"Your Majesty, His Majesty has sent a peck of pearls from the South China Sea. Your Majesty is the most favored person in the inner palace." Mo Qian heard a woman's voice in her ear as soon as she regained consciousness.

Then, he slowly opened his eyes.

What comes into view is a magnificent and splendid scene.

From the woman beside her, Mo Qian realized that she had transmigrated into the body of one of the emperor's concubines.

"I have a bit of a headache, you can go downstairs first." Mo Qian pretended to be tired and rubbed her forehead with her hand.

"Your Majesty, should I summon the imperial physician?" she asked anxiously.

"No need, I'll be fine after resting. You can go out now."

"Yes, Your Majesty." After that, Mo Qian was left alone in the room.

Mo Qian took the opportunity to receive the original owner's memories.

The original owner of the body, Mo Qian, was the daughter of the Marquis of Dingjun.

His father commanded an army of 100,000.

After the original owner passed the imperial examination, she was summoned into the harem by the emperor and made a concubine.

Because the original owner's father held military power, and the court relied on him, he guarded the border and resisted foreign enemies.

The emperor then favored the original owner of the body.

But in reality, the emperor was very wary of the original owner's father.

Even though the original owner greatly admired him, she only used him as a pawn.

On the surface, he showed great affection for the original owner, allowing her to be arrogant and domineering in the harem, but in reality, he was just setting her up as a target.

One purpose was to show it to the original owner's father, to instill in him loyalty to the ruler.

Secondly, it was to protect the emperor's beloved from being attacked by the concubines in the harem.

In her previous life, the original owner did not discover the emperor's despicable nature and always thought that the emperor was in love with her.

The two were of one mind.

But in reality, the original owner was kept in the dark. The emperor relied on the original owner to shield his beloved.

Thus, due to the scheming of the harem, the original owner not only suffered physical harm from being poisoned, but also had difficulty conceiving.

Meanwhile, the emperor's beloved, the female lead, who was being protected behind him, was completely unharmed.

Because the original owner of the body absorbed all the hatred onto herself, no one regarded the female lead as an opponent.

And so, the original owner became a shield.

Later, after the border war was over, the original owner's father was falsely accused of treason and betrayal, and the original owner's entire clan was executed by the emperor.

The original owner was also banished to the cold palace.

As the original owner lay dying, the female protagonist arrived at the Cold Palace. Because of her boasting to the original owner, the original owner learned the whole truth behind the scenes.

"Creak!" The original owner was lying on the bed, coughing incessantly, his face extremely pale, when he heard a noise coming from outside.

A short while later, a woman dressed in rich clothes and beautifully made up walked in from outside.

"Consort Mo, oh no, she's now a discarded concubine in the Cold Palace," the newcomer, the female lead Wan Qianqian, said with a charming smile.

His face bore the air of a victor.

"How did you end up here?!" The original owner looked at Wan Qianqian, who had appeared there, with some surprise in her eyes.

It seemed they never expected that this person, who was unknown and obscure in the harem, would appear here.

"Let's see how those who were once pampered in the harem behave now." The female lead curled her lips into a malicious smile.

"You! How dare you, the daughter of a minor official, mock me!" the original owner shouted angrily.

Because of her anger, her previously pale face became quite flushed.

The female protagonist's expression turned somewhat unpleasant after hearing the original owner's sarcastic remarks.

Then, after seeing the original owner's miserable state, he laughed again.

"But I, the daughter of a minor official, have been made empress." The female protagonist said with a smug look on her face.

"No! Impossible!"

"With Consort Shu and Consort Jing around, how could it possibly be your turn!" The original owner looked incredulous, her tone exceptionally firm.

"Why not me? You don't know this yet, do you? Actually, you're just my shield!"

"It's because the Emperor is trying to protect me that he's openly favoring you."

"She just doesn't want me to be schemed against by the harem." The female protagonist looked into the original owner's eyes and said each word with a smile. A smile played on her lips.

"No! How could this be! I don't believe it!"

"His Majesty wouldn't do this to me!" The original owner of this body cried out in despair.

"Why not? Look at your current situation, are you still trying to deceive yourself?"

"It's ridiculous."

"You probably don't know this yet, but everyone in the Marquis of Dingjun's mansion has been beheaded."

"Your poor nephew, who was only a few years old, has also met his demise."

"Pfft!" Upon hearing this, the original owner couldn't bear it and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Why? Without the support of my Marquis of Dingjun's mansion, how could His Majesty have stood out from all the princes, obtained the throne, and secured his position!"

"My father was stationed on the border for many years, and my eldest and second brothers fought on the battlefield and died on the battlefield!"

"Why did he treat my Dingjun Marquis's mansion like this?!" The original owner spat out another mouthful of blood after saying this.

His face was extremely pale.

"His Majesty is the Emperor, the ruler of the world. Isn't it only right and proper for you to do these things? Why do you still want a reward?"

"Are you constantly reminding the Emperor that you owe the Marquis of Dingjun a debt of gratitude?"

"If you don't die, who will! Hahaha!"

"Thank you for being my shield for so long."

"It works really well!"

"Pfft!" The original owner spat out a mouthful of blood.

He collapsed onto the bed.

His face was filled with deep hatred and regret.

"Throw the person into the well behind the Cold Palace," the female lead coldly ordered.

"Yes, Master."

...

After receiving the memories, Mo Qian opened her eyes and felt a surge of intense hatred welling up in her heart.

After silently reciting the Heart-Cleansing Mantra several times, I was able to suppress it.

"Master, Master, the original owner was so pitiful, and her whole family was so pitiful too." Xiaobai said with a look of emotion.

"Yes, it was quite tragic. Not only were they tricked, but their entire clan was wiped out," Mo Qian said indifferently.

"It's the Emperor who is too despicable and shameless!"

"He ascended the throne with the help of the original owner's father, and then discarded him after he had served his purpose."

"He was also very ruthless to the original owner, making her always believe that the emperor had feelings for her."

"The result was that I shielded others from disaster and became their scapegoat."

"The female lead also looks smug and self-satisfied," Xiaobai said angrily.

I feel really sorry for the original owner.

He felt an intense loathing for the emperor.

"Yeah, neither of them are good people."

“Especially the Emperor.” Mo Qian said coldly.

"Master, master, we can't let them off so easily. We must teach them a lesson they won't forget."

"The Emperor is utterly shameless; his crimes are beyond description!" Xiao Bai said with great disdain.

"rest assured."

From the original owner's memories, Mo Qian learned that the original owner had now entered the palace and become a concubine.

The emperor has also begun using the original owner as a shield.

As for the female lead, she also entered the harem, and the emperor took a liking to her.

As for the time remaining before the Dingjun Marquis's family was wiped out, there were still less than two years left.

It's not too late.

Now, in order to protect the female lead, the emperor pushed the original owner forward and is very fond of her.

Conversely, it can also be used.

A favored concubine should act like one.

Mo Qian's lips curled upwards.
