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

Chapter 149 The Vicious Dancer in a Transmigration Novel [The End]

Bai Zhiwei let out a suppressed sob.

Seeing that the situation had improved, the guards immediately drew their swords and captured him, awaiting orders.

The old emperor's cloudy eyes were now burning with rage. He pointed at Prime Minister Bai, his hand trembling with anger: "Bai Zhiwei, how dare you mock me! Who gave you the audacity to rebel!"

He was angry about many things. Besides being betrayed, he also felt guilty and wary of Zhong Linjian. He had listened to slander and made things difficult for his most loyal general. He wondered if the other party would harbor resentment.

But he also noticed something was wrong.

Ni Qing's skills were very strange. Although she seemed to lack strength, her moves were clean and swift, and she seemed to be used to seeing blood. Unlike ordinary women, she did not show any fear.

"Guards, seize Ni Qing as well!" he ordered coldly. As an emperor, he believed it was better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free, especially when something threatened his life.

The guards hesitated, but he was still the emperor, and orders had to be obeyed. Just as they were about to step forward, they saw the seemingly emotionless general raise his eyes.

"What does Your Majesty mean by this?" He appeared expressionless, but his tone sent chills down one's spine.

The old emperor smiled ingratiatingly: "I have no intention of targeting the general. It's just that her actions just now were extraordinary, and coupled with Bai Zhiwei's mention of accomplices, it's hard for me to let it go. I promise you, I will only conduct an interrogation, and if there are no doubts, she will be released without charge."

Ni Qing had already anticipated this; how could someone as cunning and shrewd as the emperor be so easily fooled?

But she didn't expect Zhong Linjian to retort so bluntly and without any restraint: "She is my person, and all her self-defense skills were taught to her by me in private. How can Your Majesty make such arbitrary judgments?"

He was quite impolite, but the old emperor didn't dare to utter a word. He could only say, "It was my oversight. This banquet was originally for farewell, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this. I apologize to the envoys."

The envoys looked at each other, thinking that Bai Zhiwei was utterly useless. At the same time, they were puzzled by Ni Qing, who not only did not join forces with him to kill the emperor, but also got involved with this so-called general.

She staged a dramatic scene of protecting the emperor; could she have other plans?

Zhong Linjian, who was usually silent, suddenly became aggressive: "Doesn't Your Majesty want the military tally back? I am willing to return it, I only ask for peace for the rest of my life."

Upon hearing this, the senior officials were the first to panic.

"General, you mustn't, you mustn't!"

"Without your protection, there would be no prosperity today. Why don't you continue to take charge of the military command?"

Even the old emperor chimed in, "Yes, after much thought, I've decided to entrust the military tally to you. Don't let me down!"

They speak better than they sing.

The man glanced at Ni Qing beside him, and was about to say something more, but the girl pressed his wrist. She smiled and said calmly, "Alright, General, let's leave it at that for now."

She could almost guess why he was in such a hurry.

The man, who had just been looking agitated, instantly calmed down. Almost everyone could see how much the general favored this girl, which was a fatal blow to someone who had fought on the battlefield.

It was precisely at times like these that they became increasingly perplexed. Was it that the general was too engrossed in the company of beautiful women, leading to a momentary lapse in judgment and the exposure of his weakness, or was it that the opponent was too confident and unafraid of any vulnerability?

Ni Qing was very satisfied with his blatant pampering. She didn't care about what others thought, but she wouldn't become a handle for him to use against her, and her personality wouldn't allow it.

She would only become his more powerful weapon, although it was a little inappropriate to say that, but she was happy about it.

Ni Qing was most satisfied with her identity as an assassin, at least she wasn't a parasite.

The sky was still azure, the red ribbons fluttered, and a warm breeze blew. The only difference was the heavy atmosphere and the bloodstains on the ground. Bai Zhiwei had been imprisoned, and apart from the general, no one else had the appetite to eat or drink.

"Your Majesty, I have another favor to ask of you."

He spoke calmly, and everyone's attention was involuntarily drawn to him. Ever since the chaos earlier, the old emperor had been terrified whenever he spoke.

"You said."

He asked quickly.

Actually, it wasn't a big deal. Zhong Linjian looked up and answered sincerely, "Didn't His Majesty ask me about my marriage a few days ago?"

The old emperor breathed a sigh of relief: "Do you have someone you love? Do you need me to issue a decree for your marriage?"

Zhu Yunxi was already completely drunk. Upon hearing this, she secretly clenched the soft flesh of her legs, her face flushed with nervousness. In the original story, this general clearly did not have a wife, so why was he bringing it up at this time?

Did she really transmigrate into a book or not? Why is everything so different from what she imagined?

Zhong Linjian nodded leisurely, seemingly unconcerned: "I wish to marry Miss Ni Qing and have her as my only wife."

He was referring to his wife, not his concubine, yet these two terms carry entirely different weight. When the old emperor initially sent Ni Qing to him, he only intended for her to be his bed warmer.

He was speechless with astonishment: "You want to marry a dancer as your general's wife?"

He was both pleased and worried. He was pleased that if Ni Qing really became the general's wife, then she wouldn't have any powerful background and would pose no threat. He was worried because she happened to be from an enemy country; what if she were to turn them against him someday…

Those present didn't understand, and some even tried to offer kind advice, but were stopped by a single look from the other party.

In truth, Zhong Linjian had no need to do this. Even if they married in private, they would still have a formal status. His only purpose in doing so was to announce it to the whole world.

Hmm...that's something.

She originally thought she would be treated as a suspicious person and follow the plot, be imprisoned and tortured, and finally die in a foreign land.

In fact, it didn't.

After much hesitation, the old emperor finally agreed: "Since this is General Zhong's private matter, I will not say much. I grant your request."

Zhong Linjian also got her wish and chose a date to get married.

Ni Qing donned a fiery red wedding gown, her golden hair cascading down to her waist, revealing delicate, fair skin. Under the meticulous guidance of her grandmother, she married the general.

Not long after his marriage, he volunteered to go to the border, taking his young wife with him on his way. The old emperor was also quite resilient; even with his body so severely weakened, he managed to hold on for a year or two with the help of medicinal herbs.

When Zhong Linjian returned to the capital, news of the emperor's death arrived.

That year, a heavy snow fell, and the snow in the bustling alley was trampled into uneven patches. Children laughed and played, their faces reddened by the cold wind, but they were having a great time.

Zhong Linjian has matured a lot in the past two years, and he and Ni Qing each rode a warhorse back to the capital.

This caused the common people to crane their necks and look around.

"Mother, is this the general? He looks so majestic! I want to be a general when I grow up."

The innocent voice of a child rang out longingly.

Then his mother replied, "Last time you said you wanted to be an official who punishes evil and promotes good, why do you want to be a general now?"

"I've changed, I want to be a general! Hey, who's that lady over there?"

"That's the general's wife."

In the same year, ministers advised the general to ascend the throne for the sake of the country, but Zhong Linjian refused and instead supported an outstanding new emperor to ascend the throne.

May the rest of my life be blessed with good weather and abundant harvests, and may I live a free and unrestrained life.

And his favorite wife.

The world is ending.
