Transmigration: Reverse Exploitation, the System Works for Me

The fourth and fifth princes were the perfect age for this princess, but the empress and empress dowager did not approve of either of them.

In this way, the greatest value of this princess, whose age was awkward, was that she completely tied the Yu sisters to the Ulanara family's ship.

Given the Emperor's favor towards the Yu sisters and the Sixth Prince, even if this adopted son is a spoiled brat, his future will be bright. If the Third Prince succeeds in the future, this princess's daughter may also have a promising future.

Xiao Yunzi nodded, "Yes, Your Highness. The ladies and servants in the palace all thought it was the Emperor's favor towards the Sixth Prince and Consort Zhuang, but little did they know that it was the Empress Dowager and the Empress who were pulling the strings."

It must be because the Empress Dowager saw that the Empress had lost power, and in order to completely bind Consort Zhuang and the Sixth Prince to their side, that she bestowed such a great favor upon Princess Yujia.

Zhen Huan sneered: "Although it's somewhat unexpected, it makes sense upon closer inspection."

"Although the Yu sisters are the Empress Dowager's people, with the Sixth Prince and her favor, they are bound to have other thoughts and no longer want to rely on the Empress Dowager. After all, having finally escaped being controlled by others, who would be willing to go back into the cage?"

“In the past, the Yu sisters could only be at the mercy of the Empress Dowager and the Empress, and could only obey orders. But now that this marriage is in place, they are not only equal relatives with the Empress, but also allies and partners with shared interests.”

"He only offered her the position of a prince's wife, and she completely won over the hearts of the Yu sisters and even brought the emperor's most beloved youngest son into her camp."

"Although Consort Hua currently holds power in the harem, enjoying favor, authority, and women, and with Consort Jin and others assisting her, she seems to be at her peak. However, the Empress has the Emperor's eldest and youngest sons, and she will surely have her moment of glory in the future."

The emperor will grow old one day. In the harem, favor and princesses are useless. Only the princes are the true support.

The Emperor currently has only four sons, and he values ​​his eldest son the most, constantly inquiring about his studies. He dotes on his youngest son the most, frequently bestowing gifts and visits upon him.

The two princes in the middle were treated as if they had been adopted, and were consistently ignored.

Xiao Yunzi was dumbfounded. Had the Empress and the Empress Dowager abandoned the Emperor's favor and started plotting to seize the throne?

"This...this...My lord, shall we then take action and disrupt this matter?"

Xiao Yunzi asked with a worried expression.

"This servant thinks that since Consort Zhuang has sided with the Empress, she will surely speak well of the Empress to the Emperor. This servant has also heard that the Empress Dowager is recovering well, and the Empress Dowager will certainly not abandon the Empress. When Consort Zhuang and the Empress Dowager work together, the Emperor may no longer care about the Empress's private use of the late Empress Chun Yuan's belongings."

She was, after all, the Empress, the mother of the nation.

If someone is forced to remain ill and recuperate due to a charge of improperly storing Empress Chun Yuan's belongings, even the officials of the previous dynasty might have something to say about it.

After blurting out her words, Xiao Yunzi cautiously raised her eyes to observe Zhen Huan's expression. Although their mistress had now accepted the Emperor's decision to use her as a substitute for Empress Chun Yuan, the matter involved too many people and things, and it was ultimately an unresolved knot.

Zhen Huan's expression changed as expected.

Using the Empress Chun Yuan's belongings for personal purposes—these words inevitably brought back the unbearable scene and the deep resentment that Zhen Huan felt on Mid-Autumn Festival.

The hatred of killing her father, the humiliation of sharing a husband with her birth mother, and the predicament of being pointed at and gossiped about.

All of this is because of Consort Zhuang and the Empress!

If it weren't for Consort Zhuang, she wouldn't have written a letter to Prince Guo, and the Zhen family wouldn't have been implicated.

If her family hadn't been raided, how could her mother have been discovered by the Ulanara family? How could she have become a pawn of the Empress and the Ulanara family?

If it weren't for the unexpected turn of events during the Mid-Autumn Festival, due to the Empress Dowager and the Empress's own selfish motives, she would probably still be kept in the dark.

Unaware of her father's death, unaware that her birth mother was imprisoned in the palace and became the emperor's concubine, and unaware that she was nothing more than a ridiculous substitute.

Heaven was so cruel to her, yet occasionally it would cast a sliver of favor upon her.

Tell her not to associate with thieves or with enemies.

Zhen Huan took a few deep breaths to suppress her surging emotions, then turned to look at the Ru kiln double-eared vase on the high flower stand and the two or three plum blossoms inserted in it.

A faint look of disgust appeared in her eyes, which reflected the proud silhouette of the plum blossoms.

Although Empress Chun Yuan had no connection with her, Zhen Huan couldn't help but feel resentful when she thought about her own situation and experiences.

Whether she was Empress Chun Yuan or Empress, she was ultimately from the Ulanara family.

"I originally intended to find a suitable opportunity to meet with the Empress and bribe Imperial Chef Chen to put something that would promote blood circulation in my meals, and to expose the two things I did: to ensure that her position as the primary consort was not threatened by adding musk to Consort Hua's Huan Yi Xiang incense."

Once this is accomplished, with a little guidance, it will be easy to incite the concubines' suspicion and hatred towards the Empress.

Especially Consort Hua, although the matter of the musk in the Huan Yi Fragrance was attributed to the deceased deposed Consort Qi, many people, including Consort Hua herself, understood that although Consort Qi had the motive, she absolutely did not have such connections.

One was Consort Hua, and the other was her.

If the Empress can't tolerate either the favored or the unfavored, then what about the others?

As soon as someone becomes suspicious and orders an investigation, her people can point the finger at the Empress.

Regardless of whether there is substantial evidence, as long as all the concubines unanimously accuse the Empress of poisoning the imperial heir and harming the concubines, the Emperor will inevitably retaliate against the Empress.

Most of the concubines in the palace came from distinguished families, especially Consort Hua.

Her brother was still fighting for the emperor on the northwestern battlefield.

Even if it was just to stabilize morale and to ensure that Nian Gengyao on the front lines would remain loyal to his duties, the emperor had to take it seriously and give everyone an explanation.

Is it possible that the Empress is innocent?

impossible!

Based on what she has found using Prince Guo's men so far, the Empress has successfully caused the miscarriages and deaths of two pregnant concubines: Consort Fang and Consort Shu.

Although Consort Xin also suffered a miscarriage, she was fortunate enough to survive.

Finally, it was her turn. However, the Empress failed to succeed and was instead discovered and used by her.

Two lives lost, three imperial heirs—not counting those whose cases haven't been investigated yet—that's enough to warrant deposing the empress.

Therefore, the empress is never innocent; as long as the emperor investigates, the empress will never escape unscathed.

Even if the emperor doesn't want to punish the empress, the previous dynasty will not agree.

The removal of the empress is almost inevitable!

With Empress Ulanara falling from her throne in the harem, the Ulanara family in the court will inevitably be attacked by all sides.

Even with the Empress Dowager's intervention to save Ulanara's life, she would never have a good life.

Almost everyone in the palace with children had been harmed by Ulanara, and even those without children suspected that they had been secretly harmed by her.
