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

Therefore, Consort Hua had no way to deal with her, and the Empress was ill and had no time to deal with her.

She also wanted to find a suitable opportunity to bring down the Empress, so that the mission would be half completed.

Xiao Qi asked, "Aren't you afraid of something unexpected happening, host?"

An Lingrong shook her head and said, "I'm not afraid. At worst, we can just change Zhen Huan's face. Would Big Fatty Orange still think she's special then? It seems like we can do that right now!"

This method is quite underhanded, but An Lingrong was genuinely tempted. Wouldn't that solve the problem once and for all?

“Yes, host, that way she’ll be no different from everyone else,” Xiao Qi said.

So, after leaving the Hall of Mental Cultivation, An Lingrong immediately took Yuqing back, without bringing Yunshang today.

Upon arriving at Chuxiu Palace, she dismissed everyone else, leaving only Yunshang behind.

Everyone knows that Yunshang is the mistress's confidante. They've all gotten used to it and have been given mental suggestions, so they won't complain.

"Master, what are your orders?" Yunshang knew that her master had kept her here because he had something for her to do.

"Tonight, go and cast an illusion spell on Zhen Huan's face so that when the Emperor sees her, he'll think she's become ugly and doesn't resemble Chun Yuan anymore, but everyone else will see her the same," An Lingrong said.

Yunshang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take care of it tonight."

"Hmm." An Lingrong was already thinking that after completing the mission, she would fake her death and leave the palace.

As for the Empress, she has already come up with a way to deal with it, but it will take a while.

As long as Zhen Huan's appearance is ordinary in the Emperor's eyes and cannot surpass his own, the task can be completed quickly.

After Zhen Huan left, and her nameplate was hung up, the Emperor did indeed choose her that very night.

However, he only summoned her for one night, and the next day the emperor went to Chuxiu Palace again.

This puzzled those who knew her face, including the Queen.

"What did you say?" Yixiu was pale and thin, barely skin and bones, but she still managed to listen to Jianqiu talk about the news from Zhen Huan's side.

Seeing her appearance, Jianqiu was a little worried, but still said, "This servant said that the Emperor only summoned Consort Zhen for one night and did not seem to treat her in any special way. The next day, the Emperor went to Chuxiu Palace."

"How could that be? Her face looks eight-tenths like my sister's!" Yixiu really couldn't understand it.

Jianqiu was also puzzled and guessed, "Could it be that Consort Zhen has displeased the Emperor?"

Yixiu pondered. Even though she was ill, she was still worried about news from Zhen Huan. She couldn't put her mind at ease as long as it was related to her sister. She just didn't expect it to be like this.

She was both happy and worried. She was happy because she felt her sister was nothing special, but worried because she feared the emperor might change his mind and she would no longer be protected by her sister.

However, thinking of Chuxiu Palace, Yixiu also felt some resentment. Although she didn't have the energy to deal with An Lingrong.

However, she managed to evade Consort Hua's schemes, and the Emperor's favor towards her grew stronger. Despite having no children, she was granted the title of Consort, truly a sign of great favor.

She will not let that bitch An Lingrong get away with it. How dare she receive so much of the Emperor's favor?

Just as she was about to continue thinking about what to do, she felt her head start to hurt again, and she instinctively covered her head with her hand, her expression pained.

"Your Majesty, are you alright? I'll go and fetch the imperial physician right away." Jianqiu walked out worriedly.

Jingren Palace was in turmoil, and the Empress summoned the imperial physician again, prompting everyone to go and check on things.

On the way back, An Lingrong rode in a sedan chair and encountered the female lead who had already been chosen to serve the emperor. She was walking on the palace road with Shen Meizhuang.

The current Zhen Huan is vastly different from the Consort Wan, who is now a highly favored concubine in the drama.

The two men bowed respectfully upon seeing An Lingrong.

"This concubine greets Consort Yu. May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings and peace."

"Get up. Consort Shen and Consort Zhen may walk slowly. I will take my leave first."

The sedan chair passed in front of them, followed by a retinue of people, a grand procession of favored concubines.

After everyone left, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang looked up at the direction An Lingrong had gone.

Shen Meizhuang couldn't help but sigh and said, "Back then, we entered the palace together with Consort Yu. Now she has been promoted to the rank of Consort and is favored by the Emperor."

She didn't say the rest, but both of them thought about their own situations.

Although she had the power to assist in managing the six palaces and was somewhat favored, she was nothing compared to Consort Yu.

She was just a concubine when she first entered the palace, but now she has been demoted to a lower rank and is only a concubine. The emperor doesn't like her either, and she has been confined to her quarters for half a month before she could serve the emperor once.

Feeling resentful, Zhen Huan wanted to go back to rest and said, "Let's go, Sister Mei. The Emperor doesn't like me, and there's really nothing I can do. I'm just worried about my family."

“Huan’er, speaking of this, I’m a little puzzled. With your looks and talent, the Emperor shouldn’t treat you like this,” Shen Meizhuang said, genuinely puzzled.

Zhen Huan lowered her eyes: "Perhaps, the Emperor is taking his anger out on me because of my family."

She never imagined that it was because the emperor considered her appearance to be ordinary.

“The Emperor will see you, Huan’er, one day,” Shen Meizhuang sighed, trying to comfort her.

When Zhen Huan thought back to when she first entered the palace, she was confident and even believed that with her talent and looks, she would be favored sooner or later.

Even when she saw An Lingrong, the most beautiful woman among the imperial concubines, she thought that those who rely on their beauty to serve others could only enjoy such a short time, and that she herself was different.

But after the Emperor chose her that day, she waited for him in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. When their eyes met, she clearly saw a flash of disappointment in the Emperor's eyes.

At the time, she didn't understand and felt a little flustered. The emperor's perfunctory behavior afterwards made her heart sink to the bottom.

Sure enough, the next day the Emperor went to Chuxiu Palace and never chose her again. Zhen Huan felt that all her self-confidence had been shattered.

She couldn't understand why she was acting this way, and could only comfort herself by thinking that the Emperor was just temporarily taking his anger out on her because of her family.

The only person in the know, An Lingrong, has been in a good mood lately, so it seems there's little hope for the female lead.

The Empress's health is deteriorating, but such revenge is unacceptable; Yixiu cannot die now.

So when An Lingrong went to Jingren Palace, she was keeping the Empress alive.

In the following months, Consort Yu of Chuxiu Palace remained the most favored.

There was nothing anyone else could do but envy and resent. The only good news was that despite being so favored, Consort Yu had never gotten pregnant.

That day, Yinzhen came to Chuxiu Palace to see An Lingrong. After the two finished their meal, he suddenly said, "Rong'er, I plan to go to Yuanmingyuan to escape the summer heat this year."

"Will Your Majesty take me with you?" An Lingrong asked knowingly.

Yinzhen laughed: "I will take Rong'er with me, no matter who else I take."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Then I shall begin preparations." An Lingrong said with a smile.

Yinzhen stared at her intently, thinking to himself that Rong'er was indeed the most beautiful woman in the harem.

"Yes, I'll find you a good place to stay then."
