Quick Transmigration Hoarding: My Selfishness Leads to a Killing Frenzy

Chapter 384 Cannon Fodder Bastard Sister 10

Since Su Wunian developed ambition, she quickly got the Crown Prince and Baili Xuance to reach an agreement that Baili Xuance would fully support the Crown Prince's ascension to the throne.

For the woman he loves, Baili Xuance would naturally do anything.

The time for the two to give birth came quickly.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, the Crown Prince! Your concubine has given birth to a son."

"Congratulations, General Baili! Concubine Rou has given birth to a son for you."

The two male protagonists both had indifferent expressions, their minds preoccupied with each other's concubines.

The Crown Prince did not send the child to Baili Xuance, not because he liked the child.

He just felt that this would make Baili Xuance a weapon in his hands.

With a Grand Tutor in civil affairs and a General in military affairs, plus the financial support of Su Wunian's maternal grandfather's family.

Despite the Crown Prince's bad reputation, he has already gained most of the advantages of timing and location.

The only thing missing is the passing of the old emperor.

Just when everyone thought victory was assured and was waiting for the right opportunity.

The old emperor is going to hold another selection of candidates.

“Father, I voluntarily enter the palace for the imperial concubine selection. I hope you will grant my request.”

The Grand Tutor looked at his third daughter standing before him, and for a moment he couldn't remember what her name was.

“Uh! Third brother, are you sure you want to enter the palace for the imperial concubine selection? His Majesty is getting old, I’m afraid you might not be able to gain his favor even if you enter the palace.”

It wasn't that the Grand Tutor cared about his daughter; it was just that he was already on the same side as the Crown Prince, so whether Qingmo entered the palace or not was no longer important to him.

Only then did he show a tiny bit of fatherly love, asking a few more questions.

"Father, I have made up my mind. After I enter the palace, I will definitely share your burdens."

Looking at her resolute eyes, the Grand Tutor sighed inwardly and nodded, saying, "Fine, since you have made up your mind, I will grant your wish."

Qingmo bowed deeply and thanked her father.

When Aunt Wen heard the news, she felt as if the sky had fallen. How could her honest daughter have to go to such a cannibalistic place?

"Third daughter, tell me, was it your old bastard father who forced you?"

"What a tragedy! That old emperor is practically on his deathbed, and he still wants to hold a selection of candidates for my daughter. Isn't that ruining her life?"

Aunt Wen clutched her handkerchief, tears streaming down her face; she was truly heartbroken.

Qingmo was helpless; she had made the child cry, so she had no choice but to comfort her.

“Aunt, it was my own choice to go to the palace.”

"Why?" Aunt Wen cried and suddenly looked up.

"Because I want wealth, honor, and power! Aunt, you married my father because you didn't want to be a lowly servant anymore, right? So why can't I?"

Hearing these words coming from her honest and simple daughter, Aunt Wen was momentarily stunned.

I can't help but feel that I'm the one who ruined her; she learned from me. Sigh.

With a long sigh, Aunt Wen had no choice but to accept the fact, since the list of candidates for the imperial concubine selection had already been submitted and could not be changed.

The day of the draft is fast approaching.

Qingmo's beauty and temperament made her stand out among the other candidates, and the old emperor immediately kept her nameplate and bestowed upon her the title of Changzai.

Soon, she was promoted two ranks, from a lowly concubine to a high-ranking consort.

It was at this moment that Su Wunian and Su Wanrou discovered that they actually had a third younger sister.

The third sister, who was always silent in the mansion and whom they never paid any attention to, is now doing very well in the palace.

Su Wunian was secretly shocked. She hadn't expected that her unassuming third sister would have such abilities.

Su Wanrou, on the other hand, was filled with jealousy. Why was she only a concubine while everyone else was doing better than her? Why?

Qingmo certainly wouldn't serve an old man; there are plenty of ways to make him obey.

Outsiders only thought that the emperor stayed in her palace every night, and that she was the only one who received the emperor's favor, so we just smiled and said nothing.

Despite the concubines' targeting and the empress's harassment, Qingmo didn't care. She knew the old emperor would avenge her.

Soon, news of her pregnancy spread.

Upon receiving the news, the Crown Prince also began to pay more attention to this sister-in-law, who was also his father's favorite concubine.

"My concubine, your third sister is quite the rising star these days. She's already a concubine. In all my years in the palace, I've never seen anyone rise so quickly."

Su Wunian was also pondering to herself, feeling that she had overlooked something.

This third sister, in her eyes, was always someone who never fought or competed. How did she manage to survive in this cannibalistic palace?

In her previous two lives, her third younger sister vanished along with the Grand Tutor's mansion.

Ok?

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed into my mind.

Yes, if she can be reborn, why can't others?

This third younger sister was always implicated by the Grand Tutor's mansion and died young.

This time, if she wants to survive, she must take a different path.

Yes, that makes sense. If that's the case, then everything makes sense.

The death of her mother, Aunt Yue's leg injury, and even how she and Su Wanrou ended up like this, all seem to be controlled by an invisible hand.

She came for revenge.

This idea startled Su Wunian, who unconsciously knocked over the teacup beside him.

"What are you doing?" the crown prince roared, standing up and patting the tea off his clothes.

"What are you thinking? Did you hear what I just said?"

Su Wunian snapped out of her daze and quickly apologized, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I understand what you said."

Although the crown prince was still angry, he did not pursue the matter further.

Su Wunian appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil.

She knew that if Qingmo was truly reborn to seek revenge, then the person she most wanted to deal with would definitely be herself.

At a palace banquet, the two looked at each other. Qingmo curled her lips into a smile, her eyes full of mockery.

Qingmo excused herself from the event by claiming she was feeling unwell and left early, and Su Wunian followed her out.

The two sat in the pavilion, while palace maids and eunuchs stood guard not far away, holding lanterns.

Su Wunian spoke first: "Third sister, it's been a long time. I'm quite impressed with you."

Qingmo chuckled softly, "Is sister praising me, or is she being sarcastic?"

Su Wunian took a deep breath: "Third sister, why did you go to the palace? What do you want to do?"

Qingmo didn't answer. Instead, she got up, walked behind her, bent down, and whispered in her ear, "Is sister scared—"

Su Wunian stiffened, but forced himself to remain calm and said, "What am I afraid of? I just want to find out your purpose."

"Heh, sister, don't be impatient. You'll find out soon enough."

Qingmo didn't keep her waiting too long, because the crown prince was deposed on the day she gave birth to the prince.

"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that the Crown Prince is morally deficient and unfit for great responsibilities, and is hereby deposed from his position effective immediately."

"Consort Qing has given birth to a son, which is a joyous occasion. I am overjoyed and hereby bestow upon her the title of Noble Consort and the title of Crown Prince upon the twelfth prince."

The two imperial edicts, issued like a thunderclap from a clear sky, caused turmoil throughout the imperial court and the inner palace.
