The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

soon.

Shunyi Bo's confession was brought in.

Liu Shuyi took the memorial from the eunuch and read it quickly.

Shunyi Bo's words were extremely humble and fearful. The whole memorial was filled with his ignorance and difficulties. He completely blamed all the crimes on Hong. He also expressed his true feelings and recounted Hong's past of taking lives and being jealous and unvirtuous in the backyard over the years. He also said that he was really too incompetent. It was not until Hong caused such a big disaster that he realized how despicable this woman was...

Every word and every sentence is an attempt to distance himself from the other party.

The fault was all that vicious woman's. He was just a dull man who knew nothing about the affairs of the inner chamber and who pitied poor women. He was willing to offer his ancestral fiefdom and title to atone for his sin of failing to take good care of his wife. As for that vicious woman - Your Majesty, please kill her. No one needs such a stain in their lives.

Although he was the head of the family, he was completely unaware of the woman's evil deeds and was very indignant.

Now he has divorced this vicious woman. After all, with his clear yet stupid eyes, how could he dare to look at such a vicious woman for even a second!

Trembling.

Liu Shuyi's hands were shaking.

Her body was also shaking uncontrollably.

Her eyes were bloodshot and her heart ached. With each breath she took, the air she could breathe became thinner and thinner. It was as if a huge bell was ringing incessantly in her mind, causing her to become deaf and blind, and to forget how to think... She turned into a living corpse that kept shedding tears.

Marquis Shunyi cannot leave his fiefdom. For so many years, it has been his mother who has been socializing and arranging things for him in Kyoto!

The concubines he took into the house, as well as the illegitimate children born from the concubines' wombs, were all taken care of by his mother with all her heart and soul.

They have been married for many years and have been together on the fiefdom before. How could this man be completely ignorant of his mother's temperament and methods?

In Liu Shuyi's memory, when Hong dealt with a concubine who had fallen out of favor, it was clear that Shunyi Bo also applauded and said that everything was fine as long as Hong was happy!

Know nothing...

Ah......

Damn his ignorance!

It was obvious that the old man was tired of playing around, so he sent the concubine he was tired of to Kyoto to vent his anger on his mother, in order to prevent Hong from quitting her job!

But her mother...also fell for it, and was firmly controlled by Lord Shunyi's "respect" for the mistress, and she has been supporting this whole family for so many years without any regrets!

Why? !

Liu Shuyi was willing to admit that her mother was not a good person, and she herself was not a good person either. But how could Shunyi get away with it after putting all the blame on her mother? !

If he wasn't so lustful and lustful that it wasn't enough for him to have sex with all the servants in the mansion, and he slept with prostitutes outside every day, and brought concubines one by one into the house regardless of their backgrounds, without any regard for his mother's reputation, how could his mother have... how could she have been forced into that state?

As women in the harem, all they can see is the square sky. When they encounter their own kind occupying the only piece of blue sky, they have never been taught that there is a way to break free from the shackles. They can only endure, be virtuous, and be tolerant. Then, under the day-to-day oppression, their nature is distorted and they are turned into poisonous insects that bite their own kind.

"Ah..." Like a person who was about to die, Liu Shuyi let out a rough and terrifying gasp from her throat.

"mother!"

"That's...my mother..."

The crying woman no longer had a trace of gentleness and charm, she was only concerned with venting the pain in her heart.

Her mother was a fool. She foolishly let the man hold her in his hands, tearing the flesh and blood of her own kind to fill the emptiness in her heart, and then she was ruthlessly abandoned by the man.

What about herself?

Liu Shuyi believed that as soon as the news of her crime spread, her father would immediately follow suit and distance himself from her vicious daughter, because he was stupid and powerless, and was not within the emperor's fear. Therefore, it was likely that after her death, he could continue to cling to his orphaned granddaughter to survive!

Why?

Liu Shuyi regretted it.

She couldn't help but think of the strange and magnificent world she encountered after traveling through time, of herself who was still curled up in her old shell in a different world, and of her husband who was chopped into pieces by a female cultivator in that world...

I can obviously live a completely different life.

Obviously...it is possible to fly out of this square sky.

She had bound herself.

The confession letter fell from her trembling hands, and Liu Shuyi collapsed to the ground weakly.

"Your Majesty... I, Liu, have committed a crime that is unforgivable. I am no longer qualified to be the princess' mother, and I have no face to continue living in this world..." Liu Shuyi tried to stop the trembling in her body and chose to fill her chest with another emotion. The only thing she cared about was her daughter. "Zhao Guipin, you have always been kind-hearted. I, the concubine, shamelessly ask you to be a witness for me!"

"Witness me... this sinner... severing my relationship with the princess..." She resisted the urge to wail and spoke heartlessly, "Your Majesty, please, please fulfill my only wish before I die."

Xie Yuzhen came out from behind the screen, covering her face with a round fan, and looked at the emperor with a pair of eyes that seemed to want to say something but couldn't: "Your Majesty, Liu Shuyi also loves her daughter, so just agree to it."

The emperor frowned even deeper, not quite understanding what Xie Yuzhen was planning. Perhaps making Liu Shuyi suffer like this would make her happier?

After a brief thought, he said, "Once the relationship is severed, what happens to the princess in the future will have nothing to do with you."

"I understand." Liu Shuyi lowered her head, as if her heart was dead.

"Okay." The emperor thought that she had finally awakened to her love for his daughter, so he immediately wrote a handwritten note and asked the eunuch to take it to the empress dowager.

See this.

Liu Shuyi finally breathed a sigh of relief. She slowly raised her trembling hands and touched the long plum blossom hairpin that had been sharpened and reinforced.

The emperor anticipated what she would do next and was about to raise his hand to stop her, lest Liu Shuyi be bleed to pieces on the spot and be difficult to clean up, but then he saw something strange happen!

Liu Shuyi's hand became extremely steady the moment she pulled out the long hairpin, and her next move was not to use the hairpin to commit suicide. Instead, she raised the hairpin and stabbed the emperor with a speed beyond that of an ordinary woman.

Even though the emperor was skilled in archery and horse riding, Liu Shuyi was not the weak lady common in that era. Even though she lacked combat experience due to her own avoidance, her determination to die and her anger were enough to allow her to break through the emperor's defense in an instant and pierce the sharp hairpin into her master's body.

The emperor could only rely on his body's instinct to narrowly avoid the vital points and turned sideways, allowing the plum blossom hairpin that symbolized love to pierce his left shoulder.

The moment he turned around, he saw Xie Yuzhen taking off the round fan that was covering her face. There was no surprise or fear on the woman's beautiful face, only a sickly yet charming smile.

she was--

It turns out that I'm not just throwing a tantrum to cause trouble for myself.

Instead.

He sent another woman to kill him.
