Rebirth of the Beautiful Repaying Gratitude: Quick Transmigration and Childbirth System

Xuanyuan Che's gaze lingered on Hongyu for a moment, and his cold eyes seemed to be able to see through her lies.

He knew very well that Xiao Rongle was behind this conspiracy. Even if Hongyu was willing to take full responsibility, he had to give Xiao Rongle the punishment he deserved to serve as a warning to others.

"Come here, take him away and interrogate him strictly. If his confession is consistent with the known facts, he will be hanged immediately. All those involved will be beaten to death without mercy."

His voice was cold and decisive, and he would not tolerate any rebuttal.

As Hongyu was dragged away, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.

Xiao Rongle's heart sank to the bottom. She knew that the emperor was really angry this time.

She tried hard to maintain her composure, but her eyes showed pleading and her voice was tearful.

"Your Majesty, I was not strict with my subordinates. I was ill recently and failed to notice Hongyu, who did such a vicious thing. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

Xuanyuan Che's eyes remained cold and there was no wavering at all.

"My Lady, have you forgotten what I said before? I once said that if you harm concubines again, you will no longer be fit to manage the harem."

Your Majesty, I really know nothing. I am willing to be confined to my palace for three months and fined for three years. I only ask Your Majesty not to deprive me of my royal rights."

Concubine Xiao knelt forward, tightly grasped the emperor's clothes, and cried and begged.

Xuanyuan Che looked at Xiao Rongle and decided that it was impossible to change it.

"Noble Concubine Xiao Rongle, due to her negligence in managing the harem and her laxity in controlling her subordinates, has led to many incidents of concubines being harmed. She has now been demoted to a concubine and deprived of her palace rights. Concubine Li will temporarily take over the management of the harem."

Xuanyuan Che's voice was cold and ruthless, as chilling as ice.

Concubine Xiao's face was pale. She knelt down and crawled to Xuanyuan Che's feet desperately, crying out at the top of her lungs.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me this time! For the sake of our past friendship and our lost child, you can't do this to me!"

Xuanyuan Che had a blank expression on his face, his eyes were as cold as a knife, as if they could penetrate people's hearts.

"Xiao Rongle, I was so lenient with you because of my unborn child. But instead of repenting, you became even more vicious and cruel."

Xiao Rongle had a mental breakdown. She couldn't understand or accept it all.

"Your Majesty, why? Why can't you be tolerant this time? Why are you so different to her? I am the most special one. Only I can give birth to children for you, and only I love you with all my heart!" Her voice was full of unwillingness and anger.

Concubine Li, who was sitting nearby, had just heard that the emperor asked her to manage the harem, and she felt mixed emotions.

But she no longer wanted to give Xiao Rongle a chance to beg for mercy.

Concubine Li stood up gracefully and saluted Xuanyuan Che.

"I accept your order and thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

Xiao Rongle suddenly turned his head and glared at Concubine Li, his eyes burning with rage and his voice was sharp and piercing.

"Concubine Li, you are such a sinister woman! You kept silent for so many years, just waiting for today to take advantage of my misfortune!"

Liu Qianyu was like a bystander who stayed out of the matter. She watched this palace drama quietly.

She sneered, Xiao Rongle, this is just the beginning.

"Princess Chun is kindhearted, gentle and virtuous, but she has suffered many unexpected disasters recently. To comfort her, I have promoted her to Consort Chun."

Xuanyuan Che turned his gaze gently to Liu Qianyu, his words filled with care.

When these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked. The concubines looked at each other, and although they were jealous, they had to come forward to congratulate.

Liu Qianyu looked at Xuanyuan Che in a daze.

Is this bastard trying to increase her hatred to the maximum?

She was promoted to the position of royal concubine right after being demoted!

All right. I was just worrying about the next step, how to deal with the imperial concubine, and here comes an assist.

Thinking of this, she gave Xuanyuan Che a sweet smile in response.

Xuanyuan Che's mouth corners rose unconsciously, and his mood seemed to become happier.

"Well, I still have many affairs to deal with in my previous dynasty, so let's all go."

Xuanyuan Che waved his hand and ended the farce.

He led the palace servants away, leaving the whole hall filled with astonishment and resentment.

Liu Qianyu was too lazy to respond to the congratulations and greetings from other concubines, and hurriedly took Lianxin back to Yaochi Palace.

The next day, several concubines who were on good terms with Concubine Li were in Hibiscus Palace.

Sitting together, drinking tea and chatting, the topic naturally cannot be avoided, the sudden incident yesterday.

"It's only been a short time, and you've already been crowned a concubine?"

Lady Guo gently waved her round fan, her eyes filled with both envy and a hint of bitterness.

"That's right, it's only been three months, this farm girl is so amazing!"

"Back then, Concubine Xiao was promoted because she was pregnant with a dragon heir. Now, Concubine Chun has been promoted to a concubine without even knowing she is pregnant. It's really unpredictable."

"I thought the imperial concubine's favor would continue, but now she has met her match. I just don't know how long this favor will last." An elderly concubine sighed.

"Fortunately, the emperor gave the power of the palace to Concubine Li, so we still have some hope."

"It must be given to Sister Li Fei. Sister has been the Crown Prince's concubine since the Qiandi Palace, and father is also highly regarded by the Emperor. If it weren't for Concubine Xiao's pressure over the years, she would have stopped there."

Concubine Li looked at them, gently put down the teacup, and her eyes were calm.

"Alright, the more you talk, the better. Concubine Chun is favored because of her own ability. As long as she doesn't take advantage of the emperor's favor and act arrogantly, we won't have such a hard time."

The concubines who were originally chattering suddenly became silent. I hope so.

At the same time, in the imperial study room.

Xuanyuan Che was immersed in government affairs, while Liu Qianyu was sitting leisurely on the soft couch beside him.

Sometimes she would flip through the travel notes in her hand, and sometimes she would taste the exquisite snacks.

The occasional chuckle was like a spring breeze, adding a bit of vitality and vigor to the dull imperial study.

Unlike the tense and cold atmosphere in the imperial study a while ago, the palace servants were now much more relaxed in doing their work.

The ministers of the previous dynasty also keenly noticed the emperor's change of mood, and took this opportunity to bring up the matter of adopting a son again.

Eunuch Chen Dehai stood aside, his eyes occasionally falling on the two people who were cuddling together.

Since the house arrest and the poisonous snake incident, the emperor has become even more fond of Concubine Chun. He stays in the Yaochi Palace every day and treats the harem as a mere formality.

And Concubine Chun seemed to have changed as well, as if she had become more... more clingy!

Concubine Chun no longer just stayed in the Yaochi Palace as she did before, waiting for the emperor to arrive.

It is now night in the Yao Chi Palace, and the emperor is tossing me around. I sleep in the morning and stick to the emperor in the afternoon.

Either the emperor was in the Yao Chi Palace, accompanying her on the swing and strolling in the garden, or she was in the imperial study, accompanying the emperor to review memorials.

She was supposed to be there to help, but in the end, she only helped to grind the ink for a quarter of an hour before she said she was tired. Then she lay on the couch, reading storybooks and travel notes, eating snacks and fruits, and then going to sleep.

Occasionally, she would share interesting stories from books with the emperor, and the emperor indulged her.

When the Emperor put Concubine Chun under house arrest last month, he was like a furious lion, but now he seems to have been stroked and his fur has been smoothed down.

Eunuch Chen Dehai felt a toothache when he saw the two people being so affectionate.

But the concubines in the harem are probably going to get restless again.

The harem may seem calm on the surface, but in reality, there may be turmoil brewing secretly.

As he was thinking, Chen Dehai added a plate of fresh fruits to the little ancestor who was reading storybooks.

While Xuanyuan Che was reviewing the memorials, he looked up at Liu Qianyu lying on the couch, and his heart was filled with tenderness.

He found that the little thing had become bolder and more clingy.

But he was also happy to indulge her and liked her authenticity.

She just stayed by his side, looking carefree and free, and he was very happy about it.

Xuanyuan Che heard the little thing giggling after seeing something funny.

He shook his head helplessly, picked up the next memorial, and saw that it was another memorial requesting adoption. He suddenly felt annoyed.

He looked up at Liu Qianyu.

She was wearing a light blue gauze brocade dress, with her slender legs raised, lying on a fluffy cushion reading a book.

As her little feet swayed, the hem of her skirt gently dragged on the ground. The color was as elegant as morning mist, and her graceful figure was vaguely visible under the veil.

A few strands of black hair inadvertently fell on her shoulders, adding a touch of laziness to her style.

With a smile on her lips, she looks like a beautiful and lively fairy in spring.

Xuanyuan Che looked at her and thought, how nice it would be to have a child with her.
