The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem
Chapter 557 "Demon"
A demon that possesses a human body? !
A layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on the back of "Prosecutor Zhu".
Xie Yuzhen glanced at the emperor and said, "It's really strange. You can find out where they came from. How did they know that they were people who took over other people's bodies? And how did they know that Your Majesty was in the governor's mansion today?"
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied: "That family is from Lingzhou, which is next to our state. They heard that His Majesty and His Majesty were coming here, so they hurried over to seek the protection of the Heavenly Power. They had already been to the palace before and knew that His Majesty and His Majesty were here. As for how they knew that it was a demon that possessed a human body, they did not say."
Finally, the housekeeper added, "This family is quite famous in Lingzhou. Their surname is Yan. The head of the family, Yan Zhuang, is good at writing cursive script. He was an official for a period of time, but later resigned and returned home. Accompanying him was his nephew Yan Erlang, and the two people accused of being demons were... Yan Zhuang's wife, Gu, and Gu's daughter, Xiao Gu, who she brought from her ex-husband."
"Interesting." Xie Yuzhen smiled, took Princess Shou'an's hand and walked two steps towards the emperor. "Your Majesty, I have only heard in those strange stories that ordinary people who were harmed by monsters and ghosts had to seek protection from masters, but I have never seen anyone take the initiative to tie up the monsters that harmed people and bring the monsters to seek protection from others."
"Since Xianming finds it interesting, why not meet with them?" The emperor turned his head to look at Xie Yuzhen and said in a very good-natured manner.
"Alas, they are seeking your Majesty's protection. What does it have to do with me?" Xie Yuzhen was in a good mood today, so she made a small gesture.
Although she had become much more stable after becoming the empress, her nature was still hard to change. Especially when facing the emperor, she always felt that she was giving him a good deal if she didn't do something to make him work harder.
The emperor also accepted Xie Yuzhen's pretense well: "The emperor and the empress have always been one. My dear queen, without you, how can I be complete?"
"Your Majesty, what you said is really..." It's a pity that he could say such corny words.
Xie Wei was really satisfied.
The people around who had never seen the emperor and empress in such a loving manner were all dumbfounded, especially "Inspector Zhu" who was the most incredulous.
In particular, he had concluded in advance that Empress Xie was just a white glove held up by the emperor. He had never thought that the emperor could be so humble as to coax a woman who could be replaced at any time. It really made him dumbfounded.
And being in the position closest to the Emperor and Empress, even though she had witnessed with her own eyes how intimately close her father and mother were with no one else around, Lu Baohui did not let go of the hand that Xie Yuzhen was holding.
Rather, she enjoyed this kind of time.
As a daughter, she is naturally surrounded by the atmosphere of love between her parents.
She likes the sense of security that comes from being a family.
But she also understood that everything was just her vain request that could never be truly satisfied.

Xie Ruizhen didn't have a deep impression of Lingzhou. He only remembered that he was the governor of Lingzhou, as well as the officials in various parts of the state and the intelligence bases he operated. The only difference was that Jun Yuexin's brother once repelled the cross-border robbery of Danzhu King's tent in Yunzhou. Whenever he thought of this, Xie Ruizhen would naturally think of Shun Jieyu and Wu Baolin, who also came on this tour.
However, perhaps due to their foreign identity, the two of them acted very low-key. Apart from being lively when paying their respects to Xie Yuzhen, they spent the rest of the time staying in their own residence - Concubine Chen Hui was the same in this regard.
However, although the three of them all live in seclusion, they tacitly avoid suspicion of each other and do not huddle together for warmth.
After rewarding the young men who performed well on the parade ground, everyone dispersed, leaving only a few high-ranking officials in the state headed by "Zhu the Governor" and their families, who followed the enthusiastic emperor and empress to the front yard, ready to see what interesting things the Yan family of Lingzhou had brought.
Yan Zhuang, the head of the Yan family, was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties. He wore a Confucian scholar's robe, a Confucian scarf on his head, and had a short goatee. He looked very simple and gentle.
And his nephew Yan Erlang looked somewhat similar to his uncle, except that he was younger and had a very indignant look on his face, with restlessness in his eyes. Xie Yuzhen could tell at a glance that this man was probably a hot-tempered person.
His attire was also much more luxurious than Yan Zhuang's, with brocade clothes and a silver crown, the most common attire of a nobleman.
These two men could be described as ordinary, but the two women who came with them were not so ordinary.
The older woman looked to be in her twenties or thirties, and the younger one looked only thirteen or fourteen.
Because of the similarity in their eyes and eyebrows, it is easy for outsiders to tell that they are mother and daughter.
But in Xie Yuzhen's eyes, there was another difference.
There was a vague human shadow looming over the mother and daughter.
They were two young girls who were dressed differently from everyone else, and they didn't look alike.
It turned out to be a "demon" that took over a human body.
Xie Yuzhen could see that the light between the eyebrows of the mother and daughter, which symbolized the existence of the original soul, was gone. It was obvious that the original bodies were already dead, which allowed these two foreign souls to take up residence.
While Xie Yuzhen was looking at the mother and daughter calmly, Gu Jiayin, who had no idea how she and her best friend had traveled to another world and become "mother and daughter", was filled with confusion and panic.
She and her best friend both have the surname Gu. They were classmates in high school and later happened to be admitted to the same university. They became closer and closer. Although they always like to joke and try to be each other's mother, they never thought that one day they would really become biological mother and daughter.
When she first traveled to this world and found herself as a young woman who was about to be married off by her father and brother, and who had already been married once and had a not-so-young daughter, Gu Jiayin was devastated.
Gu Han, who traveled through time and space and became the daughter of a good girl, was no less devastated than Gu Jiayin.
The first thing that broke her heart was that she actually traveled back to ancient times and happened to encounter this young body's first menstruation.
The second is that the original owner of this body was actually the daughter of an illegitimate wife. Although she was raised in her maternal grandparents' home, people who came and went secretly laughed at her because of her identity. This made Gu Han, who was raised by her mother alone and whose father cheated on her to pursue his son, completely unable to accept it.
In the end, she found out that she had to marry into the same family as her original mother. Her mother married her uncle, but she had to marry his nephew!
This is really unbearable!
She cried and made a fuss, even trying to commit suicide, which made the adults give up this ridiculous idea. It was also at that time that the two best friends finally recognized each other and cried bitterly.
