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

With little effort, she found evidence that Hailan had killed the Second Prince, and then immediately contacted the Fucha family and reported it to the Emperor.

By the time the imperial harem received the news, Hailan had already been deposed and confined to the cold palace.

Yongqi was entrusted to Ruyi's care, which deepened Hongli's suspicions about Ruyi. Last time, it was Hailan who misled the Third Prince for Ruyi's sake.

With so many concubines in the palace suddenly in trouble, no one dared to move around freely.

Hongli has been seeing Wei Yanwan the most recently, and she has been successfully promoted to the rank of concubine.

At the promotion ceremony, Ruyi watched as Hailan, who was on her side, was sent to the Cold Palace, while Wei Yanwan rose rapidly to the rank of Consort. Her feelings were indescribably complicated.

The Yongshou Palace was bustling with activity. Wei Yanwan sat on the couch, reading a book.

"Xiao Qi, I've made up my mind. We need to speed things up. Staying in the palace is no fun."

"What does the host intend to do?"

"Does the system's marketplace have any drugs that can unknowingly hasten death?"

"Yes, there is one called 'Dream Without Trace.' It accelerates death through sleep every day. You can't feel it normally, but it slowly depletes your vital energy. By the time you notice you starting to weaken, it's too late."

"How many points?"

"One bottle costs 150 points and contains ten pills. Just crush them and sprinkle them on the person. They are transparent, colorless, and odorless."

"It's quite a good deal, I'll buy one bottle."

"Good host."

A moment later, Wei Yanwan had a small porcelain bottle in her hand.

She opened it and took a look. Inside were indeed transparent pills, about the same size as the preservative, and they smelled colorless and odorless.

"Host, who do you intend to use it for?"

"Give it to the Empress Dowager first!"

"Does the host want me to help you put the drug in?"

"Sure, if I come by myself, I can only go once in the evening."

"Then I'll help the host."

"Okay." Wei Yanwan gave the medicine to it, watching as a ball of light, invisible to others, disappeared before her eyes.

She looked away, thinking about her plan. Once she became Empress Dowager, she would be able to leave after completing her mission.

She needs to be promoted to at least the rank of Imperial Concubine. She has no children and has to rely entirely on herself, so it might be a bit slow. Therefore, we need to find a way.

"Host, all done. The Empress Dowager has at most six months left!" Xiao Qi returned and said.

"it is good."

In the afternoon, Wei Yanwan had lunch and then took a nap.

Then Chunlan walked in: "My lady, Eunuch Jinzhong requests an audience."

"Bring him in!"

"Yes."

Jinzhong walked in, and Wei Yanwan had someone bring him a stool.

"Eunuch Jinzhong, what brings you to see me today?"

"This servant is here to congratulate Your Highness on your promotion to Consort Ling so quickly."

Wei Yanwan smiled casually: "Then thank you very much, Eunuch Jinzhong, for making a special trip to congratulate me."

Jinzhong smirked: "Has Your Majesty done anything for me recently?"

She hasn't contacted him since she entrusted him with the matter of Consort Yu.

Upon hearing this, Wei Yanwan raised an eyebrow. This guy was just bored and didn't want to do anything, so he was unhappy about not being allowed to work.

"Nothing much has happened lately. If I need your help, Your Majesty, I will have someone notify you immediately."

"In that case, this servant will await Your Majesty's news."

"Alright, would you like a cup of tea before you leave, Father-in-law?" Wei Yanwan said casually, just to be polite.

Unexpectedly, the man actually nodded: "Then thank you very much, Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this, Chunyu went to prepare tea. When the tea was served, Jinzhong took a sip and said, "Although this servant doesn't know much about tea, I imagine the tea in Your Majesty's palace must be quite good."

Wei Yanwan straightened up, stretched her neck which was a little sore from reading, and casually said, "The tea here is definitely not as good as the Emperor's."

Jinzhong ignored her words, watched her actions, and said with a smile, "Does Your Highness have a sore neck? This servant has specially learned some massage techniques before. Would you like me to give you a massage?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Yanwan glanced at him, then smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll trouble Eunuch Jinzhong to give me a massage!"

"It's no trouble at all. It's my honor to serve Your Highness," Jinzhong said with a smile, then walked behind her.

He placed his hands on her shoulders and neck, looked at her fair skin, paused slightly, and then continued to focus on massaging her.

Wei Yanwan closed her eyes, feeling his strength. His technique was indeed quite good; it seemed that the people in the imperial court were indeed quite skilled.

After a while, Wei Yanwan, who had almost fallen asleep from being pressed down, finally came to her senses and said, "Okay, that's enough for now!"

Jinzhong withdrew his hand and rubbed his fingers together: "How is Your Majesty feeling?"

"Your technique is excellent. After the massage, I did feel much more relaxed."

"I'm glad Your Majesty is satisfied. If you don't mind, this servant is willing to serve you forever." Jinzhong's eyes held a deeper meaning.

Wei Yanwan glanced at him and said with a smile, "You're so thoughtful!"

"Your Majesty's happiness is the most important thing. It's almost time, so this servant should take his leave."

He's been here quite a while today, and if he doesn't leave soon, he won't find a suitable reason to go.

Jinzhong himself was also puzzled. He had come here under the pretext of congratulating Consort Ling, just to say a few more words.

"Alright, you can go back now!" Wei Yanwan waved her hand.

Jinzhong walked outside the palace, looked back one last time, and then left.

After everyone left, she lazily nestled on the tatami mat, watching the TV series that Xiao Qi had put on for her in mid-air.

To onlookers, she just seemed to be spacing out.

"Host, what does Jinzhong mean? Is he just looking for a mission because he has nothing better to do?"

Wei Yanwan shook her head: "I don't know, maybe."

“Host, I don’t believe you can’t tell whether he’s attracted to you or not?” Xiao Qi said with a smile.

"It's possible, but he doesn't say, and I don't think about it."

"Host, are you worried that he might be a eunuch? It's alright, the system store has medicine to restore him, and it's not expensive."

"Haha, so you can't stand seeing me alone now, huh?"

"I just think the host is too bored by himself."

"It's alright. I'm quite comfortable every day. I've lived through so many worlds and never suffered any mistreatment."

"That's true, then you can think about it yourself, host."

"Well, let things take their course. I want to finish the task before thinking about anything else."

Unfortunately, sometimes plans don't keep up with changes.

"Then accept it calmly and prioritize comfort."

"As long as the host is happy."

Ruyi was still granted the title of Imperial Noble Consort, after all, she still had a relationship with the Emperor.

Wei Yanwan was also present at her investiture ceremony. After the ceremony, everyone sat down in the hall.

Hearing their congratulations, Wei Yanwan also chimed in with a few words.

Ruyi smiled and said, "Master Anji will come to the palace to pray for blessings in a while. Everyone, please join me in praying for the Qing Dynasty."

"Yes, Royal Concubine."

Looking at Ruyi's smiling face, Wei Yanwan thought to herself that Ruyi wouldn't be able to smile anymore.

Although Jin Yuyan was not present, the Emperor's suspicious nature inevitably led to some estrangement between the two.
