Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

"Don't worry, Princess. His Majesty and the two princes have sent people to the foot of the mountain to rescue people. The terrain there is not very steep and there are many trees. The prince will definitely be able to turn danger into safety." Wangshan finished his report breathlessly and turned to leave. He also wanted to go back and join the rescue team.

Xueyan came over to clear the teacups and continued to persuade me.

But I was trying hard to recall the plot of the book I had read. What happened in the autumn hunting section? The one who should have fallen off the cliff was the heroine Su Mei, and then the versatile Xu Changan easily rescued her from the bottom of the cliff.

What's going on with Situ Jue? Why is he stealing the female lead's role and is he related to Prince Yu?

It was not until late at night that news came back from outside that Situ Jue had been found, only his leg was broken, but he was still alive and was sent directly back to the city. Originally, the autumn hunt was still several days away, and the palace had arranged a place for everyone to stay. Because someone was injured, the emperor left first, and the others followed.

I didn't get to join in any of the fun, so naturally I have to go back.

Situ Jue and I arrived at the palace in our carriages at the same time. I watched seven or eight strong men carry him into the palace, and he pointed at him and led him into Suxin Pavilion.

"What's going on? Don't you know the way? The prince's Bamboo Spring Courtyard is over there!" I was anxious.

"The prince is injured like this, won't the princess come to take care of him?" Situ Jue responded with confidence.

I was just about to say that I could ask Xi Que to come, when I saw two maids accompanying the concubine hurried over, so I had to swallow the words back.

"What happened? What happened? Where is my son injured?" The concubine heard that her son was injured in the autumn hunt, and she was so anxious that she didn't even comb her hair, just put on her coat and rushed out. It was the first time I saw such an uneasy concubine, and I felt sorry for her parents.

Because of this interruption, I didn't have time to stop Situ Jue from moving, and in the end all his belongings were sent over.

I could only give him half of such a big bedroom, and he even occupied my whole bed.

He himself said that he was worried that my bad sleeping posture would affect his recovery, so he let me sleep on the small bed in the ear room.

It was already late when I got back to the palace, and I had to take care of Situ Jue. Although his leg had been examined by the imperial physician, Doctor Sun checked it again after I returned to the palace. Finally, when everyone in and out had gone down, I could lie back on my little bed.

It was almost dawn outside. I was sleepy and tired. I could still vaguely hear Situ Jue calling my name, so I simply covered my head with the quilt and pretended to sleep.

I slept until the afternoon of the next day. Du Juan, who was helping me wash up, couldn't help but sigh, "When the concubine came this morning, I wanted to wake you up, but the prince said you were tired last night and asked you to rest for a while. How could I not know what you were tired of last night? You went to sleep as soon as you finished cleaning up. The prince called you several times at night, and it was Xueyan and I who went to answer you, but you didn't move at all..."

I smiled awkwardly, "It was indeed very tiring. I climbed the mountain and went to the hunting ground, which was very exhausting."

As I said that, I looked inside and said, "Situ... Ahem, the prince is out? Isn't his leg broken? Why is he running?"

"At noon, a chair with wheels was delivered from outside, and the prince sat on it and was pushed out."

"Let him do what he can." I muttered.

After having a three-in-one breakfast, lunch and dinner, I watched Wenqiao feed the rabbits in the yard.

Xueyan came over and told me the news she had heard. "Yesterday at the hunting ground, it was said that when the prince was injured, the other two princes were there, apparently fighting for a white tiger. This matter has been reported to His Majesty. Although the white tiger was hunted by Prince Duan, when it was sent to His Majesty, His Majesty confiscated it and gave it to Prince Yu instead. The person the prince went out to meet at noon was someone from Prince Yu's mansion. He said he was here to deliver medicine, but he hasn't come out of the study yet."

I said, "That Su Mei... uh, is Minister Xu's wife, you know her, right?"

Xueyan nodded, "I know."

"Mrs. Xu, were you injured in the hunting ground yesterday?"

"I haven't heard of it."

It seems that the plot has changed and is completely different from the book I read.

"You're finally awake." Situ Jue's voice suddenly came from the other end of the yard.

He was in a wheelchair, being pushed into the yard. When the group came in, the noise was so loud that the two rabbits that were eating leaves jumped back into their cages. Wen Qiao quickly closed the cages, saluted, and backed away, avoiding the path they were about to pass.

Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but frown. Why did Situ Jue come to occupy my territory and cause such a mess?

But there was no sign of problem on his face. He seemed to be in a good mood and had no idea that he was affecting others.

It took two big men working together to lift him and his wheelchair up the stairs.

After entering the house, he waved his hand to let everyone else leave, then turned to look at me, "Have you had dinner?"

I hummed, very perfunctorily.

"Why didn't you wait for me?"

"The prince never told me that." I retorted angrily.

"Okay, then I will tell you now that from now on you must share every meal with me once."

"No, we have different tastes and can't eat together!"

"Just ask the chef to cook a few more dishes. It's not a difficult task. Unless you don't want to join me?"

"I really don't want to."

"In a few months, my father-in-law should be back in Beijing to report on his work, right? I should also congratulate him." Situ Jue seemed not to hear my dissatisfaction and changed the subject instead.

"What good news?" I was still thinking, what does Shen's father's performance report have to do with him? He is at best just a minister and cannot decide the promotion of an official.

"Don't you know that you're going to have a younger brother?" Situ Jue smiled meaningfully, and it was definitely not an expression of sincere congratulations.

I suddenly remembered that Aunt Qiu, who had been mentioned several times by my cousin Shen Ru and Aunt Zhao before, was Shen's father's favorite concubine. She must have become pregnant during Shen's tenure. I didn't receive any news about this matter, and I don't know if the Shen family got the news in advance.

Situ Jue said "want another younger brother" instead of "many younger brothers", it seems that the child has not been born yet.

So he was implying that even if I returned to the Shen family, I would have no status, so it would be better for me not to make trouble with him and just live in the palace.

After thinking for a while, I felt relieved. He thought he could use the matter of the Shen Mansion to control me, so I would just let it go and let him think that I would be controlled, so that what happens next would be unexpected.

At worst, I can just find a chance to escape, change my name, and start over.
