The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

"Your Highness, what you said is really scary." Xie Yuzhen raised her hand and gently placed it on her chest, pretending to be scared. "On the way here, I also asked this palace servant. It was clearly because the palace servant of Your Highness did not explain clearly when he went to get the meal, so the Fourth Princess accidentally consumed the milk. How come in the words of Your Highness Shuyi, it became that this little girl deliberately murdered her?"

She clicked her tongue a few times and said, "Even if Madam Shuyi is angry, she shouldn't vent it on innocent people. We are in a high position and a few words can make life difficult for the people below us. I heard earlier that Madam Shuyi demoted the female official beside you without any fault. Fortunately, Concubine Xu was kind-hearted and took her in, otherwise..."

It was Cui Liu who was talking about it.

Liu Shuyi got angry after hearing this.

It was obvious that Cui Liu was a traitor who secretly sent information to Yuchunju, so I sent the person away. Is this a severe punishment?

She betrayed her master first, but I didn't even beat her up in public, leaving her to take responsibility for her own life and death. What else do you want?

Liu Shuyi's lips trembled with anger: "Perhaps Concubine Zhao doesn't know that the maid made a mistake here, so I drove her out. She was devoted to Yuchunju, so I simply gave her to Concubine Xu. Ha, Concubine Xu is good at business. It's obvious that she colluded with my maid. If it gets out, she will be regarded as a kind person, and I will be the bad person!"

If it wasn't necessary, Xie Yu really wouldn't go out of his way to find out how Lady Xu dealt with Liu Shuyi, but he really didn't know about this: "Is it really like this?"

Seeing that she didn't believe him, Liu Shuyi became even more upset: "I am a clumsy talker, and I can't learn the skills of the concubine's daughter to confuse right and wrong and flatter. Concubine Zhao, I heard that Concubine Xu was very warm to you. How come she became cold after you gave birth to the fifth princess and she got pregnant?"

Yo.

He even knows how to sow discord.

Xie Yuzhen decided to take back his previous words. It seemed that Liu Shuyi's IQ was not fully improved in how to please the emperor.

She smiled calmly, "Whether the relationship between me and Lady Xu is warm or cold, you don't have to worry about it, Madam Shuyi."

Liu Shuyi thought she had really hit Xie Yu's sore spot: "It's fine if Concubine Zhao can succeed on her own. If she were in my Jing...Shunyi Marquis's mansion, there would be absolutely no room for such a traitor!"

She openly said that Cui Liu betrayed her, but secretly she was referring to Concubine Xu and Xie Yuzhen. Unfortunately, she was wrong from the beginning: "In this palace, even sisters can turn against each other..."

Liu Shuyi smiled pretentiously. She didn't believe that any true love could arise between two women who shared the same husband. In her opinion, Concubine Xu became the favorite concubine today by relying on her past self to get the emperor's attention and taking advantage of the opportunity when Xie Yuzhen was pregnant and needed someone to consolidate his favor.

Seeing that she became distant from Xie Yuzhen after she became favored and pregnant, it turned out that this woman raised a born ungrateful person!

Liu Shuyi didn't believe that Xie Yuzhen would not have the slightest resentment towards Concubine Xu's behavior of competing for favor!

"I don't know whether Concubine Xu is giving birth to a prince or a princess. If it's a prince, I'm afraid he will be so proud of himself." Liu Shuyi was teasing herself. Xie Yuzhen tried to hold back a yawn that came out of boredom.

After talking a lot, Liu Shuyi finally remembered what her original purpose was.

At this time, the fourth princess had stopped crying under the comfort of the candied fruit. Liu Shuyi was increasingly dismissive of Xie Yuzhen's previous reminder: "You are getting off topic, Concubine Zhao. Even if the source of today's mistake lies in the carelessness of the people in my palace, the palace servant in the imperial kitchen must be careless!"

"I know. Didn't I bring her here?"

After Liu Shuyi said a lot of provocative words, her anger subsided a lot, but Xie Yuzhen was never afraid of adding fuel to the fire: "I just hope that Your Majesty will not do what you did in the past, and punish or even execute the palace maids arbitrarily because of your momentary anger... Haha, let me be frank first. If Your Majesty relapses into your old ways, then I will have no choice but to go to the Queen's palace."

"You!" Liu Shuyi's anger had just calmed down and she asked her to come up easily.

How could this man see himself this way?

I and that...that "Liu Luohua" are clearly not the same person, how can she still look at me with the old eyes? !

Liu Shuyi felt so disgusted as if she had swallowed a fly alive. She completely forgot that she had been expelled from the palace because she was resentful of Aunt Jia and others who had been taking care of the Fourth Princess and had exposed the behavior of "Liu Luohua" to protect the Fourth Princess.

She can blame others for past events, but if others use her past record to guard against or ridicule her, she will feel wronged.

Liu Shuyi was so disgusted that she no longer had the energy to target a small palace servant in the imperial kitchen. She simply fined Tong Yu's salary and ordered people to pin Tong Yu down in the yard and beat him with five boards. Then she let Xie Yuzhen take him away as if she was driving away a dirty thing.

After being punished, Tong Yu's face was covered with tears, she walked with a limp, and gasped in pain.

Xie Yuzhen saw that she was much more delicate than Zhen Tongyu, and he knew that this child had probably never suffered such a great hardship since she was a child, and he felt a little disappointed.

Her previous world must have been much better than it is now.

Xie Yu really wanted to send her back, and he also wanted to teach this unfortunate child a lesson. No matter how time changes, people's hearts are hard to change. Traveling in this world can be regarded as an adventure for her. She should learn not to be so reckless in the future...

She promoted Tong Yu to Shouning Palace, and planned to ask Yang Sishan to recommend a few trustworthy people to open a small kitchen in Shouning Palace after a while, so that Chunfen, who had recently started to study medicine, would have a place to practice.

That night.

As expected, the Yanzhang Palace hurriedly summoned the imperial physician because the fourth princess had gastrointestinal discomfort, and taking advantage of the chaos there, Concubine Xu quietly came to the Shouning Palace.

"Why do you come to my place so late? Can you bear it?" Xie Yuzhen hurriedly called people in, and asked Xia Zhi and others to go out to see if there were any eyes following them.

Concubine Xu, however, didn't care much about the baby in her belly: "I have set a nail in Yanzhang Palace these days, but I haven't acted yet. Suddenly, I heard that the fourth princess was sick again, and it also alarmed my sister. The nail should not be moved at the moment, but it is very important to my next plan, so I came to my sister in such a hurry to ask for news."

As she spoke, she looked a little ashamed; she had clearly said that she would handle it herself, but now she had to trouble Sister Xie again.

Xie Yuzhen reached out and tapped Lady Xu's forehead: "I don't think it's a big deal. It's just that the fourth princess is picky and the servants didn't serve her attentively, so she got upset..."

She told the story again, and Lady Xu nodded thoughtfully: "Then next, Liu Shuyi should find the old man who used to serve the Fourth Princess. She has messed up her own situation this time, and it has helped my plan!"

"Oh?" Xie Wei was really interested.

Lady Xu did not hide anything: "Liu Shuyi has injured and exiled quite a few palace maids over the years, not to mention the few who served the Fourth Princess before. They have had a very hard life. Moreover, Liu Shuyi would not remember how many palace maids she has exiled, let alone what they look like or what their names are. But I remember them clearly."
