The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

Prince Gong's expression suddenly changed. He was weak and it was normal for his limbs to be weak. As long as the pattern of his breathing was wrong, it was also normal for him to feel dizzy. For a moment, he could not tell whether Princess Rong Le's threatening words were true or just a bluff.

The maid behind him gently touched his hand which was on the wheelchair, and Prince Gong felt relieved.

He felt relieved, but his clan members were instantly furious.

The hot-tempered man had already drawn his weapon and was ready to fight Princess Rong Le. The latter was naturally prepared. The moment she retreated, the door behind her opened, and archers and swordsmen rushed out one after another. In an instant, several fresh corpses appeared on the ground.

“Either you die here now, or you fight to the last and die in my revenge or poison in the future!” Princess Rong Le sneered, “Or, you can follow me out of the city to fight the enemy, and you will die in battle with honor!”

She finished her words.

Princess Fuchang sighed and said, "Sister, you have put so much effort into this, and all you want is to leave a bad reputation and be infamous forever?"

"I only hope that when future generations talk about Dasheng, they can't avoid the three words 'Lu Dengting'! Whether it is a bad name or a good name, that is not important."

She took a step forward and approached Princess Fuchang: "My dear sister, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You know, as long as the people in our family are determined to do something, they will definitely do it. Emotions, ethics, morals... are not important!"

"I don't care whether this rebellion succeeds or fails!"

She coldly glanced at the people present who were all looking dissatisfied: "I am going to go crazy this time, and I want you to go crazy with me. You can only stay here respectfully!"

"Besides, I am already very close to my goal, right?"

She stood behind the controlled Jinwu Guards, with her hands behind her back, and was about to turn around and leave.

But a familiar voice was heard from the crowd: "Is this the madness that the Red Sun Sect Leader promised His Highness Rong Le?"

Princess Rong Le paused, her eyes wide open with surprise and realization: "You actually stayed in the capital, and the queen was willing to let you go... Or could a person like the queen also make mistakes and omissions?"

She and everyone else looked at the maid who was lowering her head behind Prince Gong: "Marquis Yongjia, did you expect that you would be poisoned by the Red Yang Sect's unique medicine when you came here today?"

The maid, Xie Yi, raised her head. She was wearing women's clothes and had light makeup on her face, which did not look out of place. "Your Highness, I know that the leader of the Red Sun Cult promised to support you, so that you can use the power of the cult to control the royal family and officials in the capital, control the Jinwu Guards, and contact the tribes in the northern grasslands to besiege the emperor and empress, so that you have enough manpower and space to cause a big commotion in the capital."

"So what?"

"Then do you know that he also promised the Prince of Jinxiang that he would set up a trap in the Northern Palace in advance to assassinate the emperor and empress, and at the same time get rid of the Sixth Prince for him. He also promised that as long as the Prince of Jinxiang could break through and return to the capital with the imperial seal, he would be given the opportunity to kill you and seize power?"

Princess Rong Le's expression changed slightly and she kept silent.

Xie Yi pulled out a black folding fan from behind Prince Gong's wheelchair, tapped his palm with it and said, "At the same time, he also promised Prince Gong that after Your Highness Rong Le fell out with the royal family in Beijing, he would fully support everyone in forcing His Highness to kill him, and then nominate Prince Yi Yang as their leader."

Princess Rong Le glanced at Prince Gong, who had a puzzled look on his face, and said, "You are indeed my good nephew. Like me, you are unwilling to give up this good opportunity. It's a pity that your brother's body may not survive until the day I die. The same goes for not only him, but also the Princess Consort and the little one in her belly... Ha!"

"What did you do to your brother?!" Prince Gong slammed the armrest and was about to stand up, but Xie Yi was quick to push him back.

Princess Rong Le was still full of sarcasm: "Does he need me to do anything for his body? You should ask me what I have done for your good sister-in-law."

After that, she brushed her long sleeves and looked at Xie Yi: "Of course I know that the Hongyang Sect and Yiyang Mansion have unclear relations, but I never thought that the real connection behind this is actually Prince Gong. He is really a good brother of the Lu family that is hard to find in a hundred years. He is almost dying, but he is still obsessed with pushing his useless brother to the throne!"

"Big brother is the emperor's eldest son! Why can't I fight for it!" Prince Gong was like a hedgehog that was poked, with all the spikes on his body exploding. "When mother was alive, he loved big brother so much, but when mother died, he just threw us away... Ha! The more he doesn't care, the more indifferent he is, the more I will go against his will! I will take back everything that big brother deserves!!!"

"Ha, you speak so sincerely, but in fact you are using your brother as a tool to avenge your father?" Princess Rong Le doubled her sarcasm, "Does your brother want to fight? His temper is more docile than a hundred-year-old turtle. I think the reason he agreed to this is because he really loves you, his brother - he is a rare and kind man."

"If he knew that his love for you as his brother was a deadly poison that could kill his wife and children, how would he feel?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, two lonely, weak and stupid men. If it was simply because of the difficulty in pregnancy and the instability of the fetus, how could the Princess of the County become so skinny? She was just hoping that she could hold on until after giving birth and deliberately hid it from you. What a pity, it's too late for her to be ambitious. If she had decided to give birth to a child as a bargaining chip to seize power earlier, how could I have the chance to poison her?"

Princess Rong Le was filled with joy as Prince Gong's expression changed from blank to regretful and angry. She laughed heartily, "Too tender! Too tender!"

Just laugh.

He raised his chin and nodded in gratitude: "Marquis Yongjia, if there is anything we don't know, why don't you tell us now so that we can understand it together. The leader of the Red Sun Cult is sneaky and has made many bets and promises. I'm afraid what he wants is not something too ordinary, right?"

Xie Yi nodded and said, "In addition to the above, the leader of the Hongyang Sect also promised His Highness Shou'an that when the grassland coalition army besieged the border city, he would help her defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, win the trust of the emperor and empress, lead the army back to the capital, kill the rebels, and seize the throne. When her brothers and sisters are all dead and she has made several contributions to quelling rebellions, she will be the only candidate for the crown prince. Even if the emperor and empress are angry, she will have the power to compete with them."

"Oh, eight-clawed demon!" Prince Gong cursed in a low voice.

Xie Yi waved his folding fan and said, "Not only that, even at the Princess' place, the Red Yang Sect Leader had contact with her alone..."
