Quickly Transmigrate to Save the Child of Heaven

In the courtyard where Old Lady Sheng lived, sunlight filtered through the gaps between the leaves, casting dappled shadows. The old lady sat upright on a throne in the main hall, a kind smile on her face as she looked at Molan as she entered.

Molan walked in gracefully, followed by her personal maid, Moxue. As she approached, Molan bowed gracefully and said softly, "Grandma, how are you? Your granddaughter, Molan, has come to see you today."

The old lady smiled and nodded, then asked, "Mo'er, how come you are so free today and have time to come visit me, your mistress?"

Molan lowered her head slightly and glanced at Moxue. Moxue understood and hurried forward, placing the food box on the table and opening the lid to reveal the exquisite pastries inside.

Molan raised her head and said in a soft voice, "Grandma, this is the pastry that I went to the street to pick out for you today. Please try it and see if it suits your taste." As she spoke, she personally took out a piece of lotus pastry with an attractive color and a shape like a blooming lotus from the food box and gently handed it to the old lady.

Old Lady Sheng took the lotus cake with a smile and put it in her mouth to chew carefully. She felt that the dessert melted in her mouth, sweet and delicious, leaving a lasting aftertaste. She nodded with satisfaction and praised, "Mm, delicious! Mo'er is really thoughtful."

Mo Lan was secretly delighted to hear her grandmother's praise, but she remained humble. She paused for a moment before speaking again, "Grandma, Mo Er actually came here to ask for your help on something else."

Old Mrs. Sheng put down the unfinished cake in her hand, looked at Molan with interest, and motioned her to continue.

Mo Lan took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "Grandmother, you know that Mo'er will definitely need to enter the palace one day, and my sisters will definitely marry into wealthy families. However, the sisters in the mansion currently know very little about the rules and regulations of household management. If they marry into their husband's family, they may find it difficult to handle the complexities of the harem. Therefore, Mo'er boldly requests that Grandmother please hire an experienced nanny to teach the sisters in this area. This will not only benefit the sisters, but also bring honor to our entire Sheng family through their outstanding performance. Furthermore, Grandmother must also be aware that with Mo'er's future development, the Sheng family will inevitably rise with her status. By then, without sufficient harem skills to rely on, how can the sisters in the mansion withstand the attacks and threats?"

Old Madam Sheng narrowed her eyes slightly, pondering for a moment before realizing that the girls of the Sheng family did indeed require special instruction and training. However, of all her granddaughters, Molan undoubtedly required the most urgent care. After all, her future path and the lifestyle she sought would differ from those of her sisters. With this in mind, Old Madam Sheng spoke slowly, "Grandmother is aware of this matter. In a few days, I'll find someone suitable to teach you. Mo'er, you should learn and listen carefully!"

Upon hearing this, Molan's face immediately blossomed with a brilliant smile, and she replied in a sweet voice, "Great! Thank you for your concern, Grandmother!" Just then, a servant hurried in, bowed, and reported, "Madam, a guest has arrived in the front hall, bringing many gifts, claiming they are for our fourth daughter. Do you think we should let her go and take a look?"

Then, accompanied by her maids, Old Lady Sheng led Molan to the front hall in a dignified manner. A eunuch in eunuch clothes was standing inside. Upon seeing Molan, he hurried forward, bowed, and said, "These are specially brought to you by the officials. Please take a look. Also, please tell me not to forget the appointment on the 15th!"

Upon hearing this, Molan's face lit up with an elegant smile, and she nodded slightly, saying, "Thank you for the trip, eunuch. Please thank the emperor for his kindness. Please tell the emperor that I will remember this and will never forget it!" After that, she turned to look at her personal maid, Moxue, and whispered, "Moxue, go get ten taels of silver to buy tea for this eunuch."

Mo Xue responded immediately, quickly handing the eunuch a brand new ten-liang silver note. The eunuch accepted the note, thanked him profusely, and then departed. After the visitor left, Mo Lan gracefully walked over to the gift box and personally opened the lid. Inside, she saw a vast assortment of exquisite jewelry, gleaming with dazzling gemstones. Furthermore, a wealth of fine, vibrantly colored fabrics were neatly stacked, their value evident at a glance.

Molan began to choose with great interest. She picked up a gold hairpin studded with pearls and jade, placed it in her hair, gestured with it for a few moments, then set it down. She then picked up a pair of shimmering jade bracelets, slipped them on her wrists, and gently twisted them, admiring them. After a careful selection, Molan finally chose a few and asked Moxue to have the servants deliver them to her courtyard. Looking at the remaining items, Molan said, "Moxue, have someone divide these jewelry and fabrics among the women in each courtyard of the mansion. Don't be partial." Moxue responded and set about arranging for the gifts to be delivered.

Inside the palace, Zhao Zhen sat at his desk, meticulously flipping through a mountain of memorials. Just then, a eunuch hurried into the hall, bowed, and delivered the news he had brought back from outside the palace. Zhao Zhen smiled faintly, his lips curling upwards as if he had already made a plan.

It turned out that all this was thanks to the miraculous recipe Molan had provided. With this recipe, Zhao Zhen successfully earned a large sum of money from the glass business, and his private treasury was now extremely rich. However, despite the national treasury facing a deficit, Zhao Zhen had no intention of adding this wealth earned from the glass to the treasury. He was well aware that the treasury's deficit was caused not only by natural disasters and man-made disasters, but also by the corruption and abuse of power by the ministers in the court.

At the same time, Zhao Zhen's mind involuntarily drifted to the image of the young girl who had captivated him. The thought of her entering the palace to accompany him softened his expression. But soon, his serious demeanor returned, and he secretly resolved to eliminate all potential threats from the palace. The first of these to be targeted was Empress Cao's family—the Cao clan.

Although Empress Cao was gentle, virtuous, and of excellent character, deeply respected and beloved by the harem, the Cao family's influence at court was too immense. Furthermore, Prince Gun and his ilk were constantly eyeing the throne, constantly waiting for an opportunity to seize it. Therefore, Zhao Zhen felt the need to plan ahead and prepare for the future. After all, he was now in his forties, and his health was no longer as robust as it had been in his youth. If the young girl entered the palace and successfully gave birth to a prince, he would likely not be able to see him grow up with his current energy. By then, both the powerful aristocratic families and the ambitious Prince Gun would likely become significant obstacles to his son's advancement. Therefore, he would never tolerate such a scenario!

With this thought in mind, Zhao Zhen decisively waved his hand, signaling the eunuchs around him to summon the secret guards to the emperor. Moments later, several well-trained and agile secret guards silently appeared in the hall. Zhao Zhen looked at them gravely and said in a deep voice, "I command you to expedite the collection of evidence against the Cao family. No mistakes!" The secret guards responded in unison, "As you command!" Then, like ghosts, they vanished from the spot, beginning to carry out the emperor's important mission...
