The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

The person from the Hongyang Sect who came to persuade them grasped Princess Rong Le's thoughts and successfully used her to help them erase all traces of their actions in the capital.

Even if it was just a few words, it was enough to instigate the ambition that had existed for a long time.

Princess Rong Le was very clear that the road she was about to take was most likely a dead end. While she was filled with excitement, she could not help but feel fear. She even blamed Qin Ruying for wanting to contact the Hongyang Sect, but she knew deep down that the current situation was caused by herself, and she was indeed willing to accept it.

But the noble lady of the royal family would never complain about herself. She called Qin Ruying over to vent her overly excited emotions, but she never thought that she would be angered by him even more: "Asshole!"

"Ha." Qin Ruying laughed suddenly and shook his head. "All of these were learned from you, Your Highness, bit by bit. You are the bastard."

Princess Rong Le's eyes widened slightly. She looked at Qin Ruying and did not say anything for a long time. Only when the tea on the table had unknowingly grown cold did she find her voice again.

As usual, she was calm and dignified, decent and generous, with a smile that was not offensive: "Although the prince consort does not care about the life or death of his sister, I am the sister-in-law of that poor child after all. He just passed away. As his brother and sister-in-law, we must express our condolences no matter what. I am afraid it is not appropriate to follow His Majesty and His Majesty on a long journey."

She held a round fan with golden and red peony patterns on it and nodded twice at Qin Ruying. "The Su family is not too far from the capital, but it is still in the state. Prince Consort, you should pack your things first. When the imperial carriage leaves, we will go home to attend the funeral."

Qin Ruying said nothing, but just bowed quietly.

After so many years, her biological brother and parents have all slowly turned into bitches in her eyes.

She admitted that her views might be a little extreme, but she still stubbornly believed that the life and death of the bitches had little to do with her. If Princess Rong Le wanted to use the lives of a few bitches as a raft, then let her use it.

only......

When will I be able to see this prince die?

Qin Ruying waited quietly.

"Your Majesty, Princess Rong Le's mansion sent a memorial saying that the prince consort's younger sister has just passed away, and the prince consort has fallen ill due to grief, and requests that the couple stay in Beijing." Chen Peiluan had the seal of Duke Shenguo's mansion hanging around her waist. As usual, she was helping to sort out government memorials in the Lizheng Hall.

The emperor is not here today again. He said he wanted to spend more time with Empress Dowager Hu before leaving. Empress Xie is still in charge of the government hall.

Xie Yuzhen glanced at her without any surprise, and nodded: "I see, I saw that you submitted a petition to stay in the capital yesterday, but I didn't have time to read it carefully. It just so happens that it's your turn today, so I want to ask you why you want to stay in the capital?"

Chen Peiluan and Princess Rong Le had some friendship in the past. Although the former deliberately reduced the frequency of contact with the latter after entering the court, some things that could be called friendships could not be severed.

"My husband..." Chen Peiluan sighed, "Alas, he has become less active as he gets older. He spends all day lying alone in his room reading books. The day before yesterday, for some reason, he finally got interested in going out for a walk, but he accidentally fell at the second door and broke his leg."

She wanted to ruin Tao Er on purpose.

Both mentally and physically.

And the facts have proved that without her sincere teaching, the man would have been just an ordinary idler even if he inherited the title of Duke. He did not even realize that his wife's indulgence in some bad habits was actually slowly destroying everything about him, including his health.

"I see." Xie Yuzhen nodded. "Duke Shen has been seriously injured. Although I am busy with government affairs, I cannot keep Madam here. Why not give Madam three months? Firstly, she can have a good rest. Secondly, it will be more convenient for her to take care of Duke Shen."

"Your Majesty..." Among all the noble ladies who dared to participate in politics, Chen Peiluan was always the most active and tireless one. She knew that she was not as close as Empress Xie's confidant, nor was she an old minister that the Emperor was accustomed to using, so she paid special attention to everything she did.

And she also believed that her efforts were noticed by Empress Xie, so how could she suddenly...

The letter from Princess Rong Le?

Chen Peiluan's heart trembled.

It was indeed an accident that Tao Er broke his leg, but although her memorial was ostensibly addressed to the entire Shenguo Mansion requesting that they stay in Beijing, it was actually only addressed to Tao Er alone. She had planned to ask Empress Xie for a favor today to let her go on the tour with her, but she didn't expect that before she could even say that, she would lose even the things at hand.

Although Chen Peiluan was shocked and confused, she soon calmed down. She did not show any doubt or objection to Empress Xie's decision to leave her idle, and obediently accepted the arrangement.

As soon as she finished handing over the matters at hand, Chen Peiluan used the excuse of visiting Concubine Hui in the palace and almost trotted all the way to find Concubine Chen Hui.

Concubine Chen Hui was helping Concubine Liu and her son check the things they would take with them when they went on tour.

When he heard that it was Chen Peiluan who came, he apologized to the mother and son. When he was about to leave, he saw the Sixth Prince said, "Mother, I didn't see the young master of the Duke of Shen's Mansion come to class yesterday. Can you help ask my aunt... Madam Duke, I have an appointment with the young master to go fishing together. I will leave the capital with my father and mother soon. If he doesn't come, I'm afraid I will miss it."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Chen Hui glanced at the Sixth Prince, then looked at Concubine Liu who looked clueless behind him, and smiled gently, "Okay, Bao'er, I will ask for you. You are about to leave the capital, have you finished copying the "Calm and Tranquility Sutra" that I asked you to copy earlier?"

The Sixth Prince's face turned bitter: "I understand..."

Concubine Chen Hui nodded, turned and left.

Liupin was left behind, pulling her son back: "Oh, you kid, you're leaving soon, and you haven't finished your homework yet, finish it quickly and send it to your mother, Concubine Chen... Well, if you really can't finish it, I'll ask my sister for you to finish it on the way and send it back to her, is that okay?"

The Sixth Prince looked at his mother's expression, which did not seem very worried, and his shoulders slumped slightly. He nodded listlessly.
