Quick Transmigration: Refusing to Be a Victim's Child

The system paused for a moment in Zhao Keyan's mind, then immediately affirmed:

"Please rest assured, host, as long as you can successfully absorb enough luck, having as many male babies as you want in the future will not be a problem."

Zhao Keyan didn't notice anything amiss. Upon hearing this, she frowned. The thought of having to turn a dead infant into a mummified corpse and hide it in her bedroom gave her goosebumps.

She complained, "System, didn't you say that I need to gain a high enough level of favorability from the other party to seize their luck? The original protagonist is already dead, where am I supposed to get his favorability?"

The system said matter-of-factly, "Please rest assured, host. Shao Linshen is the chosen one of this world. Even if he dies, as long as you worship him according to the system's method, he will mistake you for his mother and will take whatever he wants from you."

"You mean, ghosts really do exist in this world?" Zhao Keyan was so shocked that she stood up from the couch.

His face was grim as he said, "You didn't tell me about this beforehand. If I had known, I would have preferred not to..."

Before she could finish speaking, the system interrupted her, saying, "The host can choose whether to do it or not. This system only provides solutions. You can also continue to seize fortune from the King of Qin or other members of the royal family."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Keyan dared not complain anymore.

She is now a concubine of the Prince of Qin, and when she goes out of the manor, she is accompanied by a large group of maids and nannies, so that she can interact and exchange feelings with other members of the royal family.

"Damn it, if the dog emperor weren't so old and blind, I wouldn't have had to settle for that good-for-nothing King of Qin."

Zhao Keyan, heavily pregnant, paced back and forth in the room, muttering curses incessantly.

Over the past five years, each time she stole a wisp of luck from the King of Qin, he would either suffer from bad luck for three to five days or fall seriously ill.

If she hadn't found a wandering Taoist priest back then to point the finger at Song Xiyao, saying that the other party was cursed and would bring misfortune to her husbands, and even used a few props to confirm this, she might be the one who died with her unborn child today.

After much deliberation, Zhao Keyan finally gritted her teeth, took out a small porcelain bottle from a hidden compartment by her bedside, removed the black pill inside, and swallowed it.

The medicine took effect very quickly. Zhao Keyan had only walked back and forth for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea when she realized that her skirt was very wet. So she called in the maid who was guarding the door.

"Somebody come!"

"Quickly go and summon the Prince. Tell him that I am also going into premature labor because I was so shocked and terrified when I heard the bad news that the Princess died in childbirth."

Everyone was startled upon hearing this, and immediately a young eunuch grabbed the hem of his robe and ran wildly toward the main courtyard, as if a ferocious tiger were chasing him.

Zhao Keyan was helped to lie down on the bed. Taking the opportunity, she grabbed the hand of the maid next to her and whispered:

"Xiahe, you are familiar with Xiaoxizi by the Prince's side. Quickly give him five hundred taels and make sure he steals that dead baby for me."

Chunxing and Xiahe, who were standing nearby, were so shocked by what they heard that their eyes widened and their mouths opened so wide that they looked as if they could swallow an egg.

However, both of them were servants that Zhao Keyan brought into the mansion from her maiden home, and their loyalty was beyond question. After only a moment of hesitation, they took advantage of the chaos in the room and, with the former acting as cover, quietly slipped out from a corner.

Before Xia He could even step out of the Qiushuang Courtyard, she was bumped on the head by a little eunuch running towards her.

"Oh dear, Miss Xiahe, please forgive me. I had something important to report to Madam and forgot to watch where I was going in my haste. Please forgive me, my lord."

The young eunuch kept bowing and making obeisances, sweat beading on his forehead.

Xia He saw that this person was also a eunuch serving the prince, and her displeasure softened. She casually asked:

"You're too kind, Eunuch Chen. Has something happened at the main courtyard again?"

Xiao Chen slapped his thigh and said, "That's right! Just an incense stick's time ago, a mad dog appeared out of nowhere, barged into the delivery room, cut open our princess's belly, and ran away with the little master inside."

"What did you say!"

Upon hearing Xia He's account of her return, Zhao Keyan's previously composed expression changed, and she frantically called upon the system in her mind.

"System, those stillborn babies were all carried away by wild dogs, so what should I do about the baby in my belly?"

Last time, we could blame the stillbirth on Song Xiyao, but now that she's dead, if I have another stillbirth, the prince will definitely despise me, and we won't be able to steal any more of our good fortune.

"Please remain calm, host."

The system's voice rang out at the right moment: "Since the King of Qin has already sent guards to capture that mad dog, we will eventually be able to get our hands on the original protagonist's corpse."

Your most urgent task is to summon the King of Qin and use his influence to ensure the safe delivery of your unborn child.

Zhao Keyan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and said impatiently:

"The prince's luck is already very low. If a large amount of it is extracted in a short period of time, the other party will definitely notice something is wrong. Song Xiyao is already dead..."

"You can continue to fabricate lies, whether it's Song Xiyao's ghost causing trouble or an enemy secretly casting a spell."

"As long as we can fool them for now, we can return some of the Qin King's fortune once we find the original protagonist's body."

Zhao Keyan's expression was inscrutable, and then the sharp pain in her abdomen distracted her from thinking. Not daring to waste any more time, she shouted for her servants to quickly go and invite the King of Qin.

……

On the other side, at the base of a wall outside the palace.

Shao Linshen was being carried on the back of a large, fat cat at that moment.

Two meters away from the person and the cat was an underground river leading into the palace.

The Pangu Banner pressed itself against the wall, its divine sense probing the riverbed to investigate, then it opened its eyes and said:

“Brother Shen, there’s an iron fence blocking the entrance eight meters below the river. With my current magic, it would be easy to wrap you in a bubble and corrode a hole in the fence.”

But once we enter the palace, what identity should we present ourselves to the public?

"I have a brilliant plan. Just listen to my instructions when the time comes." Shao Linshen didn't offer any further explanation.

He was extremely weak at the moment; if it weren't for his last bit of spiritual energy, he would have died several times over.

Seeing that he was not in good condition, Pangu Banner stopped talking and squeezed out a large ball of spiritual energy from its main body, which turned into an oval-shaped hollow bubble. It wrapped the baby's body on its body, tied it to the cat with spiritual energy threads, and jumped straight into the river.

The riverbed was pitch black, but the Pangu Banner moved freely through the water and soon reached the iron fence. After melting a large hole in it, it nimbly slipped inside.

"Wow--"

"Who is there?"

A splash of water attracted the attention of the Imperial Guards patrolling nearby. The group carefully inspected the river and, finding nothing amiss, slowly left.

Pangu Banner, perched on a large tree, finally breathed a sigh of relief. It nudged Shaolin Shen's arm with the tip of its tail, thinking, "Brother Shen, where should we go now?"

"Go to the Cold Palace," Shao Linshen said decisively.
