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

He had just had one of his concubines framed, and his child was fake, yet he still had the mood to sleep with women.

An Lingrong looked at the message from Ji Chao on her phone: "The Emperor isn't with you tonight?"

He seemed a little nervous when he asked that question.

An Lingrong smiled slightly and replied, "Yes."

Upon seeing the message, Ji Chao stared at it for a long time before replying, "You won't be discovered, will you?"

【Won't】

"That's good." Ji Chao breathed a sigh of relief, but a strange feeling lingered in his heart.

He casually picked up his teacup, took a sip, and looked at his phone. Upon seeing the message on it, Ji Chao choked: "Cough, cough cough."

An Lingrong: [You're saying we're openly cuckolding the Emperor?]

After calming himself down, Ji Chao replied, "We were just having a normal chat."

An Lingrong saw the message and smiled. [Haha, I was just kidding.]

Ji Chao seemed to sense her smiling beside him, and unconsciously, the corners of his mouth also curled up.

The two have been chatting every day lately and have gotten to know each other better.

An Lingrong told him that she had died suddenly and traveled through time.

Ji Chao also shared his story: he died of illness and discovered after death that he had transmigrated.

The two were destined to meet, and Ji Chao felt a strange sense of kinship with An Lingrong, who had also traveled from another time.

When we met, I thought she didn't talk much, but after chatting, I discovered that she had a bit of a quirky sense of humor and liked to tease people.

Thinking it over, he asked, "You're so favored now, are you going to become Empress Dowager later?"

"Yes, it's all or nothing. My current favor has become an eyesore for many. If I don't continue down this path, whoever becomes the Empress Dowager, I won't have a good life."

It's not actually that serious; she can still protect herself, but An Lingrong won't say it directly.

Ji Chao thought for a moment and replied, "I can help you if you need it."

This is a serious matter. Aren't you afraid of dying?

Ji Chao smiled when he saw the message. [Anyway, he's already died once.]

The original owner of this body had lost his mother long ago, and his father remarried but didn't care about him. He was neither loved by his father nor his mother.

The original owner had become frail and sickly in recent years, and was not yet married. His stepmother probably wished he were dead and would not care about him at all.

He died, so they could let his half-brother take over. Didn't they realize that official positions aren't something that can be easily obtained? It just shows how shallow and ignorant the original owner's family was.

If I hadn't come, the original owner might have died of illness not long after.

Now that he has been granted a marquisate thanks to his modern knowledge, their attitude has changed. Knowing what their purpose is, Ji Chao will definitely not let them succeed.

After hearing the information Xiao Qi had found out, An Lingrong understood Ji Chao's situation.

However, she still replied, "You went through so much to climb up here, you can't just die so easily."

[The reason I decided to climb up here was to see the capital, since the story revolves around the Yongzheng Emperor's harem.]

It's a pity you can't join the harem, otherwise you could be there to watch the drama unfold firsthand.

Haha, you can just relay it to me.

Okay, let's talk again next time.

Seeing that Fat Orange was about to finish, An Lingrong turned off her phone.

Ji Chao looked at his phone, wondering if she had gone to rest or if something had happened.

The thought that the Emperor was still with her suddenly made her not want to continue.

Not long after, the Emperor decided to return to the palace. This time, Zhen Huan's family members were all exiled, so naturally no one helped to capture Liu Ben.

Moreover, she was out of favor and wanted to see Shen Meizhuang, so she wrote a letter to the Shen family herself, but she still couldn't get a meeting.

For a moment, Zhen Huan felt even more desperate. She was out of favor and now she didn't even have Mei Jie's help.

However, she did not give up and tried various ways to win the emperor's favor after returning to the palace, but the results were only slightly better and she was far from being favored.

When an epidemic broke out in the palace, Consort Hua sent the teaware used by those who had contracted the epidemic to Xianyue Pavilion.

As a result, Shen Meizhuang contracted the plague and died before she could be treated. Out of respect for her family background, the Emperor allowed her to be buried as a Noble Lady.

An Lingrong found a royal physician to employ and also gave him a prescription for treating the epidemic. When the emperor found out, he was overjoyed and promoted her to the position of chief physician.

After some time, Consort Hua became even more arrogant because of Nian Gengyao's victory.

Recently, An Lingrong has found it troublesome and has temporarily avoided her sharp edge, but Consort Hua has become increasingly demanding and has been pressing her harder and harder.

Furthermore, the Emperor was increasingly dissatisfied with Nian Gengyao and had begun to make plans. Nian Gengyao had also become involved with Prince Dun, making it difficult for them to back down.

Chuxiu Palace

"Your Majesty, Consort Hua has been going too far lately. She treats you like an enemy whenever she sees you," Baojuan said worriedly.

Lanxin brought in a plate of pastries and placed it in front of An Lingrong. Upon hearing this, she said, "The Emperor likes our Consort, so what can she do? She can only be sharp-tongued."

"Let's not talk about that. Would Her Majesty be afraid of her?" Yuqing said.

An Lingrong sat on the soft couch, ignoring what the others were saying.

She took a bite of a pastry before glancing at Yunshang: "You can tell Nian Shilan now!"

"Yes, I'll take care of it right away," Yunshang said, and then walked out.

Let Nian Shilan know the truth, and see if she still has the mind to cause trouble for her master.

"Your Highness, do you have a way to deal with Consort Hua?"

As someone who entered the palace with An Lingrong, Yuqing had served her longer than Baojuan and Lanxin. In addition, since the Empress was easy to talk to, she dared to ask a question.

"You'll find out later," An Lingrong said slowly, seeing their curious looks.

Upon hearing this, they didn't dare to ask any more questions, as long as they knew that the Empress wouldn't suffer any loss.

An Lingrong sent them away and took out her phone to look at the messages from Ji Chao.

I arranged for people to stir things up; Nian Gengyao is already starting to suspect that the Emperor is dissatisfied with him.

An Lingrong replied, "Alright, once Nian Gengyao finds out what the Emperor did to her sister, he'll probably find it hard to tolerate."

【You are currently favored by the emperor, but you have also offended Consort Hua. She and Nian Gengyao have rebelled, and they will definitely not let you go. Be careful.】 Ji Chao was mainly worried about An Lingrong.

Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Just make sure your people aren't discovered.

[No, they won't be able to trace it back to me.] Ji Chao thought that the people he sent to handle the matter had no idea who their master was.

A few days later, news spread in the palace that Consort Hua was ill, and Yikun Palace was immediately closed to the public.

An Lingrong was watching the live broadcast from Yikun Palace in Chuxiu Palace. She could see that a few days ago, Consort Hua was heartbroken and cried every day, but then she cheered up and wrote a letter to Nian Gengyao.

After exchanging messages and analyzing the situation, the two siblings finally came to believe that the Emperor was not only heartless and ruthless, but also intended to take action against the Nian family.

At that moment, An Lingrong clearly saw that the reluctance in Consort Hua's eyes turned into hatred. After that, they discussed how to coordinate an inside-outside rebellion.

Seeing this, An Lingrong felt relieved. Although the Emperor had made preparations, it was always reasonable for an accident to happen, such as the Empress accidentally getting into trouble.

This time, Nian Gengyao and Consort Hua's characters are written out of the story much earlier than in the original plot.

One evening two weeks later, all the palaces closed their gates early.

At Chuxiu Palace, everyone simultaneously heard the sound of many guards walking around outside the gate, and for a moment everyone became a little nervous.
