Quick Wear: Female Supporting Role

Chapter 183 Extra 1

"You little bastard, you actually lied." Inside the room, Mei Zi angrily grabbed Lin Chen's ear and kept nagging.

As soon as he was freed, Chen'er ran away immediately, nimbly avoiding the people chasing behind him. Sitting on the tree, he looked down and saw that everyone was surrounding him.

"Come down," Mei Nianqing said unhappily, "Godmother won't beat you anymore."

Chen'er sat on a branch and stuck out his tongue, "lululu".

After half an hour of tossing and turning, Mei Nianqing ordered people to guard under the tree. She went to find Ning Shujun. This boy was naughty and she was also scared. Ah Fei had been guarding for a whole day and night, so he must not have recovered.

He saw Ning Shujun alone in the study with a dazed look on her face. Mei Nianqing went forward, but "A Fei" discovered that Ning Shujun had been staring at a painting in a daze.

"A Fei" Mei Nianqing called again.

Ning Shujun finally came back to her senses and smiled softly at Mei Nianqing. There was a hint of fatigue between her brows. "Meizi..."

The two held hands, and Mei Nianqing asked with concern: "Why don't you go to rest?"

“Not sleepy”

Mei Zi blamed herself a little, "I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of Chen'er"

"I should be the one to thank you. You have taken great efforts in taking care of Chen'er." After all, Chen'er was raised by Meizi most of his growing up life.

"That's right." Mei Nianqing smiled and said, "It's okay if he makes trouble normally, but this time he went too far and fell into a coma. Not only did I worry about you for several days, but you didn't get a good rest either. When you woke up, you jumped up and down like a monkey, and you didn't stop..."

Once the conversation started, Mei Zi talked incessantly, while Ning Shujun listened quietly at the side, smiling softly.

At night the moonlight pours down, lighting up the streets.

Outside a villa of Censor Cheng's family, Yun Jin, the second young lady of the Cheng family, climbed over the wall holding the corner of her skirt. She had just climbed out of the wall and stuck her head out.

"What are you doing?" A man in a black robe was standing on the wall, with his arms folded and a long sword in his arms, admiring the scene in front of him.

Cheng Yunjin pouted and asked, "How long have you been here?"

"Not long, just you climbed up." Then he pulled the person lying on the wall up.

Because she was stepping on empty air and felt insecure, Cheng Yunjin subconsciously hugged the man's waist, her heart pounding. She looked down from above and felt a little dizzy, "It's so high."

“Then you still climb?”

"Of course it's because I want to see you earlier." After saying this, the man stopped talking.

Seeing this, he stopped talking again, like a piece of wood. Cheng Yunjin pouted and said angrily, "Stupid wood, why did you come just now?"

"I came to say goodbye to you," the man said, "I will remember your life-saving grace. If I need you in the future, I will definitely die a thousand times to repay you, and also..."

Cheng Yunjin didn't wait for him to finish and kept hitting him, her voice hoarse, "I don't want it, I don't want you to leave. We were fine in the valley before, why are you pushing me away now?" Cheng Yunjin kept crying, burying her head in his arms and sobbing softly.

After a long time, the voice said coldly, "When you've cried enough, I'll send you back."

Cheng Yunjin shook her head, "How can you bear to let me enter the palace?"

Cheng Yunjin was originally the daughter of a local official. Due to family circumstances, her mother sent her to her uncle's house for upbringing. This time, she was allowed to enter the palace for selection after her family had requested it many times, but she was unwilling.

She angrily hit the man, and the man suddenly clamped her hands and made a gesture to silence her.

Cheng Yunjin then stopped and the two hid. Noticing the approaching person holding a lamp, he looked around in confusion, and a sound of insects chirped.

After a while, the man left, and Cheng Yunjin pressed against the man's chest, grabbing the corner of his clothes.

In the end, she was still rejected. She was very angry and entered the palace for selection.

She has been in the palace for ten days now. She originally thought that she could just do whatever she wanted and not be elected, but now there has been no movement and she is alone, leaning against a pillar, bored.

She had time to rest these few days, but she was also scolded by her elder sister Cheng Huajin. Originally, this talent show had nothing to do with her. She wanted to ask Princess Shujun to be her teacher. Princess Shujun asked her to go to the Medicine King Valley in Tanyou. If she asked for the permission of the divine doctor and accepted the divine doctor's teaching, she would teach herself.

As a result, she prayed for two years, and later she was still a little medicine boy. Every day before dawn, she carried a basket on her back and could not go back until it was full.

Later, a man was rescued. He was covered in blood and dying. Cheng Yunjin thought that doctors should be kind-hearted, even though she didn't know all the herbs. She took the man back and took good care of him.

But later, the man wanted to repay her for saving her life, but she said straightforwardly, "Then I will repay you with my body."

It was just a joke in the beginning. It just so happened that the miracle doctor had repeatedly scolded her for fooling around. The miracle doctor had a strange temper, but after getting along with her for a while, although he disdained her, he just treated her like an elder.

That day she heard that the man named Gu Quan had agreed. From then on, when she went up the mountain to collect herbs, the man followed her and helped her carry the backpack. The two of them got along more and more naturally.

She wanted to go home and tell her father about this, but her father asked Cheng Yunjin to participate in the draft to pave the way for her two younger brothers. He also vowed: "This is for your own good." The corners of her mouth were bitter. He also said the same thing when he abandoned her. If it weren't for her uncle's family treating her well.

Cheng Yunjin was reluctant, but she didn't expect that Gu Quan would be injured again when he appeared, so she hurriedly bandaged Gu Quan's wound.

Cheng Yunjin had always known Gu Quan's identity and had been secretly carrying out assassination missions, risking his life. Now even he had given up.

Now that Cheng Yunjin has entered the palace, she is still thinking about things outside the palace walls. After entering the palace, she still follows her temper, and it is her sister Cheng Huajin who covers her in front.

She had been out a few days ago, and now she was a little maid, but it was still a foregone conclusion.

There was a cold breeze at night. Cheng Yunjin took a deep breath and took out a short knife from his sleeve. The scabbard was plain, but the blade was sharp and shone silver under the moonlight.

Just as she was hesitating to throw it away, she heard a noise not far away, and someone shouted, "There's an assassin!"

Unfortunately, she became the assassin. After being caught, Cheng Yunjin kept shouting that they had caught the wrong person.

However, the evidence was irrefutable, so Cheng Yunjin was arrested and locked up in a remote place to await her fate. All the palace maids here were seriously ill or dying.

Arriving at this deserted place, Cheng Yunjin leaned against the door, not knowing what to do. People who had stayed here for a long time walked slowly, and some fell into a deep sleep and seemed not to have moved.

After staying there all night, Cheng Yunjin didn't dare to move forward. She leaned against the wall and shivered. She couldn't help but secretly curse herself for being stupid and acting without thinking.

When she woke up the next day, she had caught a cold and was burning with fever. Cheng Yunjin forced herself to get up, touched her hungry stomach, and looked around with grievance. A rotten smell came from her, and she covered her nose.

Seeing a person lying on a bundle of firewood, Cheng Yunjin asked: "Hello?"

When she learned that the person was dead, Cheng Yunjin was so scared that she covered her mouth and quickly stepped back. At this moment, the fear in her heart overshadowed the discomfort in her body, and her tears flowed out.

A woman on a haystack not far away, who looked to be in her thirties or forties, with a sallow complexion, thin body, and hollow eyes, felt sad when she saw Cheng Yunjin's appearance. She looked up at Cheng Yunjin and asked, "How long have you been in the palace, young lady?"

"ten days"

Just ten days here and my best youth is ruined.

"What a pity that he has to come here at such a young age," others lamented.

Soon after, the man who fell on the firewood pile was carried out, and Cheng Yunjin was also dragged out.

"Intent to assassinate, the crime is serious"

Various torture instruments were hung on the wall. It was the first time that Cheng Yunjin had seen such a scene. She was weak and fainted when she saw the tongs were about to come up.

"Splash her to wake her up"

There were several noises in the dark, and all the palace people present fainted on the ground. A man jumped down from a high place, quickly came to Cheng Yunjin, and then disappeared on the spot with his men.

On the other side of the palace, Ning Shujun rolled her eyes at Ning Xuan. She had taken great pains to select twelve women from official families with distinguished backgrounds, but the result was to see Ning Xuan's perfunctory attitude.

Ning Shujun suppressed her displeasure and said, "Your Majesty, the whole court and the country are looking forward to your appointment as the Empress soon. You can choose one that suits your heart from among these people."

But Ning Xuan likes women like Ziying who are cool and aloof, and now his mind is all on Ziying. He randomly picked someone to set up the harem, and then he always said, "It's all up to the emperor sister."

"I'll make the decision." Ning Shujun was quite helpless. She didn't have the time to waste, so she chose three daughters of high-ranking officials as concubines, and the rest were honorary ladies.

"Royal sister, why haven't I seen Sister A Zi come into the palace with you in recent days?"

Ning Shujun smiled and replied, "She is too stupid. I am still training her. When she learns the etiquette, I will bring her here."

“Don’t be too harsh on her”

In the past few days, I have tried to find out more about Ziying in a roundabout way, but there has been no progress. Now I ask Ning Shujun directly, and she often uses this as an excuse.

"That won't do. She is my person. If I am not polite, I will be the one laughed at by others." Ning Shujun said, "Now that the Empress has been decided and needs to be canonized, Your Majesty should pay more attention to the harem so as not to neglect the Empress and other concubines."
