The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

Xie Yuzhen glanced at Chen Peiluan again, and the coldness on his face faded away: "After all, we still have to consider General He's face. Besides, although she has the intention to harm others, she has not really hurt others. I am not so unreasonable to judge her future crime based on her incomplete actions."

After hearing this, Chen Peiluan found that she couldn't understand what kind of person Empress Xie was like. However, she felt a sense of relief and shame in her heart - she felt relieved because when she was just reborn, she had not been able to put into practice the vicious thoughts she had towards Lin Qiao due to the inexplicable anxiety and long-accumulated resentment... So, she had not reached a dead end with Empress Xie.

The shame came from the fact that Lin Qiao and Tao Er had not even met yet, but he had already used something that had not happened yet to determine Lin Qiao's "future sin". No wonder...

Chen Peiluan's heart was filled with bitterness, and she finally faced for the first time the thing she had never wanted to face.

Empress Xie has such a broad mind and such courage. No wonder the female officials in the future dared to rebel against their families, their fathers and brothers, and run away from home to enter the officialdom. If... if I had such a strong supporter standing behind me, then... why would I have to keep my eyes on Tao Er and his family's title?

"Your Majesty is magnanimous." With a mouth full of bitterness, Chen Peiluan's tongue, which had just been praised for its dexterity, now seemed to be rusted, and she could only utter these four words in the end.

Xie Yuzhen briefly observed the woman's reaction, waved his hand to signal her to stand up, and then said casually: "I shouldn't have disturbed my sister who is still recovering from her injuries, but today, for some reason, the palace servants at the Second Prince's place found many things wrong, and even the Empress Dowager was angry. Although my mother has always been kind and would not ask her children with disabilities to enter the palace to take care of her, I still want to ask Madam Chen to inform my sister in advance."

Make preparations early.

Chen Peiluan heard this meaning from Xie Yuzhen's words and was shocked.

Queen... Could it be that she even knows about the private relationship between me and Princess Rong Le?

She retreated respectfully with a feeling of trepidation in her heart.

Xie Yuzhen, with curved eyebrows, smiled falsely. The curtain of a small door behind him was pulled by someone, and Lu Weiyuan walked over steadily with a pair of short legs: "Mother, Yuanjun just heard you talking about tigers or something, why did you let the tiger go?"

After Lu Weiyuan turned one year old, her growth rate was obviously slower than before. Perhaps it was because she was the first child to speak, so Xie Yuzhen took the immortal cultivation technique and taught her secretly. As a result, her growth rate was no longer faster than other children of the same age, but she was healthier and stronger than her peers.

And although her physical growth rate returned to that of a normal child, Lu Weiyuan's mental growth was getting better day by day. This three-year-old child was already very organized in her words and deeds. What was even more rare was that she did not have the laziness and resistance like other children when it came to learning and seeking knowledge. Instead, she loved asking questions and thinking very much. Sometimes even Xie Yuzhen and the emperor found it difficult to answer some of her questions.

"Tigers not only eat livestock, but also attack humans. Why should we catch and release such a ferocious creature instead of killing it?" Lu Weiyuan climbed onto the chair by himself and then lay on his mother's lap.

Xie Yuzhen has always been more patient with his daughter than with others: "This tiger is not that tiger, but a tiger is used to describe people. Tigers are wild beasts. People who kill tigers are warriors and heroes. But if a person wants to kill another person who is like a tiger, then it is not a simple matter."

"Besides, although that tiger is a little bit stupid, she is a tiger with family and parents. If I take her life because of her evil intentions that have not been fulfilled, not only will I make more enemies and troubles for nothing, but some ducks will whine and scream at me and your father, which is really annoying."

"But if I raise her offense high and then let it go, making her hate me more, making her more proud of my tolerance, and allowing her bad temper to continue to be my enemy... then, if I kill her again, I am afraid that after she dies, those who would have pointed their swords at me because of her untimely death will praise me for my magnanimity and tolerance."

After Xie Yuzhen finished speaking, she felt that she had been sleeping in the same bed with the emperor for too long, and seemed to have really been infected with his bad tastes. However, she did not deny that it was indeed a bit interesting to have people, especially those well-dressed and powerful people, in the palm of your hand.

The emperor's own daughter laughed happily: "Just like last time when my fourth sister pushed me, I didn't blame her. I said I forgave her, but in fact it was because I was the younger sister and couldn't punish the older sister. I wanted father to punish her, and father did punish her. It seems that my grandmother felt especially sorry for me because of this!"

Lu Weiyuan's dark eyes gleamed with light: "In fact, it doesn't matter what happens to my fourth sister. For Yuanjun, what matters is that my father will punish her for me. However, my grandmother's love for me is an unexpected surprise."

"How interesting!" She clapped her hands and smiled innocently and cutely, "When I grow up a little bit, I will tell this to my fourth sister."

"Little ancestor, be quiet." Xie Yuzhen gently pinched his daughter's face.

Lu Weiyuan was precocious, smart and lively, but she was not a difficult master to serve for the palace servants. This was mainly because Princess Yuyi loved to keep an eye on her siblings and elders, and would occasionally take care of the children sent by the nobles and relatives to the imperial study to accompany the royal heir to study.

She was so young that many people were not on guard against her. Even when she suffered a loss, they could not think that it was Lu Weiyuan who set the trap for her.

“Yuanjun is so well-behaved, cute and likable, she would never cause trouble on purpose. It is obvious that my fourth sister is already so old, but she still comes to tease me on purpose. If she takes the initiative, then Yuanjun will definitely not sit there and wait for death!” She clenched her fists and waved them in the air, looking full of energy.

Xie Yuzhen grabbed his daughter, who had jumped off the chair and waved her hands in protest, by the back of her collar and pulled her back up: "Your grandmother told your second brother to be angry. Even if you want to compete with your fourth sister, don't make a scene in the Cining Palace."

"Yuanjun is just young, not stupid." Lu Weiyuan calmed down instantly like a cat that had its neck bitten. "Grandmother is not in good health, so Yuanjun will certainly not let her worry about it anymore. If Fourth Sister wants to give me a bad face again, I can just pull Father's hair!"

Xie Yuzhen:....This is the bloodline of the Lu family that has seen the devil!
