Yi Xin as a concubine

After the meal, the three of them walked slowly in the garden to digest their food. They didn't seem to get close to anyone, but they always kept a distance from others.

I stopped and walked along the way and heard some useful information.

Only when the voices around them became fewer and fewer did the three of them return to their rooms.

As soon as Xin Baoer returned to the room, Xiangcao bowed to her respectfully.

"Miss, the hot water is ready. You can wash up at any time. Do you want me to serve you?" Vanilla had a very serious attitude. She didn't dare to act on her own in front of this temporary master.

"Well, I'm just tired, so you can serve me." Xin Baoer glanced at Xiangcao who lowered her head with an unclear look.

"Yes, I will prepare pajamas for the young lady." It was another respectful and formulaic answer.

Xin Baoer saw Vanilla busying herself in the bathroom, then she sat down in front of the dressing mirror. She looked at the person in the mirror who was much more beautiful than in her previous life, and sighed.

"Alas, it is obviously pleasing to the eye, but it adds so much trouble. I would be reluctant to destroy it!"

While saying that he was reluctant, he unbuttoned his clothes, revealing his body as white as jade. He took out a wax ball from somewhere, crushed it with a little force, and randomly dropped a few drops of brown medicine wrapped in the wax ball on the exposed skin.

"Ah!" A roar so low that it was almost inaudible came out from Xin Baoer's small cherry lips, but it did not stir up a trace of dust.

After a few breaths, Xin Baoer wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, put on her clothes as if nothing had happened, slowly took off her hairpins, and let her hair down.

"Girl, everything is ready, please go into the bathroom!" Vanilla's formulaic voice came through the bathroom screen.

"Okay." Xin Baoer responded, wearing only a white cotton shirt, and walked into the bathroom step by step, neither hurried nor slow.

"what!"

Soon, a short, terrified scream was heard.

"If you want to die, keep shouting!" Xin Baoer covered the little palace maid's mouth with her hand and whispered threateningly.

Vanilla's eyes were wide open with fear. After hearing Xin Baoer's scolding, tears fell without warning. She weakly pulled at the arm that was covering her mouth with her hands and nodded frantically. She looked a little pitiful.

Xin Baoer felt a little bit sorry for what she saw, as it was so much like herself when she was bullied!

Tears fell on the back of her hand. Xin Baoer pulled her hand back abruptly as if she was scalded. Because she pulled her hand back too quickly, Vanilla fell forward and almost fell to the ground.

Just like that, Xin Baoer woke up from her past thoughts.

"Help me take a bath." He took off his clothes and sat in the bathtub.

"Yes." Vanilla stumbled to the bathtub, but her eyes would secretly glance at Xin Baoer's body hidden under the water from time to time, as if she was confirming something.

Xin Baoer took all of this in and said casually, "Once you leave this door, it's better to forget what you should forget."

Vanilla was stunned for a moment, then she showed great fear and replied tremblingly: "Yes, I will remember it."

After washing up, Xin Baoer lay on the bed, thinking about random things, and soon fell asleep.

The singing and chirping in the entire Chuxiu Palace gradually died down as the night deepened, and the girls, whether they were excited, worried, or indifferent, fell asleep one after another.

Under the same starry sky, many wealthy families keep their lights on all night long.

Some families attached to the prince are trembling with fear, not knowing what to do; some families attached to several other princes have already begun to get restless, just waiting for the news of the prince's illness to come out so that they can start suppressing the prince's power and seek more benefits for the princes they support; there are also some wavering families, considering whether to take the next step.

"How is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Why is there no news from the palace yet?" This is the concern of the Crown Prince's mother's family.

The prince's maternal family, the Hua family, is also an old-established aristocratic family. Their ancestral home is Qingzhou Prefecture, which is relatively close to the north. The main branch in Shengjing City was also very prosperous at the time. The highest-ranking old man was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, a second-rank official. They were the country's purse and provided a lot of help to Emperor Ning in seizing the throne.

Originally, there was a mistress of the harem in the palace, who was also the biological mother of the prince. They should have received the news first, but the fact was that they had not had any contact with the queen for ten years.

It must be said that Empress Hua was a woman with some personality. When Emperor Ning was still in his palace, as the eldest lady of the mansion, Hua was very diligent and conscientious. Not only did she manage the rear house in an orderly manner, she also developed and expanded the family industry, helping her husband earn a lot of money to raise private soldiers.

Emperor Ning also respected and relied on his wife very much. He consulted her on everything and occasionally adopted her opinions, treating her as another of his own aides.

As a woman, she participated in the planning of national affairs and enjoyed great glory for a time.

"When the daughter-in-law is married into the house, the matchmaker is thrown over the wall!"

Hua never imagined that her husband, whom she had devoted her whole heart and supported till her death, would treat her like an object and put her aside without any sympathy after the big things were settled.

After that, she frequently favored new people, and because of overwork, her face became old, and her body could not bear the burden. She lingered in the harem every day. Even her own flesh and blood were not close to her because of her neglect over the years.

Because of the protection of the Hua family and his own prestige, no one dared to provoke him in the harem. He watched coldly as the new emperor became more and more absurd and the whole court became more and more chaotic. He became more and more disheartened and no longer had the intention to advise anyone. He just spent his days guarding the Buddhist temple in the courtyard.

She had been worshiping Buddha and chanting sutras for ten years, ignoring worldly affairs, so the Hua family had no way of getting any useful information through her. And with her in the harem, the Hua family did not dare to send their girls to the palace.

Originally, the prince was relatively close to his mother’s family, but now that he has fallen, there is no one left to deliver news to them.

The Hua family and the Prince's Mansion are closely connected, and everyone in the Hua family is destined to have a sleepless night.

The Crown Princess's family also had the same concerns as the Hua family.

The Crown Princess' maiden name is Wu, and her family is also from a family of military generals. The head of the family and several adult men are all leading troops outside. Now, there is not a single capable person in the family, young or old, women or children. Although they have received some news from the Crown Princess, no one has made plans or worked for them. Instead, they were so scared that they closed their doors and cut off contact with the outside world.

The Xin family mansion was quiet, but no one knew that no one was asleep in the main house where the three masters lived.

They were not worried about whether the prince was alive or dead, but they were worried about their Xin family's daughter and two children.

The huge Shengjing city was in turmoil because of the crown prince's serious injury. People were making their own plans, but none of this had anything to do with Xin Baoer who was trapped in a nightmare.

Yes, Xin Bao was dreaming again. In the dream, there were bizarre things and demons dancing wildly. But this time, she did not passively wait for the doom to come. She clearly saw herself holding back the fear, tremblingly raising the giant axe that was bigger than her head, and fiercely chopped it towards the void, and then...

Then she woke up.

I was sweating all over and feeling very uncomfortable. I was just about to go downstairs to drink some tea to calm myself down, but as soon as I moved, I heard a rustling sound caused by the friction of clothes outside.

Xin Baoer was so frightened that she dared not move, but the noise outside was getting louder and louder. Out of curiosity and the instinct of self-preservation, Xin Baoer carefully lifted the wet quilt, stepped onto the ground barefoot, and walked towards the door silently step by step.

The nights in October were still a little chilly. The night wind blew in through the slightly opened window, making the sweat-soaked clothes even colder.

Xin Baoer couldn't help but shiver. At this time, she didn't dare to close the window or find clothes to wear. She could only hug herself tightly and control her body to slowly move closer to the door panel connecting to the outside.

"No...no, the girl...the girl will hear it." The woman's intermittent words were accompanied by suppressed gasps.

"Good vanilla, let me kiss and touch you. I really miss you so much. Don't you miss me?"

The strange male voice carried a hint of lust and deep temptation. An inexperienced woman would probably not be able to resist such enticement.

Xin Baoer was also a young girl with no sense of enlightenment in her previous life, but she could not resist the temptation to skirt the rules in the TV, videos and novels.

Xin Baoer's inner fear had faded a lot, leaving only embarrassment. She was wondering whether she should go back to her bed and make room for these two wild mandarin ducks.

But just as he was about to stand up with his stiff legs, the man's words made her freeze in place, her face full of horror.
