Quick Transmigration: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Die a Natural Death

As soon as Yao Feiran opened her eyes, she saw a boy looking at her with wise eyes, holding a cricket and trying to put it on her nose.

Yao Feiran punched the boy, and he immediately burst into tears.

"My sister hit me!"

A woman rushed over and hugged the boy, comforting him: "Third Prince, it's alright. The Fourth Princess just likes you."

Yao Feiran raised an eyebrow. The original owner of this body was actually a princess, and it seemed that her birth mother must have been of high status.

At this moment, a beautiful woman came out. She had a gentle appearance, but her eyes were sharp and she exuded a sense of power. The palace servants all knelt down.

"What's going on? Why is Che'er crying? What are you all thinking? Go and accept your punishment."

Yao Feiran walked over and said, "Mother, I was frightened by my brother, so I hit him."

Consort De glanced at Yao Feiran, noticing her pale face, and hugged her tenderly, saying, "Oh dear, you know you're not well, why did you come out? Go back to your room and rest."

As she spoke, Consort De grew increasingly angry and shouted, "Where are all the Fourth Princess's palace servants? Why isn't anyone with her?"

Soon a group of people arrived, all kneeling before Consort De. The head maid at the front kowtowed and said, "Your Highness, the Fourth Princess said she wanted the Third Prince to play, and she ran over in the blink of an eye. This servant was caught off guard and didn't have time to get there. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

"Hmph, you can't keep an eye on the Fourth Princess, and you even blame the problem on her? Do you think I'm a fool? Call the Imperial Prisoners over here, and give them each thirty lashes."

The old woman turned her head and looked at Yao Feiran with pleading eyes. Yao Feiran just hid behind Consort De in fear, while Consort De's eyes became even more sharp.

Yao Feiran found the body to be rather weak and soon became dizzy. Consort De took her into the room, covered her with a quilt, and ordered the servants to prepare medicinal soup for her to drink. After a busy night, Yao Feiran finally fell asleep and received the memories.

Her original name was Chen Feiran, the fourth princess of the Great Qi Dynasty. Her birth mother was Consort De, and she also had an older brother, Chen Zhaoche, who shared the same mother.

The original owner of this body was frail and sickly from birth and rarely went out. Consort De always felt guilty towards this youngest daughter because she had entered the situation herself in order to fight back against her opponents, which caused the original owner to be born prematurely. Therefore, she cherished her even more. As for her eldest son, she did not treat him as well as the original owner.

The eldest son was the third child. When Consort De entered the palace, she had a low rank, so she was adopted by a high-ranking concubine. The bond between mother and son was weak. Later, the concubine died in the palace intrigue, and Chen Zhaoche returned to Consort De's side.

According to the original storyline, Chen Zhaoche wanted to tease his younger sister, so he caught a cricket to scare her. As a result, the original owner was indeed frightened and developed a high fever that night. In the end, her condition worsened, and she passed away the next day.

In a way, Chen Zhaoche was indirectly responsible for the death of the original owner of this body. Even if he felt guilty afterward, it was no use.

Afterwards, Consort De disliked this son even more, making him kneel for days on end, and then coldly watching from the sidelines. In the end, Chen Zhaoche fell in love with a scheming woman, which caused the eldest daughter of the Duke of Dingguo's family to cancel her engagement and choose the fourth prince as her husband. Chen Zhaoche also lost his position as crown prince.

Lu Shuyun, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, has the luck of a female protagonist. Whether it's to slap someone in the face or not, the Duke of Dingguo's mansion almost holds all the power in the court. Lu Shuyun's brother is a general with military power, and her father is the prime minister.

Logically speaking, the imperial power would not allow a family to have both civil and military officials occupying high positions. The emperor must have felt that his position was too secure.

However, even if it is unreasonable, it does exist. Lu Shuyun turned around and broke off her engagement with Chen Zhaoche. Without the support of the Lu family, Chen Zhaoche was soon deposed as crown prince. Consort De did not like this son in the first place, so naturally she would not do anything for him.

The Fate-Defying Pearl spoke up: "Lu Shuyun is a reincarnation."

"So in the previous life, the original owner's brother probably betrayed Lu Shuyun for the sake of a scheming woman, and even harmed the entire Lu family. In this life, after Lu Shuyun was reborn, she broke off the engagement and chose another prince. In the end, she will definitely support that prince to ascend to the throne."

Yao Feiran pondered for a moment, wondering if Chen Zhaoche could be salvaged from his current state. If he could, it would be better for her if her own brother became emperor. However, if the fourth prince ascended the throne, Lu Shuyun might take her anger out on her, which would be quite unfortunate.

If all else fails, she will have to take the throne herself. However, in this peaceful and prosperous era, there has never been a case of a princess taking the throne. The main reason is that the original owner's father is also an old-fashioned person, so it will probably be difficult. Moreover, it may even disrupt the original peace of this dynasty and harm innocent people.

Chen Zhaoche is still young and there is room for him to be trained. In the original story, Consort De was heartless towards Chen Zhaoche because of the original owner's death, and in the end she did not teach him anything. She usually only used cold violence, which caused Chen Zhaoche to fall deeply in love with the gentle and considerate white lotus. If Lu Shuyun hadn't been blind in the previous life, how could she have let Chen Zhaoche become the emperor?

As for targeting the Lu family, executing the entire family would seem too ruthless, but if Yao Feiran were to become emperor, the Lu family would be weakened.

As it turns out, the Lu family can indeed influence the selection of the crown prince, and can even say that whoever Lu Shuyun marries will become the crown prince, which is a huge threat to the imperial power.

Yao Feiran pondered for a while, thinking about what she should do in the future, and soon fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, I saw a small figure standing by the bed, looking worried.

"Fourth Sister, are you alright? I didn't know you were sick. I just got back."

"I'm fine. Don't scare me like that again, or I'll beat you up."

Yao Feiran thought that this scumbag was able to correct his mistakes when he was young, but judging from his dejected look, he must have just returned to Consort De's side and didn't know how to get along with the original owner, so he used the most stupid method.

It's like when boys were kids, they would deliberately bully the girls they liked in order to get their attention.

"Third Brother, do you hate me?"

"I don't dislike you. I just saw you holed up in your room, looking bored, so I wanted to scare you."

"I don't like being scared. If you don't dislike me, you can study with me. I get bored by myself anyway."

Chen Zhaoche seemed to be invited for the first time, nodding vigorously in agreement. Speaking of this child, after he was adopted, the concubine quickly became pregnant and gave birth to a prince, so she naturally didn't care about this adopted child and he was always neglected.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you tell me to do."

Yao Feiran raised an eyebrow. This kid is still quite naive now; we'll see how he behaves later and whether he'll be obedient.

After Chen Zhaoche left, a pale-faced old woman in yellow ran over and knelt before him, saying, "Your Highness, I have served you for so long. Please, I beg you, plead for me and don't let Her Highness send me away."

"You've served me for so long, have you ever put your heart into it? When Mother came, you were very attentive, but after she left, you ignored me, thinking I was too soft-hearted. You even scolded me for not following the rules and wouldn't let me eat dinner, afraid it would affect your rest."
