Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

There is no wind tonight, but when he and I face each other through the window, I can vaguely feel the cold air flowing.

I slowly pushed myself closer to the man in front of me, until he whispered, "If I were an assassin, would you still be alive?"

While speaking, he looked away. I stared straight at his lips, tracing his pursed lips with my eyes. Some abnormal thoughts popped up in my mind, and then my body subconsciously did it.

It was just a light touch like a dragonfly skimming the water, and then they separated.

The shock in his eyes brought me back to my senses and made me realize that I seemed to have gone too far.

"Although I don't know how you happened to appear, but after all you saved my life, I should thank you..."

The shock in his eyes just now seemed to be just my illusion. At this moment, he had replaced it with a faint smile. He lowered his head and leaned close to my ear, "Is this how you thank people? You even rubbed your lip balm on me."

No way! I've already washed my face and didn't put anything on it.

I even reached out to touch my lips to confirm again, but I heard him continue to whisper, "I'll give it back to you."

A hand hooked the back of my neck and pulled me forward. My upper body had to stick out of the window frame, and my whole body seemed to be held in his arms.

This time he took the initiative to kiss her, not just a light touch, but an active invasion with skill.

I was completely enveloped by his breath, and I felt like I was about to suffocate. I wrapped my arms around his waist, trembling and gasping slightly in his arms.

It was only a few seconds, but it felt like a long, intimate entanglement before he let go and gently pushed me back.

After leaving his arms, I was still gasping for breath, like a drowning person who had just been pulled out of the water, breathing in big gulps of fresh air.

"Go and rest. Nothing will happen tonight." He jumped back and returned to the top of the wall. It was as if he had eyes on his back. He looked at me and casually waved his hand back. His body swung away following the pull of the hook rope and soon disappeared into the night without a trace.

If I hadn't seen it all with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that he really appeared, coming and going without a trace, like a ghost.

However, that night just as he said, I slept till dawn.

When it was daybreak, Xueyan brought me news that Zhuquanyuan had sent me Zhao Ma's confession from the interrogation process for me to review.

Although Situ Jue didn't say anything when he left last night, it now seems that he had ordered his servants to do this overnight.

The reason why Aunt Zhao wanted to attack me was because her two sons were beaten by the debt collectors from the gambling house. One of them fell off his horse and broke his leg, and the other fell off a cliff and died on the spot. Zhao's father was also missing, so she attributed all this to me.

It was me who dismissed the Zhao father and son from their jobs as village heads, and it was me who cut off their source of income, causing the two sons to be unable to pay off their gambling debts. Anyway, their family was having a hard time, so they might as well just die. I took advantage of the night of Situ Jue's wedding banquet for taking a concubine to take action.

To be honest, I really underestimated the evil of human nature. Madam Zhao's plan was indeed impeccable. I almost died here.

Lei Ming, who was delivering the confession, waited for me to finish reading it before speaking, "The prince asked the princess how she plans to deal with this time?"

"The country has its own laws, the family has its own rules, so just deal with it as it should be dealt with." I closed the paper, without any mercy.

"The prince also said that the other servants in your Suxin Pavilion also need to be cleaned up. Keeping servants who have two minds around is always a hidden danger."

"I know, I'll take care of it."

I originally planned to wait until Situ Jue took in a concubine and felt better before I talked to him about the divorce for us, but the disturbance caused by Madam Zhao was not big, but not small either. Many of the troubles that the Zhao family father and son caused outside were under the banner of the palace. Because I checked the accounts and uncovered their true colors, and asked Situ Jue's people to come forward to crack down on them, it caused some commotion in the capital.

After all, Situ Jue still holds an official position. If he gets a reputation for not managing his family well, not only will he lose face, but the Shen family will not be much better off either.

I want to escape from the palace, but now is not a good time.

So the final result was that Madam Zhao and her family disappeared quietly. It is unknown whether they were sent away or silenced.

It was the magpie who came to serve me tea that afternoon.

Look at her rosy face and the smile on her lips that she can't hide. It seems that Situ Jue treats her well, so I feel relieved.

"Okay, we're all family, there's no need for so many rules. Come here and sit down and talk." I stopped her from kneeling down and performing a formal ceremony.

But she still snatched Xueyan's work and insisted on pouring tea for me personally and completing the tea-serving ceremony.

"Last night, I heard..." Xi Que stopped talking halfway, perhaps because she saw the hint from Xue Yan's eyes, and changed the subject, "There were a lot of things going on last night, and I'm sure the princess is tired, so I won't gossip any more. From now on, I will serve the prince and princess wholeheartedly, and I will be loyal to the princess as before..."

"From now on, just concentrate on serving the prince."

"Princess...Princess, are you still angry with me? Are you unwilling to forgive me?" As Xi Que spoke, her eyes turned red again.

"That's not what I meant. Don't think too much about it." I rubbed my temple impatiently.

Xueyan stepped forward and helped Xi Que up, "Princess, you didn't get enough rest last night. Why don't you let her rest for a while longer?"

"Oh, it's my fault for not thinking it through. I'll take my leave now."

"Go ahead." I waved my hand.

When she heard Xueyan supporting Xi Que as they escorted her out, she whispered, "Your status is different now. You don't have to call yourself a slave in front of the princess all the time. If outsiders hear it, they will think that our princess is deliberately treating you harshly."

I leaned back in my chair and closed my eyes, but I couldn't help but smile helplessly. There were so many rules in ancient times. If Xueyan hadn't mentioned them, I wouldn't have noticed these details.

It was a lazy nap in the autumn afternoon. The sun was warm and shining into the house, making me feel lazy. I fell asleep in a short while. But the sun didn't last long, and I woke up from the cold soon. There was a soft mattress on the other side of the bench, but I was too lazy to move, so I stretched my feet to hook it.

After two attempts, he failed to hook the mattress over and instead dropped it onto the floor.

"Oh——" I sighed heavily and lay back down, thinking that I should get up after lying down for another two minutes and that I couldn't continue to degenerate like this.

Then I heard a chuckle, and someone picked up the mattress on the floor and covered my legs with it.

I opened my eyes and looked at the person who came, a little surprised, "Doctor Sun?"

"Your Highness is so polite. I have been ordered to come here to take your pulse. It is a relief that your Highness just lies down and there is no need to move." He bowed to me with such a respectful attitude that I actually felt embarrassed.
