Transmigration: Reverse Exploitation, the System Works for Me

The Empress Dowager fiddled with the Buddhist prayer beads in her hand, "Have someone investigate who passed through the Cining Palace Garden when Consort Shu had her accident."

Consort Fang's miscarriage was also due to a fall that injured the fetus.

Although the Empress Dowager issued the order, the matter came to nothing. Perhaps it was because there were many concubines residing in Cining Palace, and the palace servants serving them were numerous and varied, making it impossible to investigate. Or perhaps the investigation focused on someone who shouldn't have been investigated. Who knows? Who cares?

Oh, Shu agreed that she cares.

But what if she cares?

Having lost her child, all she could do was grieve and cry.

When Yu Ying'er came to visit Suo Chuoluo, she was lying in bed looking withered and no longer had her former beauty and charm.

This sight really startled Yu Ying'er, and she felt even more fortunate to have her older sister who always planned and schemed for her, which strengthened her resolve to obediently listen to her sister.

“Sister Shu,” Yu Ying’er sat down on the edge of the bed and took her hand, “How come you’ve become like this after only a few days? Is it because the people taking care of you aren’t doing their jobs properly?”

Sochoro shook her head weakly, "Thank you for coming to see me, sister."

She smiled sadly, "Now everyone in the palace avoids me like the plague, only my sister is still willing to come here."

"What are you saying, sister? We both came from the Empress Dowager's palace, so naturally we are closer than others. Besides, you have protected me a lot in the past, and I am not an ungrateful person."

She truly had feelings for Sochoro.

She held Suochuoluo's hand, racking her brains to say comforting words, "I know you're sad because you lost your child, but you must cheer up. You can't live in this palace without the emperor's favor. Think of your parents at home. You can't let them lose their daughter too."

Sochoro looked distressed. “I know, I know everything, but I’ve been bleeding nonstop ever since my miscarriage. I’ve been given bowl after bowl of medicine, but it’s not working. In fact, the bleeding is getting heavier every day. Sister, I’m afraid I won’t make it.”

As she spoke, tears streamed down Sochoro's face.

Yu Ying'er's heart skipped a beat in fright; no wonder she smelled a strong stench of blood as soon as she entered.

"Sister Shu..."

She called out softly, her mind blank, not knowing what to say. For the first time, she felt death so close.

Socholok ultimately did not survive and passed away in mid-June.

Xi Qiao went to see her specifically and even asked the Left Chief Physician of the Imperial Hospital to examine her pulse before the Empress Dowager. In the end, he only received the conclusion that the blood-activating substances in her body were stagnant and there was no way to save her.

With just this one sentence, Xi Qiao knew that the one who had plotted against Suochuoluo was undoubtedly the Empress.

This was the first time she had faced the cruelty of the imperial harem, and the first time she had witnessed a young girl wither and die. For several days, her mood was particularly heavy.

After the Left Imperial Physician's diagnosis, she secretly gave Suochuoluo a detoxification pill, but it only prolonged her life by half a month. She had lost too much blood, and her bodily functions had completely failed.

After Lady Suochuoluo passed away, the emperor posthumously conferred upon her the title of Shuchangzai, and the matter was put to rest.

The death of a concubine in the palace did not cause a ripple, but the premature birth of Consort Cao due to shock shook the entire harem.

I'm so scared!

Premature birth!

Even the most oblivious person would have noticed something was amiss; Consort Cao was the third pregnant woman in the palace to have an incident!

The first two were either demoted to commoners and banished to the cold palace, or their lives ended tragically. I wonder what became of Consort Cao.

Many people are making malicious speculations, and it's probably more likely that both mother and daughter died!
