Quickly Transmigrate to Save the Child of Heaven

Chapter 167 Beauty's Scheming Zhang Yan 1

Feng Xi had arrived in this world as the Empress Dowager Zhang Yan, a woman with a scheming beauty. It was just the beginning of her arrival. It was the first day Liu Ying married Zhang Yan, and tonight was their wedding night. Liu Ying felt deeply distressed and absurd looking at his niece.

Zhang Yan waited quietly for Liu Ying to remove her veil. There was nothing she could do. If it were her, she wouldn't necessarily accept it either.

Zhang Yan: "System, what is the mission of this world?"

System: "Kill Du Yunxi, who stole Zhang Yan's luck, and protect Liu Ying's kingdom. Have a child of your own..."

Zhang Yan flipped through her memories and found that the heroine was quite kind. Why did the system task her to kill Du Yunxi? This was the first time in all the tasks she had done that the system had killed someone so strongly, which was a bit abnormal.

Zhang Yan: "System, is there something wrong with Du Yunxi?"

System: "The system and the laws of nature in this world have discovered that Du Yunxi in this world has something that absorbs people's luck. Anyone who treats her well will have their luck sucked away. This is why everyone around her has a tragic fate..."

Zhang Yan: "Does she know?"

System: "The system hasn't discovered this yet, and neither has Heaven. But as punishment, she must pay with her life, so that she can no longer absorb the luck of others."

Zhang Yan: "Only by being nice to her can you absorb her energy. Sometimes, death isn't scary; what's scary is staying alive. I've searched my memories and found that many people have suffered misfortune because of her, especially that Nie Shen'er..."

System: "Host, are you ready to sit here tonight?"

Zhang Yan: "What are you thinking? This Liu Ying needs to be disciplined. To put it bluntly, he's ignorant of the sufferings of the world. The Queen Mother is so kind in protecting him. Everything he gets is just what he deserves..."

The system looked at Liu Ying, who was sitting at the table with a worried look on his face, and felt that what the host said was right. It was about to watch the excitement, but was blocked by Zhang Yan the next second.

Zhang Yan, wearing a red veil, said softly, "Uncle, can you take this off Yan'er's head? Her forehead is red." Liu Ying thought for a moment and stood up. He walked over and removed the veil and phoenix crown. As expected, the little girl's eyes were filled with tears, and her forehead was red and swollen. Liu Ying took a small porcelain bottle from the shelf and rubbed the medicine inside on Yan'er's head. It was cool.

Liu Ying: "Go to bed early..." Zhang Yan looked at Liu Ying and tears fell down her face. "Uncle, I'm scared... Can you stay with me?" Liu Ying looked at the person in front of him, thought for a moment, and finally agreed. The two of them lay on the wedding bed in red underwear. Liu Ying knew that the people around him were innocent and they were all helpless. So he reached out and patted Zhang Yan, coaxing her to sleep. Yan'er pretended to understand nothing and fell asleep hugging his waist. This body was really too weak. She decided that she would have to make good use of it someday. Now she just wanted to have a good sleep. The next day, Yan'er got up and the maids hurried to help her put on her clothes and makeup. After washing up, Liu Ying took Yan'er to eat breakfast and pay a visit to the Queen Mother. The maid who made the bed didn't notice the bleeding and hurriedly sent a palace maid to inform the Queen Mother. Liu Ying looked at all this and felt a sense of irony. His life was always controlled by his mother. Zhang Yan looked at Liu Ying's expression and knew that he was angry about Empress Lü again, so she took his hand and said, "Uncle, come and eat. After eating, we will go to pay our respects to the Empress Dowager, and then go out to play..." Looking at Yan'er with innocent eyes, Liu Ying didn't want to vent his anger on her. So he said, "Yan'er, be good. Uncle has something to do later. Can you go by yourself with the palace maid?" Zhang Yan glanced at him and smiled sweetly, "Okay..." Looking at Yan'er's innocent smile, Liu Ying suddenly felt much better and touched her hair.

After dinner, Zhang Yan and her maids arrived at the Empress Dowager's Changle Palace. Upon entering, Zhang Yan shouted, "Grandmother Yan'er is here to see you..." Princess Lu Yuan, noticing her unseemly behavior, quickly rebuked her, "Yan'er, don't be rude!" Empress Lü saw this and quickly said, "It's okay, Yan'er, come here..." Zhang Yan walked over, and Empress Lü patted her head and said, "From now on, you must call me mother..."

Zhang Yan said, "That would make my uncle even more unhappy..." Speaking of Liu Ying, Empress Lü realized that Emperor Liu Ying was not present. So she asked, "Why didn't the emperor come..." The maid hurriedly knelt down and said, "His Majesty went to Concubine Li's palace after breakfast..." Empress Lü smashed the tea bowls in front of her and said, "Ridiculous... Someone come!" Just as she was about to send for the emperor, Zhang Yan grabbed her hand and said, "It's better not to go, otherwise my uncle will be even more angry!" Empress Lü realized that the person in front of her was actually very smart and insightful. She asked Ying'er to marry Yan'er because she wanted Xuanping Hou and the Lu Yuan forces to be loyal to Ying'er in the future and stabilize the Han Dynasty. She also wanted to compete with the Lu family's power in the court. Ying'er just didn't know her painstaking efforts...

Empress Lü asked softly, "Isn't Yan'er afraid of her mother?"

Zhang Yan put away her naive expression and said sternly to the maids around her, "All of you go away..." The maids looked at Empress Lu and saw her nod, then retreated. Empress Lu raised an eyebrow and said to Lu Yuan, "This girl of yours is not simple. You and I have been wrong about her..." Yan'er smiled and leaned into the Empress Dowager's arms and said, "Grandmother, if it weren't for Mother and you letting me marry my uncle, I could pretend to know nothing for the rest of my life!"

Empress Lü raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh? Why has my Yan'er decided not to pretend anymore..."

Zhang Yan: "For my uncle, I found out he was sick!"

Empress Lü cried angrily, "How dare you!" Yan'er knelt straight down. Lu Yuan quickly pleaded, "Mother, Yan'er is still young, and her words are not measured..." Before he could finish, Yan'er interrupted, "Grandmother, haven't you noticed that uncle is increasingly rejecting you? The more you forbid him, the more he insists on doing things. He ignores the affairs of the court and spends his days in debauchery." Empress Lü looked at Yan'er without saying anything. She had finally helped Ying'er to the throne, but someone had plotted against her and let her see her ruthless side, causing Ying'er to treat him like a cat around a mouse for so many years...

Zhang Yan: "After a long time, my uncle will definitely have problems. Even if I give birth to an heir, my grandmother is too old and may not be able to wait until the child grows up. With my uncle's power, the Han Dynasty will definitely be taken away by others."

Empress Lu helped Yan'er up and said, "Yan'er, you still see things clearly..." Lu Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.

Zhang Yan: "Grandma, can you please give Yan'er some time? Don't rush into having a child. Yan'er is too young. Even if we consummate the marriage, it won't be good for her health. Besides, my uncle also rejects me. I want my uncle to understand my difficulties. And you, grandma, have spoiled my uncle too much. As a result, my uncle doesn't know your suffering and blames you..."

Lu Yuan said: "Yan'er, you are becoming more and more disrespectful..."

Zhang Yan smiled and hugged Lu Yuan's waist and said, "Mother, you are the best..." Looking at her spoiled daughter, Lu Yuan smiled. Empress Lu also smiled... After lunch in Changle Palace, Zhang Yan asked Empress Lu for Xue Yuan and returned to her own Pepper Room.

Zhang Yan looked at Xue Yuan in front of her and said, "From now on, you will be my head maid, in charge of all affairs in the Pepper Palace. I know you are skilled in martial arts, but you must learn to hide yourself."

Xue Yuan: "Yes, Empress..." Meanwhile, Du Yunxi entered the palace, hoping to gain the Emperor's favor. She devised the idea of sprinkling salt on bamboo leaves to attract sheep. The chief eunuch discovered her and severely punished her. While doing chores, she stumbled upon the child Empress Zhang Yan and realized that if she could win the Empress's favor, she wouldn't have to do all this. So, she deliberately performed a magic trick along the palace path Yan'er often walked through to attract her.

Zhang Yan glanced at Du Yunxi and said to Xue Yuan, "Send that careless palace maid to the Queen Mother and tell her to send her to Dai. Before that, feed this to her."

Xue Yuan asked puzzledly, "Does your Majesty know him?"

Zhang Yan: "Her mother once saved Liu Ruyi and was appreciated by Madam Qi. Later, she was killed by the Queen Mother. Do you think keeping her is a bomb? And she just deliberately attracted me. And before that, she deliberately sprinkled salt water on bamboo leaves to attract sheep to eat bamboo leaves... I'm afraid she won't be able to help my uncle in the palace!" Xue Yuan nodded and took the porcelain bottle to find the Queen Mother. Yan'er believed that Xue Yuan would tell the Queen Mother what she had just said... So she wandered around alone and saw Liu Ying sitting alone on the grass, watching the fish in the pond. She ran over and hugged his neck and said, "Uncle, why haven't you come to see Yan'er recently..."

Looking at the little person in front of him, Liu Ying hugged her and said, "Uncle has been busy recently and forgot to look for my Yan'er." Yan'er smiled and said, "I'll punish you by taking Yan'er out of the palace to play..."

Liu Ying thought for a moment and said, "Okay!"
