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

Since gaining the emperor's favor, Yao Feiran has enjoyed many advantages. After much pleading, she was granted permission to leave the palace once a week, and was accompanied by several guards.

Everyone knows that the Fourth Princess loves to save people. Usually, the people she saves are sent to the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, and they are even given the support and training of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion as retainers. Later, many of them pretend to be beggars and appear in front of Yao Feiran.

Unfortunately, Yao Feiran only chooses people with great fortune and abilities beyond ordinary people. Even if an ordinary person dies in front of her, she won't give herself any more trouble.

This time, after leaving the palace, Yao Feiran ate and drank her way around, and it wasn't until the afternoon that she arrived at the Marquis's residence, where she was greeted by a handsome man.

The original owner's maternal uncle, Xiao Hong, the heir of the Marquis of Zhongyong.

Xiao Hong had long been used to his niece's frequent visits. Although she was young, she was more intelligent than most people and had a keen eye for talent.

"Uncle, where's Grandpa?"

"Father is still at the Ministry of Revenue," Xiao Hong joked. "Didn't he bring anyone with him today?"

"Didn't see any talented people today. How's Yao Yan doing?"

After all, Yao Yan was the strongest person she had ever met, and he was also blessed with good fortune. As long as she was given the opportunity to climb the ladder to success, his future achievements would be limitless.

Most importantly, Yao Feiran hopes that he can take over military power from the Lu family in the future.

Xiao Hong revealed a satisfied expression: "He has now been arranged to train in the suburbs. Whether it is martial arts or academics, he is faster than ordinary people. It is a pity that he comes from a humble background and has wasted so many years. Speaking of which, this young man has always wanted to meet you to express his gratitude for your saving his life."

Yao Feiran casually said, "Then I'll trouble you to take me to see him later, Uncle."

Xiao Hong took Yao Feiran to a secluded palace in the suburbs. Once inside, they saw a handsome young man reading a book.

"Wow, after eating well, his figure has improved, and his face has become more masculine."

A look of surprise flashed across Yao Feiran's eyes. Yao Yan also saw Yao Feiran, walked over and knelt down, saying, "This humble servant thanks Your Highness for saving my life and promoting me."

"You're welcome. Just remember that this life belongs to me, and don't let me down in the future."

Yao Yan stared blankly at Yao Feiran with his dark eyes. She looked down at him with a haughty and arrogant gaze. He said in a daze, "This humble one will never forget Your Highness's life-saving grace."

Xiao Hong: "...Is my niece really that direct?"

Yao Feiran stared at Yao Yan for a long time. This child was so young yet he didn't show his emotions. She couldn't tell if he was resistant or not. After watching for a while, Yao Yan's face suddenly turned red.

Yao Feiran: "......."

The Fate-Defying Bead: "......."

After meeting Yao Yan once, Yao Feiran left in a hurry. After returning to the palace, a palace servant rushed over to Chen Zhaoche.

"Your Highness, Miss Lu has fallen into the water, and the Third Prince has rescued her."

Yao Feiran's lips twitched, and she followed the palace servant's directions to the scene.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and Consort De all arrived at the scene. The three most powerful figures in the palace were gathered together, which shows that the Lu family's prestige was indeed deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Lu Shuyun cried in the Empress Dowager's arms, and the Empress Dowager kept comforting her.

"Shu Yun, is someone trying to harm you? I will stand up for you."

"No, I just saw a twin lotus flower and didn't notice the open ground under my feet. I accidentally fell in. I was very fortunate that His Highness the Third Prince saved me."

The emperor showed a pleased expression: "Zhaoche, you did a good job. You will be rewarded!"

Chen Zhaoche forced a smile, but didn't seem very happy. The Empress Dowager left with Lu Shuyun, and the Emperor and Consort De followed.

Yao Feiran walked up to Chen Zhaoche, and the two returned to Consort De's palace.

"What exactly happened?"

"I made plans to go out with my second brother, but she just fell into the water right in front of me. If I didn't save her, it would be bad if Father Emperor blamed me. The maidservant next to Miss Lu is slow-witted and didn't react for a long time, so I had no choice but to jump in. Now I need to change my clothes, so I can't go."

Yao Feiran thought to herself that it was fortunate that she had saved Lu Shuyun from drowning at such a young age, otherwise the two of them would definitely be bound together.

However, Yao Feiran was not entirely at ease. Four years later, Lu Shuyun and Chen Zhaoche got engaged.

Yao Feiran asked Consort De, "Mother, how come the eldest daughter of the Lu family is engaged to my third brother?"

Consort De said, "Back then, that boy had a stroke of luck in saving Miss Lu. Miss Lu developed feelings for him. Anyway, the Lu family needed to choose a prince to marry, so Miss Lu chose that boy."

She whispered, "Who knows, maybe Zhaoche will be made crown prince in the future, and then he can protect you."

Yao Feiran frowned deeply: "The Lu family is now extremely powerful, so why would Father Emperor allow their eldest daughter to marry a prince and even appoint my third brother as the crown prince?"

Consort De sighed, "The Lu family is now unstoppable; even His Majesty can only appease them."

"Wasn't that also thanks to Father's promotion? How can one family produce high-ranking officials in both civil and military fields at the same time?"

"You silly child, be careful, walls have ears." Consort De was not angry and continued, "The Lu family has been a family for centuries. Back then, the head of the Lu family was your grandfather's study companion. Your grandfather trusted him, and the Lu family was given important positions. When your father ascended the throne, the Lu family's power in the court was deeply entrenched and difficult to eradicate. Meanwhile, his son repeatedly made military achievements, and no one could replace him."

"......."

This is too hasty. However, talented generals are indeed rare. If the opponent is ordinary, they are not irreplaceable. But now the Great Qi Dynasty's opponent is the Wen Kingdom. The two countries have similar military strength and economic development, with the Wen Kingdom having a slight advantage. The two countries have been at war for many years. Without Lu Shuyun's brother, there are indeed too many variables.

Alright, it seems Chen Zhaoche can't escape being jilted after all. Anyway, he's the one who lost face, so it doesn't matter.

"But even if Third Brother takes over, if the Lu family doesn't like their daughter, Third Brother won't be able to protect her."

Consort De frowned slightly. She had also considered this possibility. If Lu Shuyun became Empress, she would be the most powerful maternal relative.

She didn't know why His Majesty had allowed the Lu family to develop to this point, but she was just a concubine and was not allowed to interfere in politics.

However, Consort De was filled with worry. What she cared about most was her daughter. She recalled how, during the reign of the late emperor, many princesses were forced to marry into the northern barbarians. In order to consolidate the rule, they met tragic ends.

She would never allow her daughter to suffer the same fate.

Chen Zhaoche was greatly shocked. Seeing his utterly dejected expression, Yao Feiran said, "What's wrong? You don't want to marry Miss Lu anymore, so you've taken a fancy to a maid?"

Over the past few years, under Yao Feiran's oppression, Chen Zhaoche's greatest fear has been his younger sister. If Yao Feiran points east, he dares not go west.

But old habits die hard. Yao Feiran discovered that Chen Zhaoche was still somewhat lecherous and had been seduced by a maid at such a young age. Yao Feiran transferred the maid away and beat him up all night, finally making him admit his mistake.

"How could that be? Do you think your brother is that kind of person?"
