The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

"Your Majesty, you are finally here." Xie Yuzhen's tone suddenly became gentle and sad.

The Duke of England, who was following the emperor, could not help but recall that when he went to the countryside, he had seen the "ghost plays" performed at night in some places, in which there was a "female ghost" with loose hair, wearing red clothes, and blood-tear makeup and wailing incessantly.

He could not help but shiver, and thought of his eldest daughter who had just died. Suddenly, he felt the temperature around him drop a lot. His heart, which was covered with a thin layer of sadness, suddenly became empty, and he felt a resistance to the idea of ​​"seeing his eldest daughter for the last time".

"Why is Xianming here?" asked the emperor.

Xie Yuzhen wiped her tears and said, "After returning from the Lizheng Palace, I wanted to change my clothes and come to visit Sister Xianfei. I didn't expect that when I was changing my clothes, I heard... heard..."

She choked.

The emperor couldn't tell whether the sad expression was real or fake - in fact, long before he officially came into contact with Xie Yu, he already knew that this woman was no ordinary person.

The voice in his head kept urging the emperor to get rid of Xie Yuzhen, the little girl who had usurped the throne, in advance for the sake of the Lu family's country and the future of thousands of men like him.

The emperor, of course... refused.

Not only did he refuse, he even insisted on going against that voice.

The voice claiming to be from the Chat Group System of All Worlds lured the emperor by saying that as long as he completed the task, he would be able to open the treasure house. With the help of these treasures from outer space, he could make his kingdom more prosperous and become a wise and unrivaled monarch.

The temptation of a wise and enlightened ruler is indeed great.

but.

The emperor was no fool. Although he did not quite understand what this system was used for, he keenly grasped the flaws of this strange thing from the self-introduction of the Ten Thousand Worlds Chat Group System - if it could chat with all the worlds, how could there be only one treasure house?

You have to complete some task and target an ordinary woman before you can unlock it.

What if it is actually a monster that deliberately came to disrupt his kingdom?

The emperor would never believe the system's words without first getting actual benefits. However, the All Worlds Chat Group System suffered a slap in the face from Heaven before it came into being. Now it is seriously lacking in energy and even the treasure house cannot be opened, so the two sides are deadlocked.

Gradually, the emperor deduced two possibilities. If this strange thing was not deliberately deceiving him, then it could only prove that its current situation was not good and it was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

After the emperor treated the other party perfunctorily for a while, the figure gradually became weak, and then disappeared one day, leaving him a "treasure".

A treasure that can grant other people strange abilities.

Unfortunately, the use of the treasure is also greatly restricted. Moreover, as the owner of the treasure, the emperor can grant abilities to others, but he cannot do as he pleases. Moreover, once given away, it cannot be taken back and can only be destroyed. And every time it is destroyed, the power of the treasure itself will be consumed.

After being deceived by Concubine Deng, the emperor took back the treasures that had been damaged to the extreme, mobilized energy to remove the moss hidden under various palaces, and then only kept the last bit of energy just in case.

The reason why he showed leniency to the Duke of England's Mansion, besides because he coveted the "good reviews" that he didn't know whether they existed or not, was because he himself was actually not sure whether the remaining energy could destroy the "panel" on Fourth Miss Deng's body as smoothly as before.

Everything hidden in the dark beneath the harmony between the monarch and his subjects was just as Concubine Deng had speculated before her death.

"Your Majesty, I only regret that I cannot walk faster, otherwise I would not be able to see my sister for the last time..." Xie Yu really performed hard.

The emperor found that he was unable to distinguish the true and false emotions of Xie Yuzhen. He felt an electric current rising from his tailbone and spreading to his whole body in an instant.

The wealthy emperor seldom had this mixture of fear and excitement. Only when he was fighting in the battlefield or chasing and hunting giant beasts in the wild woods, would he feel this emotion that made his whole body tremble.

Subconsciously, he softened his tone and took a step forward: "You miss Concubine Xian so much, I'm sure she will be relieved if she knows it in the afterlife, stop crying..."

Xie Yuzhen continued to cry and turned her head away, refusing to look at the emperor.

At this moment, the emperor had completely forgotten the purpose of bringing the Duke of England here: "What do you want? Why don't you tell me?"

Based on his understanding of this woman, she definitely couldn't be crying like this because of Concubine Deng, and she definitely wanted to ask for something from him by crying.

Perhaps it was because Xie Yuzhen was still extremely beautiful even with her eyes swollen from crying, perhaps it was because her crying voice was as mournful and beautiful as the weeping of a phoenix, perhaps... it was because the emperor firmly believed that he had fallen in love with this woman whose heart was filled with ambitions and soaked in poison, but who was in tune with his thoughts in every way.

He did not show any dissatisfaction or annoyance towards Xie Yuzhen's attitude. Instead, he was like a young man who met his lover for the first time. He was anxious and frightened, trying to find out the real reason why the woman was crying so that she could smile again.

"Your Majesty..." Xie Yuzhen's tearful eyes finally turned around. She looked at the emperor with a look of hesitation, "...before Sister Xianfei passed away, she missed Fourth Sister the most. She even said that she wanted Fourth Sister to marry a good man as a female official. What a pity, what a pity... Woo woo..."

The emperor's scalp was numbed by her crying, and he immediately realized that Xie Yuzhen had unilaterally broken the agreement on the matters he had discussed with her before.

Not only did she break the contract, but she also wanted me to hand over such an important thing to her.

Although it doesn't mean that a woman cannot become a concubine as long as she becomes a female official, but... the situation is special. As long as Fourth Miss Deng becomes Xie Yuzhen's female official, she will definitely not become his concubine.

The emperor knew clearly what Xie Yuzhen was thinking without saying it out loud, but he also knew that Xie Yuzhen's action was not motivated by the so-called woman's jealousy, which is the most common and prejudiced belief in the world.

This woman - she wants to control herself, wants to control the mind of an emperor, it is already obvious.

But what can the emperor do?

He found that he could no longer feel the slightest bit of displeasure at Xie Yuzhen's behavior, which could be said to be the most disobedient and disrespectful. On the contrary, he was actually a little happy.

The emperor tried hard to restrain his urge to agree.

Xie Yuzhen wiped her tears while looking at his expression.

She's gambling.

The Emperor of Gambles, how far can he give in for the fact that he thinks he loves her but in fact it is all just a false obsession born out of his desire for self-satisfaction.

To what extent can I exploit you!
