The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

What Xie Wei could really gain from it was to get to know the emperor in the safest position, and after he was forced to withdraw from the game between the monarch and his subjects, he showed his extremely violent side.

This game was the last lesson the Queen left for her before she decided to leave.

This is also what Xie Ruizhen lacks most at the moment.

As a commoner woman from an ordinary background, the Lu Yesheng that Xie Yuzhen knew was never complete. He was initially just a wild emperor who passed by when Xie Yuzhen was desperately trying to survive, and later became the man with whom Xie Yuzhen had to be entangled for the rest of her life. This man would give her "love" and indulgence, and would not be afraid of her getting involved in power, and would even teach her personally how to wield power. However, even if the emperor no longer regarded Xie Yuzhen as a little pet in his palm, but regarded her as a "person" like himself, the emperor would never easily show the violence in his hands to Xie Yuzhen.

This is the most critical and fundamental power that the country has given him in terms of etiquette, bloodline, and system. Once it is revealed, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the court and the country.

But if Xie Yu was really aiming for that position, she must learn to face, and even use and steal such violence in advance.

This is another purpose of the Queen besides revealing the truth.

With the help of the emperor's violence, she was able to do many things that she could not do before leaving.

For example, the hatred of the souls who died silently at the hands of Concubine Deng, the wronged souls who turned into strings of numbers and left the world in the flood that year, the collapse and despair of the humiliated girl, and the white silk covered with blood when Shen Nanliu committed suicide...

"...After the nobles in the capital are reshuffled, the real chance for 'Marquis Yongjia' will come." That night, the queen taught Xie Yuzhen the most shocking lesson in the most gentle voice.

Now we have reached the most critical step of that lesson.

Xie Yuzhen was eagerly absorbing the experience she could get from this incident. After awakening the emperor's vigilance, she pretended to be sad and dazed, and faced the unfriendly looks of some courtiers. She stood in the hall where only men stood, and openly learned from the emperor how to split the order for a thorough investigation into different departments with a cold face, completely bypassing those involved in the incident and distributing them one by one.

Well-organized and orderly.

She watched how the emperor easily mobilized the huge machinery of the "imperial court" at the palm of his hand, and she also discovered that as long as the emperor was serious, no one from top to bottom dared to neglect his orders. Even such a big case, after being carefully investigated by countless people, could reach the result closest to the truth in the fastest time.

The palace maids who went to the inner palace to investigate were led by Li Zong himself. Feng Xiang also brought news from the Cining Palace that Empress Dowager Hu did not interfere in the death of Concubine Ning. As for the treasurer named "Wang Yue", Li Zong arrested her in a short time.

However, since nothing could be found out from Wang Yue for the time being, Li Zong came to report the information he had found out.

"Your Majesty, Wang Yue, the female official of the treasurer, is recorded in the household registration as the eldest daughter of the 27th household in Liuhua Lane, Yuhuafang, Beijing. She has parents, a younger brother and a younger sister." Li Zong reported clearly, "Her father is a peddler, and he usually moves around Yuhuafang. Her mother takes care of the housework at home, and occasionally goes to Yujinzhuang to sell embroidery to supplement the family income. Her sister is already married, and the man is a merchant from Jiangnan. I have ordered someone to go and investigate."

He paused and said, "His younger brother is still young and is currently studying at the White Horse Academy."

It sounds like a perfectly normal background.

But it made Marquis Yuyang break out in a cold sweat.

Although he was not so concerned about the affairs of his subordinates, after hearing about Wang Yue's background, he still remembered - wasn't this the family background of a nail that his family had arranged to enter the palace many years ago?

Realizing that things were beyond his control, Marquis Yuyang couldn't help but feel uneasy.

But at the same time, he still held on to some hope that he would not be able to find it in himself.

Li Zong continued, "When I was investigating, I found that Yujin Manor, where Wang Yue's mother often went, was the Yuyang Marquis's mansion. The merchant who married Wang Yue's younger sister as the dowry of Master Shen's wife was one of the suppliers of Yujin Manor. But the strange thing is that in all these years, the merchant only came to Kyoto once, and returned home after marrying. The day he came to Beijing was also the day when Master Shen brought the commoner Shen back to the Marquis' mansion from Jiangnan."

He was an old eunuch, with droopy eyelids. His expression was completely different from the one he had when facing Xie Yuzhen, the favorite concubine. He had a cold feeling that belonged to the emperor's blade. "What's more coincidental is that the registered residence of this merchant is also the same as the hometown of the commoner Shen family."

Can we really find so much in such a short time?

Xie Yuzhen was a little surprised, but then she remembered that Shen Nanliu's death was so tragic, and the white silk she left behind, which described her own experience, was also taken away by the emperor or the empress after her death. Although the emperor and the empress did not attack the Yuyang Marquis' Mansion at that time, given their personalities, they must have started an investigation after getting the white silk. Now, they are just taking advantage of this incident to dig up the old case.

It seems that the emperor is really angry.

Xie Yuzhen thought coldly - then, between his biological father's face and his own face, what choice will the emperor make?

The answer to this question does not require a specific answer.

As she listened quietly to the progress of the investigation, she also got to know the queen again.

As the Queen said that night, she was indeed a person with a bad temper. Marquis Yuyang and others wanted to use this matter to seize the throne, so she would have to follow their arrangements and force the emperor to choose between the late emperor and himself. Should she follow the investigation route given by the Queen and follow her arrangements to find out that the emperor had prepared poisoned wine for the late emperor to frame his political enemies, or should she peel off the skin of the late emperor, an old man who was not a human being, in order to preserve the legitimacy of her own succession?

The emperor is so filial that he would definitely choose to sell his father who died early.

That.

As the culprits who interfered with the palace, arbitrarily "granted death" to the concubines, frightened the queen to death, and put the emperor in a dilemma, forcing him to tear off his father's face with his own hands, Yuyang Hou and others became the best teaching materials to show Xie Yuzhen the supreme violence in the hands of the emperor.

The entire court moved in accordance with the emperor's firm and cold orders, and every person involved in the case was singled out and re-examined under the eyes of the public.

Wang Yue's identity was fake. Under torture, she finally confessed that she and her so-called family members were all from the Marquis of Yuyang's Mansion, but she refused to admit that she had ordered the death of Concubine Ning.

Marquis Yuyang knelt on the ground to plead guilty, but the words of excuse in his heart were blocked in his throat by the emperor's wave of his hand. He was unable to finish his words, and his face turned from pale to purple with cold sweat.
