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

Yue Zeyuan frowned upon hearing Qi Ning's words.

"I do not deny that I did not want you to conceive the imperial heir before."

"But that was because you had just arrived in Yue at that time. I was mindful of your status. You were a princess of Chu and the orphan of the King of Yun. You could be considered Yue's sworn enemy. I was the emperor of Yue, so it was only natural for me to be more wary of you."

Qi Ning chuckled, deliberately picking a fight: "Yes, the reason you didn't refute what that old Duke said on the Emperor's birthday is because you actually agreed with that statement, right?"

That's right, at that time Yue Zeyuan was considering the issue entirely from the perspective of the Yue Kingdom.

In his mind, even if Consort Ning, as a princess of Chu, came to marry him and became his concubine, she absolutely could not conceive a royal heir, otherwise there would be a risk of shaking the foundation of the country.

Even if he were to give her the opportunity to bear the emperor's child, it would only be after he had an empress and the empress had given birth to the eldest son of the legitimate wife. It would be absolutely impossible for the Chu princess to give birth to the eldest son of the Yue emperor.

Yue Zeyuan was silent for a moment, then replied, "Yes, you guessed right."

But he immediately added, "That was my previous idea. After the Emperor's birthday celebration, I gradually changed my mind."

"What's the difference?"

"Of course."

Yue Zeyuan reached out and hugged Qi Ning: "Of course there are differences."

In fact, Yue Zeyuan couldn't quite put his finger on what was different.

But in his heart, it was different.

It was as if the relationship between him and her was no longer just that of an enemy emperor and an enemy princess, but more like that of mutual affection.

Moreover, Yue Zeyuan has learned more about her over this period of time and knows that she has no connection with the Chu Kingdom. In fact, because the Chu Kingdom forced her to come for a marriage alliance, she still harbors some resentment towards Chu Hanfeng and others.

Yue Zeyuan no longer treated her as an ordinary princess sent for a political marriage, but as one of his own.

"In short, I no longer have those concerns. I want you to give birth to my child, do you understand?"

"I don't know."

Qi Ning pushed Yue Zeyuan away.

She said coldly, "You only care about what you think. Have you ever thought about what I think? You may be willing, but I'm not. Who said that just because you want me to have your child, I have to?"

Yue Zeyuan's expression stiffened slightly.

His arm, which Qi Ning had pushed away, rested on the railing of the small couch. His fingers traced the railing as he asked her, "Why don't you want to?"

"Why should I be willing?" Qi Ning asked, tilting her head back.

"You don't want to have my child. Is it because you're angry with me about what happened before, or...?"

At this point, Yue Zeyuan's expression also turned grim: "Is it still because of Chu Hanfeng, or perhaps Shen Yixiao?"

Qi Ning was not afraid at all: "Think whatever you want, I'm not willing."

She then reached out her hand to Yue Zeyuan: "Give me back that contraceptive pill."

Yue Zeyuan stared at her intently.

If it were someone else, upon hearing Qi Ning's words, they would probably assume that she had another man in her heart, which was why she was unwilling to have his child.

But Yue Zeyuan is not someone who gets blinded by anger; on the contrary, his mind becomes clearer in such situations.

If Consort Ning truly still harbored feelings for Chu Hanfeng or Shen Yixiao, then it wouldn't just be a matter of not wanting to have his child; she should also resist his touching her.

But after the Emperor's birthday celebration, she clearly no longer resisted his touch, nor refused to be intimate with him.

This doesn't make sense.

Since she doesn't resist intimacy with him, why is she unwilling to have his child?

While Yue Zeyuan was pondering Qi Ning, Qi Ning was also eyeing Yue Zeyuan.

She had deliberately provoked Yue Zeyuan, but he didn't get angry; he just looked at her without saying a word.

This made Qi Ning feel somewhat uncertain.

"Give me back my medicine," she urged again.

Looking at Qi Ning's stubborn expression, Yue Zeyuan suddenly reached out and grasped her hand, but still did not return the pill to her.

"you……"

Qi Ning looked at him, puzzled.

Yue Zeyuan sighed softly: "You're right. It was all my fault before. I didn't consider your feelings. Since you don't want to have children now, let's put this matter aside for now and discuss it later."

"what?"

Qi Ning opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Why is Yue Zeyuan not playing by the rules?

She deliberately provoked him like that, so why wasn't he angry? Instead, he apologized to her.

"Ah for what."

Yue Zeyuan chuckled as he looked at Qi Ning's dazed expression.

He lowered his head and pecked her lips.

Qi Ning was completely dumbfounded.

"Aren't you angry?"

"Why am I angry?"

"You're not angry that I don't want to have your child?"

Yue Zeyuan smiled and said slowly, "There was indeed a bit of that just now, but after thinking about it carefully, what you said is not without reason. It is normal for you to be unwilling now. I will not force you. I can give you time to slowly change your mind."

Qi Ning never expected Yue Zeyuan to react this way.

She was both amused and exasperated.

This shows that Yue Zeyuan is a decent person; he didn't force or coerce her in a domineering way.

But Qi Ning had not forgotten his true purpose.

"That contraceptive pill..."

"I cannot return that contraceptive pill to you."

Before Qi Ning could finish speaking, Yue Zeyuan interrupted her.

"Why? Didn't you say you wouldn't force me?"

"I did say that I wouldn't force you to have children, but you can no longer take this contraceptive."

"That won't do. How can we prevent pregnancy without taking contraceptive pills?"

"I will have the imperial physician come over to take your pulse and check the medicine. I will also prescribe a gentle medicine to help you recover."

No matter how you look at it, Yue Zeyuan still wanted the imperial physician to come and examine the medicine.

"There's no need for that."

Qi Ning chuckled twice: "This contraceptive pill is something I brought from the State of Chu. It was specially prepared for me by the imperial physician of Chu. It is a top-quality medicine that will not harm the body, so there is no need to prepare any other medicine."

"Foolish," Yue Zeyuan said lightly.

"Think about it, Chu Hanfeng and the others are forcing you to come here for a marriage alliance, and they've even sent maids to monitor you. Do you think they'd be kind enough to give you any medicine that won't harm your body?"

Qi Ning was taken aback by his words.

"Hehe... No way, the imperial physician who prescribed my medicine is trustworthy."

"What do you mean by trust or not? The imperial physicians of Chu only obey Chu Hanfeng and will not consider any personal relationships with you."

Yue Zeyuan didn't believe Chu Hanfeng was a good person.

He insisted, "If you don't believe me, let the imperial physician examine it, and then you'll know whether this medicine is harmful to the body or not."

After saying that, he instructed Eunuch Xu, who was guarding outside, "Xu Deyou, go and summon the imperial physician immediately."

"Wait!" Qi Ning stopped him.

Yue Zeyuan's expression changed drastically.

He stared at Qi Ning, his voice turning cold.

"Tell me honestly, what kind of medicine is this?"
