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

Jiang Weilan smiled and said, "Ning'er, I heard from Father that His Majesty is going to send the Fourth Prince to provide disaster relief. You helped with this, didn't you?"

Qi Ning nodded: "I only said a few words to His Majesty. His Majesty originally intended to send the Fifth Prince, but later changed his mind."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Weilan quickly grabbed Qi Ning's hand: "It's fortunate that you helped. This matter is a rare opportunity to make a contribution. Thank you for fighting for the Fourth Prince."

“I’ve said it before: I don’t need anyone to teach me how to do things. Everything I do is planned by me, just like this incident.”

“You’re right. I was confused before,” Jiang Weilan agreed.

Qi Ning didn't bring up the previous matter again; she still remembered to remind them to avoid unrest among the disaster victims.

"By the way, Sister Lan, you've come at the perfect time. There's something I need to tell you."

"what's up?"

"There is a high possibility that there will be unrest among the disaster victims during this relief effort. Please tell the Fourth Prince to bring more people with him."

"Disaster relief unrest?" Jiang Weilan frowned.

"Yes."

"No way," Jiang Weilan said. "Weren't we going to provide disaster relief? The victims should be grateful. How could there be a riot? I've never heard of anything like this before."

Qi Ning suddenly laughed: "Just because it hasn't happened before doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. You pampered people who have grown up in luxury can't understand the feelings of those disaster victims."

“You don’t know that when people are hungry, they will do many uncontrollable things, and it is not impossible for unrest to occur. I have been an ordinary citizen and experienced disasters, so I understand those disaster victims better than you do.”

"There are some things that must be guarded against, otherwise it will be difficult to make amends if something goes wrong. You can pass these words on to the Fourth Prince. I am just giving you a friendly reminder. You can make the decision yourselves."

After listening, Jiang Weilan nodded solemnly: "Alright, I will pass on the message to the Fourth Prince."

After leaving Qi Ning, Jiang Weilan went to find Gao Yun and relayed Qi Ning's words to him.

Gao Yun initially thought it was nonsense and didn't take it seriously.

“We are going to provide disaster relief, how could there be any unrest? There has never been any unrest among disaster victims during disaster relief before. Besides, even if something happens, the local government will handle it.”

Jiang Weilan had no choice but to repeat Qi Ning's words to Gao Yun, word by word.

“Your Highness, I think Ning’er’s words make sense. Better safe than sorry, it’s always better to be cautious.”

Fortunately, Gao Yun listened to the emperor's advice and went to request more men, which the emperor eventually granted.

Not long after, Gao Yan received the news.

"Why did Gao Yun bring so many people to the disaster relief effort?"

Chen Song then explained the whole story to Gao Yan.

"Disaster relief unrest?"

Gao Yan hadn't considered this point either.

"Did Gao Yun come up with this himself?" Gao Yan asked.

"Your Majesty has investigated carefully, and it is said that it was Consort Qi who came up with the idea."

"It's her again..."

"That's right, this Consort Qi is indeed not simple. I just don't know if what she said is true or false. If she is right, then she has done the Fourth Prince a great favor."

Three days later, Gao Yun and the minister in charge of disaster relief set off together with provisions, soldiers and officers to Peiyuan County to provide disaster relief.

A few days later, news suddenly came from Peiyuan County.

It is said that a group of disaster victims were dissatisfied with the distribution of relief grain, feeling that the distribution was unfair and suspecting that someone had embezzled the relief grain, which led to the unrest.

The person who instigated the riot gathered several hundred people. If the county yamen runners and disaster relief personnel from Peiyuan County were to be relied upon alone, they certainly wouldn't be able to suppress these hundreds of people.

Fortunately, Gao Yun brought enough men this time to suppress the unrest in time and capture the people who started it.

Gao Yan was naturally somewhat surprised when he learned of this news.

He never expected that Qi Ning's prediction would come true; a riot involving disaster victims had indeed broken out.

Qi Ning couldn't possibly possess the ability to predict the future, yet her casual remark inadvertently did Gao Yun a huge favor, allowing him to not only contribute to disaster relief but also gain merit in suppressing a rebellion.

If Qi Ning hadn't persuaded the emperor to change his mind, and the emperor had assigned Gao Yan to handle the disaster relief, Gao Yan wouldn't have considered this issue. With insufficient manpower in the face of unrest, there could have been a major disaster.

In a way, although Qi Ning snatched the opportunity to make a contribution from Gao Yun this time, he also saved Gao Yan from a disaster.

Gao Yan's feelings were somewhat complicated.

Chen Song sighed from the side, "This Consort Qi is indeed quite something. Not only can she speak well of the Fourth Prince and the others in front of His Majesty, but she can also come up with ideas to turn misfortune into good fortune and resolve a potential problem. If only Consort Qi were on our side."

Upon hearing the last sentence, Gao Yan looked at Chen Song.

Chen Song realized he might have said something wrong and quickly shut up.

About half a month later, Gao Yun successfully completed his disaster relief mission in Peiyuan County and also suppressed a rebellion.

Moreover, before they left, it rained, which promptly alleviated the drought.

Gao Yun won the hearts of the people on this trip. The people even attributed the rain to him, believing that it was the Fourth Prince who blessed the people and that's why it rained.

Even the officials in the imperial court believed that Gao Yun had made a great contribution this time.

After Gao Yun returned to report, the emperor naturally rewarded him handsomely.

However, the emperor's wariness and fear of Gao Yun deepened even further.

At first, Gao Yun was naturally very happy, but gradually, he realized that something was wrong.

He wanted to make a name for himself, win the hearts of the people and the emperor's praise, but recently he had become too popular, which was not a good thing.

Gao Yun was able to realize this, and Gao Yan was naturally able to realize it as well.

Gao Yan immediately instructed Chen Song: "Go, arrange for people to spread the news among the people, continue to praise Gao Yun, say that he has the talent of a crown prince and should be made the crown prince."

"In addition, find a few more officials to submit a memorial directly, asking His Majesty to follow the will of the people and establish the Fourth Prince as the Crown Prince."

Upon hearing this order, Chen Song immediately understood: "Your Highness, are you planning to praise the Fourth Prince to his death?"

“That’s right.” Gao Yan nodded slightly.

“But what if His Majesty really listens to the opinions of the people and court officials and appoints the fourth prince as the crown prince?” Chen Song said cautiously.

"Will not."

Gao Yan is very certain of this.

"Father has always valued imperial power and never intended to establish an heir so early. Since the Third Prince's rebellion two years ago, he has become even more wary. You can go ahead and do it."

"Yes, Wei Chen understands."

Qi Ning learned about Gao Yan's arrangements from the system immediately.

She chuckled, "You're a promising student."
