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

It is a matter of great importance to our state of Chu.

Master Huang silently said something in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.

His appearance fell into the eyes of Mr. Xu, which made Mr. Xu even more angry: "I told you everything, even the secret of Bai Ri Shao, and you still have something to hide from me?"

My intuition told Mr. Xu that it must be a very important matter!

It was precisely because he sensed the urgency of this matter that he pursued it relentlessly.

Hearing this, Lord Huang sighed: "Brother Xu, it's not that I concealed it on purpose, it's really a matter of great importance, and one less person who knows about it will reduce the risk. Do you want the entire Xu family and you to be in danger? "

"My family's population is small. If the emperor finds out about this matter, I'm afraid it's only our Huang family who will be implicated. My father-in-law is far away in the south of the Yangtze River. After hearing about this matter, he can also leave Chu State. But you have hundreds of members in the capital. , with the emperor's order, [-] forbidden troops can crush your Xu family, if I told you about this, wouldn't it be harming you?"

More importantly, Master Huang didn't trust Master Xu that much.

He was loyal to the first emperor and wholeheartedly devoted to the state of Chu, but the aristocratic family was not.

Even though Mr. Xu is also loyal to the state of Chu, he is bound by his family and cannot do things as he wants.

Thinking of this, Lord Huang sighed again.

Master Xu's face was livid, and he stared at Master Huang several times: "You really don't want to say anything?"

"It's not that I won't say it, but I can't say it!" Master Huang sighed.

Master Xu snorted coldly: "Then come to me when you want to talk! We don't have to meet each other these few days!"

After saying that, Master Xu left with a flick of his sleeves, with anger in his steps.

Master Huang's eyes were dim, and after much deliberation, he let the carriage go to Pei's residence.

By investigating the assassin's whereabouts on the day of the emperor's birthday banquet, he walked into the gate of Pei's mansion openly and justly.

Seeing him, Pei Anlin was a little surprised.

"Why is Master Huang here today?"

"I haven't figured out some things. I came here today to ask General Pei for advice." Master Huang made a bow, and sat down opposite Pei Anlin.

He didn't have much smile on his face, just staring at Pei Anlin just like that made the bewildered Pei Anlin even more confused.

At this moment, the maid outside the door said: "The eldest princess is here."

Master Huang was waiting for the Eldest Princess. As soon as he heard the maid's words, his eyes changed, and he immediately stood up, moving faster than Pei Anlin, and walked directly to the Eldest Princess.

"See Eldest Princess."

Master Huang bowed respectfully to the Eldest Princess.

Seeing him like this, the Eldest Princess had complicated eyes.

Pei Anlin frowned, trying to see something from the atmosphere of the two of them.

However, before he could think carefully, he heard the chilly voice of the eldest princess in the front hall: "Master Huang, you are here today, but for the emperor?"

"It's not for the emperor." Master Huang shook his head, "The purpose of coming here this time is for the future of Chu!"

"May I ask the eldest princess, is Chen Daochang related to you?"

Lord Huang's last words were said in a low voice.

Before the Eldest Princess could answer, Pei Anlin's eyes widened in disbelief. His hands were really on the hilt of his sword, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

However, the Eldest Princess gently raised her hand to stop his movements.

There was a smile in Princess Dachang's eyes, and she stared at Master Huang steadfastly: "It happens that I also have a question, and I want to hear Master Huang's answer."

"Master Huang is loyal to the late emperor who supported you, or... the current emperor?"

"What's the difference?" Master Huang asked back, "The emperor is the successor of the late emperor, and the subordinate officials who are loyal to the emperor are loyal to the late emperor."

"But what if he isn't?" Princess Dachang also asked, "How should Master Huang choose?"

As soon as these words came out, Master Huang's eyes froze instantly.

His lips parted, and there was a look of astonishment and panic in his eyes.

"What do you mean by the Eldest Princess?" He licked his dry lips, and his voice became weak.

The eldest princess smiled: "It literally means, if the current emperor is not the heir chosen by the late emperor, are you loyal to the heir chosen by the late emperor, or are you loyal to the current emperor?"

Master Huang's brain stopped spinning completely, and he inevitably thought of the Qichen Change that the emperor avoided.

On the day of Qichen's change, the prince rebelled with his army, and the emperor turned the tide at a critical juncture and rescued the late emperor. However, the late emperor had been deeply poisoned and passed the throne to the current emperor before he died.

His eyes turned slowly, and he looked at the eldest princess: "Is there really something hidden about the change of Qichen back then?"

Under his gaze, the Eldest Princess nodded slowly.

Seeing this, Master Huang stumbled back, he couldn't believe what he saw.

"Then why didn't you tell me?" Thinking of this, Master Huang's eyes became ferocious, and he stared at the eldest princess and Pei Anlin, "Why did you only tell the truth until today?"

In fact, back then, some people suspected that the Qichen Change was planned by the emperor alone.

But the emperor has already ascended the throne, even if he has doubts, what can he do?

Master Huang's eyes were full of disbelief: "Eldest Princess, you must know what you are talking about! This is no joke!"

"Of course I know." The Eldest Princess spoke slowly and calmly, "Didn't Master Huang also guess it? Our Pei family...is doing things for the heir that the late emperor truly approved."

Hearing this, Master Huang was momentarily speechless.

He had indeed guessed a clue, and it was precisely because of his guess that he came to ask Pei Anlin.

But what he didn't expect was that the first time he came to Pei's house, the eldest princess took the initiative to tell the secret about this matter.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"Eldest Princess, the real heir you mentioned...is..."

"It's the orphan of the former prince." The eldest princess replied decisively, "You are a smart person, and you must be able to guess the ruthless methods of the current emperor during the Qichen change. It was too late when I realized his intentions back then. In time, the orphan of the late prince was rescued in a hurry."

Lord Huang rolled his eyes, and his pupils constricted suddenly: "Could it be that the prince's orphan is... a thank you banquet!"

As the Eldest Princess said, he is a smart man, and it is precisely because he is a smart man that he guessed Xie Yan.

Just imagine, if it was really a guard, would the eldest princess be willing to marry her most beloved granddaughter to him?

The Eldest Princess didn't answer, but Master Huang had already thought of many things at this moment.

He closed his eyes and murmured: "I mean... I said how could he be so familiar, his behavior and style reminded me of a person, so he is the prince's child!"

"Master Huang, since you know the secret, there are only two paths you can choose." The eldest princess interrupted his muttering, and said in a deep voice, "Either, I will give you a glass of poisoned wine." Go on the road, or...you will be loyal to the late emperor as you swore at the beginning! Allegiance to the state of Chu!"

"The current emperor is one of the murderers who poisoned the late emperor. If you are sincerely loyal to the late emperor, you must not..."

"I am Huang Litian! I only serve the late emperor in this life!" Master Huang gritted his teeth and said, "The late emperor treated me with great kindness, and the late crown prince helped me many times. I will never betray them!"

He spoke out what was buried in his heart, his eyes were firm, no matter what kind of expression the Eldest Princess looked at him, he was always the same.

After a while, the eldest princess nodded slightly: "With Master Huang's words, I feel relieved."

"Since you have entered the gate of our Pei family today, the emperor must have received the news. The reason you gave will not be convinced by the emperor." The eldest princess reminded, "In the eyes of the emperor now, you I am a grasshopper on the same rope, if something happens to our Pei family, your Huang family will never escape."

"And your Yue family who is far away in the south of the Yangtze River..." The eldest princess did not finish her sentence, but it was enough for Master Huang to understand her threat.

Master Huang's expression was serious, and he said seriously: "Don't worry, the eldest princess, since I have promised you, I will never destroy the covenant between you and me!"

"Master Huang's character, of course, I can trust." The eldest princess nodded, "But I still want to remind you, everything is done with secrets..."

"I understand!" Master Huang said in a deep voice, "I will not reveal this matter to anyone!"

……

In the imperial city at this time.

Gu Ning propped his chin, saw that the sky was bright, he stood up, and said to Xie Yan: "Today I have to accompany Chu Shiling to serve Concubine Chen."

"If you have something to do, go back first."

Her intention to dismiss Xie Yan was very obvious, and it was so brightly displayed on her face.

But Xie Yan couldn't see through her small thoughts, and could only nod helplessly under her gaze: "It is true that there are still things to do, and today I have to report to the emperor about the movements in the capital in recent days."

Hearing this, Gu Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

What she was going to do next, it was better to keep it a secret from Xie Yan, otherwise it would be bad if she was treated as a monster.

Thinking of this, she showed a bright smile at Xie Yan: "Then I'll go to Chu Shiling first."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of this small room, he heard a commotion outside the hall.

The voice seemed to come from the side hall where Chu Shiling lived.

Gu Ning's heart tightened, and he immediately carried the skirt to the side hall.

On the open space outside the side hall, Chu Shiling raised his chin, and raised his eyebrows coldly at Mo Liyu in front of him: "What? You still want to punish the crime of the princess? The princess has not punished you for the crime of disrespect! "

Among the noble ladies living in the side hall, Chu Shiling has the highest status. Ordinary noble ladies do have to salute when they see her.

When Mo Liyu heard this, the expression on her face became more and more ugly: "Why do you have to salute? Now we are all the same people in the palace! No matter how noble you are? Are you going to enter the palace?"

The noble ladies who entered the palace this time are all left to the emperor to choose and choose. Who is more noble than whom?

Mo Liyu has always been proud of her appearance. She knew that her family also wanted to use her to become the emperor's favorite family, so she tried her best as soon as she entered the palace. Who knew that the emperor's eyes would stay more on Chu Shiling.

When she saw Chu Shiling today, she couldn't help feeling sour in her heart, and she laughed at Chu Shiling.

Mo Liyu thought that Chu Shiling was helpless in the capital, so she didn't dare to argue with herself, but who knew that Chu Shiling didn't play cards according to common sense, just after she said this, what she faced was Chu Shiling's ruthless attack. hand.

"Today's slap, I'll teach you what the rules are!" Chu Shiling sneered, "I came to the palace to accompany Concubine Chen to relieve boredom, but it's not like you, holding such dirty thoughts!"

Chu Shiling showed sarcasm, and brought the thought in Mo Liyu's heart to the surface.

Mo Liyu's face was flushed red, but her every move was very ostentatious, anyone could guess her purpose, and for a while, she couldn't find any words to refute.

After scolding Mo Liyu, Chu Shiling raised her eyes and saw Gu Ning.

However, Gu Ning stood outside the crowd, blinked at her, raised his hands, and pointed to the hidden pocket in his sleeve.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Shiling got in touch with the medicine powder that she had packed in a secret bag.

With the rare tacit understanding established with Gu Ning, she secretly sprinkled the medicinal powder on Mo Liyu's body.

Mo Liyu was so angry that she didn't even notice that some colorless and odorless medicinal powder had been stained on her clothes.

After scolding Mo Liyu away, Chu Shiling walked quickly to Gu Ning.

"What did you mean just now?"

"Well done."

Gu Ning secretly winked at Chu Shiling.

Hearing this, Chu Shiling was complacent for a while, but then cheered up again: "Why did you sprinkle the medicinal powder on Mo Liyu's body?"
