I Just Want to be a Throwaway Character - Chapter 91

Chapter 91: World Five

Ji Wan looked at the dark concoction in front of her with a sense of despair.

Is it too late to run now?

Thinking this, Ji Wan slowly moved her calves under the soft couch table.

She moved towards the edge of the soft couch, wanting to escape while Huangfu Yue wasn’t paying attention.

But Ji Wan didn’t succeed. A shadow blocked her path.

“Where is the princess going?”

Huangfu Yue looked at the disobedient Ji Wan, the corners of her mouth curved into a half-smile.

She looked like a cunning old fox who was about to mess with her…

There was no way out, Ji Wan knew she couldn’t run.

During the cold war a few days ago, she had an excuse not to take the medicine Huangfu Yue brought her.

But now, she had to have a legitimate reason to get away.

“Uh, Yue, I… I want to go out for a walk. I’m so tired of writing.” Ji Wan blinked her moist eyes at Huangfu Yue.

She wanted to get away with being cute.

But she underestimated Huangfu Yue’s composure.

Huangfu Yue didn’t say anything, she just lowered her head and stared directly into Ji Wan’s eyes.

Whatever Ji Wan wanted to do was easily expressed on her face.

She was easy to read, making people want to spoil her and agree to her requests.

But…

Huangfu Yue’s mouth curved into a gentle, shallow smile, but what she said was—no.

Ji Wan felt her words instantly get stuck.

She felt like she had hope.

But she didn’t give up. She shamelessly started to act like a rogue, “Yue, no, I’m not drinking it, it’s so bitter.”

“No.” Huangfu Yue gently held up the bowl of medicine, stirred it with a ladle, and gently blew on it to cool it before bringing it to Ji Wan’s mouth.

“I’m not drinking it.” Ji Wan stubbornly turned her head, and even stuck out her pink tongue at Huangfu Yue.

Looking at the girl’s mischievous and cute look.

And the little tongue sticking out from her crimson lips, Huangfu Yue’s eyes deepened.

Her breath hitched, and her heart rate quickened for a moment.

“No, this medicine is good for you, drink it.”

Huangfu Yue forced herself to calm down her inappropriate emotions towards Ji Wan, pretending to be indifferent.

With that, Huangfu Yue simply ditched the ladle.

She held the bowl directly and brought it to Ji Wan.

Ji Wan looked at the pitch-black and still-warm medicine, and she slightly turned her head in resistance.

The medicine smelled suffocating, let alone drinking it.

This was going to be the death of her.

But when Ji Wan looked up, she saw Huangfu Yue’s burning gaze on her.

What if the female lead holds a grudge against her later?

It seemed she had no choice but to drink it…

Ji Wan’s little brows were tightly furrowed, and she was incredibly conflicted.

On one side was the medicine that was going to be the death of her, and on the other was the female lead who was “glaring” at her.

Ji Wan’s mind couldn’t help but play a song—I want to escape, but I can’t…

Don’t say, it was quite fitting.

Just as Ji Wan was about to slowly and lifelessly drink the medicine that Huangfu Yue handed her.

“Princess! Princess!!” A sharp voice rang out again.

Ji Wan instantly pulled her head back, away from the bowl of medicine.

For a moment, Ji Wan felt that the voice she usually found annoying sounded inexplicably good right now!!!

Her eyes lit up with excitement as she looked at the door.

She wanted to see which great benefactor it was.

Eunuch Xiaofuzi ran in a hurry, and his footsteps suddenly paused.

Why was the princess looking at him with such excitement?

As soon as he came in, he saw Huangfu Yue looking like she was about to feed Ji Wan medicine.

And her princess looked wronged and scared? at the palace maid he had seen before.

There was no time to be surprised by his princess’s strange change.

Xiaofuzi quickly knelt down to bow.

He said in a hurry, “Princess, His Majesty summons you to the palace.”

“Father Emperor?” Ji Wan was a little confused.

Her confinement wasn’t over yet, so was her old man planning to let her out?

Thinking of this.

Ji Wan’s little face instantly showed excitement.

“Let’s go, to the palace now.” Ji Wan hurriedly jumped off the soft couch.

This rare opportunity to escape from drinking medicine was not to be missed.

But Ji Wan had not yet bounced off the bed.

The back of her collar was held by Huangfu Yue.

Then Ji Wan stiffly turned her head and saw Huangfu Yue’s half-smiling and scary expression.

“You can go, but drink the medicine, drink it all.” Huangfu Yue used the calmest words, but they made Ji Wan feel terrified.

In the carriage, Ji Wan felt the bitterness in her mouth.

She frowned tightly, her little face was bitter, and she kept pouring herself tea to rinse her mouth.

Huangfu Yue was too ruthless, drinking it all meant not a single drop was left.

Thinking of how after she finished drinking the medicine, Huangfu Yue’s thumb gently wiped the residue from her lips.

Ji Wan’s face couldn’t help but feel hot.

“Seriously, I don’t know how her future three thousand concubines will be able to handle such a dominant person.”

Ji Wan thought with both shame and anger.

Soon, they arrived at the imperial palace.

Ji Wan learned from her last lesson and didn’t bring Huangfu Yue with her.

Instead, she went into the palace with a few of her attendants.

Ji Wan arrived quite early, and her old man Ji Yuanhan had not yet finished his morning court session.

So Ji Wan went to the empress’s palace, her biological mother.

Walking into the empress’s palace.

A beauty in a luxurious robe, who was seventy to eighty percent similar to Ji Wan, was sitting in the courtyard, sipping scented tea and appreciating the flowers that Ji Yuanhan had specially planted for her.

“Mother Empress!” Ji Wan called out happily and ran towards the empress.

Hearing the familiar voice, the empress’s hand holding the cup paused, and she showed a smile.

She turned her head to look at her daughter whom she hadn’t seen in a long time.

“Wan’er is here, come over quickly.” The empress gently waved her hand, signaling Ji Wan to sit next to her.

Ji Wan obediently ran over, threw herself into her mother’s arms, and softly said coquettishly, “Mother Empress, Wan’er misses you.”

The empress smiled and gently patted Ji Wan’s black and soft hair, saying gently, “You, you can come in whenever you miss your mother. Is there anything our Wan’er is afraid of?”

“But, I was put in confinement by Father Emperor, and he said it was your order.”

Ji Wan showed a cunning little expression, taking the opportunity to try and gain her freedom.

“Our Wan’er went out once and came back so obedient. She actually believed your father?”

The empress smiled and pinched Ji Wan’s smooth and tender little face.

“Ah? Father Emperor lied…” Ji Wan was about to figure out what was going on.

“Cough cough! Does Wan’er not miss Father Emperor?”

Ji Yuanhan had actually arrived earlier, but seeing the heartwarming scene between his wife and obedient daughter, he couldn’t help but stop and watch from a distance.

Everything was fine at first, but then his daughter started to “tattle.”

Seeing that his plan to deceive his daughter was about to be exposed, he quickly walked over and made a sound.

After all, his daughter was too clingy, and he and his wife couldn’t be together for that long.

So he let this naughty child play by herself in the mansion for a while.

“I do, I would miss you more if you didn’t keep me confined at home.” Ji Wan hugged her mother and looked at her father as she replied.

“You child, Father Emperor is doing this for your own good.” Ji Yuanhan was a little embarrassed and didn’t dare to look at his wife’s knowing and teasing expression.

“Hmph, I don’t believe you.” Ji Wan rolled a cute eye at her old man.

“Alright, stop making a fuss. Are you hungry? Let’s go eat.” The empress smiled at the father and daughter in front of her, mediating for Ji Yuanhan.

The family was in a harmonious and beautiful scene, which was both heartwarming and lovely.

But all of this fell into the eyes of Ji Minghao, who was hidden behind a tree not far away.

It was so dazzling.

Ji Minghao punched the large tree trunk in front of him.

Blood flowed down his knuckles.

But Ji Minghao felt nothing.

He clenched his fist, and angry bloodshot eyes appeared in his eyes.

“For my deceased mother, I will definitely get the Dragon’s Lair treasure and ascend to this supreme throne, and you…”

Ji Minghao didn’t continue. He flicked his sleeve and turned to leave.

Sitting at the round dining table.

Ji Wan was being fed by both of her parents, and the speed at which she ate couldn’t keep up with the speed at which the dishes were being put in her bowl.

But Ji Wan didn’t forget the main task. She didn’t come here just to eat.

After swallowing the food in her mouth, Ji Wan put her chopsticks on the side of the bowl.

She looked up at Ji Yuanhan and said, “Father Emperor, what is the reason you summoned me to the palace? It can’t be just for a meal, right?”

Ji Yuanhan’s hand holding the chopsticks trembled.

He couldn’t help but feel a little guilty.

He couldn’t possibly tell Ji Wan that he had too much to drink at the banquet that night and had promised his ministers to find a husband for Ji Wan, could he?

He remembered how the ministers’ eyes lit up after he agreed, and he felt a headache coming on.

After all, Ji Wan was his most beloved child, and also the empress’s legitimate daughter.

It was not unreasonable for those people to covet her.

Before, he could use the excuse that Ji Wan was still young, but now, looking at the graceful Ji Wan whose beauty could no longer be hidden.

Ji Yuanhan sighed.

After all, the emperor’s word was as good as gold, and it was hard to change what he had said.

“It’s nothing, I just want you to attend a banquet with other young people tonight.” Ji Yuanhan deliberately made things sound simple.

Otherwise, given his daughter’s personality, who knows how she would rebel.

The empress knew the inside story. She gave a faint glance at a certain person who “mishandled things while drunk.”

She remembered how he came back and showed off to her, bragging that he had arranged a blind date banquet for Wan’er.

She couldn’t help but want to laugh out loud.

“Wan’er can just treat it as a chance to make friends, and have fun.” The empress kindly helped Ji Yuanhan.

“All young people, huh.” Ji Wan thought, why does this sound so much like a mixer…

But Ji Wan was carefree. She didn’t care. Anyway, she would just go back to sleep after she finished eating, it was all the same.

Meanwhile, at the princess’s mansion, in an ordinary room.

Huangfu Yue was holding a book and sitting on a round chair by the desk.

Suddenly, a black figure appeared.

But Huangfu Yue’s expression didn’t show any panic from someone suddenly appearing.

“Your Highness,” Jiang Li knelt in front of Huangfu Yue and called out respectfully.

This was a woman, and her figure showed that she had been trained for many years.

She was tall and capable.

She was dressed in all black, and her face was covered with a black veil.

Only her heroic eyebrows and a pair of amber eyes were exposed, which were very impressive.

If the bandits of Qingfeng寨 were to see this, they would definitely be shocked.

Their leader, the head of the whole mountain, the great leader.

Was kneeling to their usually low-key second leader.

“Mm, get up.”

Huangfu Yue’s expression was indifferent, and she was still holding the unfinished book of medical recipes.

“Your Highness, those people are ready to make a move.” Jiang Li’s steady and strong voice said lowly.

“When.” Huangfu Yue gently turned a page of her book.

It was as if she didn’t care about those people at all.

“Tonight, at the princess’s banquet in the palace.” Jiang Li briefly and clearly stated the information.

“Princess?” Huangfu Yue’s gaze on the book paused.

Jiang Li thought Huangfu Yue wanted to know more detailed information, so she continued.

“It’s Princess Ji Wan. Tonight is a blind date banquet arranged for her. Many talented young men will be attending, and those people want to use this to get Princess Ji Wan.”

“Say that again, what banquet is Ji Wan attending?” Huangfu Yue didn’t hear anything else, she only caught the information about Ji Wan.

The strength of her hand holding the page of the book increased.

Her expression couldn’t help but turn cold.

Jiang Li felt a chill.

But she still braced herself and continued.

“It’s Princess Ji Wan’s blind date banquet. Ji Yuanhan wants to find a person among those men to marry her to.”
