Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

It's early summer and my new identity has not yet been determined.

Because I was busy studying with Teacher Zi Yan, I didn't have time to ask He Zhao why this matter took so long. He was able to find a charred female corpse to replace me, so why couldn't he just give me a new name?

If it really doesn't work, just say that I am a newly bought maid in the general's mansion. I will be registered as a slave first and then released. It's as simple as that.

But he had his own considerations and did not agree with me giving himself a slave's background.

When I mentioned this to Zi Yan as a fun fact, she responded calmly, "Xiao Liu thinks highly of you and doesn't want anyone to criticize your background when you two get married in the future."

"By that time, we will not be in the capital anymore, and he doesn't want to be General He Zhaohe all his life. When we go to a place where no one knows us, why would we care about what others say?" I blurted out, but found that Zi Yan's expression changed slightly, and then I realized, did he only tell me about his plan?

I was originally thinking about how to divert the topic to something else to ease the awkward atmosphere, but Zi Yan gave me a task, asking me to disguise myself as her and not reveal my identity in front of He Zhao.

At my current level, this question was not difficult. It took me more than an hour to completely change my appearance and exchange clothes with Zi Yan. She also changed her face to look like mine, and we sat in the room drinking tea and waiting for He Zhao to come back.

After he entered the door, he walked straight towards Zi Yan.

Just as he was about to sit down next to her, he suddenly stopped, looked closely at Zi Yan, then turned to look at me, "Are you teasing me on purpose?"

I couldn't help laughing, "How did you find out?"

"What do you think?" He walked around the table and came to my side. "Now that I've recognized you, you should stop playing this trick. Go and change it back."

I stood up first and went behind the screen, but I didn't notice that Zi Yan was still sitting there after I walked away. When I changed my clothes and came out, I saw He Zhao walking to the door alone, as if he was deliberately keeping a distance.

As Zi Yan passed me by, she smiled and said, "You don't win this time. You were found out at the first sight. This shows that your disguise skills are not up to par yet."

I hastily explained, "He is also knowledgeable. It is not easy to deceive him. I think there is nothing wrong with me. Maybe we can go out of the house and try outside."

"If you want to leave the house, I will take you out in a few days." He Zhao's voice sounded from behind me. As he spoke, his hand was already on my waist and he pulled me into his arms.

Although everyone in this mansion knows about my close relationship with him, he has never been so bold in front of others. Even though there is only a moon door and a screen between him and Zi Yan, the movements here can still be heard clearly over there.

I turned around with some confusion and faced him. Just as I was about to ask him what happened today, he blocked my mouth.

Later, I didn’t even see how Zi Yan left quietly.

A few days later, He Zhao took me out of the house without telling me our destination, but I couldn't help showing a look of surprise when I saw the carriage driving towards the city gate.

"Before we left, I asked you if you wanted to change my appearance, and you said no. Do you really intend to let this face appear in the capital now?" I was not sure what he was thinking and felt a little confused.

"Don't worry. I'll take you to meet someone today. As long as he nods, no one can take you away from me in the future." He held my hand tightly, his face very serious.

My heart suddenly skipped a beat and I started to get nervous for no apparent reason.

The carriage passed through the streets and alleys, and finally stopped at the door of a study. I followed He Zhao out of the carriage and was led into the store by his hand. There was a clerk in the store, but he was lazily lying on the counter and dozing off. I don't know if he didn't see anyone coming in or didn't care.

Anyway, we walked through the shop front and entered the backyard. There was a two-story attic in the backyard. The first floor was open on all sides. A white-haired old man was sitting on a low couch with a book in his hand.

He Zhao walked me all the way there, motioning me to bow to the old man with him, and then I heard him say, "Godfather, I brought her here."

The man then put down what he was holding, turned his head to glance at him, and then looked at my face again.

When I looked into his eyes, I noticed that only his hair was completely white. But judging from his face, he didn't seem very old. However, for He Zhao to call him godfather, he must be at least 40 or 50 years old.

"You are indeed a brave girl." Seeing that I met his gaze without any fear, he smiled instead.

He Zhao had been holding my hand tightly. He straightened up at this moment, looked at me and smiled, "She is indeed very bold."

"You are quite courageous. You even dare to contradict His Majesty!" When the other party looked at He Zhao, the smile on his face faded. For a moment, it seemed as if the air around him was frozen and the temperature dropped a little.

He Zhao let go of my hand, put his hands on the ground, and knelt down again. "I am just doing what He Zhao should do now. It is not my intention to anger Your Majesty. But if you think I have done something wrong, you can ask Your Majesty to revoke your order."

I couldn't understand anything about their conversation. It might be something about the court. I wasn't interested in it. But I didn't know what to do in such a serious atmosphere. I couldn't help but look around the surrounding environment.

"You are lucky. His Majesty doesn't care. This matter has passed. Please leave first. I want to talk to your future daughter-in-law alone."

Hearing this, He Zhao and I were both stunned.

"Godfather! Do you agree with us..."

"Idiot! How could you let her enter Wanbaozhai if you don't agree with me?" Although his voice was loud and angry, his expression no longer had the stern and cold look from before.

He Zhao's shoulders relaxed a little, and he whispered to me, "Don't be afraid, godfather just wants to chat with you for a few minutes, I'm outside and won't go far."

I nodded and watched him leave.

When it was just me and the expert left, he suddenly grabbed my chin with murderous intent in his eyes, "Who are you?"

His fingers were so strong that they pinched my cheek bones so hard that they hurt. I didn't care about anything else at the moment and just threw out my hidden weapon, forcing him to let go of my hand and avoid three consecutive silver needles.

"Humph! You've only learned a few days' worth of tricks from Zi Yan, and you dare to show off in front of me? Saying you're bold makes you arrogant!"

I stood up and said unhappily, "Kill me now if you can, and do it cleanly, or I will..."

Before I could finish my words, I felt a pain in my calves and fell to my knees with a thud.

It seemed like he was bewitched by some trick, but I didn't see him make any move at all, so I glared at the man unwillingly.

His claim just now has been exposed. Although He Zhao has not revealed his true identity to me, I have guessed that he is Fang Yian, the eunuch beside the current emperor and the leader of the Imperial Dragon Guard. But I think his personality is really bad. He is friendly in front of He Zhao, but wants to harm me behind He Zhao's back.

"Hahahahahaha...it's really funny!" The man's expression suddenly changed and he reached out to help me up.
