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

The dressing case contained many pieces of jewelry, but in the corner of the case, there was a small ball of oiled paper that looked very suspicious.

Yue Zeyuan put down the hairpin in his hand and took out the ball of oiled paper.

As soon as he got his hands on it, he immediately sensed that something was wrapped inside the oiled paper ball.

Yue Zeyuan unfolded the oiled paper and saw a small black pill.

"Host, it's not good!"

Qi Ning was leisurely soaking in the bathtub when she suddenly heard the system's startled voice, and she knew that something had happened again.

"what happened?"

"Yue Zeyuan found the pill in your makeup box!"

"medicine?"

Qi Ning remembered that there was indeed a small pill in her makeup box, which was the antidote that Chu Xiyue had sent over in the bamboo tube that Chu Xiyue had placed on the leg of a carrier pigeon.

However, Qi Ning had already taken the antidote provided by the system the very night she transmigrated, so the antidotes sent by Chu Xiyue were useless. And those pills couldn't be thrown away carelessly, so Qi Ning disposed of them each time.

The antidote in the makeup box was the one Chu Xiyue had given me last time.

Just as Qi Ning was about to deal with the pill that day, Yue Zeyuan happened to come over.

Qi Ning was afraid that Yue Zeyuan would see the pill, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.

In her haste, she casually stuffed the pill into the bottom drawer of her makeup box.

Later, she was busy dealing with Yue Zeyuan and for a while forgot about it.

"Why would he touch that small drawer? Did he specifically search for it?"

That small drawer contained jewelry that was rarely used; even the palace servants like Yulan seldom opened it.

Even if a normal person opens a drawer, they would open the top drawer, right? But that little drawer is at the very bottom.

“No, not at all,” the system said. “He just casually opened that small drawer and spotted the little pill in the corner.”

Qi Ning: "..."

Well, she wasn't in the mood for a leisurely bath right now.

She considered it for a moment, then decided to simply deny that it was hers and let Yue Zeyuan investigate.

But that doesn't seem like it will work. That's her makeup box. Who else could have put the things in it besides her? Would the palace maids put pills in her makeup box?

If she doesn't admit it, and Yue Zeyuan takes it seriously, wouldn't he have to summon all the palace servants and question them one by one? That would be even more troublesome.

This matter cannot be blamed on Yun Jing in the same way as the matter of the carrier pigeon.

Regarding the matter of sending a message to the State of Chu via carrier pigeon, in order not to alert the enemy, Yue Zeyuan would not confront Yun Jing. However, the situation with that medicine is different.

It seems she still needs to address this.

Qi Ning emerged from the bath: "Yulan, help me change my clothes."

Yulan, who was serving her, looked puzzled. Just now, their lady was taking her bath at a leisurely pace. Why was she suddenly in such a hurry to change her clothes?

Hearing Qi Ning say this, Yu Lan didn't have time to ask any more questions, and led the palace servants to help Qi Ning change her clothes.

When Qi Ning finished getting ready and hurriedly returned to her bedchamber, she saw Yue Zeyuan sitting in front of her dressing table, looking down at the pill.

so far so good.

Qi Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she returned in time; Yue Zeyuan had not yet sent anyone to have the medicine examined by the imperial physician.

Qi Ning slowed her pace, composed herself, and then walked over.

Hearing Qi Ning's footsteps, Yue Zeyuan looked up: "You're back?"

"Yes, what are you doing sitting here?"

Qi Ning looked at Yue Zeyuan's hand and asked him, "What are you holding in your hand?"

Since Qi Ning had seen it, Yue Zeyuan gave Yulan a look.

Yulan understood, curtsied, and quickly led the other palace servants out.

"I found a pill in your makeup box."

Yue Zeyuan stretched out his hand, opened his palm, and the small pill was clearly visible in his palm.

"Why are you rummaging through my makeup box for no reason?" Qi Ning said, feigning annoyance.

"I didn't look through it; I just discovered it by chance."

He gave a brief explanation, then asked, "Tell me first, what kind of pill is this?"

"What kind of pills? Let me see."

Qi Ning took two steps closer, wanting to take the pill from Yue Zeyuan's hand, but Yue Zeyuan withdrew his hand, not giving her a chance to touch the pill.

Qi Ning originally intended to take the pill and switch it with another one when he wasn't looking, but she didn't expect him to be so wary of her.

"Tell me first what kind of medicine this is? This is something from your makeup box, so don't tell me you don't know it or don't remember it."

Qi Ning then slightly pursed her lips and turned the tables: "You didn't even give me a proper look at what the pill looked like. I couldn't remember it for a moment."

"Do you remember now? What is it?" Yue Zeyuan asked again.

“I remember now.” Qi Ning pointed to the makeup box. “I put a contraceptive pill in this makeup box last time.”

"Contraceptive pills," Yue Zeyuan repeated.

When Yue Zeyuan saw the pill, his first guess was that it was a contraceptive pill.

"That's right, it's a contraceptive pill."

Qi Ning raised her eyebrows, showing no sign of guilt. Instead, she said confidently, "Didn't you send Eunuch Xu over to deliver the contraceptive soup, preventing me from giving birth to the imperial heir?"

"Later, I didn't drink the contraceptive soup that Eunuch Xu brought over because I had already prepared contraceptive medicine. Look, this is it."

She held out her hand to Yue Zeyuan: "If you know, give it back to me. I still want to eat."

Yue Zeyuan glanced down at the pills in his hand again, but still showed no intention of returning them to Qi Ning.

"Give it to me," Qi Ning urged.

Yue Zeyuan put the pill away: "Don't take it. I'll have the imperial physician examine this pill."

After saying that, he seemed to be calling for someone outside.

Qi Ning quickly pretended to be angry and questioned, "What do you mean? Don't you believe what I said?"

"I do not distrust you."

"Since you don't distrust me, why don't you return the pills to me and instead have the imperial physician examine them? Doesn't that mean you don't trust me?"

Qi Ning flicked her sleeves and stormed over to sit down on the small couch.

Seeing this, Yue Zeyuan put aside the matter of summoning the imperial physician for the time being, and went to the small couch to sit down next to Qi Ning.

Qi Ning moved to the side, turned sideways, and snorted coldly.

Yue Zeyuan looked at her and patiently explained, "What I mean is, you should stop taking this contraceptive pill."

"I sent the imperial physician to examine the medicine, not because I don't trust you, but because I wanted him to see what the ingredients were and take your pulse so that he could prescribe the right medicine to help you recover."

Qi Ning turned around: "What, you're telling me not to take contraceptives?"

"Yes." Yue Zeyuan nodded slightly.

"How about that?"

Qi Ning's face was full of rejection.

"Why not?"

Yue Zeyuan's eyes darkened: "Could it be that you don't want to conceive my child?"

“That’s right.” Qi Ning did not deny it.

Since Yue Zeyuan truly believed it was a contraceptive, Qi Ning continued to guide him, encouraging him to continue believing.

She also brought up old grievances, deliberately trying to argue with him so that he wouldn't have time to suspect anything else, and at the same time, preventing him from having the imperial physician examine the medicine.

"Back then, you didn't want me to get pregnant with your child, and you even had Eunuch Xu send me contraceptive soup, saying that my status was not worthy of having your child."

"And last time during the Emperor's birthday celebration, that old Duke kept emphasizing the purity of bloodline. Wasn't that saying that the child I was carrying wasn't pure bloodline? Do you think I'm stupid and can't understand what he's saying? You didn't refute what the old Duke said at the time."

"Why have you changed your mind now? You don't want me to get pregnant, so I can't get pregnant? You want me to get pregnant, so I have to get pregnant? Why should I?"
