Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder Survival Manual: Saving the Villain

After a dizzy spell.

When Shen Yingjin opened her eyes again, she found herself sitting on the edge of a table with her chin resting on her hand, and the ink from the brush in her hand had smudged onto the paper.

He lowered his eyes and looked.

On it was written in a flourish of dragon and phoenix handwriting: "Brother Zhang, personally write: I have absolutely no feelings for the Third Princess, what is the solution to this situation?"

The word "解" at the end was smudged by the ink and only half of it could be seen.

Shen Yingjin lowered her eyes and stared at the note for a long time, then picked up the note and threw it into the brazier next to her without hesitation.

"Little fool, who is this third princess? Do I have any emotional entanglement this time?" Shen Yingjin frowned. He didn't want Yu Feng to be sad when he knew about it in the future.

After hearing this, Hansha immediately said, "Don't worry, young master, the third princess is the villain."

After saying that, he transferred his memories and the original plot line to him.

Shen Yingjin's current body is that of the prime minister, second only to the emperor and above everyone else, with power omnipresent in the court.

In order to curb the power of the prime minister, the emperor promoted Zhang Xingyuan, the top scorer in the imperial examination two years ago, and made him the prince's tutor. He held a respected position and his power in the court in the past two years was no less than that of the prime minister.

Shen Yingjin and Zhang Xingyuan were at loggerheads in the court, but few people knew that they were actually good friends in private.

But this is only on the surface.

In fact, Zhang Xingyuan didn’t think so in his heart. He had always been using Shen Yingjin.

Many years ago, before he became the Grand Tutor, he set up a plan to meet Shen Yingjin by chance, making Shen Yingjin think that Zhang Xingyuan was an upright gentleman with great ambitions.

Zhang Xingyuan did succeed.

It turned out that Shen Yingjin trusted Zhang Xingyuan very much, and even regarded him as a confidant. She was never on guard against him, and often generously taught him how to gain a foothold in the court in private, and also introduced him to some relationships.

But Zhang Xingyuan was not satisfied with this. At the beginning of this year, Zhang Xingyuan secretly submitted a memorial to the emperor, suggesting that the emperor marry the unpopular third princess to Shen Yingjin in order to restrain him.

The emperor thought this was a good idea and decisively issued an edict to grant the marriage.

After all, the title of princess represents the royal family, and Shen Yingjin is equivalent to becoming the princess's consort. In order to humiliate him, the emperor even spent money to build a Third Princess's Mansion for the Third Princess, which was gorgeously decorated, as if he doted on the Third Princess very much.

In fact, when the third princess was a child, her mother died early in the competition for favor in the harem. She grew up in the cold palace and it was not easy for her to grow up to this day while being bullied.

After receiving the imperial decree granting her marriage, Shen Yingjin was filled with depression and had no place to vent. During that period, she often went to Zhang Xingyuan for drinks. Zhang Xingyuan intentionally or unintentionally let Shen Yingjin ignore the third princess.

So after Shen Yingjin and the third princess got married, although Shen Yingjin moved into the third princess's mansion, she never consummated the marriage with the third princess, and even deliberately avoided meeting him during the day.

From the original plot line, we can know that the third princess is actually a man named Chu Yufeng.

Since his mother was a princess sent from the Western Regions to marry a foreign prince, she used various means to leave him a forbidden drug that could maintain his female body, but it could only last until he was eighteen years old. After that, everything depended on himself.

If discovered by the emperor, it would be a capital crime.

The reason why she has to maintain her female body is because the harem is a cannibalistic harem.

If it is a princess, it is fine for everyone to bully her, and there are rarely any threats to her life. But if it is a prince, if he is not favored, the ending is usually very tragic.

Before her death, Chu Yufeng's mother left a will, asking Chu Yufeng to ascend the throne, which fulfilled their wishes while they were struggling in the cold palace.

As the third princess, Chu Yufeng is a well-known leftover woman in the entire Dayong Dynasty. The emperor is too lazy to use her even for the sake of appearances.

Fortunately, the emperor didn't like him, otherwise, if someone close to him was around, it would have been easy for them to discover that he was a man.

When Chu Yufeng was eighteen years old, the emperor arranged his marriage with Shen Yingjin. Shen Yingjin had no interest in him and did not touch him, which was what Chu Yufeng wanted.

But, there are always those who are short-sighted, and that person is Zhang Xingyuan.

On the night of their wedding, Zhang Xingyuan received a pigeon message from Shen Yingjin, in which he learned that Shen Yingjin had no interest in the third princess and had no intention of touching her at all, so he planned to take advantage of this matter.

Before Shen Yingjin married the third princess, Zhang Xingyuan sent his most favored male concubine, Qiu Ming, who was a former geisha, to Shen Yingjin.

Shen Yingjin was undoubtedly a beauty, but since it was a gift from Zhang Xingyuan, he did not refuse it. He just kept Qiu Ming by his side, treating him as an invisible person and providing him with good food and drink.

During that period, the Minister of Justice Mou Xin inadvertently learned about some of the little tricks Zhang Xingyuan did in private.

He had a good personal relationship with Shen Yingjin, so he came to visit secretly at night and told Shen Yingjin about this matter, asking Shen Yingjin to be careful about Zhang Xingyuan.

But Shen Yingjin didn't believe it, and they had a big fight, which led to Mou Xin breaking off relations with him.

On the night of Shen Yingjin and the third princess' wedding, Zhang Xingyuan took advantage of the fact that there were not many guards left in the third princess's mansion and ordered Qiu Ming in the mansion to drug the third princess.

Then he sent a few burly men to destroy the Third Princess's innocence, making her suspect that Shen Yingjin was the one who did it, and thus hate Shen Yingjin and create more trouble for Shen Yingjin in the backyard.

Of course, since Chu Yufeng is a villain, he turned evil early due to his childhood experiences. He got in touch with his mother's old subordinates from the Western Regions when he was just a teenager, and has been developing secretly over the years.

Behind the scenes, the Vice Minister of Revenue, the Minister of Works, the Vice Minister of Rites, and some minor officials were all promoted with the help of him and his old subordinates from the Western Regions.

Naturally, these people were all grateful for Chu Yufeng's kindness and were secretly helping Chu Yufeng develop his power.

So as a powerful villain, Zhang Xingyuan's plan to drug the girl naturally failed, but the third princess decided to take advantage of the situation.

He sent people to control the families of these burly men, and then threatened them to tell Zhang Xingyuan that they had accomplished the task.

Zhang Xingyuan actually believed it.

About a year after Shen Yingjin and the third princess got married, the royal family held an autumn hunting event, and all the powerful ministers in the court had to participate.

Mou Xin was a hot-tempered person, and Shen Yingjin didn't listen to his advice, but he really treated Shen Yingjin as a friend. During the hunting session, he found an opportunity to persuade her again, but Shen Yingjin seemed to have been under a spell and just wouldn't listen.

Mou Xin had no choice but to let the matter go.

During this hunting trip, Zhang Xingyuan set a trap for Shen Yingjin, which was actually a strategy he came up with to help the second prince win the throne. Even if this plan failed, it would not affect them in the end.
