The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

Xie Yuzhen waved his hand and asked the palace servants to retreat: "What's the matter?"

Unable to reveal the existence of the system, Xu Ronghua said carefully: "I sprained my ankle the first time I went to bed with her, so I couldn't make it. The second time... she stayed in Yuchun Residence, as if she was waiting for something. I kept an eye on her, and sure enough, I found out that she bribed a palace maid in my room to tamper with my shoes. She might have thought that if I hurt my foot again, she could get her another chance."

"Such a stupid trick really seems like something she could come up with." Xie Yuzhen knew exactly what happened that day. "Have you and her fallen out?"

Xu Ronghua nodded.

Since that day, Shen Xiaoyi must have discovered something and stopped pestering me to pretend to be a loving sister. Instead, she tried to make friends with Lady Wang. This morning, I learned that Lady Wang had suffered a miscarriage in Baosi Pavilion. I don't know if it was Shen Xiaoyi who cursed me again, trying to kill two birds with one stone.

Shen Xiaoyi didn't find the existence of the miracle medicine system and had already used up all the curses, but she really wanted to kill two birds with one stone: Ha Qiu!!!

"This person is two-faced. I don't know what she's thinking in her heart. She's also very rough in her actions. Although she wasn't punished for the matter of the royal concubine this time, but..." Xu Ronghua frowned as she recalled what she heard on the way here. "When I came here, I heard the palace people talking about how Shen Xiaoyi somehow ran out of Baosi Pavilion with her hair disheveled last night. I don't know how she ran, but she actually ran to the northern area where the concubines live in retirement."

"Oh?" Xie Yuzhen seemed to be thinking about something.

The Dasheng Palace is vast and is divided into north, south, east and west.

The east side is where the emperor resides, with the Lizheng Hall and the Imperial Study, connecting the places where ministers attend court and hold palace banquets. The residences of the princes and princesses were also built on the side of the Imperial Study.

To the west is the cold palace, as well as the Ye Ting, the laundry bureau, the bird and animal court, the disposal bureau and other offices that are not convenient to appear in public, as well as the residence of some Yulin guards;

To the south were the general storehouse, the imperial kitchen, the imperial hospital, and the purchasing office. Next to them were the places where the palace servants and slaves learned etiquette and lived.

The north side is headed by the Cining Palace, which is the residence of the previous emperor's female relatives. It also has Buddhist halls and Taoist temples. The empress dowager is not in the palace and the concubines rarely go out, so the North Palace is relatively quiet and the concubines do not go there on weekdays.

In the middle, with the Queen's Kunning Palace as the center, the various palaces, pavilions and towers radiating in all directions are the residences of the emperor's concubines.

"Baosi Pavilion is so far away from Beigong, how did she run there without encountering anyone to stop her on the road?" There are palace servants patrolling the palace at night.

Xu Ronghua: "That's right. I'm also surprised. She was a healthy person, but she was running around without being seen by the patrol. However, I heard from the palace servant that Shen Xiaoyi was found by her servant in the early morning. Her feet were already rotten from running, but she seemed unconscious. It was very creepy."

"This person is quite strange. If you meet her in the future, sister, please don't pay any attention to her." Xu Ronghua suspected that Shen Xiaoyi was responsible for the abortion of Concubine Wang. In their past interactions, he also saw some jealousy that Shen Xiaoyi did not hide well. He became more and more suspicious that Shen Xiaoyi could not bear to see others being favored and pregnant, and worried that she would then attack Xie Yuzhen.

But the power of the curse is hard to guard against...Xu Ronghua only found out after asking the magic medicine system that as long as the person being cursed does not have a good impression of Shen Xiaoyi and is on guard, the curse will most likely not succeed. So she wanted to use her own experience to remind Xie Yuzhen and ask Xie Yuzhen to be more wary of Shen Xiaoyi.

Xie Yuzhen saw Ayuan's efforts and recognized her intentions. "I understand. Ayuan, don't worry. I heard that princess is very beautiful. Do you have enough jewelry and clothes? His Majesty had a good dream this morning, and there are more rewards. Let's go pick some together and make new clothes for you. When you pay your respects tomorrow, you must beat the new ones."

"Sister!" Xu Ronghua blushed, she just wanted to check in with Xie Ruizhen, she didn't want to take anything good from him, but Xie Ruizhen was too enthusiastic, it was useless for her to refuse again and again. In just a moment, Shuangyi had a pile of satin and several boxes in her hands to clean up, and seeing that she couldn't carry it all by herself, Xie Ruizhen called Baolu to help.

While picking things in the warehouse, Xu Ronghua tried to continue the previous topic: "Sister, I think Shen Xiaoyi is a little extreme. She and I have had many conflicts before. I am afraid that she will attack me later. It doesn't matter to me, but I am afraid that I will hurt you by mistake, so I think..."

As they talked more, Xu Ronghua gradually relaxed and no longer referred to herself as "concubine" in a humbly manner, but instead called herself "I" to Xie Yuzhen.

"...Why not take the initiative and deal with her?" Xu Ronghua said in a low voice with some trepidation, "I haven't done it yet. I want to... ask my sister's opinion first."

Hearing this, Xie Yuzhen stopped picking out the jewelry and looked up to give Xia Zhi a wink. After Xia Zhi and the palace people left and only the two of them were left in the storeroom, Xie Yuzhen spoke up, "Does she have to be eliminated?"

At the beginning, Xie Yuzhen just wanted to promote Xu Ronghua to become the emperor's favorite concubine, set up a target, and let others pay less attention to him. Shen Xiaoyi has a system, but her brain seems to be single-minded and she won't let go of Xu Ronghua. Xie Yuzhen wanted to test the functions of these two systems, but this has not made much sense since the dream-making system was upgraded.

At this time, Xu Ronghua's only role was to attract fire for Xie Ruizhen, but... she had also expressed her willingness to be the blade in Xie Ruizhen's hand. As a blade, she should not take the initiative to kill people. Xie Ruizhen was also very satisfied with Xu Ronghua's obedience, but he had to pretend.

"...She made me feel dangerous." Xu Ronghua said, pursing his lips.

She knew that her statement was vague and untenable, so even if her sister didn't believe it and didn't allow her to act on her own, that was fine.

If you don't want to move, then don't move. Just be more mentally alert.

This is what Xie Yu was really waiting for: "Then find a good time and a good way to get rid of the uneasiness in your heart."

"......Sister......" Xu Ronghua had lost count of how many times she wanted to cry in front of Xie Yuzhen.

Xie Yuzhen raised his eyebrows impudently: "You are my sister, what is she?"

"But it is a life after all. I will help you, as long as you think it through and realize that you can only live a peaceful life if you take this life... Then we will not only be sisters who share weal and woe, but also accomplices who share weal and woe." Xie Yuzhen's tone was gentle and sweet, as if he was some kind of demon that was bewitching people.

Xu Ronghua's reaction was much more exciting than she had imagined: "Why would I want to dirty my sister's hands? As long as I get your permission, I will feel at ease... Sister, don't worry, just look at my tricks!"

"Sister, do you still remember the maid Susu who said Shen Xiaoyi had ordered her to spy on Baosi Pavilion? After she confessed that day, it was obvious that Shen Xiaoyi was disgusted with her. But somehow, after they returned, Susu was not only not punished, but was promoted to Shen Xiaoyi's personal maid!"

Xu Ronghua said, "I sent someone to contact her privately, and there was resentment in her words. It seemed that the reason Shen Xiaoyi promoted her was just because she hated her for betraying her master, so she deliberately kept her close to her so that she could be controlled and tortured."

"Since Shen Xiaoyi's mind is so unclear, I might as well use Susu's hand!"
