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

When Yun Jing said this, the entire hall fell silent for a moment, as if everyone had been frozen in place.

Even the two eunuchs who were about to drag Yun Jing away stopped instinctively.

Yue Zeyuan sat at the head of the table, his eyes suddenly darkening.

He gripped his wine glass tightly, staring blankly at Yun Jing: "What did you say?"

Yun Jing broke free from the two eunuchs, took a few steps forward, and pointed at Qi Ning.

“I said, she’s a fake. I am Princess Pingning, sent by the Chu Kingdom for a marriage alliance. She is just my personal maid who came with me. She’s impersonating me!”

Yun Jing looked at Qi Ning with a smug expression, feeling utterly delighted.

She thought to herself, Ning'er definitely didn't expect that she would actually expose her true identity, and in this particular setting no less.

During this time, Yun Jing, under the guise of a palace maid, lived a life of humiliation and fear, constantly being looked down upon and bullied by her former maids. She had long since had enough of this kind of life.

She wanted to make Ning'er pay the price, to plunge her into an abyss of no return!

Upon further reflection, she realized that after today, she would regain her true identity and have the opportunity to regain her freedom, which made Yun Jing even happier.

"You all don't know, do you? I am Yun Jing, the only daughter of the King of Chu, and I am the real Princess Pingning. This servant girl has been impersonating me!"

Yun Jing's expression gradually became somewhat deranged; she had waited far too long for this day.

"Yue Zeyuan, Yue Zeyuan, you call yourself the emperor of Yue, yet you were completely fooled by one of my princess's maids, believing her to be a real princess sent for a political marriage, and showering her with affection. Too bad, you've been played! Hahaha!"

Hearing Yun Jing's words, the guests at the table were shocked and surprised. They whispered among themselves and started discussing the matter.

"What? Consort Ning is actually a maid in disguise? Is that true or false?"

"No way, how could His Majesty be so blind to people and be fooled by a mere maid?"

“That’s right, Consort Ning’s maid seems a bit crazy. This is too outrageous. How could it be true?”

"How could it be impossible? This doesn't just happen out of thin air; there might really be a problem."

"If that's true, then His Majesty has truly been fooled by a maid from Chu... This is an utter disgrace to Yue!"

Sitting at the head of the table, Yue Zeyuan ignored the discussions below. After hearing Yun Jing's words, his first reaction was to look at Qi Ning sitting next to him.

Qi Ning looked up and met his gaze, then quickly lowered her eyes again, remaining silent without saying a word.

She didn't refute it!

She didn't utter a single word in rebuttal!

Yue Zeyuan controlled his slightly trembling hands, withdrew his gaze, and looked down at the people below.

Yun Jing was still jumping around in the main hall, saying sarcastic and mocking things, and she also mentioned Shen Yixiao.

"Yue Zeyuan, Shen Yixiao, whom you have imprisoned, is the eldest son of the General of the Northern Garrison of Chu. I, the princess, advise you to release us immediately, otherwise Chu will not let this go."

The other guests and envoys from the two small countries had different expressions, whispering among themselves and glancing at Yue Zeyuan and Qi Ning from time to time, waiting for their reaction.

Yue Zeyuan's gaze was unfocused, his expression changed uncontrollably, and he almost crushed the wine glass in his hand.

"Host! Host! What do we do? What do we do?!"

The system was in a panic, like an ant on a hot pan.

"Yun Jing actually chose this moment to expose your identity, what are we going to do!"

Qi Ning looked down at the food and wine on the table and replied to the system: "What's the panic? Even if Yun Jing doesn't expose my identity, it won't be long before Chu Hanfeng gets the news, and then my identity will still be exposed."

"This was bound to happen sooner or later. I never intended to keep it from Yue Zeyuan forever. Yun Jing just revealed it ahead of time today."

"But Yun Jing's choice to expose you at this time shows she has ulterior motives."

The system continued, "She's made a huge scene, putting Yue Zeyuan in an awkward position. Who knows what he might do in a fit of rage? Look at his face right now, it's terrifying!"

Yun Jing's choice of timing was indeed quite good for her.

Qi Ning understood her little scheme; she just wanted to use this opportunity to make a big fuss.

On the one hand, they can protect themselves by having so many outsiders around.

On the other hand, she wanted to humiliate Yue Zeyuan and make him punish her in a fit of rage, thus achieving her revenge.

The current situation seems terrible for Qi Ning, but it's not beyond repair.

"Don't worry, Yue Zeyuan won't question me on the spot."

Knowing Yue Zeyuan as Qi Ning does, he would never question her about the truth in front of so many people.

Firstly, Yue Zeyuan wouldn't want to embarrass her in front of so many people.

Secondly, this is not a glorious thing, and Yue Zeyuan also cares about his reputation.

Even if it weren't for her, but for his own sake and for the sake of the royal family's dignity, he would choose to handle it privately and maintain appearances.

Besides, Yue Zeyuan must have already known the truth from that glance he gave her, so there was no need to question him on the spot. Otherwise, he would be doing Yun Jing's wish, contradicting himself, and making an even bigger fool of himself.

As expected, Yue Zeyuan reacted after a moment of contemplation.

He said coldly, "This servant girl is insane. She must be having a fit of hysteria to be spouting nonsense here. What are you waiting for? Quickly gag her and take her away!"

Upon hearing this, the two eunuchs immediately stepped forward, grabbed Yun Jing, and tried to cover her mouth and take her away.

Yun Jing didn't expect Yue Zeyuan to react this way.

In her imagination, Yue Zeyuan should be furious and question Ning'er about the truth of the matter, instead of accusing her of delirium and talking nonsense.

"Don't pull me! Don't pull me! This princess isn't delirious!"

Yun Jing struggled desperately, shouting at Yue Zeyuan, "Yue Zeyuan, don't you believe what I'm saying? I am the real princess sent for a political marriage, and Consort Ning is just my servant. If you don't believe me, ask her yourself..."

However, no matter how much Yun Jing struggled, she was still a woman and her strength was no match for the two eunuchs.

She was still covered by the eunuch's hand, sobbing as she was forcibly dragged away.

Yun Jing was taken away, and the hall fell silent.

Yue Zeyuan then looked at Qi Ning sitting next to him again.

"Concubine Ning."

He uttered those two words.

Qi Ning looked up at Yue Zeyuan, stood up, and replied, "Your Majesty."

She said nothing else.

She had no intention of explaining herself to him in this place, in front of others.

Yue Zeyuan stared intently at Qi Ning's face, his eyes swirling with emotion, and the veins on his hand gripping the wine glass bulged.

After a while, he acted as if nothing had happened, speaking in a gentle tone and with a calm expression, "You've been frightened, go back to the palace to rest."

Then, he instructed Eunuch Xu: "Xu Deyou, arrange for someone to escort Consort Ning back to the palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Xu agreed and walked to Qi Ning's side: "Your Highness Consort Ning, please."

Qi Ning naturally didn't say anything more and left with Eunuch Xu.

Yue Zeyuan stared ahead, glancing out of the corner of his eye as the hem of the skirt disappeared.
