The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

When Liu Hong heard the word "royal heir", she was extremely angry and did not dare to fight back.

But Xie Yuzhen was not polite to her at all and slapped her in the face several times - God knows, when she was a child, Xiao Xie was only a quiet girl who could only hold an embroidery needle. After she married a scumbag and found that slapping a scumbag was so satisfying, she couldn't stop herself and it was difficult for her to become the gentle and lovely girl she used to be.

Faced with Xie Yuzhen's fierce attack, Liu Hong was caught in a dilemma, unable to focus on one thing and not being able to fight back, for fear of hurting the precious body of the concubine.

She is obviously a pregnant woman, but how come she is so strong? She is indeed a rough and barbarian with muddy legs!

Liu Hong could only curse in her heart. She protected her swollen head and turned to run. Xie Yuzhen stretched out his long hand and grabbed Liu Hong's hair. Amid her screams, he pushed her against a nearby tree and said, "Don't you know where you are? You're so lucky to be a marquis' wife, but you don't even deserve to be in the front row at a banquet!"

All the ladies of the inner and outer palaces of the Da Sheng Dynasty had official titles granted by the court, but as women of the inner palace, they were already members of the royal family, and naturally a level higher than the ladies of the outer palaces. Even though Liu Hongshi was the wife of the Marquis of Jingjun and was of the first rank, her position was not only behind the lowest-ranking palace concubines, but she could not even sit in the front row among the ladies of the outer palaces.

She is the wife of a county marquis, and before her there are wives of county dukes, wives of state dukes, and married daughters of the royal family, etc...

The Jingjun Marquisate is special only because they have a fiefdom. If we really talk about status and power in Kyoto, they are actually just a small shrimp.

"Help! Help! Concubine Xie is going to beat someone to death!" In the end, Liu Hong had no choice but to throw away her reputation as a "daughter of a noble family" that she was most proud of, and shouted loudly.

By the time Huizhu hurriedly brought a group of palace servants to stop the two men, Liu Hong's cheeks were already swollen, her hair was disheveled, and she looked in a miserable state.

Xie Yuzhen just panted slightly and said, "You've come just in time. Hurry up and arrest this woman who committed treason, slapped the concubine, and attempted to murder the heir to the throne!"

Murdering the royal heir?

Liu Hong opened her mouth to refute: "It is clear that it was Lady Xie who beat me for no reason. How could I dare to murder the heir to the throne? I want the Queen to make the decision!"

Liu Xiaoyi, who quietly came to Xie Ruizhen's side, couldn't help but gently pull Xie Ruizhen's sleeve when she heard the words.

It was indeed wrong for Liu Hong to hit her, a palace concubine, but it was also hard to justify Xie Yuzhen beating Liu Hong into this state.

"Thank you, sister..." She had mixed feelings at the moment, but she still didn't have the confidence to face Liu Hong, who controlled her biological mother's life and death. Liu Xiaoyi stood on tiptoe and whispered in Xie Yuzhen's ear, "Sister, I will remember your help this time, but it's hard for me to part with Jingjun Marquis Mansion. I'm afraid I will let you down this time."

Xie Yuzhen turned around to look at her, and without paying attention to Liu Hong who was crying and asking to see the queen, he comforted Liu Xiaoyi and said, "Since you call me sister, I will turn around for you."

She knew what Liu Xiaoyi was worried about, but Xie Yu really couldn't take the initiative to say it. She helped Liu Xiaoyi, firstly to gain the trust and favor of this woman, and secondly, Liu Hong's face was really ugly, which made her itchy.

Thinking of this, Xie Yuzhen became more gentle: "If you have any concerns that are inconvenient to tell others, just tell me. I am a scoundrel, and I am pregnant with the royal heir. No matter how much trouble I make, as long as I don't embarrass His Majesty, His Majesty will not do anything to me."

Liu Xiaoyi bit her bloody lips but still couldn't say anything.

Xie Yuzhen's eyes darkened, adding fuel to the fire: "It's rare for these ladies from outside the palace to come into the palace. If we want to deal with her, there won't be a better time than today. Besides, she is in the palace with only a maid. Even if she wants to do something to the outside world, the news can't be passed on."

It is long past the time for the royal family to rule the world together with the aristocratic families.

In today's Dasheng, only the emperor is supreme, and the so-called aristocratic families that had long been crippled are nothing more than chess pieces in his hands. Liu Hongshi does not have the ability to order people around at this time and ask them to do anything to Liu Xiaoyi's mother.

"You are the one who suffers today, and this is a good time for you to win the sympathy of His Majesty and His Majesty." Xie Yuzhen's words were full of temptation. She saw that Liu Xiaoyi kept blinking and was already very shaken.

Finally, Liu Xiaoyi bent her knees and was about to bow to Xie Yuzhen: "Please help me, sister!"

Xie Yuzhen lifted her up with his backhand and said, "That's it. When you see the queen later, pay attention to my eyes. When the time comes, you can say whatever you want. You are the imperial concubine, a member of the royal family. She, a marquis' wife, dares to offend you. She is the one who deserves death!"

Liu Xiaoyi sniffed, her nose felt sore. She nodded randomly and lightly touched the side of her face where she was slapped. New blood dripped from the bloodstains that had already solidified at the corner of her mouth. "Thank you, sister. Before... I didn't really want to befriend Meng Ronghua. It's just that Madam Hou locked my mother up in that shameful nunnery. I was too impatient and wanted to get close to her... I won't say any empty words to you. Just wait and see. From now on, I will follow your lead!"

Xie Yuzhen just smiled slightly.

She didn't care about what happened between Liu Xiaoyi and Meng Ronghua before. If Liu Xiaoyi hadn't been selected by the system, she would never have chosen to contact her.

And now, no matter what Liu Xiaoyi thinks in her heart, Xie Yuzhen just needs her to have a close attitude with him.

So she became more affectionate: "Sister, that's not the case... But I don't have many people in the palace who I can talk to. As long as you come to accompany me often in the future, I will be very happy."

Xie Yuzhen took Liu Xiaoyi's hand and patted it gently: "Let's go, let's ask the Queen to make the decision."

Behind the main hall.

The Queen, who was busy arranging the palace banquet, felt her forehead begin to hurt again when she heard the news. She handed the matter to Concubine Deng and said, "There's a mess inside. Concubine Deng, you stay here and watch over it. I'll be back soon."

Concubine Deng stood up and responded. Concubine Ning beside her was a little curious: "What happened again?"

The queen looked at her helplessly and said, "The wife of the Marquis of Jing County beat Liu Xiaoyi, and then Lady Xie beat the wife of the Marquis of Jing County again."

"Ah?" Even a calm and dignified Concubine Deng couldn't help but break her composure, "This..."

"How could Lady Xie be so ignorant of the seriousness of the matter? She is pregnant with a child. She does it herself, isn't she afraid of hurting the baby?" Concubine Li said with a sigh.

But Concubine Ning chuckled and said, "Then I will go with Your Majesty."

The queen looked at her helplessly and said, "Let's go."

Concubine Ning gave a flattering smile and followed briskly.
