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

Consort Lan took a deep breath. She felt the Emperor's gaze was like two sharp swords, shooting straight at her, making her feel a little flustered.

But she knew that backing down now would only make the emperor more suspicious of her motives and intentions. So, she braced herself, mustered her courage, and whispered.

"Your Majesty, I have recently heard some rumors that... that the Imperial Noble Consort is controlling the offspring of the harem and is drugging everyone in the harem, which is why... why there have been so few princes born."

Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent, as if even the air itself had frozen.

The emperor's face instantly turned ashen, his eyes flashing with rage, and he slammed his hand on the edge of the bed.

The fact that the prince was not wealthy had been a source of worry for him all these years. He had suspected many people, but he never thought that Liang Qiuli would be involved.

After all, he could deeply feel Liang Qiuli's love for him.

However, upon hearing this news, a chill ran through him.

Could it really be Liang Qiuli?

The biggest beneficiary of the lack of princes is Liang Qiuli. If other high-ranking concubines in the harem were to give birth to princes, it would inevitably threaten the position of the eldest prince as crown prince!

The more the emperor thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and an indescribable anger and disappointment surged within him.

However, before he could send someone to investigate, a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted from his mouth, staining the bed sheet red, and he fainted.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Consort Lan was terrified when she saw that the emperor, who had just been so energetic and wanted to go to the cloud with her, was now pale and weak. She cried out to the palace servants.

Wang Youxi, who was guarding outside, was the first to react. Hearing the commotion inside, he rushed in and, upon seeing the Emperor's appearance, felt a sense of foreboding.

However, he quickly calmed down, first sending someone to fetch the imperial physician, and then immediately sending someone to inform the Imperial Noble Consort and the Crown Prince.

After all, if the emperor were to pass away, the only people who could be in charge of the harem would be the Imperial Noble Consort and the Crown Prince.

……

"How is the Emperor?"

When Liang Qiuli arrived, there were many people kneeling outside the emperor's bedchamber. She looked anxious and immediately had someone pull Wang Youxi over to ask him questions.

"Your Majesty, you've finally arrived! The imperial physician said... said His Majesty has suffered a stroke, I'm afraid..."

Wang Youxi stopped abruptly at this point, not daring to continue.

Liang Qiuli's expression changed, and she almost lost her balance. Fortunately, the palace servants behind her quickly supported her.

But I was actually happy; the damned emperor was finally going to fail!

She's endured so many years in this harem, and now her time is finally coming to an end.

But even though we're having a good time, we still need to make sure there's nothing we can do to get things arranged.

"Did the imperial physician say what the cause was? The person was perfectly fine just two days ago!"

Liang Qiuli asked in a deep voice, her tone tinged with urgency and worry.

Wang Youxi glanced cautiously at Consort Lan, who was kneeling to the side in disheveled clothes, and said in a low voice.

"The imperial physician said that His Majesty had been suffering from some minor ailments these past few days, and on top of that... his daily indulgence with Consort Lan had severely depleted his health, which is why he suddenly fainted."

Liang Qiuli's voice trembled slightly, but she still tried her best to remain calm.

"Nonsense! Wang Youxi, as the chief eunuch serving the Emperor, why didn't you advise against this?"

"This servant tried to persuade Your Majesty, but Your Majesty... this servant dares not speak for Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Wang Youxi immediately knelt down to beg for forgiveness.

Liang Qiuli took a deep breath, glanced at Consort Lan, and saw that her eyes were darting around, so she understood what was going on.

She just wanted to impeach her with those rumors because she had been favored by the emperor for a few more days, but who would have thought that the emperor, who had been perfectly fine, would suddenly collapse in bed.

It's not entirely unfair that Consort Lan encountered this situation.

"Consort Lan, you have bewitched the monarch! Take her away and execute her!"

Liang Qiuli showed no mercy and coldly gave the order.

"Your Highness, please spare me... Your Highness, please spare me! I was wrong... I will never dare to do it again..."

As Consort Lan was dragged away, her voice pleading grew fainter and fainter until it disappeared completely.

"I'll go in and take a look first. By the way, where is the Crown Prince? Go and summon him."

Liang Qiuli looked at Wang Youxi kneeling on the ground again.

"I have already sent someone to inform them, and they should be here soon."

Wang Youxi quickly replied.

Liang Qiuli nodded and walked into the bedroom.

The bedchamber was filled with a strong smell of medicine. Liang Qiuli immediately saw the emperor lying on the bed, his face pale and his eyes closed.

She gently walked to the bedside, reached out and checked the emperor's breath. Although it was weak, he was still breathing.

Liang Qiuli thought to herself, "Thank goodness I'm not dead. I don't want the emperor to die so easily!"

However, she knew she couldn't appear indifferent to the emperor, otherwise it would easily arouse suspicion from others.

"Your Majesty...you said you would stay with me for life, you can't leave me alone..."

Liang Qiuli began to act. She sat on the edge of the bed, murmuring softly, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes.

When the crown prince received the news, he rushed over and found this scene.

He knew that his mother did not like his father, and could even be said to dislike him, but he stood unconditionally on his mother's side.

But at this moment, seeing his mother so realistically express her deep affection for his father, he was truly impressed by her acting skills.

Of course, he didn't hesitate. His eyes were full of worry as he quickly walked to the bedside, looked at the lifeless emperor lying on the bed, and asked Liang Qiuli.

"Mother, what's wrong with Father?"

Liang Qiuli glanced at the emperor, who lay on the bed with his eyes closed, then turned to look at the crown prince, her voice filled with sorrow and worry.

"Your father... he suffered a stroke and may never wake up again."

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince's expression changed drastically. Although his father had been wary of him since he became the Crown Prince, his father's affection for him when he was a child was genuine.

"This……"

The crown prince was at a loss for what to do, and he turned to look at Liang Qiuli.

"Eunuch Wang, please take your men out first. I have a few words to say to the Crown Prince."

Liang Qiuli gave the order to Wang Youxi, who immediately nodded in agreement and led a group of palace servants out.
