Professional Ethics of a Concubine

"What did you call me? Your Majesty? Do you know who I am?" Xie Wenyuan looked at him with a smile, his tone gentle.

Li Anping, who was standing next to him, was also stunned by his calling him "Emperor".

Does this person have other intentions or is he mentally ill?

After a while, Chen Yuankai's brain, which had been confused by the incense, finally started to work again.

He looked at Xie Wenyuan, who looked much younger than him, and almost thought he was still dreaming.

Chen Yuankai crawled forward on his knees twice, then bravely touched the back of Xie Wenyuan's hand.

Hot.

Xie Wenyuan,...

Chen Yuankai was very surprised and excited, and shouted in disbelief,

"Your Highness, you are not dead? You are really not dead! This is great!"

"It seems that you really know who I am, but how come I didn't know that I have such a loyal subordinate like you."

Xie Wenyuan said with a puzzled look,

"I shouldn't forget that you called me the emperor's loyal subject so easily."

Chen Yuankai's face suddenly turned red, and he tried to explain with a stammer, but he couldn't explain clearly.

"Then tell me, what is your name? What did you do in Dazhao before, and why did you come to Shangjing?" Xie Wenyuan asked again.

Chen Yuankai stated his name and hometown, that he was a distant branch of the Chen family, how he was tortured by Xie Jin's men, and how he fled to Shangjing, the capital of Chu.

"So you are a member of the Chen family. You and Xie Jin still have a grudge against each other. You are indeed from the same boat." Xie Wenyuan stopped making things difficult for him and explained considerately,

"Two days ago, Anping met you and said you were suspicious. He also found out that you were from Da Zhao. Out of caution, he tied you up and wanted to see if you were a friend or an enemy. After all, I faked my death and fled here, so I couldn't expose my identity."

"No, my humble servant, I understand. Three days ago, I ran into Mr. Li, Mr. Li, and I thought I had seen it wrong.

That must have alerted Lord Li. Lord Li is as cautious and alert as ever, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people. With him by your side, everyone feels more at ease. "

As soon as Chen Yuankai opened his mouth, he showered Li Anping with compliments.

After all, I'm used to taking pictures.

In his previous life, after Xie Wenyuan ascended the throne, Li Anping served as the chief eunuch of the palace and was the most popular person around Xie Wenyuan. Everyone who saw him had to curry favor with him.

Li Anping,

This kid is quite good at talking.

Is it necessary to kowtow to a slave like him?

Xie Wenyuan just laughed and became more curious about Chen Yuankai.

He was sure he had never seen this person before, but he seemed very familiar and loyal to him, and even seemed to be somewhat flattering towards Li Anping.

Moreover, Xie Jin said sarcastically that they were destined to be together and asked him to take good care of each other.

Thinking of this, Xie Wenyuan bent down and pulled Chen Yuankai up from the ground, sighing,

"Stand up and talk. I have fallen into this situation, living in a foreign country, and I can still meet someone who is so loyal to me. God has been kind to me."

"Wuwuwu... Your Highness, please don't say that. That villain Xie Jin was able to gain the upper hand this time because he had the help of that enchantress Ye Qingzhi. He forced Your Highness to fake his own death to escape!"

Chen Yuankai was helped up and comforted by the monarch in his heart. His long-anxious heart suddenly felt at ease and he began to cry with excitement.

Some information was revealed between the words.

Because Chen Yuankai could never have imagined that the two people who had fought each other to the death in their previous life had become brothers working together in this life.

Upon hearing this, Xie Wenyuan became more excited. He felt like he had picked up a great treasure and there seemed to be many secrets to be uncovered.

he likes!

"What do you mean by gaining the upper hand and getting help from a witch?!"

Xie Wenyuan also expressed his excitement at the right time. This time, he asked him to sit down and let Li Anping pour him some tea. He said angrily,

"You're right. That thief Xie Jin gave me a very strange feeling, as if he knew everything. He suppressed me and I had no power to fight back.

Moreover, Father and Prince Su believed some of his lies, which is really hateful!"

As he spoke, Xie Wenyuan slapped the table hard.

Bang!

Ouch, my hand hurts.

Some of them have been performed!

Xie Wenyuan took his hand down with a stern face, put it on his leg honestly, and then said,

"If you really know any inside information, you must tell me. I will definitely kill that villain Xie Jin and take back the throne that belongs to me. When the time comes, I will let you be the Prime Minister."

The word "prime minister" made Chen Yuankai break down his defenses. He immediately burst into tears and knelt down again, confessing,

"Wuwuwu... Your Majesty, I, I am your Prime Minister!

God has allowed me to live again, so that I can help Your Majesty regain the throne that belongs to you. Xie Jin and Ye Qingzhi, this pair of evil men and evil women, must not die a good death. "

"..."Xie Wenyuan.

No, is this guy a lunatic, or is he really something?

I have never seen anyone who is so good at taking advantage of others. Moreover, he said that he was living his life over again.

I feel like I can deceive people even more than him.

Xie Wenyuan turned his head to look at Li Anping and asked for his opinion. Li Anping also shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand either.

"What do you mean by living again?" Xie Wenyuan asked directly.

"What I am going to say next may make Your Majesty..."

Xie Wenyuan raised his hand to interrupt him and said with a sullen face, "Don't call me the emperor yet, call me master."

Hearing the words "Your Majesty, Your Majesty" sounded like a curse on him, making him feel uneasy.

"...Master." Chen Yuankai called out, paused, and then continued,

“Master, just three months ago, I was beaten unconscious. When I woke up again, I had a new memory in my mind.

I was confused for a long time at the time, and finally thought that the extra memory was from my previous life.

The Buddha talked about past lives, present lives, fate, and reincarnation. I didn’t believe it before, but after experiencing it myself, I believed it.

Moreover, it is not only my subordinates who have had such an experience. Ye Qingzhi and Ye Yingxue, the two sisters, had already been reborn, a year earlier than me!

Originally, my subordinate had an engagement with Ye Qingzhi. After Ye Yingxue was reborn, she learned that I would be able to hold a high position in the future, so she designed a marriage change, where she and my subordinate got married, and Ye Qingzhi entered the Marquis' Mansion as a concubine.

However, Ye Qingzhi was also reborn, and she was like a vicious serpent lurking in the dark.

She knew that Xie Jin was actually a prince, so she happily entered the Marquis's mansion, and used Xie Jin's power to suppress his subordinates, not only causing them to fail in the imperial examinations, but also having them tortured all the time! "

"...Then why did Ye Qingzhi want to retaliate against you like this? Aren't you her husband in her previous life? Compared to being a concubine in the marquis's mansion, it is better to be the wife of the Prime Minister." Xie Wenyuan asked.

How could it still be like this? !

It's an eye-opener.

Chen Yuankai choked when asked, and his resentment was cut off. He said in a stammering voice that Ye Qingzhi had resentment and misunderstanding towards him in her previous life, so she wanted to take revenge on him.

"What grudge?" Xie Wenyuan was gossipy and asked to the end.

Chen Yuankai had no choice but to tell Ye Qingzhi that she couldn't have children, and that he had a son from a mistress. He lied to her that the son was a descendant of a side branch of the family, so he adopted the son under Ye Qingzhi's name and raised him as his legitimate son.

Later, Ye Qingzhi learned the truth, and the mother and son turned against each other. Ye Qingzhi wanted to expel her son from the family tree, but was killed by poison.

"A foster mother is also a mother. Your son took advantage of her and finally killed her with poison. Don't you know that? It's not unfair for him to be retaliated against for doing such a thing." Xie Wenyuan sighed and looked at him coldly.

Chen Yuankai, ...

It’s over, it’s over. I’ve made His Highness angry.

How could he forget that the mother-son relationship is particularly likely to touch His Highness's sore spot.

"Where is Ye Yingxue now? After the marriage exchange, did she regret marrying you?" Xie Wenyuan did not insist and continued to ask.

Chen Yuankai didn't want to talk about this, but, being stared at by Xie Wenyuan, he could only briefly talk about Ye Yingxue's situation.

"She did regret it. She died early in her previous life and didn't know that Xie Jin was a prince. When she saw Ye Qingzhi being favored and becoming the prince's concubine, she almost went crazy.

She divorced Wei Chen less than a month after marrying him, and became a concubine to the governor of Yangzhou. She was then arrested for committing adultery with her stepson.

But because of her family's status, the Yangzhou prefect locked her up and didn't kill her or make it public."

"..."Xie Wenyuan.

Are you sure she's reborn?

There were too many complaints, and Xie Wenyuan was too lazy to comment. He then asked,

"From what you said, I was the emperor in my previous life, but what about Xie Jin? I didn't kill him, so he wouldn't rebel, would he?"

Chen Yuankai perked up, thinking to himself, Your Highness, you have finally asked the point!

"Your Highness, you guessed correctly. Your Highness was lenient towards Xie Jin and did not kill him.

However, Xie Jin, that villain, took advantage of the invasion of Dayan and the fact that both sides were suffering, and led the army of Gulan to reap the harvest, forcing Dayan to retreat and forcing our army of Great Zhao to surrender, and incorporated those remnants into his command..."

"Wait, why can he lead the army of Gulan?" Xie Wenyuan asked.

"Because the Queen of Gulan is his aunt, she dotes on him very much and it is said that she even wants to pass the throne to him." Chen Yuankai said angrily.

"You are jealous." Xie Wenyuan said, "Look how anxious you are."

Chen Yuankai, ...

Your Highness, why is your focus always so biased!

"Alas, I am jealous too. Xie Jin actually has such a strong connection. He also had Ye Qingzhi's help this time, so he got the upper hand in advance."

Xie Wenyuan kept on talking.

"Your Highness, Ye Qingzhi only knows some important court affairs, but I know more. With me here, we will definitely be able to turn the tide!"

Chen Yuankai said quickly.

Xie Wenyuan nodded at him perfunctorily, touching his chin, still looking thoughtful.

This time, Xie Jin had everything going for him, which was quite different from his previous life. Could it be that he had done a lot of good deeds in his previous life, and I was so bad?

"Tell me the truth. After I become the emperor, can the government be stable? How are people's livelihood? If Dayan invades, who will lead the army to resist? Will it be Prince Su? Is it possible to resist Dayan's army?"

“…Because His Highness always wants to implement new policies, the ministers in the court always oppose it, which makes His Highness very angry, and the government…is not stable.

The people's livelihood is not bad, and Your Highness loves the people. He has reduced taxes. It is the big clans below that oppress the people.

When Dayan invaded, Prince Su had already died, and it was the Chen family's master who led the army. At the beginning, they were always defeated and lost two cities, but later they managed to resist..."

"Okay, stop talking!" Xie Wenyuan interrupted him, already understanding everything.

Given his bad character, even if he became emperor, he would still ruin his ancestors' country.

It seems that he really lacked virtue in his previous life.

Perhaps if Xie Jin had not borrowed the army of Gulan to resist Dayan, the Great Zhao would have been destroyed.

"What happened next? Did Xie Jin attack the imperial city, kill me, and become the emperor?" Xie Wenyuan asked again.
