A concubine? You're more like a joke. I'd rather send you to your death.

He wondered when he would be able to live some peaceful days; he was utterly fed up with this fighting.

"Your Highness, please wait. Her Majesty the Empress means well. If you really don't like it, why not give it to me? I happen to need some people to test the medicine."

The Empress did it on purpose. If Gu Yanchi accepted the gift, he would be monitored; if he didn't, he would be disobeying the imperial decree.

These five concubines were probably carefully trained by the Empress to be spies. Since she was in a dilemma, she wanted to research some poisons and needed people to test them.

It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early; it's perfect timing for her to use.

"Luo'er, these people are all the Empress's confidants. There must be some of them who know martial arts. It's too dangerous for them to stay by your side."

Gu Yanchi was afraid that these five people would hurt Bai Luoluo, since she was in great danger without internal energy in front of true masters.

"I have Leng Ye by my side. These past few days I've wanted to research poisons, but what I lacked were test subjects. If these people aren't bad, I naturally won't take their lives."

The drug trials need to be repeated. After being poisoned, she is detoxifying, so it won't be fatal.

"Luo'er, come with me to take a look."

Gu Yanchi wanted to check if the five people were skilled in martial arts first, so he could ensure Bai Luoluo's safety.

"Very well, I also want to see what kind of stunning beauty she is. In fact, if Your Highness likes her, you can keep her to warm your bed."

"Luo'er, please don't joke. I am a virtuous woman, and I will definitely give this pure body to the future princess."

After Gu Yanchi finished speaking, his ears turned slightly red, and he turned to walk out.

It turns out it's a.........

What a treasure of a pure-hearted young man!

Bai Luoluo found it hard to believe, after all, in ancient times, there were always concubines or something similar, and palace maids were trained early on to pass on their experience to the princes.

This applies to both TV dramas and novels.

........

At the gate of the palace.

The leader was a eunuch in his forties, followed by two younger eunuchs.

Gu Yanchi and Bai Luoluo arrived slowly.

"Prince of Xiling, receive the imperial decree!"

The head eunuch spoke directly.

He was the Empress's personal eunuch, so naturally he had no respect for Gu Yanchi whatsoever.

"This eunuch came up and accepted the imperial decree right away; if I didn't know better, I'd think he was the emperor!"

Bai Luoluo spoke in an unfriendly tone and slowly walked to stand beside Gu Yanchi.

what the hell.

A eunuch who is neither male nor female dares to be so arrogant. Look at his haughty appearance, he is getting uglier and uglier the more you look at him.

"So it's Miss Bai. This old servant dares not overstep my bounds."

However, I advise you not to stop this old servant from reading the imperial decree. Her Majesty the Empress values ​​the Prince of Xiling, and some people don't understand the rules and won't serve him well.

What an arrogant eunuch.

Bai Luoluo sneered, "This young lady is the emperor's chosen princess. When adding a new concubine to the manor, we always have to see what kind of person she is. After all, our prince has unique tastes and likes ugly women."

"This old servant is only acting under orders. Miss Bai, please do not make trouble. You are not yet married to the King of Xiling. In name only, you are his fiancée, not his true queen. It has always been common for men to have three wives and four concubines, let alone a king with only one character."

The Empress was right; Bai Luoluo is indeed a difficult person to deal with.

Today's purpose is to sow discord between the two and make Bai Luoluo take the initiative to call off the engagement.

“Father-in-law, please be careful with your words. Luo’er is the princess consort appointed by the Emperor, and the mistress of the royal mansion. All matters, big and small, in the mansion will be decided by the future princess consort.”

Gu Yanchi stood up to support him directly, after all, this eunuch had ill intentions and was probably acting on the Empress's orders.

"It is this old servant who has overstepped his bounds." The head eunuch bowed slightly, then ordered, "Bring up the five concubines so that our future Princess Consort of Xiling may have a look at them."

Seeing Gu Yanchi protecting Bai Luoluo, the head eunuch could tell that Bai Luoluo was of great importance. As someone who worked in the palace, observing people's expressions and moods had long been a daily routine for him.

Although the Empress gave him a signal, he dared not act too rashly.

He had heard that the King of Xiling was ruthless and did not want to lose his life because of this.

Power is a wonderful thing; all her talk was less effective than just two sentences from Gu Yanchi.

Five beauties slowly stepped down from the carriage and walked slowly with small, quick steps.

Each of them had a graceful figure, a straight nose, a tiny waist, and skin so fair it looked like you could pinch water out of it. Their features weren't exactly stunning, but their figures were truly exceptional.

Bai Luoluo couldn't help but envy the men of ancient times; their good fortune with women was truly remarkable.

If she were a man, she might have married several men too.

The beauties were all shy, their eyes half-lowered, but they would occasionally raise their eyes and look alluring.

Her alluring appearance clearly showed that she had been carefully groomed, and Bai Luoluo frowned slightly upon seeing this.

Actually, she still prefers characters with a soul; being trained like this makes them less interesting.

"Your Highness, these five men are quite good-looking and have excellent figures. Don't you really like them?"

Bai Luoluo walked to Gu Yanchi's side and whispered.

Gu Yanchi was furious when he looked at Bai Luoluo with his deep eyes.

This woman is truly heartless; she doesn't get angry, doesn't get jealous, and even eagerly tries to force women onto him. Good, she's really quite something.

That look in her eyes is a bit cold; she seems a little angry.

Bai Luoluo felt a bit cold on her neck.

"Luo'er is truly beautiful inside and out, and she's thinking of me. If Luo'er likes these five people, she can keep them."

Gu Yanchi's tone was unfriendly, with a hint of gritted teeth.

She doesn't like me after all, and I don't care how many women enter the mansion in the future.

"Then stay, but not as a concubine for the prince, but to keep me company."

Bai Luoluo turned and left. She needed to research some poisons to take back with her, in case Zhang the witch didn't come after her again.

With poison in hand, she felt even more confident.

Watching the departing figure, Gu Yanchi's eyes showed a hint of hurt.

They slept together for a night and even kissed, so why doesn't she care at all?

"Steward Wang, take these women to the courtyard closest to the medicinal cuisine room, and leave everything to the Princess's disposal."

After Gu Yanchi finished speaking, he turned and left.

The chief eunuch watched as Gu Yanchi left without his decree being read aloud.

"Your Highness, you have not yet received the imperial decree."

"The person stayed, but my father-in-law was not satisfied."

Gu Yanchi paused, his bloodthirsty killing intent emanating from him directly towards the Grand Eunuch.

"I don't dare, old slave."

The head eunuch trembled and dared not say another word.

He read the Empress's decree to himself, but no one came forward to pay him any attention.

After finishing reading, he slunk away from the palace with two eunuchs.

Bai Luoluo arrived at the medicinal cuisine room, closed the door, and began studying poisons inside.

Looking at the closed door, Butler Wang stood at the door and said, "Your Highness, the five women have been settled in the west courtyard. Please feel free to try the medicine if you wish."

"Okay, thank you, Butler Wang."

Bai Luoluo replied casually.

Five beauties stood in the courtyard, surrounded by guards.

"Sister Bilian, what does the Prince mean by this?"

Dongxia was dressed in white, nodded slightly, her eyes were bright and lively, her lips were luscious and her face showed a hint of nervousness.

“We entered the manor to monitor the prince, but now we’ve been assigned here. I don’t know what this means.”

Bilian was dressed in a light green outfit, with delicate features and intelligent eyes.
