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

Although he couldn't forcibly bring Qi Ning back to the capital, nowadays, entry and exit from Fuzhou City are strictly checked, and he has arranged for people to guard Qi Ning day and night, so he figured she couldn't escape.

Gao Yan has plenty of patience, knowing that people are under his nose and can be seen every day.

Seeing that Gao Yan did not answer, Cao Dong did not dare to ask any further questions.

But he thought to himself, if things continue like this, when will His Majesty be able to return to the capital? He can't stay in Fuzhou forever.

Cao Dong looked up and saw that Gao Yan had picked up his brush again and was reviewing memorials.

Although Gao Yan was not in the capital, important memorials were still continuously delivered by fast horses.

Cao Dong couldn't help but advise, "Your Majesty, you traveled all night without rest. Why don't you rest for a while before reviewing the memorials?"

Gao Yan's eyes and brows did indeed show signs of fatigue.

But instead of stopping to rest, he waved for Cao Dong to leave.

Gao Yan thus settled down temporarily in Qi Ning's residence.

The house was guarded inside and out. Gao Yan sent maids to serve Qi Ning and also arranged for people to deliver her meals.

Gao Yan even remembered that when he found Qi Ning, Qi Ning was sitting in front of the wonton stall, and when he took her away, she looked at the bowl of wontons with reluctance.

During dinner, Qi Ning stared blankly at the wontons placed in front of her.

“Miss, His Majesty specially ordered this to be bought for you,” said a maid named Xingren.

"I understand. You can leave now. You don't need to serve me here."

"Yes, then this servant will stand guard outside the courtyard. Just call out if you need anything, Miss."

Almond curtsied and then withdrew.

Looking at the steaming bowl of wontons in front of her, Qi Ning thought, "Why not eat it? Food is innocent." So she picked up a spoon.

Upon seeing this, the system said, "Host, Gao Yan is quite thoughtful; he actually knew you like to eat this."

Qi Ning pursed her lips slightly: "He's been watching me for who knows how long today, how could I not know?"

She won't be easily bought off by a bowl of wontons.

Given the current situation, is she really going to sit and wait for her death?

Should we think of a way to sneak away?

Even as the night grew deep and quiet, Qi Ning was still pondering this question. She was thinking about how to avoid the layers upon layers of guards outside, including those in the open and countless hidden guards.

Before Qi Ning could come up with a solution, she suddenly heard a light footstep outside the door.

She had clearly driven all the people Gao Yan had arranged out of her courtyard and locked the door from the inside, so who had come in?

The system quietly said, "Host, it's Gao Yan. He climbed over the wall from next door."

Qi Ning: "..."

Seeing that the footsteps had reached the door, Qi Ning simply got off the bed, walked to the door, and opened it.

Gao Yan was indeed standing at the door.

"Trying to run away again?"

Before Qi Ning could speak, Gao Yan asked first.

"What? Trying to run away again? I came out to check because I saw people outside. What are you doing in my yard?"

Hearing Qi Ning's answer, Gao Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought that Qi Ning was trying to escape again.

Nevertheless, Gao Yan coldly threatened, "Let me tell you, don't even think about running away. You can't escape. You can't even leave this house, so don't even think about leaving the city."

Qi Ning's thoughts were exposed. Her eyes flashed, and she snorted, "Is there anything else? If not, get out of my yard."

After saying that, she tried to close the door.

But Gao Yan reached out and grabbed the door frame, preventing Qi Ning from closing it.

"What are you doing?" Qi Ning glared at him.

Gao Yan took the opportunity to enter the room and sat down on the small couch by the window.

Qi Ning followed him, pointed to the door and said, "Go out."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gao Yan grabbed her wrist, pulled her onto his lap, and hugged her tightly.

"Gao Zhen!"

"Mm," Gao Yan replied.

"Don't move, let me hug you."

"let me go."

Gao Yan didn't react, still holding her tightly, greedily inhaling her fragrance.

Qi Ning was only wearing a thin undergarment, and her face felt slightly hot as he held her like this.

"Did you hear that?" she said again.

Gao Yan hesitated for a moment, but still let go of her.

He didn't want to upset Qi Ning.

Qi Ning quickly got off him, took a step back, and looked at him warily.

"Gao Yan, are you really sick?"

"Perhaps." Gao Yan nodded slightly. "In that case, you'd better be careful. If you push me too far, it's not impossible that I might do something to you."

As he spoke, he glanced at Qi Ning from head to toe.

Qi Ning frowned: "Who forced you? You were the one who broke in in the middle of the night and refused to leave."

“I’m not leaving tonight. I’ll stay here and watch over you. Otherwise, who knows if you’ll sneak away in the middle of the night? After all, you can use sleeping pills, you’re very skilled.”

Gao Yan was referring to the time three years ago when Qi Ning used drugs to knock out two servants guarding the back gate before leaving.

He still remembers this little thing even though so much time has passed.

Even though Gao Yan has arranged for enough people to watch over Qi Ning, making it extremely unlikely that she could escape, Gao Yan is still not entirely at ease.

He needed to keep a close eye on Qi Ning.

Qi Ning was too lazy to say anything more to Gao Yan: "If you want to sit here, then sit."

She turned back to the couch, lowered the bed curtains, and lay down to sleep.

At first, Qi Ning was still pretending to be asleep. She was on guard, wary of Gao Yan suddenly doing something.

After a long time, Gao Yan sat obediently on the couch without making any other moves, so Qi Ning relaxed and really fell asleep.

After Qi Ning fell asleep, Gao Yan got up and went to the bedside.

He lifted the bed curtains and slowly sat down on the edge of the bed.

Gao Yan looked at Qi Ning sleeping soundly for a long time. Then he reached out and gently stroked her hair and touched her face.

Qi Ning dodged for a moment in her sleep, and Gao Yan immediately withdrew his hand.

He did nothing more, just sat quietly by the bed and watched Qi Ning all night, only leaving when dawn was breaking.

The next day, the system told Qi Ning: "Host, Gao Yan sat by your bedside and stared at you all night last night."

Qi Ning knew, of course.

"Let him stare if he wants, I'm going to sleep anyway."

For the next two nights, Gao Yan really did come over to watch her sleep, as if afraid she would sneak away in the middle of the night.

During the day, he wouldn't bother Qi Ning. According to the system, he was reviewing memorials and handling official business next door.

Qi Ning felt that things couldn't go on like this, so she decided to go out for a walk.

Unexpectedly, she was blocked by Gao Yan as soon as she stepped out of the courtyard.

"where to?"

He stood in front of her and asked.

Qi Ning was startled when she first saw Gao Yan; he looked exhausted and seemed out of sorts.

Just thinking about how he spends all day on official business and then spends all night instead of sleeping to keep an eye on her, it's no wonder he's exhausted. Doesn't he fear dying from overwork?

Qi Ning tilted her head back and said, "I want to go out for a walk, is that not allowed? Are you going to lock me up and not let me go out?"
