The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

"...How can such a tragedy exist in this world?"

Meng Ronghua looked at the palace servant who was kneeling in front of him and kowtowed to beg for mercy, and felt sorry for him. "Stop kowtowing. Your nephew is very pitiful, but you can't steal items from the palace and resell them. As a slave, it's good to be loyal, but what's more important is to be loyal to your superiors."

Upon hearing this, Palace Servant Xue trembled and cried with her face covered: "I know that I am sorry to my master for doing this, but...but the child was maliciously swapped with another one, and has been separated from his biological parents for more than ten years. Just when things were about to get better, this happened again..."

"I have been in the palace for more than 20 years, and I have long given up the idea of ​​leaving the palace to marry. He is the only man in my family..." Palace maid Xue said in a sad tone, "But I can't help him. He is so badly injured, and he needs money everywhere. I really have no choice, so I made such a big mistake."

"Please have mercy, Madam Ronghua!" The voice of Palace Lady Xue was extremely shrill. In the eyes of Meng Ronghua, who was unaware of the inside story, the nephew she was talking about was definitely her biological son.

How could we know that these two people just happened to have the same surname and had no idea of ​​each other's existence until a few days ago?

Seeing how affectionately this Xue Gongren treated her nephew, Meng Ronghua couldn't help but think of how much her parents doted on her when she was at home, so her heart softened: "Forget it, send the things back and don't do such things again. Xinxia, ​​give her some banknotes."

Xinxia untied her purse and took out a few silver bills from it. Without counting, she gave them directly to Xue Gongren. Xue Gongren was stunned for a moment, and her tears flowed more violently. She choked and kowtowed a few more times, and kept saying words of thanks.

Meng Ronghua accepted it calmly and waved his hand: "Okay, go ahead."

With tears on her face, Palace Lady Xue left in the same haste as when she appeared.

Glancing at her back, Meng Ronghua couldn't help but sigh to Xinxia: "Those commoners are really ignorant of etiquette and education. They are my aunt, but they can do such a thing, exchanging their own daughter for their brother's son, and..."

As she spoke, an idea flashed through her mind.

"...Didn't the palace maid say before that her family only had her nephew as a child?" Meng Ronghua felt that he had grasped the tail of inspiration. "If this matter had not been exposed, wouldn't her family have been extinct?"

She felt as if she could learn something from this incident, but she couldn't figure out what was worth learning for the moment, so she didn't wait for Xinxia to answer and fell into deep thought alone.

"......If the aunt was afraid that she would be blamed by her husband's family for giving birth to a daughter, she would have exchanged the son born by the eldest sister-in-law for hers. She shouldn't have raised the son as a daughter?" Meng Ronghua murmured, "Boys are precious. Who would go to the trouble of exchanging a girl for hers......!!!"

No matter how noble one's status is, can it be more noble than that of a prince? !

Xu Baolin's arrogant and extremely sarcastic voice emerged from Meng Ronghua's mind.

It is true that the prince is of noble status, but...what if he is not a prince at all, or even not the heir to the throne? !

Meng Ronghua finally caught the ray of inspiration she wanted, and a determined smile appeared on her face - one was from the Xie family, the other was from the Xu family, their backgrounds were far inferior to hers, why could these two daughters of low-class people step on her head? ?

Isn't it because she is favored, pregnant, and about to become the mother of the royal heir?

Ah!

She envisioned the scene where the prince born to Xie Cairen was revealed to be not of royal blood, but she didn't think at all about how to do it - from childhood to adulthood, Meng Ronghua had always been making demands and waiting for his subordinates to act. As for how the subordinates would achieve their demands, that depended on their abilities.

Anyway, she has many slaves and servants in her house. If this one doesn't work, she can just replace it with another one. It is their duty to please me and do things for me, and it is also an honor bestowed by me with kindness.

When Nanny Ji Lan hurried back and saw that Meng Ronghua seemed very calm on the surface, she just breathed a sigh of relief. She was about to tell Meng Ronghua that if Xu Baolin really wanted to take action against Cairen Xie, then she was indeed a better person to frame him than Concubine Zhang.

However, before Nanny Ji Lan could finish her words, her young master excitedly grabbed her and said, "Since one of the midwives is one of ours, why don't we ask them to secretly replace Xie's baby on the day of Xie's delivery? We can expose the truth later. This is a crime punishable by the execution of the entire clan, and even if His Majesty favors Xie, she must be executed!"

Aunt Jilan: ...

The members of the Xie family are members of the family, but those of us with the surname Meng are not?

Nanny Ji Lan began to feel a headache. She wished she could break down this extremely low probability of success thing into pieces and explain in detail the risks involved to Meng Ronghua. However, Meng Ronghua just felt that she was offending him.

"My aunt has given me the nanny, but I see she is always on my aunt's side?" Meng Ronghua was like a child who was making a fuss because he didn't get his toy. "What's wrong with my method? Besides, Xie came from the common people and has no foundation in the palace. My aunt has been running the palace for so many years. Even if she was killed... no one would be able to find out, right?"

"Hmph, Madam, you don't have to worry about what happens next. Just rest well in my palace." At this moment, Meng Ronghua had completely forgotten his promise to Ms. Huisu. Instead, he complained to Madam Ji Lan and his aunt. He complained that Ms. Huisu didn't trust him, and that Madam Ji Lan, a lowly slave, dared to control him again and again in the name of her aunt.

After forcibly confining Nanny Ji Lan, Meng Ronghua completely took over the power that Huisu had given her, which was the power that Meng had built up in the palace. She was eager to personally handle it for the first time and realize her "little request".

[She believed it...] In order to ensure that Meng Ronghua would come up with the idea of ​​exchanging children, Xie Yuzhen specially prepared a dream for her in which after the child exchange was successful, he would be exposed, fall out of favor, and be sentenced to death, while Meng Ronghua would become the emperor's new favorite concubine.

As a result, as soon as the dream-making system entered Meng Ronghua's dream, it was discovered that there was no need for any operation on its part. Meng Ronghua was already having a dream that was even more exaggerated than the one Xie Ruizhen had prepared for her.

Xie Yuzhen, who learned of this, said: [......]

After calming down for two seconds, she asked the dream-making system: [Are you sure that what was put on her before was indeed 'bad luck', and not some weird thing like 'madness' or 'madness'? ]
