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

Qi Ning listened carefully; the footsteps sounded very familiar.

It is Qi Jingyu.

Even after Qi Ning realized what was happening, she remained calm and pretended to be asleep with her eyes closed.

The original owner was timid and afraid of the dark when she was young, and she had a habit of leaving a small light on when she went to bed, a habit that continued until she grew up.

Even after Qi Ning transmigrated, she still maintained the original owner's habits.

At this moment, she slightly opened her eyes and could see a shadow approaching the bed step by step in the dim light.

Soon, the bed curtains were gently lifted, and the figure stood by the bed for a while before sitting down.

Qi Jingyu looked at Qi Ning, who was lying on her side and fast asleep. He reached out his hand, wanting to stroke Qi Ning's cheek.

Just as his hand touched Qi Ning's cheek, she pretended to be startled and sat up in bed, even making a scream.

Qi Jingyu quickly covered her lips: "Ning'er, don't be afraid, it's me."

Qi Ning stared wide-eyed at Qi Jingyu, her hands still clutching the blanket to her chest.

"It's my fault, I scared you," Qi Jingyu said.

Qi Ning pulled Qi Jingyu's hand away from her lips: "Second brother?"

"Ah."

"Winter Month..."

Qi Ning suddenly remembered that Dong Yue was keeping watch for her on the small couch in the outer room.

"Don't worry, your maid won't wake up for a while."

Qi Ning then shook off Qi Jingyu's hand and snorted, "Why are you here?"

His tone carried a hint of accusation.

“I want to see you,” Qi Jingyu replied, looking at her.

Qi Jingyu was indeed very busy, but the busier he was, the more he missed Qi Ning.

He did want to summon Qi Ning to the palace, but he didn't seem to have a suitable reason.

He was reviewing memorials tonight, but he couldn't stand it any longer, so he threw down his pen and quietly came over.

Given his current status, if he were to openly visit the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, he would inevitably have to accept the kowtows of those people, which would be very troublesome. Moreover, he would not be able to spend time with Qi Ning in private.

Qi Jingyu knew that breaking into Qi Ning's boudoir at night was inappropriate and would damage her reputation.

But he thought that he and Qi Ning had shared a room before; they had even spent a night together in the cabin at the bottom of the cliff.

He just wanted to sneak away to see Qi Ning once, and then leave.

Who knew that Qi Ning would suddenly wake up.

But after Qi Ning woke up, Qi Jingyu could see her sleepy eyes and hear her call him "Second Brother," but he felt it was better that she was awake.

Upon hearing Qi Jingyu say "I want to see you," Qi Ning replied sarcastically, "Your Majesty is so busy with state affairs, yet you still remember a nobody like me and even made a special trip to see me. It is truly an honor for this humble woman."

Qi Jingyu was both amused and exasperated.

"Are you mad at me?"

Qi Ning turned her head away: "How dare I? I wouldn't dare to be angry with His Majesty."

Qi Jingyu listened to her calling him "Your Majesty" repeatedly, but she wasn't afraid of him at all.

"I didn't mean to not come to see you, I've just been a bit busy lately. I would like to invite you into the palace, but it's against the rules."

After all, Qi Ning was no longer his sister, but an unmarried young woman, and Qi Jingyu was mindful of her reputation.

Qi Ning muttered, "I know His Majesty is busy, how could he have time to meet with me?"

Qi Jingyu reached out and took Qi Ning's hand: "It's all my fault, please don't call me Your Majesty anymore."

Qi Ning struggled, but couldn't break free; instead, Qi Jingyu held her even tighter.

"Actually, I want you to enter the palace openly and legitimately, but that requires your permission," Qi Jingyu said meaningfully.

Qi Ning pretended not to understand: "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, Ning'er, would you be willing to be my empress?" Qi Jingyu no longer concealed his intentions and asked, staring into her eyes.

His sudden directness startled Qi Ning for a moment.

Qi Jingyu smiled when he saw her dazed expression.

"What do you think? If Ning'er becomes my empress, she can stay with me in the palace."

"Who wants to go to the palace to keep you company?" Qi Ning muttered.

Qi Jingyu asked her, "Don't you want to stay with me?"

Qi Ning gave a vague answer: "I...I don't know."

Qi Jingyu's mood fluctuated.

He felt somewhat helpless, yet there was nothing he could do about Qi Ning.

However, although she didn't directly agree to his proposal, she didn't reject him either, so there seems to be a glimmer of hope.

Moreover, Qi Jingyu knew Qi Ning quite well; she was always stubborn and unwilling to admit her true thoughts.

"Alright, let's not talk about that for now."

Qi Jingyu lowered his eyes, gently rubbed her palm, and then changed the subject, asking her, "What have you been doing in the manor these past few days?"

"I didn't do anything," Qi Ning replied. "After I came back, apart from visiting Qi Jinglin and Madam Du, everything else was the same as usual."

"You went to see Qi Jinglin and Madam Du?" Qi Jingyu frowned slightly and looked up at Qi Ning.

Qi Ning hummed in agreement and asked him, "You were the one who did the deed to Qi Jinglin's leg, weren't you?"

"Yes."

"You were so busy that day, yet you still remembered something like this."

"How could I forget what I promised you?" Qi Jingyu said. "Although that day was busy, it was the best time to make my move."

Moreover, Qi Jingyu did not know in advance whether his operation that day would succeed. If it failed, he would have no chance to fulfill his promise to her.

Qi Ning blinked and said, "Qi Jinglin is seriously injured. He probably won't be able to get out of bed for the rest of his life."

"Do you think I went too far?"

"No," Qi Ning denied.

"That's good." Qi Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought you were worried about our sibling relationship and felt that I went too far."

For the sake of Qi Congming and Qi Ning, Qi Jingyu has already toned down his behavior.

Otherwise, Qi Jinglin's situation would be far more serious than just being paralyzed in bed.

“What brother-sister relationship? He has never really treated me like a sister. Now that he has become like this, it is his own fault.” Qi Ning said, leaning against the corner of the bed and hugging the quilt.

Qi Jingyu looked at her for a while, then suddenly pulled her: "Ning'er, come closer, don't cower in the corner."

"What did you do in the past?" Qi Ning asked, puzzled.

"You come here first."

Qi Jingyu gently tugged at her hand again, his tone carrying a hint of coaxing as he spoke.

Qi Ning was only wearing a thin undergarment. She hesitated for a moment, then loosened the blanket and moved closer to Qi Jingyu.

"I'm here, what's up?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Jingyu pulled her into his arms, his arm around her waist.

Qi Ning was startled. She pressed against Qi Jingyu's chest and asked, "What are you doing?"

Qi Jingyu didn't do anything immediately, but simply held her soft body and asked, "You said you don't have any brotherly or sisterly feelings for Qi Jinglin, so what about me?"

"To you?" Qi Ning hadn't expected that he had pulled her over just to ask this question.

"Yes."

"Of course it does for you."

"have what?"

"The bond between siblings."

"Is it only a brother-sister relationship?" Qi Jingyu asked again.

"What else?" Qi Ning asked instead of answering.

"With only brotherly and sisterly affection, Ning'er tacitly allowed me to be alone with you in a room? And tacitly allowed me to hold your hand? And tacitly allowed me to hug you?"

"That's because...you barged into my bedroom without my permission, you forcibly grabbed my hand, and you tricked me into coming over and hugging me..."

"Then why didn't you push me away? Why didn't you kick me out?"

"I tried to push, but I couldn't move you. Besides, you've already knocked my maid unconscious. How can I kick you out by myself?"

"I see." Qi Jingyu said thoughtfully.

“Of course,” Qi Ning protested. “Besides, you’re different now. You’re the emperor. How could I dare to send someone to drive you away?”

"So that's how it is. It's because I'm the emperor. But I remember before I was the emperor, you allowed me to hold you in the study of Yinqing Pavilion."

“Then…” Qi Ning trailed off.

"I wasn't the emperor back then. Prince Qing was your fiancé. Would you have allowed Prince Qing to treat you like that?"

"I……"

Qi Jingyu watched as Qi Ning's face slowly turned red, a smile spreading across his face.

"Can't you just admit that you treat me differently too?"

"What's different?" Qi Ning asked angrily, shoving him forcefully. "You can't do it now!"

Qi Jingyu chuckled and pulled Qi Ning back with a forceful pull.

With a little effort, it was indeed difficult for Qi Ning, with her small frame, to push him away.

"Let me go!"

"Don't let it go."

"Qi Jingyu!"

"Shh, keep your voice down, or you'll wake up Dongyue outside."

Qi Ning glared at him, her lips slightly pursed in anger.

Qi Jingyu stared at her lips for a while, then suddenly called her name.

"Ning'er."
