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

Qi Ning's voice sounded somewhat pained.

Even though the eunuch outside the carriage couldn't see Qi Ning's face, he could tell from her voice that she was really unwell.

“This…” The young eunuch hesitated for a moment before replying, “This servant will go and report to His Majesty and convey Her Highness’s wishes.”

After saying that, he ran to the imperial carriage.

Ji Mei and Ying Liu were both very worried after hearing Qi Ning's words.

"Your Majesty, are you feeling very dizzy?"

"Yes, Your Highness, shall we summon the imperial physician to take a look?"

Qi Ning raised her hand: "No need, I'm just a little dizzy, I'll be fine after a short rest."

As she spoke, she gave Yingliu a look.

Yingliu saw the hint in Qi Ning's eyes and realized that she was faking it.

Ji Mei was simple-minded and believed Qi Ning's words. She put another pillow behind Qi Ning's back and said, "Your Highness, please lean on it and rest well."

"Ah."

But after a short while, the little eunuch ran back.

"Your Highness, His Majesty said that since Your Highness is feeling dizzy and unwell due to the bumpy ride in the carriage, you should go to the Imperial Carriage, which is more stable than this carriage. His Majesty has instructed me to escort Your Highness there. If Your Highness is still feeling unwell, please ask the Imperial Physician to go to the Imperial Carriage to examine Your Highness."

Qi Ning was truly speechless.

If he refused again, it would seem strange and arouse the emperor's suspicion, so Qi Ning had no choice but to agree: "Very well."

Seeing this, Yingliu quickly said, "This servant will accompany Your Highness."

Qi Ning patted Ying Liu's hand: "No need, neither of you need to come with me. There are plenty of people serving His Majesty."

If something really happens later, Ji Mei and Ying Liu going there will not only be useless, but will also be a nuisance.

After Qi Ning finished speaking, he got off the carriage and followed the little eunuch.

The palace procession suddenly stopped, and stayed there for so long, which made the others feel strange, so they all sent their servants to inquire about the situation.

Upon learning that it was the Emperor who had allowed Consort Qi to ride in the imperial carriage with him, most of the concubines in the harem were naturally filled with envy and jealousy, while many more sighed at how much Consort Qi was favored.

The princes and noblemen who were riding also received the news.

Someone flattered Jiang Youcheng: "Brother Youcheng, your sworn sister is truly pampered and favored."

Jiang Youcheng chuckled twice and said some high-sounding words: "It is an honor for our Jiang family that Consort Qi can win His Majesty's favor."

However, Gao Yan's expression was not very good.

His gaze was deep, following Qi Ning's figure.

Fortunately, many people were watching Qi Ning at the moment, so Gao Yan's gaze did not seem out of place.

Qi Ning could sense Gao Yan watching her out of the corner of her eye, and she could guess what he was thinking, but she couldn't respond in front of everyone.

Just before reaching the imperial carriage and getting on, Qi Ning paused slightly and shook her head gently, indicating to Gao Yan that he didn't need to worry about her and that this small change shouldn't affect their plans.

Qi Ning was indeed confident that she wouldn't be accidentally hurt, but Gao Yan didn't know that. He saw Qi Ning shake her head, but his worries didn't subside at all.

Soon, the emperor reached out from his carriage to pull her up.

"My beloved concubine, come up here."

Not wanting to give any further hints lest the emperor notice anything amiss, Qi Ning could only smile and reply, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Gao Yan watched helplessly as his father, the emperor, personally pulled Qi Ning onto the imperial carriage.

The moment Gao Yan saw Qi Ning's hand being held by his father, besides worry, he also felt that the scene was particularly jarring, and he unconsciously gripped the reins even tighter.

Seeing Gao Yan's unpleasant expression, Gao Yun assumed that he was wary of Qi Ning because of her favor with the emperor.

He asked provocatively, "Fifth Brother, what are you looking at? Why do you look so pale?"

Gao Yan then turned his gaze to Gao Yun.

He gave a cold snort without expression: "Your Highness is very pleased that Consort Qi is so favored by the Emperor, Fourth Brother?"

Without waiting for Gao Yun's response, he pulled on the reins and rode forward.

Gao Yun chuckled twice from behind.

He was naturally happy; Consort Qi's favor was a good thing for both the Jiang family and him.

Qi Ning boarded the imperial carriage, and the procession returning to the palace resumed its journey.

Gao Yan rode his horse near the imperial carriage, seemingly protecting the emperor, but in reality, he was waiting for an opportunity to rescue the emperor immediately should someone attempt an assassination.

In addition to this, he had another concern: Qi Ning, who was also in the imperial carriage.

Gao Yun was unaware of Gao Yan's plan, nor did he know that someone would attempt to assassinate him today, but he also rode his horse near the imperial carriage.

Inside the imperial carriage, Qi Ning dealt with the old emperor while simultaneously estimating the distance.

When they were about halfway through the journey, sure enough, a group of people suddenly rushed out of the bushes on both sides of the road. They were carrying swords and knives and charged toward the imperial carriage with murderous intent.

"kill!"

"Brothers, charge! Take the emperor's head!"

Gao Yan was prepared. His brow twitched, and he immediately shouted, "Assassins! Protect the Emperor!"

Although Gao Yun was caught off guard and was a step slower than Gao Yan, he quickly reacted.

He knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a name for himself, so he immediately rushed forward to protect the emperor.

The emperor and Qi Ning, sitting in the imperial carriage, naturally heard the commotion outside.

Qi Ning feigned nervousness and called out, "Your Majesty..."

The emperor was surprised that someone would be so audacious as to attempt an assassination. However, he was, after all, the emperor, and this was not the first time he had been assassinated in his many years on the throne, so he was not particularly panicked.

He reassured her, "My dear consort, don't panic, everything will be alright."

No sooner had the emperor finished speaking than a large sword pierced through the carriage wall and entered the carriage. The next instant, the other side of the carriage wall was also pierced by a sword.

The assassins were well-trained and were heading straight for the emperor. They didn't waste any time dealing with the people outside and charged towards the imperial carriage.

Upon seeing this, the emperor, who had initially been nonchalant, instantly became tense.

Under these circumstances, one cannot remain in the imperial carriage any longer, otherwise one will soon be riddled with arrows.

The emperor glanced at the panicked Qi Ning and grabbed her arm, saying, "Come on, let's go down."

Qi Ning pretended to be trembling with fear and followed the emperor down from the imperial carriage.

As soon as they stepped off, the imperial carriage was cleaved into several pieces and fell apart.

Although the emperor had brought Qi Ning down with him, the two were quickly separated when faced with the assassins.

Of course, this was Qi Ning's intention. At this time, it was safer to stay away from the emperor, so she could pretend to avoid being accidentally hurt.

At the same time, keeping her distance from the emperor would also reduce Gao Yan's interference and prevent him from interfering with his rescue efforts.

Hearing the commotion, Gao Yan, who was fighting with someone, immediately turned around.

His gaze swept towards the direction of the emperor and Qi Ning, and after glancing at the emperor, it subconsciously settled on Qi Ning standing to the side.

Gao Yan frowned and immediately rushed towards the emperor and Qi Ning.

Gao Yun also noticed the situation on the emperor's side and immediately rushed over to protect him.
