The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

Hearing Xie Yi's gentle words, the smile on Prince Gong's face turned cold: "Tan Nu, are you really so loyal to that man that you even want to learn his habit of playing tricks on the weak?"

He turned to look at his "younger brother" who looked like a young girl, and said, "You have stayed in my house for so many days. Day and night, the Prince Gong's house is filled with the smell of blood. I'm afraid you have almost replaced all the people under my command. I wonder when it will be my turn to deal with a rebel like me?"

"Or do you—must hand me over to that man?"

"Brother Apeng, there's no need to provoke me. You know very well who I am loyal to, and the reason why I am standing here today is not because you were the first to think about it and take action to snatch Yuanjun's things?" Xie Yi smiled and had no extra reaction to the meaning implied by Prince Gong's words.

Prince Gong snorted, "Anyway, I am now a prisoner in your cage, so I have no choice but to let you do whatever you want. No matter in the past or in the future, I have never had any autonomy! I have no control over my life, and I cannot be free from this body!"

"Brother Apeng, there is no need to pretend to be a pitiful soldier. No matter what, I will not let you pass the news to my eldest brother before the situation stabilizes." Xie Yi's smiling face was very pleasing to the eye. It was a pity that the more nonchalant he was, the more anxious and heartbroken Prince Gong, who could only sit in a wheelchair and was confined in the palace, became.

"Of course I know that you, Brother Apeng, are ostensibly teaming up with His Royal Highness Rong Le and the Hong Yang Cult to cause trouble and seize the Imperial Capital. But in reality, you are secretly colluding with Prince Yi Yang and the old leader of the Hong Yang Cult who faked his death, intending to turn against His Royal Highness Rong Le and reap the benefits."

Prince Gong's heart gradually sank.

When Xie Yi first came to him, he deliberately acted impulsive and extreme in order to create the illusion that he was the mastermind behind the scenes and that Prince Yi Yang was also part of his plan - if possible, he could even act as if he was willing to sever his brotherly relationship with Prince Yi Yang for the throne.

Unfortunately, Xie Yi was not someone who could be easily fooled. No matter how Prince Gong tried to change the subject, Xie Yi could easily drag the subject back and force Prince Gong to admit that what he was planning was indeed related to Prince Yi Yang.

But as long as the truth of the matter is not revealed, Prince Gong can interpret the meaning of this connection as he pleases.

however.

The various messages revealed in Xie Yi's words made Prince Gong feel extremely cold and desperate.

With just that simple sentence, the undercurrents in the capital city were clearly analyzed.

This undoubtedly means that no matter whether it is Princess Rong Le or Prince Gong and others, their every move, in Xie Yi's view, are just little bugs circling around each other in a cricket jar.

They were doomed to fail from the start.

There is a hand that has been hovering over the capital city.

"There are unexpected events...Aren't you afraid of the unexpected?"

"All the events that led to irreversible consequences were due to insufficient preparation. Brother Apeng, guess how many backup plans we have made in and outside the capital?" Xie Yiwei gently pulled the collar of Prince Gong's fur coat. Her movements were gentle and skillful, as if she was a maid who really knew how to serve her master.

Prince Gong was furious: "Tan Nu is indeed a capable man. It would be great if you were my brother - that way, you would also understand how painful it is for me to be abandoned by my own family... The pain is incurable!"

He stared into the eyes of the young man in women's clothing in front of him: "Are you really not unwilling at all? You are the eldest son of the queen!"

"Brother Apeng, are you still feeling resentful for your elder brother?" Xie Yi's smile remained unchanged, his eyes dark and deep. "Brother, born from the same mother, is obviously the eldest son of our father, but he was thrown out of the palace like the useless second brother, and excluded from the position of crown prince."

"You!" Prince Gong slapped the armrest of the wheelchair, as if he was extremely angry, but he suddenly inhaled the cold air and started coughing violently.

Xie Yi patiently patted his back and fed him water until he stopped coughing. Then he continued what he had said before: "Brother Apeng's true love for the eldest brother really touched Tan Nu. And the fact that the eldest brother was willing to stand behind you despite his sick body for your ambitions, even if he didn't want to fight, really moved Tan Nu."

“Although this struggle is very weak, it is not ugly.”

Xie Yi said softly, "To be honest, I was a little frivolous. When I was young, I was smarter than ordinary children. Therefore, I saw and understood the difficult life my mother lived in Wuwei Marquis Mansion. I understand the feeling of being helpless. It is because I understand that I came to Brother Apeng."

"I will watch you and witness what your end will be."

"Ha!" Prince Gong laughed desolately, "You are also unwilling, but you dare not, dare not be like me, disobey, offend your superiors, and kill your own relatives to fill the void in your heart!"

"Because my heart is not empty, nor do I feel resentful. The person I love loves me as well, and this is enough for me." He raised his finger and pointed at his heart. "I have seen how difficult it is for my mother, so how can I ask for anything more? I just hope that Tan Nu's relatives and friends can be safe and happy in this life."

"Tan Nu's heart is very small, it can only hold these."

He lowered his head tenderly and shyly: "If something else insists on interfering, it will only end up like Master Zhou Er. Brother Apeng, it is precisely because you have not been squeezed out of Tan Nu's heart for the time being that I am here now."

"You said you had me in your heart, but you wouldn't even help me." Prince Gong coldly exposed the cold reality beneath the soft words of gratitude.

Xie Yi didn't feel embarrassed at all, and smiled and replied: "I told you before, your actions are to steal Yuan Jun's things. Although you are all in Tan Nu's heart, the most important people in Tan Nu's heart are of course my grandmother, mother and sister."

Prince Gong stared at him fiercely for a long time before he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "Then you know, in the south, not only did Aunt Rong Le set a trap for Yuan Jun, but even the old leader of the Red Sun Sect secretly intervened and wanted to bury your good sister at the bottom of the lake!"

"Brother Apeng may not know that the Tongzhou Lake has now turned into a sea of ​​flowers. The goddess emerged from the lake on a dragon and turned the lake into a wilderness."

“Goddess?!” Prince Gong’s eyes widened for a moment, then quickly narrowed, “What kind of tricks are you playing!”

"Wait a few days and you'll know."
