The legitimate daughter becomes cannon fodder? Rebirth to overthrow the system's fatality

The spring scenery is deep in the idle window of the small courtyard, and I lean against the building and tune the jade harp in silence.

After this scene, no matter how beautiful the spring scenery outside the window was, Cheng Jiuyuan could only lie on the bed.

Early in the morning, Lin came and gave instructions on every detail before leaving with the maid.

I can't leave the room, and am only accompanied by music and chess.

"Miss, Miss Yan and Miss Zhu are here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Yuyu and Zhu Jin came together.

Seeing Cheng Jiuyuan standing in front of the window, wearing thin clothes and looking pale, the two of them hurried in.

"Really? How come I heard you were injured after just one night of not seeing you?"

"Yes, he's still standing by the window enjoying the breeze!"

Yan Yu and the other man were muttering to themselves while one closed the window and the other pulled Cheng Jiuyuan to lie down on the bed.

"What's wrong with you? With your ability, how could Cheng Yunge hurt you?" Yan Yu asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, I did it accidentally, it's not serious."

"How can it not be serious? I heard that it will take half a month to recover."

"I heard that the fourth princess was confined to the palace, and I finally got through it. I was thinking that I could finally go out and play with you guys, but I didn't expect that you would be injured again." Zhu Jin said with a look of regret.

As the three were talking, Mu Jin led Chu Wan in.

"I heard from Mu Jin that you were injured? Is it serious?" Chu Wan walked towards the bed anxiously as soon as she came in.

"It's not serious. Why did you leave the palace?"

"Something happened in the palace last night, and my mother didn't want me to leave the palace. But my grandmother came in the morning. My grandmother loves me the most, so I begged her and my mother had to let me go."

Mu Jin moved a stool over, and the three of them sat at the head of the bed, accompanying Cheng Jiuyuan.

"I think your elder sister is crazy. She got involved in such things in the palace, and dared to make trouble when she returned to the mansion, and even caused you to be injured." Chu Wan lowered her voice and looked gloating. "But her life will not be easy in the future. I heard early in the morning that the queen was going to send a nanny to the prime minister's mansion to teach your elder sister the rules."

"It seems that the queen wants to establish her daughter's authority, but my sister can't get up now. She was punished by my father with twenty sticks last night."

"The Queen won't care so much. Cheng Yunge has to learn the rules even if he is sick."

Yan Yu covered her lips and smiled, "It's a blessing to be taught by the palace maid."

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at Yan Yu and asked, "Didn't I hear a few days ago that my eldest cousin was going to your house to propose marriage? Why is there no movement?"

"He said he would wait until my mother and your aunt come to the capital."

"My aunt is coming to the capital?"

Yan Yu nodded: "Yes, now that he wants to marry Northern Qi, I feel relieved. It doesn't matter if it's a few days earlier or later."

Zhu Jin smiled and said, "Yes, that marriage to Northern Qi is a good thing for all of us."

The four women were chatting and laughing in the room. Outside the room, the maids brought by Mu Jin and Zhu Jin were chatting and doing needlework. They would come in from time to time to add some tea and bring some snacks. Time soon reached noon.

Chu Wan's maid entered the room to remind her: "Princess, it's time to return to the palace."

Chu Wan stood up reluctantly.

"Just sitting here, chatting and laughing with the sisters, time has passed so quickly. I promised my mother that I would go back and have lunch with her, so I'll leave now."

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded and asked Mu Jin to send the person out of the house.

Chu Wan brought the maid back to the palace and happened to run into Chu Heng who was walking out.

"Fifth Brother, are you going to see Sister Cheng?"

"I'm going to the Ministry of Personnel."

"Huh? Sister Cheng is injured and you don't even go to see her?"

Chu Heng, who was walking with great speed, suddenly stopped and turned to look at Chu Wan.

"injured?"

"Yes, the injury is serious and I need to rest for half a month... Hey! Brother, I haven't finished what I want to say..."

Chu Heng’s back could no longer be seen.

Chu Heng rushed to the Prime Minister's Residence and went straight to Feiyuan Pavilion.

When I entered Feiyuan Pavilion, I saw two maids waiting outside the door.

"See..."

"Where is your girl?" Chu Heng interrupted Mu Jin and the other man while they were greeting each other.

"The young lady has finished her lunch and is taking a nap now. I will go and tell her..."

"No, don't wake her up."

On the way here, he had already learned what had happened.

He naturally didn't believe that Cheng Yunge could hurt her, but when he heard that she was seriously injured, his instinctive worry overwhelmed his reason and he couldn't wait to confirm it.

Chu Heng walked into the room with light footsteps.

The girl leaned on the couch in front of the window with her eyes closed, a thin blanket covering her body, her brows relaxed, and her breathing shallow.

When she was asleep, she lost her usual calm, dignified, aloof and cold look. She took off that layer of disguise and revealed her true appearance.

With the warm sunshine coming in through the window, her face looks somewhat innocent and childish.

This made people realize that she was only fifteen years old.

The way she behaves in her daily life makes it easy for people to ignore her age.

Chu Heng approached slowly, but before he got too close, the woman on the bed suddenly opened her eyes and sat up with a look of vigilance.

There was a haziness in her eyes from just waking up, but also a long-standing alertness.

When she saw clearly that it was Chu Heng, her shoulders relaxed slightly.

"Why is Your Highness here?" Her voice was still confused as if she had just woken up, but soon her face returned to its cold expression, as if the tenderness that only belonged to a young girl had never appeared on her.

Chu Heng sighed and woke the person up anyway.

"I heard you were injured, I came to see you."

Cheng Jiuyuan lifted the quilt, got off the ground, walked over and poured him a cup of tea.

Then he turned around and looked at him: "Your Highness should know that even if there are ten Cheng Yunge, they can't hurt me at all."

"I thought so too, but if you want to deceive the Prime Minister, you must be really injured."

Chu Heng walked forward and grabbed Cheng Jiuyuan's wrist.

Cheng Jiuyuan let him take her pulse.

Chu Heng's face suddenly sank and he looked at Cheng Jiuyuan.

"You're so cruel to yourself?"

"I know the importance of things. Only by giving can you gain. Besides, with my medical skills, it won't be difficult for me to get better anytime I want."

Chu Heng's expression was still not good. "Even if you have great martial arts and good medical skills, you can't fake the pain, right?"

"This little bit of pain is nothing." She has experienced pain a hundred times worse than this.

"You are doing this just to gain the power of Cheng Zongyang and Lin Xiao. Even without these two people, I can still defeat Chu Jing and Chu Ze."

His eyes were gloomy, his mouth was tight, and his voice was low. Only then did Cheng Jiuyuan realize that he was angry.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

Being able to exchange this little pain for the power of Cheng Zongyang and Lin Xiao is simply the most profitable and fastest way, and she thinks it is very cost-effective.

Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Chu Heng felt like he was out of control for a moment.

Cheng Jiuyuan was not an ignorant girl, she quickly understood why he was angry.

He was angry that she hurt herself.

"Your Highness, we are just allies."

Chu Heng looked at her, his black pupils hiding a bottomless dark river, gloomy and unclear.

He leaned closer to her. She was not used to being so close to someone, so she took a half step back, but he kept pressing forward.

"Yunwushan, you saved me, Loudong, you helped me. At that time, I knew that we were not allies."

"But didn't you help me a lot later? Aren't allies supposed to help each other?"

"Ally? What kind of ally can make me so worried? An ally is just an excuse for me to get close to you openly."

"I do this to keep you from getting hurt."

After saying that, he just looked at her, his eyes filled with a deep dark color, as if he wanted to suck her in.

Cheng Jiuyuan just stared at him blankly, forgetting to react.

Chu Heng helped her time and time again, she did have some guesses.

But she felt that love was hurtful and she dared not touch it again.

"Well, compared with the Crown Prince and Chu Ze, our power is still too small, and Cheng Zongyang is used to judging the situation. What I did was the simplest and most direct. It's just a minor injury, it's worth it..." She explained dryly under his burning gaze.

Chu Heng looked at her deeply and interrupted her explanation.

"Cheng Jiuyuan, don't let yourself get hurt again."

Faced with such a look, Cheng Jiuyuan stopped talking and nodded blankly.
