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

Outside the Tai Chi Hall, the servants walked out slowly, no matter how well they maintained themselves, they couldn't hide the panic on their faces.

Behind them, a lifeless person in the clothes of a servant was carried out, and was thrown on the ground casually.

Seeing this scene, their bodies trembled, and they quickly lowered their heads again, not daring to cast another glance there.

Inside the hall, the atmosphere is also extremely calm.

The emperor's face was icy cold, and his eyes were staring at the secret letter in his hand.

The letter had been crushed into a ball by him, and the writing on it was blurred.

Yu Ao knelt on the cold floor with a dazed expression on his old wrinkled face.

After a long time, the emperor gritted his teeth and asked.

"Is this true?"

Yu Ao sighed deeply, but at the moment when the emperor saw it, he nodded and said in a low voice: "The shadow guards sent by the old slave have repeatedly checked in the south of the Yangtze River, this...the Lu family really has a rebellious heart! "

"A group of unfamiliar white-eyed wolves!" The emperor yelled, gnashing his teeth, "How dare they rebel! They must have got the news of the remnants of the deposed prince!"

Yu Ao knew very well that the so-called remnants of the abolition of the crown prince referred to Chu Jincheng, the crown prince of the previous dynasty.

Chu Jincheng was the most beloved son of the late emperor. He was crowned as the crown prince at birth. For decades, he was regarded as the future heir of the state of Chu. He was captured in Tai'anmen and was demoted to common people from then on. There were many doubts about the rebellion back then, but with his death, the truth was nowhere to be found.

But in the early years, there were rumors that the first concubine Xiao was pregnant, and when she was imprisoned in the East Palace, the child she gave birth was sent outside the palace.

For so many years, Yu Ao has only done one thing - track down the whereabouts of this child.

"Where is that man?" The emperor stared at Yu Ao with red eyes.

Anger surged in his heart, and his tone became sharper.

Under such coercion, bursts of cold sweat broke out from Yu Ao's back, soaking his back.

"The old slave is investigating." He said with difficulty, "The remnants of the abolished prince are hidden very deeply. If there is no change in the Lu family, the shadow guard may not have noticed his existence."

The emperor's face was extremely gloomy. Apart from anger, there was also a hint of uneasiness in his heart at this moment.

"Back then, the Eastern Palace was heavily guarded. Since they were able to hide from numerous screenings, there must be someone behind their backs to help!" His fists were clenched, and the seed of suspicion that had been buried in his heart for many years broke through the ground at this time. out.

"Who is it?" The emperor's angry voice recalled in the palace, "Who is colluding with the deposed prince? Send that evil person out of the palace?"

Yu Ao lowered his head and wanted to say something, but it turned into a vague explanation: "At the beginning there were not a few people who came and went to the East Palace. In the past ten years, this old slave has thoroughly investigated all suspects according to the emperor's order. , I really didn’t notice anything different.”

The emperor's tall figure bent down at this moment, and at this moment, his ferocious expression completely destroyed his elegant face.

"So what if they hide deep?" He grinned grimly, "As long as we follow the line of the Lu family, we will be able to follow the vines and uproot them!"

"Your majesty is wise!" Yu Ao said loudly, "This old servant has dispatched shadow guards, and will surely find out all the evils of the deposed prince!"

The emperor looked at him fixedly, and after a while he smiled gently: "Old Yu, you must not be careless about this matter I entrusted to you! A little carelessness..."

"This old slave will keep everything in mind!" Yu Ao replied quickly, sweating profusely.

……

Early morning two days later.

The rapid sound of iron hooves broke the tranquility of Jiangning Mansion.

"The original family was surrounded by soldiers!"

"I see it's still a soldier from the capital!"

"Which god did the Yuan family offend?"

Such a big movement is like throwing a zeolite in the peaceful market in the early morning.

Near the original home, most of them are wealthy families.

Seeing those majestic and mighty troops, trembling with fright, they hurried back home and reported the matter to their master.

At that time, there was panic in Yuan's house.

Before Yuan Chongshan woke up from his sleep, he was awakened by a burst of shouting and cursing.

He walked out of the bedroom in a daze, and saw Mrs. Yuan with her hair in a disheveled bun.

The old lady Yuan, who has always been dignified, even puts her hair in a neat bun even when she is asleep. The current appearance really makes Yuan Chongshan feel uneasy.

"Mother, what's the matter with you?"

Old Madam Yuan's face was gloomy. As soon as Yuan Chongshan approached, she slapped Yuan Chongshan's face fiercely, and cursed: "You bastard! I haven't asked you yet!"

She approached Yuan Chongshan, gritted her teeth and said, "Let me ask you! Did you destroy the letters and account books that I ordered you to destroy immediately?"

As soon as these words came out, most of Yuan Chongshan's drowsiness woke up.

On his forehead, cold sweat trickled down.

"The son thinks that Jiang Hui is a vicious person, and it's hard to guarantee that he won't play tricks behind his back, so he wants to keep some letters with his private seal in his hand, so that he won't betray him in the future." Yuan Chongshan murmured, "Those letters I put them all in a secret room and never see anyone."

With a "slap", another slap hit Yuan Chongshan's face.

Mrs. Yuan's eyes were cold and stern, her fingers were shaking with anger: "Yuan Chongshan! Our Yuan family's century-old foundation will be destroyed in your hands today!"

Before he finished speaking, a group of soldiers broke into the gate of the courtyard.

They were dressed in armor, and their eyes were all fierce from the sea of ​​blood and corpses.

"The Yuan family and Jiang Hui conspired to sell private salt, the crime should be punished!"

A majestic female voice sounded behind them.

The soldiers moved to the sides one after another, making way for an open road.

At the door, an old woman with silver hair, but still fine, walked out slowly with the support of Gu Ning.

It is the eldest princess!

At this moment, Yuan Chongshan understood the meaning of old lady Yuan's words. He looked terrified, and subconsciously grabbed old lady Yuan's sleeve: "Mother, what should I do?"

"The matter has come to an end." The old lady Yuan closed her eyes. At this moment, she seemed to be ten years old again. "Is there any way to save it?"

She was clearly about the same age as the Eldest Princess, but she was completely ashamed and extremely depressed.

She never expected that her family business, which she had painstakingly managed for decades, was destroyed because of her most beloved son!

"Old Madam Yuan, I never expected..." The eldest princess walked forward slowly, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, "The person who kept saying that he wanted to lay down a foundation that would not lose to the man of the Yuan family has been seen by all the prosperous people. Lost my eyes!"

"Selling private salt!" She sneered, "You can really do it!"

Gu Ning was speechless secretly. Hearing what the eldest princess said, it was clear that she and Mrs. Yuan were old acquaintances.

The old lady Yuan looked deeply at the eldest princess, with complicated emotions in her eyes, but finally returned to calm.

"You have a noble status, how can you understand the difficulties of us people?" Her old eyes were full of exhaustion, "If I don't cooperate with Jiang Hui, how can I make the Yuan family the richest man in Jiangning?"

"I thought you would understand." The eldest princess said solemnly, "You have also experienced the hardships of people's lives, and you know how difficult it is for them! But you understand..."

"What's wrong with me?" Mrs. Yuan interrupted her sharply, and said venomously, "Officials eat vegetarian food, and the price of official salt is high. The extra money not only failed to be sent to the treasury, but actually enriched them." Pockets! How do you think the hairpins on the heads of the ladies of the Jiang family came from? Aren’t they all the fat of the people?”

"Princess Dachang is jealous of evil, but she doesn't care about the Jiang family's evil deeds, she only knows how to pick us soft persimmons!" The old lady Yuan sneered, "If you really want to investigate illegal salt, you should arrest the Jiang family in the capital Yes! After all, we can only share [-]% of the profit from private salt, and the remaining [-]% will be sent to the Jiang family!"

"Mother!" Yuan Chongshan panicked, tugging on the old lady's sleeve, trying to stop her from speaking.

But the old lady Yuan threw her away and strode towards the eldest princess.

Seeing this, Gu Ning immediately stood in front of the Eldest Princess.

"It's you!" Seeing her, the old lady Yuan smiled miserably, "The assassin that day... was sent by you! You played a good show with them, making a big splash..."

"Okay!" Her expression suddenly became ferocious, and the creases between her brows were filled with killing intent.

Gu Ning thumped in her heart, and an ominous premonition spread in her heart.

Almost instantly, she firmly blocked the Eldest Princess with her body.

"careful!"

On the eaves, dozens of people who appeared out of nowhere unanimously drew their bows and arrows, aiming at Gu Ning and the Eldest Princess.

Only Madam Yuan's mournful voice sounded: "Even if it is death, I will drag you down to the endless hell!"

The rain of arrows shot towards them in a hurry, densely falling around them.

The soldiers protected Gu Ning and the eldest princess with their bodies, and Gu Ning's ears were full of the "boom" sound of the arrow tip hitting the armor.

She tried her best to protect the eldest princess, and wanted to lead her away from this dangerous place.

But at this moment, those killers hidden in the dark seized the right opportunity, cooperated tacitly with the killers on the eaves, and took advantage of the chaos to kill Gu Ning.

In order to keep the eldest princess, Gu Ning pushed her away forcefully.

Just when Gu Ning just clicked on the purchase option of Baoming Pill worth [-] luck points in the system mall.

Suddenly, her hands were firmly held by a pair of big hands.

She raised her head in surprise, and what she saw was a handsome face as cold as ice.

Xie Yan didn't say a word, he dragged her and walked out, the arrow rain was blocked by his sword one step away.

However, just one step away from the door, Gu Ning sharply saw an arrow passing through the cover of the soldiers through the gap and heading straight towards Xie Yan beside him.

"Not good!" My golden thighs!

Without even thinking about it, Gu Ning stood in front of Xie Yan.

Her last words were stuck in her mouth, and the piercing pain spread from her back to her whole body. When she opened her mouth, she only felt a fishy sweetness in her throat.

Before she fainted, there was only one thought in her mind.

I didn't expect this life-saving pill to be used by myself!
