Quick Transmigration: The Charismatic Woman Uses Her Stunning Beauty to Complete Missions

Consort Hui slowly closed her eyes, a look of despair flashing across her face. She knew that she had no way to refute the facts now.

After a moment of silence, Consort Hui finally spoke, "I did it." Her voice was so soft it was almost inaudible, but everyone present heard it clearly.

Consort Hui took a deep breath and continued, "These things were indeed ordered by me, and have nothing to do with anyone else. Please, Your Majesty, spare these servants." After saying this, Consort Hui knelt heavily on the ground, awaiting Xie Yanhuai's judgment.

Xie Yanhuai looked coldly at Consort Hui, a sneer appearing on his lips, his eyes filled with a sense of oppression.

"Since you have confessed to your crimes, there is no need for further torture." Xie Yanhuai's tone was icy cold, sending chills down one's spine.

"Guards!" Xie Yanhuai shouted, "Consort Hui attempted to murder me and the Imperial Concubine. Her actions were extremely heinous and her crimes were heinous. She is sentenced to death by slow slicing for treason, and her entire family will be exterminated. The elderly, women, children, and children under the age of twelve may be spared the death penalty and exiled to Lingnan."

As Xie Yanhuai finished speaking, the entire palace fell into a deathly silence. Everyone was so shocked by the sudden verdict that they were speechless.

Xie Yanhuai's gaze swept over everyone present, his expression serious and indifferent, as if warning everyone not to easily challenge his authority.

Lingchi (death by a thousand cuts)...execution...extermination of nine generations of family members...

Consort Hui had thought the most severe punishment would be being banished to the Cold Palace, but when she heard those words, she finally realized how frightening it was.

She instantly collapsed to the ground, staring at Xie Yanhuai in disbelief.

When the guards came forward, Consort Hui suddenly realized her mistake and kowtowed, begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Please have mercy! I was confused for a moment and made such a big mistake. This was all my doing. I am willing to die to atone for my sins. I only beg Your Majesty to spare my family."

Consort Hui's voice was filled with fear and despair. She kept kowtowing, and blood was seeping from her forehead.

However, Xie Yanhuai's expression remained indifferent, showing no emotion whatsoever. He coldly said, "Drag him away."

Two guards quickly stepped forward, grabbed Consort Hui, and tried to drag her out.

Consort Hui struggled desperately, her once exquisite hair now disheveled, her face filled with fear and anger.

She could no longer hold back and screamed, her voice shrill as she cursed, "Xie Yanhuai! You are a tyrant! My father was the prime minister of the current dynasty and a meritorious official of two dynasties. How can you so ruthlessly exterminate my family? Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the world?"

Xie Yanhuai, you are utterly unworthy of this throne! I await the day you suffer your retribution!

Everyone in the palace was too frightened to move, their heads bowed in fear, lest they be the next to suffer the consequences.

Shen Chumo frowned and said, "Wait."

The guards stopped, and everyone's eyes focused on Shen Chumo. Xie Yanhuai assumed that Shen Chumo was reluctant to plead for mercy.

Shen Chumo patted Xie Yanhuai's hand to reassure him.

Shen Chumo walked to the front of the palace, looked down at Consort Hui, and asked, "Consort Hui, you keep calling me a tyrant. I ask you, is it true that you plotted to harm me and the Emperor?"

Consort Hui raised her chin, her face full of stubbornness.

"Yes, I did it, and I'm willing to confess, but what does this have to do with my family?"

Shen Chumo stared intently at Consort Hui and said sternly, "According to the laws of this dynasty, anyone who plots treason or commits an act of rebellion shall be beheaded, regardless of whether they are the ringleader or an accomplice, if the plot has been carried out; if the plot has not yet been carried out, they shall be strangled. Your Majesty has dealt with this matter according to the law, without the slightest bias."

On the contrary, it is you, Consort Hui—no, Wang Hui—who, as a concubine in the harem, has no children to rely on, that plotting against me and the Emperor will bring you no benefit whatsoever.

If you weren't being instructed by someone behind you, how could you have been so bold?

You keep claiming the Wang family is innocent, but those medicinal powders you have were given to you by the Wang family. All medicines used in the palace are recorded; you didn't get the medicine from the palace.

The Wang family sends you clothes and jewelry every month. It's around this time that they send you messages and medicine powder to get you to take action.

"You're saying the Wang family is innocent now? How laughable!" Shen Chumo said sarcastically.

Consort Hui's eyes darted around in panic, and she tried to retort, "No, you have no evidence at all."

Shen Chumo sneered, "Evidence? Do you really think you've covered your tracks perfectly?"

The maid you sent to the Wang family to inform them has been detained. Rest assured, the Emperor and I will thoroughly investigate how your Wang family and those behind them plotted treason!

"And we will expose your crimes one by one and post them on the imperial edict, so that the whole world can see your ugly faces!" Shen Chumo announced loudly, so that all the palace servants could hear clearly.

“You…”

Consort Hui trembled for a long time but couldn't speak. It was impossible for her to be completely unaware of the Wang family's various schemes.

Consort Hui could only slump to the ground, tears streaming down her face. From this day forward, the century-old reputation of her royal family would be ruined.

Shen Chumo turned to face all the palace servants, her tone serious and solemn.

"Every family has its rules, and every country has its regulations. The Emperor is the ruler of the country. You should remember your identities and responsibilities and serve the Emperor and all your masters wholeheartedly."

The incident involving Consort Hui today serves as a stark example. You should all take this as a warning, be cautious in your words and actions, and lest you follow in Consort Hui's footsteps. Anyone who dares to defy palace rules or harbors ill intentions will be met with zero tolerance from me and the Emperor.

After a brief pause, a hint of compassion flickered in Shen Chumo's eyes. "But those who are loyal and diligent will be recognized by the Emperor and myself, and will be richly rewarded. You must understand that this palace is not a place where you can act recklessly; every word and action must be carefully considered."

Shen Chumo's words struck the hearts of every palace servant like a heavy hammer. They all bowed their heads and stood in solemn silence, their hearts filled with awe.

The inner palace has long been neglected and in disarray. Now, with the guidance of the Imperial Concubine, perhaps everything will change.

Shen Chumo walked back to Xie Yanhuai's side, curtsied, and said, "Your Majesty, it was I who acted on my own initiative. Please punish me."

Xie Yanhuai pulled Shen Chumo up, gazing at her quietly, his heart overflowing with endless tenderness and love.

"What crime has Mo Mo committed? Your actions today were for the stability of the harem and for the sake of the country. How could I punish you? On the contrary, I will reward you handsomely."

Xie Yanhuai issued a decree: "From today onwards, Consort Shen is granted the power to manage the six palaces. All matters concerning the harem shall be decided by the Consort."

Shen Chumo curtsied again, her expression solemn.

"Your Majesty, I will certainly live up to your expectations, devote myself wholeheartedly to managing the harem well, and share your burdens."

The palace servants bowed and knelt, chanting, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empress!" Their voices were clear and loud, echoing throughout the palace.

The shadow guards, who were hiding in the shadows, were moved to tears when they saw this scene. They were finally able to see the emperor living a normal life.

An Nuannuan knelt on the ground, looking at Shen Chumo with eyes full of admiration. "Your Highness is truly amazing. You are a role model for us women."

Seeing everyone's reactions, Shen Chumo felt a little gratified. This incident was not only a punishment for Consort Hui, but also a reorganization of the entire harem. She had no intention of becoming a tyrant's wicked concubine.

If she's going to do something, she'll be a wise empress who will be remembered throughout history. If she's even more ambitious, becoming an empress isn't out of the question. But considering how obedient Xie Yanhuai is, she'll refrain from competing with him for the position for now.

If Xie Yanhuai knew what Shen Chumo was thinking, he would definitely give her the throne without hesitation, since in Xie Yanhuai's heart, the throne was never something he truly desired.

He would be content as long as he could be with Shen Chumo.
