Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

Chapter 38 I don’t want to pretend anymore

Finally, I found a chance to talk, and I took the initiative to speak, "Queen, after the prince got up this morning, Doctor Sun examined him and he is now fine."

"That's because Jue'er is very lucky. You should pay more attention to these things in the future. You should scold the maids and servants in the backyard..."

"Please forgive her this time, Concubine, for the sake of Xi Que being my maidservant." Seeing that I dared to interrupt her, the Concubine looked surprised and slightly angry, but I continued, "Xi Que has been with me since she was a child. Although we are master and servant, we are like sisters. She deserves to be punished for her crime, but it is not punishable by death. Besides, the prince has already agreed to spare her life."

"Okay, now you dare to use Jue'er's words to pressure me?" The concubine's face darkened and she was extremely angry.

I lifted my skirt and knelt in the middle of the room. "Since I married into the palace, I know that I am not good enough and do not meet the prince's wishes in every aspect. Although I have tried hard to improve, I am still far from being good enough. I wanted to take a concubine for the prince in order to please him and expand the palace, but I failed to discipline the servants, which led to a ridiculous situation. I am asking to leave the palace now, and I hope that the concubine will agree to find another good match for the prince."

"What do you mean? Can't I say a few words to you? Your marriage was granted by His Majesty. How can it be broken off just like that? What do you think of my Zhenbei Palace? What do you think of the imperial edict?" The concubine even slammed the table and stood up. "Is this how Shen Zhongyan taught his daughter?"

I knew in my heart that the image of me as a well-behaved person in the eyes of the concubine was completely destroyed by me.

But I want to leave the palace. Whether I run away secretly or take the open way, I will have to face this hurdle sooner or later.

Although I completely offended the concubine, she suppressed what I said. Instead, she calmed down and started to think about me.

"After all, you are still young. Maybe you are flustered and confused because you don't know what's going on. You must not say these angry words today anymore, especially in front of Jue'er. He is still injured, and it is really hard for you to take care of him alone. I will send some more people to help in your yard..."

After some consolation, the concubine looked at me with a much softer look, as if she had forgotten my outrageous behavior just now.

After returning to Suxin Pavilion, I brought back four maids, making the place even more lively.

Fortunately, Xi Que's life was saved and she was sent to the farm. I gave her some money privately and asked her to find a way to make a living, or change her name and find someone to marry, or go to another place to do some small business and start over. It was up to her.

But unexpectedly, a few days later, the bad news came back that the magpie had hanged itself from the beam in its house, and was dead when people found it.

I seemed to see the situation that my original body had experienced. Perhaps I loved Situ Jue so much that I forgot to love myself.

Magpie is an orphan and has no relatives. I can't go out, so I can only pay someone to hold a funeral for me.

Situ Jue also knew about this matter, and he didn't say anything unpleasant in front of me. Instead, he comforted me with a few words, but it didn't have any effect.

"Situ Jue, tell me honestly, is Aunt Zhao also dead?"

"People will die eventually, but I'm not the King of Hell. I don't like to take people's lives. I just sent her family to a remote place in the countryside outside Beijing and put them under guard."

"They said that a fortune teller had predicted my fate when I was a child, and that I would have few relatives, so my mother died. I am not close to my father, my wet nurse is alienated from me, and my personal maid... Speaking of which, I am really unlucky."

Hearing this, he sneered, "You're unlucky? The palace physician predicted that I wouldn't live past the 10th. Are you as unlucky as me? You have less than half a year to live."

I suddenly looked up at him and saw that he looked nonchalant, as if he was joking. I couldn't help but frown, "You will be fine, you will live a long time."

"How do you know this? Are you trying to comfort me?"

"I know it anyway." I curled my lips. The plot in the book said that he helped Su Mei solve problems many times afterwards, and even secretly helped Xu Changan for Su Mei, and then played a role in the Nine Princes' camp. It can be said that Situ Jue made a lot of efforts for Xu Changan to become the confidant of the future emperor. As an important male second in the story, he still has a lot of scenes. How could he be offline in half a year?

"Then I will take your good words and live longer to be with you until we grow old." As he said this, he took my hand emotionally and bent down to kiss me, but I quickly pushed him away.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just stating an objective fact from a passerby's perspective, and it's not a blessing to you. What's more, I don't have that kind of thoughts about you, so please correct your attitude in the future. Either continue to secretly love your sweetheart, or see if there are any other girls you like in the capital!" I said righteously.

The most regrettable thing is that I didn’t read the plot of the later part of the original book carefully, and the author wrote it very briefly at the time, as if ending it hastily, without explaining which girl Situ Jue finally married. Otherwise, I could have helped him to tie the red thread directly.

"We are already husband and wife, you can't deny it." He held my hand again, "If you don't want to be my wife, where else do you want to go?"

I pulled my hand out of his grasp and said, "Actually, the two maids from your courtyard were the ones who served you that night. I don't want to lie to you. I have someone I like, so you should find someone you like as soon as possible for the position of princess."

After hearing the second half of the sentence, Situ Jue's expression changed from shock to gloomy, and he stared at me, "Who is it?"

"You don't need to know this. Even if I tell you, you won't help me match them up. Besides, you have someone you like, and I have someone I like. This is fair, right?"

"Su Mei and I are just childhood friends. We have known each other for many years and admire each other. Even if there was some innocent affection, it is a thing of the past. You don't have to hold on to it, and you don't have to make up lies to anger me."

It seems that I make more mistakes than I say. He actually thought I was making up lies to deliberately piss him off.

I took a deep breath, "Situ Jue, the most important point you didn't understand is that I am not the original Shen Xingye! Do you know that? I have no feelings for you at all, and I don't want to be this princess!"

"We have a long way to go, and I will eventually make you change your mind." He and I seemed to be on different channels and could not communicate at all.

I was furious and anxious, and wanted to leave, but he pulled me back, saying something like I had seen his body, so I had to take responsibility. If he wasn't a wounded soldier, I would have kicked him twice.

A thunderous voice came from the door, "Your Highness, His Royal Highness Prince Yu is here to visit us. He has already passed the front yard. Shall we meet here, or will you go to the front?"

Normally, Lei Ming would have run in to deliver the message in person, but today he hid outside and only dared to shout at the door. I guess he saw the tug-of-war between Situ Jue and I just now, and he was embarrassed to barge in directly, so he shouted at the door.

I just pulled myself away, walked around behind Situ Jue, pushed his wheelchair and walked out, "Hurry and meet your distinguished guest!"
