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

"Want to know? I'm not telling you. You can die with that question in your heart."

Qi Ning turned around and sat back down in the chair.

She ordered, "Let's do it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The executioners were already waiting nearby, and upon hearing the order, they began to torture Helian Yao simultaneously.

Helian Yao let out a painful roar: "A'ning, why won't you give me a quick death? I want a quick death! I don't want to be tortured by a thousand cuts!"

"You have no choice."

Qi Ning replied coldly, then ordered the executioner, "Make him quiet."

"Yes."

The next moment, Helian Yao indeed became much quieter.

Although there were still some noises, they were not a big deal. Qi Ning listened to them while still having the mind to play chess with himself.

The time it took for the torture to last was the same time that Qi Ning played his chess game.

Until someone below reported, "Your Majesty, the execution is complete."

Qi Ning glanced at it before putting down the chess piece in her hand.

"What do you mean by 'crushed to ashes' and 'soul scattered'? Give him the same treatment."

After saying that, Qi Ning lifted his foot and left the place.

After Qi Ning ascended the throne, in addition to implementing many measures to benefit the people, his first priority was to carry out reforms to improve the well-being of women.

Establishing schools for women, allowing women to serve in government, and creating more suitable professions for women were all essential.

Qi Ning knew very well that only when there were more women with a voice in the world could she sit more securely on the throne; it was a win-win situation.

Sure enough, a few years after Qi Ning ascended the throne, there were more and more female officials in the court, and fewer and fewer voices questioning her.

Besides, since Qi Ning is an empress, it's only natural for her to keep male concubines. Among them are many talented and handsome high-ranking officials in the court, some with official titles and some without. Qi Ning has lost count of how many there are.

In the seventh year of Qi Ning's reign, when she was twenty-five years old, she gave birth to a daughter, who was also her only child.

Qi Ning named her Qi Yang and made her Crown Princess the day after her birth.

When Qi Yang was five years old, Qi Ning taught her to review memorials in the imperial study.

After reviewing the memorials, Qi Ning touched her hair and asked, "Yang'er, are you tired?"

Qi Yang shook his head: "I'm not tired, Mother. I have something to ask you."

"what's up?"

"Why do the Grand Secretary, the General of the North, the Marquis of Changping, the heir of the Duke of Xu, and those people in your harem all claim to be my father when they meet me? Who is my biological father?"

Qi Ning paused slightly as she stroked her daughter's hair. She withdrew her hand and cupped Qi Yang's little face in her hands: "So what did you say in response?"

"Your subject said that I need to return and ask Mother Empress."

Qi Ning was stumped by Qi Yang's question, as she didn't actually know who Qi Yang's biological father was.

It wasn't that Qi Ning couldn't know, but rather that she didn't want to know, deliberately keeping it vague and letting the fittest survive.

She didn't know, and neither did those people, that was why they believed Qi Yang was their daughter, and were able to wholeheartedly care for her and single-mindedly assist her.

Looking at Qi Yang's confused little eyes, Qi Ning smiled: "Yang'er, let me tell you, it doesn't matter who your biological father is. You only need to know that you are the emperor's daughter and the next emperor. As for the others, they are just your subjects."

Qi Yang nodded: "Your subject understands."

"That's good. Practice your calligraphy for a while, and then Mommy will take you out to play."

"Great."

Qi Yang immediately picked up his brush and began practicing calligraphy.

Qi Ning looked down at her and smiled silently.

When Qi Yang turned fifteen, Qi Ning passed the throne to her and abdicated to become the retired emperor.

After abdicating, she had more time to rest and often had people accompany her to stay at her temporary palace.

When she had nothing to do, she would stroll around the palace, admiring the flowers and feeding the fish.

The person accompanying Qi Ning, seeing her relaxed demeanor, suddenly said, "Your Majesty seems quite different from ordinary emperors."

"Oh?" Qi Ning raised her head and glanced at him. "The way you talk about it makes it sound like you've seen many emperors. You don't seem to be that old."

"Although I have not met many emperors, I have read a lot of books and have come to know many emperors through them."

"Well, tell me, how are they different? Is it because of the gender?"

He laughed: "No, Your Majesty is joking. The difference I am referring to is certainly not gender."

"what is that?"

"It's just a feeling."

He hesitated, thinking of his words: "Your Majesty, as the emperor, seems to value power very little, and also not much about things other than power."

Upon hearing this, Qi Ning roughly understood what he meant.

Throughout history, emperors have been reluctant to relinquish power. Moreover, they sought immortality, hoping to maintain their power for an extended period.

However, Qi Ning abdicated before he grew old, passing the throne to his daughter, and allowed himself to grow old naturally without pursuing any method of immortality.

Little did he know that Qi Ning had passed the throne to his daughter earlier so that she could secure the position while he was still alive, rather than hastily succeeding him after his death.

As for Qi Ning not pursuing the method of immortality, it's because after she leaves this world, she will continue to do missions with the system, which in a way can achieve immortality.

Thinking about it this way, Qi Ning really had no regrets in his life.

She didn't explain, lowering her eyes but smiling without saying a word.

By the time Qi Ning was old and nearing the end of his life, Qi Yang had already secured his throne and had his own heir.

She lay by Qi Ning's bedside, tears streaming down her face. Qi Ning took her hand and whispered in her ear, "Don't cry, Mother will tell you a secret..."

After hearing what Qi Ning said, Qi Yang stared at her blankly, and finally felt less sad.

Qi Ning smiled, closed her eyes, and peacefully departed from that world.

System Space

"Host, welcome back to the system space!"

The system's familiar voice sounded.

"Hehe, host, now you can become a full-fledged employee of our Quick Transmigration Bureau, right?"

"Ah."

Qi Ning has no regrets. She wants a new life and to start one new world after another.

[Ding, host, congratulations on becoming the 1186th official employee of the Quick Transmigration Bureau]

[Please prepare yourself, host, you are about to enter a new mission world.]
