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

The Imperial Household Department sent a batch of eunuchs, and Mu Qingyan gained a little eunuch by his side. Unbeknownst to Mu Qingyan, the other party learned his notes and every word and action. Yao Feiran filled in the gaps for Yao Xufeng and taught him how to speak more like Mu Qingyan.

Yao's mother cooperated with Yao Feiran to complete these tasks, and only informed Yao's father after everything was arranged.

Mr. Yao was both shocked and furious: "Your Majesty, you are too audacious! This is disregarding the Yao family. If discovered, it could mean the extermination of your entire clan. Moreover, the Crown Prince is your son. Are you just going to abandon him like this?"

"Then Father should try to persuade him. If he can see the error of his ways, that would be the best outcome."

Yao's father went to the Crown Prince's residence to persuade Mu Qingyan.

After visiting a few times, I fell silent.

Yao Feiran said, "Father, the Crown Prince is in such a state now that he will be deposed sooner or later. His Majesty has fallen in love with Song Jingning and will not touch any other women. We only have two choices: either wait for the Crown Prince to be deposed and Song Jingning to become the Empress Dowager, or let this country change hands and become the Yao family's world."

Yao's father said, "Even if Xu Feng impersonates the crown prince, how can you be sure he can secure the position? If Song Jingning gives birth to a prince, the emperor will definitely remove any obstacles for the sake of his beloved."

"Don't worry, once Xu Feng adapts to this identity, as long as his reputation recovers and he doesn't make any major mistakes, His Majesty won't arbitrarily depose the Crown Prince. We'll consider dealing with the Emperor's affairs once the Crown Prince has gained some influence."

Upon hearing this, Yao's father collapsed to the ground, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

Yao Feiran didn't expect her father to react so strongly. She said, "Father, please think it over. There's not much time left. Mu Qingyan has become obsessed with that woman."

Mu Qingyan's reputation is getting worse and worse. He was originally a concubine who neglected his wife, and now he is coveting his father's concubine and neglecting state affairs. Mu Linzheng has long disliked Mu Qingyan.

After thinking about it for several days, Yao's father even had a few more gray hairs.

Not long after, Mu Qingyan fell seriously ill and wrote a letter to Mu Linzheng. The letter contained several pages of touching words that finally awakened Mu Linzheng's remaining fatherly affection for the Crown Prince.

Mu Linzheng specially summoned Mu Qingyan to the banquet.

Mu Qingyan had lost a lot of weight, and her voice was a little hoarse.

"Father, I was stubborn and ignorant before, causing you to worry about me. I deserve to die."

What's wrong with your throat?

"The imperial physician said that I was severely deficient in qi and blood, which caused my throat injury, but I am now fine."

Mu Linzheng re-examined him.

Mu Qingyan knelt down, her face pale, but her eyes held no resentment.

Mu Linzheng touched the ring on his finger, turned it a few times, and after a long silence in the hall, he slowly spoke.

"Take good care of yourself. Remember to attend court tomorrow. You've rested for so long, it's time to get back to work."

"Thank you, Father Emperor."

With excitement in his eyes, Mu Qingyan kowtowed several times.

"You may leave."

"Yes."

Seeing that the emperor was in a daze, Su Quan reminded him, "Your Majesty, you promised Consort Ning that you would dine with her today."

"Oh, I almost forgot, Su Quan, don't you think the Crown Prince has changed a lot?"

"This servant heard that His Highness the Crown Prince was seriously ill some time ago. It is not uncommon for people to have profound insights when they are on the verge of death. Perhaps His Highness the Crown Prince has already understood His Majesty's good intentions."

"Too."

Mu Linzheng didn't suspect much.

.....

After Mu Qingyan left the study, his expression returned to its previous indifference.

He is Yao Xufeng in disguise.

When Yao Feiran asked him if he was willing, he immediately agreed.

He was an orphan, and his fiancée broke off the engagement because of it. He suffered a lot of coldness during that time until he was adopted by his aunt and felt some warmth.

Now, the Crown Prince is making a series of blunders and is on the verge of being deposed. Yao Feiran needs him to impersonate the Crown Prince.

He was naturally willing, not only to thank his uncle's family, but also because he felt that his talent was no less than that of these nobles; the only difference was his status.

Her cousin gave her this opportunity.

Yao Xufeng touched his face and couldn't feel that it was a fake human skin mask at all. It was as thin as a silkworm's wing and didn't cause any discomfort. He wondered how his cousin had such skill.

He walked towards Kunning Palace, and coincidentally, Song Jingning was also feeding fish by the pond.

Yao Xufeng's personal eunuch, Shouyi, panicked. How did he run into Consort Ning? His Crown Prince seemed to have lost his mind when he saw Consort Ning.

"This servant greets Consort Ning."

Yao Xufeng also noticed Song Jingning. His expression was indifferent, and he gave a simple bow: "Greetings, Consort Ning."

When Song Jingning saw the Crown Prince approaching, she originally intended to keep her distance to avoid making Mu Linzheng jealous. However, she found that he kept a considerable distance and did not approach, and even bowed according to etiquette.

After Yao Xufeng finished speaking, he left. He was originally the Crown Prince, and his status was higher than Song Jingning's. He only bowed out of courtesy, and there was no need for further pleasantries.

Seeing the Crown Prince's completely different attitude, Song Jingning's eyes suddenly filled with hatred.

Mu Qingyan, my child was killed by Song Yuewan, and you are also responsible. How dare you act so high and mighty? I will never let you go! I will drag you down and avenge my dead child.

.....

Yao Xufeng arrived at Kunning Palace: "Greetings, Empress Dowager."

Yao Feiran dismissed everyone.

"No need for formalities, are you settling in alright?"

"It's a habit, but I'm not sure if His Majesty has any suspicions."

"Don't mention His Majesty again, lest someone find fault with you. You should talk about Father Emperor." Yao Feiran reassured him, "His Majesty won't suspect anything. He doesn't spend much time with the Crown Prince, otherwise he wouldn't have done such a thing."

As the male lead, Mu Linzheng had to be relatively clean, so he didn't have many concubines in his harem. Moreover, he didn't like the original owner of the body. However, the original owner was the empress and gave birth to the eldest son. According to the principle of establishing the eldest son as the legitimate heir, Mu Qingyan naturally became the crown prince.

From a young age, Mu Linzheng spent very little time with the Crown Prince, and the two did not have much of a father-son relationship. In fact, the Crown Prince was not as close to Mu Linzheng as his confidant.

If Mu Linzheng truly cared about this son, he would never have married Song Jingning. He could have repaid her life-saving grace in other ways; it was basically lust at first sight.

"I encountered Consort Ning today."

"Ignore it."

"Your subject thinks that Consort Ning has spent several years with the Crown Prince, and my personality has changed somewhat. It's inevitable that she might notice some flaws and see through something."

"Don't worry, compared to her, your changes are nothing."

Song Jingning's transformation from a masochistic simp to a cold and alluring beauty is truly remarkable. Yao Xufeng, on the other hand, is Mu Qingyan without her brainless, love-struck tendencies, so there's nothing wrong with him. Moreover, the two need to avoid suspicion and don't have many opportunities to spend time together.

Every time Yao Feiran thinks about that 99 instances of hurt, she feels it's outrageous.

Does she think this is a sign of deep affection?

They had a chance to leave, but they insisted on being tortured 99 times.

So fond of degrading oneself.

Actually, it's not much different from Mu Qingyan.

"Your subject understands."

"Remember this: only three people know your identity: me, my parents, and you. We share the same fate. Don't trust anyone. Just act as if you are the real Crown Prince. You must take the official duties His Majesty has given you seriously and restore your previous reputation."

"Also, you must come to pay your respects every day."

"Yes."
