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

"Consort Yu, something terrible has happened! The Emperor has been in trouble on the battlefield!"

Upon hearing this news, Jiang Shuning nearly collapsed to the ground, but fortunately, a maidservant nearby caught her quickly.

It should be noted that since the Jiang family's incident a month ago, and the Grand Tutor's forced resignation, Consort Jiang's status has plummeted, even though she was not deposed.

She secured her position as a Zhaoyi (a high-ranking concubine) by relying on the emperor's lingering affection for her. She believed that as long as Chu Tianling could return safely and fully seize power, it wouldn't be impossible for her to ascend to the throne of empress.

But upon hearing this sudden news, Jiang Shuning had a bad feeling.

"Is His Majesty injured or something?"

Jiang Shuning's voice trembled slightly as she gripped the palace maid's hand tightly. If Chu Tianling died, then... then everything would truly be over.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, she has been captured by the Xiongnu tribe, and her fate is unknown!"

The palace maid's words struck Jiang Shuning like a bolt from the blue, turning her face deathly pale. She staggered and fainted.

At the same time, the concubines in the inner palace received the news, and chaos ensued.

Chengqian Palace.

"Finally, there's a chance. Let's make you two a pair of star-crossed lovers."

Consort Jiang's lingering affection for Chu Tianling vanished the day the Jiang family was destroyed. Now, upon hearing that Chu Tianling had been captured, she felt no worry whatsoever; instead, a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.

Yong'an Palace.

"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! For some unknown reason, Consort Jiang stormed into Ningxi Palace. You must go and see what's going on."

Seeing that something was wrong at Ningxi Palace, a palace maid who was with Jiang Shuning hurriedly ran to Yong'an Palace via a side path.

"Oh? No rush."

Liang Qiuli was not surprised, so she didn't seem anxious.

He first picked up a teacup and took a sip, then whispered a few words in Xi Zhu's ear. After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he slowly stood up and straightened his clothes.

"Let's go and have a look."

When Liang Qiuli arrived at Ningxi Palace, she saw that Jiang Shuning and Consort Jiang were both covered in blood, their clothes were disheveled, and there were bloodstains on their arms and even their faces.

She didn't step forward again, but instead shouted at them sternly.

"stop!"

But clearly the two of them had no intention of stopping, and even glanced in Liang Qiuli's direction intentionally or unintentionally.

Liang Qiuli realized their intentions, took a few steps back, and then ordered the eunuchs to restrain the two of them.

"Now is a critical moment for the Emperor, and you, as concubines of the harem, are actually fighting each other at this critical juncture. What kind of behavior is this!"

Before the Emperor went to war, he also granted me the power to assist in managing the inner palace. You two have shown contempt for the Emperor. From this moment on, you shall move out of your respective palaces and go to the Hall of Repentance to die. Without my imperial decree, you shall not take a single step out.

A decision will be made after His Majesty's triumphant return.

The dilapidated state of the Repentance Hall is no less than that of the Cold Palace. It is deserted year-round, and only concubines who have committed serious offenses are usually exiled here.

Jiang Shuning was naturally unwilling and immediately wanted to resist.

"Liang Qiuli, how dare you! Aren't you afraid the Emperor will return and punish you?"

Liang Qiuli was not afraid of Jiang Shuning's threats at all.

“I am acting in accordance with palace rules. What is there that I dare not do? You cannot threaten me with the Emperor.”

In his heart, he thought, "Chu Tianling is a dead man, why would I be afraid of him?"

After that, no matter how much Jiang Shuning made a fuss, she was reluctantly escorted by the eunuch to the Hall of Repentance, her heart filled with resentment towards Liang Qiuli, and she wanted to keep an eye on her after Chu Tianling returned.

Consort Jiang, however, did not make a fuss at all, which suited her just as well.

Once inside the Hall of Repentance, Jiang Shuning was no match for her bullying.

As for Chu Tianling, she must be hoping every day that he will never come back.
