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

"I just... I just thought that since you and my sister have finally come out, I didn't want to disturb you, so I... that's why I left alone. I didn't expect to make you and my sister worry. It's my fault."

Hearing Liang Qiuli's concern for him and Ning'er, Chu Tianling's slightly furrowed brows relaxed.

But the discomfort in his heart did not disappear; instead, it was replaced by a mix of emotions that he couldn't quite explain.

Jiang Shuning wasn't going to buy Liang Qiuli's act. Why was Chu Tianling not showing off but instead acting innocent?

She was about to say something to expose Liang Qiuli's true colors when she noticed Chu Tianling's expression change beside her, and she immediately suppressed her impulse.

Fortunately, I didn't act impulsively, otherwise I might have really annoyed Chu Tianling.

“You’re so kind, little sister. It was my oversight. Since we’re already here, let’s hang up the red ribbons together and pray for blessings.”

Jiang Shuning smiled gently, stepped forward and took Liang Qiuli's arm, as if the two were truly good sisters.

But where no one could see, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Liang Qiuli, we'll see. The Emperor only has me in his heart now, and he will only have me in the future.

As for you or all of you, you will only ever be stepping stones for me.

"Alright, I'm glad that you and my brother don't blame me."

The moment Jiang Shuning's hand touched Liang Qiuli's sleeve, Liang Qiuli sensed something was wrong, but she didn't immediately show any abnormality.

She simply nodded slightly, looking obedient, her eyes darting between Jiang Shuning and Chu Tianling, as if genuinely worried that either of them might be unhappy.

Seeing the two getting along so well, Chu Tianling felt a surge of satisfaction.

He only had eyes for Ning'er, but he was the emperor, and he couldn't have only Ning'er in his heart forever. If Liang Qiuli could gradually make Ning'er accept him, he wouldn't necessarily let her be his first favored concubine.

However, it is too early to say.

He thought that his first child should be born to Ning'er.

With the current unstable situation in the previous dynasty, he fears he might not be able to protect Ning'er if she becomes pregnant.

"Oh, where did this stray cat come from!"

Just as Chu Tianling was lost in thought, a wild cat suddenly appeared out of nowhere and darted toward where the three of them were.

Jiang Shuning looked terrified by the sudden commotion, quickly letting go of Liang Qiuli's arm and hiding behind Chu Tianling.

Seeing the cat's frenzied appearance, Liang Qiuli instantly understood that Jiang Shuning must have tampered with her sleeve, causing the cat to charge at them like a madman.

Since things have come to this, she did not choose to back down, but instead stood in front of Chu Tianling to protect him.

"hiss!"

Before Chu Tianling could react, he saw the slender and frail Liang Qiuli rush in front of him in one stride. The wild cat's claws were so sharp that they tore her sleeve.

A trickle of blood seeped from Liang Qiuli's arm, staining her originally plain sleeves red.

A hint of surprise flashed in Chu Tianling's eyes. He hadn't expected Liang Qiuli to love him so much that she would disregard her own safety to protect him even in the face of danger.

"Beasts!"

Just as the stray cat was about to pounce on Liang Qiuli's face, Chu Tianling suddenly reached out and grabbed it by the back of its neck, forcefully throwing it against the wall in the distance.

"Meow……"

The wildcat let out a scream, realizing this man was not someone to be trifled with, and with great difficulty got to its feet and quickly fled.

"Thank you, sir."

When Chu Tianling turned to look at Liang Qiuli, her eyes, besides glistening with tears, held even more admiration and gratitude for him, making Chu Tianling's heart itch with envy.

Although he is now the emperor, he still faces pressure from the regent and the Grand Tutor and Minister Jiang in the court.

In the imperial harem, noble ladies like Consort Jiang and Consort Yang only valued his status as emperor. If he hadn't used special means to rise to power, these women probably wouldn't have given him a second glance.

He rarely saw such an admiring look in Liang Qiuli's eyes, which filled him with an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

Just as Chu Tianling was enjoying himself, Liang Qiuli's face suddenly turned ugly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, but she bit her lip and remained silent.

Upon seeing this, Chu Tianling's heart tightened. Could it be that the wild cat was carrying something unclean? He quickly asked.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"My foot hurts a lot. I think I twisted it because I ran too fast."

Ignoring her bleeding arm, Liang Qiuli tried to squat down to check her ankle, but her brows were furrowed, indicating that she was in considerable pain.

"do not move."

Chu Tianling didn't check Liang Qiuli's injuries directly, but instead picked her up and carried her in his arms.

"Don't touch her!"

Jiang Shuning was somewhat displeased to see that Liang Qiuli had only injured her arm and hadn't ruined her face. She was even more displeased to see Chu Tianling enjoying Liang Qiuli's heroic act of saving the day.

However, she told herself to hold back and not let it happen at this moment.

But when she saw that Chu Tianling didn't care at all whether she was frightened or not, and instead picked Liang Qiuli up in his arms with a worried look on his face, she finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Liang Qiuli, you shameless hussy! You act all high and mighty in front of everyone else in the harem, but you fawn over the Emperor. You have no shame!"

"You still want the Emperor to hold you now? Next time you'll be climbing straight onto the Emperor's bed!"

"presumptuous!"

Chu Tianling was currently filled with heartache for Liang Qiuli, so he was naturally unhappy with Jiang Shuning's words.

Regardless of whether Jiang Shuning was willing or not, he picked up Liang Qiuli directly, and even looked at Jiang Shuning with unprecedented impatience, and said in a deep voice.

"Ning'er, stop making a fuss. I just don't understand why Li'er acts like that in the harem. Isn't it all to shield you? How can you be so inconsiderate of her!"

Besides, she was appointed a Consort by me. She was injured while saving me, and I took her to see a doctor. Do I need to report to you?

Chu Tianling's biggest annoyance was being controlled by others. In the previous dynasty, he was controlled by the regent. He originally thought that Ning'er in the harem would understand him best, but he didn't expect that Ning'er had also changed.

"Your Majesty... I only..."

Jiang Shuning panicked. In the past, no matter how much she made a fuss, Chu Tianling would patiently coax her. When had he ever shown her such an impatient expression?

She wanted to explain, but before she could think of what to say, Liang Qiuli's weak voice rang in her ears.

"Your Majesty, I am fine and can walk on my own. There is no need to hurt your relationship with my sister because of me."

After saying that, she tried to struggle to get up from Chu Tianling's embrace, appearing considerate and obedient, as if she didn't want to make things difficult for Chu Tianling.

Looking at Liang Qiuli's pale face in his arms, and seeing her still trying to consider his feelings, Chu Tianling's eyes revealed a tenderness he himself hadn't even realized.

"Don't be stubborn. I'll take you to the backyard and have a doctor from the temple examine you first, then I'll take you back to the palace."

After saying that, he ignored Jiang Shuning, who was still standing there, and carried Liang Qiuli to the back room.

Liang Qiuli glanced at Jiang Shuning, who was left standing there, glaring at her with eyes full of anger.

A hint of amusement crept into her heart; Jiang Shuning must be experiencing firsthand the bitter taste of hoisting a stone only to drop it on her own foot.

This was the first time Chu Tianling had ever carried a woman for such a long distance, and surprisingly, he found it quite easy.

The sweet fragrance emanating from Liang Qiuli made him feel excited and full of energy.

if……

As soon as he thought about it, Chu Tianling remembered the promise he had made to Ning'er.

"Ning'er, Liang Qiuli is just a shield for you. I love you the most, and the future Empress will definitely be yours."

He paused involuntarily, wanting to turn around and look for Jiang Shuning, but when he looked down and saw Liang Qiuli's increasingly pale face, Chu Tianling's hesitation was instantly replaced by guilt.

Let's have someone treat Liang Qiuli's injuries first.

He believed that Ning'er had just spoken without thinking, and once she calmed down, she would realize her mistake. He was confident that he could comfort her and make her feel better.

……

"How about hosting?"

Chu Xuanming watched as the abbot frowned and began to ponder after he had just stated his request. Chu Xuanming felt uneasy. Could it be that there was really no hope?

The host looked at Chu Xuanming, who, despite his excellent destiny and noble birth, showed signs of premature aging, and sighed inwardly.

I'm thinking about what I can do to help him resolve this.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, and the window and door were suddenly opened. The abbot's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.

"Benefactor, you are destined to age prematurely and your life will be full of hardships. But there is always a way out. Your destined person has appeared and may be able to bring you a glimmer of hope."

The abbot was also puzzled as to why this was so, but his years of practice had taught him that everything in the world has its cause and effect, and there was no need to delve into it.

"The one with destiny?"

For some reason, Chu Xuanming's mind flashed back to the image of the girl from earlier; after all, just one glance at her had made his heart flutter.

A slight stirring ran through him, but he also felt a touch of doubt.

"Master, do you have any specific characteristics or opportunities to meet the destined person you speak of?"

"Far away yet right before my eyes."

The abbot smiled mysteriously, revealing little, only leaving behind this profound statement: "Perhaps the one you long for is the one with whom you are destined."

Chu Xuanming wanted to ask more questions, but was suddenly interrupted by a clap of thunder outside.

Thunder roared, and the sky instantly darkened, covered with thick clouds.

"Abbot, it's raining heavily."

Minhang rushed in, his face showing some anxiety.

"It's alright, the rain will stop in a few hours."

If the donor is not in a hurry to go down the mountain, they can rest in the meditation room in the back courtyard for a while and leave after the rain stops.

The abbot spoke calmly, without a trace of panic on his face, as if he had known all along that such rain would come today.

After saying that, he ignored Chu Xuanming and walked towards his own meditation room.

Chu Xuanming glanced at the torrential rain outside, then thought of what the abbot had just said, and nodded.

"Please lead the way, young master."

Minhang nodded, quickly turned around, and led Chu Xuanming towards the meditation room in the backyard.

"The scratches on my arm have been treated with medicine, and I only need to change the dressing every two days. As for the sprained ankle, I can apply heat twice a day, along with medication, and it should recover in a few days."

The young monk who treated Liang Qiuli's injuries gave her some advice, but judging from her and the other person's worried clothes, he figured he wouldn't need to remind her much; someone would naturally take good care of her.

"Thank you, young master."

Liang Qiuli's face regained much of its color, and she thanked him.

"Little Fuzi, please see this young master out."

Chu Tianling sat not far away, watching as the matter was resolved, and then spoke to Xiao Fuzi beside him.

Clearly, he had something to say to Liang Qiuli alone.

After he put Liang Qiuli down on the couch, he kept an eye on whether Jiang Shuning had followed.

Thankfully, they came.

After watching Chu Tianling leave with Liang Qiuli in his arms, Jiang Shuning's mind cleared up considerably. Realizing she had acted impulsively, she calmed herself down and decided to apologize.

Now that everyone else has left, Jiang Shuning stepped forward, her eyes filled with apology, and said softly.

"Your Majesty, because I have feelings for you, I was overcome with jealousy when I saw you holding Sister Liang. That's why I spoke in a moment of panic."

Jiang Shuning said to Chu Tianling, her face showing just the right amount of coquettishness and grievance.

"As you know, I've always been straightforward, and what I said just now was unintentional."

When Chu Tianling heard Jiang Shuning say that she was jealous, a faint smile appeared on his lips, and the coldness in his eyes dissipated considerably.

He was also wrong just now. He knew that Ning'er loved him so much, but he still picked up Liang Qiuli in front of her, which was indeed inappropriate.

"I know Ning'er didn't mean it."

Chu Tianling took Jiang Shuning's hand and patted it gently to comfort her, "I know best what Ning'er truly means to me."

Then, looking past Jiang Shuning at Liang Qiuli behind her, he gave her a warning look.

He was angry with Jiang Shuning, which was just a little playful thing between them, but Liang Qiuli couldn't take advantage of it and keep pressing the issue, showing any disrespect or provocation towards Ning'er.

Chu Tianling was taken aback when he saw Liang Qiuli. Then she lowered her eyes and looked somewhat forlorn. Chu Tianling knew that she couldn't possibly have any disrespectful thoughts towards Ning'er.

Afterwards, Liang Qiuli, enduring her sprained ankle, walked over and whispered something to Jiang Shuning.

"I have remembered all the words of admonition from my elder sister. From now on, I will be careful and will never try to take the emperor from my elder sister."

This sincere tone made Chu Tianling feel a little guilty.

They didn't even know why they felt uncomfortable.

Jiang Shuning was very satisfied. What was the use of all that Liang Qiuli had done? It was still just a word from her that made Chu Tianling stand on her side.

She nodded, then decided not to look at Liang Qiuli for the time being, leaving only a faint remark.

"I still need to write red silk prayers. Since my sister is alright, I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, Jiang Shuning flicked her sleeves and turned to leave without looking back.

Chu Tianling glanced at Jiang Shuning's retreating figure, then at Liang Qiuli, unsure whether to chase after her.

Liang Qiuli said impatiently.

"Your Majesty, my sister must want to pray for blessings with you. Please go quickly, I will wait for you and my sister here."

However, in Chu Tianling's interpretation, it was naturally because Liang Qiuli was so considerate.

He decided in his heart that once he returned to the palace, he would find an opportunity to promote Liang Qiuli's rank.
