The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

Just when King Danzhu was secretly dealing with the traitor in his tent.

A group of people walked over silently under the moonlight.

The figure outside the tent moved for a moment, and Gegentana's brother standing at the door winked at King Danzhu.

Seeing this, King Danzhu asked Gegentana to cover Shaobu's mouth, and asked Gegentana's other brother to open a gap in the tent. Then, the people outside the tent bent down and went in one after another.

The leading black-clad man put down his hand that was covering his heart and said, "Madam Shun, am I here at a bad time?"

With the help of the light in the tent, Gegentana saw the face of the person coming and was shocked and blurted out: "Why is it you?!"

The visitor chuckled, "Don't worry, madam. I have a letter from my third sister. Well, mother also knows that I am here."

Under the flickering lights, Lu Baohui had a well-behaved smile on her face as she handed Lu Zaiguang's handwritten letter to Gegentana, and then turned to greet King Danzhu: "When I was in Beijing, I often heard people say that King Danzhu was brave and wise. Seeing you today, I find that you are indeed energetic and extraordinary."

"Princess, you are so kind. How dare I say that?" King Danzhu was very polite - from his daughter's reaction, he could tell that the person coming today was not this princess. However, he only knew in advance that someone from the royal family of Dasheng would come, and he didn't know which one it would be, so he didn't dare to say much, and just squinted his eyes to see how Gegentana would react next.

Gegentana quickly finished reading the handwritten letter, put the letter on her body, and made a normal gesture to King Danzhu: "Everything is normal. Tomorrow morning, we will attack the rebels from both inside and outside with the Dasheng army."

After saying that, Gegentana looked at Lu Baohui again. Lu Baohui smiled, turned around and whispered a few words to the guards behind her, and then said, "Then I'll trouble Madam Shun and King Danzhu. When we discuss merits at the banquet tomorrow, my Lu family will not let you down."

Under the same night sky.

Outside the city, the cavalry was solemn.

There were beacon fires blazing on the city walls.

And inside the city, a secret and dangerous change was brewing.

Outside the emperor's bedroom, the Yulin Guards who were originally patrolling were silently transferred away.

A figure slumped in a wheelchair, with the wheels turning, was silently escorted by a group of people to the door of the bedroom.

"I will not go in. I hope you will not forget your agreement with me." Half of Jinxiang County Prince's face was hidden in the night, and the other half was full of impetuous eagerness. His exaggerated smile made his originally handsome face look like a disgusting villain who had achieved success.

The person in the wheelchair was obviously an elderly person.

His voice was hoarse: "Of course, Your Highness, don't worry."

“Hey, hey.” Prince Jinxiang nodded happily and watched the old man in the wheelchair go away.

He and his entourage stayed where they were. When he thought that the annoying Queen Xie and his father, who had never given him any chance, would die tonight, Prince Jinxiang was so happy that he wanted to jump and laugh.

He couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth. He glanced at the wheelchair figure in front of him and asked the follower behind him: "Has the arrangement been completed for Lao Liu?"

"Everything has been prepared, but Concubine Hui is always with Concubine Liu and her son. If she is there when we start... I am worried that something unexpected will happen."

The Prince of Jinxiang waved his hands impatiently: "Don't be scared by the way Concubine Chen Hui used to help the Queen manage the palace. No matter what, she is just a woman, and this is not the imperial palace in the capital. If she is here, we can get rid of her together. By the way, Cheng Anke has gone back. Why didn't we see her this afternoon?"

"This... Your subordinates and others don't know where Her Highness Cheng An is. Her Highness seems to be in a bad mood recently and always likes to walk around in the evening."

"Then forget about her." The Prince of Jinxiang thought for a moment, rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Hasn't she always disliked me for not being able to accomplish great things and not knowing how to make progress? Ha, this time, let her see how I accomplish great things!"

"When the time comes, I will make this arrogant elder sister like me kneel before me willingly!"

He happily imagined himself killing the emperor and empress with the help of an outsider, then getting rid of the outsider, obtaining the jade seal and tiger talisman, taking control of the army and ministers in the city, leading his troops out of the encirclement, returning to the capital to gather the army and fight back, and legitimately ascending the throne as emperor.

The corners of his mouth were turning upwards.

It was as if the Prince of Jinxiang had already put on the dragon robe at this moment.

And in another place.

Under the moonlight, in the quiet and silent little garden.

Princess Cheng'an's eyes were still red, but the sadness in her expression was not as strong. Princess Yongtai sat beside her, raised her hand and pointed at the twinkling stars in the night sky, talking about how her elder sister patiently taught her to recognize the star map when she was young.

At the moment when the atmosphere was the most harmonious, a voice suddenly came from the top of the rockery next to the two of them: "...Second sister, you are wrong, that one is the Lone Arrow Star, not Sirius."

“Scared!!” Princess Yongtai suddenly jumped up and looked in the direction of the voice, “Lu Zaiguang!!!”

She quickly climbed up from the bottom of the rockery and pulled down her sister, who had been lying lazily on the top of the rockery with a book in her hand and had been eavesdropping for who knows how long. She asked, "Why are you here?!"

Princess Fengning protected the book with one hand and stretched out the other hand: "Fourth sister is more ambitious and more active than me, so--"

She yawned. "I'll just let her do the job."

"What errand?" Princess Cheng'an was confused.

Princess Fengning looked at her steadily for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed, "It's a tough job to run around everywhere, don't be surprised, big sister. We have something to hide from you, but you did surprise me."

"What do you mean?"

"Fourth sister wanted to make progress, and mother gave her a chance. If eldest sister also wanted to make progress, mother would also give you a chance. But eldest sister was so easily abducted by second sister and ran away here to hide. It's really... Alas, in the final analysis, it's because I don't know eldest sister well enough. This time, I lost to mother again."

Princess Cheng An felt something was not right as she listened, and cold sweat broke out on her back: "What my mother told me..."

Xie Yuzhen had once instigated her that as long as she was ruthless enough to take the initiative, kill the emperor and empress, and then seize the righteousness, she could return to the capital to seize the throne after suppressing the rebellion...

"What a joke!" Princess Cheng An finally realized what a ruthless trap this was. She finally calmed down, but she was about to collapse again. "Not to mention that as a daughter, how could I have the heart to do that to my own father? Am I such an idiot that I can't see that this is a dead end?"
