Chapter 1: Transmigrated into a Cannon Fodder Concubine
"It was Concubine Rong who pushed Concubine Hui. She pushed Concubine Hui. I saw it clearly."
Cheng Jin felt her head buzzing as she heard the cries in her ears.
What Concubine Rong, Concubine Hui? Didn't she just stay up late to read a novel?
Did she become insane?
Cheng Jin saw the palace maid glance at her, her eyes full of timidity and guilt, and kowtowed to the man sitting on the upper seat.
"Your Majesty, if you say even a single false word, I will be struck by five thunders and will never be reincarnated."
According to the usual routine, it was either acting or transmigrating into a book.
Cheng Jin looked at the palace maid who kept kowtowing in front of her and suddenly woke up.
Isn't the plot the same as the bloody time-travel novel called "The Cold-Faced Prince Dotes on Her" that I read last night?
Well, I really did travel through a book.
I even became a member of the villain cannon fodder group in the book.
Yes, Chu Chengye, who is sitting on the dragon chair at this moment, is also one of them.
According to the plot, when Qu Wanxin fell into the lake in the palace, her body was occupied by the soul of the heroine from modern times, and she opened the route of face-slapping and revenge.
And her first target was the most arrogant and domineering Concubine Rong who relied on the power of her family. She pretended to fall into the water and bribed the palace maids in the palace to frame Cheng Jin.
Cheng Jin, who was not favored to begin with, struggled desperately when she was about to be sent to the cold palace.
I don't know if it's because the heroine in the book is too powerful. Chu Chengye is the biggest villain and tyrant in the book. He is bloodthirsty and was sent to a vassal state as a hostage by the late emperor when he was eight years old. He endured it for more than ten years.
It is said that the vassal state was in a bloodbath, and Chu Chengye returned to the Southern Qi State with the head of the vassal leader. He made great contributions, and the late emperor gave this son who could not remember his name the title of prince. After
that, Chu Chengye did not live peacefully as his idle prince. He first forced the late emperor to abdicate, and then made major changes to the country's policies. If there were ministers who disobeyed his orders, they all died under his sword without exception.
Such a tyrant, who could have achieved his goal of unification with his own strength, fell in love with the heroine at first sight, set up six palaces for her, and even believed what the heroine said, and was willing to give up fighting for her.
But he forgot that Qu Wanxin, whom he placed in the palace, was once the childhood sweetheart of the hero, the fifth prince Chu Huaian.
It was a sweet and refreshing plot of a tyrant's exclusive favor, but unfortunately, Chu Chengye was not the hero, but the villain. He seized his world, but later it was taken away by the fifth prince and the foreign vassal.
The body was hung on the city gate for 49 days, left to be eaten by birds, and then thrown into a barren mountain, left to be torn by wild beasts, and finally died without a burial place.
The Fifth Prince ascended the throne and issued a general amnesty, and most of the concubines in the palace were dismissed and returned home.
Only Cheng Jin, who was in the cold palace and had only seen Chu Chengye twice in the whole book, was claimed to be Chu Chengye's favorite concubine. She was dragged out of the cold palace and buried with Chu Chengye. Cheng Jin
: "......."
I won't say a word before my judge comes.
Although she will not live long either, and will also be cannon fodder, but when it comes to the way she will die, Cheng Jin still looked up at Chu Chengye with heartache.
Such a handsome face, what a pity.
"Bang!"
Chu Chengye, who was sitting on the chair, slammed the table, and the cakes and tea on it collided with each other like a landslide, making a loud noise.
Everyone in the room knelt on the ground in unison, not daring to breathe.
The fact that Concubine Rong's father used his high position and power to force his daughter into the palace and insisted on making her a concubine was enough to make the emperor angry. Now Concubine Rong has done such a vicious thing and pushed Concubine Hui into the lake.
Who in the palace knows who is in the palace? Although Qu Wanxin is just a noble lady in the palace, she was brought back by the emperor himself. Who else in the harem has such an honor?
Now that Concubine Rong has done this, even if she escapes death, she will not be able to escape the fate of being sent to the cold palace.
"How dare you!"
Chu Chengye was extremely angry when he heard the inexplicable voice in his ear, and he roared at Cheng Jin.
How could he, the ruler of the Southern Qi Kingdom, the supreme ruler above all others, give up his status, identity, and even the people of the world for a woman? He
even ended up with his body being eaten by birds and beasts without a burial place.
He only met that woman once, and he knew that the woman was his brother's favorite. In order to restrain this restless brother, he naturally had to keep her in the palace to hate him.
But it was clearly the voice of the person in front of him. Chu Chengye lowered his head and looked at Cheng Jin, but she didn't open her mouth to speak. Could
it be that the woman was using ventriloquism?
Chu Chengye turned and looked at the eunuch beside him and the palace maid who was kneeling and sobbing not far away, but there was nothing unusual on their faces.
It can be seen that only he could hear it.
However, Chu Chengye did not dare to believe it. He stared at Cheng Jin in front of him with a pair of narrow eyes. He opened his thin lips and said without any emotion:
"Empress Rong, I want to hear you say it."
Chu Chengye actually wanted to hear whether Cheng Jin was talking to the same person as he heard.
After hearing what Chu Chengye said, Cheng Jin thought that Chu Chengye believed the words of the palace maid and was angry, and letting her talk was just a formality.
Cheng Jin lowered her head, and the expression on her face could be said to be as pitiful as it could be, as if she had done this thing.
But if she hadn't lowered her head, the smile on the corner of her mouth could not be hidden at all.
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong."
[It's here, this scene is finally here, I'm going to the cold palace, although the cold palace is a bit deserted, but at least I don't have to see Qu Wanxin, the fifth prince and the tyrant in front of me. The less they see each other, the less dangerous it is. ]
[I have claustrophobia, I'm afraid of people with many schemes. ]
Cheng Jin shed a few tears at the right time and looked up at Chu Chengye sitting on the dragon chair.
He is the handsome and cruel villain tyrant described in the book.
He is still wearing the dragon robe he wore when he went to court, sitting upright, his pair of red phoenix eyes seem to reveal danger all the time, his fingertips lightly tap the table, although his face is expressionless, it makes people shudder.
Chu Chengye was staring at Cheng Jin in front of him at this moment, his brows furrowed, his thin lips tightly pursed as if he wanted to say something, his eyes were filled with a bit of doubt and anger.
It was indeed her.
Seeing Chu Chengye staring at her closely, Cheng Jin thought that he was so angry that he wanted to eat her alive for her beloved.
[I know you are very angry, but don't be angry yet. Is it possible that Qu Wanxin was not pushed by me, but she wanted to commit suicide with her ideal husband, the Fifth Prince?]
[I think we can find her farewell letter on the bridge bank now.]
Chu Chengye was startled and wanted to call the eunuch Wei An beside him to see if it was true.
Cheng Jin lowered her head, still immersed in her own thoughts.
[What did this tyrant send someone to do? Is it to see how Qu Wanxin is doing so that he can convict me? 】
【But it seems to have nothing to do with me. As long as the tyrant gives an order, I can be moved to the cold palace today. The tyrant will not use me as a shield to block the assassination at the banquet that night. 】
【Instead of caring about your lover who is not in your heart, it is better to check the people around you, so that you don’t die prematurely and drag me to cushion your back. 】
