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

"Your Majesty, Qingyan is the Crown Prince after all. If word gets out that you're doing this, it will damage his reputation."

"He's the one who went shameless first, so don't blame me—" Yao Feiran glanced at the emperor's gloomy face and changed her tone: "Your Majesty, I only have the heart of a loving mother and hope to make him realize his mistakes in this way."

Mu Linzheng choked on his words, momentarily at a loss for words. He even felt a pang of sympathy for the Crown Prince.

"In short, this must not be done again. The Crown Prince is the heir apparent; how can he be subjected to such humiliation?"

Yao Feiran replied expressionlessly, "Understood, Your Majesty."

Mu Linzheng noticed that Yao Feiran had become much colder towards him during this period. She used to care about his health and would bring him nourishing soup when he stayed up late, but now she doesn't care at all.

"Your Majesty, have you been sulking all this time?"

"Your Majesty is joking. How could I dare to be angry with you?" Yao Feiran gave a fake smile. "It is a good thing that Your Majesty has a confidante. I was ignorant before. Please don't mind."

Hearing this, Mu Linzheng was not relieved; he felt a lump of resentment stuck in his throat.

"I hope that's truly what the Empress thinks. From now on, you must not leave the palace at will."

Yao Feiran immediately gave the order to leave: "Understood, Your Majesty, I respectfully see you off."

Mu Linzheng: When did he say he was leaving?

Seeing Yao Feiran standing at the door, he stormed off.

Yao Feiran sat down and continued to look through the account books. She needed to place her own people at the main gate of the palace, as she would be frequently entering and leaving the palace in the future, and she would need to disguise herself.

Disguise is not difficult; the difficulty lies in finding suitable substitutes.

Over the course of a few days, she read through many books.

Find the relevant materials, write down their names, and send them to the Yao family for collection.

Unable to leave the manor, Mu Qingyan became despondent, spending his days drunk and then going to beat and scold Song Yuewan.

This situation is basically his own fault, and now he's taking his anger out on Song Yuewan.

However, Song Yuewan is indeed not a good person, so let them fight like dogs for now.

If this continues, Mu Linzheng will become increasingly disappointed in his son.

.......

Meanwhile, Afu waited at the door for Yao Feiran's summons. When she heard movement inside, she went in and closed the door.

Yao Feiran sat on the dressing table and turned her head. Afu almost gasped in surprise.

It turned out to be a face exactly like Pearl's.

"Afu, does it look like her?"

"It's so lifelike, Your Majesty! What are you doing?"

"It's nothing. I'll go out for a bit and call Zhu'er in."

When Pearl came in, her eyes widened.

Yao Feiran went to great lengths to transform Zhu'er into her likeness.

Afu and Zhu'er were servants of the Yao family, and their parents both worked for the Yao family. Yao Feiran calculated that they could not possibly betray them.

After that, Yao Feiran made Zhu'er imitate her appearance, tone of voice, and pronunciation frequently. Zhu'er had not studied much and had a carefree personality, which caused her a lot of trouble for a short time. She only managed to imitate half of it.

This half-image is enough to handle. These days, Mu Linzheng and Song Jingning's relationship has warmed up, so it's impossible for him to come to her place at night. Even if he does come, Zhu'er can still handle it easily.

She started leaving the palace frequently. Yao's mother knew about Yao Feiran's actions and was initially shocked by her audacity, but gradually got used to it.

Because of Mu Linzheng's warning, Yao Feiran stopped slapping Mu Qingyan.

After Mu Qingyan's face recovered, he began to attend court as usual. He was often absent-minded in court, gazing at the direction of the harem for a long time and reluctant to leave. He also completed the official duties assigned to him in a terrible manner. Mu Linzheng had already considered deposing the crown prince, but he still needed to observe his other sons.

Meanwhile, something else happened at the Crown Prince's residence: Song Yuewan became pregnant. Upon learning the news, Yao Feiran rushed to the Crown Prince's residence.

Granny Liu stood in front of the Crown Prince's residence, looking worried and distressed.

"Granny Liu, what are you trying to do, blocking the doorway?"

"Consort Song...something has happened to her."

Yao Feiran's expression changed slightly, and she rushed inside.

At this moment, Song Yuewan was already lying sickly in bed, and the imperial physician beside her had a sigh on his face.

"Imperial Physician Zhou, what's wrong with the concubine?"

Seeing Yao Feiran's serious expression, Zhou Yu quickly said, "Your Majesty, has the concubine's child already passed away?"

"What happened?"

"She must have taken some kind of abortion medication."

"What?"

Yao Feiran looked at Song Yuewan, who cried out, "Your Highness forced me to drink safflower! Your Highness, how cruel you are!"

Yao Feiran: "..."

The other servants all knelt down. Granny Liu said in a panic, "Your Highness, it's not that I didn't keep an eye on His Highness, it's just that I didn't expect the Crown Prince to come over and force-feed him the medicine."

The servants probably thought Mu Qingyan had come to check on the concubine after hearing that she was pregnant, but he made a move without warning and personally forced a bowl of abortion medicine down the throat, leaving the servants around them stunned.

Yao Feiran was speechless. Mu Qingyan had abused Song Jingning like this for Song Yuewan's sake.

Now they're treating Song Yuewan like this again.

Soon after, Song Yuewan brought the matter to light, and Song's father submitted a memorial to the Crown Prince in court.

"Your Majesty, my daughter was betrothed to the Crown Prince, but she is now in a terrible state. She has been further harmed by a bowl of medicine. I beg Your Majesty to do me justice!"

Mu Linzheng had long known about Song Yuewan's actions, but one thing at a time, the Crown Prince directly forcing abortion drugs on his concubine was too lawless. Especially when he thought of Consort Ning, who had also been tormented by the Crown Prince in the same way, he was instantly furious.

"The Crown Prince has committed moral failings and disregarded etiquette and law. He shall be punished with thirty strokes of the cane and confined to his quarters for six months."

Yao Feiran knew she couldn't delay any longer.

Mu Qingyan will ruin himself sooner or later.

She also wanted to kill the emperor directly, but Mu Linzheng had the destiny of a male protagonist. As an emperor, he was quite qualified. Apart from the absurd matter of marrying Song Jingning, he was quite diligent in governing the country.

The original owner's luck was insufficient. Yao Feiran's business had just started, she had adopted a group of orphans, and her influence in the imperial court was weak. Her luck was nowhere near that of the male and female protagonists. Forcibly poisoning Mu Linzheng would not have a high success rate and would cause unknown consequences.

Even if they manage to succeed by sheer luck and their scoundrel son ascends the throne, he might just hand it over to Song Jingning as compensation.

Since he doesn't want the position of crown prince, then the Yao family will take it.

She went directly to see Yao Xufeng.

"Do you know who I am?"

Yao Feiran now resembles Zhu'er. Yao Xufeng pondered for a moment and said, "You are a palace maid serving the Empress."

"You have a good memory."

Yao Feiran's voice was still Zhu'er's. She tore off the mask from her face and said with a smile, "Are you interested in becoming the Crown Prince?"

Yao Xufeng suddenly knelt down on the ground.
