Quick transmigration to punish scumbags, have a child to inherit everything from them
Chapter 31 The Tea-Serving Palace Maid (31)
"Greetings, Your Highness. May Your Highness be well."
The old women knelt down to pay their respects, and seeing Shen Qingyao standing there in a daze, they quickly reached out and pulled her down, kneeling down as well.
Looking at Shen Qingyao, who was kneeling reluctantly in front of her, Liang Qiuli thought that the lesson was not enough. She wanted to see how long the pampered Shen Qingyao could hold out.
"Get up, all of you. How is Consort Shen getting used to her days in the Cold Palace?"
Liang Qiuli asked the question knowingly, wanting Shen Qingyao to understand that she was now just a commoner, no longer the high and mighty Consort Shen.
Shen Qingyao raised her head, her eyes flashing with hatred and resentment.
She looked at Liang Qiuli with a hint of mockery, a cold smile playing on her lips.
"You think you've won? I've only suffered a temporary defeat. One day, I'll trample you under my feet!"
Liang Qiuli smiled dismissively, not taking Shen Qingyao's threat to heart.
"Shen Qingyao, you are so adorably naive. Do you really think you still have a chance to turn things around?"
You're nothing but a discarded woman in a cold palace now, your very life in the hands of others.
As she spoke, Liang Qiuli walked up to Shen Qingyao, leaned close to her face, and spoke in a cold and deep voice.
Shen Qingyao gritted her teeth in resentment.
"Do you think the Emperor will be fooled by you forever? Sooner or later he will see your true colors, and then your fate will be even worse than mine!"
Shen Qingyao has come to realize during her time in the Cold Palace that someone was manipulating her step by step, which led to her current predicament.
That person is either the Empress or Liang Qiuli, or the two of them working together.
But now that the Empress is confined to Fengyi Palace, there is only one possibility: Liang Qiuli is behind it all!
“I am not like you. I did not deceive the Emperor. I only did what I should do and said what I should say.”
A mocking smile curled at the corners of Liang Qiuli's lips as her gaze swept across Shen Qingyao's face, seemingly enjoying her despair and anger.
"Liang Qiuli, what do you know?"
Shen Qingyao sensed that Liang Qiuli's words had a hidden meaning, and she glared at Liang Qiuli with hatred in her eyes.
Liang Qiuli looked at her indifferently, as if she were looking at a clown.
"I don't know anything about it!"
"You bitch, I'm going to kill you!"
Shen Qingyao felt that she couldn't count on Cui Yuande.
So as she spoke, she suddenly rushed forward, wanting to use the only wooden hairpin left on her head to stab Liang Qiuli. Even if she couldn't take her life, she could at least make her child die with her.
"Damn it!"
Before Shen Qingyao could even touch Liang Qiuli, she was kicked away by the emperor.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood.
The emperor heard that Liang Qiuli had gone to the Cold Palace as soon as he finished court. He was worried that Shen Qingyao, that crazy woman, might hurt her if she went crazy. Who would have thought that this was the scene he saw when he entered the palace.
"Fortunately, I arrived in time. From now on, let the maids do the disciplining."
The emperor is still shaken, so it seems she has given Shen Qingyao, that wicked woman, a light punishment.
"Your Majesty, I will not allow anyone to harm our child."
Liang Qiuli touched her swollen belly and reassured the emperor.
"Shen, who shows no remorse, shall be whipped thirty times a day from this moment forth, and forced to kneel for one hour. Without my order, she shall not die!"
The emperor glanced coldly at Shen Qingyao, who was lying on the ground groaning in pain, his eyes filled with disgust.
After saying this, the emperor left with Liang Qiuli.
……
Fifteen years have passed in the blink of an eye.
The emperor was middle-aged and had many offspring, but unfortunately, he only had five sons.
Apart from Liang Qiuli, the mother of the eldest and second princes, who held relatively high positions, the mothers of the other three princes were not favored by the emperor. Therefore, the emperor could only choose to make the eldest prince the crown prince.
Fortunately, Yu'er was intelligent and sensible from a young age, and her demeanor was quite imperial, which pleased the emperor.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the Empress was confined to her quarters for more than ten years and finally passed away three years ago.
Liang Qiuli was promoted from Consort to Imperial Noble Consort.
Over the years, as Liang Qiuli grew older and other beautiful young women entered the palace through the imperial concubine selection, the emperor lost his earlier enthusiasm for her and visited Chengqian Palace much less frequently.
But this does not affect Liang Qiuli's status at all.
After all, everyone knows that the two sons of the Imperial Noble Consort are very promising and are deeply loved by the Emperor. The eldest prince was also named Crown Prince five years ago.
"Your Majesty, the one in the Cold Palace is dying."
Liang Qiuli was sitting by the window arranging flowers when she heard this. She paused, her brows furrowing slightly. "Oh? Is it almost too late?"
"Yes, they said he caught a cold last night. He's been punished every day for years, so he's already weak. I'm afraid he won't make it through this."
Ruyu told him everything she knew.
Liang Qiuli's lips curled slightly, revealing a barely perceptible sneer.
"She's quite resilient; she's lived so long even after being sent to the Cold Palace. But Yu'er has grown up, and it's about time to send them on their way."
Ruyu dared not say more and just stood with her head down.
A hint of coldness flashed in Liang Qiuli's eyes. She leaned slightly forward and whispered to Ruyu beside her.
"Go quietly and spread the rumor that the Emperor's lack of sons over the years is due to my own actions."
Although Ruyu didn't understand why the Empress did this, she still nodded in agreement.
That wasn't enough, of course. Liang Qiuli also had the system secretly drug the emperor, causing his body to weaken day by day, requiring large amounts of tonics each time to maintain his pleasure.
The emperor was completely unaware of this, indulging in fantasies of beauty and power, believing his body was still strong, when in reality he was being secretly manipulated by Liang Qiuli.
……
Zichen Palace.
"Your Majesty, you seem to be feeling unwell these past few days. Should we summon the imperial physician to examine you?"
Wang Youxi had been by the emperor's side for many years and knew the emperor's health best, so he asked cautiously, his eyes revealing his concern for the emperor.
The emperor sat on the dragon throne, toying with a jade cup in his hand, his face slightly darkened, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
"I know my own body well, there's no need for further words. Tonight, I summon Consort Lan to serve me in bed!"
The emperor hates nothing more than people talking about his health. He is perfectly healthy, but these servants always bring it up. He will prove them wrong tonight.
Wang Youxi was taken aback, and sighed inwardly, but dared not say anything more. He quickly bowed and withdrew to arrange the matter of serving the emperor in bed.
Tonight is unlikely to be peaceful.
"Your Majesty, you are truly amazing. It's already this late, and you still have so much energy."
Consort Lan lowered her head shyly, a blush rising on her cheeks, her voice trembling with a hint of joy.
"Hahahaha, I am naturally powerful. My beloved concubine, give me a prince, and I will reward you handsomely."
The emperor laughed triumphantly, holding Consort Lan tightly in his arms, waiting for the energy within him to surge up again.
"Alright, but Your Majesty, I've heard some rumors?"
Consort Lan gently raised her head, her words seemingly carrying a hint of probing.
"Oh? What rumors?"
The emperor raised an eyebrow, seemingly quite interested in the topic.
"It's about...the Imperial Noble Consort."
Consort Lan carefully chose her words, knowing full well that there was much gossip and trouble in the inner palace, and that the slightest carelessness could lead to disaster.
But then she thought that the Emperor had been favoring her the most these days, so she decided to take the risk. If the Imperial Noble Consort fell, wouldn't her status rise even higher?
The emperor's expression changed slightly. Regardless of Liang Qiuli's status in his heart, the fact that she was now the birth mother of the crown prince was enough to make any rumors about her sensitive and important.
He glanced at Consort Lan with some displeasure, but did not retaliate.
"Tell me, what is it about the Imperial Noble Consort?"
