Quick Transmigration: The Carefree Life of a Background Character

“Therefore, the three princes have committed a grave offense of disobeying their superiors. They are hereby stripped of their princely titles and exiled to Beichuan to guard the imperial mausoleum. They are forbidden from returning to the capital without an imperial edict.”

Ignoring the Third Prince's fear, cries, and pleas for mercy, the King of Beiliang ordered his men to pull the Third Prince away, then turned and left with a flick of his sleeve. However, his back view showed a hint of staggering and sorrow.

The people in the capital were still unaware of what had happened; all they knew was that the Third Prince had made a mistake and had been demoted by His Majesty to the Imperial Mausoleum.

In fact, the King of Liang still showed some leniency towards the Third Prince, only saying that he had made a serious mistake, without directly revealing that he had secretly kept the dragon robe and intended to usurp the throne.

Officials couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Serving the emperor is indeed like serving a tiger. The third prince, who was pampered yesterday, can be suddenly deposed today."

Alas, it seems the situation in this capital is about to change.

Upon hearing the tragic news, the Imperial Concubine knelt outside the Imperial Study to plead for mercy, but she never received a shred of compassion from the King of Northern Liang. In the end, she was banished to the Cold Palace.

Since their previous reprimand, coupled with the recent misfortunes of the Imperial Concubine and the Third Prince, the Prime Minister's faction has remained eerily quiet.

Many people in the court secretly switched sides and sided with the Crown Prince.

The old emperor was heartbroken by the third prince, whom he had favored for so many years, and his energy was truly failing. Helpless, he ordered the crown prince to assist him in overseeing the country.

For a time, the Crown Prince held both authority and power, and the officials at all levels of the court were basically under the control of Bei Liang Mo Ran.

On this day, at the Fifth Prince's residence—

"Thanks to Miss Ziyue this time, I toast you with this cup to express my gratitude for your help. I will do my best to assist you in the future." The Crown Prince promised Ziyue, and Bei Liang Haitang also raised his cup to toast the two of them.

"As a friend, I'm just doing my bit," Ziyue declined.

Actually, she didn't do anything.

In the Northern Liang Kingdom, the third prince, born to the Crown Prince and the Imperial Concubine, is a rival to the Crown Prince. This third prince has always been favored and favored by the King of Northern Liang, but what if this third prince loses the Emperor's favor?

Emperors are always driven by love and desire, and their greatest hatred is for those who covet the dragon throne beneath them.

What Ziyue did was to cause the Third Prince to lose this supreme honor.

The Prime Minister's son is so arrogant, so the King of Beiliang must not be completely oblivious. After all, this is the capital of Beiliang. If he couldn't even control the slightest thing happening under his nose, then the King of Beiliang should have been out of the game long ago.

However, since there was a concubine in the palace, people loved him because of her, and people's hearts are inherently biased, so no one ever did anything to him.

Zi Yue had the Fifth Prince set a trap, getting the Prime Minister's son drunk so he would claim that his cousin, the Third Prince, was the future emperor and would surely ascend the throne, at which point he would…

If such words were to be uttered and reach the ears of the King of Northern Liang, how could he not feel even the slightest ripple in his heart?

In addition, Ziyue gave the Third Prince a small dose of medicine called "Sleeping Beauty," which she found and purchased from the system shop. It wasn't expensive, costing only 5 points. Out of curiosity, she bought it to try its effects.

The third prince was the unlucky fellow.

The "Sleeping Beauty" will keep a person unconscious, but even in the sleep, they will unconsciously swallow food to provide nutrients to their body, so it will never be fatal.

With the Third Prince in such a state, the imperial concubines in the palace must be very worried.

And then there's the King of Beiliang, who, as the father, surely still has a deep love for his beloved son, so he must go out of the palace to visit him.

Even if the emperor doesn't have this idea, someone will guide him out of the palace when the time comes.

Ziyue then detoxified the Third Prince before the Emperor left the palace. The Third Prince also had an accomplice of the Crown Prince planted by his side. Now that he had just recovered from a serious illness, he was overjoyed and had someone lead the Third Prince to try on the dragon robe in advance. Overjoyed, he was caught in the act by the old Emperor who came to visit his son. Hehe, now there's going to be a good show.

-

"We are very grateful for the hospitality of Kaido during our visit here these days."

"Haha, of course, of course. In my opinion, Ziyue, you should stay in Beiliang for a while longer. There are still many sights in Beiliang that you haven't seen yet." Beiliang Haitang held a jade fan in his hand, turning it between his fingers, exuding a dashing and romantic air.

"No, I've been away for a while now, and it's time to prepare for my return journey. When I have the opportunity to visit Beiliang again in the future, I will definitely ask Haitang to accompany me and we can travel together!"

Ziyue thought that since it was her first time traveling so far, she should go back and visit first to put everyone's minds at ease, and then she could go out to travel again.

Beitang Moran quickly said that he would welcome them to Beiliang at any time.

The next day, at the city gate.

"Even after a thousand miles of seeing you off, we must part ways. Let's stop here and meet again someday."

Bei Liang Haitang straightened up, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and smiled slightly. "See you another day."

As the carriage disappeared from sight, Bei Liang Haitang's smile slowly faded. After a long while, he shook his head, stretched, and a smile returned to his lips. He opened his folding fan with a swish, casually placed one hand on his abdomen, fanned himself with the other, and turned to enter the bustling crowd.

-

"She left?"

"Ah."

……

The study was quiet.

When Bei Liang Haitang saw his elder brother Bei Liang Mo Ran deep in thought, he knew his brother's feelings for Zi Yue and he could understand them.

After all, a woman as intelligent and beautiful as Ziyue, with top-notch wisdom, courage, and talent, is rare in this world.

When he first met her, he couldn't help but feel a little flutter in his heart, but he knew clearly that they were not suitable for each other. He had his mission, and she already had a partner, so he regarded her as a confidante and treated her as a friend.

Bei Liang Mo Ran was the same; he clearly understood his identity and responsibilities. As for Zi Yue, she was like the wind; what she needed was eternal freedom, not to be bound within those palace walls.

Therefore, he neither can nor intends to cross that line; he only needs to watch her be happy from afar.

He will be far away, sending her his blessings!

-

Inside the carriage, Ziyue looked at Chiling's lips, which couldn't help but curl into a smile, her joy barely concealed. "Haha, A-Ling, you're so happy that we're going back?"

Chi Ling pulled Zi Yue into her arms and admitted without hesitation, "Yes, I'm happy. Finally, I don't have to see that Bei Liang Mo Ran anymore."

Ziyue wasn't surprised at all by Chiling's jealous expression; otherwise, she wouldn't have left in such a hurry. It was because she had also noticed the difference in how Beiliang Mozhan treated her.

Chi Ling hadn't said anything yet, only silently feeling jealous, so she decided to leave Bei Liang as soon as possible.

But that doesn't stop Ziyue from teasing a certain awkward man.

"Ah Ling, you look so cute when you're jealous, haha. Mmm..." The unfinished words disappeared between their touching lips.
