The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

Xie Ruzhen and Lu Weiyuan, a mother and daughter, one settled in a small water town, and was about to go deep into the tiger's den to explore; the other was far away in the northern border, and had already realized that this state and this city seemed to be a dragon's den lurking with dangers.

"After letting so many assassins in, Governor Zhu just said they were not well guarded and wanted to send them away?" Xie Yuzhen looked at the emperor with a bit of amusement in his eyes, "Your Majesty, your good minister has his head held too high. He doesn't see the army of guards that came with the emperor, and he also despises Eunuch Li Zong, your most useful internal minister?"

The expression on her face was full of curiosity.

Logically speaking, those who can serve as the governor of the northern border must be important officials whom the emperor is willing to trust, and they should be at the opposite extreme from those who are kept in the imperial capital for his entertainment.

But in fact, Xie Yuzhen's mind was clear - just when they were dealing with the assassin who suddenly appeared, Zaoming had already issued a warning, saying that a signal from another world was detected, and the location was in the city of Yangzhou, and the place... happened to be the residence of the governor Zhu.

At this moment, I'm afraid that Governor Zhu's heart has been replaced by a different person.

But the emperor didn't know about this, and his face turned a little unhappy. The governor of Yangzhou was named Zhu, and he was indeed one of the people he trusted the most. He also kept in touch with the emperor. Before entering Yangzhou, his movements and attitudes were normal. How could he suddenly...

He frowned, thinking of a possibility, and fell on Xie Yuzhen, holding his chest: "As an emperor, can I only watch my relatives and friends, one by one, change their past friendship and abandon me, leaving me alone to guard the country for thousands of miles, lonely for a hundred years..."

"Your Majesty, please speak properly." Xie Yuzhen twisted the emperor's ear and pulled him up.

The emperor pretended to sob twice and looked at Li Zong: "What's wrong with him? He doesn't listen to me. Does he really want me to celebrate the New Year in advance and have a pig-killing dinner?"

"This..." Li Zong wiped the sweat from his head. He was not young anymore. Although he had accumulated a lot of experience, he still felt a lot of pressure when facing the abnormal words and actions of the emperor and empress. "Your Majesty, when I went to ask Governor Zhu, it seemed that something happened in his family. Perhaps because of the entanglement of family affairs, he was exhausted and had no time to take care of other things..."

"Ha!" The emperor sneered, "What kind of incident has caused him to lose control of state affairs? It's obvious. Why don't we go to his house and see what kind of incident has happened to turn my beloved minister and general into such a madman, putting his life in danger!"

When Xie Yuzhen heard the emperor's sarcastic tone, he knew that he was really angry. He was even angrier than when he knew that a certain heir was going to assassinate the emperor and his father.

Right.

No matter how noisy the crown prince was, as his father, he knew more or less what was going on. But it was different for Governor Zhu. He was a man he personally selected and trusted, but such a danger had occurred in the area under his management. Afterwards, the emperor did not punish him directly based on his trust in him, but instead sent the eunuch he valued most to inquire about the matter, which was already giving Governor Zhu enough face.

However, Governor Zhu behaved very arrogantly. He did not sincerely admit his mistake and make amends. Instead, he stayed at home to deal with household affairs... It was not as if he was poisoned and stabbed by his son and was seriously injured and unable to get out of bed. What family affairs were more important than the safety of the emperor?

"Your Majesty, please be cautious. If Governor Zhu really has ulterior motives, I'm afraid his mansion is not safe either." Xie Yuzhen gave the advice without any sincerity.

At this moment, the dream in her mind suddenly issued a warning: [Master, Master! I just detected two signals from another world coming quickly towards Yangzhou.]

【Oh?】 Xie Weizhen thought, 【Won’t it be lively now?】

Since the search scope of Dream Maker was expanded to the entire Dasheng, many soul signals from other worlds have been discovered one after another. In the past ten years, Lin Qiao has taken Ai Suqiu and others to patrol Jiuzhou. On the one hand, it was to investigate illegal activities in various places, and on the other hand, it was to send these people possessed by other world souls back to the capital, and then Xie Yuzhen would send them back to their hometown.

Of course, if it is an evil soul from another world, most of them will be killed on the spot and their souls will be destroyed.

When Xie Yuzhen was planning his patrol route, he also deliberately included the place where the signal from the alien soul was last seen. However, he did not expect that before he got there, the two alien souls would actually come towards him.

In addition to the "Zhu Governor" who had just arrived not long ago, after sending them all away at once, the passage to this world will be completely closed, and it will not be opened again until the main gods wandering outside the world are eliminated. Fu Qingsu, who is attached to Ai Suqiu, has long expressed that she will accompany Ai Suqiu for the rest of her life, and she is not in a hurry to go home.

"Just bring more guards, and with you by my side, what do I have to be afraid of?" The emperor said with a smile, "I have the confidence to visit his house in person, but does he have the confidence to rebel directly?"

Xie Yuzhen turned his attention back: "... As long as you are happy, it's good. However, Governor Zhu is a frontier official after all. No matter how you deal with him, you have to be cautious. Your Majesty, have you thought about who can take over the affairs of Yangzhou if Governor Zhu is dismissed?"

"How about transferring Guanying back?" The emperor asked with a smile, "She has been traveling around for so many years, and she has enough experience. Let her stay in Yangzhou for a while before calling her back to the capital. If nothing goes wrong, she can take over the position of Minister of Personnel. The old man has already begged for his life twice, but I thought he could hold on for another year or so, so I didn't approve it."

"Your Majesty, are you sincere?" Xie Yuzhen asked deliberately.

The emperor smiled and replied, "When have I ever been anything but sincere to you?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It's just that I always have a feeling of loss and gain. I'm afraid that I can't hold on to Your Majesty. I'm also afraid that if I hold on too tightly, Your Majesty will misunderstand and feel disgusted... If I really lose my love because of that, I really don't know how I can live..." She lowered her head to wipe the corners of her eyes, and leaned lightly on the emperor's chest.

The emperor also bent down and kissed the top of her head tenderly: "I love you, how could I doubt you or hate you... This is fate destined by heaven, it is heaven that tells me to love you."

"My Lord, you can do whatever you want, whatever you want, whatever you want..."

"...You're worth it."
