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

Yue Zeyuan said, "That's right, the current Consort Ning is not the real princess sent for a political marriage; that servant is the so-called princess sent for a political marriage."

"this?!"

Upon hearing Yue Zeyuan's words, the ministers below exchanged bewildered glances, utterly shocked.

It turns out that what the palace maid said at the banquet was true.

But did His Majesty already know all along, or was he deceived by that maid?

If His Majesty truly knew all along and intended to humiliate the State of Chu, why would he be so secretive and not admit it at the palace banquet? It doesn't seem like a humiliation, and it doesn't make much sense.

If His Majesty was truly deceived by a maid from Chu, then it is not His Majesty who has humiliated Chu, but Chu who has humiliated His Majesty!

"Your Majesty, this..."

The ministers below stammered, unsure how to begin their inquiry.

If His Majesty was truly deceived by that Chu maid, then for them to continue questioning him would be disrespectful to His Majesty's dignity, so no one dared to ask.

Yue Zeyuan chuckled.

"I know what you want to ask. You want to know if I knew all along, right?"

He said in a deep voice, "I did know about it long ago."

Upon hearing Yue Zeyuan's words, the ministers secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

They knew that their emperor would not be easily fooled by a mere maid.

Someone else asked, "Since Your Majesty already knew about this and wanted to use it to humiliate the Chu Kingdom, why didn't you reveal the true identity of the princess who was sent for a marriage alliance?"

"His Majesty allowed that maid to take the place of the princess sent for the peace treaty and doted on her, making outsiders think that His Majesty favored the princess of Chu. Wasn't that still giving face to Chu?"

Yue Zeyuan secretly admired Qi Ning's comprehensive thinking. He had accurately predicted the ministers' reactions and even devised a countermeasure in advance.

He calmly and directly stated the explanation that Qi Ning had prepared: "That's because the time is not yet right to announce it."

"It's alright to tell you now. Consort Ning was actually a spy that I placed in the Chu Kingdom years ago, and the Chu Kingdom was unaware of this."

"On the night she came to Yue with Princess Yun Jing, who was sent for a peace treaty, Yun Jing secretly ran away. I remembered Consort Ning's many years of hard work for me in Chu, so I let her take the place of the princess."

"Later, Yun Jing was captured and brought back by me. She still refused to admit that she was a princess sent for a political marriage. So I granted her wish and made her a servant. Rather than saying that I deliberately humiliated her, it would be more accurate to say that she brought this humiliation upon herself."

Upon hearing Yue Zeyuan say that Consort Ning was a spy he had sent to the Chu Kingdom years ago, the civil and military officials below suddenly realized that everything made sense.

"I see!"

"The Chu Kingdom is probably still in the dark, and doesn't know that Consort Ning is a spy sent by His Majesty, hahaha."

"Your Majesty is truly farsighted!"

The crowd was filled with admiration for Yue Zeyuan and knelt down, shouting in unison, "Your Majesty is wise! We are in awe!"

Looking at the scene before him, Yue Zeyuan thought to himself that his Ning'er was intelligent and had an exceptional ability to see through people's hearts. She even guessed their flattery perfectly.

At this moment, the ministers not only admired Yue Zeyuan immensely, but were also greatly encouraged upon learning that Yue Zeyuan's move had outmaneuvered the State of Chu.

A minister then asked, "Your Majesty, what are your plans for handling this letter from the State of Chu?"
