The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

The dream-making system was startled and quickly turned on the scanning function: [Master, Master...]

Xie Yuzhen also felt that her mind was a little unstable, dizzy and cold, but the emperor had not gone far, so she held her hands tightly together in her sleeves, using the pain to stay calm: [He has a system, or, he had a system, right? ]

[......Master......] The entire dream-making system was frightened, as if it had returned to the moment when it found that its companion had been emptied out and only an empty shell was left. [Yes, yes, the emperor has remnants of the main god's energy, but it was left over a long time ago. Unlike Concubine Deng, the energy fluctuations in the emperor are also very weak, but after comparing it with the database, the system can confirm that it is the remnant of the Ten Thousand Worlds Chat Group! ]

[…It’s dark under the lamp, it’s dark under the lamp!] Xie Yuzhen waited until he could no longer see the emperor’s back before he kicked down a chair next to him in anger.

The loud noise startled Yun Rong, who had just walked to the door: "Empress Zhao Guipin?"

Xie Yuzhen took a deep breath and calmed down for the time being: "Aunt Yunrong, is there anything that the Queen needs me for?"

"No." Yun Rong shook his head and said, "Lady Xu has woken up. Her Majesty asked me to invite you over."

A Yuan is awake?

It was rare to hear such good news, Xie Yuzhen sighed and said, "Then please take me there."

The bloody smell was still strong inside. Because Miss Xu had just had a miscarriage and couldn't stand the wind, the window of the room was only slightly opened to allow ventilation, so the bloody smell lingered for a long time.

The Queen, who was sitting beside Concubine Xu's bed, did not look very happy either. She had been suffering from illness for many years. Although Concubine Xu saved her with a miraculous medicine when she was critically ill, her foundation had been damaged too much... And now, the true face of Concubine Deng, whom she had trusted for many years and even regarded as a sister, was suddenly exposed. After suffering another major blow, the heavy sickness seemed to haunt her again.

Seeing Xie Yuzhen coming in, the queen's face turned pale and she forced a smile: "It's good that you're here. I'll go out and see how to deal with this matter. Concubine Xu has woken up. You can come and accompany her. She is still young and can have children. Relax your mind and take care of yourself first."

"Your Majesty should also take good care of yourself." Xie Yuzhen always felt that the Queen's face showed a kind of ominous decline, so he couldn't help but remind her, "Your Majesty is arbitrary, and we concubines only exist because of him. Your Majesty has reminded me before that we should leave a glimmer of hope in everything. Why do you have to..."

As long as the queen does not always confront the emperor, her position will be unbreakable.

But Xie Yuzhen had been in the palace for such a long time, and had witnessed the disagreements between the empress and the emperor more than once. Even today, there seemed to be affection between the two, but it also seemed that this affection was already crumbling.

When Xie Yuzhen first met the queen, he was shocked by her majesty and confidence. After several attempts, he finally determined that the queen was a person with a cold face but a kind heart, especially towards the women in the harem, who showed more pity and protection... But this kindness was probably incomprehensible to many people, including the emperor.

Xie Yuzhen could see it and agree with it, but her identity, position and situation did not allow her to be as firm and compassionate as the queen.

The queen shook her head gently: "I... I have never been a very peaceful person since I was a child. The north doesn't have so many rules as in Kyoto. When I was young, I also loved horse racing, hunting, and wandering around the streets. At that time, I was obsessed with the stories of female swordsmen, and I wished I could pick up a three-foot-long sword and go out to fight for justice..."

"It's just that things in this world often don't go as one wishes." The queen's eyes were filled with tender nostalgia. "My father died early, and my mother and concubines were all beautiful women. In the north, it was difficult for a group of widows to support a palace. But my mother insisted on bringing us to the palace after my father passed away, and she still managed all the affairs in Dongxiang City. It was not until I was old and had to choose a husband that my whole family came to Beijing."

"At that time, I knew that I was destined not to be a chivalrous woman, but... maybe I could be like my mother and create a better life for other women who are helpless. But now, I always fail to do well enough, and I can only watch these things happen..."

Tears flickered in the corners of her eyes: "As the only daughter of King Dongxiang, if I had never entered the palace..."

"Your Majesty has been in charge of the harem and has prevented many injustices for everyone in the harem." If it weren't for the fact that all the strange things from outside the world were too hard to guard against and the queen had never been harmed by them, Xie Yu really believed that the place where he stood would not have so much helplessness and regrets.

It would not cause such a dead and pale emotion to appear in the eyes of the woman in front of him.

"Oh... never mind. Why bother talking about such troubles?" The queen wiped her eyes lightly, then stood up and left.

Xie Yuzhen was in a completely different mood from before. Looking at the departing figure of the other most honorable person in the dynasty, he felt a lot of emotions in his heart. For a moment, he was even overwhelmed by the horror that the emperor was also a system holder.

She didn't know the extent of the emperor's knowledge of the system, nor did she know what strange things he had obtained from the chat group of all worlds. She also didn't know whether there was a more covert transaction between him and the Duke of England.

[Does each of your systems know what will happen in the future? ] Xie Yuzhen asked calmly.

The dream-making system shrank: [Yes. ]

【I see. 】

[Master, Master! Don't lose heart!] Seeing that Xie Yuzhen seemed to have lost his vitality, the dream-making system tried to overcome its instinct to follow its heart, [Wanjie was severely beaten, maybe it broke not long after it was bound to the emperor, or maybe it just had some remaining functions that were picked up by the emperor, and it was completely too late to issue tasks!]

[I'm fine, I just need some time to sort things out.] Xie Yuzhen said soothingly and walked towards the bed.

Lady Xu on the bed had a pale face and looked so weak that she looked like she would die at any moment. She forced her eyelids open to see Xie Yuzhen and wanted to smile at her, but she didn't have the strength.

Xie Yuzhen understood clearly and leaned over to press the corner of Lady Xu's quilt again: "Little bastard, you scared me."

She touched Concubine Xu's cold forehead, but she really wanted to know in her heart, when the emperor was waiting in the black-sailed boat and saw her struggling helplessly in the water, would he think the way this woman paddled like a dog was really ridiculous?
