The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

Upon hearing this, Lady Xu was stunned. After a few breaths, she sighed and said, "I never thought that she could be so... ambitious."

"Then what should the fourth princess do?"

"I thought you would ask about that thing first?" Xie Yuzhen smiled and raised his hand, pointing to his head.

Lady Xu blinked: "Is it really my sister who took it away?"

She didn't feel reluctant at all, instead she looked relieved: "Then I feel relieved, that thing is really strange, and it also said a lot of things that I don't know if they are true or false. Although it is indeed very useful, I always feel that I can't really control it. Things that cannot be controlled by oneself always make people feel uneasy."

After saying that, Lady Xu muttered softly, "Besides, that thing is still in my head. I feel numb all over just thinking about it."

Xie Yuzhen was amused by her: "Just think of it as a chance encounter between a mortal and a fairy in a storybook. There is no need to think too much about it. As for the fourth princess... Liu Shuyi had already severed ties with her daughter before assassinating Your Majesty. Now the fourth princess is being raised in the Cining Palace. Maybe in the future, she will choose a mother for her."

After that, Xie Yuzhen couldn't help but ask her: "So, do you want to raise the fourth princess?"

Lady Xu shook her head repeatedly: "I don't understand how to raise a child, and I don't want to raise her child. There is hatred between us. Even if... even if we are indeed related by blood, I will not be so careless as to raise the child of my enemy."

"As for the Fourth Princess... the hatred between us should not involve Zhier, but if she grows up and thinks that I killed her mother, I will not show her mercy."

The fourth princess is six years old this year, at an age when she can barely remember anything. Although she is unsure of her future, even though Concubine Xu has little conscience, she does have a bottom line. She cannot do anything to an ignorant child who can already talk and walk and is about to lose her mother.

Xie Yuzhen had a similar attitude towards the other royal heirs in the palace. If they wanted to compete for the throne in the future, they would have to fight to the death before they could make their move. If she could guarantee her daughter's throne by simply having abortions and killing children in the harem, and not make the emperor resent her for slaughtering his own sons and daughters...then why did she and the queen have to make so many plans, just to be able to stand openly in the Lizheng Hall and discuss state affairs with the emperor?

Moreover, the current heirs of the throne are at most just vying for the emperor's attention in a naive way. In this regard, his precious daughter has a natural advantage, and Xie Yuzhen has never worried about it.

"Sister, the queen... has passed away. What are your plans for the future?" After chatting for a few sentences in a relaxed atmosphere, Concubine Xu finally took the initiative to bring up this topic.

In the future that she learned from the miracle medicine system, the queen clearly still had several years to live, and the stone tablet case that had just happened had never happened. It only recorded that the queen had a dispute with the emperor, and then she disobeyed the emperor for something, and died of a heart attack after being reprimanded. Although she was not deposed, she was not posthumously honored.

Xie Yu really had no intention of keeping the Queen's fake death a secret from Concubine Xu. She believed that Concubine Xu was a tight-lipped person. But now the Queen and Concubine Ning were still not far away, and the Emperor was still in grief over the loss of his wife. He had been a little sensitive in his mind in recent days.

To be on the safe side, Xie Yuzhen planned to wait until the emperor's condition was stable enough and he had completely grasped the things in his hands, and then slowly reveal the whole story to Concubine Xu. At the moment, he could only show his sadness and nostalgia appropriately, and replied: "Marquis Yuyang and others harmed the queen for the position of queen, but in fact, the queen and I were aware of it before he attacked, but at that time... the queen's body was too bad, we only had time to plan a counterattack against Marquis Yuyang and others, but we never thought that they were so bold that they first killed Concubine Ning, and then asked Concubine Wang to talk nonsense in front of everyone, and the queen..."

The two looked at each other and fell into silent sorrow at the same time.

"Marquis Yuyang is really despicable, but fortunately his evil plan failed, and he was able to take advantage of the situation to dig up Shen's old case. Although this man is indeed despicable, he is also somewhat pitiful. If she were not a member of Marquis Yuyang's Mansion, she might not have ended up in such a tragic state." Concubine Xu hated Shen Nanliu, but because of an inexplicable feeling of sympathy, she hated Marquis Yuyang's Mansion, which was similar to the former Marquis Shunyi Mansion, even more.

"Now that these two palaces are destroyed, it can be regarded as a kind of karma. I just wonder how Wen Baolin is doing now?"

"Wen Baolin..." Xie Yuzhen almost forgot the existence of this person.

Wen Baolin is a typical daughter of a noble family. Although she once had good intentions towards Shen Nanliu, she did not understand her feelings and only used what she thought was a good attitude to take care of and persuade this non-blood-related sister.

In her eyes, as a noble, one is inherently superior to ordinary people, and becoming a noblewoman, with better living conditions and marriage resources, is also the biggest and best opportunity in Shen Nanliu's life.

But Shen Nanliu was very uneasy about this "opportunity" and could not adapt to life in the Yuyang Marquis' Mansion. Moreover, everyone in the mansion, from top to bottom, had been bullying and suppressing her intentionally or unintentionally. On the one hand, they despised her for her humble family background, and on the other hand, they were afraid that she would not remember how much of a favor she had received in order to be able to rise from a common girl to a noble lady in the Marquis' Mansion. They had to guard against her becoming an ungrateful person and starting to get nervous.

Because of her face that resembled Wen Baolin, Shen Nanliu was bullied everywhere, excluded and belittled every day. She was called the adopted daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, but in fact she was just a plaything of Wen Baolin's family... Not to mention, in order to take her away, the master also killed her mother...

Without knowing anything about the inside story, Wen Baolin just followed her own heart and wanted to treat Shen Nanliu well and persuade her to become her real sister. But she was actually completely wrong, so that Shen Nanliu, who was not very smart to begin with, deeply hated this "good sister" in her past and present lives. Before her rebirth, or even before entering the palace in her previous life, Shen Nanliu might have already gone crazy.

"The three clans of Marquis Yuyang were all convicted, so naturally she could not escape. However, His Majesty spared her the death penalty because she was always gentle and considerate, and had been bedridden for a long time and knew nothing about this matter. He only ordered her to be deposed and sent to the cold palace."

"But the few palace maids who followed her were not so lucky. Those who were found to be involved with the Marquis of Yuyang's Mansion were all executed. Now, she is also a commoner Shen who has been sent to the cold palace. But I don't know if these two Shens will end up in the same way."

People in the cold palace came and went, but Qian Xianhui and the small vegetable patch she had cultivated after getting countless blisters on her hands and feet remained thriving.
