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

Pei Anyang walked into the inner courtyard with a cold face.

Accompanying her was Gu Zhiyuan, who looked anxious.

"Anyang, what's wrong with you?" Gu Zhiyuan half-bowed, his face full of worry and guilt, "Could it be that you still doubt Qingqiu?"

In the dim room, Pei Anyang was still attracted by Gu Zhiyuan's elegant demeanor.

But at this moment, what was ringing in her ears were Gu Ning's words.

She held back her breath and said displeasedly: "What Ning'er said is not unreasonable. Marrying Qingqiu will be good for everyone."

A strange look appeared on Gu Zhiyuan's face under the shadow, but soon, when Pei Anyang raised his head and looked up, he returned to his gentle look: "Okay, it's all up to you."

"I believe that you will find a good marriage for Qingqiu."

Pei Anyang nodded slightly: "Don't worry, husband, I have made many wives in the capital. In addition, Qingqiu has a good reputation in the capital. It will not be difficult to find a good husband for her."

"Anyang is really my husband's perfect interpreter." Gu Zhiyuan smiled softly and held Pei Anyang's hand.

Pei Anyang nestled in his arms, unaware that her sweetheart was placing a hand on the teacup in front of her.

Gu Zhiyuan's hand shook slightly, and the white powder was mixed into the tea, leaving no trace.

Outside the door, Hu Zhu stopped. She used all her strength to control her hand to open the door.

She silently exited the courtyard and hurriedly walked outside.

…

"Unexpectedly, this accidental collision actually made my plan go further." Gu Ning was lying on the railing, feeding the koi in the lake.

Pei Anyang wants to propose marriage to Gu Qingqiu, and both Gu Qingqiu and Gu Zhiyuan will definitely be thrown into confusion because of this matter.

Maybe at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, she wouldn't have to do anything herself, and they would be able to hook up together.

"Aunt Huzhu from the princess's side is here."

Following Chunyu's soft call, Gu Ning was forced to come out of his thoughts.

"Huzhu?"

"Exactly." Chunyu reminded, "Aunt Huzhu was sent by the eldest princess to the princess back then."

Gu Ning suddenly realized.

Presumably, this Aunt Huzhu must be a powerful person, otherwise she would not be sent to protect Pei Anyang by the eldest princess.

She clapped her hands, sat upright and said, "Go and invite her in."

As soon as Hu Zhu entered the courtyard, she saw the well-behaved Gu Ning, who was completely different from the aggressive woman just now.

"My slave, I pay my respects to the county master." Hu Zhu bowed to Gu Ning.

It wasn't until Gu Ning raised her hand that she quickly walked to Gu Ning's side.

"My servant came today to remind the county master of something." Hu Zhu's expression was not very good, and she said word by word, "Be careful, sir!"

Gu Ning blinked and before nodding, he heard Hu Zhu say again: "He has the deepest thoughts and ruthless methods. What you and the princess did today will definitely make him feel uneasy, and he may not be able to return the favor."

I will notice your movements with the eldest princess."

"I know that you have a plan in mind, but the princess...the princess has never doubted him at all!"

"The princess has a simple temper and a weak body. She has been feeling guilty for not being able to be with you all these years, but in her heart, you are more important than anyone else! You must help her!"

Hu Zhu said, tears streaming down her face.

"What happened?" Gu Ning frowned, a trace of sadness suddenly appeared in her heart.

Hu Zhu shook her head gently and whispered: "The princess trusts Gu Zhiyuan deeply. A few words from Gu Zhiyuan can make her put aside her worries. But this slave has been with the princess since she was a child. She was not like this in the past."

.”

"Even if she has a simple temper, she will not listen to Gu Zhiyuan's words everywhere. It is impossible for the princess to not notice the anomalies that our servants can detect."

Gu Ning's eyes turned sharp: "So you suspect... what tricks did Gu Zhiyuan use on his mother to make her believe in him?"

Hu Zhu nodded desperately and said tremblingly: "I still doubt that... the princess had a difficult time giving birth to you, and he was also responsible for it! In addition, in recent years, the princess has been taking good care of her body according to the instructions of the imperial doctor, but she has been deteriorating.

Everything about these piles is abnormal!"

She cried every word, and her eyes were full of resentment.

"Have you told your grandmother about these things?"

"I just found out today!" Hu Zhu gritted her teeth and said, "I saw with my own eyes that Gu Zhiyuan shook some white powder into the tea used by the princess!"

"On the way to find you, I recalled all the strange things in the past years, and only then did I realize this man's vicious heart!"

"You must help the princess! Gu Zhiyuan is not a human being! The princess treats him wholeheartedly, but he does such a heartless thing! This slave is being watched by his people. If he goes to Pei's house, I'm afraid it will attract his attention.

I doubt it, now I can only rely on you, the county master!"

Hu Zhu had always been dignified, but now her eyes were as red as two swollen peaches from crying.

Meeting her gaze, Gu Ning gently pressed her hand: "Don't worry, I will definitely tell my grandmother about this matter! But you must also remember that you must keep this matter deep in your heart, and you must not

Let others know!”

Hu Zhu nodded heavily: "This is what I came to see you for!"

Gu Ning sat back on the stone bench, stroking the bracelet on her wrist, feeling very heavy.

Gu Zhiyuan was obsessed with clinging to the rich and powerful, and he did not hesitate to abandon Bai Yueguang for this purpose, but with his methods, he could not obtain such a secretive medicine.

Just as the eldest princess said, there is someone else behind him.

emperor……

Gu Ning gently closed her eyes, only to feel that all her nerves were tense.

She would never look down on anyone, and the emperor was only doing his best for Chu Yunyi.

In the original book, her death was probably the result of the emperor's manipulation. In this way, he could not only use the power of the Pei family to help Chu Yunyi stabilize his position, but also allow Chu Yunyi to have no worries.

What a deep scheming! What a vicious method!

Gu Ning smiled coldly, and under the surprised gazes of Hu Zhu and Chunyu, she said slowly: "Don't worry, I have my own way to handle this matter. The top priority is to find out what kind of poison my mother was poisoned with!"

"Over the years, there have been countless doctors who have checked the princess's pulse, but no one could detect that the princess had been poisoned." Hu Zhu said worriedly, "I'm afraid it's difficult..."

"No matter how difficult it is, we have to do it." Gu Ning's eyes were sharp, "Has Aunt Huzhu forgotten? My body is also extremely weak."

As soon as these words came out, Hu Zhu's expression changed drastically.

Those neglected details all came to her mind at this moment.

"So... it's very possible that you, the County Master, were manipulated by him?"

"Based on what I know about him, it should be like this." Gu Ning rested his chin leisurely. Although he was smiling, there was no smile in his eyes. "Let me, my daughter, look for what he sent me."

Give me a big gift!"

With that said, she stood up and walked straight to the inner room.

Hu Zhu was about to follow her when she saw Gu Ning waving his hand towards her: "You'd better wipe your tears clean and go back to serve your mother as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'm afraid Gu Zhiyuan will become suspicious."

"Yes." Hu Zhu calmed down and left in small steps.

The inner room is brightly lit, like daylight.

Gu Ning dismissed all the maids, leaving only Chunyu and Xie Yan.

"Tell me, if Gu Zhiyuan wants to poison me, where would be the most appropriate place to poison me?"

When Gu Ning spoke, he did not forget to poke fun at the system of pretending to be dead: "My illness was not brought about by my mother in the womb, but caused by being poisoned! Why didn't you tell me such an important thing?"

The system was silent as always, but Gu Ning read a hint of its thoughts from the silence: "It seems that you didn't mean to laugh at me, but you don't know the real reason!"

"Of course!" the system cursed, "When we came to this crappy place, not only were all the luck values ​​gone, but they were also negative. We couldn't move forward. How could we have any extra luck values ​​to scan the body! Anyway, this body

The disease will automatically recover as long as you complete the task, so why bother being taken advantage of and spending luck points that shouldn't be spent!"

Gu Ning snorted coldly and said sadly: "So you also know that without luck, it will be difficult to move forward!"

"Scan this room for me quickly. I want to know where the poison is!" Gu Ning gritted his teeth and said, "I don't have any extra luck to repair this body!"

The system suddenly shrank with all its teeth and claws: "But you don't have enough luck points to scan now! Then you need 30 luck points! Your current luck points are..."

"2!"

A huge blood-red number was placed in front of him. Gu Ning was so angry that he directly pierced the panel.

When Xie Yan saw her movements, a flash of confusion flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this, Gu Ning scratched the air a few times with a displeased look on his face: "I just saw a few mosquitoes! Chunyu, you have to have this room cleaned properly!"

"Yes!" Chunyu said sternly without doubting that he was there, "It must be the servants of the Gu family who are lazy, and this servant will keep an eye on them and clean them this time!"

Gu Ning nodded slightly, pretending as if nothing had happened, and continued to search the room.

She still doesn't believe it. With her ingenuity and intelligence, she still can't see through this little trick!

This room is quite large, but the inner room is where I really spend a lot of time.

There are no other abnormalities in the furnishings in the inner room. There are no traces of poison in the teapots and teacups used for drinking tea on weekdays. Even the incense is normal.

Where exactly was the poison administered?

Gu Ning frowned. In just a quarter of an hour, she had already turned around the small inner room several times.

And Chunyu didn't notice anything unusual in this inner room.

At this moment, Gu Ning's eyes caught sight of a field of peonies in full bloom.

Her heart skipped a beat and she was about to rush out.

But her hand was firmly held by someone.

Under the influence of inertia, she threw herself into Xie Yan's arms.

Xie Yan's heart was beating violently next to her ears. Gu Ning's ears felt hot and she subconsciously looked at Xie Yan.

"County Master, don't be anxious." Xie Yan avoided her gaze and unconsciously looked out the window. The tips of his ears were already slightly red. "Since we have someone to suspect, we should stay put at this time."
