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

Chapter 8: The Romantic Emperor vs. the Gratitude of the Peasant Girl (8)

In this tense and solemn atmosphere, Concubine Wan was escorted into the palace by several eunuchs.

She was no longer as gorgeous as before and looked disheveled, with her hair hanging messily around her face.

She knelt on the ground, her voice trembling as she tried her best to defend her innocence.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent! I really did not do those things!"

Xuanyuan Che's eyes were stern and he turned a deaf ear to Concubine Wan's crying.

With a wave of his hand, he placed the palace maids' testimony in front of Concubine Wan.

Wanpin read the testimonies one by one with trembling hands, and the despair in her heart surged like a tide.

She knew that all her excuses were in vain.

"Your Majesty, since Concubine Chun entered the palace, you have only been to Yaochi Palace. I was just jealous and did something wrong."

"Oh, are you blaming me? Is this why you hurt people?"

"I dare not. I just love Your Majesty and want you to pamper me more. Concubine Chun is fine. Please have mercy on me and spare me!"

Concubine Wan completely collapsed, tears rolling down her cheeks like beads falling from a broken string.

Xuanyuan Che's expression did not ease, but became even colder.

"Are there any other people involved? Is there anyone behind the scenes?"

Xuanyuan Che's voice was as cold as ice.

Wanpin's eyes were filled with fear. She was trembling, not knowing how to answer.

At this time, Concubine Xiao interrupted at the right time, her voice gentle and concerned.

"Sister, just tell the truth. The Emperor and I will make the decision for you."

Concubine Xiao looked at Concubine Wan, and her eyes seemed to hint at something.

Wanpin's heart was in a mess. She understood that the imperial concubine wanted her to admit everything, and she was struggling inside.

Over the years, it was thanks to the Imperial Concubine that she was able to have a place in the harem and be promoted to the position of imperial concubine.

The emperor dotes on the imperial concubine, so he should listen to what the imperial concubine says, and the imperial concubine will definitely restore his favor.

Wanpin felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw, and a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, I know I am guilty... No one else was involved in this matter, and there is no one behind it. All the blame lies with me..."

Wanpin's voice was as thin as a thread and she no longer had the strength to beg for mercy.

Xuanyuan Che frowned, his eyes moving between Wanpin and Guifei, and he had some guesses about the ins and outs of the matter.

He knew very well that the complications in the harem were far from as simple as they appeared on the surface.

"Pass the order down, demote Wanpin to a concubine and banish her to the cold palace! All those involved in the case will be beaten to death!"

The eunuchs acted quickly and dragged away Concubine Wan, who was lying limp on the ground.

As Wanpin's crying gradually faded away, the palace returned to peace.

Liu Qianyu witnessed all this and felt mixed emotions.

Xuanyuan Che turned to the imperial concubine, his tone full of warning.

"My noble concubine, you need to take good care of the harem and make sure no one harms concubines in the harem. If this happens again, you don't have to take care of the harem anymore."

Concubine Xiao felt a surge of resentment and jealousy in her heart, but she knew that she couldn't show it now.

She forced a smile and bowed respectfully.

"I obey my orders."

"Princess Chun was frightened. I will take her back to Yaochi Palace first."

After Xuanyuan Che finished speaking, he took Liu Qianyu away.

The resentment and jealousy in Concubine Xiao's heart burned like a raging fire.

She grabbed the maid Hongyu's arm tightly, her nails digging into the flesh.

She looked at the emperor and Concubine Chun as they walked away together, and asked her with gritted teeth.

"The Emperor is so partial to this bitch?"

Hongyu didn't dare to cry out in pain and hurried to comfort her.

"Your Highness, the Emperor loves you the most. You are the only one who has borne the Emperor's child. Your status is unmatched. The others are just the Emperor's whim."

After hearing Hongyu's words, the imperial concubine felt a little comforted.

Yes, I am the only one who can give birth to a child for the emperor.

This honor cannot be replaced by anyone.

Liu Qianyu, I will not let you go! She swore secretly.

"My Lady, do you want to punish Concubine Wan?"

Hongyu was in great pain and quickly changed the subject.

The imperial concubine then put down her hand. She glanced at Hongyu beside her with a vicious look on her face.

"Keep it clean."

Hongyu understood and immediately bowed to accept the order.

"My lady, I understand what you mean. I will make her shut up forever."

The imperial concubine nodded with satisfaction and sneered.

She knew that Hongyu's methods were always ruthless and efficient, and she would never let her down.

The moon was hanging high in the sky, and the cold palace was filled with gloom and loneliness.

Lin Wan'er curled up on a tattered wooden bed.

Surrounded by mottled walls and cobwebs, everything looked so desolate.

She sat with her knees hugged, her eyes empty, her thoughts in a trance, recalling the past.

Back then, she was selected as the legitimate daughter of a court official and entered the palace.

She fully believed that with her beauty and liveliness, she would be the only one to win the emperor's favor.

At that time, the imperial concubine was just a merchant's daughter, a talent of lower status, but because she was pregnant, she was named an imperial concubine and was extremely favored.

In order to get promoted, he had no choice but to curry favor with this merchant girl and help her do all kinds of bad things.

Now she has been demoted to a concubine and banished to the cold palace. Thinking of this, she can't help but wet her clothes with tears. She can only hope that the imperial concubine can rescue her as soon as possible.

Just then, the sound of light footsteps outside the door broke the silence in the room.

Lin Wan'er looked up and saw two eunuchs slowly walking in. One of them was holding a long rope in his hand and had a cold expression on his face.

"Lin promised, we will come and give you a ride."

The eunuch's voice was cold and shrill, like a judge reading out a death sentence.

Lin Wan'er suddenly got out of bed, fear flashing in her eyes.

"Who asked you to come? The emperor didn't say he wanted to kill me. The imperial concubine will save me. The imperial concubine will not let you go!"

The other eunuch had a look of mockery on his face.

"You still can't figure out the situation, no wonder you were banished to the cold palace. Lin promised, you, don't expect anyone to come and save you."

"Impossible! I want to see the emperor! I want to see the emperor!" Lin Wan'er rushed out the door frantically.

"My lord, please stop dreaming."

The two eunuchs quickly chased after her and caught her.

Lin Wan'er didn't understand anything at this time. She struggled desperately, looking crazy.

"Hahaha, Xiao Rongle, you vicious woman! No wonder you can't give birth to your child, this is your retribution! I curse you to die a miserable death!"

Her curses echoed in the empty cold palace, carrying with them endless hatred and unwillingness.

The eunuch holding the rope shook his head, as if he was accustomed to this kind of curse.

"Your Highness, please save your energy. In this palace, life and death are just a matter of words. Please be decent and don't embarrass us."

He stepped forward without saying anything, and the rope in his hand wrapped around Wanpin's neck like a poisonous snake.

Lin Wan'er struggled and grabbed at things with her hands, but it was no use. She could only watch helplessly as her life slipped away bit by bit.

Her eyes were filled with resentment and despair, and tears flowed down her cheeks.

Until the last moment, the cold faces of the two eunuchs were still reflected in his pupils.

Everything returned to calm. Two eunuchs hung Concubine Wan's body on the beam of the house, in a posture that looked like suicide.

He then took out a "letter of repentance" that he had prepared long ago and placed it on the bed where Lin Wan'er had just sat.

After doing all this, the two eunuchs looked at each other, closed the door and left.
