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

A dilapidated temple in the middle of nowhere.

Shen Qingyao and Yun Susu, with their hands tied behind their backs, slumped down in the dimly lit temple.

"You two are truly celestial beauties. Tell me, which one do you think Lord Cui will choose to save, and the one left behind..."

A group of masked men dressed in black, one of whom was holding a dagger, paced back and forth in front of Shen Qingyao and Yun Susu, his eyes gleaming with greed and mockery.

Shen Qingyao knew that this was someone arranged by Cui'er and wouldn't hurt her, but she was still subconsciously a little scared when she actually faced this scene.

Moreover, I felt uneasy, as if something unexpected might happen tonight.

Yun Susu was even worse off; her face was deathly pale and her body was trembling slightly, clearly terrified by the sudden kidnapping.

"Speak up! Why aren't you saying anything?"

The man in black seemed displeased with their silence. He suddenly brought his dagger close to them, and the two quickly turned their heads and closed their eyes in fear.

"Speak up, or I'll slash both of your faces!"

"My lord, she's just a concubine. Of course Cui Yuande will save me!"

Shen Qingyao thought to herself, "Where did Cui'er find the assassin? Why is there so much trouble?"

But in order to make the performance in front of the emperor more realistic, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue acting.

The man in black seemed satisfied with Shen Qingyao's answer. He lowered the dagger in his hand slightly, but the fierce glint in his eyes remained undiminished.

"Alright, I'll let you off the hook for now. What about you?"

“My lord, although she is the legal wife, my cousin doesn’t like her at all. I am the one he loves most, so of course he will save me first.”

Yun Susu quickly replied, fearing that the man in black's dagger would fall on her face at any moment.

The man in black sneered and then extended the dagger toward Shen Qingyao again.

"stop!"

Cui Yuande finally rang out from outside the door. He looked anxious and was covered in sweat, clearly having learned of the situation and rushed over.

Yes, Cui Yuande was sitting in his study when suddenly a dagger flew in through the window and pierced a pillar beside him.

Attached to the note was a note that said, "If you want to save your two women, come alone to the temple in the eastern suburbs of the capital."

Although Cui Yuande was afraid, he had no choice but to come because it concerned Shen Qingyao and Yun Susu.

However, he has already sent his servants to report to the authorities, and he believes that the soldiers will arrive soon.

……

royal palace.

The emperor and Liang Qiuli argued until almost midnight before it ended. After Liang Qiuli left, the emperor prepared to go to bed.

Upon seeing this, Wang Youxi hurriedly went inside to report.

"Your Majesty, Miss Shen has been kidnapped by a group of men in black!"

Upon hearing this, the emperor was instantly wide awake and sat up abruptly.

"When did this happen? Didn't I tell you to arrange for people to protect him?"

Wang Youxi looked distressed. "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? You said you wouldn't act unless absolutely necessary. The men under you thought that those men in black didn't directly kill Miss Shen, so they wanted to leave the opportunity for you to be the hero and save the beauty."

Wang Youxi was also helpless. It was indeed a good opportunity, but who would have thought that things would be so unfortunate.

"Nonsense!"

The emperor said this, but a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.

He got up, put on his outer garment, and strode out of the bedroom.

Although he had people he arranged, it had already taken up a lot of time, and he still needed to get there quickly.

"Wang Youxi, prepare the horses!"

"Yes."

The emperor's nighttime outings could not be kept secret in the Zichen Palace, and Liang Qiuli soon found out.

"Miss, you said the Emperor is leaving the palace so late at night, is there something important going on?"

Ruyu asked with some curiosity.

Liang Qiuli gently shook her head.

"Don't ask about these things, they're none of our business."

Of course, Liang Qiuli knew perfectly well that the emperor's late-night departure from the palace was probably because of Shen Qingyao.

However, this time the emperor probably won't bring Shen Qingyao back to the palace directly.

……

Shen Qingyao huddled alone in a corner, hugging herself tightly, her body trembling uncontrollably.

why?

Even if the emperor hadn't come, things shouldn't have turned out this way!

Why would those people lay a hand on her?

Suddenly, the sound of the temple door being violently kicked open caught Shen Qingyao's attention.

She looked up and saw that familiar figure—the emperor.

This time it wasn't an act; it was genuine fear from the bottom of his heart.

At that moment, tears welled up in her eyes.

She struggled to her feet and stumbled toward him.

"Your Majesty, save me!"

She choked up as she spoke, her voice filled with fear and anticipation.

The emperor frowned as he looked at Shen Qingyao, whose hair was disheveled, clothes were in disarray, and even red marks were visible on her exposed skin, but he still reached out and hugged her.

He gently stroked her hair and softly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Shen Qingyao clung tightly to the emperor's waist, as if he were her only support. She buried her head in his chest, tears streaming down her face, as if she wanted to pour out all her grievances and fears.

Later, through Shen Qingyao's tearful account, the emperor learned that the man in black had asked Cui Yuande to choose between her and the concubine to save, and Cui Yuande chose the concubine.

But later, she was out of Shen Qingyao's control. Those men in black, who were clearly on her side, tried to lay a hand on her.

Fortunately, she fought back desperately, and they only messed up her hair and clothes before suddenly leaving.

However, these were not the focus of Shen Qingyao's tearful complaints.

Although the emperor was pleased that Cui Yuande did not choose Shen Qingyao, the emperor's gaze gradually turned cold.

"Cui Yuande, how dare he do this!"

The emperor's voice was filled with anger and dissatisfaction.

Shen Qingyao sensed the emperor's anger. Although the emperor arrived somewhat late, she could feel that he cared about her.

She wanted to press her advantage.

She looked up at him, her eyes blurry with tears, and choked out, "Your Majesty, I don't want him anymore! I want a divorce! Can you help me?"

The emperor looked at her tearful face and how she depended on him, and felt a surge of joy in his heart.

"Alright, I'll help you!"

The emperor agreed readily.

Shen Qingyao was overjoyed; she knew that the emperor still cared for her.

Then, to express her gratitude, she leaned against the emperor's chest and said softly, "Your Majesty, you are so kind. I don't know how to repay you."

The emperor felt even more satisfied looking at her shy appearance.

"Yao'er, I will take you back to the villa first, and then I will have the imperial physician examine you."

Does the emperor still remember what Shen Qingyao looked like when he first entered, even though his men have said that nothing happened?

However, it is still necessary to have the imperial physician examine Shen Qingyao.

Although he could accept that Shen Qingyao and Cui Yuande had consummated their marriage, if...

Shen Qingyao was unaware of the emperor's thoughts. She simply nodded and obediently followed him back to the villa.

If today passes, she can enter the palace and become the empress.

It wasn't in vain that she had played the role of a kind and innocent person in front of the emperor for so long.

Fortunately, the emperor bought into it, so her hard work during this period wasn't in vain.

But all of Shen Qingyao's beautiful dreams were shattered after she arrived at the villa.
