Quick Transmigration: Refusing to Be a Victim's Child

Seeing that Emperor Qian Yuan remained silent, the King of Qin felt inwardly that the matter was settled, and continued to speak eloquently:

"I am also heartbroken by the passing of Lady Song. I have been married for five years and have no children. Now that I finally have a son, I can't let him be a son born out of wedlock, can I?"

Emperor Qianyuan's face was ashen, and his gaze toward the other party began to turn cold.

Standing to the side, the chief eunuch Li Hai kept wiping away sweat in fear. Seeing that the King of Qin was still talking nonstop, his eyelids were almost twitching from blinking, but the other person still didn't react. He could only sigh helplessly.

Fortunately, this man wasn't completely stupid. When he heard that only his own voice remained in the hall, the Prince of Qin realized that Emperor Qian Yuan was staring at him with an unfriendly expression. He immediately stopped talking with a "hiccup" and turned over to kneel on the bed, unwilling to utter another word.

"Guards, the King of Qin has acted inappropriately and behaved improperly. He is hereby ordered to be confined to the palace for three months and is not allowed to step out of the palace. If he disobeys, he will be immediately demoted to a commoner."

"Here!"

At Emperor Qianyuan's command, a group of imperial guards immediately entered the hall and, without waiting for the Prince of Qin to explain, carried the man away.

After everyone left, Emperor Qianyuan summoned Li Hai and ordered him to investigate the specific cause of Princess Qin's death.

"I don't believe this is such a coincidence. In just one night, the principal wife of the Prince's mansion gave birth to a child, and the concubine also gave birth to a child. And coincidentally, one died and the other lived."

Emperor Qianyuan sat upright on the dragon throne, his eyes cold and piercing as he said:

"If this matter is truly unrelated to the Zhao family, then registering their son under the Song family's name would fulfill the King of Qin's wishes."

She's just a concubine, yet she dares to covet the position of the principal wife; it's utterly laughable.

Li Hai, kneeling on the ground, secretly glanced at Emperor Qian Yuan upon hearing this and tentatively asked:

"Your Majesty, what if this matter is related to Consort Zhao?"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, making it hard to breathe.

A moment later, Emperor Qian Yuan's voice rang out from above, carrying a chilling killing intent:

“Give them poisoned wine and exterminate their three clans.”

"Yes!" Li Hai's heart tightened, and he kowtowed to receive the order and withdrew.

***

Qin Wangfu.

Inside the Autumn Frost Courtyard.

Zhao Keyan, who was originally going crazy over the pile of shredded meat on the ground, was suddenly made to faint by the sharp buzzing of the system.

With her hands covered in blood, she hissed, "System, what's wrong with you? Can't you see I'm busy?"

Ever since giving birth last night, she had ordered someone to secretly transport the carcass of a wild dog to the next room. As soon as the King of Qin left, she immediately sent the servants away. She endured the pain of postpartum tearing and gritted her teeth as she moved step by step to the side, just to personally dig out the flesh and blood of the dead infant.

Unexpectedly, after a night, even after she emptied and chopped up the dog's entire abdomen, she still couldn't find any flesh or blood.

The system didn't care about her mood; it just popped up a panel, threw it in front of Zhao Keyan, and said impatiently:

"I'd also like to ask you what good deeds you've done. Take a look at these people's favorability ratings before you speak."

Zhao Keyan was completely bewildered by the outburst, but when she looked up, she saw the following displayed on the panel:

Emperor Qianyuan's score plummeted from 15 points to 0 points.

The King of Qin, who was obsessed with her, has now seen his favorability rating drop from 76 points to 65 points. If it drops any further, she will lose her only remaining channel for absorbing luck.

"What, what's going on?"

Zhao Keyan stared wide-eyed in disbelief, frantically pulling at her hair, trying to recall the events of the past two days, but still found no clues.

Her heart pounded with fear. This was her secret weapon for survival in ancient times; she couldn't afford to let anything happen to it.

Thinking of this, she immediately asked:

"System, could you be mistaken? Don't you know best whether I've done anything else?"

Upon hearing this, the system chip paused for a moment, but did not continue to criticize. It was bound to Zhao Keyan's soul and knew everything she had done. In the past two days, she had indeed not acted without authorization.

The system remained silent for a while before refreshing the panel after Zhao Keyan's repeated calls, and then presented a name displayed on it to the woman.

"Host, you should take a look at this first."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Keyan looked up and saw the three large characters "Shao Lin Shen" prominently displayed at the top of the favorability rating, and the other party's current favorability rating was actually -100.

"This, this is impossible."

"That brat has been eaten by dogs, how come his name is still shining brightly up there?"

Zhao Keyan shook her head in disbelief.

But the exchange system was much calmer than her, even though the facts were unbelievable—

"The problem is that the other party is still alive and well, and it seems to harbor deep malice towards the host. Given that the other party is a person of great destiny in this world, it is possible that they have the ability to know things from birth."

"So, host, you should think about how to deal with what happens next."

Zhao Keyan slumped to the ground, looking at the mess, a glint of malice flashing in her eyes, before she said coldly:

"Damn it, no wonder there weren't any bits of bone or meat in this dog's stomach."

"System, didn't you say that this old emperor couldn't have children?"

If I were to use the skill "Bewitched," I could bewitch the King of Qin into bringing poison into the palace, allowing the old emperor to slowly die from it.

"To prevent the empire from falling into the hands of other members of the imperial family, wouldn't the old emperor choose my son as the crown prince ahead of time?"

After all, according to the plot of the book, none of the old emperor's half-brothers survived when he tried to seize the throne.

As for the King of Qin, it was only because the other party was young at the time and was his own brother that he used the King of Qin to establish his image as a brother who was friendly and respectful to his brothers, in order to avoid being accused of being cold-hearted by the court officials and the people.

As Zhao Keyan spoke, she didn't forget to take out the poison she had previously exchanged from her system space.

It was a reddish-brown pill that was only half left. It would not be poisonous when used alone; on the contrary, it could refresh the mind, calm the nerves, and nourish the skin.

However, once it comes into contact with tea, it will immediately dissolve completely, turning into a wisp of colorless and odorless poisonous smoke, which will attach to the person carrying Ning Lanxiang, causing them to slowly die from poisoning, just like that short-lived Song Shi.

The system core operated for a moment and then said quietly, "The host can try, but you don't have any extra luck points to exchange for another fragrance card. Without this, the poisonous smoke will spread indiscriminately."

Zhao Keyan suffered a sudden heart attack, and she said angrily and embarrassedly:

"Can't you let me owe you for now? Once my son becomes the crown prince, won't he be in charge of the entire Great Yong dynasty?"

"Don't even mention a mere five points of luck; even fifty or five hundred points would be a piece of cake."

Upon hearing this, the exchange system began to hesitate.

In fact, every time Zhao Keyan exchanged items, it kept most of its luck points. If the plan succeeded, it wouldn't mind spending those two extra luck points.

But once she opened her mouth, the system feared that this woman would take advantage of it and always have designs on its things.

After all, if this woman weren't selfish, ruthless, and greedy enough, she wouldn't be able to be bound to it.

Zhao Keyan was unaware of the system's true intentions. Seeing that it remained silent, she could only keep urging it on.

Within his soul, a small dot emitting a reddish-black light flickered before speaking:

"Yes, but the host must use their own luck as collateral. If the repayment is not successful within the specified time, ten times the luck points will be deducted."

When her own interests were involved, a fleeting hint of wariness crossed Zhao Keyan's face, but in order to become Empress Dowager and enjoy unparalleled wealth and glory, she gritted her teeth and nodded.

"Okay, you can deduct..."

Unfortunately, before she could finish speaking, she was dragged out by several maids who suddenly burst into the room.

"What do you want? I am the concubine of the King of Qin."

Looking at this group of unfamiliar servants, Zhao Keyan was furious, and even as she struggled, she didn't forget to shout for help.

Her cries echoed through the courtyard, sharp and piercing, yet not a single maid or guard came to her aid.

"Alright, stop wailing. We servants know your identity."

The elderly woman at the head of the group, with a stern face and composed demeanor, said:

"We are here on the orders of Her Majesty the Empress to take you to Baiyun Temple outside the city to chant sutras for the Princess Qin. We also want to give you, Consort Zhao, some peace of mind and a chance to relearn the proper etiquette."

As the old woman spoke, she deliberately glanced at Zhao Keyan from head to toe, and seeing the girl covered in blood and flesh stains, she covered her nose and uttered a sarcastic remark:

"At that time, the high monks in the temple can also exorcise evil spirits for you."
