Transmigration: Reverse Exploitation, the System Works for Me

No need to please her husband, no need to endure the pain of ten months of pregnancy and childbirth, no need to compete with the concubines in the harem, and no need to worry about raising children.

What good fortune and joy this is!

They can enjoy a lifetime of wealth and luxury without any effort.

This is a blessing that many women could never attain in several lifetimes.

The envious and jealous concubines ignored Yu Ying'er and tacitly isolated and neglected her.

Fortunately, Yu Ying'er didn't care about their attitude. On the contrary, she was very happy that she had made them suffer a setback on her own.

Hmph, these people have been making fun of her at gatherings ever since my sister left the palace!

An eerie silence fell over the main hall of Chengqian Palace. Apart from the occasional cries of pain from Zhen Huan that came from Yun Xinluo's bedroom, it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

It wasn't until after a cup of tea that the Imperial Concubine finally arrived.

"Oh dear, Your Majesty, I am late. Please forgive me."

Consort Hua apologized politely, but before the Empress could even say "no need for formalities," she had already walked towards the first chair below the Empress.

The Empress's face darkened again, but she remained silent, completely ignoring the situation.

Since the Empress herself didn't care anymore, the concubines sitting below naturally wouldn't stand up for her.

Consort Hua sat down leisurely and looked around at the concubines sitting in the room: "Who can tell me what exactly happened? I remember that after Consort Zhen had bleeding last time, the imperial physician told her to rest well. How come she fell in the Imperial Garden and is about to have a premature birth?"

As a witness to Zhen Huan's fall, Consort Qi, fearing that Consort Hua would blame her, quickly spoke up to disclaim any involvement: "It was Consort Zhen who fell because she refused to listen to advice and insisted on wandering around."

"I told her to stay home and not wander around, but she said the imperial physician told her to move around more. As a result, she turned around and somehow fell and bled."

In all honesty, although Consort Qi disliked Consort Zhen and her daughter Consort Yun, she never intended to harm them.

Consort Hua snorted softly. This Consort Qi is a consort, after all. I don't know why she is so timid and cowardly.

The Empress above frowned and interrupted their conversation. After explaining the situation in a few words, she frowned as she looked at the gate of Chengqian Palace: "Can someone be sent to inform the Emperor?"

The head maid of Chengqian Palace immediately stepped forward and replied, "Your Majesty, I have already sent someone to Yangxin Hall. However, we have not yet received a reply."

Although the war in the Northwest has been going very well recently, the national treasury is tight, and the Ministry of Revenue is almost unable to supply the Northwest with grain and military pay. The emperor is extremely worried about this and spends all his time in the Hall of Mental Cultivation discussing the matter with his ministers.

The concubines in the harem were aware of this to some extent.

But it is precisely because we know this that we feel Consort Zhuang is favored even more.

Despite the tight national treasury, the Emperor was still willing to allocate 50,000 taels of silver to renovate the Prince Mu's residence in order to elevate the status of Consort Zhuang and the Sixth Prince.

"Very well, since His Majesty is busy, I can stay here and keep watch. Go and check on Consort Zhen's condition."

"Yes."

After the head maid left, a palace servant from Yanxi Palace came to see her, to apologize on behalf of Consort An.

Consort An twisted her ankle, and the imperial physician said she needed to rest in bed for a period of time after examining her.

In the east wing of Chengqian Palace, Yun Xinluo stood guard beside Zhen Huan, keeping a close eye on the two midwives sent by the Imperial Household Department, fearing that they might do something shady at this critical moment, causing the deaths of Zhen Huan and her unborn child.

Time was too short, and since Yun Xinluo was not the head of Chengqian Palace, no special delivery room was prepared for Zhen Huan. The Empress and the late-arriving Consort Hua clearly didn't care whether there was a delivery room or not.

In the east wing, palace servants came and went from time to time, sometimes bringing in labor-inducing medicine, sometimes bringing out bloody fluid to be poured out.

Xiao Yunzi kept her head down and blended into the crowd, unnoticed by anyone.

He walked to Yun Xinluo's side: "Miss Yun, this servant has something important to report. Please come to me."

Yun Xinluo only glanced at him before waving her hand and saying, "What could be more important than Huan'er giving birth right now? You can go out now. We'll talk about everything after Huan'er safely delivers the princess."

Xiao Yunzi insisted, "Miss Yun, this matter is extremely urgent, and it concerns the life and safety of my mistress. Please, Miss Yun, listen to what I have to say."

Upon hearing this, Yun Xinluo dared not take any more risks. She immediately ordered her maid to keep an eye on the two midwives, while she herself took Xiao Yunzi to the other side of the warm pavilion to talk.

"Please take a look, Miss Yun."

Xiao Yunzi presented several pieces of evidence bearing bloody handprints to Yun Xinluo.

"After subduing Huichun, I sent her to the Shenxing Division, and then..."

Yun Xinluo was startled by his words and immediately interrupted him: "Where to send it? To the Shenxing Division!"

"Are you out of your mind? How dare you send someone to the Shenxing Division? How long have we been in the palace? How many years has the Empress and Empress Dowager been cultivating their influence there? How could the people in the Shenxing Division possibly..."

How could they not recognize Huichun? How could they dare to harm Huichun? Sending Huichun to Shenxing Division would likely result in the Empress receiving the news sooner. This move would only further enrage the Empress, forcing her to kill Huan'er.

Yun Xinluo stood there, stunned, and didn't say anything more.

Because Xiaoyunzi appeared in front of her perfectly fine and even produced a testimony that Huichun had signed and sealed, all her worries were unnecessary and would absolutely not happen.

In an instant, Yun Xinluo understood everything.

Zhen Huan was worried that Empress Zhuang's plan to harm her during childbirth was a ruse, and that her true intention was to eliminate Empress Zhuang.

Yun Xinluo was nothing more than a link in Zhen Huan's scheme.

She was so foolish that she actually believed Zhen Huan's words, and tried her best to relieve her worries and think about her well-being, only to find that she was being led into a trap that had already been set up.

Yun Xinluo staggered back two steps, her knees hitting the edge of the heated pit, and she slumped down, completely powerless.

In that instant, she suddenly realized that all her judgments about her daughter Zhen Huan were one-sided and wrong.

She thought that based on her relationship with Zhen Huan, they should be the closest and most trusting people in the world.

Even if there is scheming or exploitation, it can be laid bare and is harmless, without damaging the relationship or interests between the parties.

But Zhen Huan's actions now clearly tell Yun Xinluo that this is not the case!

They are indeed closer and more reliable to each other than ordinary people, but the level of trust is just so-so.

Xiao Yunzi lowered his eyes with some reluctance. In the young master's original plan, this evidence was supposed to be presented to the emperor in front of all the concubines in the harem after the young master entered the delivery room.

At that time, the cries of pain from the young lady giving birth in the delivery room, and the weeping of the young lady outside the delivery room, will surely remind the Emperor of the scene of Empress Chun Yuan's difficult childbirth.

Presenting Huichun's confession at this moment would surely enrage the Emperor!

such a pity……

One wrong step and one wrong step after another.
