Being a cannon fodder female supporting role is not as good as marrying a lucky villain

"Yesterday's assassins were sent by the Huns! I heard that the emperor was furious, so he wanted to check the whole area to find the spies who cooperated with the Huns!"

"The Xiongnu is so far away from us, but they can still reach out their hand, I'm afraid the status of this spy is very important..."

"I heard that it's the Pei family! The Pei family has been in the border for many years and has dealt with the Huns a lot. Maybe they were bewitched by the conditions promised by the Huns?"

A few laundry maids were by the river, and they quickly exchanged the news they heard from everywhere.

Like them, there are several guards patrolling.

For a while, rumors of the Pei family colluding with the Huns spread in the camp.

Gu Ning lazily leaned against the tree, playing with a handful of wild flowers in her hand, but when she heard the rumor, she immediately sat up straight, her delicate face was full of coldness.

"Chunyu, where did the news about Pei's collusion with the Huns come from?"

Hearing this, Chunyu looked around and lowered her voice: "I heard it came from the main tent, I'm afraid it's the emperor's intention."

"Impossible." Gu Ning waved his hand, very sure, "The emperor is not good at governing the country, but he can judge people. He is stupid to put the Pei family and the Xiongnu together!"

The emperor is a foolish emperor, but he knows himself well. He is usually afraid of the Pei family, and even uses insidious methods, but he will not openly target the Pei family.

The 30 soldiers at the border all obeyed the instructions of Old General Pei, and the military power in the hands of the eldest princess has not been confiscated. How could he spread this rumor at such a time?

"County Lord, it's just a rumor, no one will believe it." Seeing Gu Ning's ugly face, Chunyu quickly comforted her.

The ministers who were able to come to the autumn hunting with the emperor were also winking and would not believe such rumors.

Gu Ning's face was heavy, and he shook his head slowly: "If such rumors are allowed to penetrate into the hearts of the people, the reputation of the Pei family will be wiped out! What's more, this rumor must have been spread by someone with a heart!"

What she thought of at the moment was the fate of the Pei family in the book.

At that time, after Gu Qingqiu married Chu Yunyi, similar rumors spread in the capital, saying that the Pei family avenged Gu Ning and colluded with the Huns. At that time, this rumor was not taken seriously by the Pei family. There were many similar rumors. It is impossible to clarify one by one.

However, it was precisely such inconspicuous rumors that in the end, the loyal Pei family was charged with treason, and finally ended up being executed!

But before the time point in the book, such rumors appeared, Gu Ning had to think about it.

Could it be that a conspiracy against the Pei family has already started somewhere that I haven't noticed yet?

Gu Ning squeezed Chunyu's hand tightly, and said word by word: "Every word makes money, even if it is fake, it can be said to be true!"

"We must not let this rumor continue!" Gu Ning gritted his teeth, stood up, and walked towards the noble girls who were talking enthusiastically.

"Actually, it is reasonable for the Pei family to do this. After all, they have 30 troops in their hands, and they are self-respecting. If they can cooperate with the Xiongnu internally and externally, maybe they will succeed in their rebellion?"

A noble girl said happily, but did not notice Gu Ning's arrival.

Beside her, Tang Rulan, the daughter of the censor who Gu Ning had met once, expressed excitement in her tone: "As soon as this news comes out, the emperor will definitely let someone investigate thoroughly! I want to see how arrogant Gu Ning was at that time. !"

With a crisp sound of "slap", a heavy slap landed on Tang Rulan's face.

She covered her face and looked at the person who appeared in front of her in disbelief: "Gu Ning! How dare you hit me! Are you crazy? Even the county lord, you can't humiliate people like this!"

"You were the one who beat you!" Gu Ning sneered and shouted, "My grandfather guarded the border for more than [-] years for the people of Chu State, separated from his grandmother by thousands of miles! Only once a year can he return to Beijing!"

"My grandmother, who spent half her life as a soldier, made great achievements in battle, and is the princess who protects the country!"

"My eldest cousin! Second cousin! They all fought on the battlefield at a young age, defending their families and the country!"

"The Pei family is full of loyalty! Whether it is for the country or for the king, you have a clear conscience! Your father and brother are timid and timid. You have never left the capital for most of your life. You live in the shade of your ancestors. How dare you spread rumors about the Pei family here?"

As Gu Ning said, he grabbed Tang Rulan's hand and dragged her forward.

"Gu Ning! Let me go! What do you want to do!" Tang Rulan turned pale and kept patting Gu Ning's hand.

Gu Ning sneered, and tied her both hands, no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free.

She looked at Tang Rulan, and said with a sneer, "I want to take you to see the Empress! Please, Empress, for me! Make the decision for the Pei family! Our Pei family cannot allow you to slander me like this!"

"Chunyu, tie them all up for me!"

Gu Ning gave an order, besides Chunyu, several maids came forward aggressively.

These delicate and frail noble ladies were vulnerable in front of them, and were soon captured one by one, and escorted to the main tent.

Tang Rulan's expression changed drastically, and she looked at Gu Ning in anger and horror: "Are you crazy? It's just a few jokes, and you are going to make trouble in front of the empress!"

"A joke?" Gu Ning chuckled, and suddenly pulled her skirt, her beautiful eyebrows and eyes were very close to Tang Rulan, "If I say that Mr. Tang takes bribes, what should you do?"

"My father is innocent..." Tang Rulan was in a daze after speaking halfway, and dared not say any more.

Gu Ning snorted coldly, and brought the four of them to the main tent where the queen was. When she saw the queen, she fell to her knees.

"Empress! Please make the decision for me! Make the decision for the Pei family!" Gu Ning's eyes were full of tears, and when she raised her head, the tears rolled down, and two lines of tears hung on her fair cheeks very clearly.

The queen was drinking tea with several ladies, and she suddenly saw Gu Ning barging in. She was in a bad mood, but seeing Gu Ning's pitiful appearance, she immediately put down the teacup.

Nanny Fang quickly stepped forward and helped Gu Ning up.

"Ning'er, what's the matter with you?" The queen sized Gu Ning carefully, and then her eyes fell on Tang Rulan and the others, "You are..."

Gu Ning held a handkerchief and kept wiping away his tears. As soon as the ginger-stained handkerchief was close to his eyes, more tears flowed out.

The emotions were almost brewing, Gu Ning cried loudly with a "wow", and said aggrievedly: "They said that the Pei family colluded with the Huns! They intend to assassinate the emperor!"

"Empress! You are the most clear! From my grandparents to my cousins ​​and me, they are all loyal to Da Chu and have never had two hearts!"

"Except for my uncle, all the male members of the Pei family are killing the enemy at the border. They have never slacked off for a day! There is only one chance to visit relatives every year! Our Pei family is so dedicated, why should we be charged with such a crime of infidelity? ?”

Gu Ning cried aggrievedly, talking and crying loudly, not only the queen's camp, but even the emperor who was having fun not far away heard Gu Ning's earth-shattering cry.

Tang Rulan knelt on the ground with a pale face, the pain in her hand was not the slightest bit of panic in her heart.

She quickly knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the servant girl is just a momentary mistake, and she has absolutely no intention of slandering the Pei family!"

"Just using a momentary mistake as an excuse to cover up your sinister intentions?" Gu Ning cried loudly, "Everyone knows that the Pei family is loyal and patriotic, but you are unscrupulously discrediting the name of the Pei family! I want you to report to me Grandfather and grandmother apologize!"

Listening to Gu Ning's loud cry, the Queen only felt pain in her head.

She quickly asked Nanny Fang to comfort Gu Ning, and said softly, "Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."

"Go and invite the Eldest Princess, Mrs. Tang, Mrs. Li, and the others to come!" The empress looked coldly at the noble ladies kneeling on the ground, and ordered the palace servants around her one by one.

Tang Rulan's body trembled uncontrollably, the Tang family had the strictest education, if her father and mother knew what she had done today...then she would have to shed her skin even if she didn't die!

However, no one dared to refute the queen's words.

Before the Tang family and others arrived, the emperor came after hearing the news.

Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, and Gu Ning who was sobbing beside the queen, he suddenly felt uneasy.

"How is this going?"

Seeing that the emperor had come, Tang Rulan and the others became even more stiff and stammered, not daring to say a word.

Gu Ning covered his face and cried: "They slandered the Pei family, saying that the Pei family colluded with the Huns! I heard it! I want them to apologize to their grandparents!"

"Nonsense!" The emperor burst into anger.

Although he was afraid of the Pei family, he never thought of bringing the Pei family into relationship with the Xiongnu. The Pei family was like a pinnacle to the sea at the border!

Such smearing of the Pei family's reputation would probably make the Pei family feel bad about him, and he was even more afraid that these rumors would actually push the Pei family to the Xiongnu.

The anger on the emperor's face was almost turned into substance. If it wasn't for the delicate girls in front of him, he would have kicked them out of the tent one by one.

The eldest princess walked in under such a tense atmosphere. Madam Tang behind her looked anxious, and her body froze when she saw Tang Rulan kneeling on the ground.

"See the emperor and empress."

Mrs. Tang's faces were so ugly that they didn't dare to ask any questions.

It wasn't until the eldest princess persuaded Gu Ning softly that they learned what had happened from Gu Ning.

Mrs. Tang's eyes darkened, she slapped Tang Rulan, and knelt down beside her.

"The minister's wife is not strict in governing the family, so that Rulan offended the old general Pei, the eldest princess, and the few generals of the Pei family. They should be punished! I also ask the emperor to come down!"

Tang Rulan covered her red and swollen cheeks, not daring to say a word, and knelt on the ground, weeping uncontrollably.

The same is true for other wives, they are afraid that because of their daughter's words, the whole family will be implicated.

In the tent, no one spoke for a long time.

It was the emperor who broke the deadlock. He looked at the eldest princess and said respectfully, "Auntie, I leave this matter to you."

The eldest princess glanced at these people, and slowly shook her head: "This matter is light, it is just a joke of a few children, it is not worth fighting, but it is serious... that is to slander the Pei family! Separating the Pei family and the emperor with sinister intentions!"

She emphasized the last sentence emphatically, and when she saw a few noble girls trembling because of fear, she sighed faintly: "After all, I don't have the heart to punish them too much at such a young age, why not deal with it lightly Bar."

"Ning'er, what do you think?"

Tang Rulan just let go of her heart, because the words of the eldest princess hung up again, she looked at Gu Ning cautiously.
