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

When Xie Che was still a prince, Consort Ji Shuangying was his wife. She was an elder in the palace and had two sons. She had only bullied a lower-ranking concubine, but Xie Che dismissed her on a whim, which was far too frivolous.

Most importantly, Ji Shuangying is not such a reckless person, unless Zhao Yunshu really offends her.

"Besides, His Majesty has already confined Consort Ji to her quarters and taught her a lesson. Consort Ji must have realized her mistake. His Majesty should forgive her for this."

Xie Che coldly looked at Yao Feiran: "Empress, this kind of thing happened in the palace, which is your fault for mismanagement. Now you are pleading for that woman."

Yao Feiran: He really thinks he's his nanny, and he has to manage everything in detail.

"In that case, I will give the power to manage the six palaces to the Noble Consort. I have always believed that Consort Ji should not be deposed."

Now that she has established a foothold in the harem and the princes she has raised have mostly grown up, she might as well delegate power and get some rest.

Xie Che was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting the Empress to say such a thing. She had been in charge of the harem for so many years. Although the concubines in the harem had their share of jealousy, everyone was convinced of the Empress's authority.

Xie Che's voice was tinged with exasperation: "You—you're threatening me!"

"Your Majesty, I speak from the heart. If Your Majesty is not satisfied with me, I am willing to request to be confined to my quarters."

We've really spoiled him. He used to seem quite wise, but he's gotten more and more confused as he gets older. Could it be that we've been giving him too much medication, causing brain damage?

Yao Feiran kept her head down, her eyes darting around.

"Very well! In that case, the Empress shall be confined to her quarters, and the Imperial Concubine shall manage the six palaces."

Xie Che waved and left, and Chun Tao helped Yao Feiran up.

Yao Feiran yawned: "I'll go back to sleep first. Go and see Consort Ji, and tell her that I pleaded for her. Although it didn't have much effect, she still has to acknowledge my kindness."

Chun Tao was filled with worry. Seeing that the Empress had gone back to her room to take a nap, she could only take a few people to see Consort Ji.

Ji Shuangying was now confined to her own palace, her face filled with a dazed expression.

Upon seeing Chun Tao, she hurriedly said, "Chun Tao, His Majesty said before he left that he wanted to depose me. I beg Your Majesty the Empress to do me justice!"

Chun Tao shook her head: "Empress pleaded for Consort Ji but was reprimanded by His Majesty. Now that the power to manage the harem has fallen into the hands of the Noble Consort, she has also been confined to her quarters."

"What?"

Ji Shuangying's eyes were filled with shock. She simply couldn't believe that His Majesty was so heartless, and that the Empress, who had been so virtuous and had managed the harem for so many years, was confined and stripped of her power just because she pleaded for her.

Your Majesty was never like this before. Could it be that Consort Chun has become so important in Your Majesty's eyes?

"Her Majesty said that His Majesty is deeply in love with Consort Chun, and we should avoid her in the future to prevent her from implicating us."

Chun Tao bowed and left, while Ji Shuangying's eyes were filled with surging hatred.

Some time ago, her young daughter accidentally touched Zhao Yunshu's clothes while playing. Zhao Yunshu pushed her hard, and the daughter fell to the ground, scraping her forehead. Zhao Yunshu pretended to be panicked and apologized to the Emperor. The Emperor just helplessly said that she was naughty, and the matter was dropped.

Because Zhao Yunshu was favored, Ji Shuangying could only keep this matter to herself. Later, when she heard that Zhao Yunshu had fallen out with the Emperor and completely lost favor, she thought of avenging her daughter.

Despite all the planning, I never expected His Majesty to say he wanted to depose him because of this matter.

Although she had been out of favor for many years, she had two princes under her wing, yet His Majesty showed her no mercy.

......

Since Yao Feiran stopped interfering in affairs, she was naturally happy to have some free time. However, she hadn't enjoyed a few days of peace and quiet before Xie Che came over again.

"From now on, the management of the harem will still be your responsibility."

"Your Majesty, I am not feeling well and do not have the energy to manage the affairs of the inner palace at the moment."

"If you are short of manpower, ask the Imperial Household Department for more. This is your duty as Empress."

What's gotten into him this time?

After Xie Che left, Yao Feiran looked at the account books scattered on the floor and felt upset. She thought that she would only need to focus on getting the emperor to die in the future, but it turned out that she would have to manage these trivial matters again.

Chun Tao came over and said, "His Majesty has promoted Consort Chun to Imperial Concubine Chun, but Consort Luo objected, saying that she has no virtue or talent and has no right to be promoted to the rank of Imperial Concubine."

Yao Feiran: "..."

Luo Yuqin was originally a willful person and used to always target Yao Feiran. Later, Yao Feiran saw that she was too idle and could not have children, so she sent her a naughty princess to keep her busy and she didn't have time to be a troublemaker.

Her father is now in the cabinet and is Xie Che's confidant. He only has Luo Yuqin as his daughter. Unlike Yao Feiran, who has fallen out with the Lin family, Xie Che will not do anything to Luo Yuqin.

After Yao Feiran regained control, Zhao Yunshu was promoted to the rank of Consort, but in doing so, she offended Consort Luo and Consort Ji, and became a thorn in the side of the harem.

Xie Che's love-struck mind had probably cleared up a bit, and he didn't say anything about deposing Consort Ji.

Now Xie Che visits her palace less and less, so Yao Feiran has to increase the dosage slightly. Meanwhile, Xie Mo comes over to talk to her more and more about General Yao.

"Mother, General Luo gave me a dagger that can cut through iron like mud, and he also asked me about my birth mother."

Yao Feiran never hid the fact that her adopted sons were born from their biological mother. She would also clearly tell them the cause of their mother's death and allow them to visit the imperial mausoleum to pay their respects. Since she had not harmed anyone, she was naturally open and honest.

"After he learned the cause of his son's birth mother's death, he seemed unhappy and told me to treat my mother well."

Yao Feiran nodded in satisfaction: "Remember what Mother said, General Luo is the only person you can rely on."

"Why? What is his relationship with the son's biological mother?"

"He's your uncle, but don't tell anyone about this."

Roland didn't have much of a presence in the original story. She guessed that although Zhao Yunshu was reborn, she didn't know who she was because Roland's name was just something she randomly chose when she was a palace maid in her previous life. If it weren't for that bead, Yao Feiran wouldn't have recognized her.

Xie Mo felt a surge of excitement. General Luo only had his mother and no other relatives. Xie Mo's nephew must be very important, and this matter really couldn't be exposed, otherwise both he and General Luo would be wary.

Two years passed in the blink of an eye. With Luo Yang's help, Xie Mo gained more and more attention and was granted the title of Prince Duan after leaving the palace. He was trained in the Six Ministries. Yao Feiran had three princes under her care. Among them, the twelfth prince was dull-witted and Yao Feiran only hoped that he would not cause any major trouble. The other two were slightly less talented. The fifteenth prince was ambitious, so Yao Feiran did not interfere and watched him being suppressed by Xie Che. The sixteenth prince was not interested in the throne, so Yao Feiran arranged for him to help Xie Mo.

Zhao Yunshu was promoted to the rank of Consort Chun as quickly as a rocket. Consort Ji failed to deal with Zhao Yunshu on several occasions, but instead implicated her two sons. One was disfigured and the other injured his leg. They have been sidelined for a long time.

Now that Ji Shuangying has nowhere else to turn, she has completely sided with Yao Feiran.

"Your Majesty, I know you think highly of Prince Duan, and I am willing to do everything I can to help him."
