The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

This Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet ended in such an anticlimactic way.

The next day, Xie Yuzhen got up early and went to visit Xu Xiaoyi.

Xu Xiaoyi has moved out of Yanzhang Palace and is temporarily living in Yuchunju. Yuchunju is a little far from Shouning Palace and its location is relatively remote, but fortunately it is quiet and the scenery is also very nice.

Last night, the Queen had sent people to destroy Suigetsu Temple, and all those involved in the case were handed over to Kyoto Prefecture for interrogation. As for the women trapped in the temple, they were temporarily placed in a place that specifically accommodates hooligans, and arrangements will be made after the case is tried clearly.

Xu Xiaoyi's mother was sent to the palace that night to reunite with her daughter.

Outside Yuchunju, Xie Yuzhen got off the sedan chair, but saw a familiar figure walking out of Yuchunju. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Shen Xiaoyi.

Shen Xiaoyi didn't look very happy. She must have hit a wall with Xu Xiaoyi.

Ever since she asked Xu Xiaoyi for bamboo-patterned silk and made dresses overnight to seduce the emperor, but was rejected by the emperor instead, Shen Xiaoyi became a laughing stock in the palace. After a little hesitation, Xu Xiaoyi chose to use this incident to break up with Shen Xiaoyi.

Even the first task of her miracle medicine system required her to gain Shen Xiaoyi's favor.

Seeing Xie Yuzhen, Shen Xiaoyi reluctantly went forward to greet him. Xie Yuzhen was very stable even when he didn't want to treat anyone. She called him calmly, "Yanzhang Palace is quite far from Yuchun Residence. Shen Xiaoyi, are you up so early in the morning?"

Shen Xiaoyi choked suddenly.

She was not of high rank and did not have a sedan chair to ride in, so she got up early in the morning and walked all morning to get here. But when she arrived at Yuchunju, she was asked to leave by the palace servants without even seeing Xu Xiaoyi... Shen Xiaoyi, who did not understand why she was suddenly moved to another palace, was very angry.

"I'm afraid Madam Talent has come at a bad time. I heard from the palace maids that Liu Xiaoyi hasn't woken up yet."

Xie Yuzhen knew immediately that Shen Xiaoyi knew nothing about what happened last night. She had no interest in explaining it to her, so she just nodded and said, "She was indeed a bit tired last night. It's okay for me to wait. Yuchun Residence has a nice view anyway, so I can take a walk and enjoy the flowers and trees."

Shen Xiaoyi became more and more curious. She actually asked the concubines in higher positions to wait for her. Could it be that... this bitch who stepped on her to get to the top in her previous life, finally got favored in this life after she was intercepted and robbed her of her bed? !

Her face became uglier and uglier, jealousy in her heart kept boiling, and her hatred for Xu Xiaoyi became deeper and deeper.

Xie Yuzhen admired Shen Xiaoyi's expression for a while, and said no more. He took Xia Zhi's hand and walked slowly to the door of Yuchunju.

Before she could knock, the door opened from the inside.

Xu Xiaoyi's personal maid Shuangyi was waiting behind the door with a happy look on her face: "Madam, please come in."

Shen Xiaoyi, who was full of resentment, saw this scene and finally realized that it was not that Xu Xiaoyi didn't wake up, but that the other person just didn't want to see her!

She stamped her feet in annoyance and turned away.

Entered Yuchunju.

Xie Yuzhen saw Xu Xiaoyi standing with a woman with a thin face and a scar across her eyebrow. When they saw her coming, the mother and daughter came forward to greet her.

Without saying anything, Xu's mother knelt down with her daughter and said, "I thank you for saving my life."

Xie Yuzhen quickly asked Xia Zhi to help Xu's mother up, and he himself pulled Xu Xiaoyi up: "Madam, you are too polite. Xu Xiaoyi and I hit it off right away and have a close relationship. You are like my aunt. How can I bear to see my aunt suffer?"

With just one sentence, she brought Xu Xiaoyi and herself closer, and Xu Xiaoyi was even more happy to see it happen. She didn't know why Xie Yuzhen helped her so many times, but the benefits really fell on her. Even if it was just because she slapped Liu Hong for her and helped rescue her mother... Xu Xiaoyi was willing to be her vanguard for the rest of her life.

"My wife is so... so kind." Mother Xu choked up and didn't know what to say.

She had thought that she would be buried in that dirty place for the rest of her life...If that were the case, Xu's mother would not have been so resentful. However, Liu Hong took her daughter away and asked her Yueyuan to enter the palace. What was her plan? Xu's mother couldn't figure it out at first, but after seeing many women from official families in that nunnery, she gradually understood.

Liu Shuyi was injured when giving birth to the princess and could no longer get pregnant. Her daughter entered the palace just to give birth to a child for Liu Shuyi, but once the child was born, she was afraid that both mother and daughter would die!

Even though they are safe now, every time Xu's mother thinks of this, she still feels waves of fear in her heart.

She only has this one daughter in her life, and she would rather die than let her daughter get hurt in any way.

The scar on Xu's mother's head was left when she tried to commit suicide. That time, she failed and a kind-hearted woman told her that even if she died in the nunnery and the news could not get out, Liu Hong would still have a way to control her daughter. It would be better for her to live on, one day at a time. As long as she was alive, there might still be hope. If she died, there would really be nothing left.

Only after listening to the woman's advice did Xu's mother survive.

She is now extremely grateful that she did not dwell on the issue and finally waited for the day to reunite with her daughter.

Several people entered the house and sat down. After Xie Yuzhen showed concern for Xu's mother and Xu Xiaoyi's head injury, he talked about how he met Shen Xiaoyi outside Yuchunju.

Xu Xiaoyi heard this and said, "After what she did, I don't want to be friends with her anymore."

Because they were talking about matters between concubines in the palace, Xu Xiaoyi was afraid that her mother would worry, so she made an excuse that she wanted to drink the drink that her mother often made at home, and sent her mother away.

After Xu's mother left, Xie Yuzhen said, "Ayuan has really left an impression on His Majesty this time. Will the wound on your head leave a scar?"

When Xu Xiaoyi heard her calling her "A Yuan" instead of "Sister Xu" which sounded a bit distant, her ears turned slightly red. She whispered, "The imperial physician prescribed some ointment. Apply it after the wound heals. It won't leave any scars. Thank you... Sister for your concern."

Her voice was soft and her appearance was well-behaved and delicate. Xie Yuzhen didn't know why, but suddenly felt a little guilty. After all, her plan was to make the two system holders hostile to each other... She forced her mind not to think about it, and started talking about how Qian Shunyi tried to drug her last night but failed, which instead implicated the death of the fourth prince two years ago, and how he was banished to the cold palace by the emperor that night.

Xu Xiaoyi's beautiful almond-shaped eyes suddenly widened: "Are you okay, sister? Are you scared?"

Xie Yuzhen shook his head uncomfortably: "I never drink scented tea. As soon as I saw the tea, I knew there was something wrong. Huizhu is also a spineless person. She tricked me out with just a few words. Qian Shunyi lost more than he gained, but..."

"Sister, do you think that Qian Shunyi is not the real murderer who murdered the Fourth Prince?" Xu Xiaoyi was very touched by Xie Yuzhen's kindness to her. She was eager to show her usefulness, but it was a pity that she had replaced the reward of the previous task with medicine that increased the chance of pregnancy. She didn't know when the next task would come, so she must find one that her sister could use by then!
