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

As soon as Qi Ning finished speaking, Yue Zeyuan reached out and pulled her into his arms.

"you……"

Qi Ning gasped. She sat in Yue Zeyuan's lap and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Yue Zeyuan held her waist with one hand and pinched her chin with the other, lifting her face up.

"Worried about him? You should worry about yourself first."

"What's wrong with me?" Qi Ning asked, unconvinced.

She tried to turn her face away, but Yue Zeyuan grabbed her chin and turned her back.

Yue Zeyuan stared into Qi Ning's eyes, his expression stern.

"You still ask what happened? On your very first night in the palace, you had a secret rendezvous with a man from another place and even tried to elope. Later, you deceived the emperor, saying that Shen Yixiao was your maid's lover. Tell me, whose lover is he really? And how should I deal with you, hmm?"

"What secret rendezvous, what elopement? You're framing me!"

Qi Ning argued, "It was Shen Yixiao who wanted to take me away, not me. Besides, I didn't go with him and stayed in your Yue Kingdom's palace the whole time."

"Later, when they were arrested, it was Yu Tao who first said that Shen Yixiao was her childhood sweetheart. I only went along with what they said in order to save their lives. How can that be considered deceiving the emperor? Now that you know the truth, haven't I already told you everything?"

She spoke with such self-righteousness that she absolved herself of all wrongdoing in just a few words, as if she had done nothing wrong and that Yue Zeyuan had no reason to punish her.

Even Yue Zeyuan had to admire her quick wit.

"As for a lover, he's not even close to being my lover; he's just an older brother to me."

"Brother?"

Other things aside, this excuse was truly laughable to Yue Zeyuan.

"Your half-brother is really good to you; he risked his life to save you."

Qi Ning hesitated, not responding to Yue Zeyuan's words.

She then asked, "So, what exactly do you plan to do with Shen Yixiao?"

Yue Zeyuan looked down at Qi Ning's face, which clearly showed worry, as if she was afraid that he would do something to Shen Yixiao.

"Aren't you very clever? You already guessed that I wouldn't kill him. If that's the case, why ask?" Yue Zeyuan said, stroking her chin.

He didn't actually intend to kill Shen Yixiao outright, but that just meant he wouldn't kill him for the time being; it didn't mean he wouldn't kill him later.

We will neither kill him nor let him go.

"Then, could I see him?" Qi Ning asked tentatively.

Upon hearing Qi Ning's words, Yue Zeyuan immediately let out a cold laugh.

"Just now Xu Deyou told me that Shen Yixiao was making a fuss at the Shenxing Division, wanting to see you. Now you also say you want to see him. You two are really in sync."

"But before, weren't you obsessed with Chu Hanfeng? You almost became Chu Hanfeng's crown princess. Now that you and Shen Yixiao are so deeply in love, where does that leave Chu Hanfeng?"

"Being caught between these two must have put you in a very difficult position, right?"

As Yue Zeyuan spoke, he tightened his grip on Qi Ning's chin.

"Ah... it hurts!"

Qi Ning cried out in pain.

Yue Zeyuan paused for a moment before releasing Qi Ning's chin.

She looked pained, and her chin was red from being pinched so hard.

But this patch of red made her face even more captivating.

Qi Ning raised her hand to rub her chin, glared at him, and complained exaggeratedly, "What are you doing? You're going to crush my bones!"

"is it?"

Yue Zeyuan stretched out his hand, as if to inspect it: "Let me take a look."

Qi Ning turned her head away irritably, avoiding his hand.

Yue Zeyuan looked at her like this and didn't say anything.

After a while, Qi Ning seemed to remember that she had not yet achieved her goal, and turned to look at him again: "Can't you really let me see him? Just once, let me say a few words to him and see if he is alright."

"You don't need to worry about anything. It's not like I'm meeting him alone. I'll have Yulan and Yutao come with me. Even if you don't trust Yutao, can't you trust Yulan? You can have Yulan keep an eye on me."

No matter how much Qi Ning pleaded, Yue Zeyuan remained unmoved, only staring at her intently.

When Qi Ning saw that Yue Zeyuan did not agree, her eyes flickered, as if she was hesitating about something.

After a moment, she suddenly grabbed Yue Zeyuan's wide sleeve, leaned in, and kissed him on the lips.

Instantly separate.

Yue Zeyuan's eyes darkened immediately.

Qi Ning looked up at him, shook his sleeve, and asked in a soft voice, "Is it okay? It's just a meeting."

"You're begging me in this way?"

Previously, she had always been reluctant about bedtime matters. Even when sleeping in the same bed, she refused to get close to him, and he always had to forcibly hold her in his arms.

Now, for the sake of Shen Yixiao, she has actually put aside her former arrogance, humbled herself, and even kissed him, all for the sake of seeing Shen Yixiao.

Is Shen Yixiao that important to her?

Qi Ning frowned: "What's wrong with me using this method? Just tell me if you agree or not?"

Yue Zeyuan scoffed, "How can you ask for favors like that? If you're going to use this method, it's not that simple."

"What do you want?"

"Undress me."

"what?"

Qi Ning looked around; this was where Yue Zeyuan usually reviewed memorials and received ministers.

"Is it here?"

Her first reaction wasn't that she felt it was wrong to betray herself for Shen Yixiao, but rather that she didn't want to be in this place.

Yue Zeyuan's expression turned completely cold.

Yes, it's here.

"How about that?"

"Why not?"

"It just won't work, it's just... can't we go to the inner sanctum?"

The inner hall is right behind Yue Zeyuan's study, just a stone's throw away. You can walk there in no time, just by turning around the screen.

But Yue Zeyuan said, "No, it's right here."

Qi Ning seemed very hesitant. She remained silent for a long time, and Yue Zeyuan waited patiently.

After a long while, she seemed to give in, raising her hand to the jade belt around Yue Zeyuan's waist, intending to help him undress.

But as soon as her hand touched his belt, she pulled it back.

"I don't want to. You're just deliberately making things difficult for me."

After saying that, Qi Ning got up from Yue Zeyuan and was about to leave.

However, she had just stood up and hadn't even taken a step when Yue Zeyuan grabbed her waist from behind and pressed her down onto his desk where he was reviewing memorials.

"Ah, Yue Zeyuan, what are you doing?"

Qi Ning wanted to turn around, but Yue Zeyuan was standing behind her, holding both of her hands behind her back, so she couldn't get up at all.

"It's too late to regret it now."

Yue Zeyuan's cold voice sounded behind her.

"No, let me go."

Qi Ning struggled, and the memorials on the imperial desk fell to the ground, scattering everywhere.

Yue Zeyuan glanced at the memorials but ignored them completely, showing no intention of releasing Qi Ning.

Qi Ning had only noticed that Yue Ze seemed a little jealous, so she deliberately teased him, but she didn't expect him to react like this.

Yue Zeyuan came up to her from behind, one hand resting on the back of her neck.

He spoke close to her cheek, his breath almost touching her ear: "Have you thought it through? Do you still want to see Shen Yixiao?"
