The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

In response to Lu Baohui's evasive answer, Princess Cheng'an said with a hint of sarcasm and anger, "I just don't want everything I have to be destroyed by your madness. If the development of things next is not what I want, then I will never show mercy. You don't have to tease and deceive me with false words of love. It makes me feel very disgusted."

"Although my affection for my elder sister is only for my second brother and for... the virtuous concubine, how can it not be said to be a kind of deep affection?"

Lu Baohui took a step back and bowed slightly to Princess Cheng'an with gentle and graceful movements: "If my mother had left me with such a big burden after her death, to be honest, I would not have planned for him as carefully as you do. He is useless and always hinders others. It's annoying to see him."

"You..." Princess Cheng'an couldn't help but raise her hand and point at her sister.

Lu Baohui, however, continued to speak provocatively without fear: "Not to mention, the second prince is from a different mother!"

"You said you didn't want to follow Aunt Rong Le's wish and let me know the truth about my mother's death, so as to cause trouble with my second brother and muddy the waters. But now you have repeatedly provoked my anger. Lu Baohui, what do you want?"

"Relax, relax, big sister." Lu Baohui smiled, "I just want to try what I can do in this storm. Just treat me as a mouse digging holes out of boredom. There is no need to speculate on my purpose and motives. That way - there is no point."

"correct."

Before Lu Baohui left, she specifically reminded Princess Cheng'an: "The city will soon be in chaos, but don't be afraid, big sister. As long as you stay with father and mother, everyone will be safe."

"My sister also needs my sister to stay with our father, the emperor and the queen, just in case."

"What if?"

"Some people are willing to risk everything, just for the chance of revenge."

"Is this all you need me to do?" Lu Yanzhen found that he could no longer understand his sister. "The guards around our father and mother are so strict. How could someone with ulterior motives get in?"

"Normally, it is indeed impossible to get in, but my father is ill, and my mother always likes to lure people into a trap. Even if that person is not capable of sneaking in, she will deliberately leave a dog hole for him to sneak into..." She lowered her eyes and pondered, "The most important thing is that my father is ill."

The tone of her words startled Princess Cheng An, but she quickly reacted, "It is impossible for my father to have a rift with my mother at this critical moment!"

Now almost half of the world has taken Empress Xie's surname "Xie". If the emperor had a clear mind, he should have killed her before she gained power, instead of waiting for her to gain a foothold and then fighting with her.

Although Princess Cheng'an knew that her father was by no means a normal man, on the other hand, he was always wise enough in matters concerning family and country, and he never crossed the line between public and private. Even if he was crazy or insane in private, he would never shake the foundation of the country just to appease himself temporarily.

In today's Dasheng, the two emperors have been in power for more than ten years. Not only the female officials and generals promoted by Empress Xie, but also the clean officials who benefited from the imperial examination reform have long become part of her power.

She is a truly unshakable queen who can rival the emperor in power.

Princess Cheng'an realized this early on, which is why she completely gave up the idea of ​​fighting for the throne for the second prince in the more than ten years after her marriage, and instead tried to support him to become a prince with real power. Unfortunately, the latter was really disappointing. She, her assistant, had been in and out of the Ministry of Revenue seven times, while he was still paralyzed in the Honglu Temple like a coward.

"Father is ill, big sister." Lu Baohui's voice was calm and a little cold. "I don't know where his illness came from. I'm just afraid that it will become an anomaly in mother's plan, so I need to seek cooperation with big sister."

"Then you can go by yourself." Princess Cheng'an emphasized coldly.

"My sister has more important things to do and can't get away."

Princess Cheng'an's forehead was throbbing with veins at the light answer: "Ha! In the past, your mother died because of the assassination of the emperor, and the entire Shunyi Marquis's family was buried with her. When she assassinated your father, your mother was watching... Dear sister, how much do you think your mother contributed to this?"

"This is a true revenge for the murder of my mother. My elder sister has endured it for the sake of our past love and kindness. Why can't my younger sister let it go?" Lu Baohui was not provoked by her elder sister. "Of course I know how my mother died... It was her own choice. Before she died, she asked my father for an order to sever ties with her. From then on, Lu Baohui lost her mother."

"We both lost our mothers when we were very young, but the loneliness and confusion I experienced are things that my sister has never experienced. Before today, the virtuous concubine was a kind of existence to my sister, and the queen mother is a kind of existence to my younger sister."

"I lived alone in Chonghua Palace. It was because of her constant concern that the palace servants prevented me, an invisible person who had lost my mother and fallen out of favor with my father, from being neglected and bullied by others."

"When I was young, I always competed with my fifth sister for the first place in everything. My mother never showed any favoritism towards my fifth sister. Instead, every time I encountered setbacks, she comforted me..."

"She never deliberately ignored or spoiled me because of the rift between her and my biological mother. I grew up to be who I am today, standing upright, instead of being twisted and dying in the disregard and indifference of my elders."

"After leaving the palace, I have always missed the days when I was sick as a child and could snuggle in my mother's arms... Although that was not the real closeness between mother and daughter, and I am even very clear that those times may have been just my own wishful thinking... But those times did bring me rare comfort in my lonely life."

"I can live without my father, but I can't imagine how painful it would be to lose my mother again!"

The crazy look on her face made Princess Cheng An step back in fear, and she couldn't help asking the question again: "What do you want to do?"

"Do what a good daughter should do to make her mother proud." Lu Baohui quickly put away her expression and returned to her usual gentle, quiet and well-behaved appearance.

She adjusted her cuffs and fiddled with the tassels hanging from her sleeves. "Oh, by the way, I have a sachet here. Wear it on your body. It can not only repel mosquitoes, but also clear your eyes and mind, and refresh your mind."

"Please wear it close to your body. It is not only a token of our alliance, but also a token of my true love."
