Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Weiyang Palace Main Hall

"My Lady Concubine Xi, I know you are wronged, but these are the orders issued by the Emperor himself. The imperial edict is still there. I am just a servant who delivers the message. Please don't embarrass me.

Now the Emperor only asks you to stay in Weiyang Palace temporarily. You are not allowed to go out without the Emperor's order and you are not allowed to see guests. This is also for your own good.

Please put yourself in his shoes and don’t make things too difficult for the Emperor. Just be patient for now.”

Zhang was so annoyed by the gossip that he couldn't speak. He just felt like Shen Yao was slapped in the face:...

call

He lowered his eyes and closed them, taking a deep breath and forcibly suppressing the anger rising in his heart.

Shen Yao had a cold face. She stretched out her hand to take the particularly eye-catching bright yellow imperial edict that was held in front of her. At the same time, she asked the eunuchs who came to convey the eunuch to leave quickly.

It's an eyesore, really an eyesore!

What the hell is going on? A few days ago, she swore that she did nothing in this incident and that Xiao Yanchen would never implicate the Weiyang Palace.

As a result, Xiao Yanchen issued a blatant imperial decree to confine her, and specially arranged for a young eunuch with a strange appearance to come and convey the order.

Ah!

Good! It’s really good!

Xiao Yanchen, Your Majesty, what exactly does this mean? Is she also part of the other party's plan?

Shen Yao was so angry that she wanted to curse, but she looked calm on the surface.

But the effect of the cold face was still quite scary. Qiuyue, who had run over to see them off, came back and didn't dare to take a step closer to her master.

Qiuyue: ...Family members, who understands? The master’s aura is too strong, and she is scared.

"My lady, let me help you into the palace."

Qiuyue hesitated for several times, but finally opened her mouth and said what was on her lips with difficulty.

There was no other way. He couldn't just watch his master standing outside the palace motionless.

It's still cold in the morning.

Shen Yao silently glanced at Qiuyue, then handed the imperial edict to her, "Put it back in the house, I will just walk around the courtyard."

Instead of going back and continuing to sulk, it is better to find an opportunity to vent your anger.

Shen Yao looked at the lush courtyard in front of him, and walked away alone without paying attention to Qiuyue's expression.

The wind blew past, taking away the heat from my body and also blowing the brocade on my palace dress.

With her mind clearer than ever before, Shen Yao called out the system in her mind, "What did you want to say just now?"

Just as the group of eunuchs who delivered the imperial eunuch's orders were leaving, the system wanted to speak.

But Shen Yao was not in the mood at that time and didn't bother to pay attention to it.

Now that she had calmed down, Shen Yao felt that she should get some information from the system.

Including Xiao Yanchen, everyone knew that she was absolutely innocent in this matter. So why was Weiyang Palace sealed off in the end, and why was she also put in solitary confinement?

The system said, "Host, this matter is actually the emperor's plan.

With the emperor's care for the host, the host will definitely be able to get through this safely."

Shen Yao looked disdainful and sneered, "First a slap in the face, then a sweet date. Ha, what's the point of giving me that well-intentioned plan?"

Is she the type to buy into this?!

Shen Yao was famous for her softness and unwillingness to be hard. Xiao Yanchen thought that he had good intentions and could make Shen Yao feel the same after knowing the whole truth. Ha! It was pure wishful thinking.

“You don’t need me to tell you, I understand that this matter must involve a wide range of people.

The reason why Weiyang Palace was sealed and I was imprisoned together was entirely because Concubine Sun and her son were not qualified to be bait.

Xiao Yanchen needed a bigger bait to make those people outside the palace fall into the trap willingly.

As long as they fall into the trap set by Xiao Yanchen, they will be completely liquidated by Xiao Yanchen."

What good intentions? Xiao Yanchen always regarded the imperial authority as the most important thing to him.

Shen Yao and the children are not much different from Sun Churuo and her son.

Is it true that if they are both the same object, we still need to distinguish which one is valuable and which one is cheap?

But they are all of the same species and can discard things they don't want at any time. If you really want to argue about these things, what's the difference between you and a fool who is laughing at others when they are only fifty steps away?

Shen Yao didn't feel heartbroken, she was just pushed to the limit by the Emperor's Heart once again.

Sure enough, among those who can sit on the throne, is there anyone who is truly kind-hearted and sentimental?

The system, which had been holding back a lot of gossip, was so frightened by Shen Yao's output that it could hardly continue talking.

System: ...No, that's not right. The melon it ate from the previous dynasty and Taiji Hall was not like this!

The system wanted to explain, oh my god, it’s just an artificial intelligence, why should we make it so difficult?

"Host, what you said is a bit extreme. The system heard the emperor's words from the Taiji Hall."

"The emperor wants to protect me by sealing me off in the palace, and wants to protect the physical and mental safety of me and my children."

Interrupting the system before it finished speaking, Shen Yao smiled and continued with the rest of the sentence.

System: ...Oh my goodness, I was guessed again.

The system stopped struggling, "Host, you know everything, why do you still think the emperor is using you?"

Is this considered exploitation, Your Majesty? The system does not understand, but based on its data analysis, this is clearly protection.

Shen Yao shook her head, her eyes drifting into the distance, "System, it's a good thing you're not a human."

System: ...Why does it feel like I'm scolding it? It's not a human to begin with.

"Human beings are very complex and contradictory. If you don't have human emotions, you won't understand them."

As mentioned before, the system can rely on its own capabilities to calculate anything that does not require the addition of emotions, but the only thing it cannot understand is the human heart.

Xiao Yanchen's words sounded nice. He wanted to protect them, but why didn't he communicate with her in advance? Why did he have to act on his own? Why did he have to choose this method that would hint to everyone outside the palace?

Upon closer inspection, Xiao Yanchen's words were full of logical flaws and were completely inexplicable.

Shen Yao has experienced various worlds and is psychologically mature. Does she need Xiao Yanchen to use such an awkward method to protect her?

"If you encounter this kind of thing again in the future, treat the system as a joke and choose to watch the show. Don't take it too seriously," otherwise it will make the system look stupid.

Shen Yao felt that the system was her long-term partner after all, and the bad reputation of the system still had a great impact on her. After all, although Shen Yao claimed that she was not smart enough, she refused to be manipulated by various means.

Xiao Yanchen wanted to use this method to gain her gratitude and understanding, but that was a daydream!

Everybody is pursuing their own interests. Before things turn badly between them, everyone is happy. If they like, they can just get together and act out some drama and flirt with each other.

But after touching upon core interests, we still need to have a clear idea.

For example, right now, if Xiao Yanchen is really taking advantage of Shen Yao, then don't blame Shen Yao for getting back at him in the future.

Anyway, everyone makes a living based on their own abilities. When Shen Yao becomes old and loses the emperor's favor one day, she may become the next Wei Jingyi.

These are all uncertain things. How much changes there will be between now and the future can only be revealed when the time really comes.

……

As soon as the news that Weiyang Palace was sealed and Concubine Xi was imprisoned spread, it immediately detonated the entire harem.

At first, Xiao Yanchen was worried that he would act too quickly and people inside and outside the palace would become suspicious.

What he didn't expect was that those people were even more anxious than he was.

Faced with the sudden loss of the emperor's favor for the Weiyang Palace, not only did they not suspect Xiao Yanchen of being behind it, they also kept slandering Xiao Yanchen and asked him to quickly get rid of the Weiyang Palace lineage.

The children are young and can be kept, but for an adult like Shen Yao, oh, there is already "conclusive evidence", are they still keeping her until the New Year?

Crackling, crackling, crackling——

Xiao Yanchen received memorials like snowflakes in the Taiji Hall.

Without exception, in these memorials, no matter what they started with, they would eventually turn to the affairs of the Weiyang Palace and the Shen family.

That’s right, these court officials are well aware of the principle that one must strike the snake at its most vulnerable part and that one must uproot the grass when chopping it.

The Shen family, which has always been invisible outside the palace, is on their list of people to be dealt with.

The reason is very simple, although there is currently no indication that the Shen family has any intention of producing another Shen Yao.

But the Shen family is Shen Yao's maternal family after all. Shen Yao has been favored for many years and has five royal heirs by her side. If the Shen family is not suppressed, what if they collude with Concubine Xi in the palace?

Besides, they were also worried that once Concubine Xi in the palace fell, the Shen family outside the palace would wait for an opportunity to retaliate against them.

Blood is thicker than water, and broken bones remain connected by tendons. The constraints on women in this era were indeed strong, but this also shows that the power of the clan is much greater than imagined.

Otherwise, why would the emperor always exterminate three or nine clans?

What we are afraid of is the subsequent troubles. Behind these harsh orders are lessons learned through blood and tears.

However, the ministers became indignant very quickly, but Xiao Yanchen, contrary to his usual behavior, raised the charge high and then put it down gently. He did not directly convict Shen Yao of Weiyang Palace, but he did not say that Shen Yao was innocent either.

Just hanging there hesitantly, neither moving forward nor backward.

Anxious courtiers: ...Anxious! Even more anxious!

During this period, the servants arranged by Xiao Yanchen to investigate discovered new evidence pointing to the Weiyang Palace.

At the same time, the third prince Xiao Jin, who was too sick to get out of bed, finally exhausted his last breath and passed away.

Sun Churuo, who had been staying by the Third Prince's side to take care of him, could not hold on any longer and fainted.

With the treatment of the imperial doctors, the first thing Sun Churuo did after opening his eyes was to run to Xiao Yanchen, kneel down, and beg Xiao Yanchen to avenge his son.

"Your Majesty, Jin'er died unjustly. Please seek justice for us mother and son."

Sun Churuo cried with tears in her eyes. She no longer had the grace and elegance she had before. Not to mention her makeup and appearance, her facial expression and demeanor made her look as if she had aged several years.

Sure enough, once people encounter setbacks, they will exude a decadent atmosphere all over their body.

This is the situation with Sun Churuo now. Without Xiao Jin, her life has lost most of its meaning.

Sun Churuo could not accept that Xiao Jin left her, and even more so, she could not accept the emperor's indifferent attitude towards Xiao Jin's death.

After crying and begging the emperor in vain, Sun Churuo laughed miserably, turned around and ran away.

The emperor watched Sun Churuo's crying performance the whole time, his brows furrowed, and he felt a little overwhelmed.

“Send someone to keep an eye on Concubine Sun, and when she regains consciousness, send her to Changle Palace to recuperate.

Also, regarding the Third Prince, have the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepare funeral rites as soon as possible and bury him in peace."

Xiao Yanchen stood in the main hall, looking at the screen leading to the inner room, but finally left quickly.

Xiao Jin, his third son, should have expected this outcome. He didn't need to feel sad for a child who should have passed away long ago.

On the other side, Sun Churuo, who had already run away, had a blank mind. She didn't know where to go or what to do.

Subconsciously, he followed his body's primitive reaction and shook off the slave who was following him closely.

When Sun Churuo came to his senses again, he was already standing at the gate of Weiyang Palace.

Weiyang Palace?

I raised my stiff neck, and the sour feeling spread along my neck and shoulders to my entire body.

Sun Churuo suddenly smiled, and reached out his hand to pretend to smooth his overly messy hair.

Well, she was going to meet an old acquaintance, so she had to dress herself up.

Alas, if she had known she was going to meet someone, she should not have rushed out in such a hurry. Now her clothes are disheveled and her makeup is messy, which shows that she is timid before she even speaks.

creak-

The heavy palace door was pushed open a crack and Sun Churuo walked in.

He gazed at the arrangements in the courtyard, thinking that this was different from what he had expected.

She thought that Shen Yao, who was imprisoned, was not having a good life, and the courtyard should be covered with fallen leaves and overgrown weeds.

Unexpectedly, the courtyard of Weiyang Palace was clean and tidy, and there were palace servants cleaning it. It did not look shabby at all.

Is this the real Weiyang Palace?

"I greet Concubine Sun," a palace maid holding a broom saw Sun Churuo and recognized her identity and quickly bowed and greeted her, "Concubine Sun, the emperor has ordered that Concubine Xi is not allowed to go out without the emperor's order and not to see outsiders. Please don't make things difficult for me and leave quickly."

After listening to this, Sun Churuo glanced at the servant in front of her with an indifferent expression.

"Are you done? If you're done, it's time to go. It's none of your business who I want to meet. Get out of the way!"

A sudden surge of anger arose in his heart, and Sun Churuo couldn't help but raise his voice.

The tone not only scared the palace maid who tried to stop her, but also startled Shen Yao who was lying on the couch.

Someone's coming?!

Who was shouting in her Weiyang Palace and was locked up for several days? Who else could come in?

Shen Yao stood up, put on her shoes and walked out. Before she reached the door, she was stopped by Qiuyue who came in.

"My lady, it's Concubine Sun. She looks bad. I'm afraid it will be bad for you if you see her."

Qiuyue turned sideways, blocking the view from outside.

Shen Yao glanced at Qiuyue after hearing this, "Princess Sun looks unhappy?"

Qiuyue nodded heavily, thinking that Concubine Sun looked as if she had just experienced something sad. Could it be that the third prince was gone? Isn't the situation stable? With the imperial physician here, it should be able to delay for a while.

It’s no wonder Qiuyue made wild guesses, since no one left the Weiyang Palace after it was sealed.

For safety reasons, they did not use any information channels except the imperial kitchen that delivered meals every day.

The master and servant knew nothing about the current situation in the harem, and they had no idea that Qiuyue's subconscious guess would turn out to be right.
