Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

It was worth it that I spent several days secretly drawing the floor plan of the palace. At least I won’t get lost when I travel around.

When I sneaked to the vicinity of the Beast Courtyard at night, I could already hear some nocturnal birds flapping their wings and occasionally making threatening noises to intimidate other birds of the same kind. No wonder this place was built in the remote west, far away from the courtyard of the Concubine Tai and Situ Jue.

Hearing this kind of bird call in the middle of the night can really scare people.

I went around to the servants' quarters. There were not many people here. Apart from the manager Qian Er, there were only Jia Liu, who specialized in taming animals, and Zhao Zhu, who looked after birds.

I had asked Wen Qiao to inquire indirectly before. Jia Liu said a few days ago that his father was seriously ill and he took a few days off to take care of him. He said he would be back tomorrow. So I came a day in advance to check out the place. I still had some impression of running around after getting drunk last time. Jia Liu's house seemed to be on the second floor, and it took a long flight of stairs.

Now that I am awake I see that the staircase is not very long, but because the steps are made of wood it is difficult not to make noise.

After I walked up carefully, I leaned on the door, thinking that it would be locked if no one was there, but I didn't see any padlock.

I just placed my palm lightly on the door panel, and I heard a sharp creaking sound, and the door was pushed open by me.

Feeling guilty, he quickly held onto the door panel to prevent it from moving any further, in order to avoid making too much noise. After all, there were two living people downstairs.

I slipped sideways through the crack in the door and entered the room. There wasn't much furniture in the room, and there was a faint smell of alcohol.

With the moonlight outside the window, I was looking around to see if I could find any clues about my identity, but unfortunately, there was only one place in the room where I could put things that I could see at a glance, and there was no other place except that wooden cabinet.

This wooden cabinet is an ordinary three-layer combination cabinet structure, with sliding doors on the top and bottom and drawers in the middle layer.

I remembered that there were some trauma medicines in the middle drawer, and I found that when I opened it. When I turned around and opened another drawer next to it to see what else was there, I suddenly heard a whisper in my ear.

"What are you looking for so carefully?" I didn't notice when the person who spoke got right behind me.

Moreover, he was so close to me that his breath felt on my skin. The warm air flow made me feel a little itchy, but more importantly, I felt a sudden sense of fear.

I shuddered suddenly and turned around to find that the owner of the house had returned.

He took two steps forward aggressively, forcing me to retreat back to lean against the cabinet, but he still had to give a dry laugh to show his weakness, "When did you come back?"

"When did you know that?" He was a head taller than me, and when he lowered his eyes to stare at me, most of his facial features were hidden in the shade and could not be seen clearly, but his eyes were bright enough to be frightening.

"Know...know what?" I asked subconsciously, but my mind recalled the red color flowing freely on the floor of the guest room in Xu's mansion.

"You let your little maid secretly inquire about me, and now you want to keep pretending?" As he spoke, he leaned his arms on the cabinet door like a fence to trap me in. On the other side was a wall, leaving me no way to survive.

"I only know that you are a spy. I don't know who is behind you. I don't care who you are trying to kill or what you are planning. I won't tell anyone."

There is no way out, so I might as well lay my cards on the table. The worst that can happen is that I will be silenced.

Maybe I'll be home when I open my eyes again.

He didn't reply for a long time, nor did he make any movement. He just stared into my eyes, as if judging something.

"Then, can I go now?" Seeing that he didn't say anything, I boldly poked his arm, motioning him to make way and let me go.

He suddenly chuckled, his expression changed to a bit rogue, and he took two steps closer to me, completely blocking my way. "Princess, you don't want to report me, are you looking for a wild man? So you like rough guys like me."

It was originally a sentence that made people feel physically uncomfortable, but when he said it, I don't know why my heart suddenly beat faster.

Is this the suspension bridge effect?

His name should be fake, and this face is probably fake too. When he was in Xu's house, he wore a mask that only covered the upper half of his face. It was obvious that the outlines were different from what they are now. The voice was suppressed, but the timbre was still the same.

More importantly, it was those eyes that impressed me deeply.

Moreover, if a person wants to disguise himself, his appearance and voice can be changed, but his body shape is not so easy to handle.

At Xu's house, when he took me away, I hugged his waist. The subtle sense of familiarity produced by such close contact almost diluted the fear that filled my mind at that time.

"Then can I like you?" I asked back calmly.

It was obvious that he was shocked by my question, and his body unconsciously pulled back a little. The moonlight outside the window just happened to shine on his profile, and I could see that there was some panic in his eyes, so much so that he quickly shifted his gaze to look elsewhere and no longer looked at me.

I laughed secretly in my heart. Why was he pretending to be so high and mighty? He even deliberately said he was looking for a wild man. Would I dare to look for him?

In fact, the me in the original world probably has some similarities in character with my original self Shen Xingye. In the eyes of outsiders, I look weak and vulnerable, and I am so cautious when dealing with strangers that I am almost socially anxious.

But this world is just a virtual world in a novel, and all the characters are just NPCs. No matter what choices I make or who I really hurt, it will not cause any real harm. With my departure, the world will restart and everything will return to its original state.

It's just that I haven't found a way to leave yet.

While he was stunned, I grabbed his arm and pushed him away, intending to take the opportunity to slip away, but he seemed to be hurt by me. He gasped, held his arm, and bent over in pain.

"I didn't use much strength, how are you?"

"It's an old injury, it's none of your business. But..." He raised his head again, "Since you touched it, I'll punish you to apply medicine to me."

What’s going on? She’s acting so high and mighty again, even skipping the title of princess.

But remembering that time when I was drunk and causing trouble, he applied medicine for me, so I'll consider it as paying him back.

"Do you want to turn on a light?" The room was not very bright, and even with the moonlight I couldn't see clearly.

"No more ordering, come over here." He motioned me to the window.

After finding the wound medicine, I saw a knife wound on his right arm with traces of medicine on it, but the fresh blood had washed away the medicine.

"Why don't you suture such a deep wound?" I frowned.

"Outside, I can only deal with it briefly. I don't have that much time." He actually answered my question seriously.
