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

Zhou Yan revealed a complicated expression. She spent most of her childhood in the palace and used to be best friends with the Crown Prince. Later, she vaguely knew that His Majesty wanted her to marry the Crown Prince to consolidate his position as heir apparent. She found that she did not resist this outcome, but for some reason, after the Crown Prince fell in love with her, he suddenly became irritable and disgusted with her, and in the end, they grew to hate each other.

"Your Highness, you shouldn't have come. His Majesty will be angry if you don't stay in your residence properly."

"I was framed by my elder brother. They couldn't wait to drag me down. Father was deceived." A look of resentment flashed in the Crown Prince's eyes. He then looked up and asked, "Can you help me? I know you've always liked me. If I regain my position as Crown Prince, I can marry you."

A feeling of nausea welled up in Zhou Yan's heart. She said sarcastically, "Your Highness, you are mistaken. I do not like you. I already have a husband. Please do not come to see me again. I am afraid my husband will misunderstand."

She had indeed mentioned it before, but the deposed crown prince grew increasingly disgusted with her, and she eventually gave up on the idea. Her father doted on her, so there was no need for her to compromise. Until the deposed crown prince insulted her again, she didn't hesitate to beat him up.

The deposed crown prince was displeased and said disdainfully, "Yan'er, I know you're just saying one thing and meaning another. You clearly expressed your feelings for me to Fourth Sister before. He's just a minor official. Your father was foolish; he just picked someone randomly to marry you off. You certainly didn't want to marry him."

"I'm pregnant," Zhou Yan said calmly. "I love my husband and I truly want to marry him."

自从她揍过太子后，的确名声不大好，在京城很少有女子敢上街打人，导致家世好的不愿意娶她，家世低的多是为了她的权势，有目的性的接近她。

She never intended to settle; she just happened to meet her husband.

The deposed crown prince stared at her in shock, even staggering a few steps, as if he had been struck by a blow and could not believe it.

"You actually let him touch you!"

Zhou Yan frowned. What kind of talk was this? Did he expect her to remain chaste for him even after she got married? Wasn't that a bit too much?

She raised her fist and said impatiently, "Do you want me to beat you up again? Guards, throw Your Highness out."

The guards around her were all given to her by her father and only obeyed her orders. They dragged the crown prince away and then closed the door.

The deposed crown prince stared in disbelief at the closed gate. He had always thought that Zhou Yan liked him and would return to his side if he just beckoned. But today, he had already humbled himself, yet she was so heartless. Moreover, Yao Shuyan was only a recent Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations) and of humble origin, yet she was still willing to marry him.

Yao Feiran had just prepared to return to her residence when she encountered this mess. However, this deposed crown prince was far too confident. No wonder he was removed by the emperor. Arrogance is not a big deal, but arrogance combined with stupidity is utterly useless.

At this moment, several guards came over and blocked the deposed crown prince's path.

"Your Highness, please come back to the residence with us. His Majesty is very displeased to learn that you have left the residence without permission."

"Get out of here."

No matter how much the deposed crown prince cried out, he was still dragged away.

Yao Feiran watched the farce unfold and returned to her residence.

After the New Year, a maid came to see Yao Feiran.

"Miss Yao, the Princess wishes to summon you."

Princess Consort Chen rarely invited her, and she wouldn't go looking for her either. She would only see her when she went to Prince Chen's residence. After all, she was pregnant now, so it was better to avoid her. Moreover, Yao Feiran was watching her luck dissipate and was powerless to do anything about it, so she simply chose to stay out of sight of her.

Yao Feiran followed her maid into the Prince Chen's residence. Prince Chen had just returned and, seeing Yao Feiran, asked curiously, "Miss Yao, what brings you here?"

That look in her eyes was rather disdainful.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to see the prince. The princess summoned me."

"..."

When Prince Chen heard the princess's name, he sighed. Yao Feiran told Prince Chen about the princess's situation. Prince Chen had tried to persuade her several times, but it was impossible for him to actively harm his own child. Moreover, the princess was meticulous in everything she did and would not let anyone interfere. The female physician by her side was also brought by her family.

Yao Feiran walked over and saw that the princess seemed even more haggard.

"Feiran, I've come to see you today to ask you for a favor."

"What is it?"

Reversal of Fate Pearl: "Here it comes, here it comes. It's not that I'm going to send you into the manor to be a prince's concubine and take care of his children, is it?"

"I feel I don't have much time left. I have a favor to ask. After I leave, I will entrust my child to Granny Xie's care. I hope that if my child makes a mistake or is in danger, you can help me. This is what I'm giving you."

Princess Consort Chen took out a large jewelry box, which should contain valuable jewelry. Yao Feiran did not take it, but asked, "Are you handing the child over to the nanny? Isn't that a bit inappropriate? Will the Prince agree?"

"My half-sister will be coming to the manor, but I don't trust her, and the prince has agreed to it."

The princess remained expressionless. Her family knew she was dying, but without even asking her, they arranged for her half-sister to enter the palace through a concubine. The half-sister seemed to know she was going to die, and her words lacked respect. Her eyes were blinded by the wealth of the palace, so she wouldn't truly care for her child. Once she had her own child, her child would become an eyesore.

"I promise you, you don't need to give me these things; keep them for your child."

"Thank you so much, Sister Feiran." The princess blinked. "Speaking of which, the prince seems to be quite afraid of you. He often gets angry with you, but he doesn't dare to say anything to you. He can only come to me to sulk. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to bring it up."

Yao Feiran: "..."

When they discussed matters, some disputes would always arise. The other strategists dared not say anything, but Yao Feiran had few scruples. He often got so angry that his face turned red, but he held back.

It was probably because Yao Feiran had trampled him underfoot and rendered him immobile that he developed a trauma.

.....

A few months later, Princess Consort Chen gave birth to a baby boy, but passed away not long after. Yao Feiran saw the baby boy and also met her half-sister, who was now Madam Ning of the Prince Chen's mansion.

Lady Ning, with a mournful face, said to the prince, "Your Highness, my sister has passed away. This child was the one she cared about most when she was alive. I am her sister, and it is my duty to take good care of the child she left behind. I beg Your Highness to entrust the heir to me."

"The princess said she would give her child to Granny Xie."

Prince Chen immediately saw through Madam Ning's thoughts and looked at her with a cold gaze.

"How could that be?"

Lady Ning was stunned for a moment. When she entered the manor, her aunt told her that after the princess passed away, the heir would definitely be registered under her name, and then she could be made a concubine for the sake of the heir.

It turns out the princess didn't mean it that way at all.

She's so cruel, still holding a grudge even after death. Does she look down on her like that?

"Alright, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

A sense of unease welled up in Prince Chen's heart. He turned and left. Yao Feiran glanced at the baby boy in Granny Xie's arms. The chubby baby boy was sleeping peacefully. Little did he know that the person who loved him most in this world had already left.

"Take good care of him. If anything happens, you can come to the Yao residence to find me."

"Yes, the princess told me that Miss Yao is a very capable person."

.......

Time flew by, and the struggle between the princes had reached a fever pitch. The emperor spent his days in the palace berating this prince and that prince.

Prince Chen did not approach the emperor, but instead sent a bag of rice from a hundred families on the emperor's birthday, wishing the emperor a long and healthy life, and received many rewards in return.

This latest surge in attention has brought him back into the spotlight.

Prince Chen was pursued and killed several more times.

Yao Feiran had never seen such a simple and brutal method before. She had thought that the other party would deal with Prince Chen by at least using witchcraft or secretly possessing the dragon robe.

It's estimated that Prince Chen often travels out of the capital on business, so this is quite convenient for him.

After Prince Chen returned, he summoned Yao Feiran again.

"I'm furious! They know I'm here to solve the flood problem, and Mr. Fang is with me, yet they still disregard the bigger picture."

Mr. Fang is an expert in water conservancy. Prince Chen specially brought him there to ask for advice on how to divert and channel water.

As a result, they killed indiscriminately, completely disregarding the civilians behind them.

"When vying for the throne, how many people consider the common people? But you have impressed me; you actually have such a kind heart."

"What do you mean by looking at someone with new eyes?" Prince Chen thought to himself, speechless.

As Yao Feiran left, she glanced at the young master, who was now over two years old. He smiled when he saw Yao Feiran and ran over to her.

"Aunt Yao, did you bring any food?"

"No, you should eat less; you're already quite fat."

"I'm not fat." His chubby face and facial features were all scrunched up.

Yao Feiran gave it a good massage and left satisfied.

At this time, Yao Feiran's marriage had become a concern for Song Yuwei, but Yao Feiran was not interested in marriage. She was currently preoccupied with many things, and was at a crucial point in the struggle for the throne.

General Zhou also learned that Yao Feiran had sided with Prince Chen. Despite Zhou Yan's persistent pleading, Yao Feiran remained unyielding and was about to give up when General Zhou finally agreed a few days ago.

She entered the general's mansion, and General Zhou looked at Yao Feiran: "Thank you for settling those people."

"They did it all for the country, so it's naturally worthwhile. General Zhou, you don't need to take it to heart."

In Yao Feiran's time, soldiers wounded on the battlefield received compensation, with monthly pensions.

However, only a small number of people in this war receive exemption from corvée labor and monetary rewards, while most ordinary soldiers have no security and often fall into poverty.

General Zhou personally compensated the soldiers who fought alongside him, but it was only a drop in the bucket. When Yao Feiran learned about what he had done over the years, she simply started paying him a regular salary. Those who could do some basic tasks were hired to work in the workshop.

"His Majesty is probably dying. The heir apparent is still undecided. Does Prince Chen have any other plans?"

"It should be around May. Right now, only the Sixth Prince still has a chance, as long as some preparations are made."

How did you know it was May?

Yao Feiran mumbled, "...I studied some medical skills before."

"I know some people who aren't a problem for me."

General Zhou's words carried a hint of domineering power. Although he had not been on the battlefield for a long time, his prestige in the army remained. These brothers who had risked their lives for him would not stop helping him just because he had lost power.

A few months later, Yao Feiran was quietly staying at the Yao residence when Yao Shuyan returned home: "It's strange, my father-in-law told me to decline my colleagues' invitations today and stay home to follow your arrangements. When did you two become so close?"

"His Majesty is dead."

Yao Shuyan almost knelt down with a thud.

"What are you saying? Be careful, the walls may be overheard."

He passed away at the beginning of the Shen hour (3-5 PM).

Even the specific time was given, which made Yao Shuyan suspicious: "His Majesty has passed away and the crown prince has not been decided. The capital will probably be in chaos, but it has nothing to do with me. I'm just a nobody. If the sky falls, there will be taller people to hold it up."

"...It's related."

"What?"

"Your father-in-law and your sister are both on the side of Prince Chen."

At this point, Yao Shuyan knelt down completely: "Father-in-law, fine, but why are you getting involved?"

"It's fun."

"..."

Yao Shuyan panicked completely. He paced back and forth, and the Yao residence was gradually surrounded by people.

Zhou Yan also came over at this moment, carrying a long spear and dressed in lighter clothes: "Husband, please take good care of the child. If anything happens, you take the child and leave first."

Yao Shuyan: "You all know, except me? ?"

Zhou Yan said calmly, "There's nothing we can do about it now that we've known. It's Father's choice."

"..."

Yao Shuyan glanced furtively outside the mansion and saw a dense crowd of people standing there. He exclaimed in surprise, "Who are these people?"

"General Zhou's men should be fine as expected. We just need to wait for news from the palace."

"What if there's an accident?"

"Then this day next year will be the anniversary of your death."

"......"

After Yao Feiran finished speaking, she left. With Zhou Yan around, there was nothing to worry about. She walked to the outskirts of the capital.

The sound of hooves approached.

The Sixth Prince Yingwang's entourage appeared before them. Yao Feiran, her face covered, joined in and shot down one of the entourage's horses.

A large area in front collapsed, and King Ying stood up in a disheveled state.

"Protect the Prince!"

The two sides started fighting. In the chaos, Yao Feiran rushed over and accurately found Prince Ying, saying, "Your Highness, I apologize."

With a thud, Prince Ying collapsed to the ground. Before his guards could react, Yao Feiran had already lifted him up, mounted his horse, and driven away, disappearing into the night.

The crowd was thrown into chaos.

"The prince has been arrested! Go after him!"

Although Prince Ying's return was hasty, he made ample preparations. Many of his escorts were seasoned veterans, and there were also people in the capital ready to meet him.

As a result, the prince was ambushed by a group of more than ten people, and even he was kidnapped.

Yao Feiran quickly shook off these people, and Prince Ying was also awakened by the strong tremor. He struggled to dismount.

"Who you are, what Prince Chen can give you, I can also give you."

"I'm not familiar with you."

He and Prince Chen had been revolutionary friends for many years and understood each other's personalities. It would be hard to adapt to suddenly having someone else.

"You are a woman."

King Ying was stunned. He thought the other person was just short, but it turned out that the person who took him away from so many people was actually a woman.

"Yes, Your Highness, please stay here and wait."

Yao Feiran saw a dilapidated temple and threw Ying Wang inside. Ying Wang felt as if his internal organs were about to shatter and was in excruciating pain all over his body.
