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

Ji Mei and Ying Liu were both puzzled when they saw Qi Ning staring at the food without eating.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

"But the food isn't to your liking?"

"No." Qi Ning pointed to the food in front of her and said, "There seems to be something wrong with this food."

"What?!" Ji Mei exclaimed in surprise.

Yingliu then said, "Could someone dare to poison Her Majesty?"

"What poisoning?"

A man's voice suddenly rang out, startling Ji Mei and Ying Liu.

Ji Mei, in particular, was stunned when she saw the Fifth Prince appear in her own empress's palace.

Qi Ning remained relatively calm, as the system had already informed her that Gao Yan had entered the palace.

Gao Yan frowned and walked towards Qi Ning, glancing at the food: "Ning'er, are you alright?"

Qi Ning shook her head: "It's nothing."

She asked Gao Yan, "Why did you come so quickly?"

"I've come to take you out of the palace," Gao Yan said.

Qi Ning had just been put in solitary confinement when someone poisoned her that very night. Gao Yan came to pick her up that same night; they were all incredibly anxious.

"Isn't this too hasty? What if we get found out?"

Gao Yan's expression was grave: "Someone has already poisoned you. If I hadn't come sooner, what would have happened?"

After he finished speaking, he realized that his tone might have been a bit harsh, so he softened his voice and added, "Nothing will happen, I've arranged everything."

"What if His Majesty comes and finds that I'm not here?"

"Don't worry, given the current situation, Father won't be coming anytime soon. Even if he does, Yingliu will handle it."

"Speak," Gao Yan said, pulling Qi Ning to her feet.

Ji Mei, who was standing to the side, was stunned. What was going on?

Seeing that Gao Yan was about to take Qi Ning away, Ji Mei quickly stepped forward to stop them: "Your Highness, this..."

Yingliu pulled Jimei away: "Your Highness, you may leave. Leave this to me. I will explain to Jimei."

Qi Ning hummed in agreement, picked up her personal belongings, changed into a eunuch's robe, and followed Gao Yan into the night, leaving the palace under the cover of darkness.

The two sat in the carriage, and Gao Yan directly hugged Qi Ning in his arms.

"Finally, I've brought you out of the palace."

It had been more than a month since the two had spent any intimate time together. Now that Gao Yan had finally brought Qi Ning out of the palace, he was naturally happy.

"From now on, you will no longer be Consort Qi in the palace, and we can be together."

Qi Ning asked him, "His Majesty only said that I would be imprisoned for half a year. Putting aside whether he will summon me during these six months, what will happen to us after six months? You can't just send me back to the palace, can you?"

"of course not."

When it came to serious matters, Gao Yan's expression became much more serious.

"Don't worry, based on my understanding of Gao Yun, he won't just give up like this. He'll definitely make a move within six months. But I can't wait that long. Even if he doesn't do anything, I'll get him to do something as soon as possible."

Qi Ning nodded: "That's good."

She still remembered that her mission was to destroy the Jiang family and bring about their extermination. Although the Jiang family had been sentenced to be executed soon, Jiang Weilan was still alive and well.

Previously, Qi Ning had chosen to act on the day of Gao Yun and Jiang Weilan's wedding in order to tie Gao Yun to the Jiang family and implicate the Jiang family if Gao Yun got into trouble.

However, this approach also had a drawback: it left Jiang Weilan behind.

Although Jiang Weilan is fine now, if something happens to Gao Yun, will she be able to live a good life?

Gao Yan brought Qi Ning to his residence and took her directly to his own courtyard, where he arranged for a maid to serve her.

Gao Yan took Qi Ning's hand and strolled around the courtyard.

“I used to live alone in this courtyard, so there weren’t many things for women. I had them prepared temporarily. If you see if there’s anything you need, just tell me and I’ll have someone arrange it for you.”

The courtyard where Gao Yan lived was naturally the best courtyard in the entire mansion. Qi Ning had already taken a look around and had nothing to complain about.

She glared at him and said, "Why did you put me in your courtyard? Couldn't you have given me my own courtyard?"

"What do you think?" Gao Yan asked in return.

Qi Ning snorted.

As the two were talking, a maid came over to inform them that dinner had been arranged.

Gao Yan remembered that Qi Ning hadn't eaten dinner, so he arranged for someone to prepare it.

"Let's go and have dinner first."

After the meal, Qi Ning sat on a small couch, resting her chin on her hand on the table, looking somewhat worried.

"What's wrong? Is there anything you're not happy about?"

Gao Yan sat down next to Qi Ning, observed her expression, and asked her, "You really don't want to live in the same courtyard as me?"

He paused and said, "If you really don't want to, then..."

Qi Ning then chuckled and said, "No, that's not what I was thinking about. I'm just a little reluctant to part with my money."

Hearing Qi Ning say that she didn't want to live in the same courtyard as him, Gao Yan raised his eyes and asked, "What money?"

"Those are the rewards I received in the palace, such as gold, silver, jewels, and headdresses. Unfortunately, they are not convenient to take out, and they are all imperial gifts, so I can't use them if I take them out."

Qi Ning's words were half true and half false.

She didn't bring the imperial gift, but she did bring the silver notes that Jiang Weilan had given her before.

Since she became one of His Majesty's concubines, the Jiang family and Gao Yun wanted her to do things for them. In order to win her over, they sent her silver notes several times.

The Jiang family and Gao Yun are both wealthy people. Together, those silver notes amount to hundreds of thousands of taels.

These hundreds of thousands of taels of silver notes are probably just a drop in the ocean for the Jiang family and Gao Yun, nothing at all, but for ordinary people, it is no small amount.

Only Qi Ning knew about this money; even Ji Mei and Ying Liu were unaware of it.

Since silver notes are easy to carry, Qi Ning naturally brought them along.

But she didn't tell Gao Yan. Instead, she complained about being poor in front of him, just to get some more money from him. After all, she would never have too much money.

She felt no guilt whatsoever. If it weren't for her, would Gao Yan have been able to eliminate Gao Yun so easily? This was what she deserved.

Upon hearing this reason, Gao Yan smiled slightly.

It's just that Qi Ning doesn't want to be with him; he won't let her lack money.

"You wait for me."

Gao Yan said something to Qi Ning, then got up and went out to give her a few instructions.

A short while later, a nanny came over with the storeroom key.

Gao Yan took the warehouse key and handed it to Qi Ning.

"Here is the key to the manor's storeroom. Take it; everything inside is yours. Take whatever you want."

Qi Ning glanced at the warehouse key, then looked up and asked, "Really?"

"Can this be false?"

At this moment, Gao Yan had no idea why Qi Ning wanted money, and he didn't think much about it at all.
