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

Gao Yun thought to himself that he was probably overthinking things.

Since the emperor wanted to stroll around the palace, Gao Yun naturally couldn't refuse.

"Then I will have the steward lead the way for the Emperor and Consort Qi."

Gao Yun called the steward over, gave him a few instructions, and then went to the banquet to entertain the guests.

The emperor and Qi Ning, led by the steward, began to stroll around the palace.

Gao Yun's mansion was built according to the standards for a prince, and there was nothing that exceeded those standards.

The emperor had visited the Third Prince's residence once before, and Gao Yun's residence could be considered quite low-key compared to the Third Prince's residence.

Qi Ning pointed out and praised the artificial mountains and streams along the way, as if she really came to see the scenery.

The emperor, thinking he wouldn't notice anything amiss, even took a leisurely stroll with Qi Ning.

Just as they were passing by a courtyard, they saw a servant coming out of a room.

The servant had just closed the door when he turned around and saw the emperor and his entourage. He immediately became flustered, lowered his head, and pretended not to see them as he left.

Upon seeing this, the emperor frowned: "Who is that? Why does he look so suspicious?"

The steward hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, that is the servant who serves in the Fourth Prince's study."

"The servant boy in the study, why is he hiding when he sees me? Bring him back to me."

The steward didn't understand why the servant had run away, so he had no choice but to order his servants to bring the servant back.

The emperor and his steward were unaware of the situation, but Qi Ning, standing nearby, understood it perfectly.

This servant was arranged by Gao Yan. The reason he deliberately acted suspiciously when the emperor came was to attract the emperor's attention.

Before long, the servant was brought back and forced to kneel before the emperor.

He stammered, "Your Majesty."

The emperor lowered his eyes to look at him and asked in a deep voice, "What did you see me hiding just now? Were you doing something shameful?"

The servant kowtowed and explained, "Your Majesty, I am innocent! I am innocent! It was only the first time I had seen Your Majesty. I was overwhelmed by Your Majesty's majesty and ran away without thinking."

Qi Ning chuckled: "Your Majesty, this man is even more timid than a mouse."

The emperor glanced at Qi Ning and thought she was really naive, believing such words. This servant was obviously suspicious.

The emperor then asked, "Is this the study of your Fourth Prince?"

"Your Majesty, that's right."

"Then I'll go in and take a look."

Regardless of whether the servant was truly problematic, the emperor wanted to visit Gao Yun's study.

He wanted to see if there were any secrets hidden in this study.

Qi Ning's lips curved into a barely perceptible smile, but she said, "Your Majesty, what's so interesting about the study? Aren't we going back to the palace?"

"My dear consort, don't rush. Take a look in the study and then return to the palace."

After saying this, the emperor walked towards his study, and Qi Ning and the steward quickly followed.

The emperor entered Gao Yun's study and looked around, his gaze sweeping over the books on the shelves and the official documents and letters on the desk.

Qi Ning seemed genuinely bored in the study, and was looking around inside.

Her gaze fell on a ceramic ornament on the bookshelf. She slowly walked over and reached out to touch it.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince's ornament is quite exquisite."

After hearing Qi Ning's words, the emperor looked at her and asked, "What kind of ornament?"

"this one."

As Qi Ning spoke, he tried to pick up the ceramic ornament to show the emperor.

Unexpectedly, the ornament seemed to be stuck to it and couldn't be removed.

"Hey, why can't I get it off?" she asked, puzzled.

Upon seeing this, the emperor's expression changed slightly, and he walked towards Qi Ning.

"Let me take a look."

Qi Ning released his grip, and the emperor tried to twist the ornament around once.

"Click——"

A sound came as the ornament was twisted, revealing a hidden door behind the bookshelf.

"How... how could there be a gate here?" Qi Ning asked, feigning confusion.

The emperor's expression had changed somewhat. He pushed open the door and went inside.

Qi Ning followed them inside.

As soon as the emperor entered, he saw stacks of letters and account books.

He casually picked up some items, glanced at them a few times, then slammed them to the ground with a dark expression.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

The emperor ignored Qi Ning and continued examining the contents.

He had just turned around when his gaze froze.

There was actually a dragon robe hanging in the corner!

Qi Ning followed the emperor's gaze and looked over as if she had just discovered the dragon robe. Her face was full of shock, and she covered her lips with a handkerchief.

"Your Majesty, this is..."

At this moment, the emperor's face had turned completely gloomy.

He sneered and roared, "Guards!"

The steward, who was standing guard outside the study, was startled when he heard the emperor's roar.

He strode into the study, only to find a hidden room inside. His Majesty and Consort Qi were both in the hidden room, and a dragon robe was hanging in front of them.

"His Majesty!"

The butler knelt down tremblingly.

The emperor casually picked up an account book and threw it at him: "Go, go and call Gao Yun over, let him explain what's going on!"

"Yes……"

The butler scrambled out and ran straight towards the banquet area.

At this moment, the banquet area was bustling with activity.

The fact that the Emperor and Consort Qi had disguised themselves and come to the Prince's residence incognito to witness the ceremony had already been learned by the imperial relatives and ministers at the banquet.

This was indeed an immense honor, a privilege that no other prince had ever received.

Most of these people are opportunists, and seeing this situation, they are congratulating and flattering Gao Yun.

Although Gao Yun appeared humble and low-key on the surface, the smile on his face was quite obvious.

The atmosphere at the banquet was harmonious and joyful.

Sitting at the table, Gao Yan glanced at the smile on Gao Yun's face, then slowly picked up his wine glass and took a sip.

I wonder if Gao Yun will still be able to laugh later?

Cao Dong approached Gao Yan and whispered, "Your Highness, everything is going smoothly. His Majesty has discovered those things."

Gao Yan nodded slightly and waved for Cao Dong to leave.

Just then, the butler rushed in.

"Your Highness! Your Highness, something terrible has happened!"

Gao Yun was dressed in a bright red wedding robe and was talking to an imperial uncle while holding a wine cup.

Hearing the butler's voice, he turned around abruptly, holding his wine glass.

"What happened? Why are you in such a panic? Didn't I tell you to accompany Father and Consort Qi for a stroll around the manor? Has something happened to Father?"

The steward knelt on the ground, panting heavily: "Your Highness, something terrible has happened! His Majesty found a secret room in Your Highness's study, filled with many account books and letters, and... and..."

Gao Yun's expression changed drastically: "What else?"

"There's also a dragon robe!"

"Snapped--"

The wine glass in Gao Yun's hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
