Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Xue Xier burst into tears on the spot.

She stopped arguing and instead turned her attention to the two men at the head of the table, waiting for evidence to clear her name.

Fragrant flowers and creeping fig.

The two are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. Separately, they may just be an elegant flower and a medicinal herb for dietary supplementation. However, when combined, they have the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Women who are exposed to them for a long time are prone to menstrual irregularities and habitual bleeding. If pregnant women take them, they will lose blood and qi and are prone to miscarriage. (1)

There was a fragrant jasmine tree in Yuhua Palace that bloomed exceptionally well. No one knew when it was planted, but Xue Xier had a swing set up next to it, where she and Ye Linghua often enjoyed tea and played.

If the flower was an accident, and Xue Xier could be absolved of any connection, then this clump of grass must be irrefutable evidence.

"Bring it here!" Lian Shaoyuan said, breaking the deadlock.

"Yes!" Eunuch Chang sent someone to hand over the evidence.

On the tray was a handkerchief, which appeared to belong to a concubine. But the key thing wasn't the handkerchief, but rather a small piece of dregs of medicine wrapped up on it.

"What is this?" Ye Ruilan asked, puzzled.

"Your Majesty, this is the dregs of the medicine I used to treat my illness."

Upon hearing this, Xue Xier's expression finally changed.

She had already ordered the medication to be stopped, and the previous dregs had always been cleaned up promptly, never left behind. But now, Ye Linghua was actually saying that she had kept a portion. How could the other party have stopped trusting her at some point?

Her face was dejected; at that moment, she knew she had lost.

The imperial physician took the medicine and examined it carefully, while his apprentice recorded his observations. It was then handed to another imperial physician for further examination, and finally, a list of all the medicinal ingredients was compiled and presented to His Majesty.

Lian Shaoyuan took it and saw that Menfu grass was among them.

"Hmph! What else do you have to say!" He threw the prescription to the ground. Lian Shaoyuan glared at Xue Xier, who had initially thought she was a good person—unassuming and supportive of Linghua.

In the end, the dog that bites doesn't bark.

The more gentle and harmless a woman pretends to be, the more vicious she is! It's been going on for eight or nine months now. If it weren't for a royal physician from the south who had witnessed the effects of the two herbs and was instead involved in the search of the palace...

I'm afraid we've fooled them this time.

Linghua's subsequent pregnancies would all end in miscarriage, and she was easily deceived because her constitution was similar to that of women in the common folk who were prone to miscarriage.

Xue Xi'er knelt on the ground, not daring to raise her head, but repeatedly said that she was wronged.

“Your Majesty is wise. Someone has manipulated Imperial Physician Xue to put this herb in Consort Ye’s medicine. Furthermore, they know about the flowers in Yuhua Palace. In doing so, they have not only harmed Consort Ye but also dragged me into this mess.”

"Your Majesty, this matter is clearly intended to sow discord between us sisters!"

"Your Majesty!" Xue Xi'er kowtowed repeatedly, making loud thuds, and soon blood seeped out.

She absolutely cannot give up, she absolutely cannot confess!

Some of the lower-ranking concubines began to sob, speaking up for Xue Xier, "Sister Xue is usually very kind and takes good care of us. I don't believe she would do such a thing."

"Yes, everyone knows that Sister Ye and Sister Xue are the best of friends."

Liang Xun, watching the spectacle with amusement and not wanting to miss out on the fun, also said sarcastically:

"Hmph! What sisterly affection? Even blood sisters aren't necessarily of one mind." She rolled her eyes, her words carrying a hidden meaning.

Seeing the noise that resembled a bustling market, Xia Youmi's headache worsened.

This male lead has such a twisted sense of humor! How long are we going to keep observing him?

He already had the evidence, and that Physician Xue had already confessed in the torture chamber! But he just wouldn't resolve it all at once; he wanted to see the various factions truly surface.

They deliberately kept it from the female lead to see if she was truly innocent, whether she had been involved in the affair, and whether her sisterly relationship with Consort Xue was genuine.

Feelings between men and women often go awry.

Initially, it was the suspension bridge effect.

They quickly become deeply involved, but the man often recovers more quickly, not because he dislikes the relationship, but because he's used to being in control and managing his emotions, which makes him more adept. The woman, on the other hand, gradually becomes more and more involved, falling deeper and deeper into the relationship. If she can't regain her senses, she's strangled and loses herself.

If she regains her senses, she will gradually break free from this painful trap and struggle upwards. In her unwavering perseverance, she will attract men who become wildly infatuated with her.

Many intense and abusive relationships stem from a fundamental incompatibility.

When Ye Linghua could no longer hold on and was about to collapse.

Only after receiving the signal did Eunuch Chang clear the scene, indicating that Physician Xue had been apprehended and had already confessed.

He confessed that he had received Xue Xi'er's orders to add this herb, *Menfucao*, to Consort Ye's medicine, but it was not to be written into the prescription. The dosage was so small that it was undetectable by taste. Furthermore, it was added in powder form, making it difficult to distinguish.

Xue Xier collapsed completely, no longer speaking.

She hoped it wouldn't implicate her prince, but how could Lian Shaoyuan let her go? This was a good opportunity to govern Jiangnan.

"The Fifth Prince is my uncle who has been adopted by me."

"Your Majesty! No!"

Xue Xi'er finally broke down, crawling forward on her knees. She grabbed Lian Shaoyuan's robe tightly and pleaded in a low voice. Seeing that His Majesty was unmoved, she then turned to Ye Linghua and prostrated herself on the ground to beg for mercy.

"No, no adoption! Wen'er is innocent. Please, don't let him leave me."

"I am willing to spend my whole life praying for you with only the light of a lamp and the presence of an ancient Buddha."

Tears finally streamed down Ye Linghua's face. In truth, Xi'er's methods were both clever and foolish. She thought she could frame someone else, but she forgot about Ye Linghua, and that she had no one she trusted, not even her own personal maid.

Her only genuine connection to someone was met with such treatment.

Everyone dispersed, those who deserved punishment were punished, and Xia Youmi, who was supposed to sleep, went back to her bed and slept soundly.

Even Consort Fang, while being punished with a board, burst out laughing.

Although she and Xue Xi'er both came from Jiangnan, they were rivals and both gave birth to princes around the same time. In fact, they both fought, but in the end, she prevailed.

Her letter was saved, while the other two suffered heavy losses.

Haha, I could laugh myself awake even in my dreams.

However, the laughter didn't last long.

Because Consort Zhao was secretly punished, she had no choice but to hand over her palace power to Ye Linghua.

Later, Ye Ruilan thought about it more and more and felt that something was wrong. The testimony of Physician Xue was that the dosage of the herb Xiamenfu in the medicine was very small and mixed in as powder, so it should not be easy to distinguish in the dregs of the medicine.

The dregs used as evidence were most likely fabricated by Ye Linghua herself. She had long suspected Xue Xier, but at that time she couldn't see any harmful ingredients and couldn't connect them to Hu Xianghua, so she continued to drink the medicine without worry.

If she guessed correctly, it was during that conversation between the sisters in May.

The strategy of sowing discord worked.

......

However, the heroine, once she rallies, is like a fierce lion awakened.

Those who thought they had escaped by chance were all punished. In particular, her role in managing and investigating palace servants brought previous mysteries to light.

They also found some of the personnel systems of Jinzhugong and plan to promote and implement them.

He made a special trip to see Xia Youmi and discussed it in detail. As expected of the female lead, she managed to amplify her simplified system a hundredfold.

For a while.

The palace ceased its clandestine activities.

Everything has become much more regulated.
