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

"Is this what you heard?" Gu Ning asked again.

Chu Shiling thought for a while, then nodded slowly: "Well, I made friends with a few princesses before, and heard a lot about the prince from them, haven't you heard of it? Those banquets before... "

Having said that, Chu Shiling fell silent immediately.

Previously, Gu Ning was regarded as a joke by all the noble girls in the capital, and she basically didn't attend those banquets. It was only after she canceled her engagement with Chu Yunyi that she saw her figure at various banquets.

Chu Shiling smiled awkwardly, almost daring not to look at Gu Ning.

But soon, Gu Ning dispelled her doubts with a smile: "You also know that I didn't often go to banquets before, so I don't know these things."

"What are you doing asking about these things now?" Chu Shiling asked in a low voice, "Do you still want to take revenge on the prince? Gu Ning, wake up! He is the prince!"

"The eldest prince and the second prince can no longer compete for the throne. The position of the crown prince is now a certainty, and no one can shake him! After the emperor has lived for a hundred years, he will be the new emperor. Do you still want to fight against the emperor?"

"Who said the prince will definitely be able to ascend the throne?" Gu Ning's peach blossom eyes were raised high, showing a mocking smile, "Whether he can secure the position of the prince is still unknown!"

Hearing this, Chu Shiling shuddered, and said in a low voice, "What do you mean by that? Don't you mean that your Pei family is not going to let him..."

"Hush!" Gu Ning's outstretched fingers pressed against her lips, "Stop talking, be careful that the walls have ears."

Chu Shiling's head could hardly turn the corner: "What on earth do you want to say? Why do walls have ears? Could it be that there are other people's eyeliners in my county lord's mansion?"

"When the time comes, I will explain to you the ins and outs of all this." Gu Ning comforted her, "What's more, there are indeed other people's eyeliners in your house."

Chu Shiling was stunned in shock. Seeing Gu Ning blinking at her, she immediately grabbed Gu Ning's hand uneasily: "What eyeliner? Who sent it?"

"The emperor, the prince, and the queen mother all have them." Gu Ning patted her head with a smile, "Are you surprised?"

"What a surprise! It's almost shocking!" Chu Shiling immediately stood up, and walked around the room anxiously, those conspiracies and tricks filled her heart at this moment, "What should I do? Could it be that they want to attack me? But I'm just a little county lord, I didn't do anything..."

"Who asked you to make friends with me." Gu Ning sighed quietly, "They came for me, no, it should be said, they came for Pei's house, and you also suffered an unreasonable disaster."

Chu Shiling's almond eyes widened, and after a while, she let out a long sigh of relief: "It's fine if you don't come after me."

At this time, Gu Ning hooked his fingers at her.

Chu Shiling had a bad intuition, and subconsciously covered her ears: "Don't tell me those secrets, I don't want to die yet."

"What are you afraid of!" Gu Ning said softly, "With me here, no one can hurt you! Just tell me, is this Mr. Zhuang living in the East Palace or the Prince's old mansion? .”

The more gentle she was, the more something Chu Shiling felt was wrong.

"Gu Ning, what do you want to do?"

"I just want to meet Mr. Zhuang for a while."

Gu Ning blinked his eyes, his eyes were innocent.

Chu Shiling wandered back and forth suspiciously on her face, but she really couldn't see Gu Ning's more thoughts, after thinking for a while, she said quietly: "Do you think I know everything? How could I know these things? "

While talking, a figure flashed by the window, it turned out that Chunyu came in through the window.

"County Lord, this servant has already found Mr. Zhuang's residence, which is in the south of the city."

"Gu Ning! What are you doing here!"

Chu Shiling finally realized that something was wrong, Gu Ning has someone as powerful as Chunyu by his side, why should she ask herself?What I know is just gossip, how can I compare to Chunyu and the others?

"Don't be angry!" Gu Ning took her hand and smiled very softly, "I came today to use you as a cover."

"One is to make my grandmother think that I am staying with you. The other is... I want to go to the south of the city with you. I heard that there are many good things from the Western Regions in the south of the city. Come with me. I'll go there, and all the expenses will be borne by me."

She came to the south of the city by herself, which seemed a bit deliberate, but it was different with Chu Shiling. When the two of them were together, it would only remind people of four words - "idle about".

In addition, Chu Shiling has a pure personality, everything is written on her face. With Chu Shiling as a cover, almost no one will notice the two women who only care about spending money.

Chu Shiling's shameful heart was moved. As a poor person whose parents were not around, she didn't have enough money in her hands, and the money she brought back from Yuezhou last time was almost used up.

Good things from the Western Regions...

A sparkling jewel appeared in front of Chu Shiling's eyes, she gritted her teeth: "Okay! I'll go with you!"

After getting her exact answer, Gu Ning took her hand and walked out. Chu Shiling hurriedly shouted: "Wait! I haven't changed my clothes yet!"

……

The square market in the south of the city is very lively, it is the most prosperous among the hundreds of square markets in the capital, and it also sells the most complete items.

Here, you can see blond-haired and blue-eyed Persians from the Western Regions, and you can also see tall Huns with high noses and deep eyes. The products here are dazzling and dizzying.

As soon as Chu Shiling arrived here, she was like a mouse in a rice vat, overjoyed, and along the way, the maids and guards behind her carried large and small bags in their hands.

In just half an hour, Gu Ning had already spent 1 taels of silver.

And the two have not yet reached the house where Mr. Zhuang lives.

Chunyu was beside Gu Ning, and whispered: "The Zhuang's house is just ahead."

The southernmost part of this Fang City is a residential area, but most of the residential areas in this area are the places where merchants live, which does not match Mr. Zhuang's identity as the prince's staff.

Chu Shiling whispered: "It is said that the crown prince attaches great importance to Mr. Zhuang. How can he live here? According to his status, he must live in the inner city no matter what?"

Gu Ning looked around and saw a lively crowd.

"Living in the inner city is full of dignitaries, he may not feel comfortable living there." Gu Ning said quietly, "Or maybe he needs this lively place to avoid people's eyes and ears."

Chu Shiling was at a loss when he heard Gu Ning's words.

"What hides from people's eyes and ears?"

Gu Ning leaned against Chu Shiling's ear, and whispered: "If it were you, would you want to do something shameful, would you live in the inner city where dignitaries come and go, or in a city where all three religions and nine streams come and go?"

Hearing this, Chu Shiling subconsciously said, "Of course, the more people there are, the better."

"That's the reason." Gu Ning smiled, "He also thinks that the more people there are, the better he can cover up his whereabouts."

Chu Shiling opened his mouth, and his voice dragged on: "I see."

The two had already reached the middle, and the guards behind them, with big and small bags, gradually couldn't keep up with the two of them in the crowded crowd.

Only Chunyu followed, reminding all the way: "It's here."

In front of him was a small house, which looked inconspicuous.

Chu Shiling was about to speak, but Gu Ning covered her mouth and nose, and the three retreated into the alley together.

At this time, the door of the house was pushed open, and a man with a half-length beard poked his head out and looked around carefully.

Seeing no one around, he opened the door cautiously.

"Miss Banxia, ​​let's go!"

Mr. Zhuang was angry and anxious, and kept urging the people behind him.

Chu Shiling raised her head in surprise, and looked at Gu Ning.

Gu Ning was also very surprised, isn't Ban Xia someone next to Gu Qingqiu?Why did she appear in Mr. Zhuang's house?It can't be to deliver the news for Chu Yunyi, can it?

A slender figure walked out of the door, it was Pinellia.

She lowered her head and held a baby in her arms.

Gu Ning was extremely surprised.

She only heard her weeping and saying: "Mr. Zhuang, is there really no other way?"

"Miss Banxia, ​​don't hurt me! This child must not stay with me! I am the person His Highness trusts the most. If he knows that I have devised such a trick of stealing dragons and turning phoenixes with you, then our family will Lives are at stake!"

"But this child is the one you brought into the palace back then! The Crown Princess doesn't need him anymore, but his family members are... all dead. The Crown Princess asked me to get rid of him. I can't bear to..."

"When is this! You are still showing kindness here!" Mr. Zhuang said angrily, "He is just a tool. You are by the princess's side, and you have never done anything. Now you are showing kindness?"

Seeing that Ban Xia had tears in his eyes, but refused to leave, Mr. Zhuang was angry and anxious: "You hurry up! If you don't leave, both of us will die!"

"Aren't you still clear about the methods of the prince and princess?"

Mr. Zhuang's last words made Banxia shudder subconsciously.

She wept secretly, but still left.

Holding the child in her arms, she didn't know what to do. When she went out today, she deliberately disguised herself. She was dressed in coarse sackcloth, which didn't stand out among these people.

After walking all the way, she couldn't bear the fear in her heart after all, she became cruel, threw the child in an alley, and left in a hurry.

She was thinking about what to do with the child all the way, but she didn't realize that there were three people following her the whole time.

The child was thrown in the alley, and he burst into tears because of hunger.

The three of them looked at the child, and Chu Shiling spoke first: "What do you mean by stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix? Could it be what I thought..."

"It's just what you think." Gu Ning said quietly, "Gu Qingqiu may be afraid that he will give birth to a daughter, so he deliberately asked people to search for a baby boy in the folks. If she gave birth to a daughter, use this baby boy instead. , claiming that she gave birth to a little grandson, if she gave birth to a boy, then the baby boy and his family will be silenced by her."

"Stop talking!" Chu Shiling hugged Gu Ning's arm tightly in fright, "She is so cruel! How old is this child!"

The child was in the swaddling womb, only showing a wrinkled little face, and one could tell that it was not long after birth.

He couldn't stop crying, Gu Ning sighed slowly.

"Chunyu, take him back."

Chu Shiling's eyes widened: "You want to take him back? You are not afraid that others will say that you..."

"You can't just watch him die, can you?" Gu Ning asked, "Don't you have the heart to throw him here?"

Chu Shiling hesitated.

Naturally, she couldn't bear it, but if Gu Ning brought a child back, she was afraid that people would criticize her.

Gu Ning could see what she was thinking at a glance, reached out and knocked on her head: "Don't worry, I have a place to put him."

Gu Ning is also selfish. The existence of this child may be a bargaining chip for her.

Regardless of whether the plan is successful or not, she will keep the child first.

Chunyu has always obeyed Gu Ning's words, and immediately hugged the child in her arms: "Why don't you send him to Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, where someone can take care of him."

"Just do this, but never let him out of our sight." Gu Ning instructed, "He may be of great use in the future."

Chunyu nodded quickly: "This servant will definitely arrange these things."

Chu Shiling was full of admiration for Gu Ning: "You are really amazing!" You are willing to take over such a trouble.

Gu Ning smiled, she is not a kind person.

It's just this Mr. Zhuang...

Gu Ning's eyes are dark, it seems that he is indeed just a sour literati, he doesn't seem to be able to use poison at all, so who is the person who poisoned Xie Yan?
