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

Yue Zeyuan didn't intend to do anything more. He just saw that she was so far away from him, as if she was trying to avoid him, and he wanted to go against her.

"Go to sleep."

Yue Zeyuan did not let go of Qi Ning. After saying these two words, he closed his eyes.

Qi Ning breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, then leaned against him, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

Believe it or not, after this commotion, they really did become much closer.

The atmosphere between the two was different the next day.

Yue Zeyuan ate breakfast before preparing to leave.

"I'm leaving."

He turned to look at Qi Ning.

Qi Ning leaned lazily against the small couch, propping her head up with her hand. No matter how much Yulan tried to signal her, she showed no intention of getting up to see her off.

Yulan was filled with apprehension. She looked at Yue Zeyuan, then at Qi Ning, and reminded him, "Your Majesty, His Majesty is leaving."

Qi Ning didn't even look up, only giving a lukewarm "hmm".

Yue Zeyuan knew that she couldn't wait for him to leave.

He didn't argue with her, nor did he insist that she get up to see him off.

"Let her rest."

After Yue Zeyuan finished speaking, he glanced at her and left with his men.

Qi Ning had been guessing that Yue Zeyuan wouldn't remember her for more than a few days after leaving today, but she wondered if he would come over tonight.

However, she was a little reluctant to deal with him for the time being; she was exhausted yesterday.

Unexpectedly, Yue Zeyuan came to Yaohua Palace again that afternoon.

Even before Yue Zeyuan arrived, the system had already informed Qi Ning: "Host, something terrible has happened! Yun Jing and Shen Yixiao have been captured by Yue Zeyuan's men!"

"Did they reveal their true identities?" Qi Ning asked.

“No, that’s not true,” the system said. “Neither of them would reveal their true identities, not even when Yue Ze questioned them personally.”

"That's good."

Qi Ning felt more confident.

The system then said, "Yue Zeyuan definitely won't let this go so easily. Didn't you say you caught someone and wanted him to hand him over to you for disposal? He'll probably bring him to you for a confrontation."

"Then come on."

Therefore, when Yue Zeyuan came to Yaohua Palace again in the afternoon, he had Yun Jing brought with him.

Yulan came in and reported, "Your Majesty, His Majesty has arrived."

She then worriedly nagged, "Your Majesty, please stop being stubborn and go out to greet His Majesty."

As they were talking, Yue Zeyuan stepped in. Hearing what Yulan said, he said, "No need to greet her."

Qi Ning held a book in her hand, glanced up and saw that he had only brought Eunuch Xu in, so she knew that Yun Jing should be outside.

"Why is Your Majesty here again?" Qi Ning asked, feigning ignorance.

Yue Zeyuan sat down next to Qi Ning.

Qi Ning moved to the side, and Yue Zeyuan grabbed her hand.

"Sit still."

The tone was slightly commanding.

Qi Ning put down the book in her hand: "You haven't answered me yet, why are you here again?"

"I can't come?"

Qi Ning remained silent, turning her head away without saying a word.

Yue Zeyuan looked at her for a moment before saying, "Alright, I came here on important business. Didn't you tell Xu Deyou the other day that if your maid was captured, she would be handed over to you for disposal?"

Qi Ning then turned around, her eyes showing a hint of surprise, as if she were unaware of the situation: "You caught him?"

"Yes."

Yue Zeyuan gestured to Eunuch Xu: "Bring the person in."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

A short while later, Eunuch Xu had the palace servants outside bring in a woman.

The woman was dressed in the coarse cloth clothes of an ordinary commoner, and her hair was tied in a common woman's round bun. She must have disguised herself like this to hide when she was hiding from the search and arrest.

Even so, Qi Ning recognized at a glance that the person in front of him was Yun Jing.

Yun Jing was indignant when she was forcibly brought in. But when she looked up and saw Qi Ning sitting in the head seat, dressed as a concubine, she was stunned.

That night, after Yun Jing escaped from Yaohua Palace with Shen Yixiao, they hid in a secluded corner of the palace for several hours.

As dawn approached, they endured the stench and hid in the chamber pot that was to be sent out of the palace, finally escaping the palace.

After leaving the palace, they found a place to change out of their guard uniforms, since those uniforms were too conspicuous and would easily attract attention, not to mention they had become smelly in the chamber pot.

They dared not linger and planned to leave Yue after a short rest.

Unexpectedly, before they could leave, the city gates were suddenly reinforced with increased security, and anyone entering or leaving the city had to undergo thorough checks. At the same time, people inside the city were searching house to house.

Yun Jing and Shen Yixiao understood that Yue Zeyuan must have found out about Yun Jing's escape, which was why he sent people to search for and arrest them.

Now that they had finally escaped the palace, they certainly didn't want to be caught again.

If they are caught, they will all suffer a terrible fate; Yue Zeyuan will certainly not let them off easily.

Therefore, they could only hide throughout the city.

However, this was Yue Kingdom territory after all, and no matter how well Shen Yixiao and Yun Jing hid, they were eventually caught.

After being captured, Yun Jing and Shen Yixiao vehemently denied their true identities, claiming that they came to Yue from other small countries, were not from Chu, and did not know any Princess Pingning.

They knew very well that once Yue Zeyuan confirmed their identities and learned that Yun Jing was the princess who had secretly run away for a political marriage, and that Shen Yixiao was the legitimate son of General Shen of Chu, then Yue Zeyuan would have a legitimate reason to attack Chu.

In the Chu Kingdom, Chu Hanfeng will not let them off the hook either, and it will also implicate General Shen's family.

Even when questioned by Yue Zeyuan himself, they remained tight-lipped and refused to admit their identities.

They originally thought that if they refused to admit it, Yue Zeyuan would probably torture them, or even kill them outright.

However, Yue Zeyuan only asked a few simple questions before having Shen Yixiao taken away, while he had Yun Jing escorted to Yaohua Palace.

Looking at the path she had walked on the day she first entered the palace, Yun Jing didn't understand why Yue Zeyuan wanted to take her to Yaohua Palace.

Does he already know her identity, yet want to keep her locked up in this deep palace and let her continue to be a princess sent for political marriage?

However, after Yun Jing was brought in, she saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure sitting next to Yue Zeyuan.

The reason she said they were familiar was because Yun Jing recognized the person at a glance as Ning'er.

She didn't have time to kill the maid Ning'er on the day she fled.

The reason they seemed unfamiliar was because Ning'er was dressed as a palace concubine, and she was sitting next to Yue Zeyuan, and the two looked very close.

how come?

Logically speaking, after Yue Zeyuan discovered that she had escaped, he should have executed her maid in a fit of rage. Why did Ning'er not die and instead appear in Yue Zeyuan's presence in this manner?

Yun Jing stared at Qi Ning with wide eyes, her gaze filled with confusion and disbelief.

Qi Ning sat in the head seat and saw Yun Jing being brought in. His expression remained calm, showing no sign of panic.

Yue Zeyuan's eyes were deep as he observed Qi Ning and Yun Jing's reactions.

Then he looked at Qi Ning and asked, "So, is this your runaway maid?"
