Everyone knew that the harem of the Southern Kingdom had dozens of concubines in the beginning. They were all taken in by the emperor to weaken the power of the prime minister and the general. However, after the prime minister's daughter and the general's sister entered the palace, the concubines in the harem drowned, hanged, poisoned, fell to death, and died of illness. There were even some who disappeared inexplicably. In the end, only two concubines were left. They were Concubine Yi, the daughter of the prime minister of the Palace of Earthly Tranquility, and Concubine Lin, the sister of the general of the Palace of Jingren.
After Consort Yi left Chonghua Hall, she went straight to Consort Lin's Jing Ren Palace. Thinking back to the time when she and Consort Lin entered the palace at the same time, they were also not favored by the Emperor, so she and Consort Lin worked together to eliminate the harem concubines. Their hands were stained with blood, they were ruthless, they were scheming, and all they could think of was the high and mighty person's curtain and the phoenix chair they dreamed of.
They had worked together to poison everyone, including the Empress Murong Rong Er. Seeing that she was the only stumbling block left, she had never thought that another woman would appear out of nowhere. She was Yue, who had a beauty that made all the women envious. She had never thought that the Emperor would actually let her live in Chong Hua Hall, the place where she had always dreamed of living.
Why could that woman live there? So, she and Consort Lin joined forces again, wanting to kill Yue and then be satisfied. She had already tested this woman. This woman was not smart enough to dare to go against her. If she was smart, she would know what it meant to be wise and protect herself. She would know how to survive in the harem. Now, the harem was her and Consort Lin's world. This woman would die sooner or later.
Sitting on the mahogany chair in Jing Ren Palace, Yi Fei recounted the events in Chonghua Hall in detail. The fox-like woman sitting on the soft couch listened while cleaning her fingernails. She looked relaxed as if she was listening to a story. She was the general's sister, Concubine Lin. After Yi Fei finished telling the story, she said," Sister, this woman is not a threat. I believe it won't be long before we kill her."”
Concubine Lin glanced at Concubine Yi, her long curved eyelashes covering the light in her eyes. This daughter of the prime minister was really stupid. That woman called Yue was really too smart. She actually said that that woman was not to be feared. Forget it, let them fight. When the time came, the harem would be Concubine Lin's world." That's right, then I'll leave this woman to you. With your intelligence, it shouldn't be difficult."”
Yi Fei remained calm and collected. She had already guessed Lin Fei's wishful thinking. It was not easy to let her fight with that woman so that she could reap the benefits. She would use that woman to eliminate Lin Fei and then compete with that woman." What are you saying, sister? Younger sister is not as smart as sister. This time, I need sister to come up with more ideas for younger sister."”
"Younger Sister, don't be so humble. This harem will be Younger Sister's world sooner or later. I don't have so many ideas, but I still know how to help out.”Concubine Lin got off the bed. She was dressed in silk and satin, which made her look noble. She had to admit that it did not match her temperament." It's rare for Younger Sister to come to Jing Ren Palace. Stay and have dinner with Elder Sister today."”
"Big sister is really polite, then it would be impolite for little sister to refuse.”Yi Fei smiled brightly and helped Concubine Lin to the dining room.
On the other side, a pair of women who appeared to be deeply in love with each other were having a happy meal together. On the other side, I took a shower and changed my clothes before heading to the Changle Palace Hall where the Emperor was. Of course, it was this Queen's own clothes. Don't think that this Queen would wear those cumbersome and heavy ancient costumes. Not only would it be boring, but it would also be easy for her to fall over.
Without knocking, I pushed the door open and entered. The Emperor was working hard, and the table was piled with piles of memorials. Looking at how he was reading them seriously, it was really quite beautiful. There was only a palace maid and a eunuch beside me. When they saw me enter the door and kneel down to salute, they blinked. I seemed to be treated as a VIP by these palace people. That's right, I lived in the Empress 'Chonghua Hall. They probably thought that I would be appointed as an empress. They couldn't offend the future Empress.
"Miss Yue, why did Miss Yue come to the Hall of Eternal Joy? Is there anything?”The Emperor Xuan Yuan heard the sound of the door opening and looked up. When he saw me, something flashed across his eyes. I didn't look closely, but it probably wasn't a good light. This Queen has never liked the power tactics of the upper class, although I used it quite a bit to manage the evil race in the past.
She pursed her lips. What are you talking about? It's as if I have to have something to do before I can come. However, I really have something to do. I have to ask this Emperor how much he knows about the internal strife in the harem." Yes, there's something. I haven't eaten yet. You haven't eaten either, right? We can talk while eating.”
The Emperor smiled and stood up to come in front of me." Indeed, I haven't eaten either. Little Chun, pass the food."”
[Location: Changle Palace Hall Restaurant] Me, the Emperor, and a restaurant full of palace servants. Event: The Emperor and I sat at the long dining table. There were fifty dishes on the table, all of which looked, smelled, and tasted good. Moreover, every dish was as beautiful as art. I was speechless. As expected of an Emperor eating. Look at these dishes and palace servants. They were really ostentatious.
She took a bite of the beef. Not bad, she took the best part of the beef. According to her standards, it was a little lacking, about 0.555555% lacking. But, she said," I say, can you finish it all by yourself? What a waste."
The Emperor paused and chuckled." It's indeed a little wasteful, but this is the ancestral system and cannot be changed at will.”
"F * ck, what ancestral system? Rules are dead and people are alive. If you don't like it, you have to change it. I didn't expect you to be so pedantic at such a young age.”She scoffed at the Emperor's words. She thought back to how many rules she had to change in order to manage the evil race to have today's relaxed life. Otherwise, she would not have appeared in this world.
"Yes, I have learned my lesson, but those officials will definitely try their best to stop it.”The Emperor raised another difficult question.
It seems that this emperor wants to learn from me. I can tell him the method, but will he accept it? After all, the Evil Clan had always respected the strong. It was impossible to convince people with virtue." Are you the emperor or are they the emperor? Even if you are controlled by the courtiers, you can still be willful once or twice. Besides, advocating thrift is a good thing for the people. If someone objects, you can punish him. It's good for your physical and mental health to lose your temper occasionally.”
The Emperor didn't say anything else. He frowned and was obviously considering whether to accept it. I really don't know how he is an emperor. If it was me, I would have cultivated my own power long ago and grasped the lifeline and evidence of all the courtiers. If they don't obey my management, I can also create some crimes for them. Although it is a little cruel to use violence to deal with violence, the effect is extremely good.
"Alright, let me ask you. How much do you know about the truth behind the mysterious deaths of the concubines in the harem?”I don't want to wait for him to understand.
The Emperor's gaze became distant, as if he was missing someone." I know it was Consort Yi and Consort Lin who did it. However, one of them is the daughter of the Prime Minister, the head of all officials, and the other is the younger sister of a general who holds military power. Even if I knew, I couldn't do anything to them. Furthermore, I don't have conclusive evidence to testify against them.”
The half-moon eye appeared. Humans were indeed weak. Why would they need evidence to kill two women?" Emperor, I have to say that you are a gentleman. If they were despicable people, this matter would be much easier to resolve. It's just two women. We should give them a taste of their own medicine. There is no need for evidence, nor is there a need to kill them openly. Everyone will fall sick. If their daughter or sister dies of illness, they can only blame their beautiful faces for their unfortunate lives.”
The Emperor was surprised because my expression was a little vicious when I said this. Alright, it was very vicious and cruel." Doing this goes against the teachings of the sages. I will never do this.”
Depressed, did I ask you to do this? I put down my chopsticks and stood up. I looked down at the Emperor." I'm not your person. Why do you listen to me? Are you the Emperor or not? Why are you so unassertive and have so many misgivings? Let me tell you, what's the use of calling for a hundred people in the court? The power of life and death is in your hands. If you don't listen, you can kill them by disobeying the imperial edict. What's the use of holding military power? To put it nicely, you're concerned about the overall situation. To put it bluntly, you're weak and incompetent. As an emperor, you should be stronger.”
"What if they stop?" The Emperor looked like he was listening.
"Forget it. Let's see who dares to not attend court with an imperial edict. As an official, what kind of official is there if he doesn't attend court? It's just nice that they're recruiting their own people. However, I suggest you deal with the general first. Only with military power can you have nothing to fear.”With that, he left the Changle Palace Hall.
