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

In recent years, the Crown Princess gave birth to her eldest son and eldest daughter, and the concubine later gave birth to her second son. Mu Linzheng confirmed that the Crown Prince did not have any problems in that area, so he gradually delegated power to him, allowing the Crown Prince to preside over sacrificial ceremonies and to oversee the country when he went out to inspect.

Reversal of Fate Beads: "This emperor seems alright. Although he likes the female lead very much, he won't shake the crown prince's position."

"I thought I was about to make my move."

She'd encountered emperors before who insisted on deposing her, but in this world full of idiots, this emperor actually had a shred of common sense.

As for bringing in a fake crown prince, she wasn't humbled. This world originally belonged to the people, and whoever was emperor was fine as long as they could govern the country well.

At this moment, Mu Linzheng came over: "I am preparing to go to the mountain villa with the Imperial Concubine to escape the summer heat. The Crown Prince will oversee the country. Empress, are you going?"

Looking at his nervous expression, Yao Feiran guessed that he didn't really want her to go and was just asking out of courtesy. Although she knew he would refuse, she was still a little worried that he would agree.

"Go ahead, I'm just getting bored in the palace."

Mu Linzheng's expression changed: "What? You're going too? The harem still needs the Empress to manage things."

Yao Feiran said leisurely, "Just kidding, Your Majesty. Why are you so nervous? I won't disturb your time alone with the Consort."

Mu Linzheng's lips twitched. He always felt that he had become a bit timid in front of the Empress in recent years. Every time he tried to stand up straight, he would lose his nerve in front of the Empress.

Moreover, asking her whether she was going or not was completely unnecessary. As the emperor, couldn't he make his own decision?

Mu Linzheng stormed off again for some reason. Afu and Zhu'er were used to it. The emperor rarely came over now, and the empress would sometimes take them to play cards, eat hot pot and barbecue. They were very happy.

Song Jingning asked, "Your Majesty, is the Crown Prince overseeing the country because we've been gone for so long this time?"

"Yes, the Crown Prince is quite capable, don't worry."

Song Jingning lowered her head and remained silent, her expression gloomy.

After Mu Linzheng left, Yao Feiran went to see Mu Qingyan. Back then, she hadn't planned to kill him, nor did she know where to put him. She bought a remote island from abroad, some distance from the capital, and simply left Mu Qingyan there, having people take turns monitoring him.

The island is inhabited by indigenous people who usually live by farming. When the island was purchased, the land was also transferred to Yao Feiran. Yao Feiran reduced the rent considerably, but instructed the indigenous people to keep an eye on Mu Qingyan.

In fact, no one believed Mu Qingyan when he claimed to be the Crown Prince. He was even thinking of escaping. The local residents were worried that Yao Feiran would raise the rent and kept a close eye on Mu Qingyan.

Yao Feiran went to the isolated island.

Liu Chang walked over: "Master, what brings you here?"

Liu Chang was from another country. After Yao Feiran bought him, she had him keep an eye on Mu Qingyan. The other party didn't care about Mu Qingyan's identity, since he wasn't from the Great Zhou Dynasty anyway.

"I've come to see him. Where is he?"

"The young master is there."

Liu Chang pointed to a man who was bent over working, not more than five meters away from Yao Feiran.

"..."

Yao Feiran had just thought this person was an old man, but it turned out to be Mu Qingyan. His face was tanned dark and full of wrinkles; he had really changed a lot.

Mu Qingyan then recognized Yao Feiran and knelt down with a thud.

"Mother, I will never dare to do it again. Please let me go back."

"You can't go back now." Yao Feiran looked him up and down. "The real crown prince already belongs to someone else."

Mu Qingyan's face was filled with emotion: "Mother, you are too heartless. I am your son, and you actually let someone else take my place."

"If I were not ruthless, I would have watched you hand over your position as crown prince to someone else. Back then, your father already had the intention of deposing you, yet you still thought of giving up the throne for Song Jingning."

"Is the Crown Prince really that important?"

"Of course the Crown Prince is important! My Yao family is also a prominent family. Back then, your father and mother's families were not prominent and were not valued. It was I who accompanied him through so many years. It was because of me that you obtained the position of Crown Prince, and now you want to discard it at will."

"The new emperor will see you, the deposed crown prince, as a thorn in his side, and will not respect me, his unworthy mother. All my efforts over the years have been in vain. Tell me, is the position of crown prince important or not? You are not worthy to be my son!"

Yao Feiran's gaze pierced Mu Qingyan like a cold blade.

"I... I just didn't want to give up on Song Yuewan. I just wanted to keep her. I was wrong, Mother. I was too foolish before. Feelings are insignificant. I don't like Song Jingning anymore. Let me go back. I will be a good crown prince from now on. Farming is too hard."

Yao Feiran revealed a mocking expression. Now she knows that feelings are useless. She was just too full before, which is why she was so preoccupied with romance.

"You can't even manage your own backyard, how can you be a crown prince and govern the country? Just stay here and wait for things to settle down, maybe one day you can go back."

The current Mu Qingyan is no longer the radiant and elegant woman she once was. Even if she goes back in the future, no one will be able to recognize her.

Seeing that he was doing "not badly," Yao Feiran gave Liu Chang some instructions and then left.

After that, more than a decade passed, and Yao Feiran's fortune had surpassed that of the male lead. Most of the people in the court were her people, and Yao Xufeng was already over thirty years old.

Mu Linzheng spent most of his time with Song Jingning, while Yao Xufeng basically supervised him.

With Yao Feiran around, Mu Linzheng can no longer shake the Crown Prince's position.

The thorn in Song Jingning's heart had never been removed, and after having a child, her selfishness only intensified.

She was clearly the emperor's most favored concubine, while the empress was merely a figurehead. Why should they ultimately be above her?

Her son could also become the crown prince and the new emperor.

Meanwhile, Yao Feiran felt the time was ripe and went directly to Mu Linzheng.

"I heard that you caught a cold recently and rested for half a month without attending court. It seems you are getting old and no longer have the strength to be the emperor. From now on, the crown prince can take over your duties."

After all, he's over fifty years old, which is considered a long life in ancient times. But as expected of the male lead, he's still a handsome old man even in his old age.

Mu Linzheng remained expressionless. If Yao Feiran had dared to say such things to him when they were young, he would have been poisoned long ago.

Now, he is indeed exhausted, and no man is willing to give up his power.

Unless there is no other choice but to give up.

Perfect timing, I can spend the rest of my time with the woman I love most.

"Empress, I underestimated you. If I were to leave one day, would you harm the Imperial Concubine?"

"As long as she behaves herself."

Song Jingning was a masochist when she was young, but she eventually came to her senses. Although she never gave Yao Feiran a friendly look, she never tried to frame her, and Mu Linzheng never threatened his position for her sake.

As long as Song Jingning does not threaten her position, she will not kill indiscriminately, after all, she is relatively soft-hearted.

Mu Jinglin realized that Yao Feiran was not lying to him, and after a long silence, he said, "You may leave. I will consider it."

His mind is now entirely focused on Song Jingning, and he is indeed no longer fit to be an emperor. An emperor who possesses power but has lost his responsibility is a disaster for the world.

"Summon the Imperial Concubine."
