Quick Transmigration: My Host's Darling Little Darling

Chapter 94 The Scholar vs. the Substitute Bride (28) (The End)

The imperial concubine was living a life worse than death.

As if she had gone mad, she said, "Hahahaha... So what if I switched children? You deserve it! I was clearly the Empress, but because of a birthmark, I became a concubine. Why? Why? You don't know, do you? Liang Nan has always known that he wasn't your child. He has been trying every means to prevent Lin Nan from recognizing you. Both children are Nan. Zhao Shi just wants revenge on you! She had a son, but the Emperor abandoned her in a corner because you were pregnant. Look at the fate of a concubine! Even if I die today, I will curse you to never get what you want! May you die a horrible death..."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Imperial Concubine breathed her last.

Liang Nan was terrified, clutching her head and repeatedly saying, "No, I didn't, it's not..."

"The First Prince Liang Siyao has colluded with rebels, formed cliques for personal gain, and plotted a rebellion. The evidence is conclusive. He shall be imprisoned and executed at a later date!"

"Consort Liu plotted to harm the imperial heir and showed contempt for imperial authority, so she was demoted to a commoner. The Liu clan committed acts of rebellion, and all those over the age of seven were imprisoned and executed on a later date, while those under the age of seven were exiled. All the money involved was confiscated and sent to the national treasury."

"Seventh Prince Liang Nan..."

"Your Majesty, Nan'er is still young..." the Empress pleaded instinctively.

Nan Ge'er was just afraid of losing her as his mother.

"Father, the child is innocent..." The Crown Prince still softened his heart towards his younger brother whom he had doted on since childhood.

"Seventh Prince Liang Nan, having been instigated by others and lacking a firm will, is hereby demoted to a county princess and confined to the Prince's residence."

[Warning! The target's happiness level has decreased. Current happiness level: 88%]

"Lin Nan is of royal blood, and is hereby granted the title of Eighth Prince..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Nan knelt down and said, "Lin Nan is giving Your Majesty the blueprints for alcohol production and crossbow manufacturing free of charge. This is Lin Nan's first and last gift to Your Majesty and the Empress, as a way of repaying the debt of life. I now know who brought me into this world. My wish has been fulfilled, and the debt of life has been repaid. From now on, we part ways and have no further connection!"

Lin Nan couldn't bring himself to be on friendly terms with the son of his enemy.

They would never be able to have family with someone who tries to ruin their reputation or kill them.

After saying this, she kowtowed, stood up, and said to Shengyuan, "Husband, shall we go home?"

"Alright, I'll take you back." Sheng Yuan carried him to the villa they had prepared earlier.

That was their decorated home.

Sheng Yuan led Lin Nan away as if no one else was around. Liang Siqi tried to stop him, but Lin Nan said, "Is Liang Nan really innocent? Does Your Highness still remember the 'perhaps' I said back then? I never thought it would come true. Let's never see each other again."

After speaking, he left.

"It seems Second Brother made the wrong choice again," Liang Sixian said with a hint of schadenfreude.

After the banquet, He Shengyuan, a fourth-rank official, and his husband never appeared again.

Even when the emperor sent people to the Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce, all they found out was that the exact address of the chamber's president was unknown. The documents that needed to be processed were kept in the president's private room, and the president's personal attendant would come to collect them.

The emperor and the crown prince also went to keep watch over this personal attendant.

But Nuonuo says, "I can teleport!"

In the end, they gained nothing.

"Nanbao, what are you thinking about?"

"Husband, I still don't want to let Liang Nan go." Lin Nan leaned against Sheng Yuan's chest. Actually, they often went out to play, but they wore human skin masks so no one recognized them.

Liang Nan has returned to being a prince, and most importantly, he truly harbors murderous intentions towards him, but he simply cannot find him now.

Lin Nan thought his hint was obvious... or perhaps the hint was obvious, but they were just unwilling to touch Liang Nan.

It was precisely because Liang Nan was not kind that he decided to make a scene at the banquet after returning to Beijing.

But they still softened their hearts.

He knew that the Empress, the Crown Prince, and the Emperor were all looking for him, but he didn't want to see them.

“Alright, I will kill him for you,” Sheng Yuan said.

Late at night at the Prince Consort's residence, Sheng Yuan came to Liang Nan's bedside.

The next day, news spread throughout the capital that the seventh prince, Liang Nan, had hanged himself.

The bodies of Liang Nan's family were surrounded by the bodies of Lin Da's family.

He left behind the saying: "If you don't want others to know, don't do it in the first place."

[Ding! Target's happiness level: 95%]

Upon learning this, the Empress fell ill and never recovered, spending her days copying scriptures and chanting Buddhist prayers in her bedchamber.

Consort Hui came to visit.

"What are you here for?"

"I don't quite understand. Knowing that her child has been bullied, she still chooses Liang Nan as always. She is truly the epitome of 'gentle and virtuous'!" Consort Hui sat behind the Empress, watching the Empress kneel before the Buddha statue.

"What do you know? I am the Empress, the mother of the nation!"

"But all I see is that the Empress is Liang Nan's mother!" Consort Hui retorted without backing down. "Her Majesty the Empress could see through the Seventh Prince's little tricks at a glance, yet she still pleaded with His Majesty, letting Nan-ge'er watch his own mother plead for the person who wanted him dead. What did he do wrong?"

Consort Hui had the Xie family behind her, so although she was not favored in the palace, she could still act with impunity.

The Xie family and the Shen family are also related by marriage, so the Xie family and the Shen family are on good terms.

Consort Hui developed a strong liking for him after learning that her son had been saved by Lord He and that Lin Nan had been personally taught by Lord He.

Especially when I saw him in person, I liked him no matter how I looked at him, and I instantly understood why Xian'er liked this young man so much.

Therefore, she did not understand the Empress's choice.

"What do you know? Lin Nan has many people, but Xiao Qi only has me. Lin Nan can easily kill a lowly servant, while my Xiao Qi has been kind since childhood and wouldn't even step on an ant. How can he compare to my Xiao Qi?"

Consort Hui laughed in anger: "Did Liang Nan get to this point because of Nan-ge'er? That little servant was the one who poisoned him! If my Xian'er hadn't been so healthy, he might have really died. Shouldn't he have died?"

“Sister, you are unwilling to believe what the Seventh Prince did because you are unwilling to accept that the child you raised with your own hands is actually a vicious person, and you are unwilling to admit your failure. But the facts prove that Liang Nan is a vicious person, and you lost your own child because of it.”

"You are an excellent queen, but by no means a successful mother."

Consort Hui got up and left, leaving the Empress alone in front of the Buddha statue, silently shedding tears.

When Shen Yunzhao returned and learned of this, he was furious.

He grabbed his spear and rushed to the East Palace, where he beat Liang Siqi without saying a word.

As he left, he said to Liang Siqi, who was lying on the ground, "Serves you right!"

Even he could see that Nan-ge'er deliberately made a big fuss to expose Liang Nan's true colors for the safety of the Empress and the Crown Prince.

Does Liang Nan's claim that someone framed her mean that someone actually framed her?

Isn't the evidence clear enough? Can you be forgiven just by playing the victim a couple of times?

If he were Lin Nan, he wouldn't want to see them again either!

If Gu Shuqiao hadn't stopped him, Shen Yunzhao probably would have pointed his spear directly at the emperor.

Gu Shuqiao knew about the two's situation and that it was Lin Nan's idea, so he took Shen Yunzhao to Fuyuanlou to meet Lin Nan.

"Nan-ge'er, you scared me to death!" Shen Yunzhao was finally relieved to see that the person was alright.

"We haven't even had a chance to congratulate Brother Zhao on his upcoming marriage! It's an imperial marriage, a truly joyous occasion!"

"Thank you. Would you be willing to come and see me off on my wedding day? The Liu family is dead, and Qian-ge and the others have returned." Lin Nan was the first relative Shen Yunzhao encountered after losing her memory, and also the only one besides her husband who didn't judge her by her appearance.

"Okay," Lin Nan agreed.

At the wedding banquet of the newly appointed Duke Shen Yunzhao and the third-rank official of the Imperial Secretariat, the emperor and empress seemed to see their son Lin Nan, but before they could confirm who he was, he disappeared.

Lin Nan's ability to make the Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce bigger and stronger proved his capabilities. They could keep track of Lin Nan's whereabouts, but they never saw him again in their entire lives.

Sheng Yuan and Lin Nan held a wedding at the place where they first met.

Just the two of them.

[Ding! Target's affection level: 100%]

In this life, at the age of forty, Lin Nan handed over the Chamber of Commerce to Shen Yunzhao's daughter, and he and Sheng Yuan traveled around enjoying the scenery, living a comfortable and carefree life.

Shen Yunzhao and Gu Shuqiao had two daughters. One became the president of the First Chamber of Commerce, and the other became the renowned Protector General, succeeding Shen Yunzhao's title.

She later had another son, who became a civil servant.

The emperor was poisoned by the imperial concubine, and since she was already dead and there was no antidote, he simply died on his sickbed.

Actually, if Lin Nan had asked Sheng Yuan for help, Sheng Yuan could have saved him, but who told him to break Lin Nan's heart?

After the Crown Prince ascended the throne, Gu Shuqiao became the Crown Prince's tutor. Although he still disliked some of the current emperor's ways, he still taught the Crown Prince to be a good person.

Liang Sixian became a prince without official duties, left the capital, and went to his fiefdom with his mother.

Lin Nan would go to see him and visit him.

Because Liang Sixian had never wronged him, and because he had somehow gotten together with Qian Ge'er, and because Consort Hui treated him very well, Lin Nan recognized Consort Hui as his godmother when he was thirty years old.

Liang Sixian was also his acknowledged elder brother.

The news spread quickly throughout the Liang Dynasty.

Emperor Liang Siqi and Empress Dowager Shen also found out.

My heart is filled with endless loneliness and regret.

Everyone in this world can meet Lin Nan, except for them; they are not qualified.

Before her death, the Empress Dowager wanted to see her biological son, Lin Nan, but she never got to fulfill this wish and passed away.

Lin Nan didn't even attend the funeral.

We agreed that we would have no relationship anymore, and that means we will have no relationship anymore.

Liang Siqi's soft heart ultimately became a weapon against him, and Liang Chao almost lost his life.

Fortunately, his crown prince was well-educated by Gu Shuqiao, which saved the Liang Dynasty.

When Gu Shuqiao and Shen Yunzhao returned to the village in their later years, it had changed drastically, and many grudges had vanished with a wisp of dust.

"My husband, meeting you is the happiest thing in my life. Do you think we will meet again in the next life?"

Lin Nan lay in Sheng Yuan's arms. She and her husband had no children, but they lived a carefree and happy life together. They truly stayed together for a lifetime.

"Yes, I will." Sheng Yuan grasped Lin Nan's hand that was stroking his cheek and kissed it.

"I trust my husband..."

[Ding! Target's happiness level: 100%]

The words fell to the ground, and the person breathed their last.

[Nuonuo, detached from the world.]

[Yes, host.]

[Host detected is leaving the world.]

[Host has successfully escaped the world.]

The two bodies were discovered by a junior member of the village who had once received their help, so besides Shen Yunzhao and Gu Shuqiao, he was the one who visited them most frequently.

As soon as he entered, he saw the He couple lying in a rocking chair in the courtyard, embracing each other, and not far away there was an elderly young man leaning against a pillar.

They seemed to be either asleep or truly dead.

When Liang Siqi, who was already the retired emperor, arrived after receiving the news, the villagers had already buried the person.

He looked at the name on the stone tablet, his eyes reddening, and said regretfully, "I'm sorry..."

"Perhaps... this is the Zhao family's full revenge."

Liang Siqi turned around and saw that Gu Shuqiao, though old and frail, still retained a faint resemblance to his former handsome appearance. He smiled calmly at Liang Siqi.

Ignoring Liang Siqi's reaction, she took Shen Yunzhao's hand and left, leaving behind the words: "No one can change the past, no matter how much you regret it."
