Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character

Xuan Chengyan had some free time today and didn't want to stay in the study. One of the Crown Princess's nephews had recently caused some trouble, and he wanted to let it sit for a few days before dealing with it. He didn't want to go to the main courtyard for the time being.

Among the concubines, some were too submissive, while others were too obsequious. After much thought, Lan Wan'er's place was the most relaxing.

Lan Wan'er was busy at work when she received the message, and His Highness the Crown Prince arrived immediately.

"My lord, shall we change your clothes?" The palace servants tensed up for a moment.

Lin hadn't left yet, and subconsciously began to tidy up her hairpins and rings.

Lan Wan'er glanced at her sleeves, which were bound with sleeve braces, and waved her hand: "It's too late, let's leave it like this."

Xuan Chengyan entered, glanced at Madam Lin who was bowing in greeting, and reached out to help Lan Wan'er up: "Why are you dressed like this? What have you become interested in this time?"

While pulling Lan Wan'er towards the table, he said, "Get up, everyone. Why is Cuiyu here?"

Lin's maiden name was Cuiyu.

"Your Highness, I came to visit Consort Lan and happened to come across an ancient prescription being prepared here, so I joined in for a while." Lin Shi, who had originally been wearing tied sleeves, had already put them down when she received the message.

Lan Wan'er: "It's almost done. Next, we'll refine it using a clay furnace. We'll heat it for a quarter of an hour. Your Highness, please stay here for a while. I need to go and take a look."

Lin couldn't hide her surprise. Why would she leave His Highness the Crown Prince hanging like this for some unknown ancient prescription?

"Refining? What kind of mysterious thing is that? I'll go with you to take a look." His Highness the Crown Prince was already used to Lan Wan'er's personality.

She doesn't cater to him excessively; she has her own rhythm. Even if he says what he likes to eat, that dish won't always be on her table.

Lin knew she should take her leave at this time, but she was really curious about how His Highness the Crown Prince got along with Consort Lan, so she shamelessly followed him to the tea room next door.

In the tea room, Lan Wan'er and her maids were busy around a small clay stove, while the Crown Prince followed behind her, watching with great interest.

Standing near the door, Madam Lin was shocked. She hadn't realized she could get along with the Crown Prince so comfortably. Should she give it a try?

No!

Lin rejected herself in her heart. She couldn't do it. As long as His Highness the Crown Prince was around, she dared not pay attention to anything that had nothing to do with him. Even so, she was afraid of not serving him well enough.

"Wan'er, you said this is for washing your face?"

"That's what the ancient prescription I read when I was young said. I've never used it before. Once it's made, I'll try it first. If it works well, I'll offer some to Your Highness."

"What book?"

"How could I possibly remember that? I only remember this recipe." What book is there? She learned it in another world.

"It's like alchemy. Once it's done, you have to let others see it and try it out. You're not allowed to apply it directly to your own face."

"I understand," Lan Wan'er replied, then added, "Your Highness also knows about alchemy?"

"I've never seen a real one. I've only read about it in books sent by Taoists. Oh, you didn't see this in a Taoist book too, did you? Elixirs are all scams; you shouldn't use too much of what's in them."

"No, the book I was reading was about women's beauty regimens," Lan Wan'er shook her head. "Besides, there's only violet here."

It also has another name, Motherwort.

"Let the imperial physician examine it, and let the servants try it before using it."

"Alright, alright." Lan Wan'er said casually. Seeing that the tea was almost ready, she instructed Qinghe to take turns watching over it before preparing to leave the cramped tea room.

"Listen to me," Xuan Chengyan added.

"I understand, I won't use it recklessly. I cherish my beautiful face very much," Lan Wan'er replied with a smile, then turned her head and saw Lin Shi standing at the door.

"Why are you standing at the door? It's so cold out there in the wind!"

Madam Lin curtsied and said, "I was curious about the next steps, so I came in to see. It's getting late, so I'll take my leave now."

"Yes, I'll come again when I have time," Lan Wan'er said politely.

Lin respectfully withdrew, and when she reached the second gate, she glanced back and saw that His Highness the Crown Prince was tugging at Lan Wan'er's sleeve, but she was talking to a palace maid on the other side.

Lin turned her head and hurriedly left through the second gate.

Nearly a year passed in leisurely days, but at the end of the year, the emperor fell ill, and the atmosphere in the court became strange.

Although His Highness the Crown Prince is a superior heir apparent in terms of status and ability, it does not mean that the other princes are without ambition. After all, they are all princes, and once they succeed, they will go from being subjects to rulers, looking down on their relatives and officials.

Xuan Chengyan is the legitimate son of the Empress, but the current Empress is the Second Empress. He is the third son, and there are two princes above him. These two are not much of a threat, as they have been dealt with. The more formidable opponents are the fifth and sixth princes below him.

When the Emperor fell ill and showed signs of incurable disease, the fifth and sixth princes, who had already been granted titles and fiefdoms, secretly became active.

Xuan Chengyan didn't want to stumble at the last hurdle, so he was on high alert inside and out, and hadn't entered the backyard for a long time.

On this day, Lan Wan'er went to pay her respects to the Crown Princess and was chatting idly with a few women.

A eunuch scrambled in, shouting, "Your Highness, it's terrible! Young Master, Young Master has been kidnapped by Prince Ke!!"

"What?" The Crown Princess was shocked.

Her eldest son is five years old and has been going to the study every day. He just left not long ago.

Lan Wan'er stood up alertly, retreated to the wall, and scanned the room with her eyes, trying to see if there was anything that could be used as a weapon.

Prince Ke, the second prince, was an unexpected opponent and used an extremely foolish tactic.

What's the point of kidnapping one of the Crown Prince's sons? Even if he's the legitimate son, so what? As long as Xuan Chengyan doesn't die, having several sons is easy enough.

Prince Ke, accompanied by several subordinates, barged in. The child was being held in the hand of one of the subordinates.

Lady Li screamed and was pulled back by a palace maid, knocking over a chair.

"Your Highness, what is the meaning of this? Lang'er is your nephew and has not offended you." The Crown Princess questioned him with a cold expression and a calm tone.

"Hahaha, the sins of the father are visited upon the son! Isn't our good crown prince very powerful? Today, I will take down his Eastern Palace and see what he can do!"

"This is an adult matter and has nothing to do with a child. How old is he? Prince Ke, jokes can go too far. Put Lang'er down, and this matter will not be known to the Crown Prince."

"Now that I've captured you, I'd like to see what Xuan Chengyan will do."

While the Crown Princess was still trying her best to calm Prince Ke down, Lan Wan'er had already gone through her memories. This scene had happened in previous lives. When the original owner of this body was alive, she was ill because of the Tian family's affairs and did not come to pay her respects.

The first strategist, seeking to protect himself, also feigned illness and did not come on this day.

The second strategist didn't live to see this point.

No wonder she didn't think of it beforehand; it turns out she hadn't experienced it firsthand. But the matter should have been resolved perfectly, since there were no casualties, only the five-year-old child was frightened and his personality changed drastically.
