Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

I sat down next to Fang Yian, and he naturally grabbed my wrist and took my pulse.

Thinking back to how miserable I was yesterday, my cheeks couldn't help but get hot. I explained in a low voice, "I might have had a stomach upset. I feel much better when I woke up today."

"How could the food in the palace make you sick? Your symptoms only appeared after you returned from Hibiscus Palace..."

"Am I poisoned?" Without waiting for him to speak, I became a little nervous. Have I been involved in some plot again? No wonder I felt uncomfortable everywhere as soon as I entered Furong Palace yesterday.

"It's not really poisoning. You just can't stand the incense burning in Hibiscus Palace." Fang Yian said, loosening his fingers and giving his conclusion, "Rest well these few days, it's nothing serious."

Suddenly remembering the conversation I heard when I was lying under the table, I asked curiously, "Did something happen in Furong Palace? I just heard..."

"You don't listen to or ask about things that are not your business. Do you want me to teach you again from the beginning?" He suddenly raised his hand in front of my eyes. I didn't know whether he was going to slap me or hit my head. I quickly hugged my head and hid my body. "I won't ask, I won't ask, I didn't hear anything!"

Fang Yian looked at my cowering appearance and chuckled. This man is really amazing. When he frowns, he looks fierce and like he wants to keep strangers away. But when he smiles, he changes into a different person, making people feel like they are in the spring breeze. Their eyes will unconsciously follow him.

Some people can sit in a position above everyone else because they have some talent. Although they are not the protagonist, they seem to have the aura of the protagonist. They have a natural personality charm and can easily let others forgive them even if they do bad things. As an ordinary person, you can't envy them.

"What are you looking at?" His question brought me back to reality.

Although my mind was wandering, my eyes were fixed on the person. I definitely couldn't tell the truth at this time, but I was not good at telling lies, so I could only respond dryly, "You look very beautiful when you smile, just smile more in the future."

I don't know why I blurted out the line from a romance novel where the hero flirts with the heroine. Anyway, this made Fang Yian's face turn cold, as if he remembered something unpleasant. He said coldly, "Since you're well now, go back to your room! Don't be an eyesore here!"

As if I had received a special pardon, I breathed a sigh of relief and quickly moved. In the following days, although I was still on sick leave and no one assigned me any work, I still found opportunities to talk to the eunuchs who had been on duty with me before the emperor and inquired about the news. Only then did I learn that something was indeed wrong in Furong Palace that day.

For several days in a row, the entire Furong Palace was surrounded by the Imperial Guards, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

Although there was no explicit decree from the emperor, it was obviously arranged by the emperor. It was impossible for a chief eunuch to arbitrarily imprison a concubine in the harem. I thought something big was going to happen, but the imperial guards outside the Furong Palace were withdrawn again, and the concubine was fine.

What happened in Furong Palace that they were punished like this, and yet it was revealed so easily?

Not only was I curious, but others were also curious. When they heard that I was on duty in Hibiscus Palace that night, they all came to ask me about the situation. But what I knew was not something that could make the emperor angry.

"Perhaps it is because the grapes prepared by the imperial concubine were not good that His Majesty got angry and implicated the entire Hibiscus Palace, but it cannot be made public, as it would make His Majesty seem petty." Someone commented.

How is that possible? I didn't see the emperor blaming the imperial concubine for having a grape stuck in his throat. It must be something else. Before I could say anything, someone refuted him.

"You have a pig brain. Would His Majesty get angry over such a trivial matter? Let me tell you, this matter has to start outside the palace. Do you know Princess Pingyang..." Finally, someone who knew the inside story came. Just as they were about to start a detailed chat, they heard two dry coughs from someone in the outer circle.

The bunch of chattering eunuchs suddenly scattered like birds and beasts, running away in all directions, as if they had been trained. I was the only one left standing there stupidly. Then I saw Fang Yian coming back with his men. He stood at the gate of the courtyard, staring at this side coldly.

"You lazy guys, how dare you discuss your master's affairs? Are you all itchy?" The tall eunuch who spoke was called Pan Yue. He was transferred out on the day I entered the palace. He was originally serving in front of the emperor. He had more seniority than the real Xiao Xia Zi. It seemed that he had just been promoted to a manager, a fourth-rank official. Although he was not as serious as the court officials of the previous dynasty, eunuchs were still officials. Seeing him so arrogant, the other people in the yard lowered their heads and dared not say a word.

Although I was not convinced in my heart, I would definitely not be the first to stand out at a time like this, so I quickly hid to the side.

Unexpectedly, Fang Yian walked in and waved at me, "Xiao Xiazi, follow me."

It was a moment of sudden realization that Xiao Xiazi was calling me. It was not until someone behind me reminded me that I ran after her.

After I entered the room, Fang Yian told me to get ready because the emperor was about to leave for Luqing Palace. He had already added me to the list of people accompanying him. I couldn't pretend to be sick anymore and had to work honestly for a few days.

Fortunately, there were many people serving in front of the emperor, so even the work assigned in turns was not very tiring. The most difficult part was standing there all the time, like standing guard, but I gradually got used to it. Anyway, the robe was long, and I shifted my center of gravity, so no one noticed that I didn't stand so standardly.

When on duty in front of the emperor, he could see more people, eat and rest with other eunuchs, and chat about gossip and find out what happened recently in the palace. In this way, life was not too difficult.

Until one day, I was assigned to deliver food to the princes and grandchildren of the emperor who were studying in the Shangshufang.

The emperor didn't know what had happened, but he was in a good mood and gave away many dishes from his lunch. Even a pile of pickled radishes was a gift from heaven.

I held the lunch box respectfully and followed the people I was traveling with. It didn’t matter if I didn’t know the way, I just lowered my head and followed the people ahead like an ant.

Unfortunately, I walked slowly and soon fell to the back of the line, and was stopped by a beautifully dressed young girl.

"Hey, you... come here!"

I tilted my head and saw the other person's domineering expression. I guessed that she should be the Queen's Princess Furou. At her age and dressed like this, she could walk around the palace so arrogantly.

"Your Highness, I have to go deliver His Majesty's rewards to several high princes. I don't have time to play with you now." As I spoke, I caught a glimpse of the team getting farther and farther away from me, and I felt so anxious.

"Is it for Brother Kang? Or for Che'er and Tu'er? Their matters are not urgent, but mine is more urgent. Come with me first!"
