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

But after a brief silence, the surrounding people couldn't help but start whispering and discussing what Xu Yuerao had said.

"Are you sure this is true?"

"That can't be believed, can it? Aren't the Yellow River dikes repaired every year?"

"That's not necessarily true. What if the repairs are just..."

It's unclear whether these are genuine ordinary people or members of other factions mixed in with the crowd.

The emperor, naturally, heard this from inside the carriage, and his eyebrows furrowed.

In fact, he had long anticipated that the Yellow River might breach its banks, since the Prime Minister's faction had embezzled a lot of money over the years in the maintenance of the dikes, and the Yellow River dikes could not withstand the heavy rain.

A few days ago, when Master Wuchen returned to Beijing, he privately mentioned to him the matter of the Yellow River dikes, urging him to pay attention to it.

Liang Wencheng was rewarded by the emperor for his willingness to privately fund the repair of the dike.

The emperor wanted to resolve the matter quietly, otherwise, if the people found out, it would surely cause panic, and if the prime minister's faction didn't make a fuss, the situation would be even more difficult to control.

Now that Xu Yuerao has brought this up in public, he is naturally displeased.

Moreover, the Yellow River dikes are already under repair, so this matter must not be acknowledged.

"Nonsense! Guards, seize this person who is spreading heresy and misleading the public!"

The emperor's voice was cold and firm, as if it brooked no argument.

Xu Yuerao was incredulous. Did the emperor not care about the people at all?

Without thinking twice, she struggled and shouted.

"Your Majesty, this matter concerns the safety of the people. Are you going to disregard their safety for the sake of saving face?"

Before she could finish speaking, guards stepped forward and seized her.

The emperor's expression grew increasingly grim as he looked at Xu Yuerao, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

Perhaps the strange things Master Wuchen mentioned today are related to this woman!

"This person is spreading falsehoods and cannot be trusted! I have always attached great importance to the safety of the people. If the Yellow River were to really breach its banks, would I disregard the lives of the people for the sake of saving face?"

Moreover, I have been sending people to closely monitor the Yellow River's water conditions, and I will be informed immediately if there are any abnormalities.

Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will never allow anything to harm the people!

Although Xu Yuerao was arrested, the surrounding discussions grew louder and louder, and the emperor had no choice but to step in to appease the people.

As soon as he spoke, those who had been instigating him dared not say anything more. They were afraid that the emperor would discover their ulterior motives, which would implicate themselves and their masters.

As the previously agitated crowd gradually quieted down, the emperor's carriage continued towards the hunting grounds outside the city.

Xu Yuerao was imprisoned and awaited further interrogation by the emperor upon his return, since he did not believe her claim that she had accomplished this in a dream.

After the emperor left, Chang'an Street returned to its usual bustling state, and Liang Qiuli, standing in the Zhaixing Tower, finally looked away.

"Little sister, how did you know that something like this would happen today?"

Liang Wencheng was increasingly unable to understand his younger sister.

She clearly either stayed in the villa outside the city or in the Marquis's mansion, never leaving the house. How could she be so knowledgeable about the affairs of the entire capital and even the entire dynasty?

Liang Qiuli simply picked up her teacup and took a small sip without saying a word. She knew she was a mission taker, and no one could possibly tell her that.

How did she know about Xu Yuerao's actions today?

She had someone tell Xu Yuerao that the emperor would be leaving the city through Chang'an Street today.

Xu Yuerao's smooth journey from the Marquis's residence to the Emperor's carriage was all thanks to her secret arrangements.

Even Master Wuchen was orchestrated by her or the system.

She did this so that Xu Yuerao would experience the backlash of being reborn.

In the life of the original owner who died tragically, Xu Yuerao, claiming to be reborn and having foreseen the future, caused the original owner to die in the womb and her family to be destroyed.

With Liang Qiuli here, how could she possibly let Xu Yuerao have an easy time?

……

"You said you were reborn?"

The emperor had considered that Xu Yuerao might have been deliberately arranged by the prime minister's faction, but he never expected that she was a reincarnated person.

His eyes narrowed slightly as he scrutinized Xu Yuerao, who was bound inside. If she truly was a reborn person, then perhaps...

"Yes, Your Majesty, I am a reborn person. You must believe me. I can help you gain this world!"

Xu Yuerao didn't actually know anything about the future, but all she wanted now was to survive, so she immediately continued to fabricate lies in an attempt to persuade the emperor.

The emperor felt a surge of inexplicable excitement upon hearing Xu Yuerao's words.

However, I should still ask Master Wuchen.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Master Wuchen suddenly appeared in the dungeon. He was dressed in a gray Taoist robe, with a kind face, and looked like he had transcended the mortal world.

"Master Wuchen, what brings you here? Did you already know?"

The emperor looked at Master Wuchen with some surprise.

Master Wuchen nodded slightly.

"This person's appearance goes against the natural order; he must not be allowed to live."

The emperor hesitated and hoped that Master Wuchen could explain in more detail.

Wuchen naturally understood the emperor's thoughts, so he slowly spoke.

"This woman's lifespan had also come to an end in her previous life, and she has no control over what will happen in the future."

Xu Yuerao's heart sank upon hearing Wuchen's words, and the incredulous expression on her face completely betrayed her, confirming that what Master Wuchen said was true.

"Guards, take this demoness away..."

Before the emperor could finish speaking, Master Wuchen interrupted, "Your Majesty, may I hand this woman over to this humble Taoist priest for disposal?"

The emperor looked at Master Wuchen and then nodded in agreement.

……

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

It did rain heavily in Yuzhou, but thanks to advance repairs, the Yellow River did not breach its banks, and the emperor and the people's hearts were kept at ease.

Liang Wencheng then requested further rewards, which the emperor granted to Liang Qiuli and her child.

The Yongchang Marquis's Mansion was renamed the Sheng'an Marquis's Mansion. Liang Qiuli not only became the Marquis's wife, but was also granted an imperial title. Her son also changed his surname to Liang and could inherit the Marquis's Mansion when he came of age.

"Madam, the woman died in childbirth."

Upon receiving the news, Qingtao immediately came to report to Liang Qiuli.

Liang Qiuli was not surprised at all, because Xu Yuerao was not actually pregnant, but had been given a peculiar fake pregnancy drug from the system.

After using this medicine, the pulse will be slippery and the abdomen will swell, but there is no child in fact. In the end, the patient will die from postpartum hemorrhage due to abdominal pain and dystocia.

"Ah."

Liang Qiuli spoke calmly, but felt a sense of relief; it seemed that one of the original owner's wishes had been fulfilled.

Next, we had to deal with Fei Wuxuan and the Liu family.
