Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

Xiyu was sitting on a bench, concentrating on embroidering with her head down. She didn't even notice me approaching. It was only when the maid beside her reminded her in a low voice that she seemed to wake up from a dream and quickly stood up to greet me.

The two maids around Situ Jue were not outstanding in appearance. When the concubine chose them for him, she picked healthy but average-looking young girls who only needed to help the master transition through puberty. She did not want her son to indulge in such things. In fact, just as the concubine wished, Situ Jue was not a person who was very interested in bed, and the two maids were also very well-behaved.

Over the years, the only indulgence was that night in my yard, and that was due to the influence of drugs.

After all, Situ Jue is the infatuated male supporting role in the story who is in love with Su Mei, and he has to devote his body and mind to his sweetheart.

Xiyu's pregnancy was completely unnoticeable because she was still in the early stages of pregnancy.

I asked someone to bring her some supplements to help with the pregnancy. She was so nervous that she wanted to bow and express her gratitude, but I quickly stopped her and asked her to sit back.

I wanted to say a few words to her and see what she thought, but this maid was really too disciplined and seemed to have no selfish thoughts of her own. When Situ Jue was mentioned, she would only nod woodenly, indicating that she would do what the prince and princess asked her to do, and she dared not think about anything else.

My heart sank. Could it be that the incident with the magpie had left her with a psychological trauma?

This is not impossible, because before, Nanny Zhao and Xi Que had been in trouble one after another, and some people in the palace were discussing privately, thinking that I was cruel and ruthless. Some even believed that it was because I treated the old servants harshly and was jealous of the prince taking a concubine that I forced Xi Que to death.

After returning to Suxin Pavilion, I changed my mind. Sometimes I cannot do the work myself and can only delegate the tasks to my subordinates.

Xueyan will continue to help me find out the news in the palace, and then let Wenqiao convey my intentions to Xiyu, and comfort Xiyu in a tactful and gentle way. The main thing is to let her rest assured and take care of her pregnancy. I will not do anything bad to her or her child.

Wen Qiao is young and often moves around the palace. She is sweet-mouthed and smart, so she won’t arouse suspicion. Even if my purpose is exposed, it won’t disgust others.

Another day, the female doctor introduced by my aunt came to my house to see me.

Because my aunt was concerned about my health, I had basically discussed it with the other party, and it was almost like I would have her be my attending physician and come to the palace regularly to check my body and treat my infertility symptoms.

But I have been taking the medicine prescribed by Doctor Sun and do not need any treatment at all. I am also worried that this expert doctor may see something.

So when she came to my house, I told her directly my actual situation, and gave her a stack of silver bills as hush money, asking her to keep it a secret from my aunt.

After listening to my explanation in silence, the female doctor Sun Lingwei said calmly, "If this is what the princess wishes, I am willing to cooperate, and there is no need for hush money. I can't do anything for the princess, so I feel ashamed to accept it."

"No, no, if you take these banknotes, it will make me feel at ease." I stuffed the banknotes into his hands.

"Then why don't you let me take a look at the prescription for the medicine the princess is taking? From what I've learned, all contraceptive drugs are cold and harmful to the body. If taken for a long time, it may leave behind side effects and will also affect the princess's health."

Doctor Sun had said these things before, so he prescribed the medicine for me at intervals and asked me to take it strictly according to the dosage.

"I don't have a prescription. Can I just show you the medicine?" I handed over the remaining pills.

This is the improved version that Doctor Sun made at my request. I really can't drink those bitter medicines, so I increased the reward and asked him to make them into pills for me.

After Sun Lingwei took it, she carefully took out a pill, cut it with a silver knife, put it in front of her nose and sniffed it. She pondered for a moment and said to me, "It may take some effort to prepare this medicine. At least a dozen kinds of medicinal materials are used. Moreover, it must not be taken continuously. No more than two pills can be taken in a month."

I nodded. These were indeed the precautions for taking the medicine that Doctor Sun had explained.

"If you take it for a long time, Princess is afraid that there will be no chance of recovery and you will not be able to have children in this lifetime. Is this what you want, Princess?" She looked at me solemnly.

She is probably in her early thirties and unmarried. I once asked someone to inquire around her clinic, but I didn't hear that she had any children. Now looking at her expression and regretful tone, she may have personal reasons for being obsessed with offspring, and there is no way she could understand why I, at such a young age, had decided to end my own future.

But I don't need to make friends with her, nor do I need to have a heart-to-heart talk with her. I just need to pay her enough and let her medical skills work for me.

I nodded, pretended to be sincere, and held her hands. "I hope Doctor Sun will keep this secret for me."

She was silent for a moment and then slowly nodded in agreement.

"Doctor Sun, have you heard of Sun Dongtang?" I asked while chatting after taking the pulse.

"Are you talking about Sun Dongtang, the former court physician of your residence?" After getting my confirmation, she slowly said, "He is my second uncle."

When I showed a surprised expression, I just heard her continue to explain, "Although his personal morality is not good, his medical skills are indeed good. If it is not necessary, please do not mention this person in front of me, Princess."

Oh my god, what is this? Doctor Sun was accused of having bad personal ethics by his own niece. Did he do something unscrupulous? I can't believe he is that kind of person. My curiosity was immediately aroused, but seeing that the person didn't want to talk about this, I had to stop and abruptly change the subject until I sent him out of the house.

Before I could digest the explosive news, I received a message from Princess Pingyang's mansion saying there was a flower-viewing banquet.

Princess Pingyang is the mother of Princess Yanyun, and the emperor's biological sister, so her status is naturally high. This post was not actually for me, but for the Zhenbei Palace. It was first sent to Situ Jue, and then he sent it to me.

I thought about it and decided that I shouldn't refuse an invitation from a member of the royal family, but I was naturally a little afraid of Princess Yanyun, especially after seeing with my own eyes the last time she directed and performed a big drama to frame Su Mei. Although it was exposed in the end, it almost made the entire Xu family take the blame.

I seriously suspect that this flower-viewing banquet may become a new plot point, and it would be best not to go if possible. After all, I don’t have the halo of a protagonist, and if I get into any trouble, I might end up as cannon fodder and certain death.

As I stayed in this world longer and my hope of returning home became smaller, I gradually returned to the attitude of an ordinary person, but I was still extremely nervous about major matters such as life and death.

But what did Situ Jue mean by sending the invitation to me? So I took a piece of paper and wrote the four characters "I don't want to go" on it, and sent it back to him along with the invitation.
