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

Zheng Li still hadn't reacted, he frowned, and after a long time said in a deep voice: "Is this true?"

"It's absolutely true!" Yancao cried with two lines of tears on her face, "The maidservant was outside at the time, and she heard it clearly! The Crown Princess threatened the empress, and the empress had no choice but to agree to her!"

"I don't want to drag you down, I don't want my servant to tell you about this matter, but my servant... I can't bear to see my maidservant being controlled by that vicious woman, the Crown Princess, so I can only come to you!"

After saying that, Yancao knelt on the ground: "General, save your mother!"

Zheng Li stood where he was, Yancao's words threw his brain into chaos.

On one side is General Pei, who is so kind to him, and on the other side is the woman he loves so much...

Zheng Li clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were red: "I'll kill her!"

"No!" Yancao shook her head hastily, "The reason why the empress agreed to her is because she doesn't want to involve you! Not to mention that the Crown Princess has expert protection around her, you can't kill her at all! Even if you can kill her, the Crown Princess If you have such a scheming plan, you will definitely have someone behind you! By then, you and your empress will really have nowhere to go!"

Yancao's desperate tone pulled Zheng Li back to his rationality.

Zheng Li gritted his teeth with a gloomy face and said, "Are we going to just watch her use Your Majesty as a tool and push Your Majesty into the abyss step by step?"

After all, he is a forbidden soldier who has been in the palace for so many years, Zheng Li will not fail to see Gu Qingqiu's character: "Even if the empress has done this for her, she will never spare the empress's life!"

"The empress is the emperor's woman. If you want to leave the harem, it's like going to heaven! Unless... unless it's a different emperor!" Zheng Li's eyes suddenly brightened astonishingly when he said this.

Just as Yancao breathed a sigh of relief, she became uneasy again because of Zheng Li's appearance.

"General, you must not be impulsive!" Yancao firmly stopped him, "There is still a month, you still have time to think carefully..."

"It's too late." Zheng Li shook his head slowly, and under Yancao's gaze, he said slowly, "The only way now is to find General Pei."

He closed his eyes and said in a low voice: "I believe that General Pei will have a solution!"

Yancao froze in place: "General Pei? Will he help you? You and your empress are..."

It's not that Yancao is pessimistic, but that as long as he is a smart person, he will never help Zheng Li, let alone someone like General Pei?What is there in Zheng Li that is worth his rescue at the risk of being rejected by the emperor?

However, under Yancao's suspicious eyes, Zheng Li smiled lightly and shook his head: "I have a solution, as long as I raise this condition, the general will definitely help me!"

After speaking, he looked at Yancao solemnly, and said word by word: "Take care of your mother! Wait for me to come back!"

With tears in her eyes, Yancao looked at his back as he walked away quickly, feeling uneasy in her heart.

This imperial city is like a man-eating abyss, swallowing them all, and there is no way to break free!

……

When Zheng Li came to the prison, the eyes of everyone in the Jiang family lit up.

The same was true for Jiang Taifu, but when he saw that Zheng Li was alone, the light in his eyes gradually faded, and he knew that his death might be imminent.

Jiang Qian, who was on the side, saw his expression, and his heart sank to the bottom.

"Jiang Taifu, please." Zheng Li bowed to Jiang Taifu, and behind him came the imperial guards who stepped forward and opened the door of the cell.

Seeing this, the Jiang family woke up like a dream.

"I want to see the Queen Mother!" Mrs. Jiang said with gritted teeth while grabbing two railings, "I want to see the Queen Mother! I am her mother! I want to see her!"

There was no trace of pity in Zheng Li's eyes. After knowing that this kind-looking old lady had more than a dozen lives on her hands, no one would show any pity for her.

"This is the order of the emperor." Zheng Lidao, "The emperor has an order. The Jiang family's collusion with the enemy and treason is an unforgivable crime. Nian has also made great contributions to the Jiang family. The emperor pardoned your entire body."

Hearing this, Mrs. Jiang, who had a ferocious expression, was even more mad: "Okay, okay! Okay, okay!"

She kept repeating the words, her eyes filled with deep-seated hatred: "After using our Jiang family, kick our Jiang family away! Has he forgotten who helped him win the world back then?"

"Sure enough! You shouldn't believe in this bastard who killed his father and brother!"

Mrs. Jiang has already fallen into a madness. Even if Jiang Taifu around her keeps scolding her, she still scolds the emperor endlessly, and she is bound to tell all the emperor's actions that she has known for so many years.

At this point, Zheng Li understood why the emperor repeatedly ordered them to come to the prison to secretly execute the Jiang family.

If these secrets are exposed, the emperor will probably be accused by thousands of people...

The complexions of the forbidden soldiers were not very good-looking, who among them martial arts practitioners didn't know the name of the late emperor?The sixteen prefectures of Yanbei back then were brought down by the first emperor with General Pei. If the emperor hadn't been incompetent, the sixteen prefectures of Yanbei occupied by the Xiongnu should have been their territory of Chu!

After hearing these secrets from Mrs. Jiang's mouth, their expressions were different.

In the end, the secret cell was at peace.

All the members of the Jiang family collapsed to the ground, their bodies were stiff and they could no longer breathe.

Zheng Li wiped the blood off the knife and walked out slowly.

Seeing his calm back, several imperial guards looked at each other and immediately followed.

Wang Er has the best relationship with Zheng Li. At this time, with a pale face, he whispered: "When we go back, will we be directly..."

He made a gesture of wiping his neck at Zheng Li.

Hearing this, Zheng Li shook his head after hesitating for a moment: "In addition to killing people to silence them, there is another thing waiting for us."

Under Wang Er's gaze, Zheng Li said slowly: "Become the emperor's confidant."

In an instant, Wang Er understood everything: "Like the shadow guard back then?"

But when it comes to the shadow guards, Wang Er felt a chill behind him: "How much the emperor trusted the shadow guards back then! All of them have their eyes high above the top, and they look down on us forbidden soldiers, but in the end, it was decided by the emperor's words." Live or die?"

"If you don't become the emperor's confidant, then your life and death will be determined by the emperor." Zheng Li said slowly.

Wang Er was taken aback, and he scratched his head: "It's not that I'm not afraid of death, I just feel... I feel a little afraid of the emperor."

A person who can kill his father and brother, who can execute all the shadow guards who have followed him for many years, will one day turn his butcher knife on their new confidants.

Zheng Li glanced at Wang Er, his eyes were full of deep meaning: "No matter what, let's take a step first."

Wang Eryi heard the same thing, and nodded: "What you said still makes some sense. Since you don't know how it will end, let's take one step at a time. What if we are lucky enough to survive the emperor's hands?"

He deliberately said these relaxing words, but in the eyes of other people who are familiar with his temperament, his face is almost stiff at this time, and even a smile is uglier than a cry.

Walking out of the dungeon, the hot sun shone on their bodies, and several people felt a little warmth.

Wang Er heaved a sigh of relief: "We came out alive. It seems that what you said, General, is exactly what you said. The emperor really wants to train us as confidantes!"

Zheng Li took a few steps forward at this time, and said to Wang Er: "I still have some things to do, you should return to the palace first."

Wang Er waved his hands when he heard the words: "Go, go."

He and Zheng Li joined the Forbidden Army together, and the relationship between them is no different than that of others. They are much closer. To Zheng Li, Wang Er often does not have the self-consciousness as a subordinate.

And Zheng Li would not be angry because of his actions. After receiving Wang Er's accurate answer, he strode towards the street outside.

Wang Er met the puzzled eyes of the people behind him, and said with a smile: "What are you looking at? If you have a good friend in the future, you will miss seeing her after the life-and-death crisis!"

Everyone understood and nodded.

In their eyes, it was Zheng Li who was going to meet his friend, and after turning around, he climbed into the wall of Pei's house.

As expected, he was surrounded by several guards as soon as he climbed into the wall of Pei's house.

The guards of the Pei family were carefully trained by the Pei family. Apart from turning a blind eye to the county magistrate who climbed over the wall to find his sweetheart, even if a bird flew into the Pei family, they would be aware of it, let alone Zheng Li. A big living person.

Zheng Li threw the knife on the ground and raised his hands: "I want to see General Pei, I have something important to report to General Pei!"

Although he knew Zheng Li, the leader still didn't let go: "You keep an eye on him here, I'll go find the general!"

Seeing that this person was about to leave, Zheng Li said loudly: "Be sure to tell the general, this is a major matter related to the life of Changning County Lord!"

Hearing this, the guards moved even faster.

Pei Anlin was in the study room, he was listening to the lessons of General Pei and the eldest princess, but when he heard the guard tell the story, a puzzled look appeared on his face.

"Zheng Li?" After hearing the name, the Eldest Princess' eyes flickered, and she said calmly, "Isn't this the Forbidden Army who had an affair with Concubine Chen?"

Pei Anlin was taken aback: "It turned out to be him?"

"Yes." The Eldest Princess nodded, "I didn't expect that at the beginning, after all, the emperor valued him, and he was only in his twenties, so the emperor wanted him to be the deputy commander."

"It seems that there is really a shortage of people around the emperor."

When the eldest princess said this, she smiled sarcastically.

Pei Anlin frowned: "It's about Ning'er, we still have to meet up."

"Go." The Eldest Princess waved her hand, "In my opinion, he is probably looking for you just because of the matter with Concubine Chen."

Pei Anlin looked a little unnatural, and muttered: "What does their affair have to do with Ning'er?"

When he spoke, he had already stepped out of the study door.

Zheng Li waited anxiously. Seeing that it was getting late, if he didn't go back, he might be noticed.

Fortunately, under his long-awaited expectation, Pei Anlin's figure finally appeared.

"General!" Zheng Li was about to step forward excitedly.

But the dozen or so swords of the guards were all facing him at this moment, and the sharp tips of the swords glowed coldly, which made him stop immediately.
