A flash of white light, and her soul once again arrived in the void.

The blue-green screen in front of her was calculating the points and other rewards she had earned in this mission.

[Congratulations, dear! This mission has been successfully completed! You've gained eight years of lifespan in the real world, so you can enjoy your wonderful time after you wake up!]

"Thank you, now go to the next one."

【Okay, darling! Seeing how motivated you are makes me very happy! The next world is a palace you're more familiar with, where you'll need to ensure the emperor has an heir.】

This time, you will have the original owner's memories, so the difficulty will be relatively lower.

"Oh my god, Zizai, you've finally had a change of heart! You've finally given me back the original owner's memories, and I'm no longer left to explore on my own. What is it? What made you make such a huge change? Did you hear me secretly condemning you?"

"...Sweetie, it would be impolite to say that again~ Letting you explore on your own is also a test of your abilities~ You completed all the tasks very well~ I wish I could double your reward points~"

"Stop making empty promises, give us something concrete."

【...Okay, honey, after the calculation, your current account points balance is [number] points, which is enough for you to shop to your heart's content in the mall. Or, how about getting one of your previous packages?】

The so-called "package" refers to the things she bought in the previous world.

"Okay, same old routine, one of each, you know, having a baby isn't complete without props."

Alright! Honey, get ready, the challenge is about to send you a memory. You might feel a little dizzy when you receive it~

"Bring it on."

[You have been transported to the Imperial Harem of the Great Liang Dynasty.]

A wave of dizziness followed.

Memories flooded her mind like a tide.

She was the legitimate daughter of a minor official of the eighth rank in the imperial court. She and her half-sister entered the palace together for the imperial concubine selection. Due to their outstanding appearances, they were both chosen as noble ladies.

The two had a very good relationship and supported each other from the very beginning of their time in the palace.

My younger sister is lively and has a smooth personality.

In contrast, she, the legitimate daughter, was very rigid and inflexible. In many people's eyes, she was stubborn and inflexible, lacking a shrewd and worldly mind.

So soon after entering the palace, the younger sister gained the emperor's favor and was promoted to the rank of Zhaoyi, a fourth-rank concubine.

The two sisters had different ranks of imperial concubines. The original owner's older sister was often ridiculed for being born of the principal wife, saying that she was not as good as the concubine's daughter.

The original owner wasn't angry when she heard this. She felt that it was already a great thing for her family that someone in the harem could gain the emperor's favor.

Moreover, after her younger sister became favored, she did not forget her older sister. Whenever she received a reward, she would send one to her.

Everyone in the harem said that her younger sister, Consort Gu, was the most likely concubine in the entire harem to give birth to a prince for the emperor.

But a great pity is that she has never gotten pregnant.

Not only her, but no concubine in the harem was pregnant.

The emperor is already thirty-one years old this year, which is quite old, and both the empress dowager and the court officials are somewhat anxious about it.

There were also rumors in the palace that when the emperor was still the crown prince, he accidentally slept with a maid who washed his feet, and the maid became pregnant.

However, the Empress at the time, who is now the Empress Dowager, looked down on the maid's status. She believed that the Crown Prince's first son, even if not born to the Crown Princess, should have been born to a concubine, not to a maid of such low rank.

Especially after the doctor took her pulse and learned that the maid was carrying a girl, he looked down on her even more.

So, they secretly ordered someone to abort the maid's child.

From then until the crown prince became emperor, for more than ten years, no woman became pregnant for him.

But as the emperor, he had no other choice. For the sake of his offspring, he could no longer favor his sister alone, but began to extend his affections to the other concubines in the harem, hoping that they could bear him children.

On one occasion, the emperor favored her, and she was promoted to the rank of fifth-grade Jieyu.

After that, her relationship with her sister changed somewhat.

She happily went to share her joy at being promoted with her younger sister, but her sister, with a smile, said a lot of sarcastic things.

At the time, the original owner hadn't noticed anything amiss and wholeheartedly regarded this younger sister as a close confidante.

But later, my younger sister suddenly fell seriously ill. She took a lot of medicine but did not get better. Some people said that my sister's illness was not due to poor health, but because someone had used witchcraft on her.

The emperor was furious. Cursing and witchcraft were strictly forbidden practices in the palace!

Whoever uses it will inevitably die!

However, he searched the entire harem but could not find any evidence. His sister's words, however, plunged Gu Jiangli's original family into a fire.

She said to the emperor in a sweet voice, "Your Majesty, if anyone wants to harm me, they won't do it in the palace. The safest place is outside the palace."

At that time, Gu Jiangli, the original owner of the body, was listening to this and was somewhat confused. However, soon, the emperor's men found the doll with his sister's birth date and time pasted on it at the Gu family's residence outside the palace.

Gu Jiangli was startled because this thing was not only found in the Gu family home, but also under her mother's bed!

This evidence shows that it was her mother, the legal mother of the Gu family, who wanted to harm this illegitimate second daughter and the Consort Gu in the palace!

The reason was so that his own daughter could be favored!

After careful investigation, the emperor discovered that the matriarch of the Gu family and the concubines in the back courtyard had always been at odds. In the Gu household, the legal mother had always looked down on her younger sister, who was born out of wedlock.
