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

The spring rain, bringing with it cold air, bullies the early blooming flowers; the mist, filled with wisps of smoke, secretly urging the end of spring.

The room was filled with the aroma of tea.

Cheng Jiuyuan picked up the teapot and added two cups of hot tea. She slowly pushed one cup to the opposite side and listened to Chu Heng talking about a scene in the court with a smile on her face.

"Luckily I have Yuan'er."

Cheng Jiuyuan's eyes were smiling, and she looked even more beautiful in the mist of tea fragrance, which made people's hearts flutter.

"Don't be happy too soon. Chu Ze didn't take action before because he knew you were poisoned by the heir-killing poison. Now that he knows you're fine, you're his biggest threat, and he will spare no effort to get rid of you."

Chu Heng played with the water cup in his hand, and raised the corner of his lips calmly: "Although I have been useless in recent years, if he thinks that I am easy to deal with, he is wrong."

Cheng Jiuyuan was not too worried. From what Chu Heng occasionally showed, she knew that Chu Heng was following the same path as her.

Hiding one's strength and unexpectedly delivering a fatal blow to the enemy is commonly known as playing the pig and eating the tiger.

"Regarding Cheng...my father, you should be careful of him. Don't let him know what he shouldn't know. He might sell you out one day. If he goes too far, don't worry about me."

Chu Heng looked at Cheng Jiuyuan seriously and said, "I'm not afraid that he will sell me out, I'm worried that he will sell you out."

"I am not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others."

The drizzle outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the raindrops on the gray eaves looked like a crystal bead curtain.

There were rumbling thunders in the sky, it became dark outside the window, and the entire Feiyuan Pavilion was shrouded in heavy rain.

Looking out the window, Chu Heng looked around the room, stood up, took the cloak off the screen, put it on Cheng Jiuyuan, and carefully tied the strap for her.

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at the slender and clean fingers in front of her, then raised her head to look at Chu Heng.

Chu Heng tied the cloak for her, then suddenly raised his eyes and met a pair of misty and affectionate eyes.

She tilted her head slightly, looking at him with tears in her eyes, which were glistening in the lingering rain.

Chu Heng slowly leaned over and kissed her on the lips...

Cheng Jiuyuan's guess was correct. Ever since Chu Heng diagnosed the pulse of the emperor, the Chen Palace has become uneasy and has welcomed waves of uninvited guests every now and then.

Chu Ze didn't expect Chu Heng to be so difficult to kill. Many of his men were killed, but Chu Heng was not hurt at all.

Chu Ze and Chu Heng became even more incompatible in the court. Emperor Zhaolie saw everything and finally made up his mind.

Here, Cheng Jiuyuan received a letter from Jiang Xiubai.

After the fall of the Wei family, the Wei family army was renamed the Xuanjia Army, and now the Xuanjia Army is under the command of Ge Yu.

His people discovered that Ge Yu had close contact with the capital, and were afraid that if he didn't return, the Wei family army would be named Shangguan.

After settling the people in Lingxi Village, he was not worried about other people. The only thing he was worried about was the mentally handicapped Jiang Qingqing.

He didn't know anyone in the capital, and the only person he thought of was Cheng Jiuyuan, with whom he had worked once.

In the letter, he asked Cheng Jiuyuan to look after Jiang Qingqing. He had already arranged for someone to take care of her and Cheng Jiuyuan only needed to visit her occasionally.

After reading the letter, Cheng Jiuyuan searched for the person named 'Ge Yu' in his mind, but found nothing.

She gradually began to feel worried. It would be troublesome if Ge Yu was Chu Ze's man.

Cheng Jiuyuan buried the person "Ge Yu" deep in her heart, but she didn't expect that this matter would be verified by Cheng Zongyang.

Cheng Zongyang has been coming back later and later recently. A few times, Cheng Jiuyuan sent people to follow him, and the news they got was that he went to Xinghua Tower. In other words, Cheng Zongyang and Chu Ze had been in close contact during this period.

Cheng Jiuyuan was practicing calligraphy that day when Mu Jin hurried in.

"girl."

"What's the matter?" Cheng Jiuyuan asked without stopping writing and without raising his head.

Mu Jin came forward, took her pen and put it on the pen holder, smiling gently, "The weather is nice today, and the spring scenery outside is very beautiful. Don't get bored staying at home all day. Madam asked you to accompany her to Liuye Lake for a walk. Go quickly, Madam is waiting."

Although Cheng Jiuyuan felt strange, he didn't think much about it.

When they arrived at the gate of the mansion, they saw Lin standing in front of the carriage waiting.

"Yuan'er, let's go. I'm ready."

The two got on the carriage, and it slowly drove forward.

"It's nice to go out for a walk in this nice weather. If your father hadn't reminded me, I would have ignored you. Wherever you want to go in the future, tell mother and she will accompany you." Lin lifted the car curtain, looked outside, turned around and said to Cheng Jiuyuan with a smile.

Cheng Jiuyuan understood that it was Cheng Zongyang who asked Lin to bring her out.

She wanted to see what Cheng Zongyang was up to.

The carriage soon arrived at Willow Leaf Lake.

The lake water is crystal clear and when the breeze blows, ripples appear on the surface of the lake, as if countless silver snakes are dancing.

Willow trees swayed in the wind, and apricot blossoms fell on the lake like stars falling into the blue water.

Cheng Jiuyuan accompanied Lin as they walked along the lake, feeling the spring breeze on their faces.

If it weren't for the unexpected guest, it would have been quite pleasant.

"Mrs. Cheng, Miss Cheng, what a coincidence."

Lin was obviously surprised as well. She quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Rui."

Cheng Jiuyuan also bowed and his eyes turned cold.

Cheng Zongyang not only wanted to sell Chu Heng, he also wanted to sell his daughter for fame.

For the sake of power and status, one has completely lost all morals.

She is engaged, and if this gets out, her reputation will be ruined.

Chu Ze closed his folding fan, looking very elegant, "I want to talk to Miss Cheng alone, Madam Cheng, can you..."

Lin looked at Cheng Jiuyuan in embarrassment.

Before she could say anything, a maid came in hurriedly, panting and said, "Madam, the young master suddenly has a high fever, please go back and check on him!"

Lin's expression changed and she looked at Cheng Jiuyuan: "Yuan'er..."

"Since Madam has something to do at home, you can leave first. I will personally send Miss Cheng back later."

Cheng Jiuyuan smiled and said, "I won't bother you, Your Highness. My brother is ill and I am worried about him, so I will go back with mother."

Lin nodded, this was the best way.

Chu Ze frowned and stood in front of Cheng Jiuyuan in a hurry.

"Miss Cheng, you don't have to avoid me like a snake or scorpion. I really just have a few words to say to you."

"Your Highness, I have nothing much to say to you. If you have any questions, you can go to my father." After saying this, Cheng Jiuyuan took Lin's arm and walked forward.

Chu Ze looked at Cheng Jiuyuan's slim back with deep eyes.

In the carriage, Lin was worried about her son and said to Cheng Jiuyuan with an apologetic look, "I don't know how Ji'er is doing. It's really not suitable for you to go out today. I'll go out with you another day."

Cheng Jiuyuan comforted her, "Don't worry, mother. Brother Ji is fine."

She knew very well that the high fever was just an excuse for Cheng Zongyang to trick Lin into leaving.

After returning home, Lin and Cheng Jiuyuan ran to the main courtyard together, and as expected, they saw Ji Ge'er lying in the arms of his wet nurse, smiling happily.

At this time, Cheng Zongyang also rushed over after hearing the news.

"Why are you back?" he looked at Cheng Jiuyuan and asked.

Cheng Jiuyuan didn't answer, Lin said: "I heard that Ji Ge'er had a high fever, Yuan'er and I were worried, so we naturally came back."

Cheng Zongyang looked regretful.

It was Prince Rui himself who failed to keep the person, so it’s not his fault.

"Strange, didn't you say he had a high fever?" Lin checked her son carefully and found that everything was normal.

"Brother Ji was sweating profusely while playing just now and had a fever. I was worried, so I asked someone to ask you to come back," Cheng Zongyang explained.

"It's okay, it's okay." Lin breathed a sigh of relief and hugged her son and kissed him.

Cheng Zongyang walked out, and Cheng Jiuyuan followed him out of the room.
