Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

I heard a short story that several generations of the Dragon Guards were named with numbers. When someone died, a new person would take his place and continue to use the previous number. So the name Jia Liu he used at the beginning was at least half of his real name.

His title in the Imperial Dragon Guard was exactly Six, and before He Zhao became He Zhao, he was Seven in the Imperial Dragon Guard.

Over the past twenty years, His Majesty's ideas have changed many times, and the duties and powers of the Imperial Dragon Guard have also changed. At that time, His Majesty needed to place some people who were absolutely loyal to him, who had entered the army through a clear path and were capable people who could achieve certain results. In an internal selection of the Imperial Dragon Guard, He Zhao was selected, got a new identity, and was assigned to the army. That was at least ten years ago.

He Zhao became famous in the army after the old Prince of Zhenbei got into trouble three years ago. Although it was later discovered that there were spies from the Zhou State around the old prince, all signs showed that the spies' activities were related to the then crown prince, now Prince Duan. That's why the emperor found another excuse to abolish the crown prince's title and demote him back to the title of king.

Considering that Jia Liu's duty was to lurk in the Zhenbei Palace, one cannot help but think that the current emperor was very suspicious, which was why he spent so much energy to train a group of special forces of his own, secretly collecting information from his ministers, and openly having his own spokesperson in the court, and even having generals in the army who were absolutely loyal to him...

At this point, after he had explained all the background information that I shouldn’t have known, he talked about what happened to me in the palace. “The reason why I deliberately provoked you the last time we met was because I realized that my thoughts were leaning towards you uncontrollably. This feeling was too torturous. In addition, I had received a new mission and was about to leave the palace. I originally wanted to completely sever ties…”

Perhaps after hearing this, the change in my expression made him realize something was wrong, so he took the initiative to pull me to sit in his arms, "For more than 20 years, I was just an obedient slave, never thinking about what I wanted, but when I met you again, here..." He grabbed my hand and pressed it to his chest, "I am alive now, and now I have a new identity, I can give you what you want... freedom!"

I frowned slightly, "What about the original He Zhao? Is he dead?"

His eyes dimmed and he hummed, "When leaving the border, we encountered an enemy attack. Although Zhou had surrendered, there were still some people in the country who were unwilling to surrender to Qi, so they sent out death squads. The real He Zhao was hit by a poisoned arrow at that time and was seriously injured. He died soon after, but He Zhao could not die, so the higher-ups decided to arrange someone to take his place."

"You are the one?"

He nodded in agreement.

So a few years ago, when he received the notice of a change in mission and was preparing to evacuate the palace, he staged a scene of teasing and humiliation with me who was caught in the crossfire.

Even after knowing the truth, I still felt like I was fooled and was very angry. I struggled to get up from his arms, but he held me tightly.

"Do you know that your current situation is very dangerous? Didn't you also say that you wanted to escape from the palace? Now is your chance! Stay with me, I can help you change your identity, or you can learn disguise skills if you want..." His expression seemed like he was really afraid that I would get angry, and he kept saying soft words to get my agreement.

"Then who do you think I am? A pet that you can keep as you please?" I asked back with a cold face.

"Right now, I may not be able to give you a grand wedding with a formal matchmaker, but I can promise you that when everything is settled, we will leave the capital and go to a place where you and I can truly live freely." He looked at me emotionally, the light in his eyes was so hot that it seemed to melt everything.

In the face of his earnest anticipation, I agreed on a whim. Although I always felt a little uneasy, he was indeed my type and it was really difficult to say no.

Then he hugged me and kissed me again and again, and what happened next became inappropriate for children.

According to the normal course of events, I should have died in the accident arranged by Princess Yanyun, and then Su Mei would be lured out of the house in my name. Later, when Princess Yanyun wanted to deal with Su Mei, I would be captured by Xu Changan who came rushing over.

The only thing that makes me feel a little sorry about the whole thing is that those people in the Shen family who really care about Shen Xingye might be sad because of receiving the bad news about me.

However, this feeling of guilt did not last long. To me, they were just NPCs in the story.

When the day came, Jia Liu continued to act as He Zhao and follow his daily routine, so he had to go back to the city. This time He Zhao returned to Beijing to hand over his military power. If nothing unexpected happened, the emperor would send him to the southwest border area that needed to be guarded, and the generals who originally guarded the southwest would be replaced in Beijing to be redeployed, so as to dilute the military power. Soldiers did not obey their generals, but only the emperor's orders.

When the time comes, I will go on the journey with him in the new identity he arranges for me.

Then, I received a mother and son who came to visit me specially at his private residence.

The child was only one year old and could not even walk steadily. When being led by his mother, he felt tired after standing for a while and wanted an adult to hold him.

The mother pretended to be apologetic, but her eyes flashed with undisguised provocation, "I heard that the general was coming, so I wanted Haoer to meet his father, but I didn't expect the general to leave so quickly. I wonder what I should call you, Madam?"

The servant guarding the door seemed not to hear what was said in the room. He kept his head down and didn't feel that it was wrong to bring someone to me.

After only listening to a few words she said, I guessed that this child should be the son of the original He Zhao, and the mother should also be the woman of He Zhao, and a woman he kept in secret and never let see the light of day. That's why the rumor in the capital city said that General He Zhao had never been married, and that's why the Queen wanted to match He Zhao with Princess Yanyun.

"General He is indeed not here, and I am not familiar with you, so I will not entertain you. Please go back." I have made it very clear.

But she was only slightly stunned, and then continued to talk to herself with a smile, "Our courtyard is not far away from the side, very close. In the past, the general would come to see Hao'er every time he came back. This time, I'm afraid there is something urgent. My mother and I will wait for the general here. He should be back soon."

"If you want to wait, then wait." I said and walked out. When the servants in the yard saw me come out, they looked a little surprised but didn't say anything.

It was not until I reached the gate that a young man dressed as a guard stopped me and said, "Madam, where are you going? The general has told you not to go out alone when he is not around. If you need anything done, just let me do it."

I looked at him silently. I didn't know him. He was a stranger, but he smiled and introduced himself. "My name is Siliang. It was me who drove the carriage to bring you and the general back yesterday. Madam, don't you remember me?"

His smile froze when he saw the mother and son walking out behind me, "Yue... Yue Niang, why did you come here by yourself?"
