Quick Wear: The Female Supporting Character's Counterattack

Chapter 214 Plan

I thought I entered the palace to escape the clutches of my stepmother, but I never expected that I had entered another tiger's den.

The palace has never been a greenhouse, but a battlefield for flowers.

Something changed in Wen Changwan's heart.

"Lianxin, go ahead. Concubine Shen is not an enemy. At least she won't harm me now."

"Then I will go now."

As Lianxin left, Wen Changwan came to the mirror and looked at her reflection in it, with a dazed look in her eyes for a moment.

The woman in the mirror had willow-shaped eyebrows, beautiful irises and cherry lips. She was also a beauty, but she was only considered above average in the palace.

In the palace, the powerful are flattered and the weak are bullied. If you are harmed and confined to your house, you will die if you cannot save yourself.

She spoke softly and firmly, "Wen Changwan, you can't lose here. You absolutely can't fall here."

Xianxian was just about to take a rest when she heard the sound of caressing willows outside the house.

"Master, Lian Xin from next door wants to see you."

Even if Wen Changwan was looking for her, Xianxian knew that she would fall into the trap the moment she helped Wen Changwan.

"Let her in."

When Lianxin saw Xianxian up close, a look of amazement couldn't help but flash across her eyes.

But she quickly came to her senses, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"This servant has met Lady Shen, and I beg you to save my master."

Xianxian winked at Fuliu and helped Lianxin up.

"Get up."

"Now I am just a noble. Even if I am lucky enough to receive your favor for one night, I may be forgotten afterwards. How can I guarantee that I can save Lady Wen?"

"You think too highly of me."

Hearing that Xianxian was rejecting her, Lianxin knelt on the ground and spoke again.

"The master wants to see you, please give me a chance."

"Miss Wen wants to see me? Sure, I'll go right after I change my clothes."

She wanted to see what Wen Changwan would say when she saw her.

In the main hall, Concubine Zheng was reading with the Second Prince. Liuli walked in quickly and whispered something in her ear.

Concubine Zheng Xianfei said indifferently, "Let them be, don't worry about it."

"The Queen Mother only confined her to her quarters, and did not ask others not to see her."

"You continue to keep an eye on them. As long as they don't cause any serious trouble, leave them alone."

Even if the women in the palace fight to the point of bloodshed, as long as it does not harm their second prince.

Concubine Zheng pretended that she could hear nothing and see nothing.

The eldest prince is stupid and dull, the third prince is dead, and the fourth prince is still an infant.

A few days ago, His Majesty praised the Second Prince for his intelligence.

Looking at the Second Prince who was holding a book and nodding his head, Concubine Zheng's eyes were full of pride and determination.

Xianxian came to Wen Changwan's side hall. They hadn't seen each other for just a few hours, but she looked much more haggard.

Her eyes were red as she knelt down and saluted, "My concubine greets you, Your Excellency."

But Xianxian held the other person's arm and asked, "Why are you so haggard?"

Wen Changwan had a rosy complexion this morning, but now she looked pale, weak and haggard.

However, a closer look revealed something. The other person must have smeared something on his face, intentionally making himself look paler.

These little tricks aren't very clever, but they're fine if they can earn you other people's sympathy.

Sure enough, Wen Changwan shed tears, looking indescribably weak and aggrieved.

"What happened in the Cining Palace today really makes me at a loss as to what to do."

"If the elder sister hadn't helped the younger sister, I'm afraid the younger sister would have been punished."

Xianxian watched the other person acting quietly until Wen Changwan finally wiped away her tears and got down to business.

She broke free from her slender hands and just knelt on the ground with her head lowered.

"Please help me one more time. As long as you can help me through this difficult time, I will definitely repay you with all my strength in the future."

Sometimes there is hope only when you are alive. I fell out of favor just after entering the palace. If I were to bear the guilt, I would be in silence for the rest of my life.

No, she didn't want to live like this at all.

Just kneeling on the ground and lowering his head was nothing in Wen Changwan's eyes.

Xianxian stepped forward to support Wen Changwan and said helplessly, "I know your difficulties, but I am just a small noble now. How can I help you?"

Hearing that the other party agreed to help her, hope rose in Wen Changwan's eyes, and she stood up with her slender strength.

She held her slender wrist tightly and said, "There's one thing about erotic fragrance: if you mix a spice with it, it will lose any medicinal effect and become just a scent similar to the erotic fragrance."

"How did you find out?"

As expected of the heroine, how come she knows everything?

Even if the dilemma does not appear in the plot, she can still find loopholes.

Since you can’t find the origin of this thing, why not solve your own dilemma first?

This is what Wen Changwan thought.

The truth is not important, and it doesn’t matter who hurt her. What matters is that she can break the ban.

Wen Changwan's eyes flashed with sarcasm, "My good stepmother uses her fragrance to tie my father tightly."

"Less than half a year after my mother passed away, my beloved sister was born."

"In the past, I was curious about what kind of erotic fragrance could make my father ignore the criticisms of others and even ignore the fact that my mother's body was still warm."

"My father insisted on marrying a pregnant woman as his second wife, and he specially sent someone to investigate Yanxiang. I know this dirty thing very well."

After hearing this, Xianxian's eyes flashed with heartache.

But she pulled Wen Changwan aside and warned, "Fortunately, the Queen has never investigated your family, let alone carefully examined the people around you."

"You have investigated what Yanxiang is, and you will know that you have been caught."

Wen Changwan suddenly understood what Xianxian reminded her.

"Thanks for the reminder, sister."

Xianxian nodded gently, "I already understood what you meant just now. You want me to start with the Yanxiang in the Queen Mother's hand, right?"

"Yes."

At this time, Wen Changwan took out a handkerchief from her arms, which contained a black wooden block the size of a fingernail.

Xianxian took it and sniffed it, and an indescribable fragrance came from it.

"What is this thing?"

"This is Quxiang, a common fragrant wood. Grind it into powder and apply it on the triangular cloth bag. The fragrant aroma inside will change soon."

Perhaps worried that Xianxian might misunderstand, Wen Changwan continued to explain, "This fragrant wood is not a forbidden item. I brought it into the palace with a clear conscience."

"I believe you."

Seeing the trust in Xianxian's eyes, Wen Changwan couldn't help but tremble slightly in her heart. This was probably the first time in her sixteen years that someone trusted her like this.

My second sister is half a year younger than me, but she likes to use weak and cruel means to frame me again and again.

His father believed in his stepmother and second sister, and everyone in the mansion believed in his second sister who loved acting. No one had ever said, "I believe you."

Although she clearly reminded herself that everyone in the palace wore a mask, Wen Changwan still couldn't help feeling excited.

She was only sixteen.

"Sister, do you really believe me?"

Xianxian pulled her to release her kindness.

"I believe you. It must not be you who brought Yanxiang into the palace. I also believe that you will not harm me."

Of course it wasn't you. That was a trap set by Concubine Rou for herself. She was just trying to divert the blame.
