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

"The third prince is getting married? To make the emperor happy?"

"This is really a filial son!"

"Then Miss Gu is also willing?"

"You don't understand now, do you?" Someone who knows the key points of this hastily explained to those who don't understand, "This Miss Gu's parents are both local officials, and she can marry the third prince in her previous life." How could she care about the purpose of this marriage with the blessings she has cultivated?"

"That's right! The third prince is handsome and capable. Eight out of ten ladies in Beijing want to marry him. This Miss Gu really took advantage of him!"

A few scholars sitting outside the teahouse talked loudly, wishing to shake out all these things one by one. Seeing that they were about to talk about the grievances between Gu Qingqiu and Gu Ning, there was a series of heavy sounds coming from the city gate ahead. Looking over there, several heavily armed cavalry were riding towards the imperial city.

The armor on their bodies glowed with silver light, especially in the sunlight.

Seeing this scene, everyone subconsciously fell silent.

"Where did the cavalry come from? How dare you ride a horse in the capital?"

Everyone knows that horses are not allowed to ride horses in the capital. Once caught by the imperial army, they will be punished with ten boards at least, or jailed at worst.

"This is the Jade Dragon Army that is in charge of fighting against southern Xinjiang. The leader is not simple. The armor is all made of fine iron!"

An old man was shaking his fan, out of place in the bone-chilling winter, but as soon as he opened his mouth, everyone's eyes turned from his fan to his face.

"What does this mean?"

"The armor made of fine iron is very expensive, and it is not something ordinary people can use. I heard that only the leader of the army can wear it. The leader must be the second prince who is the commander of the Jade Dragon Army!"

"The second prince born to that imperial concubine!"

The crowd was in an uproar. Concubine Song Guifei was also a famous figure in the capital a few years ago. The romantic affairs between her and the emperor have been circulated in the capital for a long time, but over the years, there have been too many news about Gu Ning and Chu Yunyi. The imperial concubine of the Song Dynasty intentionally hibernated, and there was less and less news about her, until now that it was mentioned by the old man, some people remembered it.

"Song Guifei is a formidable person. If the queen hadn't played chess well, she might be sitting on the queen's throne now!" The old man seemed to know these things very well, and talked to these people with great interest. .

Everyone was also happy to listen to the excitement, and everyone was very supportive.

"If you want to talk about this Concubine Song, she will lose in her family. Otherwise, with the second prince alone, she will be able to sit firmly on the queen's throne! The second prince is already the leader of the Jade Dragon Army at a young age. The other princes can't catch up with the horses, do you know the black cavalry?"

"I know!" A person quickly replied, "When the late emperor was here, our black cavalry of Chu State made Yan State and the Xiongnu fearful!"

The old man waved his folding fan and said with a meaningful smile: "The black cavalry of the Chu Kingdom are powerful, but that was all in the days of the first emperor. Now the most powerful in our Chu Kingdom is the Jade Dragon Army!"

Chu Mengyang, the leader of the Jade Dragon Army who was discussed by everyone, had already stopped at the gate of the imperial city.

The soldiers around him got off their horses one after another, and he was the only one who sat firmly on the horseback, looking sharply at the forbidden army in front of him.

"Father once ordered that the king can enter the palace on horseback. Are you not paying attention to father's words? Or is it that the person who is in charge of this imperial city has become the queen?"

"Second Highness, the emperor's health is not yet complete. For the sake of the emperor's health, the empress dowager strictly prohibits making noise in the palace. The sound of horseshoes is too loud, which may disturb the emperor. Please dismount and walk."

The forbidden army stood at the gate of the city with a very respectful tone, but no matter how sharp Chu Mengyang's eyes were, he didn't seem to see it, and still blocked Chu Mengyang's way firmly.

After a long time, Chu Mengyang sneered and said, "If the father is not still alive, this king would think that the imperial city has changed its owner!"

That's what he said, but Chu Mengyang still got off his horse neatly and walked into the palace with his sword in hand.

However, the imperial guard stepped forward again, staring straight at the sword in his hand.

"The empress dowager has a decree that, except for the patrolling guards, no one in the imperial city can carry sharp weapons, even Old General Pei and the others are no exception."

Hearing this, the smile on Chu Mengyang's face became even more sarcasm: "This won't work, and that won't work either. It really is a trick that the Queen Mother can think of!"

He casually threw the sword to the followers behind him, and strode into the imperial city.

This time, no one dared to stop him.

The news of Chu Mengyang's return to Beijing was like a gust of wind, quickly reaching everyone's ears and eyes.

Sitting in front of the emperor's couch, the queen mother saw that the emperor was soundly asleep, got up and walked out, and winked at Li Dehai beside her calmly.

"Although the emperor took the elixir given by Chen Daochang, his body has not fully recovered, so he can't be angry. If the second prince asks to see him, you stop him. He will always make the emperor angry. If it was before, the Ai family would just turn a blind eye. Close your eyes, but now the emperor's body is the most important thing, and you must not be influenced by him!"

Li Dehai smirked: "The empress dowager's teachings, this old servant will always keep in mind, but if the emperor wants to see the Second Highness, this old servant will not dare to stop him no matter what."

"Forget it, just go up with the emperor." The queen mother waved her hand, but did not get angry.

She didn't pin her hopes on Li Dehai at first, who didn't know that Li Dehai was the most loyal dog around the emperor, and his every move represented the emperor's thoughts.

"Respectfully send off the empress dowager." Li Dehai smiled flatteringly, and personally sent the empress dowager away from the Tai Chi Hall.

But when he returned to the dormitory, his expression changed again: "Your Majesty."

The emperor, who was supposed to be in a coma, was leaning on the soft bed. Although his eyes were cloudy, the light in them could be vaguely seen, and even his spirit had changed. , they started to move around, it was too hasty!"

Faced with the anger and viciousness in the emperor's eyes, Li Dehai's expression remained unchanged, and he said softly: "I think the empress dowager is also a loving mother."

"Don't cover it up for her." The Emperor fiercely clenched the letters in his hand, and threw them to Li Dehai, "Look for yourself! What did my good mother empress do with the Jiang family when I was unconscious! "

These letters were all written in special cipher text, which no one could understand except the emperor and a few cronies.

As the emperor's confidant, Li Dehai can naturally understand these letters, and because of this, his face changed drastically, and he said tremblingly: "This... this discussion is also related to the Jiang family? Jiang's behavior like this It's too bold! If you get to the bottom of it, this is a serious crime of treason!"

The emperor smiled coldly: "How could they not know that this is a felony of treason? The Jiang family is young and old, but they are all officials in the Six Departments! They all know what the fate of treason is, but they all still want to commit crimes." Collusion with Beidi and Yan Kingdom! Aren’t they just planning to help the new emperor ascend the throne, and then completely bury everything they have done?”

Hearing the murderous intent in the emperor's words, Li Dehai persuaded: "Your Highness is the one you love the most, and he also respects you the most. It must be that the Jiang family is behind Third Highness' backs for these things..."

"Whether he knows or not depends on his next actions!" The emperor's tone was unclear, but the murderous look in his eyes was enough to prove his state of mind at the moment.

Li Dehai was secretly startled and didn't dare to say any more.

"Second prince, please see me."

Outside the door, the guard's uneasy voice sounded.

The emperor closed his eyes and lay unconscious on the couch again.

Seeing this, Li Dehai had no choice but to walk out of the bedroom, bowed to Chu Mengyang, and said apologetically, "Second Highness, the emperor is still resting, so I'm afraid I won't be able to see you."

"This king can wait." Chu Mengyang said in a deep voice, "I also ask Eunuch Li to make a concession. This king is going to guard my father's bed!"

Li Dehai shook his head: "The Empress Dowager..."

"Whose bedroom is this?" Chu Mengyang's tone turned cold in an instant, "I want to see my father! You still don't want to get out of the way!"

He had a tough attitude, and before Li Dehai could speak, he pushed Li Dehai away and walked in.

Li Dehai who was following behind him hurriedly called out, but seeing that he had already arrived in the sleeping hall, he didn't dare to speak out again.

When Chu Mengyang saw the sleeping emperor lying on the bed, he knelt down with a "plop".

He didn't dare to speak out, for fear of disturbing the emperor, he just stared at the emperor with eyes full of guilt and tears, and whispered in his mouth: "Father, my son came back late! You were killed by a traitor! "

"Don't worry, I will definitely find that man out and bring his head up in front of you!"

……

At the same time, Gu Ning stood cautiously at the side door. Seeing Chunyu rushing over, she quickly waved at Chunyu: "How's the news going?"

"The servants have already inquired clearly!" Chunyu hurriedly said, "Tomorrow the third prince's residence..."

"Who asked you to inquire about this!" Gu Ning rolled his eyes, "I want to know why Xie Yan has to kneel in the grandmother's courtyard for two hours these days? What did he do to anger the grandmother?"

Hearing this, Chunyu's face flushed red: "This... I don't even know about it!"

Gu Ning squinted a pair of beautiful eyes, looked back and forth at Chunyu, and snorted softly: "How could you not know? Why don't you hurry up and tell the truth!"

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and scratched Chunyu's crunchy dimples and the itchy flesh around her waist.

Chunyu quickly backed away, but Gu Ning grabbed her, and she didn't dare to struggle too much, lest she hurt Gu Ning. In the end, Chunyu could only say repeatedly: "Speak, slave! Say, slave!"

As soon as Gu Ning let go of her, she uttered a series of words: "It happened three days ago, and the Eldest Princess found out about Mr. Xie's visit to the palace at night, so she lost her temper. To make amends, I have to come to the courtyard and kneel for two hours every day until the Eldest Princess is satisfied."

"Ah?" Gu Ning stood there in astonishment, "Isn't it the palace where his grandmother asked him to go?"
