Quick Travel: When a delicate beauty becomes cannon fodder

Chapter 42 Xiao Jiaojiao in the Palace (2)

Ruan Ruan wanted to open his eyes, but his eyelids seemed to be glued together.

In the end, I could only sink into the darkness unwillingly.

At the same time, the system transmitted the plot to Ruan Ruan and received it in the form of a dream.

This world is called "The Paranoid Tyrant's Fugitive Concubine".

The story takes place in Tianyao Kingdom, whose surname is Qiguan, and the male protagonist’s single name is Yao.

When the late emperor was on the throne, his relatives were involved in politics, and when the male protagonist succeeded to the throne, it was even more difficult to do so.

The late emperor passed away after lingering on his sick bed for several years. Qi Guanyao was not yet nine years old when the queen supported him to ascend the throne.He could only hide his strength and bide his time in secret, not daring to reveal the slightest bit of his ambition.

After more than ten years of forbearance, he finally defeated the queen and sent her underground to accompany the late emperor.

But he still has enemies that he hasn’t eliminated yet——

In order to better control him, the queen designed to kill his mother and concubine.

Every night he would dream about the tragic death of his mother and concubine, but he could only smile at his enemies every day, not daring to show even a trace of hatred.

His long-term forbearance eventually affected his character. He became twisted and paranoid, and loved to torture people with cruel methods.

And what he wants to torture most now is the Queen's accomplices, the Su family.

At present, there are three main forces in the court: the emperor, the prime minister, and the regent.

The situation was reshuffled while the male protagonist and the queen were fighting to the death, and now it looks like a single move can affect the whole body.

The Su family seized the opportunity to join the Prime Minister's faction and showed great value.Therefore, the prime minister wanted to protect him, and Qi Guan Yao could not kill him for the time being.

If they really break up, there's no guarantee that the regent won't be hiding behind his back to make a profit.

This behavior only stimulated him, and Qi Guan Yao ordered Su Hong's daughter to serve in the palace.

This begins the journey of love between the male and female protagonists, who chase each other and run away from each other.

Su Hong knew that letting Su Qianrou into the palace would undoubtedly push her into a pit of fire, but he didn't care at all.After all, she had not been favored since she was a child, and he was the only one who was selfish in his eyes and heart.

So, Su Qianrou ran away without even leaving a message...

Su Hong didn't have any other daughters. With the Prime Minister's nod, he quickly found an orphan girl from outside and adopted him as his adopted daughter.She was sent to the palace without even changing her name.

As for whether she is willing or not, who cares?
Ruan Ruan was transformed into this unlucky cannon fodder, and she was forcibly sent to the palace.Qi Guanyao tortured her in every possible way because of his resentment towards the Su family, and even asked the imperial doctor to hang her life up, fearing that she would die too easily.

But it didn’t take long for her to fade away...

Its only function in the whole text is to fill the hole for the heroine to escape.

Later, Qi Guanyao met the beautiful heroine when he went to Jiangnan, and the two quickly fell in love.

After knowing the identity of the heroine, they were tortured again. As the two were entangled, Qi Guanyao learned that the heroine had never been liked by Su Hong.Having lived in neglect and pain since childhood, the knot in my heart was suddenly relieved.

From then on, they lived together with He Meimei.

In the later period, the heroine also severed her relationship with Su Hong. After the Su family was raided and executed, she finally gave them a stick of incense and completely forgot about them.

……

……

Ruan Ruan closed his eyes and sorted through the pictures in his mind, but he always felt that something was wrong.

The physical discomfort made it difficult for her to concentrate and think carefully.

She struggled to get up from the bed, but her whole body felt sore as soon as she tried hard. The sequelae of drowning were clearly reflected in her delicate body.

This is a run-down house.

The bed board beneath me was very hard, and the only quilt was almost half patched, looking very shabby.

But it is very clean, with a light fragrance after washing.

There was very little furniture in the house, except for a bed and an old wooden table not far away. There was a teapot and a broken teacup on the table.

The house seemed even more empty.There was a cool breeze blowing from the broken window. Ruan Ruan shivered and silently rolled the quilt around himself.

"Ah-"

She couldn't help but poke at the system.

This is too tragic! !
The little girl was half leaning on the head of the bed, her hair was messy and her face was frighteningly pale.His eyes were looking at a certain point unconsciously, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Miss! You're awake!!"

A green figure walked quickly to her side, holding a medicine bowl in his hand, walking quickly but not spilling a drop.

Yunzhu was a maid that the Su family bought for Ruan Ruan before entering the palace.In other words, it's just a face-saving thing, and I didn't put any thought into selecting people.

But she was unexpectedly heartfelt.

Not only did he help her a lot in life, Yunzhu also risked everything to avenge her after her death.Although he failed in the end, he also ended up with a bad death...

There wasn't even a place to put a bowl beside the bed. Yunzhu held the medicine bowl in one hand and helped her sit up half-sitting without any difficulty.

"Miss, why did you get up on your own? Did you call me, slave, and didn't you hear me?"

After the tyrant learned that the Su family had replaced him, he didn't even give Ruan Ruan a rank.

So she could only be regarded as a woman with no status around the tyrant, so Yunzhu kept calling her miss.

Ruan Ruan opened his lips to speak, but the voice came out hoarse.

"No--" I call you.

There was a stinging pain in her vocal cords, and Yunzhu quickly stopped her from talking.

"This slave is confused. You should talk less and rest more. The medicine is almost cold, I will feed you."

As he spoke, he stirred the concoction in his hand, scooped up a spoonful and fed it to her.

Ruan Ruan followed her movements and drank, and his whole body froze in the next second.

This medicine is so bitter.

It's like adding ten pounds of coptis.

Yunzhu saw her thoughts, took another spoonful and said at the same time.

"Your Majesty specifically ordered you to use the bitterest medicine. The imperial doctor complied with His Majesty's wishes and prescribed this medicine. Although it is bitter, the medicine is still very effective."

"I will try to secretly hide some candied fruits for you when the time comes. Don't mind the pain. Only by taking medicine can you get better quickly!"

Ruan Ruan was almost furious after hearing what she said!
He actually made her drink such bitter medicine on purpose.

What, Your Majesty? !He is a dog man! !
The powerful Su family did not dare to move, but they bullied her as an orphan.

Ruan Ruan felt that the future was worrying when he thought that he had to take the initiative to attack him.

She could understand the system saying that this was the fate of cannon fodder, but she was the one who felt uncomfortable now, and she was not able to accept it as easily as she thought.

She pushed the medicine bowl in front of her and squeezed out two words, "I won't drink."

Yunzhu was anxious now.

"Miss, you can't live with your body!"

……

Unable to withstand Yunzhu's repeated persuasion, Ruan Ruan finally relented.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

Ruan Ruan took the bowl and poured it into his mouth, swallowing it all in two gulps.

She was so miserable that tears rushed out and she couldn't stop them.

A thin layer of concoction was applied to her lips, and the red around her eyes also added a bit of color, so her complexion did not look too pale.
