The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

Although the scarred woman in front of her only flashed before her eyes, it was still deeply imprinted in the queen's memory: "How could it be..."

When she looked forward again, Xie Yuzhen's body was no longer abnormal. The queen wanted to reach out and touch the place where the scar had been, but she was afraid of hurting him, so she withdrew her hand suddenly: "Did I see it wrong?"

Xie Yuzhen got the reaction he wanted and shook his head: "Your Majesty is not wrong."

"But the matter is too complicated, and it is difficult for me to explain it to you in a short time. Your Majesty has taken Lady Xu's medicine, and I believe you have guessed that she had an adventure, right?"

The queen nodded: "There have always been legends in this world about mortals who were lucky enough to meet fairies and were given treasures by the fairies. Although most of these are just means of spreading reputation, I have never seen whether they are true or false, but what Lady Xu and you brought out are all real good things, you..."

"Don't show this adventure to others so easily. We are already living an uncomfortable life. If we have such an adventure but don't have the corresponding force to protect ourselves, it will only become a lifelong shackle or a sword that takes our lives." In the queen's surprised eyes, Xie Yuzhen took over her words very naturally.

Then he said, "The Queen has already told me this once."

Although it was hard to believe, the queen still had a vague guess in her heart that made her tremble all over: "You... am I... dead or..."

"I couldn't catch up." Xie Yuzhen held the queen's hands tighter, "Your Majesty, if you want to accomplish something, you have to pay a price. I don't want you to die, so I risked my life to come back."

"You..." The queen's head was rumbling. She couldn't understand. She was indeed a little partial to Xie Yuzhen, but the rest was just her ordinary attitude towards the women in the harem. Why was it worth it for her to come with such horrible scars and insist on saving her life?

"My Lady." Xie Yuzhen seemed to have seen through her thoughts at this moment, and said very seriously, "Zhou Ting showed his love for me, but he wanted to use me, an ordinary civilian woman, as a shield and punching bag for his family for the sake of another woman's safety."

"Your Majesty helped me because he was attracted by certain qualities in me, and perhaps my appearance..." At the beginning, Xie Yuzhen only thought that the emperor was attracted to him just because of his face and his desire to seek something new and exciting.

But later he found out that the emperor had once been bound to the system, and even learned part of the history recorded in the future from the system...The relatively pure gratitude in Xie Yuzhen's heart gradually changed.

It was not that she was unaware that one should judge people by their actions rather than their intentions. Regardless of the emperor's original intention, it was a fact that he rescued her when she was at her lowest point. But... Xie Yuzhen was not a perfect man, let alone a saint. He was not even a good person in the universal sense. She just couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.

"I married into the palace for the second time, and had such an ugly quarrel with my ex-husband, but after I entered the palace, I almost never heard any rumors about my past from the palace people, and you even took the initiative to protect me several times." Xie Yuzhen couldn't help but sigh, and continued, "I have a bad temper and always like to cause trouble, but you have never despised me, and even took the initiative to advise Your Majesty to reunite my mother and me. On the day I gave birth, you deliberately set up a trap to lure Meng into the trap. Although you didn't know about it in advance, you believed my words without hesitation. I always wondered why you did these things, what was your purpose behind your kindness to me, and what were you planning behind my back..."

"But it's been so long, and I still haven't figured anything out."

"Why on earth can a person be so kind to someone he didn't know before and wasn't that familiar with later, and not ask for anything in return?"

"My lady..."

The queen met Xie Yuzhen's sparkling eyes and was unusually at a loss as to what to do.

Xie Yuzhen continued to press: "Perhaps my behavior seems strange to you, but I am such a stubborn person. If I can only watch you leave like this, then this matter will be stuck in my heart and throat for the rest of my life, like an iron thorn piercing my flesh and blood, and I will never rest in peace until I die!"

"My queen, please just think of this as helping me once again. Stay alive and help me sort out the anger in my heart. Just think of you being kidnapped by me, and being held high by my sweet talk. Just think of me forcing you to not die. Just think of me being extremely ambitious and wanting to hold your life and death in my hands!"

Her tone became more and more excited, and her delicate and beautiful face became more and more crazy.

The queen took a deep breath, and her already numb will was shaken by the shock: "I..."

The candlelight reflected on Xie Yuzhen's face swayed slowly, making her look even more like a ghost or a fairy: "I am not afraid of pain or death. Fighting against the sky for my life and struggling with fate for life is really a pleasure that is hard to find in a lifetime!"

"If I can't achieve enlightenment, I will be restless day and night even if I live. I might as well hit my head against the wall. Even if I die for my wish, it doesn't matter. I just want to live my life without regrets!"

When she saw the look of regret and compassion reappear in the queen's dead eyes, Xie Yuzhen knew that she had won again.

The queen's next move and words did not exceed her expectations: "I am not worthy of you. This injury... hurts a lot, right? How can I cure it?"

"Whether it's worth it or not is up to me, the one who has paid the price, to decide. As long as Your Majesty lives a good life, it will be the best medicine for me." Xie Yuzhen put away the crazy emotions that slipped out from the deepest part of her heart. She adjusted her expression and said, "Your Majesty, just rest assured and recuperate. I will take care of the affairs of the previous dynasty."

The most important purpose is to dispel the Queen's desire to die. This goal has been almost certain to be achieved after this period of moral kidnapping of the Queen. Next, all he needs to do is let the Queen take good care of her health, and then find a way to kill all those people who are behind the scenes. Xie Wei sincerely thinks that he can probably sleep peacefully for a while.

The queen was silent for a while, her expression no longer conflicted, but she still shook her head slowly at Xie Yuzhen: "I will no longer have the thought of seeking death, but the queen...cannot live."
