I Just Want to be a Throwaway Character - Chapter 86

Chapter 86: World Five

Upon hearing the sound, Huangfu Yue immediately became vigilant.

Before Ji Wan could be happy about not having to drink the medicine, she was pulled by Huangfu Yue and quickly hidden in a secluded spot.

The two of them were forced to squeeze into a narrow crevice in the cave.

Ji Wan was forced to bury her face in Huangfu Yue’s chest, listening to her steady and powerful heartbeats, and for a moment, she didn’t feel so scared.

However, as the footsteps approached the cave, Ji Wan’s expression became flustered.

She was a little nervous and tightened her grip on Huangfu Yue’s clothes.

She still had an impression of that murderous intent from yesterday.

It was the first time Ji Wan had felt such direct hostility.

She wondered who the original owner had offended to be so miserable.

Sensing Ji Wan’s fear, a hint of softness appeared in Huangfu Yue’s eyes.

She gently placed her hand on Ji Wan’s back to comfort her.

Suddenly, the footsteps of the group got closer, they were about to come in!

Ji Wan felt her nerves tense up to the extreme.

Even Huangfu Yue’s sleeve revealed a hidden dagger.

She was planning to find an opportunity to break through if necessary.

The atmosphere in the cave was silent, accompanied by the sounds of their breathing, which only Ji Wan and Huangfu Yue could hear.

Suddenly, the footsteps became hurried.

“Hurry, there’s a cave here. It looks like someone has been here.”

A distinctly thick and muffled male voice came in.

Then there was a series of clear footsteps stepping on the ground.

It was very obvious in the small and silent cave.

Just as one of the people was about to find where they were.

Huangfu Yue was about to prepare to break through.

She was about to put her sword to the neck of a person who was about to walk over.

But Ji Wan suddenly grabbed Huangfu Yue’s sleeve and stopped her in a panic, “Yue, wait.”

Ji Wan looked at the familiar clothes and patterns of the person who came over.

This seemed to be the clothes worn by the original owner’s guards.

The guard felt the tip of the knife suddenly pressed against his neck, and his body instantly stiffened, feeling a little flustered.

But he soon heard a clear and familiar voice.

This voice? Isn’t this the princess they’ve been looking for all day!!!

“Yue, put down the knife, he’s a guard my father sent for me.” Ji Wan held Huangfu Yue’s sleeve and said softly.

But Huangfu Yue’s expression was full of murderous intent, and she still held the tip of the knife.

She remembered Ji Wan’s inexplicable chase and the sudden appearance of these guards.

She didn’t dare to believe it easily.

The other guards rushed over when they heard the news and saw their princess.

And then they saw Huangfu Yue holding one of their subordinates hostage.

The soldiers instantly became vigilant, raising their swords and pointing them at Huangfu Yue, “Princess, come here, this person is dangerous.”

Seeing that the two sides were about to fight.

Ji Wan quickly hugged Huangfu Yue’s waist from behind, “Yue, don’t, they are indeed my guards, it’s just that I was being playful and secretly left them for my brother.”

Ji Wan instantly recalled this memory fragment in her mind.

She hurriedly stopped Huangfu Yue.

Huangfu Yue felt the sudden softness on her back, and her expression stiffened for a moment.

She slowly put down the sharp blade in her hand, but her eyes were still vigilant.

The others saw that the crisis was over and also put down their weapons.

They all knelt down, “Your subordinate is late in coming to your rescue.”

When Ji Wan sat in the comfortable carriage again, she saw a familiar face of the original owner’s—the Fourth Prince, Ji Minghao.

In the original text, Ji Minghao was a loving brother who doted on Ji Wan.

Ji Minghao’s mother, Lady Nalan, had passed away when he was young, and he was adopted by the empress who only had one daughter.

Ji Minghao was seven or eight years older than Ji Wan, so Ji Wan was also watched as she grew up by him.

At the same time, Ji Minghao was also the biggest obstacle for the female lead to seize the throne in the later stages.

Although Ji Minghao was not from the same mother as Ji Wan, he had been giving Ji Wan whatever she wanted since she was a child.

He was incredibly good to her.

“Brother.” Ji Wan looked at the gentle and elegant Ji Minghao and called out obediently.

Putting everything else aside, as the big villain in the later stages, Ji Minghao’s looks were still excellent.

Although the female lead was still more beautiful.

“Hmm, as long as Wan’er is fine. Come over, you must be hungry.” Ji Minghao smiled gently, reaching out and gesturing for Ji Wan to come over.

Ji Wan obediently walked over, and suddenly Ji Wan’s nose smelled a medicinal scent.

Remembering the terrifying thing she had just drunk, Ji Wan frowned slightly.

She suddenly remembered that in the original text, her brother seemed to have a sickly character setting.

It seemed to be something he was born with.

“What’s wrong? Were you scared? You’re not usually like this when you see your brother.”

Ji Minghao looked at the somewhat reserved Ji Wan with a smile in his eyes and said softly.

“I also need to learn to grow up and not be so dependent on my brother like before.”

Ji Wan replied softly, her voice still carrying the original owner’s childish coquettishness towards Ji Minghao.

It made Ji Minghao feel as if he saw the cute little girl who used to chase after him and call him “brother” when she was a child.

“That’s good too, our Wan’er has learned to grow up.” Ji Minghao smiled gently.

However, his expression when he looked at Ji Wan became complex.

Ji Wan sat obediently across from Ji Minghao.

Logically, she should have a hint of the original owner’s willfulness and arrogance.

But she always felt a strange feeling when she was with Ji Minghao.

It was as if the person in front of her was not as simple as he appeared.

Ji Minghao exuded a dangerous aura.

It made her instinctively unable to feel close to him.

Well, Ji Minghao was the villain in the original text after all.

And in the original text, the original owner didn’t seem to be that close to him after she grew up. Ji Minghao’s doting sometimes seemed more like a one-sided devotion.

The atmosphere in the carriage quieted down.

For some reason, Ji Wan suddenly wanted Huangfu Yue to stay with her.

Although Huangfu Yue didn’t talk much, she was happy as long as she was by her side.

Ji Wan’s gaze couldn’t help but drift to the location of the carriage curtain, where Huangfu Yue was outside.

She didn’t know how much time had passed, but Ji Wan’s head began to feel heavy as the medicine took effect.

Feeling the swaying of the carriage, Ji Wan leaned against the wall inside the carriage and fell into a groggy sleep.

The place where Ji Wan was was not very far from the imperial palace, about three hours later.

She returned to the princess’s mansion.

As the most beloved princess of the new emperor, Ji Wan’s food, clothing, housing, and transportation were all of the highest quality.

Her residence could even rival the Crown Prince’s palace.

As a result, there were even rumors among the people that Ji Wan would become the first female emperor in history.

Ji Minghao looked at Ji Wan, who was curled up in a corner of the carriage and had fallen asleep.

A cold glint appeared in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

At the same time, as Ji Minghao got out of the carriage, he felt a gaze observing him.

But he looked around and saw no one.

He didn’t pay too much attention and instructed his people to take good care of the princess before leaving.

The image of a gentle brother was deeply rooted in people’s hearts.

Huangfu Yue stood with her head down in the middle of a crowd of people.

After Ji Minghao left, Huangfu Yue, as Ji Wan’s “personal palace maid,” gently stepped into the carriage.

When she saw Ji Wan curled up in a corner of the carriage, sleeping soundly.

Hearing Ji Wan’s steady breathing, Huangfu Yue’s inexplicably worried heart finally relaxed.

Ji Minghao? A thoughtful look appeared in Huangfu Yue’s eyes.

Why did he appear so perfectly when Ji Wan was being chased?

And just now, Huangfu Yue clearly sensed danger from Ji Minghao.

This was definitely not the demeanor of a person who had been sick for a long time.

Huangfu Yue gently pulled out Ji Wan’s hand that was sleeping by her cheek and felt Ji Wan’s pulse.

Listening to Ji Wan’s steady and strong pulse, Huangfu Yue was finally a little relieved.

It seemed that the medicine was effective, and she needed to increase the dosage.

Huangfu Yue gently picked up Ji Wan and walked towards her room.

When Ji Wan woke up groggily, she looked at the familiar surroundings from her memory.

This seemed to be the original owner’s room, so she was back?

Ji Wan slowly sat up, draped in a large outer coat, and walked out barefoot.

Her fair and small feet stepped on the smooth floor, and the large outer coat dragged on the floor.

Just as Ji Wan was about to push open the vermilion door, it suddenly opened by itself.

Huangfu Yue’s face was revealed.

Huangfu Yue looked at Ji Wan’s appearance, especially the way she got out of bed barefoot, and frowned.

“Yue?” Ji Wan looked at Huangfu Yue strangely, seeing her looking at her without saying a word, and her gaze was on her feet.

She couldn’t help but call out to the somewhat lost-in-thought Huangfu Yue.

Ji Wan strangely looked down at her feet, what’s wrong?

Do my feet smell???

“Princess, mind your manners.” Huangfu Yue said softly.

Seeing the girl awkwardly tucking her feet into the hem of her skirt, looking as if she had done something wrong and was being scolded.

Huangfu Yue felt a hint of amusement for a moment.

“Ah? Oh, I know.” Ji Wan replied obediently, like a child who had made a mistake.

That’s good, that’s good, I knew I couldn’t have stinky feet.

Ji Wan’s mood instantly became happy, and her steps as she went to put on her shoes also became cheerful.

The girl’s small expression was lively and full of energy.

Huangfu Yue showed a faint smile from behind Ji Wan.

But she didn’t know what she remembered, and Huangfu Yue’s expression changed again.

She is that person’s daughter.

Why do I care about her so much?

But soon, Ji Wan had only just put on one shoe.

A high-pitched voice came in.

“Princess! Princess!!” The eunuch in Ji Wan’s mansion called out.

But he was stopped by Huangfu Yue outside, “What is it?”

The eunuch looked at the new palace maid next to Ji Wan and didn’t have time to bother with her.

His tone was urgent, “Hurry, hurry, His Majesty is here. Quickly tell the princess.”

“Who did you say is here?” Huangfu Yue’s eyes showed a cold glint, and her tone became icy.

“Are you an idiot? That’s our emperor, the supreme being.”

The eunuch looked at Huangfu Yue impatiently.

Why was this new palace maid so insensible?

Ji Wan also clearly heard the voices outside, and she hurried to put on her other shoe and walked out.

The eunuch was about to scold Huangfu Yue.

But he was interrupted by Ji Wan’s sudden appearance and immediately stood obediently to the side.

“What is it?” Ji Wan asked, putting on her princess demeanor.

“Princess, His Majesty is here.” The eunuch said respectfully, bowing.

“Hmm, I know, you may go. Tell my father I’ll be there soon.” Ji Wan said indifferently.

But under her calm exterior.

Oh no, oh no, the female lead is about to meet her “dad.”

Isn’t this a case of enemies meeting and their eyes turning red?

This is going to be bad. If her father, Ji Yuanhan, sees Huangfu Yue.

The consequences… it’s like a collision between Mars and Earth.

“Yue, come here.” Ji Wan looked at Huangfu Yue’s obviously colder eyes and said.

Ah! The good impression she had worked so hard to build up, won’t it be erased today?

Fortunately, Huangfu Yue walked towards her.

Ji Wan looked at Huangfu Yue, who was obviously half a head taller than her.

Her mind wandered for a moment.

Didn’t the original text say that the female lead was wandering around when she was a child?

This height… never mind, never mind. My Yueyue is the female lead, it’s good that she’s tall, majestic and dominant.

But Ji Wan didn’t forget the main task.

She trotted to the dressing mirror and took out a half-face mask.

Then she walked towards Huangfu Yue and put the mask on her.

Huangfu Yue looked at Ji Wan, who suddenly approached her, and frowned, wanting to back away.

But she was grabbed by the wrist by Ji Wan, “Be good, don’t move.”

Then Huangfu Yue saw a mask being placed over her face.

Huangfu Yue’s nose smelled the milky scent of the girl who was extremely close.

Through the mask, she looked down and saw Ji Wan’s eyes as bright as stars.

And in those beautiful eyes, she was reflected.

Only her.
