Transmigration: Reverse Exploitation, the System Works for Me

In Anlan Garden, Xiao Lezi was pacing anxiously, but seeing her gave her a sense of security. "Auntie, Her Majesty has a fever. This servant has already sent someone to fetch the imperial physician, but it's been quite a while!"

I'm afraid the person behind it all has made their move!

He sent a eunuch from this courtyard to fetch the imperial physician. All the trusted eunuchs he brought from the palace were keeping an eye on things in various important places, especially the Sixth Prince's side, where they dared not leave anyone out, for fear that someone might take advantage of the situation.

Xi Qiao's expression changed slightly. "You go yourself, and take two eunuchs with you."

Xiao Lezi quickly led two eunuchs assigned from the garden to run towards the place where the imperial physician was on duty.

Xi Qiao walked towards the side room, picked up the sleeping Sixth Prince, and then went to the main hall to see Yu Ying'er.

The wet nurses knew that Consort Zhuang had fallen into the water and developed a fever, but they dared not say much, for fear of being kicked out of Zhongcui Palace by Xi Qiao, the head maid.

Jin Shuang was watching over Yu Ying'er when she saw Xi Qiao carrying the Sixth Prince in. She was a little surprised and said, "Auntie, Her Majesty has some signs of fever. Please don't come in with the Sixth Prince."

Although Xi Qiao did not approach, he did not take the Sixth Prince away either. "It's alright, Her Majesty only has a fever. The Sixth Prince can stay away."

As she spoke, she ordered someone to move the Sixth Prince's small bed to the other side of Yu Ying'er's palace, near the window. She didn't let the wet nurse come in to take care of him, but only let Jin Yu and Jin Zhu, whom she had brought from the palace, watch over him.

"I'll stay here with Your Highness. You go and watch over Qingzhu." Xi Qiao put the Sixth Prince down, walked to the bedside, and touched Yu Ying'er's face. She was indeed a little feverish.

"Qingzhu also knows about Her Majesty's murder, and I'm afraid someone might try to silence her. After the medicine is decocted, I'll have Xiaolezi bring a bowl to Qingzhu as well, but you're not allowed to feed Qingzhu anything that anyone else gives her, understand?"

Jin Shuang nodded, her face pale. "Don't worry, Aunt, I've remembered everything."

"Go ahead, and call Xiao Xizi in while you're at it."

Xiao Xizi came in quickly, and Xi Qiao called him over. "Go and stand guard outside the Jiuzhou Qingyan banquet. After the banquet, go see Su Peisheng immediately and tell him about our lady's murder. Don't exaggerate, just report the truth."

Yu Ying'er is fine. The emperor was drunk at the time and wouldn't come immediately. In the meantime...

No sooner had Xiao Xizi left than Xiao Lianzi returned. “Aunt, I have found out that Prince Guo is staying at Louyue Kaiyun Pavilion next to Jiuzhou Qingyan.”

Xi Qiao nodded. "Go and prepare a set of clothes for me as a young eunuch. Pass it in through the back window, away from people."

She called Jinyu and Jinzhu over and first instructed Jinzhu, who was about the same age as her, "Later, you will change into my clothes and jewelry and stand guard by the Empress's bedside. If the Empress wakes up during this time, do not let her make a sound."

Then she said to Jinyu, "Sixth Prince will only sleep for another half an hour at most before he has to wake up to drink milk. When that time comes, go and call the wet nurse in and take Sixth Prince to the next room to feed him. After Sixth Prince has eaten his fill, have the wet nurse bring him back."

She gave all sorts of instructions and arrangements. These people were all handpicked by Xi Qiao. She couldn't say they were 100% loyal to her, but at least she didn't have to worry about anyone betraying her.

After another cup of tea's time, Xiao Lezi returned in a disheveled state, accompanied by an imperial physician.

While the imperial physician was examining Yu Ying'er and prescribing medicine, Xiao Lezi, with a gloomy expression, told Xi Qiao about the things that happened on the way to the imperial physician's office.

"Not far from our Anlan Garden, this servant and his men encountered a group of people carrying Shoushan Stone. As this servant passed by them, the stone suddenly rolled off the cart and came crashing down on this servant."

"Fortunately, I was alert and dodged to the side as soon as I noticed something was wrong. Unfortunately, there was a slope there, and the big rocks rolled along with it. I could only jump into the lotus lake next to me. Although I was a bit disheveled, at least I wasn't injured. Xiao Linzi was hit squarely, and his leg was broken."

Xi Qiao took a deep breath. This Prince Guo certainly had some connections and influence in the garden.

"I understand. Go back and change your clothes quickly. When you go with the imperial physician to get the medicine later, get an extra dose. I'm afraid Qingzhu's condition isn't good either. You also need to personally supervise the brewing of the medicine, and deliver it to Qingzhu personally when it's ready."

"Don't worry, Aunt, this servant will keep a close eye on things."

"Well, let's go."

After the imperial physician wrote the prescription and left, Xi Qiao immediately changed clothes and jewelry with Jin Zhu in Yu Ying'er's room. She applied rouge and powder to her face, and although she didn't look like Jin Zhu, she wouldn't be easily recognized as her.

After giving the two palace maids some more instructions, Xi Qiao carried the food box containing the eunuch's clothes and left Anlan Garden with her head down. After walking a distance, she went into a secluded grove and changed into the eunuch's clothes. She let down the hair at the back of her head and braided it, hiding the rest in her hair ornament.

A handsome young eunuch with delicate features appeared.

Although Louyue Kaiyun Pavilion is large, given Prince Guo's status, he would certainly reside in the main hall.

Today is Princess Wenyi's birthday banquet, and many places have had their staff mobilized to help out. Louyue Kaiyun Pavilion is no exception.

Moreover, Prince Guo has always disliked large crowds and only allowed Ah Jin to serve him personally. Now that there is no master present, the Louyue Kaiyun Pavilion is almost unattended.

With the aid of his mental abilities, Xi Qiao easily slipped in and then climbed through the back window into the right side room of the main hall.

The main hall has five bays in width and two bays in depth. The two rooms on the right are used as a study and a reception room, while the room on the left is used as a living room.

Xi Qiao bent low and walked through the hall, quickly finding her way to the bedroom. After measuring the distance from the bedroom to the back wall with her mental power, she moved the crane-shaped incense burner to the bedside.

Behind the dormitory is the shower room, and beyond that is an empty back wall, perfect for Xi Qiao to hide here and cause trouble.

She calmly opened the incense burner lid, found the incense-burning tools on the antique shelf next to her, skillfully pressed down the incense ash, lit two high-quality smokeless charcoal cakes and buried them in the incense ash, and then took out a love potion from her space and placed it diagonally above the charcoal cakes through the incense ash.

After doing all this, Xi Qiao smiled and tidied up a bit, then climbed out of the back window of the study and squatted in a hidden spot behind the back wall of the dormitory.

Prince Guo and his servants did not keep her waiting long. In less than half an hour, A Jin helped the drunken Prince Guo into his bedchamber.

As Ah Jin helped Prince Guo step into the main hall, a leaf the size of a fingernail gently brushed away the incense ash in the incense burner, revealing a half-burnt charcoal cake inside.

The love potion was pushed and rolled onto the charcoal cake. Under the high temperature, the effects of the love potion began to evaporate and quickly filled the bedroom.

The description of the love potion states that its seven-day infatuation effect is targeted at men, and both men in the bedchamber are men...

Prince Guo, the master, was drunk, but Ah Jin, the strong and healthy servant, remained sober...
