Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

Shen Zhongyan, you are such a jerk, what have you done again! I cursed silently in my heart, but I couldn't pretend any longer. I looked around and made sure there were no patrolling guards or palace servants nearby, so I dragged Situ Jue to a secluded place behind the palace.

"Didn't you say that the Zhenbei Palace and the Shen family are one? If Shen Zhongyan really gets into big trouble and his entire family is executed, the Zhenbei Palace will not be able to escape!" My words were a bit shameless, but he was the one who forced me to be shameless first.

"So you admit it?" He held my hand in reverse, raised his arm, and deliberately showed me our clasped hands. "You are Shen Xingye! My princess!"

I was fooled! This guy was not sure that he could recognize me, so he used the Shen family's matter to deceive me. What a failure, I actually exposed myself!

Under the huge psychological pressure, I had the idea of ​​breaking the jar and throwing it all away. "So what if it's me? I've told you before that I'm not the same person anymore. It has nothing to do with you or the Shen family!"

As I spoke, I tried to pull my hand out of his.

As we were pulling each other, I pushed him hard and he hit the wall behind me, making a dull thud.

It seemed like he hit a bone and he frowned in pain, and naturally let go of the hand that had been holding me.

I bit my lower lip lightly, feeling a little guilty. I didn't mean to hurt him, nor did I expect he would be so weak. I didn't use much strength.

He raised his hand to his chest and coughed twice, as if the pain in his back was transmitted to his chest. His knuckles turned white and the fabric of his clothes was wrinkled.

"Does it hurt? Yes..." I couldn't help myself. Just as I was about to apologize softly and rub the place where he was hit, I heard Prince Yu's voice behind me, "Oh! Why are you here? I had to look for you for a long time!"

By the time Prince Yu and my maid Caiyin came over, I had already distanced myself from Situ Jue, as if nothing had happened before.

"Princess..." Caiyin looked at me with a flushed face, and glanced at Prince Yu from time to time with obvious dissatisfaction.

Prince Yu continued to look innocent, "I went back and looked around, then I remembered that I was in a hurry to enter the palace today, the gift must have been left in the palace, I will send it to my sister another day." His eyes swept between Situ Jue and me, "You... should have known each other, right? How was your conversation?"

I quickly grabbed Caiyin and said, "I remembered that I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. I hope that Fifth Brother will forgive my rudeness."

He quickly fled the scene with Caiyin. His ears were so sharp that he heard Situ Jue grit his teeth and say to Prince Yu, "Thank you! You really know how to choose the right time!"

After returning to Jinhua Palace, I changed out of the gorgeous clothes I wore for the palace banquet and sat cross-legged in the tent, still feeling frightened.

On an occasion like today, the only one in the Shen family who is qualified to attend is the grandfather, the Duke. The others do not hold sufficient official rank. However, the Duke had long claimed illness and no longer attended court, and had also faded out of the power struggle in the court.

Now I can’t quite tell whether I’m upset just because of Situ Jue’s provocation or because the remaining memories of my original body in my body are missing my family.

When Caiyin came in with hot tea, I asked her to sit down and talk.

She and another maid, Lu Xiu, had been following me in Luqing Palace. They were sent by Fang Yian. After returning to the palace, because of other arrangements in the palace, they were the only two familiar faces assigned to me.

"How many of our people are there in Jinhua Palace?" I asked her in a low voice.

Cai Yin was stunned, and also became serious. "The princess' return to the palace was arranged by Concubine Shu with the Queen's decree, so it's not appropriate for you to interfere. As far as I know, there are not only Concubine Shu's people in the courtyard, but also the Queen's people. The guards outside the courtyard should be just ordinary guards, and the harem can't reach the imperial guards. But it's hard to say. As soon as we returned to the palace, Prince Duan's attitude towards you was a little too enthusiastic..."

After chatting with her for a while, I had a general idea of ​​my situation and was not surprised.

"Can you find out the news outside the palace?"

"I will do my best."

I hesitated for a moment, but decided to harden my heart and not meddle in other people's business.

The moon was already high in the sky, and I was tired after a whole day. I was just about to take a shower and go to bed when I heard someone outside the courtyard announcing that the emperor had summoned me and sent a sedan chair to pick me up. It was already late at night, and there was nothing the emperor could say to me that couldn't be said during the day. I was muttering in my heart, but I quickly packed up and got on the sedan chair.

I have to say, although he called me over late at night, he didn't let me walk a step. This cheap dad was thoughtful, knowing that my legs and feet were sore from standing most of the day.

When I arrived at the place, I found that this was not the emperor's bedroom, nor the imperial study, but a somewhat unfamiliar palace.

The person sitting in the hall was actually Fang Yian.

When I walked in, I realized that the person who wanted to see me was him.

I sat down next to him and saw two cups of tea already poured on the table. I reached out and took the cup closer to me and started drinking it by myself.

"Don't you want to know why I tricked you into coming here?" he spoke first.

"Master Steward will tell me what you want to say. If you don't want to say it, there's no point in me asking." I drank half the cup in one breath before putting it back.

"You met with King Zhenbei privately. What are your plans?"

My eyes widened. At that time, I had clearly confirmed that there was no one nearby. There couldn't be any unmanned monitoring systems in this era. How did he know? Forget it. I don't want to think about it. There are so many masters in the Royal Dragon Guard. I definitely can't understand the mysterious things.

"I don't know how he recognized me. He might have dared to deceive me with only 20% or 30% confidence, but I was fooled by him and admitted to him that I was Shen Xingye. Before he could say a few words, I ran away." I looked at him, "What is your relationship with Prince Yu? Does he know about me?"

"It doesn't matter. I don't know." Fang Yian answered simply and neatly, but he put his palm on the back of my neck, and pulled me closer with his fingers, "I don't like people who are indecisive. You should be clear about your current identity..."

"I have nothing to do with Situ Jue! I had already told him when we were in the Zhenbei Palace. If nothing unexpected had happened, we would have divorced in a year at most. He came to me today just to talk about the Shen Mansion. It seemed that my father... Shen Zhongyan had caused some trouble that would put the Duke's Mansion into crisis." I hurriedly explained, saying a lot of things, not forgetting to carefully observe his expression, for fear that he would be unhappy and directly chop my head off.

"The King of Zhenbei is young, but deep-minded, and has much of his father's style." He seemed to chuckle, and stroked the back of my neck with his fingers, a bit like petting a cat, but I didn't hate the touch. I also wanted to hear what he had to say, so I didn't move.

"When Yan Yun was stripped of her title, His Majesty wanted her to marry into the Zhenbei Palace, but the Zhenbei Prince refused outright, pretending to be infatuated and saying that he would wait for his princess to return home. Even His Majesty was moved by what he heard. That's why the marriage fell to Xiaoliu."

Seeing that I was listening to him quietly, he suddenly lowered his eyes and looked at me, "I deliberately spread the news that He Zhao was attracted by Yan Yun's beauty and intended to marry her, which made His Majesty want to grant her the marriage. Will you be angry?"
