Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Revenge
Chapter 221 The Vicious Young Lady of a Noble Family (57 pages)
The moment Qi Ning's bridal sedan chair left the Changping Marquis's residence, Qi Jingyu and Qi Congming's actions began.
After Prince Qing welcomed Qi Ning from the Marquis of Changping's residence, according to the agenda, the bridal sedan chair was to circle the city once before heading to Prince Qing's residence.
At this moment, the Prince Qing's mansion was brightly decorated and bustling with activity, filled with a joyous atmosphere.
The Emperor and Empress personally visited the Prince Qing's residence, accompanied by a host of princes and princesses.
In addition, many imperial relatives, noble families, and ministers of the court and their families also attended the event.
It can be said that all the prominent figures in the capital have gathered at Prince Qing's wedding banquet today.
There are many people who want to attend a wedding banquet but are not qualified to attend, but there is no one who is so tactless as to not want to attend.
After all, Prince Qing is currently the emperor's most favored prince and one of the most likely to become the crown prince. In addition, with the emperor and empress personally present, no one would dare to offend the emperor.
Just as everyone gathered at Prince Qing's mansion, waiting for Prince Qing to return to fetch his bride, Qi secretly mobilized his soldiers and stormed into the palace with lightning speed.
At the same time, another group of people acted swiftly, surrounding the bustling Prince Qing's mansion like an iron barrel, naturally trapping all the guests inside as well.
At that time, Prince Qing's bridal sedan chair was still halfway there when suddenly a guard rode a fast horse towards Prince Qing's location.
"Your Highness Prince Qing, Your Highness Prince Qing, something terrible has happened!"
The smug smile on Prince Qing's face froze. He raised his hand, signaling the wedding procession behind him to stop.
The guard rode up to Prince Qing, immediately jumped off his horse, and knelt on the ground.
"What happened?" Prince Qing asked.
"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! Some traitor has taken advantage of His Majesty's absence from the palace to attend Your Highness's wedding banquet and led troops into the palace. They have also surrounded the Prince Qing's residence, and His Majesty and the other guests are now trapped inside!"
"What?!" Prince Qing was shocked.
"Who is the traitor?" he asked immediately.
The guard who came to deliver the message replied, "Your Highness, we don't know. The identities of those traitors are still unknown!"
Prince Qing would never have imagined that one of these "traitors" was Qi Congming, the father of his future princess and his father-in-law.
After all, no one would rebel when their daughter is getting married, and Prince Qing was confident that Qi Congming was eager to marry his daughter to him and would not possibly ruin the wedding banquet.
Moreover, Qi Congming was at the Marquis of Changping's residence when he went to pick up the bride, so Prince Qing would have even less reason to suspect him.
Prince Qing had a gloomy face. He glanced back at the bridal sedan chair behind him, thinking that the Prince Qing's mansion was in danger at this time. He could not take the bride there, nor could he send the bride back.
He ordered, "Half of you will follow me to Prince Qing's residence to rescue the princess. The other half will stay here to protect her. If anything happens to her, I will hold you accountable!"
"Yes, I obey!"
After giving his orders, Prince Qing hurriedly led half of his men to Prince Qing's residence at full speed, while the other half guarded around Qi Ning's bridal sedan chair, protecting it completely.
Qi Ning, sitting in the bridal sedan chair, naturally heard everything that was happening outside clearly.
"girl?"
"Girl, are you okay?"
Dongyue and Dongxue asked from outside the bridal sedan chair.
As maids accompanying the bride, they naturally followed the wedding procession.
No one but the groom was allowed to open the bridal sedan chair at will, so the two maids could only stand guard outside the sedan chair.
"I'm fine," Qi Ning replied.
"Miss, don't be afraid, we servants are guarding outside."
"it is good."
After Prince Qing left, there was indeed some chaos around the bridal sedan chair. As the chaos gradually subsided, three knocking sounds came from outside the sedan chair.
This was an inside man arranged by Qi Jingyu exchanging coded messages with her, implying that she was being protected and that she didn't need to panic.
Qi Ning responded by gently tapping three times inside.
At this moment, there were still people left by Prince Qing guarding outside the bridal sedan chair. The people arranged by Qi Jingyu would not easily reveal their identities and take Qi Ning away unless absolutely necessary. All they could do now was wait for news.
If something unexpected happens to Qi Jingyu, these inside agents will risk leading Qi Ning to break through the encirclement and escape from the capital.
Earlier, Qi Jingyu had told Qi Ning to sit in the bridal sedan chair and wait for him to come and pick her up, and not to make any rash moves.
Moreover, news of a rebellion was slowly spreading, and the streets were becoming chaotic. There was no need for Qi Ning to run out; she should just sit quietly in the bridal sedan chair and wait for Qi Jingyu to arrive so as not to cause him any trouble.
After Qi Ning responded to the inside man by tapping on the bridal sedan chair, she asked the system, "How are things going with Qi Jingyu and the others? Nothing unexpected happened, right?"
The system quickly replied, "Don't worry, host, this is in the bag!"
"That's good."
Qi Ning calmed down and waited patiently in the bridal sedan chair.
She had anticipated this outcome, and to keep herself entertained while waiting, she had secretly hidden some dried fruit in her sleeve to pass the time.
The system quipped, "Host, I think you need a handful of sunflower seeds right now."
Qi Ning laughed: "If it weren't for the fact that it's not very elegant to eat melon seeds in a bridal sedan chair, and there's no tea inside, I would really like to try it."
"Besides, if I'm too leisurely, wouldn't I seem too carefree, since Qi Jingyu is still busy?"
The system replied, "It seems so."
Qi Ning was so relaxed mainly because Qi Jingyu was confident of victory and didn't need Qi Ning to worry about anything.
However, Qi Ning still asked the system, "Can I watch the live broadcast?"
"sure."
The system understood Qi Ning's thoughts.
Soon, a light screen appeared in front of Qi Ning, allowing her to view Qi Jingyu's situation in real time.
Since Qi Jingyu doesn't need to personally engage in combat, he won't face any danger.
At this moment, the emperor, princes, nobles, and ministers were all trapped in Prince Qing's mansion. For Qi Jingyu and his men, it was like catching turtles in a jar, an easy task.
As Qi Ning had predicted, Qi Jingyu and Qi Congming quickly led their troops to take control of the palace and arrested the emperor and others.
As for Prince Qing, he did want to mobilize troops, but he did not have the military tally. Apart from Qi Congming, all the other officials who held military power were trapped in Prince Qing's mansion and could not get out.
Prince Qing led his men to the Prince Qing Mansion, but they were ambushed and captured on the way.
After the situation was settled, Qi Jingyu immediately rode to where Qi Ning was.
Qi Ning waited in the bridal sedan chair for a short while before hearing the sound of horses' hooves outside, followed by shouts of "Protect the Princess!" and then the sounds of fighting.
Qi Ning's red veil had long been lifted. She looked at the sedan chair door, and soon the door was kicked open.
Qi Jingyu appeared at the entrance of the bridal sedan chair. He was dressed in a black robe, and there were a few drops of blood on his face, probably from someone else, which gave his face a somewhat murderous look.
He reached out his hand to Qi Ning: "Ning'er, come with me."
Qi Ning smiled and said, "Second brother, you've finally arrived."
She placed her hand in Qi Jingyu's hand.
Qi Jingyu held Qi Ning's hand with one hand and put his other arm around her waist, and then pulled her out of the bridal sedan chair.
"Second brother, did it work?" Qi Ning asked.
"Yes," Qi Jingyu replied with a smile.
He carried Qi Ning and helped her onto the horse, then he followed closely behind, protecting Qi Ning in front of him.
He whispered in her ear, "The overall situation is settled, but there are still some remnants that haven't been completely eliminated. Grandmother and Third Sister have already moved away, but the Marquis of Changping's residence is not safe for the time being. You should come back to the palace with me first."
"Okay." Qi Ning nodded.
Qi Jingyu gave a shout of "Giddy up!" and pulled on the reins, taking Qi Ning, who was dressed in a bright red wedding gown, with him on a single horse heading towards the palace.
His men followed in a long line.
Those on the roadside only saw a man in black robes carrying a woman in a red wedding dress riding at breakneck speed on the lead horse, disappearing into the street in a short while.
I didn't know that; I thought it was a case of a bride being kidnapped and the bride eloping.
Those from Prince Qing's mansion who were there to welcome the bride were terrified. They didn't know that Prince Qing and the Emperor had been arrested; all they knew was that Princess Qing had been kidnapped!
The two maids, Dongyue and Dongxue, were initially startled. After recognizing Qi Jingyu as the visitor, they were both surprised and confused, but not so afraid anymore.
Then, they watched helplessly as Qi Jingyu took Qi Ning away. The two looked at each other, completely bewildered.
Fortunately, Qi Jingyu left behind people to handle this mess, and they also took the two of them with them.
When Qi Jingyu brought Qi Ning back to the palace, it was already dark, but the palace was filled with lanterns, and the bright lights made the palace as bright as day.
He placed Qi Ning in a clean and safe palace and arranged for some reliable people to protect her.
"You can rest here for the night. I have some things to take care of. You may not be used to the maids here. I'll have someone send Dongyue and Dongxue over to serve you later."
Qi Ning knew, of course, that things were still in chaos inside and outside the palace, and everything was waiting for Qi Jingyu to make the decisions. It was already quite remarkable that he was able to take the time to personally bring her into the palace.
Not to mention that he considered everything so thoroughly, even worrying that the other palace maids wouldn't serve her well, he even took into account her two maids.
"I know, you go ahead and get busy," Qi Ning said.
Qi Jingyu looked at Qi Ning, then suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms, embracing her tightly.
Qi Ning was taken aback.
She didn't push him away; after a moment, she slowly reached out and hugged his waist.
Qi Jingyu felt the hands wrapped around his waist and chuckled softly.
Qi Ning whispered in his arms, "Second brother, don't worry about me, go ahead and do your work."
Qi Ning was now safe. Qi Jingyu wasn't worried about her; he just didn't want to leave her.
But he didn't say it aloud; instead, he silently responded.
He held her for a while longer before reluctantly letting go.
"I am leaving."
"Ah."
Qi Jingyu glanced at her before turning around and hurriedly leaving with the people outside.
After a night of turmoil, by the next morning, the entire palace had changed.
