The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

Of course I am worth it.

Xie Yuzhen stood expressionlessly behind the emperor, watching him angrily but playfully ordering Li Zong to arrange travel matters. He felt a little strange in his heart - this thing finally lost patience with his love games?

Or was he provoked by the assassination and wanted to do something new?

Over the past decade, the emperor was very happy to delegate power and was extremely partial to Lu Weiyuan, acting like a good father. Sometimes, Xie Yu really felt that he seemed to be sicker, and was completely different from the beginning when he appeared to be dissolute and leisurely on the surface, but actually held the power tightly in his hands.

Instead, it seems like... a very strange attitude of accepting one's fate.

But no matter what the emperor was thinking, Xie Yuzhen didn't care. She was no longer the little woman who was worried day and night when she first entered the palace and tried every means to cling to the emperor before she could sleep peacefully.

Long ago... there was no need to lick the crumbs of power that slipped through the emperor's fingers, but rather she truly held a power that even the emperor had to treat with caution.

After seeing the emperor off, Xie Yuzhen asked the female officials who had practiced the best martial arts at Xia Zhi to put down their current tasks and prepare to travel with him.

Although Xie Zhen also practiced the first half of the technique, strengthening her body, she could control her physique and decide whether to have children by her own will, just like other women who had practiced the technique. However, the damage done to her soul by the time cracks was too deep. Moreover, as she gradually cleaned up the traces left by the Lord God in the world, Xie Zhen also felt that she might not be able to exist in her current form for too long...

Therefore, no matter whether the emperor became even crazier, or finally woke up from his false love and realized that her existence was a threat to him and wanted to do something, Xie Yuzhen would send away this man who had slept in the same bed with her and been with her for more than ten years before leaving, so as to remove the biggest obstacle for her daughter.

"Your Majesty, Shou'an Palace has come down." The voice of a palace servant interrupted Xie Yuzhen's thoughts.

She put away her slightly heavy expression and said, "Why is she here? Please come in."

When the emperor and empress went on a tour, the royal heir accompanied them.

Except for the brothers Prince Yi Yang and Prince Gong, who had always been in poor health, and Lu Weiyuan who was sent to deal with the Hongyang Sect, the rest of the royal heirs followed.

This was a favor from the Emperor and Empress, and it also once again sent a message to everyone: Although these royal heirs had the honor of accompanying the emperor, it also meant that they would have no chance of ascending the throne.

"Baohui pays respects to the Queen Mother." Princess Shouan did not encounter an assassination attempt, but that was because she was weak and had to rest for a long time, so she barely escaped. Later, when investigating, she found that there were also improper palace servants in the place originally prepared for her to live.

Whenever Xie Yuzhen looked at her, he couldn't help but think of Liu Luohua, who would rather take the crime of assassinating the emperor and exterminate her entire clan than tear that family of blood-sucking worms apart from her only daughter. This woman was really confused when she was confused, but she was also really decisive when she was decisive.

However, the daughter she left behind had a completely different temperament from her biological mother. She was gentle and caring, and had a different kind of sweetness from the noisy and talkative Lu Weiyuan.

"Why are you here at this time, Baohui? Have you had a good rest?"

Princess Shou'an said, "Thank you for your concern, my mother. Baohui is fine. She just got bored sitting in the room for so long, so... I wanted to see if I could help you a little."

"You came at the right time. Your father and I heard earlier that something seemed to have happened in Governor Zhu's family, and they were in a panic." Xie Yuzhen thought for a moment, looked at her and smiled warmly, "Your father said he wanted to go to the Governor's mansion to see what was going on. If Baohui has rested well, would you like to go with your father and mother?"

Princess Fengning's eyes lit up: "Daughter...is it okay?"

"Of course you can. Don't be afraid. Yangzhou's scenery is different from the capital and is well worth seeing. It's a rare trip out, so you should enjoy it."

"But...but with my daughter's body...I'm really afraid of disturbing the mood of father and mother..." She lowered her eyes, looking a little uneasy and very vulnerable.

Xie Yuzhen's voice was full of love and compassion: "You are my daughter. In this world, there is no such thing as a parent who only cares about their own fun and blames the child for disturbing them. My dear girl, raise your head and don't be afraid. If you are really uneasy, then hold your mother's hand."

Princess Shou'an's cheeks turned red, and she felt a little embarrassed: "My daughter is holding my mother's hand, I'm afraid my father will be angry."

"Why bother with him? He has rough hands and feet. I even think he's uncomfortable with my hands. If you are willing, your mother can hold your hand all the time." Xie Yuzhen's disdain for the emperor was clear on her face.

This made Lu Baohui couldn't help but have an illusion that the three of them were the most harmonious, warm and fun family.

So she bent her knees slightly and spoke more playfully: "Then my daughter will have no choice but to take away my father's love. If my father gets angry, my mother will definitely help my daughter."

"Okay, okay, how could I not help my good daughter?" Xie Yuzhen's eyes were full of smiles. She couldn't help but think of Lu Weiyuan who was thousands of miles away. Although she knew very well that with Lu Weiyuan's ability, no one or anything in this world could make her suffer, she was still worried about her and hoped that she could deal with the Hongyang Sect as soon as possible so that mother and daughter could be reunited.

Lu Weiyuan, who was in the cave beneath the water city of Tongzhou, rubbed his nose and said, "My beloved mother must be missing me again."

Hu Ziyi: ...

Mi Nian:......

The cave is dark and the path is winding.

The female yamen runner who was walking in front was trembling as she led the way. She was caught off guard by Lu Weiyuan's words and was so frightened that she staggered and fell forward.

A sound of water was heard, and Lu Weiyuan realized something was wrong. He went forward to take a look, only to see that the path had come to a corner, and next to it was a well-hidden small pool of water, which looked like a waterway.

She stared at the rippling water and shook her head. "Ah, Xinsui, how can people in this world be so stubborn? I've given her a chance to change, but why is she still seeking death?"

"Maybe it's because she's too scared. She's afraid that you'll kill her, but she also thinks that by returning to a place she's familiar with, she can have a chance to survive." Hu Ziyi replied calmly.

Lu Weiyuan continued to shake his head: "Stupid, stupid, it seems that I still have to show more strength in the future, so that those people can't have such delusions, and it will be easier."

As she spoke, she squatted down beside the small pond.

The waves on the surface of the pool did not stop with time, but rolled more and more violently, as if some huge creature was constantly stirring under the water.

Lu Weiyuan stretched out his hand towards the most violent part of the ground, and gently grabbed the female yamen runner who was dizzy from the inexplicably violent water flow. He kindly held her upside down to drain the water from her throat: "Why are you running away? Did I say I would kill you? I didn't say that, right? If I didn't say that, it means I won't kill you, at least not now. You ran away without permission, which is really a disregard for your own life. I can't help but re-evaluate whether you should keep this life."
