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

"I never expected that Zhang Chengyi would send a letter to Consort Hui overnight, trying to escape punishment. Consort Hui knows that I care about you the most, and wants to use your and the child's deaths to make me deal with the Yao family."

If Song Jingning and her child really died, Mu Linzheng would definitely take his anger out on the Yao family. The Yao family, having lost power, would not be able to keep the evidence, as it would implicate many people.

Song Jingning's expression was complicated; she hadn't expected it to be for this reason.

The Empress never intended to harm him; it was she who was being petty.

The baby's cries soothed some of her wounds, but the thought that the Empress and the Crown Prince were still alive and well, enjoying their honors, and that even if she became a favored concubine, she would ultimately have to look up to them, still made her feel depressed.

Meanwhile, Yao Feiran also learned the reason why Consort Hui wanted to harm her. It turned out that her father had committed a crime. Yao's father was too soft-hearted and wanted to give Consort Hui's father a chance to admit his mistake, which almost delayed the matter.

Because he failed to report the matter in time, Yao's father was fined three months' salary by the emperor and sent home to reflect on his actions.

This is considered the lightest punishment.

Afu walked over: "Your Majesty, Consort Hui wishes to see you."

Yao Feiran waved her hand: "I won't see you."

What's there to see? It's nothing more than admitting that he felt sorry for the original owner, that he also had his own difficulties, and then recalling the deep sisterly bond they've shared over the years. Ultimately, he hopes that she will take good care of the Third Prince.

The other party wanted to kill her, and no reason mattered.

Finally, the emperor sent Consort Hui to her death with a cup of poisoned wine. It is said that before she died, Consort Hui wanted to see the empress.

Yao Feiran has no past. If Consort Hui wants the Yao family's blood to give her father a chance to live, then she shouldn't blame her for severing ties with her.

Yao Xufeng learned of this matter. Some time ago, he went south to Liaocheng with his father and accidentally found out about Consort Hui's father. Consort Hui was so audacious that she dared to use someone else to do her dirty work.

"Mother, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. You should be careful around your third brother in the future, since his mother's death is somewhat related to us."

Yao Xufeng's expression was cold: "They deserved to die. But Father Emperor really dotes on Consort Ning. He actually poisoned Consort Hui and didn't care about Third Brother's feelings at all."

"Yes, you must be careful and not have any connection with Consort Ning. Your father's bottom line is Consort Ning. In a few days, the Crown Princess will enter the residence. Be prepared, treat the Crown Princess well, and do not repeat what happened back then."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand."

This time, the third daughter of the Pei family entered the Eastern Palace as the Crown Princess, a position that Mu Linzheng was satisfied with. He gave her plenty of face, and it was quite a lively occasion. The entire palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

The next day, Yao Xufeng and Pei Xuyuan paid their respects to Yao Feiran.

Pei Xuyuan blushed, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she respectfully bowed, saying, "Greetings, Empress Dowager."

No need for formalities.

Yao Feiran was all smiles and kind, and finally gave them a bracelet to send them away.

As she was leaving, Pei Xuyuan almost got her face hurt by a branch of a flower. Yao Xufeng pushed the branch away for her and gently touched the red mark on her face.

Consort Yun said happily, "The Crown Prince and Crown Princess are truly in love."

Pei Xuyuan lowered her head somewhat embarrassed, and Yao Xufeng suddenly saw Consort Ning standing next to Consort Yun.

By the way, Song Jingning is now a Noble Consort.

Pei Xuyuan gave a slight curtsy: "Your Majesty, this concubine greets Your Highness."

Yao Xufeng: "Your subject pays respects to Your Highness, the Noble Consort."

As for Consort Yun, according to etiquette, she should have bowed to the Crown Princess first. She did not bow, and Pei Xuyuan did not make a big deal of it, treating her as if she were invisible.

A shadow crossed Yunfei's eyes.

Song Jingning returned the greeting with a slight bow: "No need for formalities."

Looking down, he saw Yao Xufeng holding Pei Xuyuan's hand tightly, and his eyes stung.

He has now become a good husband.

All the things he did back then have vanished along with his achievements.

He will become emperor and ruler of the world in the future.

That's so unfair.

The group remained silent. Yao Xufeng knew he needed to keep his distance from Song Jingning, otherwise Mu Linzheng would get jealous, so he pulled Pei Xuyuan away.

Consort Yun smiled enigmatically and said, "It seems the Crown Prince has found the right person."

Is she the right person? So she's the wrong person.

Song Jingning lowered her head, holding back her anger.

Yao Feiran also learned about today's events from the palace maids; this Consort Yun really loves to sow discord.

That day, Yao Feiran rushed up to Yun Fei and slapped her dozens of times.

"Consort Yun, if I see you gossiping again, next time it won't just be a few slaps."

Yunfei's face swelled up instantly. It was the first time she had ever been so humiliated. She rushed over to hit Yao Feiran, but Yao Feiran kicked her several meters away.

Her face flushed red. She had never felt such humiliation before. She never imagined that Yao Feiran would be so impulsive as to rush over and hit her. Wasn't she afraid that the emperor would punish her if he found out?

Yao Feiran manages the entire harem and isn't afraid of it getting out that she stepped on Consort Yun's back.

"Did you hear what I said?!"

"I heard you, I heard you, have mercy—"

Consort Yun was in so much pain she was about to faint, and could only hurriedly beg for mercy.

Yao Feiran clapped her hands and went back.

Yunfei lay in bed for a whole day before regaining her mobility. Once she recovered, she rushed over to Mu Linzheng and cried. Mu Linzheng looked at her swollen face and his expression froze slightly.

"Consort Yun, I already know about your matter and have reprimanded you, and ordered the Empress to be confined to her quarters for three days."

"Just... a house arrest?"

Consort Yun was furious: "Your Majesty, I was beaten terribly! Is the punishment merely confinement to my quarters?"

"Otherwise, how do you want me to punish you?"

Consort Yun was stumped, and the Empress beat herself up. The Emperor really couldn't do anything about it; could he only swallow his anger?

"Consort Yun, you too have been confined for three months. Your disrespectful behavior and attempts to sow discord are unacceptable. You dare interfere in the affairs of the Crown Prince and his wife!"

And it also involved Consort Ning.

Seeing the cold look on Mu Linzheng's face, Yunfei realized that Yao Feiran had told Mu Linzheng everything.

How dare she? Isn't she afraid the emperor will think too much?

She was filled with fear and anxiety.

"Yes, I was wrong."

Consort Yun left feeling humiliated, leaving Mu Linzheng speechless. "How old are you? Still fighting. The Empress is really letting herself go these days."

However, she was a good manager, and she reduced many unnecessary expenses in the harem. There were very few troubles in the palace, and if someone beat someone up in private, he could only reprimand them.

After all, the Empress did not send anyone to beat Consort Yun in public. Her personal action was just considered a fight between them, not corporal punishment of a concubine. Although it was not a glorious thing, no one spread the word.

After that, Consort Yun became much more well-behaved, mainly because she couldn't beat Yao Feiran in a fight, and she rarely said anything offensive at banquets.

Everyone secretly wondered what methods the Empress had used to actually subdue Consort Yun; the Empress was truly remarkable.

Several years have passed, and Yao Xufeng no longer needs to disguise himself. Yao Feiran thought she should go see her brain-dead son and see if he has reflected on his stupidity on the deserted island.
