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

Gao Xi asked, "Then what should I do? How can I completely eliminate any possibility of Consort Qi regaining favor?"

Seeing that Gao Xi had taken the bait, Feng Jieyu smiled smugly to herself. He really was just a little kid, so easy to fool.

On the surface, Consort Feng pretended to be considerate of her: "Ninth Princess, it's very simple, listen to me..."

Feng Jieyu leaned close to Gao Xi's ear and whispered her plan.

"Will this work?" Gao Xi asked, half-believing, half-doubting after hearing the story.

“Absolutely. His Majesty loves you the most, and he will definitely depose Consort Qi for your sake,” Consort Feng said decisively.

Gao Xi glared at Consort Feng and mercilessly exposed her: "Don't think I don't know, you're just jealous of Consort Qi and want Consort Qi to disappear!"

Consort Feng's face stiffened, but she quickly said, "That's right, so I'm just like you. We both want Consort Qi to disappear completely, which is why I wanted to plan with you."

Gao Xi pouted: "I need to go back and discuss it with my mother and brother before deciding whether or not to do this."

Consort Feng quickly grabbed her: "No, Ninth Princess, this matter cannot be discussed with Consort Shu and the Fifth Prince."

"Why can't I tell you?"

"Of course it's because Consort Shu and the Fifth Prince will worry about your safety and won't let you do anything dangerous. If you asked, they definitely wouldn't agree."

Gao Xi was still somewhat hesitant.

She then asked, "Since it's dangerous, why don't you do it?"

"That's because His Majesty no longer favors me. Even if Consort Qi harms me, His Majesty will not punish Consort Qi for my sake. But Princess, you are different. His Majesty loves you very much."

That's true," Gao Xi nodded.

Consort Feng then said, "Ninth Princess, once Consort Qi is gone, it will be a good thing for your brother, your mother, and you. I will have someone guarding the area so they can come out and rescue you in time. You will not be in any danger."

What if you don't save me?

"How could that be? How could I dare? Besides, if something happens to the princess, how can we identify Consort Qi?"

"Well, that's fine."

The Ninth Princess was still young, and although she was a little clever, she was still persuaded by Consort Feng's coaxing.

Unbeknownst to them, their discussion, because it threatened Qi Ning's life, was immediately monitored by the system.

The system promptly informed Qi Ning of this matter.

"Host, there are quite a few people who want to harm you. This Feng Jieyu is malicious and actually wants to use children to frame you. You should be careful and stay home as much as possible. If you don't go out, they won't have a chance to make a move."

Qi Ning found it quite interesting after listening to it.

"Why should I hide? Can I hide forever?"

"Host, you mean you knew they wanted to harm you, yet you still went out?"

Qi Ning hummed in agreement: "I'm asking you, is the Ninth Princess Gao Yan's younger sister?"

“Yes,” the system said. “It’s precisely because the Ninth Princess is Gao Yan’s younger sister that if she succeeds in framing you, Gao Yan will definitely hate you even more, and your strategy will be doomed.”

"No, she's Gao Yan's sister, which is perfect. This is a rare opportunity, and it's a good time to turn the tables on her."

There's no time to lose; it would be bad if the little princess changed her mind.

So, the next day, Qi Ning took Ji Mei for a walk around Lingbo Lake.

On the third day, she took Ji Mei to the lakeside alone again.

For two consecutive days, Qi Ning went to Lingbo Lake, accompanied only by a young palace maid. Consort Feng believed she had found a pattern.

She felt that even God was helping her, and she couldn't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so she went to persuade the Ninth Princess again.

Feng Jieyu had no idea that Qi Ning already knew all their plans.

Princess Jiu was also persuaded by Consort Feng, and the two planned and prepared to take action.

The system told Qi Ning, "Host, they plan to make their move against you tomorrow."

"It's finally time to make a move."

Qi Ning was getting impatient.

When Qi Ning went to Lingbo Lake for the third time, she indeed encountered the Ninth Princess who had suddenly appeared.

Following Feng Jieyu's instructions, Gao Xi deliberately sent her personal maid away and then stood in front of Qi Ning.

A hint of a smile flashed in Qi Ning's eyes as she feigned ignorance and asked Gao Xi, "Ninth Princess, where are your maids? It's dangerous by the lake, how come you're here alone?"

Gao Xi glanced at the lake and felt a little scared.

She turned her head again and glanced in the direction of the artificial hill where Feng Jieyu was hiding.

Feng Jieyu peeked out from an angle where Qi Ning couldn't see her and nodded to Gao Xi.

Gao Xi then mustered up her courage.

She said nothing, took a step toward the lake, and suddenly jumped in.

With a splash, water sprayed up from the lake, and Gao Xi was splashing around in the water.

"Ninth Princess!"

Ji Mei, bewildered, let out a scream. She was stunned by the Ninth Princess's sudden and unexpected act of jumping into the lake.

"My lord, why did the Ninth Princess suddenly jump into the lake?" Ji Mei asked in a panic.

Feng Jieyu, who was hiding behind the artificial hill, saw Gao Xi really jump into the lake in front of Qi Ning, and her hands holding the artificial hill tightened.

"Consort Feng, shall we go out to rescue the Ninth Princess now?" Consort Feng's maid asked in a low voice.

"Wait, wait," she stopped them.

As Feng Jieyu and Gao Xi had agreed beforehand, in order to ensure Gao Xi's safety, she was to rush to save her the moment Gao Xi jumped into the water, while falsely accusing Consort Qi of pushing the Ninth Princess into the water.

But at this moment, Feng Jieyu hesitated.

She hesitated, wondering whether to go out to save the girl later, causing the Ninth Princess to drown.

If they go out and witness this scene again later, they can still accuse Consort Qi of plotting to harm the Ninth Princess. Once the Ninth Princess dies, Consort Qi will have no chance to recover.

Her secret of instigating the Ninth Princess to slander Consort Qi will be buried completely with the Ninth Princess's death, so there is no need to worry about it being exposed.

The Ninth Princess thrashed about in the water in terror, crying out for help as she looked at where Consort Feng was hiding.

Feng Jieyu clearly said she would come out to save her immediately, so why hasn't she come out yet?

Standing on the shore, Ji Mei said, "My lord, I cannot swim. Perhaps I should go and call someone to rescue the princess..."

Before she could finish speaking, Qi Ning interrupted her.

"Jimei, go and call someone over. I'm going to rescue the Ninth Princess!"

After saying that, Qi Ning jumped down.

"A benefactor!"

Ji Mei was completely panicked. Why did her benefactor jump down?

Princess Jiu never expected that when she was about to suffocate in the water and her vision was blurry, she would see Consort Qi jump into the water to save her.

"A benefactor!"

The key point is that although Qi Ning jumped in, she didn't seem to be able to swim. She only pulled the Ninth Princess into her arms, but struggled to get ashore.

Ji Mei frantically lay down on the shore, reaching out to Qi Ning, but she couldn't touch them at all.

Ji Mei also wanted to jump in to save people, but she couldn't swim, so going into the water would be useless.

All she could do was shout, "Help! Consort Qi and the Ninth Princess have fallen into the water!"

When Feng Jieyu saw that the situation had changed, she did not expect that Qi Ning would actually jump into the water to save the Ninth Princess.

Fearing things would get out of control, Consort Feng rushed out from behind the artificial hill, shouting even louder than Ji Mei: "Something terrible has happened! Someone come quick! Consort Qi has pushed the Ninth Princess into the water!"

When Ji Mei saw Feng Jieyu suddenly emerge from behind the artificial hill, she initially thought she had come to help rescue people after hearing the cries for help. However, she was surprised to hear such distorted and untrue words from Feng Jieyu's mouth.

"What nonsense are you talking about? The Ninth Princess wasn't pushed into the water by our noble lady!" Ji Mei retorted, her eyes wide.

Consort Feng insisted, "It was clearly Consort Qi who pushed the Ninth Princess into the water; I saw it with my own eyes!"

This is not the time to argue, but the time to save lives. Seeing that Feng Jieyu was not there to help, Ji Mei ignored her and turned back to continue shouting for help.

She secretly regretted not bringing more servants with her, so that one person could stay and another could go and call for help.

Not to be outdone, Consort Feng ordered her personal maid to join her in continuing to hurl slanderous words against Qi Ning.

Fortunately, Lingbo Lake is not a very remote place, and there are quite a few people in the palace now. Before long, several palace maids and nannies who were sweeping heard the commotion and came over one after another.

Along with these palace maids and nannies, Jiang Weilan also arrived with Biyu and Bizhu.

Jiang Weilan was specially arranged by Qi Ning. She had arranged to meet Jiang Weilan here at this time yesterday, saying that she had something to tell her.

Qi Ning invited Jiang Weilan over to use her as a witness.

Jiang Weilan arrived at Lingbo Lake at the time she had agreed upon with Qi Ning. From a distance, she happened to witness the scene from just moments before.

She first saw the Ninth Princess suddenly jump into the lake, then Qi Ning jumped into the lake to save her, and then a concubine appeared and slandered Qi Ning.

When Ji Mei saw that someone was coming, she hurriedly told them to go into the water to rescue the person.

"Quickly, who can swim? Go down and save Consort Qi and the Ninth Princess!"

Several nannies who knew how to swim quickly jumped in and swam to Qi Ning and Gao Xi's side.

When Jiang Weilan arrived, she immediately recognized Feng Jieyu's identity, knowing that she was a concubine who had been favored by the Emperor recently.

She had certainly heard what Consort Feng had just shouted, and guessed that she was trying to frame Qi Ning for murdering the princess.

But the situation was critical at the moment, and there was no time to say too much. Jiang Weilan stared nervously at the situation in the lake.

Consort Feng naturally recognized Jiang Weilan's identity, knowing that she was the eldest daughter of the Minister of Revenue and the sworn sister of Consort Qi.

Upon seeing her arrive, Feng Jieyu temporarily stopped shouting those slanderous words and also stared at the chaotic situation in the lake.

Before long, Qi Ning and the Ninth Princess were rescued.

However, they had been in the water for too long, and both of them lay on the ground on the shore, their eyes closed and unconscious.

"My sir, my sir, wake up!"

Ji Mei shook Qi Ning's arm, but Qi Ning didn't react at all.

Biyu and Bizhu also checked on the Ninth Princess's condition, and it was not good either.

"Miss, what should we do?" they asked Jiang Weilan.

Jiang Weilan looked at the scene before her and felt a little flustered. She didn't give a reply for a moment, but looked around.

Looking at the unconscious Qi Ning and Gao Xi, Feng Jieyu secretly clenched her hands, which were hidden in her sleeves.

A ruthless glint flashed in her eyes. If only Consort Qi and the Ninth Princess could stay asleep forever.

At this moment, Jiang Weilan saw Minghua Palace, which was closest to Lingbo Lake. She knew that Minghua Palace was vacant and no one lived there at the moment.

Jiang Weilan immediately instructed, "You two take Consort Qi and the Ninth Princess to Minghua Palace first. The other two, go find someone to summon the imperial physician, and then inform His Majesty and Consort Shu."

Soon, Qi Ning and Gao Xi were sent to Minghua Palace, and the Emperor and Consort Shu received the news one after another.

The emperor was reviewing memorials in the Hall of Diligent Governance at the time. Upon receiving the news, he immediately put down the memorials and stood up.

"What did you say? Consort Qi and the Ninth Princess fell into the water? How could they have fallen into the water together?"

Eunuch Wang replied, "Your Majesty, according to Ji Mei, a palace maid who serves Consort Qi, the Ninth Princess jumped into the lake on her own, and Consort Qi went into the water to save her."

"Jumped into the lake by herself? How could the Ninth Princess possibly jump into the water by herself?"

But the emperor had no time to ask further questions at that moment, and strode out, asking, "Where is he? How is he?"

"Your Majesty, Consort Qi and the Ninth Princess have been rescued and sent to Minghua Palace, which is closest to Lingbo Lake. The imperial physician has already gone there. We do not yet know the current condition of the Ninth Princess and Consort Qi."

"Prepare the carriage for Minghua Palace."

Meanwhile, in Consort Shu's palace.

Gao Yan happened to be paying his respects at Consort Shu's palace. He didn't see Gao Xi and asked, "Where is Xi'er?"

Consort Shu replied casually, "Xi'er has been very playful lately, and she's taken the palace maids out to play again."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a palace maid rushed in, shouting, "Your Highness, something terrible has happened! The Ninth Princess has fallen into the water!"

"What? The Ninth Princess fell into the water?"

When Consort Shu heard this news, she almost fainted.

It was Gao Yan, who was beside her, who helped her up: "Mother, don't worry!"

Immediately afterwards, Gao Yan asked the palace maid, "What exactly happened?"

"Your Highness, according to the messenger, the Ninth Princess and Consort Qi fell into the water together and have been taken to Minghua Palace by Lingbo Lake. I don't know the specifics."

Upon hearing that it was related to Qi Ning, Gao Yan and Consort Shu exchanged a glance, their hearts sinking.

"Quickly, to Minghua Palace!"

The emperor received the news before Consort Shu and Gao Yan, and naturally arrived at Minghua Palace first.

When he went in, it was in complete chaos.

Minghua Palace had been uninhabited for a long time, and the palace was empty. Fortunately, there were two small couches, and Qi Ning and Gao Xi each lay on one of them.

Jiang Weilan and the others anxiously stayed by Qi Ning's side, while Feng Jieyu and her entourage pretended to stay by the Ninth Princess's side.

"Your Majesty is here!"

Upon hearing the announcement, everyone in the room immediately knelt down and greeted the emperor in unison.

"Get up, both of you." As soon as the emperor entered, he looked at the two people lying on the small couch. "How are the Ninth Princess and Consort Qi?"

The imperial physician immediately replied, "Your Majesty, both the Ninth Princess and Consort Qi swallowed some water after falling into the water, but their lives were not in danger; they are just still unconscious."

Upon hearing that no one had been killed, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, Gao Yan and Consort Shu also rushed over.
