Yi Xin as a concubine

The prince's condition has stabilized. The injuries on his face and legs were sentenced to death by the imperial physician. The prince, who had been furious since he woke up, seemed to have accepted the reality and become listless in recent days.

Every day, he would only perk up a little when Concubine Xi and her two children came. He would not see any other concubines. Even the Crown Princess was only allowed to come in, take a look, say a few words, and then be politely asked to leave.

This made the Crown Princess extremely angry. As the Emperor's Birthday was getting closer, she still hadn't had the chance to talk to the Crown Prince about the Shoushan Stone. Thinking of her son, she immediately perked up, going to the Crown Prince's bedroom diligently, making him drink soup today and water tomorrow.

But he still couldn't resist the prince's words: "Just let Huang'er accompany me!

This forced her to use her power as the Crown Princess to suppress Concubine Xi everywhere so that she had no time to bother the Crown Prince.

Concubine Xi was not annoyed or making a fuss when she was bullied. She just brought one of her sisters with her when she went to see the prince every day, and every time she came out, that sister would be kept by the prince.

After a few days, all the beauties in the prince's harem united together, and the crown princess became the isolated one.

The Crown Princess, who was always impulsive and had little brains, put all her thoughts on dealing with the concubines and forgot about her son's instructions for a while.

Ning Ye had always been arrogant. He always disdained the petty jealousies among women and never asked much. He just went back and forth between the military camp outside the city and the emperor, constantly improving his future.

By the time he finally remembered this, it was too late. Of course, this is a story for later.

Although the emperor has not issued an edict to depose the crown prince, the imperial physicians are already at a loss. In the past few days, many civilian doctors have been coming in and out of the East Palace, and there has been no news of any doctor being kept. Obviously, this is of no use. The scars on his face may be removed by finding a magic medicine to remove them later, but the leg injury cannot wait. Once the treatment time is exceeded, it will be difficult to recover.

It has been nearly a month since the prince was injured. I'm afraid that even if the mysterious medical saint of the Holy Mountain comes out, he will be powerless to save him.

As if the dust had settled, the tense and yet slightly exciting atmosphere in the court, the harem, the temple and the people suddenly relaxed.

What is obvious is that in the harem one can hear the sounds of stringed instruments full of intoxication and lust, which ring until midnight every night, making it difficult for people to fall asleep.

Chuxiu Palace is the place with the largest number of women in this corner of the harem, and these women's natures have not been smoothed over by the dogmas in the palace. They all have the most natural colors and exude the most alluring fragrance.

For three consecutive days, Chuxiu Palace was extremely bustling. The girls were all very excited. Some put on rouge and powder, posed coquettishly, and frequently appeared at the junction of the inner and outer gates, while others closed their doors tightly and dared not go out.

The reason was simple: three days ago, because the Crown Prince was injured and the Emperor had been silent for several days, on a whim, he ordered his personal eunuch Qiu He to go to the Chuxiu Palace to select two fresh women for him. As a result, the news came back the next day that the two women were both conferred the title of beauties.

Xin Baoer had been recuperating in the house for the past few days and had not gone out. Lianrong told her all these things when she came back.

Don't be fooled by this girl's young age and small stature, she is really good at dealing with people. With Xin Baoer's money, she is like a fish in water in Chuxiu Palace and even in the harem, and she brings back a lot of useful information for Xin Baoer.

From the bits and pieces of information that Xiao Lianrong had heard from various places, Xin Baoer easily pieced together the current state of the harem.

It has to be said that this result really shocked Xin Baoer.

This is not the emperor's harem at all; it would be an exaggeration to call it a den of prostitution.

She had no idea that in this feudal society, the place where imperial power was concentrated, could have become so corrupt.

I read in a book before that there were three thousand beauties in the harem, but in reality there were only a few hundred at most. But now, under the reign of Emperor Ning, there are more than three thousand beauties in the harem, probably as many as four thousand.

In the palace, from teenagers to old maids in their twenties and thirties, as long as they are slightly pretty, few of them are still virgins.

It is absolutely impossible that the old emperor in his sixties was responsible for this result. If they really investigate, it is estimated that few of the inner court guards in the harem are innocent, and even the eunuchs are ready to make moves.

If she entered such a dirty place, how could she, a weak woman with no ability to protect herself, stay safe?

"Little Lianrong, don't keep asking. You are still so young, it's better to forget about these dirty and rotten things, otherwise you won't grow up."

Xin Baoer rubbed Lianrong's little ears, seeming to be joking but also distressed.

"Miss, this is nothing. I have seen it many times with my own eyes. I have even guarded the door for them. I will not tell you the whole process, so as not to pollute your ears."

When Lianrong said this, her face was not red and she was not out of breath, as if she was used to it.

Forced to grow up, it is never a comfortable home, but a complex, ever-changing, and precarious growth environment.

"By the way, young lady, the Duanmu family you asked me to inquire about, is that the Duanmu from the Crown Princess's family?"

"Yes, any news?"

"There is a centurion in the inner guards. His last name is Duanmu, and his name is Duanmu Yuan. He is a bastard of the Duanmu family. Because of his status, he is very popular among the women and maids in the harem. He can always bring in these rare little items from outside to please them. From what I have seen, there are at least four people who have close relationships with him. No, five people. There must be more people that I don't know about. The one who served you before is one of them."

The little girl raised her chin with a look of disdain, as if the person she was talking to was an annoying thing like a stink bug.

"The Duanmu family is very powerful?"

"Of course, he is the person His Majesty trusts the most. The army guarding the imperial city is in the hands of the Duanmu family."

When her original body was still alive, she really didn't care about worldly affairs. She didn't have much time to travel through time, and half of it was spent recuperating and in a daze. If she hadn't come to this day, she probably wouldn't want to understand these people and things that she might never see or touch in her entire life.

She is now somewhat grateful to the person who hurt the prince, otherwise, with the Crown Princess's malice towards her, she would not have been able to lead a peaceful life now.

"Girl, I ran into Aunt Yu when I went out today. She chatted with me for a while, but I felt that she had something else in her words."

Lian Rong's chubby little head suddenly came close to Xin Bao'er's ear and she said in a low voice, "She said that there have been some cats and dogs jumping around lately. She was afraid that they were in heat. She also asked me to close the doors and windows tightly when I go to bed at night to prevent those little beasts from disturbing the girl's rest."

Xin Baoer's eyes widened when she heard this. Although cats and dogs do enter their estrus period from September to November, where did all those cats and dogs come from in the deep palace?

"Lianrong, how about this? Go and call Zhao Xian and Wei Yu over to me, and tell them that I want to invite them to dinner tonight."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Lianrong moved her short legs quickly and ran away with a clattering sound.

Xin Baoer sat on the chaise longue, staring at the scenery outside the window in a daze.

After being silent for more than ten days, the Chuxiu Palace finally started to move. It was good to start moving, as only by starting to move could we find opportunities and come up with solutions.

Another person who had the same idea as her was Chu Xingchen, who was trapped in the mansion.

"How's the situation in the palace?"

"My Lord, the girl...the girl...her face is disfigured."

After the man in black said this, he knelt down with a thud.

It’s impossible not to kneel down!

At that moment, he felt all the hairs on his body stand up and he felt like shivering from the cold.

"Get up, and tell me what's going on."

As the words fell, the air suddenly warmed up, as if the cold air just now was just a dream.

"It was said to be an accident, but the girl took the opportunity to get rid of the people that the Crown Princess had planted around her. Now the people around her are safe. The girl used her very well and found out a lot about the palace."

"Are there any hidden dangers around her?"

"That person said that the girl is very smart and that the people around her can't do anything to her. Apart from saying a few sour words, they can't do anything."

"In addition, there is news that the little beasts in various parts of the palace have started to move again. Chuxiu Palace will not have to wait too long and should also start to move."

"It's better to move. Only by moving can we find opportunities."

Chu Xingchen said thoughtfully.

"Cousin, the Qiang Kingdom in the north is invading with great force. General Xu has already sent troops to meet the enemy."

Mo Xuan Yifan came back from nowhere, looking dusty and his tone was unusually anxious.
