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

Yongfu Palace, inside the main hall.

The dappled sunlight and the magnificent decorations in the hall complement each other, but it seems difficult to dispel the tension and depression that permeates the place.

Murong Di Ze sat upright on the dragon throne, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, his majesty was inviolable.

His face was as cold as ice, and his eyes were as sharp as a hawk as he examined the people kneeling below.

Empress Dowager Heyi sat beside the emperor, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with pearls and jade on her head gleaming slightly in the sunlight, but her eyes were full of grief and complexity.

Queen Zhou Jinyu was dressed in an intricate and gorgeous phoenix robe, surrounded by pearls and jade. Although her face looked haggard due to the worries of recent days, she still tried to straighten her back, trying to maintain her last bit of dignity.

Her eyes wavered between despair and unwillingness, and sometimes flashed with hatred.

Ji Rui's voice was as loud as a bell, and every word was sonorous and powerful as he read out the results of the Dali Temple's investigation.

"The Dali Temple has conducted a thorough investigation and collected evidence, and has now found out that the assassination incident in Jiangnan was actually a conspiracy carefully planned by Empress Zhou Jinyu and her mother's family to eliminate dissidents and consolidate power."

"In addition, the false accusation against the Imperial Concubine during the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was also instigated by Empress Zhou Jinyu."

"Even worse, Empress Zhou Jinyu, in order to secure her own position as empress, did not hesitate to harm the royal heir, causing the Imperial Noble Consort to have a miscarriage."

"To summarize, the Dali Temple has determined that the crimes committed by Empress Zhou Jinyu and her maternal family are beyond doubt and the evidence is complete and sufficient."

After Ji Rui finished speaking, the hall fell silent. Everyone's eyes were focused on Queen Zhou Jinyu, and the atmosphere was depressing and tense.

Empress Dowager He Yi was so furious that she couldn't hold back any longer.

She slammed the armrest and stood up suddenly, her voice trembling with anger.

"What a queen, what a Zhou Jinyu! I have treated you well, why are you so cruel? On the surface, you are a virtuous queen who devotes herself to worshipping Buddha, but behind the scenes, you are as vicious as a snake."

"You only care about your family's interests. Have you ever considered the emperor? I was so blind to choose you as the queen!"

Queen Zhou Jinyu laughed loudly towards the sky, her laughter mixed with bitterness, madness and irony.

"Hahaha... The Queen Mother is wrong. Who in the harem is not cruel?"

"This beloved daughter of the Emperor is a thousand times more vicious than me! For the position of Empress, she is willing to abandon even her own flesh and blood. Do you know that?"

Murong Di Ze stared at Zhou Jinyu coldly, his eyes seemed as piercing as a thousand-year-old ice, sharp as a knife, piercing straight into the queen's heart, making her tremble involuntarily.

"You don't understand her at all. Status and position are nothing to her. If I hadn't begged her, she would never have set foot in this harem."

A hint of surprise flashed across Zhou Jinyu's eyes, and then he laughed even more crazily, as if he wanted to vent all his resentment and hatred.

"Haha, what a great saying, 'power and status are nothing but floating clouds'! If that were true, why did she enter the palace? Why did she fight with me?"

"It's just that you are willing to believe her! But so what? I am the legal wife after all! Hahahaha~"

Murong Dize's eyes suddenly became sharp. He waved his sleeves violently, and the files on the table scattered all over the floor with a "rustling" sound.

The entire hall was in complete silence, with only the sound of papers falling to the ground being heard.

"Don't slander my Imperial Concubine!"

Murong Di Ze's voice was low and cold, like the chill wind in the early morning of winter, penetrating the skin and reaching the bone marrow, making people shiver involuntarily.

"Pass on my order! Zhou Jinyu, as the Queen Mother, has no regard for her role as the mother of the country, is cruel and vicious, and is guilty of a heinous crime. She will be taken to the cold palace immediately, and given a piece of white silk, to end her life!"

"His mother's family, the Zhou family, will be severely punished according to the law. Those who are not involved will be stripped of their titles, demoted to commoners, and exiled three thousand miles away, never to return to the capital!"

Zhou Jinyu finally collapsed and sat on the ground in despair, tears mixed with resentment rolling down her cheeks.

"Emperor, how could you do this to me... We have been married for many years, yet you are so heartless!"

Murong Di Ze stared at her with a cold and distant look. There was no trace of emotion in his deep eyes.

His tone was calm and indifferent, and every word was clear and indifferent.

"Heartless? You were the first to betray the relationship between husband and wife, and the demeanor of the Queen Mother. You touched my bottom line! The consequences today are all caused by your past actions."

Zhou Jinyu closed her eyes and let the tears fall silently.

She has lost her former edge and pride, leaving only endless despair and regret.

She knew that her life would end in tragedy.

The concubines kneeling below were either shocked or relieved, each with mixed feelings, but no one dared to say a word.

Murong Di Ze did not look at Zhou Jinyu again, but just glanced coldly at the concubines kneeling below.

"You concubines may have been innocently implicated, or you may have done something wrong. I am reluctant to delve into this because of our old friendship. I will now give you gold, silver, and jewelry. Those who wish to return home may receive the reward and leave the palace; those who do not wish to leave will be moved to a palace in the suburbs to retire."

The concubines looked at each other, some were filled with gratitude, ready to leave this magnificent cage; others were hesitant, full of fear for the unknown future.

But no matter what, they all understood that the emperor's order could not be disobeyed, so they could only kowtow and express their gratitude, secretly rejoicing in their hearts that they were able to escape this storm in the harem.

"Your Majesty's grace is so great, and I am grateful to you."

Although the concubines' voices were soft, they were trembling a little. They were worried about their unknown fate, but also relieved about past grudges.

For them who had not been favored for more than ten years, this magnificent palace was both a symbol of glory and a cage of bondage.

Now, finally free, whether choosing to return home to resume ordinary life, or moving to a palace in the suburbs to seek a moment of peace, is an escape and rebirth from the past life.

* * *

The emperor cleansed the harem with thundering means, sentenced Queen Zhou Jinyu to death, and dismissed the concubines. The Zhou family, which had been glorious for three dynasties, fell, causing quite a stir in the court and the country.

People were talking about it, but they had to admit that this change brought peace and clarity.

Time flies, and half a year goes by in a flash. Murong Di Ze is eager to give Liu Qianyu a grand wedding.

But Liu Qianyu refused. She just wanted to hold a simple and warm ceremony, a wedding with only her family.

Inside the Glass Fairyland Palace, the newly decorated palace is decorated in festive red, looking like a dream.

Liu Qianyu, wearing a specially made gorgeous wedding dress, stood quietly in front of the bronze mirror, allowing the palace maids to carefully dress her.

Every stitch and thread on the wedding dress sparkled with brilliant light, making her look even more beautiful and extraordinary.

Just as everyone was immersed in Liu Qianyu's peerless beauty, Murong Di Ze walked in quietly.

He waved his hand to signal everyone to leave, and suddenly they were the only two left in the room.

"It's not the auspicious time yet, why are you here at this time?"

Liu Qianyu asked him puzzledly, shouldn't he wait until they arrived in time before picking her up to go to the wedding ceremony?
