The lights in the hall were still bright. Leng Xiqing held Qingmei and Qingque's hands and walked out of the hall, changed clothes and took a breath.

It's already a little late now, there are quiet paths, clumps of flowers, and you can even see small fireflies among the leaves.

"Returning to the empress, Qing Xing said that the Jade Concubine entered your majesty's palace in the 33rd year of the late emperor's reign. She first became a noble concubine, and later gave birth to an eldest brother. Your majesty asked you to make her a side concubine. In the same year, the empress entered the palace. The following year, Concubine Shu’s father requested that Concubine Shu come into the palace to accompany His Majesty.”

"Concubine Shu's father is requesting an order? Isn't it from Your Majesty?"

"Yes, in the same year, the Six Dragons' seizure of the legitimate rights began. In the third year, the Six Dragons' seizure of the legitimate children entered a fever pitch. At that time, only the First Prince and the Fourth Prince were able to compete with His Majesty. The Third Prince and the Sixth Prince supported the First Prince, while the First Prince supported The Fourth Prince. Prince Xiang is not in the capital. The Fourth Prince and Prince Xiang both have the same mother, and they were both conceived by the late Queen. They are legitimate sons."

"The Fourth Prince was expected to rule the world, but I don't know why Concubine Shu wanted to marry your Majesty. At that time, there were rumors among the people that whoever wins Concubine Shu would win the world. The court at that time was not optimistic about Your Majesty, even though there was support from the Qin family. , but the head of the Qin family is mediocre, and the Qin family has begun to decline and is almost the last of the four families."

"Oh, that means the chances of winning are not good," Leng Xiqing thought.

"At that time, Concubine Shu's mother-in-law's father was a general who ruled the country. Her three brothers were both literary and military and were leaders in Kyoto. In addition, the main lineage of Concubine Shu's family also had several uncles and eight or nine cousins, but only Shu The concubine is a girl who has been pampered by many people since she was a child."

"The following year, at the critical moment of the battle to seize the rightful son, the soldiers met each other. In those two years, Kyoto was said to be full of blood. The Liu family paved the way for His Majesty, and many young men, soldiers, and guards died. Concubine Shu's second brother and several A cousin died for this reason. In the same year, the battle for the right to inherit the throne was coming to an end. The kings were almost unable to kill him. The late emperor was so angry that he could not get out of bed. His Majesty forced the fourth prince to have no way out and led his people. They broke into the palace. At this time, His Majesty was outside and could not come back. The eldest brother of Concubine Shu and the soldiers of the Liu family protected everyone and left. However, the fourth prince had no way to retreat and led others to kill him like crazy. Concubine Shu's eldest brother While protecting Concubine Shu, I was hit by a poisonous arrow. I went home for two months to get treatment but failed, so I left."

"It was this year that Concubine Shu became extremely indifferent. The following year, His Majesty was ambushed before he ascended the throne. The remaining party captured several concubines and civil servants and threatened His Majesty. However, His Majesty was well prepared and captured the thieves. But The late emperor's personal bodyguard stood behind His Majesty. He also rebelled and stabbed His Majesty with a poisonous arrow. Concubine Shu's third brother saved His Majesty. After speaking a few words to Concubine Shu before he was dying, he died on the spot."

"Since then, Concubine Shu has become even colder and even more ruthless. But Luan Jing hasn't investigated anything yet and only found a little bit."

"Well, nothing happened." Women from the Four Kingdoms in the past had their own connections in the palace, and the previous intelligence network had been handed over to her by Concubine Leng.

"Investigated..." Leng Xiqing was about to ask what was investigated, "Host, be careful, someone is coming." The system reminded.

Leng Xiqing looked around and saw a piece of Yunjin's clothes. He smiled and said, "Seventh Prince, peeping is not a gentleman's behavior."

Prince Xiang slowly walked out of the rockery, "Shu Chongyi is really keen."

Prince Xiang stood opposite Leng Xiqing and looked at Leng Xiqing's appearance ambiguously.

Leng Xiqing also stared at Prince Xiang, looking like this in the palace just now. She had to leave quickly, otherwise others would see him like this...

"Since the prince is fine, I will take my leave first." Leng Xiqing leaned down and was about to leave.

At this time, Prince Xiang reached out and grabbed Leng Xiqing's arm, "Sister-in-law, I haven't said anything yet, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

The Gardenia Bracelet turned on its automatic body protection, and after a moment of blocking, King Xiang missed the target.

Prince Xiang put his hand behind his back, "I shouldn't. Something blocked me."

Leng Xiqing was a little angry. Qingque and Qingmei stood in front of her protecting Leng Xiqing.

"I just want to say that a branch of red dew is fragrant, and the clouds and rain in Wushan are heartbroken. My brother is so lucky to have such a beauty as my sister-in-law."

"Since King Xiang calls me sister-in-law, he knows that we should keep a distance, so King Xiang should be more respectful in his words."

"Hahaha, you said that I would ask the Emperor to give you to me. You said that the Emperor loves me so much, so you wouldn't disagree. In the past, when the Emperor got tired of playing with the princesses sent by him, he could give them to his ministers. When the ministers get tired of it, they can reward it to the servants, Shu Chongyi will not know about it."

Leng Xiqing snorted when he heard King Xiang say that the emperor loves me so much.A smiling tiger, a wolf in sheep's clothing, playing the role of brotherly love.

Leng Xiqing's face suddenly changed. The peace of the five countries seemed peaceful, but the four countries knew that the only thing that maintained the peace was the four countries' compromise, tribute, and gifts. It was said to be a marriage, but in fact it was a unilateral donation of the princess to seek peace.But...

Leng Xiqing traveled here and didn't know much about the history of these five countries.If that's true, it's simply inhumane.

"Impossible! The four countries are tributary countries, but not slave countries!" Leng Xiqing said.

"Oh? Shu Chongyi doesn't believe it. Go ask Concubine Leng. How about I take you to ask the emperor's brother? Let him give you to me and I will make you my concubine?" Prince Xiang smiled.

Concubine Leng once said that some princesses lived an extremely humiliating life here, but she never thought that the Guo Kingdom would treat the common princesses of the four countries as slaves.

"How dare you! You beast, I am the ninth concubine, the legitimate princess of the Leng Kingdom, and the head of the first palace. Prince Xiang, it is better not to be so presumptuous. If one day you get too proud and presumptuous, be careful and you will fall without a burial place. I It will be sad to fight with His Majesty."

Prince Xiang frowned and dared to ridicule me. How did she see that my brother and I were not as harmonious as it seemed. His Majesty would be sad. Huh, are you warning me?

"You seem to be different from the other princesses of the Four Kingdoms. You are interesting. Come on, come with me to see Brother Huang. I'll see if Brother Huang will scold me because of you?" After saying that, he used his inner strength to grab Leng Xiqing.

Qingque stood in front and also blocked King Xiang with his internal strength. Leng Xiqing's face turned red and he kicked King Xiang hard while King Xiang was not checking.

King Xiang cried out in pain, and Leng Xiqing hurriedly tried to escape. Fortunately, this place was remote and no one found him.

But I never thought that King Xiang would grab Qingmei.

Leng Xiqing's hair was about to explode. She couldn't tell Guo Qian yet. In those days, women would only be condemned for their faults anyway, not to mention that Guo Qian didn't seem to love her that much.

"Presumptuous! Is Prince Xiang a scoundrel? He is holding my maid hostage. Prince Xiang, do you want to kill me? I am His Majesty's concubine, or is Prince Xiang dissatisfied with His Majesty's attempt to rebel!!!"

"Your Highness King Xiang, what are you doing?"

Leng Xiqing heard an indifferent female voice and quickly turned around to see the person coming, wondering whether he should be happy or worried.
