Transmigrated Into a World of Villains

Concubine De hadn't expected Concubine Rou to give her the real prayer beads.

Yesterday, Zhilan had dropped the prayer beads, and Concubine Rou had picked them up.

Could Concubine Rou have switched the beads at that moment?

If she had, Concubine Rou could have easily hidden or destroyed the real prayer beads. Why would she bother returning them today?

Wouldn't that expose her deception?

[No wonder I saw the glow of Buddha light around Concubine Rou today; the real prayer beads were with her.]

[Mother, are you also suspecting that Concubine Rou switched the real prayer beads?]

Concubine De handed the small wooden box to Zhilan and sighed, "This Concubine Rou..."

She didn't know what to think anymore.

In the harem, no woman is simple.

A naive woman wouldn't last three days in the palace.

Yet, she always thought that Concubine Rou had relatively little scheming.

Could she have been wrong?

The matter of the real and fake prayer beads needed to be thoroughly investigated in private. It was fine if someone targeted her, but she would never allow anyone to harm her child.

Concubine De, holding Ah Bao, returned to Yihe Palace and happened to run into the Tyrant Emperor, who had just finished court.

"Is Concubine De taking Ah Bao out for a walk?"

Concubine De responded, "The weather is nice today, so I took Ah Bao out for some sun."

"Hmm, Ah Bao, Father missed you so much. Come, let Father hold you." The Tyrant Emperor took Ah Bao into his arms.

No matter how late court ended, the Tyrant Emperor would come to Yihe Palace every day to see Ah Bao.

Yesterday, he hadn't seen her.

Because that rascal Di Zian had secretly taken Ah Bao out of the palace.

The Tyrant Emperor was already planning to give Di Zian a good scolding next time he saw him.

[Scumbag dad, what's that thing Eunuch Xi is holding?]

Ah Bao's round eyes spotted a small object in Eunuch Xi's hands and grew curious.

"Ah Bao, Father brought you a little rocking horse. Do you like it?" The Tyrant Emperor had Eunuch Xi bring the rocking horse forward and place it on the ground.

Ah Bao's eyes lit up, and she giggled.

[A rocking horse? The kind you can ride? I like it, I really like it!]

[This is my first time playing with a toy from this dynasty!]

Ah Bao waved her tiny hands, wanting to go touch it.

The Tyrant Emperor chuckled happily, "In a few months, when Ah Bao is a little bigger, you'll be able to ride the rocking horse."

[Just touching it makes me happy! Thank you, Daddy~]

The Tyrant Emperor's eyes crinkled with laughter.

Ah Bao had just called him "Daddy."

This little girl had a bit of heart after all.

"If Ah Bao wants to thank someone, thank your Grand Queen Mother She ordered me to make this rocking horse overnight."

Concubine De was surprised. "Your Majesty, you... you didn't sleep all night and spent it making a rocking horse? You are busy with state affairs and must take care of your health. These small toys can be made by the servants.
