Quick Transmigration: The main focus is on speed.

Liu Ruyan is the eldest daughter of Vice Minister Liu. In addition to her older brother, Liu Ruyan also has a younger sister, Liu Ruyue.

The two sisters are only a year apart, so it's inevitable that they would compare and compete with each other. However, Liu Ruyan considers herself the elder sister and doesn't argue with Liu Ruyue much. Over time, this has only fueled Liu Ruyue's arrogance, making her believe that all good things should belong to her, and that she should take everything good and possess it for herself, including Liu Ruyan's fiancé, the Third Prince.

In order to marry the Third Prince, Liu Ruyue tried countless methods, but she never had the chance to get close to him.

In fact, if Liu Ruyue had lowered her stance and deliberately seduced him, she might have succeeded. However, in that case, Liu Ruyue would only become a concubine in the Third Prince's harem, and probably wouldn't even become a secondary consort.

Liu Ruyue didn't love the Third Prince as a person; she only loved the position of the Third Prince's consort. Therefore, any attempt to seduce him was rejected by her early on.

The Third Prince wasn't stupid; he wouldn't ruin his reputation for a woman, a fact that Liu Ruyue understood perfectly well.

After several attempts, Liu Ruyue set her sights on Liu Ruyan.

During a flower-viewing banquet, Liu Ruyan accidentally got her clothes wet. When she went to her room to change, she was drugged with aphrodisiac. When she woke up, there was a naked man lying next to her, and she herself was also disheveled.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and the two looked confused and infatuated, especially her bright red mandarin duck bodice still hanging on the man's waist, which was clearly seen by the women.

Good deeds are hard to spread far, but bad deeds spread quickly.

In less than half a day, even the emperor in the palace had heard about it.

How could a prince's consort be a withered flower? Fortunately, the imperial decree that granted the marriage did not mention Liu Ruyan, the legitimate daughter of the Liu family, but only said that she was the legitimate daughter of the Liu family. Thus, Liu Ruyue married the third prince as she wished.

Liu Ruyan married the man who had shared a bed with her that day.

On her wedding day, Liu Ruyan looked more like she was going to a funeral than to get married. With a blank expression, she married into the Qi family in a half-dead state.

The Qi family has been military families for generations. Qi's father and elder brother have always guarded the border, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them the war gods of the Lan Kingdom. The current emperor is not a scheming and opportunistic person. He doesn't believe in the saying "once the rabbit is caught, the hunting dog is cooked," and he has no fear of the Qi family.

Logically speaking, with a great general as a father and a future great general as an elder brother, the original owner could have lived a peaceful and smooth life simply by relying on his father and brother. However, he never expected to fall into Liu Ruyan's hands.

That's right, the original owner was the one who was discovered to have an affair with Liu Ruyan.

Since things had come to this point, and everything that was going to happen had already happened, the original owner couldn't just abandon Liu Ruyan, so in the end, he still married her.

She thought she could forget what happened that day and live a good life with him. But Liu Ruyan always felt that the original owner had schemed against her, because in the eyes of outsiders, the original owner was a playboy who frequented brothels all day long.

The original owner was also very resentful. He was also tricked that day, okay? Everyone has their first time, so what? Does it mean that Liu Ruyan's first time is precious, but his first time is worthless?

Liu Ruyan gave the original owner a cold shoulder, refusing to let him into the house on his wedding day. The original owner wasn't willing to suffer this humiliation, so that night he slept with the maid who had served him for many years, and afterwards he never touched Liu Ruyan again.

As she reached middle age, seeing her family surrounded by offspring, none of whom were her own, Liu Ruyan finally regretted her actions. However, the original owner of the house had long forgotten that there was such a person as Liu Ruyan in the house, and was not even willing to put on a show of it.

After Liu Ruyan's death, she harbored deep resentment and was reborn, but the timing was wrong; everything had already happened. Even though Liu Ruyan had a great opportunity and was bound to a mustard seed space containing all sorts of pills.

She didn't hate Liu Ruyue and the Third Prince who schemed against her, nor did she hate Liu's parents who knew the scheme but did nothing to stop it. Instead, she hated the original owner of the body who was schemed against just like her.

Liu Ruyan used a slow-acting poison in her spatial dimension to kill Qi's father and elder brother. The original owner was also drugged by Liu Ruyan, leaving her weak all over. In order to seek excitement, Liu Ruyan even brought her lover in front of the original owner. The two of them made love in front of the original owner, and the original owner did not get angry. This made Liu Ruyan even more convinced that the original owner was a heartless person.

To enrage the original owner, Liu Ruyan revealed the truth about how she had caused the deaths of Qi's father, elder brother, sister-in-law, and nephew, describing it vividly, especially their miserable and unbearable pain. The original owner was so enraged that her eyes widened in fury, and she died of anger caused by Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan, pregnant with an illegitimate child, inherited the Qi family estate. Later, the third prince, relying on the Qi family's military power, successfully ascended the throne, and Liu Ruyue was made empress. Because of the past events and the letter in Qi's father's handwriting that Liu Ruyan produced during the succession struggle, the emperor and empress continued to look after Liu Ruyan.

The Liu family was a close-knit group, with some receiving titles and others becoming officials. It was the Qi family who suffered the most, becoming their victims.

"It's so hot, please help me..."

As soon as Qi Yuan arrived, he heard Liu Ruyan's infatuated voice, and soon a pair of soft, boneless hands climbed onto Qi Yuan's chest.

"Slap!" Qi Yuan shoved Liu Ruyan away, straightened his collar which Liu Ruyan had ruffled, swallowed an antidote pill to suppress the heat in his body, and without even glancing at Liu Ruyan, turned and left the room.

Liu Ruyan, who had been pushed to the ground, writhed and twisted her waist, her entire body pressed against the ground, trying to cool down the burning sensation within her. If someone were to push open the door at this moment, they would surely see the eldest daughter of Minister Liu writhing on the ground like a snake or an ant.

A moment later, the door to the side room was opened, and two heavy objects fell to the ground.

Liu Ruyan, who was still wriggling on the ground, noticed someone coming and twisted her body toward that direction.

Qi Yuan stuffed a potent aphrodisiac into the mouths of the Third Prince and Liu Ruyue.

"I almost forgot about you." Liu Ruyan's hand touched Qi Yuan's ankle, and only then did Qi Yuan remember that Liu Ruyan had a spatial dimension.

Such a person doesn't need any special abilities; they might as well just give their pets extra treats.

Just then, Liu Ruyan's willpower was extremely weak. In an instant, her space was stripped away and thrown into the system space, becoming a snack for the animal systems.

The two people on the ground were still unconscious, like dead dogs. Qi Yuan slapped them on the face several times. When he realized that they were about to open their eyes, he pushed Liu Ruyan in front of them.

The moment they were jolted awake, the Third Prince and Liu Ruyue were about to get angry when they were confronted by Liu Ruyan's face, magnified many times over.

The moment Liu Ruyan touched them, their eyes changed; a sharp glint flashed in their eyes, replaced by a look of infatuation and desire.

Qi Yuan didn't linger. After confirming that everyone was awake, he left the room.

Fifteen minutes later, the door to the side room was pushed open.

At first, no one could clearly see the Third Prince's face, but they could vaguely see the faces of Liu Ruyan and Liu Ruyue, and they all showed expressions of watching a good show.

Everyone knows the Third Prince has the best chance of inheriting the throne, and everyone wants to rise to the top in one step. The fastest way is to marry off their daughter. No one knows what stroke of luck the Liu family's eldest daughter had to be betrothed to the Third Prince by the Emperor. This has made the prominent families in the capital with daughters extremely jealous, and they wish this marriage would fall through so that their daughters could have a chance to take his place.

"Oh! The Liu family is truly well-mannered. Isn't this Ehuang and Nüying?"

"Could this be the secret to Minister Liu's rise to power?"

"Hahaha, your mouths are amazing..."

The ladies stepped forward to see who the male protagonist was, but as they got closer, they realized something was wrong. Their faces turned pale, and they wished they had never said those words. How could they speak so carelessly about royal matters?

However, since things have come to this point, it's impossible to get away with it now. It's better to drag more people down with us, since the law doesn't punish everyone.

The ladies exchanged a glance, reached a consensus, summoned a maid, whispered a few words in the maid's ear, and then the maid dispersed. The ladies pretended not to have noticed anything and quietly left the room, but did not close the door for the three of them.

Besides the ladies of various families, most of the guests at the flower-viewing banquet were unmarried young ladies and gentlemen, and inevitably some of them were unruly and fearless.

Thanks to the ladies, these young ladies and gentlemen were also led to the side room. Hearing the strange noises inside, some of the bolder ones actually went in to see what was going on.

"Third Prince?!" This person had a loud voice, completely out of control, and his voice was deafening. With just one sentence, the young ladies and gentlemen waiting outside disregarded the rules and barged in.

"Huh? Is this Miss Liu?"

……

The young ladies and gentlemen were inexperienced in the ways of the world. Although they understood the intrigues and power struggles in the inner quarters, they were still bound by rules and regulations. It was difficult for them to blurt out any jokes.

"Why aren't you all admiring the flowers in front? What are you all doing here?" The ladies, hearing the exclamations of the children, slowly walked in.

When they saw Liu Ruyan and the other two, they even exclaimed in surprise, as if they had just seen them. Although their acting skills were not good, these inexperienced children were more than capable of it.

"Get out of here! Have some self-control! Get out of here!"

"Guards, quickly escort these young ladies and gentlemen out..."

Once one of the ladies spoke, the others quickly followed suit.

Although the young ladies still wanted to watch the excitement, their mothers had already spoken, so staying any longer wouldn't work.

They went out in twos and threes, and within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the story of the two young ladies of the Liu family, Ehuang and Nüying, spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.

When the three woke up, the sun was already high in the sky the next day.

"Ah!" Liu Ruyan was the first to wake up and cried out in surprise when she saw the Third Prince lying beside her.

"Ah!" Liu Ruyan's voice startled Liu Ruyue, who was on the other side of the Third Prince. Hearing the woman's voice, Liu Ruyue turned her head and saw the Third Prince, and also cried out in surprise.

"What's all the noise about!" The Third Prince, seemingly used to the woman's screams, yelled and then turned over and went back to sleep.

Liu Ruyue and Liu Ruyan, propped up on their own two feet, looked at each other in shock across the Third Prince, but neither of them uttered a sound.

The Third Prince was awakened by the eunuch who delivered the imperial decree. This shameful incident, regardless of whether it was a scheme or not, proves the Third Prince's incompetence.

"Your Majesty, someone from the palace has arrived! Please wake up!" The personal eunuch rushed in as soon as he saw the chief eunuch by the emperor's side appear with two imperial edicts, not caring whether he would anger the third prince, and said anxiously.

"The Imperial Palace?" Upon hearing these two words, the Third Prince immediately snapped out of his daze, quickly got up and went out to receive the imperial decree, completely unaware that there were two women beside him.

"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: My third son should uphold the imperial family's style, cultivate his character and virtue, and assist the nation. However, today I have heard that your conduct is flawed, arrogant and reckless... disregarding etiquette and law... I hope you will reflect on your actions... This is the decree."

After the head eunuch finished reading the imperial decree, the Third Prince was still in a daze. What was going on? What did his father mean? What did he mean by "lacking in virtue"? "Disobeying etiquette"?

Just as the Third Prince was about to ask the head eunuch, he saw him pull out another imperial edict.

"By the grace of Heaven... the second daughter of the Liu family shall be made a concubine of the Third Prince... So be it." Only then did the Third Prince realize that there were two women kneeling on his left and right.

"You?" The Third Prince was stunned. He accepted the imperial decree in a daze and went back to his residence to reflect on his actions.

The two daughters of the Liu family also returned home. As soon as they entered the door, they saw their father sighing and looking at them with a disappointed expression.

"Father, it was my fault for being caught off guard and being tricked. Please don't get upset, it will break my heart." Liu Ruyue knew exactly how to play the innocent card and take the blame before Liu Ruyan could speak. This way, she would be seen as someone who was willing to take responsibility, and she knew that her father liked people like that.
