The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile

As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Xiao, who was lying on the mat, slowly opened her eyes, stared at her and said, "How do you know I was pretending to sleep?"

Shang Ruoyi looked at her as if she were an idiot: "I'm a doctor. Just from your breathing, I can tell whether you are pretending to be asleep." Besides, she was the one who knocked Concubine Xiao unconscious with her own hands. She knew best how hard she had hit him.

Concubine Xiao looked around and asked, "Is this a dungeon?"

Shang Ruoyi nodded.

"You want to resort to private punishment? I am the imperial concubine, and I am deeply favored by the emperor. If you dare to touch me, aren't you afraid that the emperor will punish you?"

Shang Ruoyi couldn't help but sneer when she heard this: "Noble Concubine? Favored by the Emperor? Tell me yourself, don't you feel guilty when you say what you just said? Instead of using the status of a noble concubine to pressure me, it's better to use your Xiao family, which still has some weight."

"What exactly do you want?" Her eyes kept looking outside the cell, with some anticipation and some fear.

Knowing what she was thinking, Shang Ruoyi whispered, "Don't think that your brother will come to take you out. Even if you die here today, the only ones who will collect your body will be the guards and servants of our Chengwang Mansion." Looking at her gradually stiffening face, Shang Ruoyi continued, "But you don't have to worry. Even if I want to interrogate you, I will never use those despicable means."

Concubine Xiao felt relieved, but she was still wary as she looked at Shang Ruoyi.

"What do you want to ask?"

"Who is your sect leader?"

Concubine Xiao pondered for a moment and whispered, "If I say I have never seen her, can you believe me?"

It's the same answer again. It seems that this sect leader is really mysterious.

Shang Ruoyi didn't show her emotion, she just smiled faintly: "It's just the Tianyin Sect, what's the mysterious identity of this sect leader that he doesn't even reveal his face, do you think I'm stupid?"

"If you don't believe me, I can't help you. But I have never seen her. Even when she gives orders, they are always passed on by her maids or the great guardians. The only people who can come into contact with her on a daily basis are the guardians and..."

"And He Jinghe."

Concubine Xiao nodded and said, "I only went to Tianyin Sect once when I entered the sect. The rest of the time I stayed at the Xiao family. Whenever there were any orders from the sect, it was the maids who brought the news."

"The order for you to enter the palace was also issued by Tianyin Sect?"

"That's right." Concubine Xiao stepped forward and said softly, "I am sincere to your brother. I really liked him."

"My brother has a handsome face, brilliant literary talent, noble status, and outstanding martial arts. There are countless women who like him. It is normal for you to have a crush on him, but you should never want to keep him hanging after entering the palace. I think this order was not issued by your sect leader, but your own plan!"

Concubine Xiao looked a little unnatural, this was indeed her own plan.

In the Western Regions, Jun Zegan was definitely the man that all the noble ladies in the capital wanted to marry. Many people envied what happened between her and Jun Zegan. She was also secretly delighted and often mentioned Jun Zegan in front of everyone. Seeing their envious and jealous expressions, she felt so happy in her heart.

Including Jun Luoyun, she tried her best to please Jun Zegan, but they had lived under the same roof for many years, but Jun Zegan had never even looked at her. At first, Jun Luoyun hated her so much, but there was nothing she could do.

Just when she was full of confidence that she would marry into the City Prince's Palace, the maid brought back a secret order from the master of the sect, saying that she was to be allowed into the palace. It was not that she did not want to resist, but she did not dare to.

Those who joined the Tianyin Sect would take a poisonous insect during the initiation ceremony. If there was any betrayal, the sect members would activate the poison and they would be killed instantly. She had seen with her own eyes the fate of a maid who disobeyed orders, and her miserable appearance still frightened her to this day.

She was reluctant to enter the palace, but there was no other way. After entering the palace, she seldom saw Jun Zeqian. In addition, she wanted to find a way to gain the favor of the Emperor of the Western Regions, so she focused all her attention on palace fighting. There were many women in the harem. The queen was the master's confidant. Although she had outstanding looks, even a fairy would get bored after looking at the same face for so many years. What's more, there were so many women in the harem. If she wanted to gain the emperor's favor alone, she could only use poison.

She controlled the emperor and empress of the Western Regions, and her position was repeatedly raised. When she became a noble concubine, He Jinghe came to the Western Regions to become a heavenly master, and it was at this time that she became involved with He Jinghe.

But she never felt that she had done anything wrong. The Emperor of the Western Regions was an old man, and she had poisoned him, so his body had long been hollowed out and he didn't have many years left to live. The Queen was the sect master's disciple and had the Crown Prince by her side, so even if the Emperor of the Western Regions died, she would have a way out, at least she would not be buried with him.

The royal family of the Western Regions has an unwritten rule that after the emperor passes away, all concubines in the harem who have no children will be sent to the imperial mausoleum to be buried with him. If she has no one to rely on, she might end up being buried with him.

But if she followed He Jinghe, it would be different. He was the young master of the sect. As long as he nodded, who would dare to let her be buried with him?

If a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. She is just looking for a way out for herself. What's wrong with that?

But He Jinghe's appearance cannot be compared with Jun Zeqian. If it were not for her life and power, she would not have given herself to him.

"I really like A-Qian."

Shang Ruoyi almost laughed out loud when she heard this: "You like my brother? Don't disgust me here."

"Really! I'm only with other people as a temporary solution. I just want to run away with him when everything is over."

Shang Ruoyi smiled and said softly, "I don't know who said that if I unify the world one day, I will have to share the world with that young master. My brother can't give you the world. Will you choose him or the world?"

Concubine Xiao was stunned. It turned out that she heard everything.

"Nothing to say?" Shang Ruoyi sneered and said, "Let me ask you again, what is the relationship between He Jinghe and that sect leader?"

Concubine Xiao pondered for a moment and said softly, "The leader of Tianyin Sect is his grandmother."

what?

grandmother?

Shang Ruoyi stood still. What grandmother?

Where did the grandmother come from?

"Elaborate."

"I'm not very clear about the details. I heard about this relationship from He Jinghe, but..." She looked at Shang Ruoyi, as if she had made some kind of decision, and said in a deep voice: "There is one thing I want to tell you. Can you let me go?"

Hearing her say this, Shang Ruoyi couldn't help but feel curious: "If what you said is something crucial, I can consider letting you go."

"I know a secret of Tianyin Sect that will surely interest you, but you must swear to let me go. If you break your oath, you will die a miserable death."
