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

"Your Majesty, cough cough... Why have you come? It's dangerous here, please get out!"

Liang Qiuli feigned weakness as she called out, but a shrewd glint flashed in her eyes.

"I'll take you out!"

The emperor, disregarding everything, picked up Liang Qiuli and rushed outside.

Once outside, a crowd immediately surrounded them.

"Your Majesty, how are you? Are you injured?"

After receiving news of the fire at Chengqian Palace, the Empress rushed over.

Upon arriving, I heard that the emperor had rushed into the sea of ​​fire to save Liang Qiuli, and a sense of unease immediately welled up in my heart.

"It's nothing." The emperor shook his head, his gaze never leaving Liang Qiuli. "Li'er, how are you feeling?"

Liang Qiuli's face was deathly pale. She shook her head slightly and forced a smile. "Your Majesty, I'm fine. How are the two children?"

The emperor held her hand, his eyes full of tenderness and comfort.

"Don't worry, the children are all fine. The fire in the side hall was small, and the wet nurse found them early, so they have already been taken away from the fire."

Upon hearing this, Liang Qiuli felt a great weight lifted from her heart, and her expression relaxed somewhat, but her face darkened drastically.

"Cough cough cough..."

She suddenly began to cough violently, each cough seeming as if she were coughing up her heart and lungs, causing the emperor's heart to tighten with each cough.

"Summon the imperial physician immediately!" the emperor ordered anxiously.

"Your Majesty, I have inhaled too much smoke, I'm afraid I'm going to die..."

Liang Qiuli said weakly, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes.

"No, I won't allow anything to happen to you!"

The emperor interrupted her.

"Your Majesty, after hearing what I have to say, I truly have never harmed Consort Shen's child. I hope Your Majesty can believe me one last time!"

"I believe you. As long as you are alright, I will believe you and restore your rank as a concubine. I'm sorry, Noble Consort!"

The emperor spoke rapidly, but he was very uneasy. He held Liang Qiuli's hand tightly, trying to transfer his strength to her.

"Yes, and I also hope that after I leave, Your Majesty will treat the two children well..."

Liang Qiuli's voice grew weaker and weaker, as if she might stop breathing at any moment.

"Finally, I am unlucky enough to say that the child in my womb will not be able to see his father, the Emperor..."

As she finished speaking, a single, glistening tear rolled down Liang Qiuli's cheek, and she fell into a coma.

The emperor felt as if his heart was being torn apart. He held Liang Qiuli tightly, his voice trembling.

"No, no, I won't let anything happen to you. I've already sent someone to fetch the imperial physician. You must hold on. I can't live without you, and the baby needs you too."

The emperor's voice was filled with deep fear and despair. This was the first time he had felt afraid, afraid that his two children would lose their mother, and even more afraid that he would lose Liang Qiuli.

He seems to have fallen in love with this woman whom she once looked down upon!

Seeing the emperor holding Liang Qiuli and weeping, Shen Qingyao was consumed by jealousy. She had once thought that the emperor had deep love for her, but at this moment, she saw the emperor's deep affection for Liang Qiuli.

She was unwilling and angry, but as long as Liang Qiuli was really dead, then nothing was to be afraid of. After all, what could a dead person do?

Shen Qingyao suppressed her emotions, stepped forward, and softly comforted the emperor: "Your Majesty, please accept my condolences. Consort Rong, she..."

"Shut up! Consort Rong is fine!"

The emperor suddenly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Shen Qingyao, filled with anger and grief.

Shen Qingyao was so frightened by the emperor's gaze that she took a step back. She had never seen the emperor so out of control.

Not only Shen Qingyao had never seen it before, but the Empress and everyone in the harem had never seen the Emperor so out of control.

"emperor……"

The Empress was heartbroken that Liang Qiuli was finally dead, but she couldn't hide her grief on her face. She stepped forward to comfort the Emperor, but he pushed her away.

"Get out! All of you, get out of my sight!"

The emperor roared, picked up Liang Qiuli's gradually cooling body, and strode towards the Zichen Palace.

The empress staggered before regaining her balance.

After the emperor left, the empress coldly swept her gaze over everyone present, finally fixing it on Shen Qingyao.

Shen Qingyao felt a tremor in her heart as the Empress looked at her, and involuntarily lowered her head.

"What are you all standing there for? Go back to your own chambers!"

The Empress gave the crowd a cold look before turning and leaving.

Upon seeing this, the concubines all lowered their heads and carefully left.

……

Zichen Palace.

The emperor gently placed Liang Qiuli on the bed, and looking at her pale, bloodless face, he felt a dull pain in his heart.

He held her cold hand tightly, tears welling in his eyes, and called her name in a trembling voice.

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician has arrived!"

Wang Youxi hurriedly led the imperial physician into the bedchamber. Seeing the emperor sitting by Liang Qiuli's bedside, he quickly gestured for the physician to come forward and take her pulse.

The imperial physician carefully took Liang Qiuli's pulse. After a moment, he frowned and looked troubled.

Upon seeing this, the emperor's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Imperial Physician, how is the Imperial Concubine?"

The imperial physician hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking.

"Your Majesty, although the Empress's pulse is extremely weak, there is still a glimmer of hope for her!"

"But the heir in her womb may not survive."

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he stared intently at the imperial physician.

"Then hurry up! Nothing is more important than the Consort's life; matters concerning the imperial heir can wait!"

The imperial physician nodded hurriedly and began to take out silver needles from his medicine box to administer acupuncture to Liang Qiuli.

In the end, Liang Qiuli and the unborn child survived, but the imperial physicians were unsure when the Consort would wake up.

The emperor was only slightly relieved after confirming that Liang Qiuli was not in immediate danger.

After my thoughts returned to normal, I began to consider the cause of today's fire.

The fire came suddenly, and it happened during the shift change of the guards outside Chengqian Palace, which was no coincidence.

"Wang Youxi, come out with me."

The emperor gave the order in a deep voice and left the bedchamber with his personal eunuch, Wang Youxi.

In the darkness, the emperor's gaze was as sharp as a hawk's.

"Wang Youxi, go and investigate how the fire started, and also who has tried to enter Chengqian Palace recently."

"Yes, but I have something else to report, which concerns Lanxin, who serves Consort Shen."

Wang Youxi bowed and reported the news cautiously.

The emperor raised an eyebrow. Lanxin? The palace maid who was acting suspiciously in Qingxi Palace today?

"explain."

“I just followed that palace maid and saw her sneak into the Imperial Garden and quietly bury something. When I had someone dig it up, it turned out to be some medicine dregs.”

As Wang Youxi spoke, he took out a small cloth bag from his sleeve. When he opened it, a strong smell of medicine wafted out.

"Has the imperial physician examined you?"

The emperor pinched his nose, frowned, and asked.

"Not yet. After the things were dug out, I restrained Lanxin. Just as I was about to report, something happened in Chengqian Palace."

As Wang Youxi spoke, he handed the dregs of the medicine to a royal physician who was waiting outside.

The imperial physician lowered his head, sniffed the air, then picked up a small amount and rubbed it between his fingertips, his expression gradually becoming serious.

"Your Majesty, this seems to be the residue of a pregnancy-stabilizing... no, not a false pregnancy drug."

The imperial physician said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in the emperor's eyes.

"Fake pregnancy pills?"

He repeated in a calm voice, his tone carrying a hint of suppressed anger.
