Rebirth of the Beautiful Repaying Gratitude: Quick Transmigration and Childbirth System
Chapter 9: The Romantic Emperor vs. the Gratitude of the Peasant Girl (9)
Xuanyuan Che sat upright in the imperial study, concentrating on reviewing memorials to the emperor.
Chen Dehai approached quietly and reported in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, Lin Da Ying... hanged herself in the cold palace last night."
Xuanyuan Che's hand paused slightly, with the tip of the pen suspended above the paper. After a moment, he continued writing.
“Self-fear or man-made?”
"Your Majesty, based on the current clues, they point to the Jinxiu Palace."
Xuanyuan Che gently put down his pen and sighed, seeming to feel tired and helpless.
"Let's stop here and treat it as suicide out of fear of crime."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Chen Dehai responded and tried to leave, but he heard the emperor mumbling to himself.
"Although Wan agreed that she deserved the punishment, but this noble concubine?"
"Your Majesty is wise and wise, I dare not speak nonsense."
The imperial study returned to silence again, leaving only the rustling sound of the emperor reading memorials.
However, when he saw a memorial requesting to adopt a child, he could no longer conceal his irritation.
Xuanyuan Che angrily threw the memorial aside, frowned, and fell into deep thought.
Looking back on himself, as the crown prince born from the empress, he was brave when he was young, had outstanding military achievements, and became even more powerful after he ascended the throne.
Having countless beauties but no children became an unspeakable pain in his heart.
After his mother passed away, there were rumors that he had killed too many people, and that he was unlucky for his father and mother, and was destined to have no children.
These words, like sharp swords, often pierced his heart.
He didn't believe this nonsense.
In particular, the imperial concubine had once been pregnant with him, and although the child could not be kept, it proved his fertility.
Although the imperial concubine's domineering behavior was unpleasant, she was, after all, his only evidence that he could give birth to children.
However, after 7 years, there is still no news. I have given up hope.
Xuanyuan Che closed his eyes, and the figure of Liu Qianyu appeared in his mind.
The woman who always made him feel peaceful and comfortable.
Her beauty and innocence made him feel as if he had returned to his youth and regained the long-lost happiness and freedom.
Besides, she was rescued by herself, and she was all alone in the palace.
"Chen Dehai, send the jade headpiece that I treasure to Yaochi Palace, and select some rare jewels and brocade silk from the storehouse and send them along as well."
When Chen Dehai heard this, he was secretly surprised.
When the Kingdom of Shu presented that set of jade headdress as tribute, even Concubine Lian was unable to obtain it, but now it was given to Concubine Chun.
He quickly bowed and agreed, and had a deeper understanding of the status of this new favorite concubine.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I will do it immediately and make sure that Concubine Chun is happy to receive your Majesty's generous gift."
Xuanyuan Che nodded with satisfaction, and then he began to think carefully and continued to review the paper.

Inside the Yaochi Palace, the fragrance of flowers and tea interweave to create a tranquil and elegant atmosphere.
Xiaolan walked into the inner room and whispered to Liu Qianyu, reporting a sad news.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Wan committed suicide out of fear of punishment."
"understood."
Liu Qianyu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and at the same time called out to the system spirit in her mind.
"Xiao Ling, what's going on?"
"It was the Imperial Concubine who did it. In order to cover up the truth, she sent people to get rid of Concubine Wan. Host, do you want to expose the Imperial Concubine?"
"No rush. The emperor should know what's going on, and Wanpin really deserves it. Besides, the matter has not yet become a big deal. The emperor will not easily execute the imperial concubine because he thinks that she was pregnant with his child. We need to take it step by step."
Chen Dehai stepped into the Yaochi Palace, his words full of respect.
"Empress Chunpin, the emperor specially ordered me to come here. He knows that you have been a little frightened recently, so he specially gave you treasures and silks to show his majesty's care for you."
The palace servants came in one after another, holding exquisite boxes in their hands, which were filled with all kinds of treasures and silks.
Liu Qianyu opened her red lips slightly, her smile gentle and appropriate.
"Your Majesty, I am deeply grateful for your kindness. Please ask Eunuch Chen to convey my gratitude to Your Majesty, and hope that Your Majesty will take a proper rest after the busy court affairs. I will be in Yaochi Palace, waiting for Your Majesty to return for dinner."
She raised her hand slightly, motioning the maid beside her to come forward and take the reward.
Lianxin understood what he meant and quietly put a purse into Chen Dehai's hand.
"Father-in-law, you have worked hard. This is a small gift from the Queen. Please accept it."
Chen Dehai would not easily accept the reward from the concubines in the harem, but he was very happy to accept the reward from Concubine Chun.
After completing his mission, Chen Dehai hurried back to report to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Chun was overjoyed after receiving the reward, and she specifically asked me to tell Your Majesty to take a good rest. The Concubine has prepared dinner, and she is looking forward to sharing it with Your Majesty."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Guizi hurried in.
"Your Majesty, news has come from the Jinxiu Palace that the Imperial Concubine is unwell. I beg Your Majesty to come and visit her."
The emperor frowned slightly. Although he was extremely reluctant, he finally sighed when he thought about the fact that the imperial concubine had given birth to his children.
"Forget it, just reply and tell them that I will visit you later."
Then he turned to Chen Dehai with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"Go to Yaochi Palace and tell Concubine Chun that she doesn't need to eat with us."
Chen Dehai and Xiao Guizi took the order and went about their business.

Inside the splendid palace, light gauze dances gracefully and the air is thick with fragrance.
Concubine Xiao was leaning on the soft brocade couch, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was uncomfortable, which added a bit of pitiful beauty to her.
Xuanyuan Che stepped into the hall, his eyes fell on the imperial concubine's slightly pale face, and he stepped forward to ask.
"Rong Le, how are you?"
Concubine Xiao leaned softly into the emperor's arms, her voice as thin as a thread.
"I am fine, but I am worried about Your Majesty, so I look a little weak."
Hongyu, who was serving nearby, interrupted at the right time.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has been missing her lost son lately. She has lost her appetite. The Imperial Physician said that she is suffering from a heart disease and needs to relax and relieve her worries before she can gradually recover."
Concubine Xiao sobbed softly.
"Your Majesty, I always think of our unborn child, and my heart aches like a knife. How wonderful it would be if he were still alive."
When Xuanyuan Che heard her bring up this matter again, he felt heavy in his heart.
He had been tolerant of the imperial concubine because she had been pregnant before. Whenever he mentioned the child he had lost, he always felt pity for her.
But after so many years, Xuanyuan Che felt very depressed.
"Rong Le, don't worry about the past anymore. We have done our best regarding the child."
Xiao Rongle seemed to have collapsed. She held Xuanyuan Che's hand tightly and begged.
"Your Majesty, I can't forget. I miss our child day and night. I want to give birth to another child for you. I can definitely give birth to a child for you."
Xuanyuan Che sighed, his heart filled with pain.
Seeing Xiao Rongle like this, and thinking of the pile of memorials submitted by court officials today requesting to adopt children, he felt even more heavy-hearted.
He pulled his hand back and stood up.
"I know you are sad, but I can't do anything about it."
"You should have a good rest first. I still have things to deal with, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, he turned and left Jinxiu Palace.
Xiao Rongle saw Xuanyuan Che's resolute back as he left, and an uncontrollable madness suddenly welled up in his eyes.
She suddenly grabbed the pillow beside her and threw it out with all her strength, roaring heartbreakingly.
"Liu Qianyu, you bitch! I, Xiao Rongle, will never let you have an easy life!"
Hongyu was standing by, her face pale with fear, her whole body trembling but she dared not make a sound. She knew very well that the imperial concubine had lost her mind at this moment.
When Xuanyuan Che walked out of Jinxiu Palace, he felt endless distress in his heart, and his thoughts involuntarily drifted to Yaochi Palace.
In this complicated harem, her innocence, her gentleness, and her understanding all quietly healed his exhausted heart.
