Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

After Siliang sent the mother and child back to their residence, he came back to explain to me, "Lin Yueniang is an orphan rescued by the general in Licheng. The general never gave her a name. She volunteered to serve the general. Later, when she had this child, she followed the general as a concubine..."

As he spoke, he observed my expression and smiled, "Why not wait for the general to come back and explain it to you in person? As an outsider, I can't explain some things clearly."

I replied calmly, "I'll go ask. Was it him who ordered me not to go out?"

Siliang was startled for a moment, then he lowered his voice carefully, "Madam, I'm afraid you don't know, there is some chaos in the capital now, and the patrol camp has also been sent out. If there is nothing important, it is better not to go out."

"How much do you know about Princess Yanyun?"

Seeing that I mentioned the title of the princess, Siliang looked around meaningfully and confirmed again that there was no one else nearby. "Don't worry, Madam. The general has nothing to do with Princess Yanyun, and the marriage that the queen said will not be successful."

I asked about other things, such as He Zhao's daily routine. He seemed to know everything and was willing to tell me everything. I inferred that he should be He Zhao's personal attendant. As for whether he was a secret agent of the Dragon Guard, I was not sure.

So I couldn’t ask any deeper questions and could only bring the topic back to myself.

"Do you know who I am? Why do you keep calling me Madam?"

Si Liang laughed, "Of course I recognize him. I followed the general into the palace. I never thought our general would be so bold..." He covered his mouth and didn't say the rest. I couldn't tell if this was his true feelings or if he was just acting with me, so I could only listen.

I was just about to ask if the Zhenbei Palace or the Shen family had released any news, when I heard footsteps outside.

"He Zhao" came back, Siliang hurried out to greet him, and seemed to have mentioned the girl named Lin Yue Niang in a low voice.

After he came in from outside, he looked at me with a slightly apologetic look, "I didn't mean to hide it from you, I really forgot..."

When we were the only two left in the room, he briefly introduced Lin Yueniang's background. As I thought, she was indeed the confidante of the former He Zhao. Normally, the mother and son should have been dealt with when he succeeded He Zhao, but considering that the child was the only blood of his old friend left in the world, he applied to his superiors to keep them.

Anyway, what the higher-ups need is just a capable general, and the higher-ups don't really care about anything else. On the contrary, even if the affair between the mother and son is exposed one day, he would be happy to see it happen. A person who is too perfect is often easy to win people's hearts. Once the momentum is too great, he will be suspected of being too powerful. However, a general with poor personal ethics will be reported by the censors from time to time, and he can be a chess piece that he can control.

As for the fact that He Zhao had changed his partner, Lin Yue Niang certainly didn't know about it, because the original He Zhao didn't show much affection for her. On the surface, Lin Yue Niang had been with He Zhao for three years, but in fact, the two had few opportunities to meet, and it was a miracle that they could have a child.

It is hard to say how deep Lin Yue Niang's feelings for He Zhao are.

"I originally wanted her to remarry and leave the child with me, but she didn't want to. She started crying when I told her too much... I can only raise her like this for now, or wait until the child is older and she has figured it out, then she will be willing to leave."

Looking at his helpless expression, I could probably understand his feelings and couldn't help but chuckle.

This smile annoyed him, and he hugged me and tickled me as punishment, complaining in a muffled voice, "You're still laughing? Seeing me worrying about another woman, you still can laugh? In your heart, what am I?"

I am ticklish, so I grabbed his hand and begged for mercy with a smile. But when I heard his question, I was slightly stunned, as if I had not thought about this issue carefully.

"Uh...you are the first person I've fallen in love with in this world." I stopped laughing and gave him the answer after a little thought.

He seemed satisfied with this answer, and he hugged me tighter, whispering in my ear, "You are also the first woman to break into my heart. I fell in love with you before I even realized it."

As we were talking sweet words, we changed places.

When I got up that day, it was already past noon. He had gone out early in the morning, but when he came back, he stayed with me and said that he would not leave me unless it was something important. This overly sweet state soon scared me a little. This man was so energetic that I could not handle it.

For three or four days in a row, I was in a state of almost no distinction between day and night. Except for leaving the bed briefly to eat and wash, I could not escape the clutches of the devil at other times.

On the morning of the fifth day, after he went out, two maids came to help me wash and dress. I felt sore and weak all over that my legs were shaking even when I walked. I wanted to rest after walking a few steps. I would never stand if I could sit, and would never sit if I could lie down.

In the afternoon, when the sun was shining brightly, I was lying on a rattan chair in the yard, closing my eyes and basking in the sun. Then I heard someone outside the yard shouting, "Come and help! Someone come quickly!"

I opened my eyes, and the person next to me asked carefully, "I wonder what happened? Madam, do you want me to go out and ask?"

"Go ahead." After saying that, I closed my eyes weakly again, not wanting to change my current lazy state of basking in the sun.

A moment later, the maid who had been asking for information came running back, "Madam, I heard that the nanny in the yard over there accidentally lost the young master when she was out playing with him. Now everyone else is out looking for him, but that auntie said they don't have enough people, so she wants Madam to send someone over to help."

"Young Master?" My brain started to work slowly. "He Zhao's son?"

"Yes... yes." The maid was probably stunned by my question.

"Then go and help." I raised my arm and waved.

The surroundings returned to silence again, and I continued to bask in the sun. The warm spring sun had its own hypnotic effect, and soon I fell into a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, until I heard a woman's voice, "Princess Zhenbei, you are so lucky!"

I woke up from my sleep and saw Lin Yue Niang standing in front of me, looking down at me with a look of contempt.

"What are you doing?" I tried to sit up straighter, but my back and waist ached so much that the slightest movement made the pain worse. I had no choice but to lie back down, and my energy suddenly weakened a lot.

"You are indeed the Princess of Zhenbei! People outside are saying that you are dead, but the King of Zhenbei still has people posting your portrait all over the streets and looking for your whereabouts. You obviously already have a husband, why did you seduce the general? You are so shameless!" Lin Yue Niang gnashed her teeth in jealousy.
