Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Revenge

Consort Ning and Chu Yiyao lived close by, and Consort Ning was easy to get along with. Unlike the other concubines, Consort Ning never targeted Chu Yiyao, so their relationship was quite good.

After entering the palace, Chu Yiyao was made a concubine and became the most favored concubine, enjoying immense popularity. However, she always thought about escaping.

After an argument with Xiao Jin, Chu Yiyao, in desperation, sought out Ning Jieyu, asking if she knew any way to leave the palace and if she could help her escape.

Ning Jieyu was an extremely cautious person who only wanted to live peacefully in the harem. She would never dare to help Chu Yiyao escape from the palace.

After she refused, Chu Yiyao did not insist.

However, this brief conversation was overheard by someone arranged by Xiao Jin, who then reported it to the authorities.

Xiao Jin didn't care whether Ning Jieyu agreed or not. He directly issued an order to beat Ning Jieyu to death in front of Chu Yiyao.

He wanted Chu Yiyao to know that she couldn't have even the slightest thought of leaving the palace, otherwise she would be fine, but others would be implicated and die because of her.

Ning Jieyu was thus tragically made an example of.

Chu Yiyao witnessed Ning Jieyu's tragic death because of her, and the guilt and fear she felt shocked and devastated her.

Actually, this wasn't the first time Xiao Jin had used this tactic.

Qi Ning's arrival in the palace coincided with the time when a concubine in the harem attempted to drug Xiao Jin with an aphrodisiac. After being discovered, she was beaten to death, and Xiao Jin even made sure that all the concubines in the harem witnessed the execution.

The original owner witnessed the bloody scene and fainted on the spot, which is how Qi Ning transmigrated into the body of the original owner.

Qi Ning wasn't too surprised after reading the plot. In a dynasty where imperial power was supreme, countless people died tragically, and she had seen it all before.

However, Ning Jieyu's death was indeed very innocent.

No wonder she was willing to pay the price of her soul for revenge.

"What is the mission?" Qi Ning asked the system.

The system replied: "The original owner had two wishes:

First, after the original owner died, her family was also implicated, so she hoped to protect her family and relatives.

Second, Xiao Jin used the original owner of this body as a warning to others because Chu Yiyao wanted to escape the palace. Therefore, she hoped to take revenge on Xiao Jin, send Chu Yiyao out of the palace, and then kill him, letting him die in the pain of losing Chu Yiyao.

When Qi Ning heard the first task, she didn't react much, but the second task almost made her burst out laughing.

The original owner not only wanted Xiao Jin to pay with his life, but also wanted to destroy his spirit.

It seems that the original owner truly hated Xiao Jin to the core.

"System, you really think highly of me, assigning me a task like assassinating a tyrant right off the bat."

The system retorted confidently, "Host, didn't you also kill Emperor Mo Lianyi before you died?"

It paused, then added weakly, "Although it didn't succeed... I believe you have the ability!"

Qi Ning stopped dwelling on the question. Instead, she was curious: "Logically speaking, the original owner's execution was also related to Chu Yiyao, so why didn't she blame her at all and even wanted to send her out of the palace?"

The system said, "The original owner was kind-hearted and believed that the wronged should be held accountable. She knew about Chu Yiyao's experiences after her death and felt that she was also a pitiful person."

That's true.

In the original storyline, after the original owner died, Chu Yiyao experienced a miscarriage, the death of a child, three escape attempts that resulted in her being captured and brought back to the palace three times, and many other hardships. In the end, she gave birth to the crown prince and became a Noble Consort.

She could have become Empress Dowager when the Crown Prince ascended the throne, but Chu Yiyao didn't care at all.

She threatened to kill herself in order to leave the palace, which finally led Xiao Jin to hand over the throne to the Crown Prince and take Chu Yiyao out of the palace, giving her so-called "freedom".

After leaving the palace, Chu Yiyao could only stay in the capital and open an embroidery shop, and was still entangled by Xiao Jin for the rest of her life.

He was indeed a pitiful person.

Qi Ning nodded, then asked the system, "What about Zhou Xun'an?"

There is no content about Zhou Xun'an in the original plot or in the original owner's memories.

"Zhou Xun'an is not his real name in the mission world. In this world, his soul fragments are using Xiao Yu's body."

Xiao Yu?

Upon hearing this name, Qi Ning quickly recalled the details about him from the original storyline.

Xiao Yu was not a prince of the late emperor, but the son of one of Xiao Jin's cousins, making him Xiao Jin's nephew.

Since Xiao Jin's cousin had already passed away, Xiao Yu had inherited the title and become a prince instead of a heir apparent.

Although they are uncle and nephew of different generations, Xiao Yu and Xiao Jin are not that far apart in age; he is only two years younger than Xiao Jin.

Xiao Yu not only had no interest in the throne, but was also extremely loyal to his uncle, Xiao Jin.

That is why Xiao Jin treated his imperial nephew quite well.

When Emperor Xiao Jin personally led the expedition, Xiao Yu was appointed as his deputy general and accompanied him.

However, on the way back to the capital, Xiao Yu was ambushed by rebels and lost his life while trying to save the emperor.

Xiao Yu, who died early in the original story, is still alive in this mission world, but Xiao Yu's true soul has already been reincarnated, and now his body is inhabited by fragments of Zhou Xun'an's soul.

"Does he have his original memories?" Qi Ning asked.

"of course not!"

The system emphasized: "Although the host and Zhou Xun'an both entered another person's body through their souls, his soul is incomplete and therefore he has no memories of his previous life."

"Moreover, Zhou Xun'an's soul fragments arrived in the mission world more than a year before the host, and had already merged with the host's memories. His personality also tends to be similar to the host's personality. In his mind, he is Xiao Yu himself!"

"Host, you need to be mentally prepared for this."

Qi Ning frowned: "If that's the case, don't you think it's a bit unreasonable that you want me to kill the emperor and also to seduce a prince who is loyal to the emperor? Can't you change the host body?"

Xiao Yu was willing to die to protect the emperor. If he knew that Qi Ning had murdered the emperor, how could she possibly win him over?

The system quickly explained, "Host, Zhou Xun'an's situation is different from yours. The task of obtaining his affection points was not originally included; it was added because of the host's special request."

"His soul fragments need to find a host, and this host cannot be just any one. At least several conditions must be met. In addition to the host dying within the last few years, we also need to consider the host's connection to the plot, as well as his identity and appearance, etc."

"In short, finding a suitable host in the mission world is not easy. Host, please trust the system's big data. The host we have selected is absolutely the best in all aspects!"

After hearing the system's explanation, Qi Ning responded with a solemn expression.

In reality, there was no difficulty level for her in any task; she had to complete them all.

She didn't haggle when she was working as a spy for Mo Lianyi, so after the system explained it clearly, Qi Ning didn't ask any more questions.

Moreover, the missions in this world are not too difficult for Qi Ning, and she already has a preliminary plan in mind.

Just then, the young palace maid from before entered with other palace servants. They helped Qi Ning with her makeup and arranged her meals.

From the original owner's memories, Qi Ning already knew that this little palace maid was named Qiu Lu, and was the maid who had taken care of the original owner since childhood. She was honest, dutiful, and loyal.

In the original storyline, after the original owner was beaten to death, Qiu Lu voluntarily sacrificed herself to follow in her master's footsteps.

After being served his meal, Qi Ning instructed, "Qiu Lu, have the imperial kitchen prepare a chicken soup. We'll send it to His Majesty in a little while."

"Miss?"

Qiu Lu was greatly surprised.

His Majesty currently has only a dozen or so concubines in his harem, and most of them have died for various reasons.

Our Lady has always known how to protect herself wisely, never provoking the favored Consort Yao, nor attempting to compete for the Emperor's favor.

Moreover, yesterday Consort Chen was beaten to death for putting aphrodisiac in the soup she sent to His Majesty, and my own lady was so frightened that she fainted. Why is she going to send soup to His Majesty today?

Qi Ning looked at Qiu Lu's bewildered and shocked round face and chuckled softly.

She didn't explain much, but instead took Qiu Lu's hand and patted it: "Go and make the arrangements."

Qiu Lu was used to obeying her master's orders. After hesitating for a moment, she still accepted the order and left.

Although we don't know why Consort Jieyu did this, she must have had her reasons.

Qi Ning was quite satisfied with Qiu Lu, this little girl.

It wasn't just Qiu Lu who didn't understand Qi Ning's actions; even the system didn't understand them.

Qiu Lu didn't ask any more questions, but the system couldn't hold back any longer. It frantically cried out in Qi Ning's mind: "Host, why are you going to deliver soup to the emperor? Yesterday, Consort Chen was beaten to death for delivering soup. Aren't you just going to your death?"

"Was Chen Chongyi beaten to death for delivering soup? Wasn't it because she put aphrodisiacs in the soup?"

"But...but Xiao Jin isn't a normal person. Even without being drugged, it's still dangerous..."

Xiao Jin only had Chu Yiyao in his heart; everyone else who tried to win his favor met a tragic end.

"Alright!" Qi Ning interrupted the system directly.

"When I'm doing a task, I don't like people constantly nagging and asking why."

When she worked as a spy for Mo Lianyi, no one dared to ask why.

Even Mo Lianyi wouldn't ask, partly because he believed in Qi Ning's abilities, and partly because he only cared about the results.

system:"……"

Dared not speak.jpg

For some reason, the system felt that its host had entered mission mode, and it could vaguely see the murderous intent in her eyes.

Not long after, Qiu Lu took a bowl of chicken soup from the imperial kitchen and returned to Yongning Palace, where Consort Ning lived.

Qi Ning glanced at the chicken soup and said to Qiu Lu, "Let's go to the Imperial Study."

"Yes," Qiu Lu replied.

She thought to herself, thankfully her mistress only glanced at the soup and didn't put anything in it, so she shouldn't offend His Majesty like Consort Chen did.

So she carried the food box and followed behind Qi Ning.

Qi Ning followed the route in her memory toward the Imperial Study, as her current rank did not qualify her to ride in a palanquin.

Fortunately, Chang Le Palace, where Chu Yiyao lived, was very close to the Imperial Study, and Yong Ning Palace was not far from Chang Le Palace, so it wasn't too far for Qi Ning to walk to the Imperial Study.

Just as Qi Ning was about to reach the entrance of the Imperial Study, she saw a eunuch escorting a man who looked like a prince or nobleman out from afar.

"Host, the person who just came out of the Imperial Study is Xiao Yu!" the system promptly reminded.

He is Xiao Yu...

Qi Ning's gaze became even more focused as she tried to find similarities between the man and Zhou Xun'an, since Zhou Xun'an's soul fragments were in him.

However, Zhou Xun'an himself was a scholarly, gentle, and refined gentleman, while the man in the distance had an air of nobility, making him a completely different person from Zhou Xun'an.

"System, you're not lying to me, are you? Is Zhou Xun'an's soul really living inside that person's body?" Qi Ning asked with a hint of doubt.

"Of course it's true! Host, don't worry, I wouldn't dare lie to you!"

"Furthermore, your impression of Zhou Xun'an is mostly from when you were children. After the reunion, you didn't have many opportunities to spend time together. How do you know he hasn't changed during the twelve years you were separated?"

Qi Ning was uncharacteristically speechless: "You're right."

The soul is something that cannot be seen with the naked eye.

At this moment, Xiao Yu, who was not far away, also noticed the master and servant walking slowly towards the imperial study.

The woman walking in front was dressed in palace attire, her appearance quite simple, with a beautiful face and gentle features.

She looks unfamiliar; I've never seen her before. She's probably one of the imperial uncle's concubines.

The two exchanged a glance in mid-air. The woman in palace attire quickly lowered her eyes, and Xiao Yu immediately looked away as well.

"Your Highness, it's Consort Ning," the young eunuch whispered, bowing his head.

Xiao Yu hummed in agreement.

Since the emperor's uncle's concubines were considered his aunts, and he was an elder, Xiao Yu bowed and greeted Consort Ning when he approached her, saying, "Greetings, Consort Ning."

“Your Highness, there’s no need for such formalities,” Qi Ning replied softly.

Xiao Yu stepped aside to make way: "Consort Ning, please go first."

Qi Ning nodded slightly, and then led Qiu Lu toward the Imperial Study.

The young eunuch continued to escort Xiao Yu out of the palace.

Xiao Yu is the only nephew of the current emperor. A year ago, when the emperor was attacked, Prince Yu loyally protected him and almost lost his life, which earned him the emperor's trust.

Perhaps in an attempt to curry favor with Xiao Yu, the young eunuch brought up the matter: "Your Highness should have heard that yesterday, Consort Chen sent soup to His Majesty, but she put aphrodisiacs in it. His Majesty discovered this and ordered her to be beaten to death, and even made all the concubines in the palace come to witness the execution."

Xiao Yu had indeed heard about this matter.

However, as a junior, he shouldn't interfere too much in matters concerning his uncle's harem.

He glanced at the young eunuch: "So?"

His Highness Prince Yu has always been approachable and down-to-earth.

Seeing his interest, the young eunuch replied meaningfully, "Just now I saw the palace maid behind Consort Ning carrying a food box, which looked like she was also bringing soup to His Majesty."

The implication is that this Consort Ning is truly fearless in her quest for the emperor's favor, and her chances of survival are slim.

Xiao Yu didn't say anything, but he frowned slightly.

On the other side, Qi Ning brought Qiu Lu to the door of the Imperial Study.

Qi Ning gave Qiu Lu a look.

Qiu Lu hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward.

She said to the young eunuch guarding the door of the Imperial Study, "Please inform His Majesty that our Consort Jieyu has come to deliver soup to His Majesty."
