The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

Compared to those people who had already taken corresponding precautions, Xie Yuzhen was now more concerned about the "thing" that fell on the emperor.

But that thing hasn't shown up yet, so it can only be left idle for the time being.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing - the uncle and nephew of the Yan family have been detained in prison, but the bodies of the mother and daughter of the Gu family are still in the governor's mansion. Although their natal family has sent people to capture them, but..." Xia Zhi said hesitantly, "From what Yan Erlang said, the brothers of the Gu family are probably not good people. Who knows what crimes they are involved in. Even if there are none, I don't think we should return the bodies of the mother and daughter to them."

"They said they loved their only daughter so much that they tried every possible means to find a good husband for her, but look at what they did."

Xia Zhi's family is just a commoner in a village outside the capital. He has been following Xie Yuzhen's side as her assistant over the years, and his abilities are impeccable. However, he can't change his old habit of nagging, especially when there is no serious business to do, his desire to express himself becomes stronger.

And Xie Yuzhen didn't think there was anything wrong with her housekeeper. On the contrary, she enjoyed Xia Zhi's lively and talkative appearance and was happy to listen to him.

"In my hometown village, there are also families with several older brothers who finally got a younger sister. Their daughters are also loved at home, but they never expect their daughters to marry out of their parents' family. Instead, they carefully choose families they know well and are not far from their parents' family to marry into."

Xia Zhi had combed her hair up early and vowed to never marry. Her lips moved quickly, "Look at the Gu family. They wanted to find a good husband for their daughter, but they chose a rotten man who already had a wife. They didn't ask for a betrothal gift or a name, and just sent their daughter to be a concubine... Even if our daughter has been raised with a twisted personality and must be with that man, the family can't stop her, but the family who truly loves her will definitely fight for everything they can for her."

"It's obvious that they took their daughter away to exchange for benefits, and they also put the bad reputation of greed on her head, so as to show how great they are."

"That man is not a good guy either. He already has a wife at home, but he still has the ulterior motive to harm an innocent girl. He even pretends that he was forced to do so because others threatened him and forced him to be the lover of the girl and even gave birth to a daughter. It's really disgusting!"

"There is also this family with the surname Yan." Xia Zhi flipped through a booklet that recorded the interrogation of the Yan uncle and nephew. "Before the eldest Gu married in, although she had a reputation for not pursuing fame and fortune and passed on the family tradition of farming and studying, her family's life was just average. Those shops with the Yan family's surname were all run by the Gu mother and daughter."

Her eyebrows were squeezed together more and more tightly. "Yan Erlang said that Miss Gu deliberately ruined his reputation outside - but wasn't that something he did himself? How can he do it without others saying anything?"

"Okay, okay, my Lady Xia Zhi, why are you getting more and more angry the more you talk?" Xie Yuzhen took the booklet from Xia Zhi's hand and motioned for her to stop talking for a while.

Xia Zhi sighed: "I lost my composure. The more I think about it, the angrier I get. Your Majesty..."

Xie Yuzhen raised his hand and gently tapped Xia Zhi's forehead with a finger: "Don't worry, these families are not good people. After the Gu family and Xiao Gu's biological father are arrested, I will ask someone to find a good place for them to rest in peace."

After saying this, she thought for a moment, and then said to Xia Zhi, "Recently, things have indeed become a bit too much, and you have hardly had any free time around me. Do you feel too tired?"

"How could that be?!" Xia Zhi was surprised. "I am in good spirits. Even if Your Majesty asks me to go out and run a few laps right now, I will do it."

Xie Yuzhen smiled: "It's not that serious... Maybe I feel a little tired."

Hearing this, Xia Zhi immediately said worriedly: "My Lady..."

Xie Yuzhen interrupted her immediately and shook her head: "It's not a big deal, don't worry, it's just because His Majesty got sick suddenly that I'm a little anxious, you go down and have a rest first, I'll go in to visit His Majesty."

With a little worry, Xia Zhi obediently retreated.

Xie Yuzhen turned around and walked towards the inner hall, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

Although Xia Zhi likes to nag, although she talks a lot, she never gets as out of control as she did today.

But she couldn't even notice that there was something wrong with her emotions.

He waved away the palace maids who were serving him.

Xie Yuzhen sighed softly: "Compared to me, the most trusted female official of the inner court of the Queen, she is more like... the number one thug of the vicious queen in the storybook..."

【Owner......】

In his mind, Zaomeng felt uneasy, but he couldn't understand why Xie Yuzhen suddenly expressed such emotion, so he could only ask cautiously: [Did you find anything? ]

[It’s just a plot.] Xie Wei replied lazily, [Old friend, no surprise, no surprise.]

【Ah?!】Zaomeng suddenly realized, 【You mean, the thing in the emperor's body... is the plot?!】

[But this thing is useless. Why did the Lord God send this thing as the last blow? ]

The little ball of light began to scratch the top of itself with its claws.

[Anyway, the world's external channels have been completely blocked. No matter what He wants to do, He is trapped. If the "plot" this time cannot be easily reversed like before, we can directly destroy the body He is parasitic on, and thus annihilate it together.]

Xie Yuzhen instinctively felt that the energy in the emperor's body was not just a "plot", but as she said to Dream Zaomeng, although the Lord God was powerful and weird, the methods and means He used to manipulate humans were only the same few. As long as you were aware of it in advance, it would not be difficult to deal with it.

She walked slowly into the inner room.

The emperor was lying quietly on the bed. His eyes, which were originally tightly closed, opened instantly after he heard Xie Yuzhen's footsteps. He showed a bit of grievance: "After taking the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctors, my headache is gone, but I am starting to feel a little dizzy..."

Xie Yuzhen walked over and sat down on the outside of the bed: "It's just for pain relief, it's a normal effect of the medicine."

"I feel like my brain is going to stop working... Xianming, I always couldn't figure out your thoughts before, and now I'm afraid I can't catch up even more." He raised his finger and pointed at his head, "It seems like there is something pulling me in here, making me, keep... falling down."

Then, he turned his palm and held Xie Yuzhen's hand: "I don't know what you think, but I will always believe in you..."

"Well, thank you very much for your majesty's trust." Xie Yuzhen shook hands gently - anyway, the emperor now had no better way to go except to trust himself.
