Transmigration: Reverse Exploitation, the System Works for Me

Yun Xinluo was quite decisive; it was time for her to reveal the truth to Zhen Huan.

Hopefully, once the harem descends into chaos, the emperor will consider establishing an imperial concubine.

When Zhen Huan plotted against the Empress, something went wrong, and even after so much time had passed, the Emperor still hadn't promoted Consort Hua to the rank of Imperial Noble Consort.

Could it be that the shock was too great, causing the chubby orange cat to transform into a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?

Pooh!

It was all for nothing; she had been eagerly anticipating it for several days.

Hey~

That broken system keeps making random noises all day long; it might shut down any day. Where will she go to participate in the lottery then?

Xi Qiao felt a pang of worry.

That broken system looks pretty advanced, so why can't it be charged by solar power?

Do we really need luck or good deeds?

I don't know who invented this with a screw loose. It would be much more environmentally friendly and sustainable to use solar energy as an energy source. Wouldn't it be better to collect all that merit and fortune system, store it in your body, and give it to you?

This is killing three birds with one stone!

The host will receive help, the system will run smoothly, and the inventor will receive good fortune and merit.

Perfect closed loop.

The sedan chair soon arrived at the gate of Shou Kang Palace, where Aunt Fangruo, whom the emperor had assigned to take care of the Empress Dowager, personally greeted Xi Qiao at the entrance.

"This servant wishes Your Highness well."

Before Fangruo could squat down, Xi Qiao reached out and helped her up, saying, "Aunt, please don't be so polite."

"Thank you, Madam. It's cold outside. Please come inside."

After Xi Qiao was led to the warm pavilion by Fang Ruo and sat down, a young palace maid immediately served him hot tea. When the young palace maid served the tea, she secretly glanced at Xi Qiao and was stunned to see that this Fujin, dressed in auspicious clothes, was actually an acquaintance.

Sister Chunrong!

Xi Qiao nodded and smiled at her: "Stop spacing out, go downstairs."

The young palace maid murmured, "This servant thanks Madam for the reminder."

After saying that, he quickly left. If Sister Chunmao found out, she would at least grumble a few words, or at worst, give him a beating.

Fangruo stepped forward with a smile: "The Princess Consort is as kind and benevolent to these young palace maids as ever."

"Don't laugh at me, my aunt. Whenever I look at them, I feel like I'm seeing myself back then. Some hardships are best left unsaid once you've experienced them yourself. There's no need to make others go through the same thing."

Fangruo sighed inwardly. Regardless of whether this princess truly believed it, at least she had been doing it. Whether it was hypocrisy or not was unimportant; what mattered was the action.

"Now the Fujin has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel, and Consort Zhuang and the Sixth Prince in the palace have also benefited greatly from the Fujin's many good deeds in the past."

Xi Qiao shook his head: "Auntie's words make me ashamed. The Empress and the Sixth Prince are all thanks to the Emperor's grace. Without the Emperor's great favor, there would be no Zhongcui Palace today."

What does Fangruo mean?

There was a suspicion that his words contained clichés and were meant to set a trap.

Could this old bastard have also gotten involved with that vile woman Zhen Huan?

For a moment, Xi Qiao's mind raced.

If she were Zhen Huan, having already targeted the Empress, she would have taken precautions to prevent future trouble.

After all, nothing stays hidden forever. Moreover, Zhen Huan's scheme wasn't particularly clever. The reason it was mostly successful was simply because the emperor valued Empress Chun Yuan.

If the Empress Dowager recovers from her illness and is determined to stand up for the Empress, she will surely investigate thoroughly and quickly expose Zhen Huan, who is not hiding well.

Under these circumstances, Zhen Huan couldn't possibly do nothing as a precaution.

Fang Ruo, who was transferred from the imperial court to Shou Kang Palace, was her best breakthrough point.

only--

Zhen Huan had many people around her, yet she dared not receive a single word about such a big event.

Did Zhen Huan discover something amiss?

Or was Zhen Huan being too cautious?

Fangruo's smile faltered, and she bowed apologetically, saying, "Please forgive me, Madam; it was my inappropriate language."

Xi Qiao gave her a probing look: "Auntie, you flatter me. It was just a spontaneous remark. There's no need for you to apologize."

Fangruo breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for your magnanimity, Madam."

As Consort Zhen had said, Lady Yu was indeed as difficult and perceptive as she had been. She had barely shown any intention to test the waters when it was all turned away.

She sighed and continued, "The weather has suddenly turned cold recently, and the Empress Dowager's condition has been fluctuating. We servants have been working day and night without daring to be negligent or careless, and we are so busy that we are dizzy."

This also serves as an explanation for her outrageous words and actions today.

As for whether to believe it or not, that's up to Xi Qiao.

Xi Qiao immediately stood up nervously: "What! How could this be? Although I was outside the palace, I heard that the Empress Dowager's health had improved, so how could it have relapsed?"

Fangruo bowed slightly: "It's all our fault for being clumsy and unable to satisfy the Empress Dowager. To be honest, Your Highness has repeatedly asked us to invite Granny Sun back to the palace."

Xi Qiao's eyes flashed. So Fang Ruo had this idea in mind!

Indeed, she was someone close to the Emperor and trusted by him, so she naturally understood his current indifference towards the Empress Dowager. As long as Sun Zhuxi did not return to the palace, she would have to stay in Shou Kang Palace and could not return to the Emperor's presence.

Nobody wants to light a cold stove.

It's a pity that Sun Zhuxi's departure from the palace was the emperor's decision, and Fang Ruo's replacement of Sun Zhuxi to take care of the Empress Dowager and monitor her every move was also the emperor's decision.

Xi Qiao looked troubled, but a mischievous glint flashed in the depths of his eyes: "Auntie is making things difficult for me. When Granny Sun came to my side that day, she made it clear that she would stay in the Prince's Mansion to help me manage the internal affairs, and that I would take care of Granny Sun in her old age and see her off when she died."

"The Emperor and Eunuch Su are aware of this matter, and Aunt is also a person in the Imperial Court, so she should have heard about it as well."

That last sentence was like a knife, stabbing Fangruo's body hard.

Without a doubt, from the moment the emperor selected Fangruo to serve the Empress Dowager at Shou Kang Palace, Fangruo was removed from the emperor's list of confidants.

Otherwise, she would have known that Sun Zhuxi would never return to the palace, and she wouldn't have asked such a pointless question, thus revealing the fact that she had been abandoned.

Interesting!

A light gradually appeared in Xi Qiao's eyes.

Fang Ruo's expression froze completely, and she stood there in disbelief for a moment.

She had no idea!

Since entering Shou Kang Palace, she has not heard any news from the Emperor.

Sun Zhuxi knew absolutely nothing about this matter.

She thought Sun Zhuxi had only gone to the Yu residence to teach the wives and female members of the imperial family of Prince Mu the rules, but she never expected it to be like this!

If Sun Zhuxi doesn't come back, then won't she be stuck in Shou Kang Palace forever?

She came from the imperial court, and the Empress Dowager and the palace servants of Shou Kang Palace were very wary of her. Although she had the title of head maid, she had no corresponding power at all.

Everything in Shou Kang Palace was in Chunmao's hands.

Here, she was destined to be just an ordinary aunt. If the Empress Dowager were to become displeased with her one day, she might just get rid of her.

Thinking of this, Fangruo shuddered, her whole body filled with resistance.
