much noise, we were already on the roof several feet away.
He retracted the hook rope, picked me up, jumped, and landed on the ground.
When my feet were back on solid ground, I still didn't let go of his hand, but looked curiously at the half-mask on his face. The texture of the mask seemed to be made of paper, but I could remember the eyes.
"Reluctant to let go?" He curled his lips and smiled.
My heart seemed to have just come to life and started beating again. I let go and took two steps back to distance myself from him.
"If you go in that direction, you will soon see the yard where the servants rest. Find your servants and leave the Xu Mansion as soon as possible. Don't tell anyone about what happened today, otherwise... you know the consequences." He still kept smiling, but spoke threatening words.
I pretended to be frightened and nodded repeatedly, but in fact the real fear I had just felt had subsided a lot.
