Quick transmigration to punish scumbags, have a child to inherit everything from them

The next morning, a carriage carrying the three slowly left the palace.

However, Consort Jiang and the others only knew that the Emperor had taken Liang Qiuli out of the palace to Baiyuan Temple, and they were furious.

Even Jiang Shuning, who left the palace with her, felt extremely resentful when she saw Liang Qiuli, dressed in an elegant and simple outfit, getting into the carriage with her.

Why!

Today was supposed to be just her and the Emperor going to Baiyuan Temple to pray for blessings, what's the point of bringing Liang Qiuli along!

"Ning'er, I had Xiao Fuzi prepare all your favorite foods."

After seeing Jiang Shuning get into the car, Chu Tianling didn't even glance at Liang Qiuli behind her.

He casually handed a plate of delicate pastries to Jiang Shuning's lips, looking at her with a doting smile.

Jiang Shuning looked at the emperor who only had eyes for her and breathed a slight sigh of relief. It seemed that what the emperor said was true. He had no feelings for Liang Qiuli and was just using her as a shield.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Liang Qiuli with a smug look on her face, a triumphant smile playing on her lips.

Liang Qiuli seemed to have noticed, and explained urgently in her tone.

"Sister, please don't misunderstand. I was just covering for you. His Majesty has no special feelings for me. Please don't misunderstand."

Liang Qiuli's explanation successfully caught Chu Tianling's attention, and he turned his gaze to her.

She wasn't wearing palace attire today, but rather plain, commoner's clothes. Yet, it was this simple outfit that made her appear even more elegant and refined.

Chu Tianling found himself unconsciously drawn to her again.

Jiang Shuning was very close to Chu Tianling, so she naturally noticed the strange look Chu Tianling was giving Liang Qiuli. She felt uneasy, afraid that Chu Tianling would be seduced by Liang Qiuli's beauty.

She hatched a plan: if Liang Qiuli's face was ruined, Chu Tianling wouldn't be distracted by Liang Qiuli. She would feel more at ease using such a shield.

After thinking it through, Jiang Shuning quickly adjusted her emotions, a smile appeared on her lips, and she turned to Chu Tianling, her voice gentle.

"Although Sister Liang is my shield, she is indeed the Emperor's Consort. How could I possibly allow her to call me 'younger sister'? It would be too much of an honor for me."

Jiang Shuning deliberately emphasized the words "shield" not only to remind Liang Qiuli not to have any improper thoughts, but also to remind Chu Tianling that Liang Qiuli was just a tool he used to protect her.

Upon hearing this, Chu Tianling raised an eyebrow slightly and said.

“Ning’er is my beloved, and she will be my empress in the future. Naturally, she deserves to be called ‘elder sister’.”

"As long as you, Consort Liang, behave yourself, once I have fully consolidated my power and made Ning'er Empress, I will certainly not mistreat you."

Chu Tianling's words reassured Jiang Shuning, while also warning Liang Qiuli not to covet anything that didn't belong to her.

Upon hearing this, Liang Qiuli's face showed a hint of sadness at first, but she quickly concealed it and lowered her head.

"Your Majesty is right, I will certainly keep that in mind."

But in his heart he was thinking, "This dog emperor can't even sit on his throne properly, yet he's still spouting nonsense. Doesn't he fear that his words will slip up in the wind?"

Chu Tianling should have been happy to see Liang Qiuli agree so obediently, but he felt a strange sense of irritation.

He always felt that Liang Qiuli's attitude was too indifferent. Did she really love him? Seeing how much he doted on Ning'er, didn't she feel even a little jealous?

Men are just like that; they always care the most about what they can't have and can't forget it the most.

Therefore, Liang Qiuli ignored Chu Tianling and Jiang Shuning and sat quietly in the corner of the carriage, leaving the rest to Chu Tianling's imagination.

Indeed, Chu Tianling saw her reaction and realized she was heartbroken, but he didn't show it so as not to put him in a difficult position.

A pang of guilt suddenly welled up in Chu Tianling's heart.

However, it was quickly interrupted by Jiang Shuning's gentle words.

Throughout the journey, Jiang Shuning tried her best to attract Chu Tianling's attention. She would sometimes giggle and sometimes act coquettishly, as if there were only the two of them in the carriage.

Half an hour later, the carriage slowly came to a stop at the entrance of Baiyuan Temple.

"Ning'er, we've arrived."

Chu Tianling got off the carriage first, then turned to Jiang Shuning in the carriage and gestured for her to get off.

Jiang Shuning glanced casually into the carriage, then gently took Chu Tianling's hand and slowly got off the carriage.

"Brother Tianling, let's go in quickly, don't keep the host waiting."

As soon as Jiang Shuning's feet touched the ground, she reached out and hooked her arm around Chu Tianling's, as if she had forgotten that there were still people in the carriage, and pulled them toward the temple.

Today was meant to be spent with Jiang Shuning, so Chu Tianling naturally wouldn't go against her wishes. The two walked side by side, completely forgetting Liang Qiuli's existence.

……

Liang Qiuli saw a man dressed in a black brocade robe riding a white horse, followed by several people, galloping from a distance and stopping at the temple gate.

The leading man was tall and imposing, his back straight as a pine tree as he rode on his horse. His exceptionally handsome face made Liang Qiuli's eyes light up; he was her dream man.

If there's a chance...

The man seemed to notice Liang Qiuli's intense gaze and glanced coldly in her direction. Liang Qiuli's heart tightened, and she quickly lowered the curtain and looked away.

"Your Highness, is something amiss?"

Xuanfeng, standing behind Chu Xuanming, immediately noticed his master's unusual behavior and, fearing there might be an assassin, quickly asked in a low voice.

"It's alright, there won't be any assassins today, but my good nephew is also at Baiyuan Temple today."

Chu Xuanming's lips curled into a playful smile. He hadn't seen who had been spying on him, but he was certain that the carriage belonged to Chu Tianling.

"What? Your Highness, we should avoid you. If the Emperor sees you, he might overthink things."

Xuanfeng knew that the prince had come today to seek the abbot of Baiyuan Temple for peace of mind. If Chu Tianling were to see him at this time, the emperor would likely become suspicious for no reason, which was really unnecessary.

"Okay, let's go through the back door."

Although Chu Xuanming wasn't afraid of Chu Tianling, he didn't want to clash with him in a place like Baiyuan Temple, after all, it was a Buddhist sanctuary, and besides...

Liang Qiuli watched the person come and go in a hurry, feeling a pang of regret. She hadn't even had a chance to properly appreciate that face before missing out.

I don't know when we'll meet again.

However, once she has dealt with those people in the harem and Chu Tianling, and has power in her hands, if that person is still a respectable man, she will definitely bring him into the palace and admire him every day.

Only after everyone had gone far away did Liang Qiuli lift the curtain and get off the carriage herself. By then, Chu Tianling and Jiang Shuning were long gone.

However, this suited Liang Qiuli's wishes perfectly, as she didn't want to wear a mask and act all the time.

"Young monk, is there anything interesting about your temple?"

After entering, Liang Qiuli casually looked around and found it uninteresting. When she saw a young monk in a monk's robe, she quickly grabbed him.

"Replying to the benefactor, there is a thousand-year-old banyan tree in the backyard. Many pilgrims like to go there to pray for blessings, so many red ribbons are hung there, making it a unique place in our temple."

The young monk looked at the simply dressed but extraordinary benefactor and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Liang Qiuli looked in the direction the little monk pointed. She wasn't interested in praying for blessings, but she was sure Chu Tianling and Jiang Shuning would be there later, and she wanted to go and annoy them.

So she nodded, which was her way of responding to the little monk.

……

"Master, do you think my request can be granted?"

After Jiang Shuning finished asking her question, Chu Tianling also asked, since that matter was too important to him.

The host closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, seemingly weighing something in his mind, before slowly opening his eyes and nodding to Chu Tianling.

"We must not be impatient about this matter, otherwise it may backfire."

The host knew that some things might be fate, but he still wanted to do his best to fight for more opportunities for the people of Great Chu.

But after seeing the host nod, Chu Tianling got carried away. All he could think about was defeating the Regent, successfully conquering the north, and then securing the throne. He completely ignored the host's subsequent admonitions.

"Thank you, Master!"

After saying that, he happily pulled Jiang Shuning and prepared to leave.

Watching his retreating figure, the person in the residence sighed softly. It seemed...

"Minhang, go and call the other benefactor in."

The abbot spoke to his disciple Minxing, who was somewhat taken aback. Wasn't the abbot only meeting with these two people today? Could there be others coming?

However, Minhang believed the words of the abbot without a doubt and immediately turned around and went out to look for the person.

……

After walking a long distance from the room where the host was located, Chu Tianling gradually calmed down. He then looked around and suddenly remembered something.

"Brother Tianling, what are you looking for?"

Jiang Shuning had a bad feeling. Could it be that Chu Tianling had remembered Liang Qiuli and was now looking for her?

She quickly tried to divert Chu Tianling's attention.

“I just heard from the young monk that there is a wishing tree in Baiyuan Temple that is very effective in praying for marriage. Why don’t we go and take a look?”

Chu Tianling felt he should go back, so he was indeed looking for Liang Qiuli, but Jiang Shuning's interruption turned his attention to her.

"Okay, if Ning'er wants to go, then let's go."

Jiang Shuning secretly breathed a sigh of relief where Chu Tianling couldn't see her. It seemed that compared to Liang Qiuli, she still held a more important place in Chu Tianling's heart.

……

As soon as Liang Qiuli entered the backyard, the first thing she saw was not the banyan tree covered with red silk, but a man standing to the side in a black brocade robe.

It's that person from before!

Liang Qiuli's previously listless expression immediately turned excited.

I thought he was gone and I didn't know when I would see him again, but I didn't expect him to still be here.

It seems that the person just entered the temple by a different route.

Why is this?

Liang Qiuli subconsciously began to analyze.

Is it...

"who!"

Before Liang Qiuli could figure anything out, Chu Xuanming noticed someone staring at him with intense gaze and immediately turned around alertly.

A pair of sharp eyes stared straight at Liang Qiuli, but the moment they saw her again, the murderous aura suddenly vanished for some reason.

"I meant no harm, it's just that I couldn't help but glance at you a few more times because you are so handsome."

Liang Qiuli wasn't embarrassed when she was caught peeking. Instead, she smiled calmly, and when she saw the face clearly, her clear eyes even sparkled with admiration.

Who doesn't love a handsome man?

Among the princes and nobles of the Great Chu, Chu Xuanming's appearance was second to none, so even if Chu Xuanming was usually unhappy and had a dark expression, there were still many people who secretly looked at him.

However, Liang Qiuli is the first person to express her liking for his appearance so openly.

For some reason, Chu Xuanming didn't dislike Liang Qiuli; in fact, in his eyes, Liang Qiuli's face was even more striking than his own.

However, he didn't show it, maintaining his aloof demeanor, glancing at Liang Qiuli indifferently before looking away.

However, out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but notice Liang Qiuli.

I want to see what she does next.

However, he was going to be disappointed. Liang Qiuli didn't seem to have any intention of getting to know him any further; her gaze had already turned to the large banyan tree to the side.

It wasn't that Liang Qiuli didn't want to continue talking to Chu Xuanming.

Firstly, Chu Tianling and Jiang Shuning could arrive at any moment; secondly, she recognized Chu Xuanming's identity as Chu Tianling's mortal enemy and the current regent.

This identity forced her to be cautious.

However, this Chu Xuanming seems to be quite different from the rumored regent. It seems that not only is she interested in his face, but he also treats her differently.

If she could cooperate with Chu Xuanming, dealing with Chu Tianling would be much easier.

Seeing that Liang Qiuli hadn't made any further moves, Chu Xuanming wanted to take the initiative to start a conversation, since she didn't even know who he was, or whether he was married.

Are they married or not?

Chu Xuanming caught a glimpse of Liang Qiuli's hairstyle out of the corner of his eye. It was the hairstyle of a married woman. His heart tightened. Could it be that she was already married?

However, before he could ask any questions, a young monk hurriedly came over.

"Esteemed benefactor, are you here today to see the abbot? The abbot invites you in."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xuanming, who had just taken a step, suddenly stopped, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.

As Liang Qiuli watched Chu Xuanming leave with her young master, a thought arose in her mind: she wondered if he was willing to get involved.

She could test the waters next time they met.

"So you're here, Sister Liang! My husband and I have been looking for you for ages."

As Chu Xuanming's figure disappeared around the corner, whether by luck or coincidence, Jiang Shuning's clearly malicious voice suddenly rang out from the other side.

Hearing Jiang Shuning's words, Chu Tianling, who was standing next to her, also frowned slightly. It was indeed because Liang Qiuli was being unreasonable. If it weren't for Ning'er's suggestion to come here to pray for blessings, he would probably have sent people to search aimlessly.

"Stay close next time and don't wander off."

Chu Tianling said in a very unfriendly tone, clearly dissatisfied with Liang Qiuli's behavior.

Liang Qiuli silently rolled her eyes.

You two were so lovey-dovey that you left without paying any attention to her, and now you're blaming her for being inconsiderate.

However, this was just a thought in her mind. On the surface, Liang Qiuli pursed her lips and did not immediately refute anything, but simply nodded slightly.
