Quick Transmigration: The main focus is on speed.

In his previous life, his legal wife faked her death and secretly entered the palace, where she fell deeply in love with the current emperor.

They are an emperor and a concubine who faked their deaths to escape for love. They use the original owner of the body to show how sincere and passionate their love is, while the original owner becomes the subject of their quarrels and arguments, and is subjected to all kinds of targeting and belittling for no reason.

Liu Ruyan came from a prestigious family. In order to win over the families, the old emperor arranged a marriage between the original owner's second son and the Liu family.

The old emperor was shrewd and calculating, and he would never allow a noblewoman to enter the future emperor's harem. He feared that after his death, when the crown prince ascended the throne, if there was a noblewoman in the harem, the imperial power would fall into the hands of the noble families.

The old emperor had good plans for his two legitimate sons, but unfortunately, Liu Ruyan fell in love with Crown Prince Qitian at first sight during the flower viewing party, though it wasn't quite love at first sight.

In terms of appearance, the original owner of this body, the Prince of Qi, was much more handsome and dashing than the Crown Prince Qi Tian. Whether it was his physique or his temperament, an uninformed person would think that the original owner was the Crown Prince of Qi.

So all the talk about love at first sight is a lie. To put it bluntly, Liu Ruyan was dissatisfied with being the Princess Consort of Qi in the future; she wanted to ascend to the position of being second only to the emperor and above all others.

Under Liu Ruyan's deliberate seduction, she successfully caught the eye of Crown Prince Qitian and gradually won his heart as well.

The old emperor of Qi Kingdom had six sons in his lifetime. Two of them were legitimate sons. One was named crown prince, namely Qi Tian, ​​and the other was given the imperial surname and made a king, namely King Qi Yuan. The other four sons are not worth mentioning.

The original owner's mother died young, not because of any palace intrigue, but because she was usually scheming and calculating, which exhausted her mind. In addition, after giving birth to two sons, she devoted herself to their future. With so much mental effort, her health deteriorated. When the original owner was five years old, she was bedridden and passed away not long after.

Before her death, the empress schemed against the emperor and the concubines in the harem, which led to Qitian's appointment as crown prince.

As for why the original owner was given the title of Prince Qi, it was because the original owner showed his intelligence and wit at a young age. The emperor missed the deceased empress, and since the original owner was young and his mother had passed away, the emperor was unwilling to depose the crown prince and reinstate him. Thus, the title of Prince Qi came about.

The original owner grew up in the harem as a beloved member of the family. Because he was not the crown prince, he had a very harmonious relationship with his brothers. Moreover, the empress had helped many concubines in the harem when she was alive. In addition, the original owner was sweet-talking and knew how to get things done, so he got along very well in the harem.

Compared to the original owner, the crown prince was much more aloof. Apart from being slightly kinder to his own brother, the original owner, he was unsmiling and always had a superior attitude towards his other brothers.

No matter what, they were all princes, and how could they stand the Crown Prince's cold attitude? So, the princes, who had originally listened to their mothers and wanted to get closer to the Crown Prince, avoided him whenever possible.

The crown prince didn't take it to heart, feeling that as the crown prince, he couldn't lower himself like the original owner of the body, and never thought of changing it.

The emperor was also troubled by this issue when he was alive, and repeatedly tried to persuade the crown prince in secret, but the crown prince insisted on his own way. No matter what, those princes were still the emperor's own sons. Although they were not as favored as the original owner of the body, nor as favored as the crown prince, they were all of royal blood.

The emperor feared that after his death, his sons would be imprisoned for life. Therefore, seeing the original owner mingling with his brothers finally put his mind at ease. He figured that with the original owner around, at least his sons, though not serving the country, could live out their remaining years in peace.

Unfortunately, while the emperor's intentions were good, he didn't realize that the unexpected turn of events involving Liu Ruyan couldn't be entirely blamed on her. Perhaps the Crown Prince himself was also jealous of the original owner of this body. Otherwise, he wouldn't have knowingly consummated his relationship with Liu Ruyan, knowing she was the future Princess Consort of Qi.

Even before entering the Prince Qi's mansion, Liu Ruyan began to scheme relentlessly, even losing her virginity to the Crown Prince before marriage and seducing him into bed. Furthermore, to avoid sharing a room with the original owner of the body, she would always use aphrodisiac incense whenever the original owner visited Liu Ruyan's room. Even the son the original owner had always hoped for was actually born to Liu Ruyan and the Crown Prince.

After the crown prince ascended the throne, he eliminated dissidents and suppressed his brothers. It could be said that before the external troubles were eliminated, internal strife broke out.

The other four princes were not ambitious by nature. The second prince liked to practice martial arts and his lifelong wish was to become a great general who would protect the country. However, because the crown prince was wary of him, he was confined to the capital and was not even allowed to go to his fiefdom.

The Third Prince was captivated by nature and sought neither fame nor fortune. He only wished to travel to every corner of the Qi Kingdom and paint a magnificent landscape painting that belonged to the Qi Kingdom. Even so, he was still confined to the capital by the Crown Prince and not allowed to leave.

The Fifth Prince had no great ambitions; from a young age, he enjoyed eating, drinking, and listening to operas and songs. However, after seeing Liu Ruyan's true colors, he was murdered by two conspirators. He had just come of age when he died. His childhood sweetheart and fiancée remained unmarried for the rest of her life, living with the Fifth Prince's memorial tablet. The Fifth Prince's mother, having lost her only son at a young age, also died of depression less than a year later.

The sixth prince, being the youngest, was unaware of the intricacies of royal life and the Crown Prince's fear of his younger brothers. Moreover, the sixth prince was born with wisdom, and the late emperor had promised that he could become a monk at the age of sixteen. However, in the end, the sixth prince failed to become the Buddhist disciple he had dreamed of, and instead became a disloyal and unfilial person hated by everyone in the Qi Kingdom.

The original owner was the fourth child. He was given a sterilization drug by Liu Ruyan at an early age. After Liu Ruyan's death, he lived as the 'legitimate son'. He watched as his brothers became frustrated and tried to rebel, but they were constantly suppressed and schemed against by Qi Tian, ​​who even framed them with one crime after another.

He was eventually imprisoned in a dark chamber within the palace, forced to witness Qi Tian and Liu Ruyan's passionate lovemaking right before his eyes. By the time he died, his body was mangled beyond recognition, his bones broken and shattered, a fate worse than death.

The sixth prince met such an end simply because he sensed something was wrong with his elder brother, the emperor. After following him for a long time, he finally saw his once-glorious and upright fourth brother. At this moment, the original owner's hands and feet were at unbelievable angles, his tongue had been cut off, and only a pair of numb eyes remained.

Upon hearing the sound, those once clear eyes opened, only to be filled with numbness and a death wish.

The sixth prince, unable to bear seeing his former fourth brother suffer such a fate worse than death, granted him a release.

In order to avenge his fourth brother, the sixth prince plotted for a long time, but in the end he died tragically in the palace and became a traitor hated by everyone.

The original owner was unaware of what happened after that, and the person making the wish this time was not the original owner, but the original owner's deceased father.

"May my son have a peaceful and prosperous life, I beg you." The emperor before him, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, was now hunched over and humble. Gone was the spirited emperor he once was; now he looked exactly like an elderly father, pleading for his children.

"Are you sure Qitian is your biological son? Could he have been switched with someone else?" Based on the person's description, Qiyuan felt that there was something strange about Qitian. Moreover, the old emperor had six sons in his life, and five of them were normal. How could a scourge like Qitian suddenly appear? This is a bit unreasonable. It is said that bad bamboo produces good shoots. I have never heard of good bamboo producing bad shoots.

Upon hearing this, the old emperor was momentarily stunned, as memories flooded his mind. Yes, the former crown prince had also grown from a tiny baby into a handsome and refined young man. Therefore, every time the old emperor saw his fourth son, he felt that the two brothers were indeed born of the same mother, and were exactly the same in both character and temperament.

When did things change? Probably after the Empress passed away?

After the Empress's passing, the Crown Prince was overcome with grief and fainted several times. The last time, he remained unconscious for three days before finally regaining consciousness. Upon waking, he seemed shrouded in ice and became much quieter.

The old emperor thought it was due to the pain of losing his mother and didn't take it to heart.

But ever since that day, the Crown Prince has changed in both temperament and appearance. Not only has he stopped being affectionate towards his younger brother, but he also frequently says things like, "I am the Crown Prince, how dare you be so presumptuous."

The old emperor had his doubts, but no matter how he tested him or examined his birthmark, he could prove that the prince in front of him was the prince and there was absolutely no possibility that he had been switched.

“Absolutely impossible. I have examined the birthmark on Tian’er’s shoulder, and it was not copied by someone else…” At this point, the old emperor began to hesitate again. Qi Yuan understood that the old emperor was also starting to have doubts, so he simply decided not to listen to what the old emperor had to say and that it was better to see for himself.

Just as I was about to go check out the small world, another figure appeared in the space.

As soon as the old emperor saw this person, he staggered over, embraced the man tightly, and wept uncontrollably.

"My son, my son, I have failed you..."

"Father, I'm finally dead, right? That's great, I'm finally dead..." The person who came was the original owner of the body. His pupils, which had been numb and expressionless just now, burst into light the moment he saw the old emperor.

Upon hearing the original owner's words, the old emperor wept even more uncontrollably. He carefully examined the original owner's wounds, and with each wound he looked at, his sobs grew louder until his throat became hoarse.

"It's all my fault for not teaching your elder brother well..."

"Father, don't blame my brother. He was possessed by a demon. There was nothing he could do. It was all the fault of the Liu family and those other powerful families..." The original owner had been imprisoned for many years and had long seen that something was wrong with Qi Tian. Fearing that her father would resent her poor brother, she explained the whole story.

It turns out that it was all the work of the powerful families. They wanted the imperial power, but their claim was illegitimate. They somehow acquired witchcraft and sorcery, which allowed Qin Shou, Liu Ruyan's childhood sweetheart, to possess Qi Tian's body. Qi Tian was unable to resist and could only occasionally regain control of his body.

It was thanks to Qitian's efforts that not all the princes died tragically, thus preserving the royal bloodline.

"The Liu family deserves to die! The Qin family deserves to die! All the noble families deserve to die! My son!" The old emperor gritted his teeth in hatred upon hearing what the original owner said, wishing he could immediately transform into a demon and devour those wicked noble families.

"My lord, please save my son."

"My lord, please save my brother."

"Fourth brother, slow down." Qi Tian's voice came from behind. Qi Yuan was running forward with her short legs, and would occasionally look back at her Crown Prince brother.

Qi Tian didn't run; he simply followed behind Qi Yuan with his long legs, neither too close nor too far, neither too fast nor too slow, just three steps away.

"Brother Crown Prince, come and chase me!" Qi Yuan waved her little hand, and seeing that Qi Tian was about to catch her, she ran forward again, but bumped straight into someone's arms.

"Yuan'er, you're up to your old tricks again!" It was the Emperor.

"My son, I would like to send my regards to my father."

"My son, I would like to send my regards to my father."

Two voices rang out at the same time, but the one with the childish voice sounded a little guilty.

"Are the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince on their way to the Empress's palace?" The Emperor picked up Qiyuan and stood in front of the Crown Prince. Instead of looking down on him, he bowed slightly, as if he were looking at the Crown Prince at eye level.

"Father, Father, your son and Crown Prince are going to find Second Brother and Third Brother." Qi Yuan answered first. The Crown Prince was not annoyed and nodded slightly, but his eyes were full of doting when he looked at Qi Yuan.

"Oh, Yuan'er has grown up and doesn't like playing with this old man, the Emperor, anymore." The Emperor feigned sadness, while Yuan rolled her eyes inwardly. What's with the act? Does he have to put on such a show?

The emperor winked at Qi Yuan from where the crown prince couldn't see, implying: "You've finally been reborn, what's wrong with letting me put on an act?"

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince, fearing that his father would be saddened, quickly comforted him, saying, "Father, you are not old, you are in your prime..." Pleasant words flowed from the Crown Prince's mouth.

As Qi Yuan had hoped, he saw the emperor's wagging tail. He couldn't bear to look, he couldn't bear to look. Where had that respectful person from the space gone?

"My lord, please don't take it to heart by arguing with Father. He's being so irresponsible," the original owner of the body suddenly said.

While in the spatial realm, the father and son were extremely worried about Qi Tian and insisted on coming to watch over him. They even said that after reincarnation, they would no longer be themselves, so they should cherish this life instead. They believed that they had exchanged their souls for the opportunity to be reborn, just so they could spend more time with Qi Tian in this lifetime.

"My Crown Prince is the best. He cares about me, unlike that heartless little Yuan'er."

“Father, Fourth Brother is still young, you…” The Crown Prince couldn’t stand anyone saying anything bad about his younger brother, not even his own father. So he immediately stood up to defend Qi Yuan.

"Alright, alright, you brothers are so loving and respectful, but this old man of mine is in your way. I'll leave, I'll go far away, okay?" The emperor pretended to put Qiyuan into the crown prince's arms.

Suddenly, the Crown Prince found himself holding the little one, Qi Yuan, in his arms. He almost dropped her. He held Qi Yuan with all his might while also trying to comfort his heartbroken father, and he was sweating profusely from the effort.

"Tell me, what storybook is your father reading this time?" Qi Yuan rolled her eyes at the Emperor from in the Crown Prince's arms and asked the original owner of this body.

"That's a storybook that's sitting under the orange cat servant of yours, sir."

Upon hearing the original owner's words, Qi Yuan knew without a doubt that the lousy cat had been reading some green tea novel again. Just look at what the emperor was saying; he was practically steeped in scheming.
