The most beautiful lady in the harem

The news came out in the middle of the night. The maid serving Concubine Xian was going to go in to help her wash her face and go to bed, so she extinguished the candle. Unexpectedly, when she arrived at Concubine Xian's room, she saw a body hanging from the pillar.

The virtuous concubine's neck was hanging on the rope, her body swaying with it, and her face was so pale that it could not be described as pale.

The maid screamed in fear, dropped the basin in her hand, and ran out and shouted, "Something happened, something happened, the virtuous concubine committed suicide."

Now that Concubine Xian is the person in charge of the palace, if something happens, she naturally has to report it to the emperor immediately.

Because of this incident, although Zhu Wanxi didn't want to speak in front of Qin Liuse, Qin Liuse became the third person outside of the palace of Concubine Xian to know about it, apart from Emperor Yongjia.

Emperor Yongjia no longer had time to make love with Qin Liuse, so he hurriedly put on his dragon robe and went to the harem.

After Qin Liuse tidied herself up, she returned to Shu Yuexuan.

Along the way, I was thinking, how could the virtuous concubine commit suicide for no reason? This matter must not be that simple.

Suddenly, I thought of the palace maid who jumped into the well in Kunning Palace. I heard that Concubine Xian recognized that palace maid, but the truth had not yet come out, and she died at this critical juncture, and there was no evidence to prove her guilt.

After thinking about it, I always feel that these things are inextricably linked.

The virtuous concubine had no children and was one of the four concubines. Why would she choose to commit suicide at this time?

Moreover, if a crime was committed in the harem, the family of the concubine who committed suicide would be implicated.

How could Concubine Xian be so depressed?

How could such an honest and virtuous person like her bring trouble to her own people?

But Qin Liuse couldn't figure out these details for a while.

What she could think of, Emperor Yongjia could naturally think of as well.

This incident became the biggest stone thrown into the seemingly calm harem since the death of the late queen, causing a huge uproar.

Although the body of Concubine Xian had just been discovered, the news had spread to every corner of the harem before midnight.

That night, although Qin Liuse was exhausted after being tormented by Emperor Yongjia, she did not sleep well when she lay down in the palace.

As soon as I closed my eyes, every scene of my time with Concubine Xian appeared in my mind.

Such a good person, who is offended by her? How could anyone have the heart to take her life? With Concubine Xian's personality, no one wants to offend her.

All I can say is that some people are just evil-hearted.

After tossing and turning, Qin Liuse finally fell into a deep sleep when it was almost dawn. However, her sleep was not deep and she woke up after two hours.

Because she felt a little lazy, after she got up, Qingqing Zijin helped her wash and comb her hair, and then she chose a plain dress for her to change into.

The rank of Concubine Xian was not as high as that of the Queen. Logically, after her death, the harem would not need to follow so many rituals and customs. But after all, they had met before, so Qin Liuse still wanted to respect her more.

When the time comes, the sisters in the harem will go to the spirit house of Concubine Xian to pay their respects and bid farewell.

Since breakfast had not been served yet, Qin Liuse went out for a walk.

It was as if overnight, the nearby flowers and plants lost their color, and my heart full of sorrow turned into silence.

But at this moment, an annoying voice reached Qin Liuse's ears, "They are all our daughters, and some of them will bring shame to the Qin family."

Qin Huaijin followed behind Qin Liuse, as if he couldn't continue talking, but he paused for a moment, still unhappy that he hadn't humiliated Qin Liuse, and continued, "How shameless! I went to deliver sweet soup to the emperor, but I actually delivered it to the emperor's table!"

"That's the Imperial Study! That's where the Emperor handles state affairs and meets with the Cabinet! How could you seduce the Emperor in that place! You are such a slutty vixen! We in the Qin family are ashamed of you!"

Qin Huaijin almost wanted to spit at Qin Liuse.

There were several maids following behind her. When they heard Qin Huaijin humiliating Qin Liuse, they covered their mouths and laughed secretly. They were probably laughing at how Qin Liuse, a concubine, could be so frivolous and dissolute.

Qin Liuse frowned slightly. She knew without thinking that it was Wei Lanxin who spread the news and even exaggerated it. It seemed that her "deeds" yesterday were already known to everyone.

Qin Liuse frowned. It was not because this matter was widely circulated that she was unhappy. She had been mentally prepared since yesterday. She was angry and ashamed for the whole day, but no matter how embarrassed she was, it was diluted by the news of Concubine Xian's death.

What made her unhappy was that she heard Qin Huaijin's fault-finding voice early in the morning.

Qin Liuse evened out her breathing and tried to force a smile, looking at Qin Huaijin's face full of jealousy, "Where did you hear these rumors, sister? If you are unhappy about this and think that this matter is inappropriate and that I should be beheaded in public, why don't you go and tell the emperor!"

With just one sentence, Qin Liuse pushed all the blame onto Emperor Yongjia.

The maid who was following Qin Huaijin and watching the fun stop laughing after hearing this.

It's hard to say that she would be offensive. One sentence made Qin Huaijin stunned. He probably didn't expect Qin Liuse to be so shameless that she could say such words without blushing or beating her heart.

"Don't drag the emperor into this! The emperor is the emperor, he is the supreme ruler! That is the emperor's study, such an important and majestic place, he also receives ministers to discuss matters on weekdays. If you hadn't seduced the emperor and didn't forget to act coquettishly during the day, how could so many things have happened?" Qin Huaijin chattered on and on.

"Sister, you're joking." Qin Liuse stroked her hair and shamelessly provoked her, "It takes two to tango. This kind of thing can't be accomplished by one person alone."

This means that flies don't bite seamless eggs. If the emperor didn't want her to do it, she wouldn't be able to accomplish anything on her own.

Qin Huaijin gritted his teeth and said, "Even if the emperor wants you to, you should act like a concubine! Concubines should assist the emperor, not seduce men day and night like you! If you pick up some, how could this happen?"

Goodness, it's her fault both ways.

Unexpectedly, Qin Liuse continued, "Sister, you know that the emperor hasn't summoned you to sleep with him for a long time. Even if you are unhappy, you don't have to vent your anger on me."

"Since you want to know, I will tell you everything. It was the Empress Dowager who asked me to bring sweet soup to the Emperor yesterday, so I went there. But as for what happened next, it was the Emperor who asked me to stay a little longer."

"The emperor said that he saw that my sister was in a good mood, so he wouldn't let her go." Qin Liuse was simply adding water to the frying pan.

She took two steps forward, with a smile of victory on her face, and looked directly at Qin Huaijin and said, "Sister, why don't you think about it more? Is it that the emperor's mood is different when he sees you than when he sees my sister? Or is it that the emperor would rather talk to my sister a few more words and spend more time with her during this afternoon break, rather than summoning you to have sex with me?"

Qin Liuse whispered in her ear again, "Sister has advised the emperor, but the emperor just can't let go of sister. What do you think we should do..."

Qin Huaijin was so angry at the boasting in her tone and words that his head was about to explode!

After saying these words, Qin Liuse felt relieved. Her eyes swept across the faces of Qin Huaijin and the maid behind who dared not laugh anymore. She didn't bother others, but these people just came to laugh at her!

Then let’s see who is the joke now!
