Quick Transmigration: The Villainous Female Supporting Character Became the Male Lead's Beloved

Chapter 136 The Vicious Dancer in a Transmigration Novel 6

Zhong Linjian raised his eyes and stared intently at the old emperor. Logically speaking, this should have been a serious offense of disrespect, but due to his military power and strength, the old emperor did not dare to utter a sound.

After a long pause, he lowered his eyelashes and said indifferently, "The country comes first, then family affections. The situation is still turbulent. If anything were to happen to us, my ancestors in heaven would not be able to rest in peace."

The old emperor punched cotton. His expression remained unchanged, but he said in a serious tone, "General Zhong has a long-term vision. With you as my advisor, I feel very at ease."

The man in the black robe stood still and gave a barely perceptible sneer.

Ni Qing's assassination plan ultimately failed, and she returned to her original residence.

It was late at night. After washing up, she lay down on the bed, her exhaustion evident. If she didn't sleep soon, the roosters would crow.

Just as she was drifting off to sleep, she heard a faint noise coming from the window. Instinctively, she opened her eyes instantly, her drowsiness vanishing in an instant.

A man in black stood before the bed, holding a sharp dagger that gleamed coldly as he lunged at the patient. His methods were ruthless, but he had no intention of killing him.

Ni Qing's eyes flickered for a moment before she quickly dodged, her expression hidden in the darkness suggesting she had expected it, but her tone was filled with terror: "Help! There's an assassin!"

This is a normal reaction for a woman who is completely defenseless.

The next second, a rough hand suddenly grabbed her chin, pinning her against the wall so she couldn't move, and a strange, cold fragrance filled her nostrils.

The cries for help stopped abruptly at that moment.

The newcomer's hot breath hit her face; they were incredibly close. A moment later, he raised the dagger again, attempting to plunge it into her neck.

The girl from the Western Regions seemed quite frightened, her eyes tightly closed, her soft, golden curly hair cascading down her back, and her thick, curled eyelashes trembling slightly.

The pain came from her neck; she had been knocked unconscious.

The man in black, his face masked, stood quietly in front of her, his arms hanging naturally at his sides, a sharp dagger casually held in his hand.

Her cry for help did have some effect. After a while, she could faintly hear footsteps outside. The man pursed his lips, picked her up and put her back on the bed, then quietly climbed out the window and left.

The moment he landed, Ni Qing's door was pushed open.

The two dancers lived nearby and rushed over when they heard the commotion. As soon as they entered the room, they lit the lamps and hurried to her bedside.

"Ni Qing, Ni Qing! Did you just call out? What happened?"

They nudged the person on the bed who had their eyes closed.

The next second, the person who should have been knocked unconscious opened his eyes, his gaze clear, and calmly said, "There was an assassin just now."

"Are you alright? What does the person who came look like?" Their eyes sharpened, and they became somewhat wary.

They had a heavy responsibility to fulfill, and they absolutely could not afford to encounter any mishaps before they had taken the old emperor's life. The reason they were in such a hurry was because Ni Qing was the most outstanding among their group.

It's not just about her appearance, but more about her abilities. Few can match her, let alone force someone to cry for help.

This is completely abnormal.

Ni Qing first avoided the question, asking instead, "Have you found anyone suspicious in the bedroom?"

The two shook their heads; it seemed this person had an ulterior motive.

Ni Qing pondered for a moment: "I didn't fight him. Judging from his skills, although he was ruthless, he was also very capable. It seemed like he was just testing my strength. So I kept a low profile, and the result was exactly as I expected."

She casually gave the two a few instructions, telling them to stay calm and not give anything away, and then fell asleep comfortably again. This time, nothing unexpected happened, and she slept soundly until dawn.

It wasn't until the sunlight streamed in through the window that some sounds began to appear.

"Someone, have everyone assemble in the courtyard." A somewhat unfamiliar female voice came from inside the mansion.

Then came a cacophony of footsteps and voices.

Not long after, there was a knock on Ni Qing's door.

"Miss! Our princess wants you to come out here." This person was the fifth princess's maid, and she shouted at the top of her lungs.

Ni Qing then belatedly realized that this was also an important part of the original plot. Today was a hunting party held among the princes, and the Fifth Princess wanted to raise the old emperor's guard.

He specially invited them to come and watch, and then took the opportunity to let them try to catch prey as well.

The original owner was somewhat careless at the time, and accidentally shot a deer with her longbow. Her archery was precise, killing it with a single blow. It was at this time that the old emperor gave them to Zhong Linjian.

After thinking for a moment, she got up, washed up, and went out.

The Fifth Princess looked over the moment she stepped out, and said with a smile, "Miss, there's a hunting competition in our palace today. Would you like to come and watch?"

Ni Qing's eyes lit up: "A hunt?" But her expression dimmed the next second. "But we're just dancers, we shouldn't be qualified to participate in watching, right?"

Seeing that there was a chance, the Fifth Princess quickly said, "Whether you are qualified or not is up to me. Just come with peace of mind. I will take responsibility for you if anything goes wrong."

Ni Qing was waiting for these words: "In that case, thank you in advance, Your Highness."
