The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

"Look back?"

Xie Yi, who was urgently found, looked at the corpse with eyes open on the ground and sighed helplessly.

Although the dead man's face was in a dishevelled state, one could still see some of the beauty he had when he was alive. His head was completely twisted away, and the expression on his face was still frozen in the astonishment of the moment before his death. It seemed that he had not reacted to why he had died.

Looking down along his bloody chin, there was a flat back with wrinkled clothes and no movement.

Xie Yi sneaked in from a small passage in Heyi Building - although this place was the property of Princess Rong Le, out of a strange desire for control, the emperor asked spies to secretly investigate every restaurant or teahouse in the capital to find out their structure. He himself might not be able to remember so many structural drawings, but he was the emperor and he had people who were willing to sacrifice their memory for him.

But gratitude is different.

He can remember it.

Looking at his innocent-looking sister, he said, "You can ask him to 'turn back' in other ways. He died here, and he is still under the control of my aunt... What did he do to make you so angry?"

Lu Weiyuan said without thinking: "He scolded mother."

Xie Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "That's damn right. So, you and Miss Hu go back first, and I'll take care of the rest."

He is not only good at memory, but also good at burying corpses.

Lu Weiyuan was very clear about this: "Brother, when you go to talk to Aunt Rong Le about this, maybe you don't need to be too serious. I don't think she knows the details of this man. She just wants to send a beauty. Oh, this guy also has a junior sister from the same school."

"But his junior sister was quite clever. When I was talking to him, she secretly listened to a few words and then left."

"Your Highness, why don't you order me to stop her?" Although Hu Ziyi and Lu Weiyuan grew up together, most of the time, she would deliberately not ask what the other was thinking, because she always felt that Lu Weiyuan's mind might contain something that would drown her, which was very dangerous. Out of some kind of beast-like intuition to avoid danger and seek good fortune, Hu Ziyi always spoke to Lu Weiyuan, and then she would refine her words according to her experience before executing them.

When encountering behavior that she really couldn't understand, Hu Ziyi always asked directly, and Lu Weiyuan would always give her an answer that might be a little cumbersome but clear enough: "They are just little spies, just like two leaves of creepers outside the wall. If the host is kind, they will allow them to grow into the inner courtyard. If the host is not in the mood to entertain them, they will be cut off. But even if these two leaves are cut off, they will not harm the main branch. It is better to leave them and see where their stems are connected to."

Cast-line fishing.

Understood.

After getting the answer, Hu Ziyi emptied his mind again.

Xie Yi waited patiently for the two of them to finish their words before speaking again: "Even if Her Highness the Princess doesn't know the truth, it is her fault for putting someone in front of you so hastily. If you like beauties, I will find a few with clean backgrounds and place them in the Marquis' Mansion first. When your Princess Mansion is completed, if you are still willing, I will pick one and bring it in."

Lu Weiyuan also raised his eyebrows slightly. This action made the two half-sisters suddenly become more similar: "Brother, with you in the Marquis' Mansion, who else can be worth paying attention to?"

"Then I'll leave?" Xie Yi joked.

"One hundred beauties can't buy a brother. I'm just curious this time." Lu Weiyuan didn't even look at the body that was strangled by his own hands at his feet. He stepped over and grabbed Xie Yi's sleeve and started to act coquettishly, "Aunt Rong Le is not satisfied with the current situation. If my way doesn't work, she will try to take another way. Good brother, we don't need to tear our faces with her, but there is no need to give her a piece of the soup just to appease her."

Xie Yi let his sister grab the pattern on his sleeve to study it. His eyes turned cold for a moment when he passed by the corpse on the ground, but when he fell on his sister, he suddenly became gentle: "If she realizes that this road is not feasible, then-"

"It depends on who she meets after today." The brother and sister said in unison.

Lu Weiyuan narrowed his cat-like eyes and said, "Brother, I am not afraid of competing with others, because no matter what, I will be the final winner. It is better to say that things that can be smoothly fed into the mouth by parents will never taste as sweet as those that you have to fight for with others."

She licked her lips and said, "Of course, seeing them fighting so hard even though they knew they couldn't win against me is really very pleasing and joyful."

Thank you for understanding my sister.

They have understood each other since they were young.

The brother and sister, both of whom were as beautiful as fairies, stood beside a corpse whose death was in a miserable state. The scene was strange yet gorgeous. The stiff expression on the corpse's face and the brother and sister's sweet smiles, one of whom was otherworldly and the other was charming, seemed to form the strangest triangle. The humming lyrics of an opera came from a very distant place.

Hu Ziyi was the only one facing such a strange scene and the only relatively normal person present, but he did not feel scared or have any other emotions.

She was clearing her mind.

There is no need to force yourself to understand things you don’t understand, they are friends after all.

After the brother and sister chatted for a while, Xie Yi began to urge his sister to go back to Yongjia Marquis Mansion first: "...The mansion has made a lot of new clothes for you. When you go back, take a bath first and change these clothes. If they are stained with the smell of a dead person, there is no need to wash them, just burn them directly."

Xie Yi murmured gently, "Not long ago, my grandmother hired a cook from the southeast. She is very good at making soup. Before I left, I asked her to stew a few bowls of her specialty. After you take a bath, you can taste it to see if it suits your taste. It's best to drink a cup of ginger tea to remove the coldness."

"Also, I had some grapefruit trees planted in the garden. You don't like the smell of burning grapefruit leaves, so I had someone make some moisturizing ointment using grapefruit leaves. Apply some on your hands."

"Also, after you take a bath, drink the soup and apply the ointment, don't worry about anything else. Have a good sleep first. If you have anything else, go find Xiang Xi. Grandmother is probably playing mahjong at this time. It won't be too late to pay your respects to her after you have rested..."

"besides......"

He fully understood what it meant to be an eldest brother and express gratitude to his father, and he babbled just as much as his naturally talkative sister.

Lu Weiyuan listened obediently, nodded obediently, and then took his friends away from the crime scene without any worries.

Xie Yi, who was left behind, put away the smile on his face, raised his foot, and kindly stepped on the dead body's head on the ground to move it back to the correct direction.
