The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

When Princess Fengning received the decree from Empress Xie, she was entertaining guests in her mansion.

Guests from Yongjia Marquis Mansion.

Should we say that the methods of the Marquis' Mansion are too efficient, or should we say that the Third Prince Consort is really a spineless man with no courage?

It didn't take Xie Yi much effort to tell everything he knew, but as expected, the Third Prince Consort knew nothing about the Hongyang Sect. Until he was put in a sack, he thought that someone was jealous of his relationship with the actress and was deliberately making trouble for him.

But when Xie Yi appeared in front of him, the Third Prince Consort looked as if the sky had fallen - it was not because he was jealous, but because he was caught cheating by his brother-in-law!

This is much worse than simply fighting over a woman.

You know, although his wife was not very favored by the emperor, she was still a princess!

He originally thought of executing the decision first and asking for permission later, and wait until the mistress became pregnant, then he would go and convince his wife who had not conceived for many years and whose temperament was much calmer than her sisters, to accept his decision to take a concubine...After living together for a few years, the Third Prince Consort knew very well that his wife was a kind-hearted person who hated trouble, and it would not be difficult to convince her.

Moreover, there was not much affection between them. Compared with her husband, Princess Fengning was more genuinely interested in the various books in her home...

In short, the third prince consort thought that the matter of taking a concubine was completely negotiable.

And there is a great probability that Princess Fengning will let him go lightly, and as long as the princess herself is willing, the terrifying father-in-law sitting high in the hall will not interfere.

The Third Prince Consort, who had been calculating everything, was completely devastated when he found out that it was his brother-in-law Xie Yi who had put him in a sack.

Although he was only the second son in the family, he was not the kind of spoiled dandy. After going through the panic of being discovered by his brother-in-law for cheating on his wife, he thought about what the title of "Marquis of Yongjia" really meant to Xie Yi, the third prince consort, and he uncontrollably fell into a deeper fear.

Compared to her mother's home, the Yongjia Marquisate was more like Empress Xie's private court.

Compared with his son, Marquis Yongjia was more like a minion of his biological mother, Empress Xie.

The third prince consort began to recall whether he or his family had done anything recently that might have offended the Xie Party. Although the Kangnan Marquis' Mansion was a marquisate, it had long been far away from the power center of the capital, and the next generation's title would be downgraded. The eldest son of the Kangnan Marquis had already married, and in order to try to see if he could keep the title, the Kangnan Marquis pushed his second son out, thinking of catching as many fish as possible first. However, he did not expect that his son, who had only a good appearance, would actually be chosen by the princess.

As soon as the decree of marriage was issued, the entire Kangnan Marquisate was beaming with joy. If they had please the princess, their title might be extended for another generation. Even if their title was downgraded, the princess's offspring would definitely have a title. Then the cousins ​​would help each other and create greater glory. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Marquis Kangnan, who was also calculating, never imagined that his son, who seemed to be well-behaved and had no outstanding shortcomings except that his talents were a little mediocre, would have the courage to secretly buy a house outside the princess's home.

The key point is that it is fine to have a mistress, but why do you have to raise a mistress and raise it on the heads of the evil cult?

In the mansion of Marquis Kangnan, upon receiving the summons, his first reaction was to quickly put on his formal attire and go out to apologize to this unfilial son. His second reaction was to search his own warehouse and send it to the mansion of Marquis Yongjia to see if he could plead for mercy - this unfilial son was dead, so his family really had nothing to do with the cult!

However, before he could even step out of the door, he found that his house was surrounded. Forced to think quickly, Marquis Kangnan did not make a fuss, but decisively and obediently stated that his family was willing to cooperate with the investigation. Then he went back to his study to write a letter of defense. The first sentence was to sever the relationship between the unfilial Third Prince Consort and the mansion.

The Third Prince Consort was still wondering how he or his family had offended Xie Dang, and was completely unaware of his own father's cruelty.

Only after she found that the interrogator was insisting on the identity and origin of her concubine did she realize something was amiss. She boldly asked for thanks, but the actor had done something to offend the Queen.

After the two were arrested, they were imprisoned separately. The third prince consort rolled his eyes and tried his best to break up the relationship between himself and the actress. He said that she seduced him and that he should have known that there would be no good people in that place...

The main purpose is to emphasize how innocent and pitiful he is, and how he was deceived by a woman with ulterior motives.

As for the actor's origins...he didn't know.

The purpose of the actor approaching him...The Third Prince Consort thought that the actor was attracted by his handsome appearance and noble status.

There were also the people the actor usually interacted with... After the Third Prince Consort frowned and pondered for a long time, he gave up the names of several of his cronies who had competed with him for the actor.

After interrogating the Third Prince Consort several times, Xie Yi discovered that this man really knew nothing. Or rather, the actor had not had the chance to reveal his true purpose and drag the Third Prince Consort into the water before he was hit hard by Xie Yi and his sister.

The only valuable part of the confession of the Third Prince Consort is the list of people who had contact with the actors. Who knows, there might be people among them who secretly support the activities of the cultists.

With the confession in hand, Xie Yi hurried to arrest the man again.

The Third Prince Consort, who was almost collapsed from the interrogation, was left staring at the tall and straight back of the young man with empty eyes, and couldn't help shedding two lines of tears.

How come this living King of Hell makes outsiders think he is some kind of banished immortal who is untouched by the mundane world?

The third prince consort, who cried silently and felt that his future was dark, finally got another chance to see the sun.

After his cronies were quickly controlled, Xie Yi took the third prince consort to Princess Fengning's mansion.

After hearing the whole story, Princess Fengning smiled good-naturedly and said, "So that's how it is. It's because I didn't discipline him properly and caused trouble for the young marquis."

"Your Highness, you are too kind. This is just a coincidence... Since the Third Prince Consort has already found out that he does not know the man's identity, he will be handed over to Your Highness for disposal first." Xie Yi and Princess Fengning also had some face for each other.

Princess Fengning frowned when she heard this: "I'm afraid it's not convenient for me to do this. I need to dry the books. Young Marquis, why don't you take him back and lock him up for a few days, and then wait until the results come out... Well, I'd better write a letter of divorce and let his father take care of him."

It’s so troublesome. I don’t want to deal with it.

Reading this very familiar sentence from his wife's attitude, the Third Prince Consort struggled: "Your Highness, save me! I won't dare to do it again! Your Highness, save me!!!"
