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

Seeing Chu Hanfeng's expression change, the envoys all knelt down.

"Your Majesty, the reason we returned to the country so late is that we deliberately stayed in Yue for a few days after the Emperor's birthday, hoping to see Princess Pingning. However, we were still refused, and not only that, we were also expelled from Yue."

Chu Hanfeng slammed his hand on the table: "That's Yue Zeyuan!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Although we were unable to see Princess Pingning in person, it was not a complete loss."

Chu Hanfeng looked at the envoy and said, "Speak!"

The envoy said, "During the few days we stayed in the capital of Yue, we heard that the King of Yue doted on Princess Pingning. He not only favored her every night, but also took her on trips around the country. He even postponed the imperial concubine selection for her!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Hanfeng's already cold expression instantly darkened.

Back then, after Chu Hanfeng sent Yun Jing away for a political marriage, he actually had some lingering regrets.

Even though he was unwilling to admit it, he still asked Chu Xiyue to contact Ning'er, the maid she had arranged, and send a message by carrier pigeon to find out about Yun Jing's every move after arriving in Yue Kingdom.

Chu Hanfeng originally thought that, given Yun Jing's personality and her feelings for him, she would not easily give herself to another man. She would make a scene, refuse to serve Yue Zeyuan, and refuse to stay in the Yue Kingdom's palace.

However, from the letters sent back by the maid Ning'er, it was said that after Yun Jing arrived in Yue Kingdom, she was very well-behaved, did not cry or make a fuss, and obediently became Yue Zeyuan's concubine.

Chu Hanfeng was naturally unwilling to believe it. He felt that Yun Jing should still have feelings for him. How could she really fall in love with another man after he asked her to go on a political marriage?

It was precisely because Chu Hanfeng felt that the maid Ning'er's information was unreliable that he specially sent envoys to Yue Kingdom, hoping they would inquire about Yun Jing's true situation.

To his surprise, the news the envoy brought back was even more unacceptable than the news the maid had relayed.

What do you cherish so much?

What does "nightly favor" mean?

Why was the talent show postponed for her sake?

Chu Hanfeng's face twisted slightly. He was unwilling to believe it and asked again, "Is what you're saying true?"

The envoys replied, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely true! It has spread throughout the powerful families of Yue; there is no way it could be false."

To increase credibility, they added, "I heard that when Princess Pingning first arrived in Yue, she wasn't particularly favored by the King of Yue, and his attitude towards her was just so-so. But later... later they became very loving and inseparable!"

This statement aligns with the content of the previous message sent by carrier pigeon.

It was hard for Chu Hanfeng not to believe it.

Enraged, he kicked over a table and chairs, shattering several vases along with them, creating a deafening crash in the hall.

"Host, Chu Hanfeng learned from the Chu envoy that Yue Zeyuan dotes on Yun Jing, and he is furious right now."

The system provided Qi Ning with a real-time description of the situation in the Chu Kingdom.

“Oh, that’s good,” Qi Ning replied.

In the original storyline, after Chu Hanfeng sent Yun Jing away to marry a foreign ruler, he regretted it somewhat, but he still didn't fully understand his own feelings.

It was only after learning of Yun Jing's "death" that he fully realized he loved her, and then he went mad and attacked the Yue Kingdom, and did a series of things afterward.

Now that Qi Ning has taken Yun Jing's place and Yun Jing is not "dead," it is natural to stimulate Chu Hanfeng from other aspects in order to push Chu Hanfeng to take action.

For example, the news that Yun Jing had gained favor with the emperor.

Qi Ning had long known that the envoys would bring the news from Yue back to Chu, but she did not stop them and even deliberately indulged them.

The more Chu Hanfeng was provoked and went mad, the better it was for Qi Ning, making it easier for her to carry out her plans.

What are you daydreaming about?

Yue Zeyuan sat down in front of Qi Ning and noticed her absent-mindedly holding a chess piece, so he asked her a question.

Qi Ning had only been communicating with the system for a brief moment when Yue Zeyuan discovered something amiss.

She looked at Yue Zeyuan and denied it outright: "What do you mean by being distracted? I was just thinking about my next move."

Yue Zeyuan suddenly chuckled: "Do you think I can't tell if you're thinking about chess or just daydreaming?"

He had been staring at Qi Ning the whole time, and he could see her little expressions clearly. She was obviously thinking about something else, not how to play chess.

Yue Zeyuan tapped the chessboard with his finger, deliberately putting on a cold face to scare him: "Tell me honestly, what were you thinking just now?"

Qi Ning naturally couldn't tell the truth, so she immediately threw down the chess piece in her hand.

I'm not logging off!

Yue Zeyuan raised an eyebrow slightly: "You just said you wanted me to play chess with you, so why are you saying you don't want to play anymore?"

Qi Ning turned her face away: "I just don't want to play anymore, it's boring."

Yue Zeyuan was both amused and exasperated.

He was just trying to scare her, wanting her to tell him what she was thinking, but she got even angrier than him.

"You have quite the temper. I only asked you one question, and you're already unhappy?"

If it were anyone else, such as Eunuch Xu and Yulan who were serving nearby, their legs would have gone weak with fear upon hearing Yue Zeyuan's words.

But Qi Ning just played with the sachet at her waist: "I was born with this temperament."

But Yue Zeyuan didn't hold it against her.

He stared at Qi Ning for a moment, then reached out to take her hand and said in a gentler tone, "Alright, I won't say anything more to you. Let's continue playing chess."

Qi Ning then glanced at Yue Zeyuan and said, "Hmph, then you have to give me a chance."

Yue Zeyuan even suspected that she had been lost in thought just now because she was figuring out how to get him to let her win the game.

He reluctantly agreed: "Fine, then I'll give you the benefit of the doubt."

"That's pretty much it."

Qi Ning then smiled and continued playing chess with Yue Zeyuan.

Seeing this, Yun Jing, who was standing by, lowered her head to hide the emotions in her eyes.

Since she almost got punished by Yue Zeyuan last time, Yun Jing has become much more restrained.

She knew that only by surviving could she have a chance to get out. Yun Jing didn't want to die at Yue Zeyuan's hands, so she remained quite well-behaved and obedient after that.

Yun Jing was quite surprised that Qi Ning and Yue Zeyuan's relationship had become so good recently.

Just now, Qi Ning was being so unreasonable, yet Yue Zeyuan still indulged her.

Yun Jing had to admire Ning'er's ability; she had actually managed to get Yue Zeyuan under her thumb.

It's rather laughable that Yue Zeyuan, as the emperor, was so easily manipulated by a lowly servant.

If it were Chu Hanfeng, he definitely wouldn't be easily fooled by a woman.

I wonder what will happen to Ning'er when Yue Zeyuan finds out the truth and realizes he was deceived by a maid.

They're probably going to die a horrible death, right?

However, when the truth is exposed, Ning'er will not have a good ending, and she may not have a good ending either.

Unless... unless Chu Hanfeng comes to save her...

But does Chu Hanfeng still remember her?
