Quick Transmigration: The main focus is on speed.

The original owner was the crown prince of the Great Qi Kingdom. As the legitimate son of the empress, and with the emperor and empress having a deep affection for each other, the emperor extended his affection to the empress and made him the crown prince at birth. When the original owner was ten years old, the emperor arranged for him to marry the crown princess.

The Crown Princess is Liu Ruyan, the eldest granddaughter of the Duke of Fuguo. After the engagement was arranged, the Empress frequently summoned Liu Ruyan to the palace, ostensibly to teach her etiquette, but in reality to let Liu Ruyan spend more time with the original owner of the body and cultivate their relationship.

The original owner had a lot of schoolwork on weekdays, and the emperor valued her highly. In addition to her daily studies, she also had to accompany her father to review memorials. Even though she was so busy, she still took the time to visit her future crown princess every time Liu Ruyan entered the palace.

In the original owner's eyes, with the imperial decree of marriage already issued, Liu Ruyan was his future wife and the future empress of the Great Qi Kingdom. Therefore, the original owner was willing to put in effort for Liu Ruyan, hoping only for a harmonious marriage between the emperor and empress and for the prosperity of the Great Qi Kingdom.

At first, the two got along very well, like childhood sweethearts. Unfortunately, childhood sweethearts can't compete with the arrival of a new love.

There is also a third prince, Qi Zhi, in the palace. The emperor is not selfish. The second prince died at the age of two, and the third prince has no more children. The emperor only has the original owner and the third prince as his only two offspring.

The Third Prince's mother was given poisoned wine for making a mistake, so the Third Prince was raised by the Empress. The Empress's kindness turned out to be a heartless child.

Three months after marrying the original owner of the body and becoming the Crown Princess, Liu Ruyan died on a trip to visit relatives outside the palace when her carriage was startled and fell off a cliff. When she was found, the only way to identify her as the Crown Princess Liu Ruyan was through her clothing.

Later, the emperor bestowed a crown princess upon the original owner. The second crown princess did not live for more than three months. She went to the Third Prince's residence to talk to the Third Prince's wife, but accidentally saw Liu Ruyan there. She was silenced and died by drowning.

The third Crown Princess had been married into the Eastern Palace for less than three months. Because of the previous deaths of two Crown Princesses, rumors of the original owner being a jinx to his wives circulated. In order to confirm the original owner's reputation for being a jinx to his wives, the Third Prince plotted to kill the third Crown Princess.

After three crown princesses died in succession, when the emperor signaled that he wanted to find another crown princess for the original owner of the body, the court officials who truly loved their daughter all declined and arranged a marriage for their daughter overnight after returning home.

The emperor was dissatisfied with the actions of his court officials, but he could not say anything. In the end, he chose a woman from a humble background to be his concubine. However, she died suddenly at home the day before she was to enter the East Palace.

This fueled the rumors that the Crown Prince was cursed to bring misfortune to his wives, and even the Emperor had to believe them to some extent. He consulted a fortune teller to interpret the Crown Prince's fate, and the conclusion reached was completely unrelated to the idea that he was cursed to bring misfortune to his wives.

The Emperor was somewhat relieved and immediately spread the master's words far and wide. Even so, no court official was willing to send their daughter to the Eastern Palace. Even the Emperor could not force the court officials' daughters to enter the Eastern Palace. To prove that the Crown Prince was not unlucky in marriage and to ensure that the Crown Prince would have an heir as soon as possible, the Emperor sent several concubines to the Eastern Palace.

The concubines were living well in the Eastern Palace, but unfortunately none of them could bear a child. The imperial physician was summoned to examine the concubines, and they were all in good health. The cause could only be the Crown Prince. In the end, the Crown Prince was diagnosed with a drug that had long ago been given to prevent him from having children. As for when this happened, it was too long ago to be verified.

Even if the emperor favors the crown prince, he cannot entrust the country to him if the crown prince has no heir. Not to mention anything else, the court officials and the royal family would not want someone destined to have no heir to ascend the throne.

To ensure the Crown Prince's future life, and having lost all hope in this life, the Crown Prince resolutely became a monk.

After the emperor's death, the third prince ascended the throne.

The moment the original owner heard the funeral bell ring, his hand, which was striking the wooden fish, paused. He looked up at the Buddha statue above him and then continued striking the wooden fish.

She thought she would spend her life as a Buddhist monk, but unexpectedly, the Third Prince appeared before her in a dragon robe with Liu Ruyan.

"It's only because you're stupid that you don't know Ruyan has been mine for a long time... Of course, she faked her death to fool you... I also killed your other crown princesses, because they saw people they shouldn't have seen..."

"Oh, by the way, Ruyan put the sterilization drug on your wedding night. Didn't you think that cup of nuptial wine tasted delicious?"

"Why? You dare ask why? If it weren't for your damned father, how could my mother have died? Yes, it was your father, but I don't have the blood of the Qi family flowing in my veins..."

After learning the truth, the original owner coughed up a mouthful of blood. Liu Ruyan tugged at the Third Prince, then dodged away in disgust, saying, "Your Majesty, please kill him quickly."

"Is Yan'er heartbroken?"

"How could that be? I despise him too much to even think about it. He's just a useless piece of trash who can't have any children!"

The original owner felt nothing but hatred and disgust as she watched the two scumbags flirting in front of her.

"I'll take pity on you and your damned father and mother and die the same way." After the Third Prince finished speaking, he waved his hand, and two guards appeared in front of the original owner. One controlled the original owner, and the other poured medicine into the original owner's mouth.

The original owner wanted to ask what was wrong with the Empress Dowager, but the poison burned her throat, and she could no longer utter a word.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"Crown Prince, Ruyan has finally become your wife." When Qi Yuan opened his eyes, he saw a woman dressed in wedding attire sitting on the bed, looking at him with a shy expression. The red veil had been lifted just after Liu Ruyan was sent into the house, so he could now see Liu Ruyan's face.

Hmm, affected and calculating, not the type Qi Yuan likes. I wonder if the original owner was too stupid to even notice these things.

Qi Yuan stepped forward, blocking Liu Ruyan's view, and with a flick of her wrist, the positions of the two glasses of wine on the table changed.

"Crown Princess, let's drink the nuptial cup." Qi Yuan couldn't utter sweet words, just like the original owner of this body. Perhaps it was because the Third Prince had so many sweet words that he won Liu Ruyan's heart.

"Alright." Liu Ruyan lowered her head slightly to hide the triumphant look in her eyes, got up and went to the table, picked up the glass of wine on the right, glanced at Liu Ruyan, picked up the glass on the left, intertwined her two hands, and drank the wine in one gulp.

This nuptial wine contained not only a drug to prevent childlessness, but also an aphrodisiac. No one knows where Liu Ruyan and the Third Prince got it.

“Crown Prince, we…” Liu Ruyan was waiting for the medicine to take effect, but what she got was dizziness and lightheadedness. The next moment, her head fell onto the table with a thud.

Qi Yuan tossed the unconscious Liu Ruyan onto the bed, sat at the table and sipped his drink. After a while, strange noises came from inside the bed curtains. Qi Yuan couldn't stand it, so he cast a silencing spell to block out the disgusting sounds.

When Liu Ruyan woke up the next day, she saw the messy bed and Qi Yuan was nowhere to be seen. She tried desperately to remember what had happened last night, but she couldn't recall what happened. Suddenly, she remembered the glass of wine. Could it be...?

Fearing she might fall victim to the disease, Liu Ruyan secretly sought out the imperial physician she had already bribed. After taking her pulse and finding her body healthy, she breathed a sigh of relief. After dismissing the physician, Liu Ruyan looked at the red marks on her body and was filled with guilt towards the Third Prince and hatred for Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan went to see her mother early in the morning. Her father was also there, and the three of them sat down together for breakfast. Although the emperor and empress were full of questions about why Qi Yuan had come alone, they patiently finished their breakfast before sending the palace servants away to inquire about her.

"But Crown Princess, are you not satisfied?" The Empress and the Emperor exchanged glances. In the end, the Emperor spoke first. He had no choice; the Empress had already glared at him. If he didn't ask, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to get into the Empress's bed tonight.

"The Crown Princess is not a virgin." Qi Yuan had no intention of hiding anything for Liu Ruyan and stated it directly. The Crown Princess was someone they had their eye on, so how could they keep it a secret if something went wrong? Besides, it was also to warn the two of them to be careful. Qi Yuan didn't want to have to worry about protecting them, even if they were the original owner's father and mother and treated her very well. That wouldn't do; Qi Yuan found it too tiring.

"what!"

"what!"

Two voices rang out simultaneously, filled with undisguised shock. After the initial shock, the Emperor and Empress were furious, wishing they could have Liu Ruyan executed by slow slicing right then and there. But seeing Qi Yuan calmly sipping tea as if nothing had happened, their anger gradually subsided.

"Yuan'er, what are your plans? Do you know who Liu Ruyan's lover is?" The Empress couldn't help but speak first, and the Emperor nodded in agreement as he looked at Qi Yuan.

"I had no plans, it was my third brother." Qi Yuan said calmly.

"How could it be him?"

"How could it be him?"

They spoke in unison again; no wonder they became a couple, they really have great chemistry.

He shrugged and offered no reply.

The Emperor and Empress remained silent. Judging from Qi Yuan's expression, it was clear that they already had evidence. Thinking of the Third Prince's mother, the Emperor was so angry that he wanted to drag her out and whip her corpse.

The Empress, however, gave the Emperor a cold snort and moved away from him.

"Empress, please let me explain. Back then..." The Emperor noticed that the person beside him was drifting away, and without caring whether Qi Yuan was there or not, he quickly grabbed the Empress's hand.

"Oh, by the way, Third Brother isn't Father's child." Qi Yuan, not wanting to watch the couple flirting, dropped another bombshell.

"What?"

"What?"

They spoke in unison, already tired of hearing the prayers, and quickly said what they knew and finished explaining their plan. Without waiting for the two to react, they strode away from Kunning Palace.

The emperor and empress, who remained behind, looked at each other in silence for a long time before finally realizing what Qi Yuan meant.

"Zitong, I told you I didn't do it that day, but you wouldn't believe me." Now the Emperor didn't even need to refer to himself as "I," and he looked triumphant.

The Empress rolled her eyes and ignored the Emperor. The two bickered for a while before finally starting to think about the plan the Emperor had mentioned.

"Don't cause trouble for my son, or else..."

"Very well, Zitong and I will just enjoy the show and absolutely will not interfere, I promise!"

The two were betrothed when they were very young and had known each other since childhood. The late empress would often summon the empress to the palace to accompany her after their marriage. As they met more and more often, they gradually developed feelings for each other.

It was also because the emperor was love-struck that he spontaneously came up with the idea of ​​one person, one thing, and one couple. Everything was going well until, during the period when the second prince died young, he drowned his sorrows in alcohol and woke up to find a palace maid lying next to him.

Upon learning this, the Empress was greatly disappointed in the Emperor. After being given the rank of a palace maid, she did not see the Emperor for a long time. Their reconciliation was also due to the original owner of this body. After the birth of the Third Prince, the Empress may have felt a sense of crisis. For the sake of the original owner of this body and her family, she endured that disgusting thing from back then.

As a result, after almost half a lifetime of this, now that we're telling them that the emperor was actually outsmarted by a mere palace maid, what are they supposed to think?

The Emperor and Empress poured out their hearts to each other in Kunning Palace, while Qi Yuan wrote furiously in the study of the East Palace. Soon, a list was freshly produced, all of which were women selected from the original owner's memories. They were either ruthless or jealous by nature, and none of them were good people.

The Third Prince is not worthy of wishing to spend time, energy, and money to cultivate people. Now that there are ready-made ones, it would be inappropriate not to use them.

"Send the list to Father Emperor and say that these are candidates for the Crown Prince's consort prepared for Third Brother." This was the first time the guard had been ordered to deliver a message. Usually, Xia Xiazi was the one who did these things. Could this list be very important?

The guard understood, tucked the list into his robes, and vanished instantly.

Liu Ruyan was still hiding in the East Palace, waiting for the marks on her body to disappear. She hadn't seen Zhilang for three days and missed him terribly. She stroked the jade pendant that the Third Prince had given her and silently shed tears. But then she heard the news that the Emperor had bestowed a marriage upon the Third Prince. Overwhelmed with emotion, she fainted.
