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

There were constant chirping sounds in the woods, the afternoon sun shone through the branches, and the carriage passed leisurely along the way, accompanied by wild flowers of various colors.

The carriage was filled with the aroma of tea. Chu Heng sat upright on one side of the carriage. His moon-white robe made him look elegant. He had a smile on his lips and his folding fan lightly tapped his palm.

Being stared at like this, even the thickest-skinned person would find it hard to bear.

Cheng Jiuyuan picked up the tea to hide the unnatural feeling.

In the end, it was Chu Heng who spoke up to break the awkwardness.

"I have sent someone to look for Zhang Jiucheng, the person you are looking for. His whereabouts are always erratic, but we could still find some information about him in the past. But in the past five years, he seems to have disappeared from the world."

Cheng Jiuyuan slowly put down the teacup and thought: "My people haven't found out either. He is either dead or imprisoned by someone in a high position of power."

"What on earth do you want to do with him?"

"Ask him to forge something."

"what?"

"Let's find the person first. This is the key to overthrowing the Wei family."

“What if you can’t find it?”

Cheng Jiuyuan was silent for a moment. If he couldn't find it, and Jiang Xiubai hadn't found any evidence of Wei Tiankuang's dealings with Northern Qi, it would be too difficult to bring down the Wei family.

Could he sneak into the Northern Qi imperial palace and steal Qi Zhen's private seal? That would be even more difficult.

"I must find him." When she returns, she will make use of all the connections her master left her.

If you turn the entire Dongling upside down, I don’t believe you won’t be able to find a Zhang Jiuchen.

The topic was put to rest for a moment, and the carriage returned to silence.

After a short while of silence, the carriage suddenly became bumpy.

"careful!"

Seeing that the teacup was about to fall over, both of them reached out to catch it.

When their hands overlapped, Cheng Jiuyuan was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked up, and met a pair of misty and affectionate eyes.

She slowly looked away, but the shaking continued.

Why is this winding mountain road so bumpy?

She curiously lifted the car curtain and looked inside.

The road was clearly wide enough for two or three carriages to drive side by side, but Shan Lan was seen driving his carriage alongside the side, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

Cheng Jiuyuan lowered the curtain and sighed, "Such a wide and flat road is really hard for him."

Chu Heng saw her sitting on the other side, even though the carriage was so bumpy, she didn't move at all. Except for the cups and glasses on the table, no one else was affected.

Just as Shan Lan was feeling secretly proud of himself, Chu Heng knocked on the car door with his folding fan.

"Drive well."

As soon as the words fell, the carriage suddenly stabilized.

Shan Lan then remembered that this trick of his was useless against Miss Cheng Er, who was highly skilled in martial arts.

"Lord Shanlan is such a worrier." Cheng Jiuyuan said with a laugh.

As she reached out to pour the tea, he suddenly reached out and pulled her over.

Cheng Jiuyuan didn't expect him to use this trick. She was careless for a moment and fell into his arms.

There was a faint woody scent lingering at the tip of my nose, just like the feeling he gave me, warm and non-aggressive.

"Then don't let him down." A gentle voice with a smile sounded above my head, and I could even feel the vibration of his chest.

After being stunned, Cheng Jiuyuan quickly climbed up from his arms. At this time, the carriage suddenly shook again.

Chu Heng groaned.

Cheng Jiuyuan's face was flushed with red, and the heat spread from her face to the tips of her ears and neck, and her eyes fell on her hands.

She came to her senses and quickly moved her hand away. Just as she was about to sit back down, Chu Heng pulled her to sit beside him.

At this time, Shan Lan's voice came from outside the car: "Master, don't blame me this time. There is a big rock in the middle of the road."

Cheng Jiuyuan didn't know where to look and couldn't even look directly at her own hand.

She had never been so reckless in her two lifetimes.

Damn Chu Heng, damn stone...

Chu Heng coughed lightly, quietly pulled the hand beside him, and clasped their fingers together.

"Shy?"

Cheng Jiuyuan didn't say anything. If you didn't look at the color on her face, her expression was quite calm.

"We are an engaged couple, and what happened just now was just an accident."

Cheng Jiuyuan still didn't speak.

After a long time, Chu Heng didn't speak again.

Cheng Jiuyuan quietly turned her head and found that he was leaning against the carriage with his eyes closed.

My eyes fell on his red ears, and I realized that he was not as indifferent as he said.

Her gaze slowly moved to their intertwined hands, and she felt warm and at ease.

My gaze returned to his face. The sunlight shone on his face through the gaps in the curtains that were lifted from time to time, flickering.

The side profile is neat and steady, the closed eyes look elegant and calm, the nose is handsome and straight, the lips...

"If you keep looking, I can't promise that I won't do something to you." At some point, he opened his eyes and looked at her with a hint of teasing.

Cheng Jiuyuan withdrew her gaze and struggled, but he let go and held her to his chest.

"This will take an hour. Just rest for a while."

It is really tiring to sit properly for an hour.

Cheng Jiuyuan leaned in his arms, and when she saw that he had no more unnecessary movements, she stopped struggling.

The human cushion was indeed more comfortable than leaning on a horse-drawn carriage, and my stiff body gradually relaxed.

As she was swaying, she actually fell asleep.

Chu Heng opened his eyes and looked at the woman in his arms. Seeing that she looked calm and breathing clearly, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and a hint of tenderness appeared between his brows.

He reached out and gently pushed the loose hair on her face behind her ears. He looked at her for a long time, then leaned against the carriage and slowly closed his eyes.

The carriage swayed through the woods, bypassed villages and mountains, passed through the busy alleys, and finally stopped steadily in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Master, we're here."

The doorman of the Xiangfu hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and tell them that the Fifth Prince is coming down, and the Second Miss is back too!"

Awakened by the noise outside, Cheng Jiuyuan suddenly opened his eyes and sat up straight in an instant.

There was a hint of surprise in her eyes.

She originally wanted to close her eyes and rest, but unexpectedly she fell asleep and slept for such a long time.

She looked at Chu Heng with complicated eyes.

It turned out that deep down in her heart, she trusted him so much.

"Get out of the car." Chu Heng said softly.

He got off the carriage first, turned around and extended his hand to Cheng Jiuyuan.

Looking at the big hand in front of him, Cheng Jiuyuan used his hand to get off the carriage with mixed feelings.

At this time, Songlan and Mujin came out hurriedly.

"girl!"

"Girl, you are back!"

"Girl, you've lost weight. Did you not eat well?"

The two men only have their own girl in their eyes and cannot tolerate anyone else.

"Don't be rude in front of His Highness." Cheng Jiuyuan reminded softly.

The two of them saw Chu Heng behind Cheng Jiuyuan and hurriedly saluted.

"Meet the Fifth Prince."

"No need to be polite."

"Your Highness, please come in and have some tea?"

"No need. Didn't you say you would thank me after you finish the exam? I have nothing to do tomorrow."

Cheng Jiuyuan was stunned. She didn't expect that he still remembered it.

"Then tomorrow at noon, Ruyi Tower will be waiting for your arrival."

"In that case, I will return to the palace first."

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded slightly and watched Chu Heng get on the carriage.

Shan Lan bowed to Cheng Jiuyuan, turned his horse around and drove away.

Cheng Jiuyuan walked into the mansion with two chattering maids. Mu Jin, who was usually calm, became more talkative because they hadn't seen each other for such a long time. Cheng Jiuyuan patiently answered their questions one by one.

When I arrived at the front hall, I saw Lin rushing in surrounded by a group of people.

"Has the Fifth Prince returned to the palace?" asked Lin.

"Your Highness has something else to do, so you'll go back first." Cheng Jiuyuan walked forward with a smile.

"It's all my fault that I'm heavy and walk slowly."

"According to the date, mother will give birth in this half month, right?"

"Yes, the midwives are living in the mansion. Yuan'er, are you all right in the academy? I heard that someone was poisoned and you were framed. I was so worried."

Cheng Jiuyuan supported her as she walked towards the main courtyard and said, "Everything has been revealed. Everything is fine now."

"How could the princess of the Gaoyang family be so bold? It was just a quarrel between two girls, but she even used poison and framed you. Fortunately, your father is here."

Cheng Jiuyuan snorted coldly in her heart. If she really relied on Cheng Zongyang, she would be fine, but the stigma would always accompany her.

Even if the truth was finally revealed, he still wanted to keep the peace.

But Cheng Jiuyuan didn't say much, just said: "Yes, fortunately my father is here."

Lin patted Cheng Jiuyuan's hand in a soothing manner, "But evildoers will be punished. I heard that Chu Yu got a strange disease as soon as he returned home."

Cheng Jiuyuan curled her lips: "Oh?"

"I heard that this princess has to sleep for six hours every day."

“It’s not a strange disease.”

"Of course it doesn't count. She was in a coma from 7am to 7pm. When she was in a coma, no one could wake her up. But at the end of the 7pm, she woke up like a corpse, and then she couldn't fall asleep again."

Cheng Jiuyuan was surprised and asked, "Is the day and night reversed?"

"That's right. Several groups of imperial doctors went to the palace, but none of them could give a reason."

Cheng Jiuyuan smiled: "This is indeed strange."

Lin clasped her hands together and said, "So, people, don't do bad things. God is watching and you will be punished by God."

Cheng Jiuyuan agreed with a smile on her face.

There is no punishment from God, it's just human intention.
