After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

"Hey, who are you? Can you soak in this hot spring too?" Yuzhi hurriedly ran over and grabbed her.

The woman looked at Yuzhi arrogantly, then looked at Shen Yunjin and the others.

"Who are you? This hot spring is not for people like you to soak in."

"Okay, see that small pond, get a bucket and carry it back to wash." She raised her chin to indicate.

"You are blind. This is Concubine Shen, and you are not paying homage!" Jinzhi scolded.

The woman looked at Shen Yunjin suspiciously and saw that she was dressed elegantly and was looking at her with a sneer on her face.

"You're not a liar, are you? Don't think you're the prince's man just because you're dressed better. Be careful or I'll tell the prince and chop off your head."

Shen Yunjin sneered in her heart. Haha, did they treat her as a soft persimmon? Just someone came out and wanted to chop off her head?

"Jinzhi, tie her up and take her back to Uncle Zhong."

"Humph, you know Uncle Zhong, no wonder you are so arrogant! Uncle Zhong is just a village head, he can't be the master of the prince!"

The woman was very arrogant. She pushed away Jinzhi who was trying to tie her up.

When Yuzhi saw this, she hurried forward to help, and the two of them worked together to tie the woman up.

"I will tell the prince that you lowly people will suffer the consequences!" The woman looked at Shen Yunjin hatefully.

"Pa!" Shen Yunjin slapped him.

"In that case, I will accompany you to the prince to file a complaint!" Shen Yunjin said the last two words heavily.

She didn't want to alarm Xiao Minshen, but the woman kept shouting "Prince". If this woman really had some relationship with the King of Qi, she would not be able to explain it even if she had a mouthful.

The woman couldn't help but shudder when she saw Shen Yunjin's calm and composed look.

Then she remembered something and straightened up.

Xiao Minshen dealt with the recent pile of affairs and then thought over the events of the past few days over and over again.

The excessive blood loss from the injury made him quite tired. He was woken up just after he fell asleep, and he was very unhappy.

He looked coldly at the people who entered the room.

"Your Majesty, your servant greets you." Shen Yunjin stepped forward and bowed without saying anything.

"Come here." Xiao Minshen ordered.

Shen Yunjin lowered her head, looking at the pattern on the hem of her skirt, without moving.

"Your Majesty, the master originally wanted to go to the hot springs tonight, but this woman spoke rudely and threatened to have you chop off the master's head."

Jinzhi knelt on the ground to complain, and the woman kneeling beside her started trembling since she entered the room.

Xiao Minshen narrowed his eyes and stared at the woman on the ground, "Someone, drag her out and beat her to death."

The woman kneeling on the ground kowtowed in fear, "Your Majesty, I am Huarong! Your Majesty, don't you remember me?"

Xiao Minshen saw Shen Yunjin looking at him inquiringly, and he raised his voice, "Is everyone dead?"

The guard flashed in from outside the door, grabbed the woman on the ground and prepared to leave.

Uncle Zhong rushed in from outside the door after hearing the news, "My Lord, please show mercy!"

"Your Highness, Hua Rong is from the village chief's family. She was the one who served you the last time you came to recuperate."

Xiao Minshen stared at Hua Rong who was kowtowing and begging for mercy on the ground, and it seemed that this was the case.

But there are so many people serving me. If everyone who has served me can take their life at will, how can I accept it?

"You are so shameless and want to be beaten to death. Don't make me say it again!"

Xiao Minshen's sinister words made Hua Rong, who was crying and begging for mercy on the ground, stop crying.

She turned around and stared at Shen Yunjin resentfully, "It's all because of you, vixen. If you hadn't bewitched the prince's heart, how could he be so cold to me? I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"

Hua Rong said this with gritted teeth, her voice carrying a hint of coldness and despair, as if she wanted to vent all her hatred on Shen Yunjin.

Shen Yunjin walked over, bent down, grabbed Huarong's chin, and slapped her.

"I am the concubine appointed by the Emperor to the prince. Who do you think you are? How dare you compare yourself to me?"

Hua Rong then realized that the woman in front of her was really the King of Qi's concubine, and not the seductive woman she had imagined.

She began to regret that if she had known that she was a concubine, she would not have dared to say those words even if she had a hundred times the courage.

Unfortunately, it's all too late.

"Come here!" Xiao Minshen stared at Shen Yunjin unhappily.

Shen Yunjin secretly curled his lips and moved over to sit down beside the bed.

"Are you angry? Next time you encounter something like this, just kill him. There's no need to get angry. You'll end up ruining your health if you do."

"How do I know who she is? If I offend her, won't it cause trouble for His Majesty?"

"You are my concubine. If anyone dares to bully you, it means that they don't take me seriously. Such people will be killed without mercy!"

"Don't worry. If anything goes wrong, I will take care of it for you."

Xiao Minshen knew that she, the concubine, was talented and intelligent, but too cautious, which might be related to her living environment since childhood.

Occasionally, his extraordinary behavior would make him look at him in a new light.

He frowned. He needed to grow up, and his concubine also needed to grow up.

As a member of the royal family, if you keep giving in, you will be eaten by others until not even a bone is left.

"Will it really not cause any trouble to the prince?" Shen Yunjin asked.

She was brought up by Aunt Li since she was a child, and her personality is very much like Aunt Li, cautious and not competitive.

She originally wanted to live a leisurely life with simple meals, but later, in order to win her husband's favor, she had to associate with famous ladies.

Even if she was reborn, she was still the cautious Shen Yunjin from her previous life.

Her hatred is only directed at those who have hurt her, and she has no desire to take revenge on the whole world.

Her principle in life has always been "I won't offend others unless they offend me."

Xiao Minshen held Shen Yunjin's hand. Her fingers were slender, with a thin layer of calluses on the middle finger joints. He couldn't help but pinch them.

"Do you know who is going to kill me this time?"

Shen Yunjin shook her head worriedly, and Xiao Minshen took her into his arms.

"You also know that my mother was just a palace maid. One time, my father got drunk and favored my mother, and then I was born."

"After my mother gave birth to me, she lived in fear all day, fearing that I would die one day."

"Speaking of which, you and her are very similar in character. I still remember the family banquet when I was three years old. Because of my outstanding performance, my father rewarded me with a top-quality inkstone. My second brother came to ask for it, and I cried and begged my mother. In the end, my mother gave it to my second brother."

"Afterwards, she hugged me and cried, saying that these were external possessions and being alive was better than anything else."

"At that time, I didn't understand. They are both my father's children, so why should I give in again and again?"

"I don't want to give in. I study hard and try my best to prove that I am no worse than any of my brothers."

"Later, the Grand Tutor praised me, and even my father often tested me on my studies, and even discussed some court affairs with me."

"I was so proud at the time, thinking I had done it. Until one day..."
