Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

Surprise! I can actually leave work early.

Following behind Fang Yian, he took big steps and I had to jog to keep up with him.

At this time, I didn’t care about the pain in my legs. If I couldn’t keep up, I would definitely get lost.

"Do you know medicine?" When we returned to the yard, he didn't let me rest, but asked me about what happened before.

"I don't understand. That's just a first aid method for foreign objects blocking the trachea. It's nothing..."

He interrupted my explanation and said, "If you don't know medical skills, don't try to be brave. If you can save His Majesty, it's not a mistake. If you fail His Majesty... everyone on duty tonight will lose their heads with you!"

I retorted unconvincedly, "I won't do anything I'm not sure of!"

"It seems that you want to go back to Hibiscus Palace and continue to stand guard."

"No... Chief Butler Fang, why don't you just tell me what you are dissatisfied with? Why do you have to deliberately make trouble for me?"

"Call me, Lord Steward."

Facing his face, I cursed more than ten dirty words in my heart, but finally I had to compromise, "Yes, Lord Butler..." As he spoke, he seemed to get closer, and a faint unknown fragrance came to my nose, which should have smelled good, but for some reason my stomach churned and I suddenly felt nauseous.

Moreover, this physiological reaction could not be suppressed and it surged up so quickly that even though I had realized something was wrong and wanted to cover my mouth and run away, it was too late.

"Puh—" I returned all the almost digested dinner to the bathroom on the spot. The continuous and intense discomfort hit my internal organs. The tears, snot and bitter taste in my mouth made me surrender completely.

Suddenly, Fang Yian grabbed one of my wrists and pressed his fingertips on my pulse. I knelt on the ground and could only look up at him, wondering if he knew medical skills. I had already vomited everything, but I still felt nauseous and retched from time to time, as if I had lost control of my body and felt numb.

"Can you still stand up?" I couldn't see his expression clearly due to his tears, but I couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry from his voice.

"I..." I just finished saying one word and burped again, but nothing came out of my mouth. My body leaned forward due to inertia and I almost fell on my own vomit when someone hugged my shoulders from the side and pulled me up.

What happened next was beyond my imagination. I suspected that I was sick and my mind was a little confused, so I might have confused dreams with reality. In the hazy white light, I saw a doctor in a white coat with Fang Yian's face. He gently asked me where I felt uncomfortable and if I wanted some water.

I was placed on a large, very comfortable bed, and the bedding around me had a faint, unknown fragrance. Later, a slightly spicy and bitter pill was stuffed into my mouth, and a warm, wet towel was used to wipe my face, neck, and hands.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already daytime the next day. I jumped out of bed and found that the window was in the wrong position. When I opened the window and looked out, I realized that it was already past noon. What surprised me even more was that I had slept in Fang Yian's room and his bed in a daze last night!

But the thing is, it is really comfortable to sleep on this bed. The mattress is made of good materials, with the right softness and hardness, much better than the hardwood board I used before. And I don't know what kind of fragrance he used on this bed, it smells very comfortable, the fragrance is not strong, even faint, but it makes people feel good.

After looking around, my eyes fell on myself and I gasped. I only had one set of inner clothes left. Where was my outer robe? Where was my eunuch's palace uniform?

After looking around, I found a set of clean clothes of similar color, but they seemed a little big when I put them on. After I got dressed, I walked out and saw a figure when I walked around the screen.

Fang Yian was leaning on the bench, his head supported by his arms, and seemed to have fallen asleep.

I quietly moved closer, leaned over and knelt in front of him. It was the first time I was so close to him and stared at him blatantly.

Is this white hair natural? Looking at his face, it is smooth with almost no fine lines. When he closes his eyes, he looks less sinister. His eyebrows, eyes, nose and lips are still cool when put together. But how old is he? He should not be at the age of natural white hair.

I traced his face carefully, I was really curious. I occupied his bed last night, so did he sleep on the chair outside? My eyes accidentally slid down and saw that his belt was untied. From my angle, I could just see the gully in the overlapped collar...

My mind was a little confused and my breathing stagnated. I hurriedly pulled my gaze back, but when I looked up, I was facing Fang Yian's eyes, which had been opened without me knowing when.

"Uh..." Just as I was about to make up some nonsense to ease the embarrassment, I heard footsteps coming from the door behind me. It seemed that someone was crossing the yard and coming here. It was probably a palace servant looking for Fang Yian to report something. Feeling guilty, I crouched down and got under the table in front of the bench.

It wasn't until I completely hid myself under the tablecloth that I realized why I was hiding. I was Xiao Xiazi now, so it was reasonable for me to appear next to the chief eunuch.

The footsteps outside stepped up the stairs and entered the house.

I heard Fang Yian cough twice in a muffled voice. After the person came in, he didn't speak until he was close to me, "Godfather, the Furong Palace has already found out, and the maids around the imperial concubine have also confessed. These are the confessions. Thanks to your foresight, you sent someone to investigate overnight. If you went this morning, it would probably be too late. They have been doing a very clean job all along. Even the imperial physician said that if he didn't identify it carefully, he couldn't tell the difference..."

The other party's voice was not loud, but he was very excited, and he kept talking like a machine gun. In the end, he was interrupted by Fang Yian, "Okay, put the things down first."

"Yes." After a moment's silence, the man didn't seem to intend to leave.

"Anything else?"

"Oh, it's a small matter, and it's been dealt with. This morning before dawn, Xiao Shunzi, who was beside Eunuch Li, secretly passed the message to the Imperial Guards. Both of them were detained and they were not allowed to pass it out. It should be prepared to be sent to Prince Duan's Mansion. Please take a look, godfather..."

Fang Yian took the things and said, "Eunuch Li's men will not move for the time being. Go and say hello to Commander Wu. It's time to clear out the small fish under him. What kind of place is the Imperial Guard? How dare Prince Duan put his hand in it? Do you really think that we old guys are useless?"

His tone was calm, yet intimidating without him being angry. I couldn't help but shiver as I lay on the floor.

The person who came to report quickly flattered him a few words and then left.

As I listened to the footsteps fading away, I was hesitating whether to climb out, when I saw a shoe reaching into the tablecloth, the tip of the shoe touching my arm, and at the same time, Fang Yian's voice came from above my head, "Come out."

After I used my hands and feet to crawl out from under the table, I gave him an awkward smile, not knowing what to say.

He gestured with his eyes to the seat next to him and asked me to sit down first.
