Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

A beautiful, smiling face came into view. She was as gentle as a budding flower, quiet and charming.

Her smile was so heartwarming, and her eyes so captivating.

Gong Shangjiao stared at her with amazement for a while before speaking, "I've had some food prepared. Have some first, I'll be back later."

Shangguan Qian nodded: "Go ahead and get busy."

Gong Shangjiao nodded and turned to leave. Wine was laid out at the palace gate, and everyone was waiting for him. Gong Shangjiao had to go out to entertain them.

Peony brought in some food: "Madam, Young Master Jiao was worried you were hungry, so he specially asked someone to prepare some food."

Shangguan Qian: "Put it on the table, and bring my cat over too."

Xiao Qi didn't come in with him, so Gong Shangjiao instructed Jin Fu to make arrangements for her.

Peony: "Yes, this servant will go right away."

Peony went to the door to ask someone to bring the cat over, then came back to set out the dishes, and then went over to help Shangguan Qian to her seat.

Shangguan Qian was indeed a little hungry, and she ate until she was about 70-80% full before stopping.

Xiao Qi: "Host, I'm here. It's so lively today."

Shangguan Qian: "Have you eaten? I saved some for you."

Xiao Qi: "Great, I haven't had enough yet."

Seeing that Xiao Qi was eating heartily, Shangguan Qian rested for a while and then asked someone to prepare water.

After showering and changing clothes, and letting my hair down, I felt completely comfortable.

Ask someone to prepare a pot of tea, and while drinking tea, read a storybook you bought while traveling.

Xiao Qi nestled nearby, while Shangguan Qian petted the cat with one hand and held a book with the other.

When Miyazaki returned, he saw this quiet and comfortable scene.

Hearing the noise, Shangguan Qian looked up and saw him: "Are you done with your work?"

Gong Shangjiao walked over and sat down opposite her: "Hmm, what book are you reading?"

Shangguan Qian: "A storybook is good for passing the time."

Gong Shangjiao didn't expect her to like watching these things, but considering her young age, he could understand.

Gong Shangjiao: "If you like to watch it, I'll have someone find some and send them over."

Shangguan Qian: "I've also collected some."

Miyazaki: "I had people collect all sorts of things."

Shangguan Qian smiled slightly: "Then thank you."

Miyako Kakuya's lips curled up: "You can do whatever you want from now on. You can do whatever you want in Kakuya."

Shangguan Qian: "Okay."

After talking for a while, the two went their separate ways to rest.

Gong Shangjiao returned to another room; it wasn't appropriate for the two of them to sleep in the same room now.

However, Miyazaki will not allow this news to get out.

The next day, Shangguan Qian slept until noon, as she often stayed up late at night.

I was watching TV series last night and didn't go to sleep until midnight, so naturally I couldn't get up this morning.

Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng had already sat down and were preparing to have breakfast.

Gong Yuanzheng asked in confusion, "Brother, hasn't sister-in-law gotten up yet?"

Gong Shangjiao thought of asking someone to go check, but the person was still asleep. He said with a hint of helplessness, "Hmm, she's not awake yet."

Gong Yuanzheng: "Were you too tired yesterday?"

Gong Shangjiao glanced at his expression and realized that his younger brother was still young, so he simply guessed: "He's probably just not used to being at the palace gate yet."

Gong Yuanzheng: "Then let's eat first."

Gong Shangjiao: "Okay."

Instruct the kitchen to keep food readily available so she can eat when she wakes up.

Gong Yuanzheng said with a hint of jealousy, "My brother is so good to my sister-in-law."

Gong Shangjiao placed a piece of food on his plate: "I'm good to Yuanzheng too, eat up."

Gong Yuanzheng was easy to coax and immediately beamed with joy.

When Shangguan Qian got up after the sun was high in the sky, she felt a little embarrassed, since she had just arrived at someone else's house and was already sleeping in.

However, remembering that Gong Shangjiao had told her to do as she pleased last night, the thick-skinned Shangguan Qian immediately comforted herself.

"Madam, you're up?" Peony asked from outside the door, hearing the noise.

Shangguan Qian: "Mm."

Peony: "This servant will have someone prepare the washing and toiletries."

After washing up, Shangguan Qian changed into the clothes that Gong Shangjiao had sent over.

I sat down at the table to eat my brunch, just to fill my stomach. I wasn't too hungry, since I inevitably snacked a lot while watching TV late into the night.

*

As dinner time approached, Gong Shangjiao arrived, and Shangguan Qian poured tea for him.

Shangguan Qian: "Why are you here?"

Gong Shangjiao: "I'd like to invite you to dinner. Yuanzheng hasn't met you yet."

Shangguan Qian: "Since it's our first meeting, I should prepare a gift for him."

Gong Shangjiao: "Yuanzheng won't care about these things."

Shangguan Qian: "Out of courtesy, it's still necessary." Then, she took out a small porcelain bottle from her space using her sleeve.

"I've heard that Young Master Zheng often studies poisons and herbs. I happen to have a Blood-Returning Pill. If someone is injured and bleeding heavily, taking it will immediately restore blood flow and stop the bleeding. It's suitable for him to study."

These were pills given by the Rain God System when I was playing a deity in the ancient world. Naturally, the effects of cultivation products are better than ordinary ones.

Hearing this, Gong Shangjiao couldn't refuse: "Then I'll thank you on behalf of my younger brother Yuanzheng."

Shangguan Qian: "You're too kind."

Dinner was served in the pavilion, which was brightly lit with lanterns.

The two of them came over and sat down. All the dishes were served before Gong Yuanzheng came over.

He first called out "Brother," then looked at Shangguan Qian with a curious expression: "Greetings, sister-in-law."

Although I felt a little sad and worried that my brother would stop liking me after marrying his wife, I also hoped that my brother could find someone he liked to marry.

Shangguan smiled slightly: "You must be Yuanzheng, right? This is a gift I prepared for you. Please accept it."

Gong Yuanzheng took the small porcelain bottle and asked, "Thank you, sister-in-law. What is this?"

Shangguan Qian: "The Blood-Returning Pill, as the name suggests, is for stopping bleeding. If you take it when you are injured, it will stop the bleeding and restore blood flow immediately."

Gong Yuanzheng became interested, opened the container, poured out the pills, and smelled them. Surprisingly, there were several medicinal herbs that he didn't even recognize.

"This blood-restoring pill is exquisitely crafted. I'll take it back and study it carefully." Gong Yuanzheng was quite pleased, as he had always been interested in these kinds of things.

Shangguan Qian: "Take it back and study it slowly."

Gong Yuanzheng: "We should be able to produce something with a similar effect, but the effect might not be as good as this one."

Shangguan Qian: "I'm giving it to you now, so you can handle it."

Gong Yuanzheng was also reluctant to study it all at once, and planned to cut off a small part for further study.

Seeing that they were getting along well, Gong Shangjiao smiled and said, "Let's have our meal first."

Gong Yuanzheng accepted the pills, sat down, and the three began to eat.

Seeing that her brother and sister-in-law were a good match, Gong Yuanzheng was happy for her brother.

Shangguan Qian lived in the palace for about a month until the day came for the palace to select a husband.

"Xiao Qi, who did Wu Feng send in this time?"

Shangguan Qian hugged Xiao Qi and stroked her fur. Xiao Qi lay comfortably on her body with her belly exposed.

"I'll check it out, host."

"Go!"

A moment later, Xiao Qi returned: "I'm back, host. This time there's a female lead, her adopted sister Yun Que, and that cannon fodder Zheng Nanyi. But there's also a Mei, who didn't appear in the previous plot."

Because Shangguan Qian had left Wufeng and dealt with Dianzhu in advance, there was no need to poison Dianzhu, and therefore Yun Que did not enter the palace to steal Baicao Cui.

Shangguan Qian: "They actually sent four people in this time."
