The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

Without Xie Yuzhen knowing, the harem had gradually begun to become chaotic. She was now only focused on figuring out what the system on Liu Xiaoyi's body did and how to deal with it.

When she visited Yanzhang Palace again, Xie Ruizhen saw outside the main hall that the palace maid she had seen the last time she came was punished to kneel outside the door. When the palace maid saw Xie Ruizhen, the expression on her face twisted for a moment, but she quickly lowered her head in silence.

Xie Yuzhen had no plan to visit Liu Shuyi. She walked leisurely past the palace maids, and when she passed the palace maid who was punished to kneel, she sighed "poor thing" intentionally or unintentionally.

Xie Ruzhen had heard about Liu Shuyi's bad temper when she was still outside the palace. She was raised by her grandmother and mother and was the eldest daughter who had the final say in the family. She would beat or punish the maids around her whenever she was unhappy... Xie Ruzhen didn't think she was a good person, but except for Qiu He, who was obviously disobedient, she was not very close to other palace people, but at least she was kind to them.

You know, since ancient times, those generals with bad tempers could be assassinated by their personal guards. Xie Yuzhen now feels a little overwhelmed to deal with the nails thrust by others, so he is even more unwilling to alienate the palace people around him.

Perhaps this is the confidence of a marquis's daughter.

Xie Wei really didn't have the confidence to do so. She saw resentment and resentment in the eyes of the palace maid who was punished to kneel, but she didn't know who the palace maid was resentful of. She sighed deliberately, just trying to push the palace maid's resentment towards Liu Shuyi. After all, she was just following the master's orders and came out to pass on the message twice.

But looking at her current situation, perhaps Liu Shuyi is taking her anger out on others for being punished by the Queen.

Arriving at the back hall where Liu Xiaoyi lived, Xie Yuzhen saw her sitting up from the couch as soon as she entered the door. She bowed slightly and said, "Please forgive me, my legs and feet are not very convenient now."

Xie Yuzhen hurried over to help her up: "I know you are not feeling well, and I won't blame you for it. Lie down first, and be careful not to move the wound."

After some gentle comfort, Xie Yuzhen sat down beside the bed and asked curiously, "How come you twisted your ankle for no reason?"

Liu Xiaoyi's expression froze, and she lowered her head and said, "I don't know why, but as soon as I went out, I felt my feet slip and I sprained my ankle on the flat ground..."

"Did you check the ground at that time?"

"I checked it," Liu Xiaoyi was also full of doubts. "The floor was clean and there was nothing on it. I... I even cut open the shoes I wore yesterday and checked them inside and out. There was nothing strange."

It was precisely because she could not find anything unusual that made her sprained ankle seem so strange. However, Liu Xiaoyi herself could not explain this strange feeling clearly. Sometimes she felt that maybe she was just unlucky, and the reason she felt uncomfortable was only because she was too unwilling to miss the opportunity to sleep with him.

"This is weird." While thinking about the system on Liu Xiaoyi, Xie Yuzhen had a terrifying thought - could it be that in addition to Liu Xiaoyi, there are other systems that want to "cannon fodder" themselves? !

And this system can make people unlucky?!

Xie Yuzhen's heart was pounding. She was pregnant now and couldn't withstand the kind of beating Liu Xiaoyi gave her.

Liu Xiaoyi was born with a petite appearance. This fall not only dislocated her ankle, but also left her hands and legs with many scratches. Xie Yuzhen hugged her belly anxiously, pretending to be mysterious: "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I grew up in the market, and I've heard a lot of weird things that are hard to understand. For example, this person fell down on the ground for no apparent reason. What the hell, a ghost pulled his foot!"

As she spoke vividly, Liu Xiaoyi's face suddenly turned pale. Seeing that the woman on the bed seemed to have recalled something, Xie Yuzhen patted his chest and said, "It is said that there are those resentful ghosts who died unlucky and can't bear to see others live well, so they try every means to make that person unlucky. Falling is a small matter. Losing the life-saving money, falling into the water tank for no reason while fetching water and being unable to get up, and even suffocating themselves to death by accident while sleeping on their stomach..."

The more Xie Yuzhen spoke, the more frightened she became. She rubbed her arms exaggeratedly: "Why am I telling you this?"

She raised her hands and clapped her lips twice in annoyance. "Don't be surprised, don't be surprised. Just listen to these words casually. I don't know whether they are true or not. It's just that since I got pregnant, I always like to have wild thoughts. I don't mean to scare you."

"Talented Lady Xie is only saying this because you are so close to me." Liu Xiaoyi smiled and said in a good-natured way, "Talented Lady, don't worry about me. I am just unlucky."

"Oh." Xie Ruizhen turned around and called Xia Zhi, who came in holding a few pieces of satin cut into half the size of a palm.

Xie Yuzhen took the satin and handed it to Liu Xiaoyi: "Originally, it was prepared to congratulate you on your sleeping with the emperor. Although now... I still brought it here. Take advantage of this time of recuperation to cut some nice clothes. You are still young and have a long life ahead of you. There is no need to rush."

These satins were samples specially selected by the Imperial Clothing Bureau for the concubines. Xie Yuzhen was pregnant and promoted during this period, so she got a lot of high-quality materials. She couldn't wear them all in a short time, so she might as well give them to her as a favor.

Liu Xiaoyi couldn't help but choke up, feeling a sense of bitterness in her heart.

She was born in a nunnery and lived a poor and hard life until her mother's sister came to find her when she was ten years old and gave her some silver, which started to make life better for the mother and daughter.

But her aunt only used her as a bargaining chip to win favor from the Marquis of Jingjun. This time, she took advantage of the situation and brought the mother and daughter to the Marquis of Jingjun. In fact, it was more for the child she was pregnant with... Her aunt did not want to be sent to Kyoto to live under Liu Hong's hands, and it was unknown whether she got what she wanted in the end.

If she could go back on time, Liu Xiaoyi would rather live a life of poverty than be recognized by the Marquis' Mansion and have her mother's life and death used to control her... She must struggle carefully to get rid of the control of the Marquis' Mansion of Jingjun while ensuring her mother's safety, and the talented Xie who is favored by the emperor is the best branch she can grab.

Even if she just wanted to use me to help consolidate her favor during her pregnancy, it was better than being beaten and scolded by Liu Shuyi all day long, and having to leave the mother and the child behind in the future!
