The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

After Miao finished cursing, she immediately felt relieved, and even the noble stepdaughter of the empress was not so scared anymore.

She said in one go: "Madam, please tell me what you have done first... You have been framed, how will our family be implicated!"

Liu Shuyi stared with wide eyes at Miao, who was always submissive in front of her. Her mind was still troubled by Miao's words that Hong had been divorced by Marquis Shunyi. She didn't know how to react for a moment.

Hearing her insisting on digging into the matter, he became even more furious: "What else can I do? It's nothing more than dismissal and demotion!"

Liu Shuyi said this viciously. She couldn't figure out how she ended up in this situation. She clearly had some cultivation skills, which made her different from the ignorant mortals in this world. Although this cultivation skill could only make her more and more beautiful, and its effect on strengthening her body was also discounted.

It was obvious that His Majesty also liked the changes in herself, and loved her simple, indifferent and otherworldly appearance even more - even though she was not the most favored concubine in the harem and there was another Concubine Xu who was no less favored than her and was competing for his favor.

Clearly everything was going according to plan, so why would he suddenly say that everything he did was arranged by someone?

Liu Shuyi had a lot of thoughts in her mind for a moment.

She understood most of what happened that day, and gradually figured it out. She did all these things because Concubine Deng was behind it. She was mainly responsible, but... she was the one who took out the Bewitching Incense to frame Concubine Xu, and Concubine Xu's child was indeed hers... She deliberately pushed her pregnant belly against the threshold, and she died...

Shivering, Liu Shuyi began to miss her daughter.

In fact, she didn't know how the emperor would deal with her, but the dark time before the answer was revealed was the most difficult. Before Miao came, she already felt full of anxiety and was almost driven crazy.

"Then I feel relieved." Miao breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest with the hand that didn't hurt as much.

Looking at her vulgar appearance, Liu Shuyi no longer had the mood to laugh at her.

Yes.

The Liu family is a top noble family that has been passed down since the founding of the country. Even if they were completely squeezed out of the Kyoto circle after several generations, they still had the trump card of Jing County to defend. But... now the title of marquis and the ancestral fiefdom are no longer there, and they have completely become a joke in the noble circle.

But even so... if he was convicted again this time, he was only implicated. What's more, the real mastermind behind the scenes this time was not himself, and the charges against the Shunyi Marquis' Mansion would only be lighter... They still have official positions, titles, and money to atone for their sins!

And what about yourself?

The best outcome would be to be banished to the cold palace like Qian and Shen, and live the most miserable life.

If Xu or anyone else acted coquettishly towards the emperor, he might even take his own life just to please the beauty... The more Liu Shuyi thought about it, the more scared and unwilling she became.

She always liked to punish others to show her noble status and the emperor's favor, but when she realized that she was about to become the object of arbitrariness by others taking advantage of the emperor's favor, she inevitably felt afraid.

wrong!

I also have Baohui!

I am the princess’ biological mother, he won’t... won’t... Liu Shuyi wanted to convince herself that the emperor would not humiliate her because of her identity as a daughter, but...if he just ordered her to be put to death, how could it be considered a humiliation?

People are dead.

The mistake was covered up.

Then give her a nice position and title, put her in a coffin, and place her in the concubine's tomb, and her life will be over.

Then, he would find an adoptive mother for Baohui of equally noble status... What if, what if that person had her own child, or was not nice to Baohui?

Whenever Liu Shuyi thought about the fact that after her death, her consciousness would no longer exist, she would no longer be able to perceive anything, and even all traces of her existence would be gradually erased, she would feel a great panic in her heart.

Looking at Miao's expression which had involuntarily relaxed, another wave of resentment in Liu Shuyi's heart fiercely broke through her barrier of self-deception and grew out.

If it weren't for the fact that Shunyi Bo had deliberately wanted to use the concubines to find out the emperor's thoughts, why would I enter the palace?

Find a handsome man in Jing County to marry, and his whole family will never dare to disrespect her!

If not... if I hadn't entered the palace but wasn't careful enough and made mistakes and lost favor, and I only had Baohui, why would my mother send Xu to the palace again, and finally let her lose her life...

Liu Shuyi suddenly felt a painful suffocation.

Hong might not be a good person, but to Liu Luohua, she was the only caring mother who obeyed him in everything and even helped cover up mistakes like murder.

Her hair was disheveled, her eyes were empty, and she was lost in her memories. Her silence, like a corpse, made Miao feel cold in her heart, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Liu Shuyi ignored her and walked back to the main seat, sitting down in a rather dejected manner.

"......Mother, oh mother, you told me since I was young that I must learn to be filial to my parents and help you please my father......" Regardless of her cold body, she took the things given by her father and stood devoutly in the night wind waiting for the man to express her filial piety to him. Liu Shuyi has experienced a lot since she was a child.

Not to mention being really sick, or pretending to be sick, and calling Shunyi Bo from his aunt's room overnight... For Liu Shuyi, these were all normal means for her mother to do for her and herself, and for Liu Shuyi to do for herself and Bao'er to gain the attention and care of the father.

"...but I seem to be making more and more mistakes the more I do..."

Liu Shuyi murmured, her eyes falling on the familiar dress for ladies again - her mother was dead and divorced, so even if she came back to life, she would not be able to wear this dress.

"I really want to write to you again, but as soon as I pick up the pen, I will remember that there will never be a reply from you again..." Liu Shuyi looked at Miao calmly, "Where is the princess?"

Miao was a little afraid of her now, and whispered, "The maid from the Cining Palace took her away."

"I understand." Liu Shuyi suddenly sighed.

Miao suddenly regained some courage: "Madam, is there going to be a death in our family?"

"Dismissal, stripping of title, or simply demoting to a commoner, what are you worried about? My father is so useless, Your Majesty will not really kill all the Liu family members for Baohui's sake."

The only one who needs to die here is me.

they.

The mansion that sucked the flesh and blood of himself and his mother can still have a future because of his daughter.

Liu Shuyi took a deep breath: "I want..."

She raised her voice and shouted, "Noble Concubine Zhao!"
