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

"I have to go to the palace."

Gu Ning let go of her hand, a pair of beautiful eyes shone brighter under the candlelight, she explained to Xie Yan's puzzled gaze.

"Song Shuqing won't believe you. Only if I go, will she let down her vigilance and be able to endure the days in the Xu family."

"As for letting Song Shuqing protect herself..."

Gu Ning thought of the most important thing, she immediately grabbed Xie Yan's hand, her eyes were sharp: "Can you think of a way to make... Xu Liang not move?"

Hearing this, Xie Yan's calm face could be seen faintly astonished.

Gu Ning said eloquently; "Xu Liang has fought in the army for many years. Although he is already rich and sick, it is easy to deal with a weak woman like Song Shuqing. In order to protect Song Shuqing, there is only one way."

"If you are short of medicine, you can tell me." Gu Ning thought of a lot of strange medicines in the system mall, and his expression was very complacent.

But after she said this, she regretted it. She seemed to have exposed something, and hurriedly added: "I'll ask Doctor Zhou for it."

Xie Yan rubbed the center of his brows, and replied helplessly: "Okay, I will let someone do it."

"Hurry up!" Gu Ning emphasized, "Xu Liang is a pervert, since Song Shuqing agreed to help me, of course I have to protect her well."

Xie Yan nodded, but before he could speak, his expression changed drastically.

At the same time, Gu Ning heard footsteps outside.

This person is definitely not Chunyu, who came late at night and was sent by the Queen Mother?

Gu Ning felt a sudden sense of crisis, and the moment the door opened, she covered herself and Xie Yan under the quilt.

Covered by dim candlelight and layers of curtains, as long as that person does not come to the bed, he will never find Xie Yan's existence.

"Chunyu, do you want to be punished? Without my permission, how could you..."

Gu Ning spoke in displeasure, with a strong displeasure in his tone.

It's just that what she saw through the curtain was Qing Gu's figure.

"why you?"

Qinggu smiled apologetically: "The empress dowager saw a black shadow when she woke up, she was worried about the county lord's safety, so she specially asked the servants to come and have a look."

"When did you enter my room without communication? What about Chunyu? Where did you die?"

Qing Gu is the Empress Dowager's confidant, the entire harem, even the former empress respects her three points, Gu Ning's tone is cold and harsh, completely treating Qing Gu as an ordinary servant.

For a moment, Qinggu's face was bluish and purple, which was very exciting.

But she has a lot of energy-raising skills, and after a while, she returned to her usual expression: "The queen mother is too worried, and the slaves are in a hurry, so they rushed over."

"Huh!" Gu Ning raised his chin proudly, and made a few noises with his nose, "I'm fine, you should go back and report to me."

Hearing this, Qing Gu didn't leave, she was still standing in the hall.

When Gu Ning saw this, he said in a strange way: "Qinggu, don't you suspect that I am the black shadow that disturbed the Queen Mother?"

"I don't dare, my servant is just worried about you, so I want to search this side hall to avoid any fish slipping through the net." Qing Gu lowered her head and answered in a low voice.

Although her words were respectful, Gu Ning could feel her gaze looking around.

Sure enough, it was aimed at me, but I don't know what the queen mother ordered Qinggu to do this, what did she want to find out from her?

Gu Ning lifted the curtain of the bed, and Qing Lingling stared straight at Qinggu: "Qinggu search, I want to see what you can find from me."

Her attitude made Qing Gu dare not move.

It was just that the queen mother got the news that Xie Yan had not returned to Xie's mansion, nor had she stayed in the imperial army. The queen mother's intuition over the years made her suspect that Xie Yan and Gu Ning had a tryst in the palace, so she asked herself to investigate under the guise of a reason Explore it, it is best to catch a current one.

Unexpectedly, the maid named Chunyu was easily controlled, she rushed into the side hall but did not see Xie Yan's figure.

The entire side hall was empty, only Gu Ning was sitting on the bed and looking at her coldly.

"Young lady, let's see for myself." Gu Ning leaned lazily on the head of the bed, resting his chin in one hand, looking at Qinggu's eyes in a leisurely manner.

It's just that the side hall is not often occupied by people, and this time it was cleaned up in a hurry for a few clan women to enter the palace to accompany the queen mother. There is no place to hide people inside.

Qing Gu wanted to lift Gu Ning's quilt to take a look, but the Pei family has a fierce reputation, and Gu Ning is also perverse and domineering, so she can only bury such thoughts in her heart.

"It's the servant girl who is being abrupt." Qing Gu lowered her head and spoke in a low voice.

Seeing her being so cautious, Gu Ning said with a sneer: "Your aunt should not make such a mistake next time. Even if you want to search at my place, you should let Chunyu pass it on. You are so unruly. They don't look like the people around the empress dowager."

"The county lord has taught you the lesson." Qing Gu nodded quickly, and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, Gu Ning suddenly lifted the quilt and strode in front of her.

Qing Gu's eyes subconsciously stayed on the bed, trying to see if there were traces of someone hiding from there, but soon, Gu Ning's words made her have no other thoughts.

"It's about the safety of the Empress Dowager, so naturally I can't just search my residence." Gu Ning said softly, "Chu Shiling, have you gone? Chengchengyang County Lord, have you gone?"

"I saw that there are many places for Tibetans in the harem, why don't we ask the imperial guards to take a look?" Gu Ning looked at Qing Gu with a smile, waiting for her answer.

Gu Ning really wanted to go to Concubine Xian to have a look, she was very interested in the death of the Fourth Prince.

Naturally, Qinggu would not agree. There are always many secrets in the imperial city at night, and Gu Ning must not let them know.

So she made a look of panic, and kept shaking her hands in front of Gu Ning: "You can't do it, you are a rich man, how can you do these things? Don't worry, the empress dowager has already sent the imperial army to inspect the palaces , it's just that she is worried about you, and that's why she let the maidservant go this way in person."

"The empress dowager really cares about me!" Gu Ning held his heart in his hands, his eyes were sincere, and moved, "I will definitely repay the empress dowager!"

Seeing that she finally said nothing about going to search together, Qing Gu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, bid farewell to Gu Ning, and hurried to the main hall.

In order to stop Gu Ning's panic, he must come back.

After Qinggu left, Chunyu, who was stopped by someone, rushed in. She knew that Xie Yan and Gu Ning were staying together, so she stood on the opposite corridor. She never thought that Qinggu would send someone to take her out .

Gu Ning couldn't hear her no matter how loudly she spoke.

After Chunyu rushed in, what she saw was Gu Ning and Xie Yan's disheveled appearance, but one was standing in the hall and the other was lying on the bed.

She paused and subconsciously walked out.

But Gu Ning stopped her: "You cover me here, I want to go out."

Not only Chunyu, Xie Yan also looked at her: "Go out?"

It was getting dark outside, so going out at this time must be a shameful thing to do.

Gu Ning came to Xie Yan's side, and his voice was very sweet: "Take me out to have a look! I always feel that the death of the fourth prince is not that simple."

Seeing Xie Yan's silent appearance, Gu Ning's eyes were full of astonishment: "You can't do this, can you?"

Xie Yan lowered his eyes, and nodded slowly under Gu Ning's gaze.

Gu Ning was shocked and held his hand: "Is the fourth prince a threat to you? Or is it his mother clan...wrong."

Gu Ning shook his head, and his thoughts gradually became clear. The fourth prince was born to a court lady, and he didn't have any powerful mother clan. In this case, Xie Yan has no reason to get rid of the fourth prince, unless it is...

"The emperor is old and weak, and he wants to seek the law of longevity. Before that, Daoist Chen was there. Although his heart was ready to move, he was still at peace. He just took some pills, but three months ago, a celestial master surnamed Zheng When he came to the capital, he used a few medicines to cure the headache that had troubled the emperor for many days, so the emperor trusted him more than Chen Daochang."

"And this Tianshi Zheng proposed a method, saying that it can prolong the life of the emperor, and the introduction of this medicine...is the blood of the emperor's heirs."

Gu Ning was shocked by these words and fell silent: "Use human blood as a lure? The fourth prince is..."

"The fourth prince died in a miserable state, with knife wounds all over his body. Concubine Xian passed out at that time. The emperor sent someone to block the news, but some people guessed that the fourth prince had another cause of death."

After Xie Yan said these words, Gu Ning's fingers trembled slightly: "He..."

Even tiger poison does not eat its offspring, the fourth prince is the emperor's own son, and he can do such a cruel thing, using human blood as medicine to lure...

Thinking of this, Gu Ning shuddered.

"Don't worry." Xie Yan held Gu Ning in his arms, his eyes dimmed, "I won't let him hurt you."

Gu Ning opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"I'm not afraid, I'm just... I just didn't expect him to dare to do this. The fourth prince is dead. What's next? The fifth prince?"

"Maybe it's the prince." Xie Yan's tone was as usual, but where Gu Ning couldn't see, his eyes were as thick as ink, "The prince is a descendant, and his blood may be more useful to the emperor."

Gu Ning's body was tense, and she had a vague guess about Xie Yan's words.

But as soon as she raised her head, she saw Xie Yan's eyes trying to become gentle. The next moment, she couldn't say those words.

That's it.

She closed her eyes and leaned against Xie Yan's arms.

Just pretend that you don't know anything, she's just a salted fish anyway.

……

The main hall is brightly lit.

The queen mother was holding the Buddhist beads, feeling very uneasy in her heart, and the movements in her hands became faster and faster.

Seeing Qing Gu come back, she stood up directly: "What's the matter?"

"Empress Dowager, the county master is not abnormal." Qing Gu shook her head, "I have never seen anyone else before, do you..."

"Even if Ai's guess is wrong." The queen mother rubbed her brows, and before she relaxed, she heard a panic shout outside.

"Not good! Not good!"

"Concubine Xian committed suicide!"

This cry shocked the entire harem.
