Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

Before going to look for Xi Que and the others, I went around to a small pond and deliberately got my skirt and shoes wet before continuing on my way.

The weather was hot, and the wet footprints left along the way quickly disappeared, but the thick layers of my skirt did not dry so quickly.

When I found the maid, I said that I accidentally went to the wrong place when I went to change clothes after leaving the table, and slipped into the pond, getting my clothes dirty. I asked Xueyan to accompany me back first, and Xi Que stayed to inform the prince and the host family, and then Xi Que would go back to the palace with the prince.

Of course, Magpie was satisfied with this arrangement and agreed to it immediately.

Xueyan has always been very sensible. She didn't ask any more questions and just helped me go outside.

On the way, I pretended to be unwell, and the people in Xu's house saw it. Xueyan explained for me.

After returning safely to the palace, my heart was still beating fast. As a witness to the important plot of the story, I felt scared and excited at the same time.

I originally thought that this world was virtual and all the characters were main NPCs and idle NPCs, but it was still very shocking to see someone die in front of me. Although I tried hard to detach myself from my emotions and not let myself be too immersed, I still couldn't slow down my heartbeat.

Xueyan said that I didn't look well. Should we ask Doctor Sun to come and take a look?

After thinking about it, I decided to do it in full swing and agreed.

At night, after Doctor Sun took my pulse, he probably sensed that I was in an abnormal mood, so he told me to take care of myself. When he wanted to prescribe sedatives for me, I shook my head and refused.

"I'm not saying that you, Doctor Sun, are not a good doctor, but I really don't like taking medicine. It's too bitter."

"The prescriptions I gave to the princess before were specially formulated and contained a lot of licorice. It shouldn't be too bitter..." He began to think about this problem seriously.

I smiled helplessly. For someone who drinks milk tea every day, no matter how much licorice you add, I will still find it bitter.

"Is it possible that in the future, all the medicines I take can be made into pills so that I can swallow them directly? Is that okay?"

"You can try some prescriptions, but some medicinal materials are not suitable for being processed into pills. The method of making pills..."

"Well then," I interrupted him hastily, "We'll do what we can. If it really can't be made into pills, we can boil it into a decoction."

When I thought about the fact that I would probably have to take a lot of Chinese medicine in the future, I couldn't help but feel a headache. I stretched out my hand and asked Xueyan to go and get some reward money for Doctor Sun.

Doctor Sun saluted me with a smile and then walked out.

As soon as he left, Situ Jue came back and rushed in like a gust of wind.

"How are you? Are you feeling unwell?" He hurried over, sat down beside my couch, and reached out to grab my hand that was placed on the quilt.

Looking at his concerned look and thinking back to the conversation I heard in Xu's house, I just felt sick to my stomach.

"Nothing, why did you come back so soon?" As I spoke, I saw the magpie following behind me with a gloomy face, not hiding his disappointment at all.

"I heard that you left because you were not feeling well. How could I still want to stay in the Xu Mansion? I said hello to Xu Changan and the old lady and came back."

I pulled my hand out of his, "It's getting late, I don't have anything to do here, you should go to bed early."

Situ Jue's face froze, and he was silent for a moment before he replied, "Well, take a good rest."

Seeing him getting up to leave, I spoke again, "Your Majesty, why don't you let Xi Que serve you."

The magpie had already retreated to the door, and upon hearing this he subconsciously took another step forward.

"What do you mean?" Situ Jue frowned slightly and raised his voice a few degrees.

"It's just what you think. She is intelligent and truly admires the prince..."

"Shen Xingye!" He interrupted me coldly, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"Of course I know. I'm choosing a concubine for you."

"Ridiculous!" He flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked out with big strides.

The magpie could hear it clearly from outside, and took the opportunity to follow a few steps, saying loudly, "Go slowly, Your Majesty."

Situ Jue seemed to remember something, looked back at her, then turned around and walked out without saying a word.

When the magpie came back, she saluted to me shyly and said, "Thank you, Princess, for your arrangement, but the prince seems... not very willing..."

"Men always say one thing and mean another. I may have mentioned it hastily. Let him take it easy while I talk to the Concubine Dowager. Don't worry, I will make sure this matter is arranged for you. Just take good care of the prince from now on."

"Thank you, Princess!" Xi Que wanted to kowtow to me immediately. I quickly stretched out my hand to stop her and let her go first.

The next morning, I heard Xueyan talking about the fire in Xu's mansion yesterday.

It was said that the curtains in one room were blown onto the candlesticks by the wind. Because the servants were busy with the old lady's birthday banquet, the room was located in a remote area, and the fire was not known until the smoke appeared. By the time the fire was put out, it was too late.

There was new progress that afternoon. Two bodies were found in the fire scene, one of which was most likely Princess Yanyun.

After the incident became public, the princess's parents, Princess Anping and her husband, petitioned the emperor to investigate the Xu family thoroughly, and concluded that someone had murdered their daughter.

No matter what the truth was, Xu Changan was invited to the Dali Temple to assist in the investigation and never came out again.

Situ Jue entered the palace that night, naturally to plead for the Xu family.

Even if he didn't consider Su Mei's face in this matter, the Concubine Dowager had also ordered him to go to Xu's house to check out the situation and say hello to the old lady.

A few days later, I learned that all the participants of the birthday banquet had been visited by people from the Dali Temple, but they didn't dare to disturb the Zhenbei Palace easily, and Situ Jue had already been to the palace. Anyway, all the information I got was from inquiries, and I didn't even know what Situ Jue was busy with for a few days.

But the Xu family will definitely be fine. After all, how could anything happen to the male and female protagonists?

As for what happened to Princess Yanyun and her maid, I don’t know.

I have no impression of this title in the original book. She may have only appeared once or twice as a minor character. She was too involved in the plot of the main character, so it is not surprising that she got a BE ending. Moreover, Princess Yanyun's purpose was to target the heroine, so it is not surprising that she disappeared.

Emotionally, I still can't get over the shock of seeing the blood all over the floor that day, but intellectually I try to take it lightly and not be affected by it.

I always remind myself that everything here has nothing to do with me, and my only goal is to find a way to leave this world and go back to where I came from.

So, I avoided the important characters in the book's plot to reduce the impact of the plot on me, but there was one person I had to meet.

Late at night, when everything was quiet, I changed into dark clothes and sneaked out through a small door.
