Quick Transmigration: The Villain Always Ends Up with the Male Lead

Seeing that Fu Yunwan's expression didn't seem to be lying, it meant that Shi Qi was indeed a praiseworthy person in his heart.

From as far back as he could remember, Shi Qi had basically always lived with his family. His impression of Shi Qi had always been that he was "cold" and "difficult to get along with".

When he was a child, Shiqi would sometimes pat his head. But whenever the late emperor saw it, he would scold him in front of Shiqi, saying that he didn't know manners or anything like that.

Although Shi Qi would always try to stop him, she still grew to dislike him, thinking he was a scoundrel who only pretended to be a gentleman in front of the late emperor.

Later, when he was seven years old, Shi Qi, who was only fifteen, volunteered to go to the frontier. He had previously thought that Shi Qi was going to take over his deceased father's mantle.

But thinking deeper, did Shi Qi already know the late emperor's feelings for him at that time, and went to the front line only to avoid the then crown prince?

"Yi Xuan's favorability +5, Destiny Value -2"

While practicing with the spear, his movements slowed down slightly, but he quickly regained his previous smooth and flowing form.

007: "What does this sudden surge of affection mean?"

"There are two possibilities. First, he imagined something; second, he went to Fu Yunwan to inquire about me."

007 looked completely innocent: "Why can't there be other possibilities? Like he and Zheng Yuhe had a fight."

Shi Qi didn't speak again, but only glanced at him with a hint of pity.

Zheng Yuhe paced back and forth in the hall, puzzled as to why Yi Xuan had suddenly gone to Fu Yunwan's place. Even if Fu Yunwan was the original female lead, he shouldn't have gone to see her after she had interfered in their relationship.

Did something happen during the day? Did Shi Qi force him to go find Fu Yunwan?

That's right, that must be it, otherwise Yi Xuan wouldn't have abandoned her, who was helpful to him, and instead went to find Fu Yunwan.

The next day, Zheng Yuhe specifically chose a time when Fu Yunwan usually took a walk to go to the Imperial Garden.

Before long, he saw Fu Yunwan strolling leisurely with her cat in her arms. He stepped forward and bowed, saying, "This concubine greets Your Majesty the Empress."

"No need for formalities. Is Consort Zheng also here to admire the flowers?"

"Yes, I heard that Her Majesty the Empress was unwell yesterday. When His Majesty learned of this, he disregarded his own health and went to Fengqi Palace to visit Her Majesty."

Fu Yunwan frowned upon hearing this: "Consort Zheng, please be careful with your words. His Majesty is the ruler of the entire Dayan Kingdom. Where he goes is his own business, and it is not something for you and me to discuss."

Zheng Yunhe chuckled slightly and said, "Most women in this world yearn for a lifelong, monogamous relationship. Isn't Your Majesty the Empress the same?"

Fu Yunwan's face darkened, but Zheng Yuhe interrupted her before she could get angry: "This concubine will not disturb Your Highness's flower viewing any longer, I will take my leave now." She left with a light laugh.

Seeing the anger on Fu Yunwan's face, Green Luo asked in confusion, "What does Consort Zheng mean by this?"

"He's telling me that His Majesty will be his alone sooner or later... He's showing off to me." Fu Yunwan rarely referred to herself as "this palace" in front of Green Luo.

"Green Ivy, convey my decree: Consort Zheng has committed insubordination and is hereby confined to her quarters for one month, effective immediately."

----

Fu'an: "Your Majesty, Consort Zheng requests an audience outside the palace."

Yi Xuan frowned. What could she possibly want at this time? But he still said, "Let her in."

Zheng Yuhe was dressed brightly today, but Yi Xuan didn't even look up: "What is it?"

Seeing his somewhat impatient attitude, Zheng Yuhe was not annoyed: "Your Majesty went to the Empress's place last night. Was he coerced by Shi Qi?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Xuan looked up and said, "This is not something you should be concerned about. Where I go is my own business, and he cannot control it."

Upon hearing this, Yi Xuan realized that Shi Qi had indeed never inquired about his bedroom affairs. Even though he knew Shi Qi had never been to Fu Yunwan's place, Shi Qi had never mentioned it…

Is it really not Shi Qi? Or is it just Yi Xuan who wants to see Fu Yunwan? But... why is that? Doesn't he know that Fu Yunwan is on Shi Qi's side?

"So... Your Majesty, how is our plan progressing?"

Yixuan lowered his head again to review the memorials: "No need to inquire further, I have my own arrangements. If there is nothing else, you may leave now."

Having been rebuffed by Yi Xuan, Zheng Yuhe felt somewhat frustrated. Where exactly did she go wrong?

As soon as he returned to his Taoran Residence, he learned that he had been punished with a month-long house ban.

Zheng Yuhe protested to the eunuch in charge: "I have done nothing wrong! Why did the Empress order my feet to be confined?"

The eunuch had a smiling face, and after being confined for a month, the emperor would probably forget about him soon. People in this palace were always adept at flattering the powerful and belittling the weak, and he was no exception.

"As the Empress, the head of the harem, if she believes you are guilty, then you are guilty."

Zheng Yuhe: "Have her come to see me."

The eunuch had already ignored her, and without replying, he ordered his men to close the palace gates.

Zheng Yuhe kicked the door viciously: "Damn it! You're just trying to curry favor with the powerful and bully the weak, aren't you? Just you wait!"

She forgot that she was wearing cloth shoes, which offered no protection whatsoever, and that step seriously injured her. Zheng Yuhe kept hugging her foot and hopping around.

Seeing her mistress like this, Caibi, the personal maid beside her, was also quite frightened and quickly stepped forward to support her: "Your Highness, are you alright?"

Zheng Yuhe pointed to the house: "Help me inside quickly." Damn it, she felt like her big toe was broken.

The house arrest was something Zheng Yuhe hadn't expected. In the original novel, Fu Yunwan was gentle, so she assumed that Fu Yunwan would swallow her anger, which was why she went to provoke her.

007: "Host, shall we practice martial arts every day now?"

At this moment, Shi Qi was riding a galloping steed, his bow fully drawn, aiming at the target in the distance.

Three arrows were nocked on the bow. As the bow was released, the three arrows flew out with unstoppable force. Immediately afterwards, the sound of hitting the target was heard. Looking closely, all three arrows had struck the bullseye.

"if not?"

"Fate Value -5"

007: "?? What's going on here?"

Shi Qi remained calm: "Never mind him. The most important thing right now is to master the original owner's skills. After all, nobody wants to die on the battlefield."

That night, Yi Xuan went to Fu Yunwan's Phoenix Palace again.

"I heard you confined Consort Zheng to her quarters?"

"What? Has His Majesty come to interrogate us?"

Yi Xuan shook his head: "You are the Empress, and you are in charge of all matters in the harem. I have no need to concern myself with them. I have come here today to ask the Empress. In your opinion, can the Regent be considered loyal?" He then sat down on a stool in the hall.

Fu Yunwan picked up the oranges from the ground and sat down with him: "If I were to speak frankly about 'loyalty,' Your Majesty might not believe me. After all, the power of the emperor and the regent has always been in opposition."

“But since you asked… I have never doubted Your Highness’s loyalty. In fact, the reason I am now Empress is because of his loyalty.” As she said this, Fu Yunwan’s expression dimmed slightly.

"What do you mean?" He knew that Fu Yunwan was the empress chosen for him by Shi Qi. But now it seemed that there were reasons behind this that he did not know.

"Does Your Majesty truly not know?" Fu Yunwan asked, somewhat surprised.

Yi Xuan hesitated and shook his head. Should he know?

Fu Yunwan seemed somewhat incredulous, but then sighed softly, "At that time, His Majesty had been on the throne for a year, yet there were no concubines in the harem, causing unrest throughout the court..."
