Transmigration: Reverse Exploitation, the System Works for Me

Yun trembled even more violently under the emperor's undisguised gaze.

She didn't hear the emperor say she could be excused from the formalities, but instead a large, thick hand pinched her chin and lifted her head.

Lady Yun was immediately terrified, her eyes filled with tears, and she looked at the emperor with extreme fear.

The emperor ignored her gaze, calmly looking into her eyes, and his words were like a thunderclap: "Yun, I believe you understand what I mean."

This is not a discussion, it is a notification, it is an order.

Yun's body trembled like a sieve, and the tears that had been welling up in her eyes flowed silently down into the emperor's palm, which was holding her chin.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am already a wife and mother and am unworthy to serve the monarch. I beg Your Majesty to rescind your decree and let me go home."

Absurd, absurd, this is utterly absurd!

Lady Yun did not ask why the emperor had taken a liking to her; she had no interest in knowing, and the emperor might not be willing to tell her anyway. She was filled with fear and could only helplessly beg the emperor to show mercy.

"Heh—" The emperor chuckled enigmatically. "Whether she is worthy or not is for me to decide. Yun, I'll give you three days to think it over."

The emperor released her hand, and with a slight lift of his fingers, he intentionally or unintentionally wiped away the tear stains on her left cheek.

He was not angered by Yun's refusal, nor did he utter any threatening words; he remained nonchalant and confident.

Because no one could refuse him, no one could oppose his will, and no one could challenge imperial power.

Both thunder and rain are divine favors, and neither the Yun family nor the Zhen family can do anything but accept them.

After the emperor left, Cui Jinxi rushed into the inner room. Seeing Yun Shi with tears in her eyes, Cui Jinxi pinched herself without her noticing, forcing out two tears.

"Madam, are you alright? How could the Emperor disregard human relations!"

As Cui Jinxi wiped away Yun Shi's tears with a handkerchief, she muttered in a tearful voice, spitting out the emperor's behavior.

She also explained why she was not there: "As soon as the Emperor arrived, he went straight to the inner chamber, and I was stopped at the door. Later, Eunuch Su brought the Second Miss out and handed her to me, asking me to take her to the left wing."

Yun was in a daze, and only reacted when she heard the words "Second Miss".

She hurriedly threw away the thin quilt in front of her, disregarding her appearance and decorum, and ran barefoot to the left wing wearing only her undergarments.

Cui Jinxi watched her back from behind, her eyes flashing with a complex light.

Fearing that Yun Shi might not be able to bear the emperor's unique favor and would commit suicide, she deliberately mentioned Zhen Yu Rao in front of her.

A mother's love is strong. Even if Yun Shi didn't care about Zhen Shi, who indirectly pushed her into this situation, she still had to take care of her innocent and young daughter!

The emperor kept the events depicted in the natural paintings extremely secret; no one except the parties involved knew anything about them.

Xi Qiao only knew that the emperor had visited the Natural Painting and left after staying for about fifteen minutes.

—She arranged for people to be in the artificial hill pavilion on the other side of the back lake, facing the natural landscape across the lake.

Although it was impossible to see clearly across the vast lake, only the emperor was an adult male who was qualified to wear bright yellow clothes in the Yuanmingyuan.

Looks like good news is on the way!

As night fell, Xi Qiao secretly went to Qingliang Palace.

Upon meeting her, she took the initiative to apologize, saying, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. If it weren't for helping me, Your Majesty wouldn't have had to suffer such injustice."

Consort Hua was indeed angry, but Xi Qiao accounted for less than a third of that anger. Her anger was mainly directed at the Emperor and Zhen Huan.

However, Consort Hua couldn't understand why Xi Qiao would come up with such a terrible idea, no matter how hard she racked her brains!

She almost thought Xi Qiao was a spy sent by Zhen Huan's side to teach her a lesson!

Consort Hua couldn't understand, so she asked directly, "What exactly do you want from my family to send a portrait?"

Xi Qiao had already prepared his questions before arriving, and was just waiting for her to ask.

"Your Majesty, this matter is a long story..."

"Then let's get straight to the point!" Consort Hua's patience was wearing thin.

amount……

His train of thought was interrupted, and Xi Qiao took a full two seconds to reorganize his thoughts: "In short, Zhen Huan and her daughter look very much like the late Empress Chun Yuan, especially Zhen Yun, who is exactly like Empress Chun Yuan reincarnated."

Consort Hua was so shocked that she was speechless and could only stare wide-eyed at Xi Qiao.

"Your Majesty is right. The reason why the Emperor dotes on Zhen Huan so much is because he has always used her as a substitute for Empress Chun Yuan. This is not a secret at all; anyone who has seen Empress Chun Yuan's true face knows this."

"This servant only planned to have the Emperor see the portrait of Zhen Yunshi. Who knew that the Emperor would directly order Zhen Yunshi to enter the Yuanmingyuan to visit Zhen Huan, and then, by sheer coincidence, the Emperor saw her face."

"As for the Emperor's reaction," Xi Qiao couldn't help but laugh twice, "Haha—"

"You must have heard that His Majesty bestowed the Natural Painting Painting upon Lady Zhen Yun and Miss Zhen Er for temporary residence. I have another piece of news that you may not know: at the beginning of Shenshi (3 PM), His Majesty went to the Natural Painting Painting in secret."

"Even if Zhen Yunshi is not the emperor's woman now, it won't be long before she is."

She had a smile on her lips and her voice was clearly gentle, but Consort Hua inexplicably felt a little cold.

Thank goodness, she and Chunrong are on the same path!

Consort Hua felt fortunate once again.

What followed was a strong sense of pleasure and unparalleled enjoyment.

Ha, the emperor has taken a liking to Zhen Yunshi, doesn't that mean a scene of a mother and daughter sharing a husband is about to unfold in the palace?

This is the first time such an event has been recorded in the Qing Dynasty imperial family! It's bound to attract a lot of attention.

"But would Zhen Yunshi agree?"

Consort Hua was a little uneasy, fearing that Zhen Yunshi's displeasure would ruin this rare and wonderful scandalous drama.

Xi Qiao confidently stated, "Your Majesty, what Chief Steward Huang said at Bitong Academy today was not useless nonsense. When Zhen Huan wrote a letter to Prince Guo, she mixed plum blossom fragrance into the ink she used, and since she gained favor, this fragrance has almost become exclusively hers."

"The Emperor's order for Zhen Huan to stay in the palace to rest and prepare for childbirth was not to protect her, but because he was truly furious. Zhen Yunshi was in Bi Tong Academy at the time, and she would definitely have gotten the truth out of Zhen Huan."

"Even if she didn't care about Zhen Huan and the child in Zhen Huan's womb, she had to think about her innocent and naive young daughter! Either she would follow the emperor's wishes and climb into the dragon bed to live, or the whole family would be reunited in the underworld."

As the saying goes, it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death, and besides, it involves the lives of her two daughters and grandson, so Zhen Yunshi couldn't bear to part with them.

From the moment she entered the Yuanmingyuan, she had only one path to take: to obey the emperor.

Consort Hua's eyes shone brightly, and a slightly perverse smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
