Chapter 3: Traveling through time and space to become a royal concubine, she turned the harem upside down (Part 3)

"The Emperor has arrived, and the Consort Xian has arrived!"

As soon as the eunuch's shrill and thin voice sounded, the emperor in a dragon robe and the gorgeously dressed concubine walked in together.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. May your Highness be blessed with good health and happiness!"

Seeing the Dog Emperor coming, Fox Xiaomeng stepped forward and bowed slightly, then stepped on the back of Lin Xier's hand to wake her up.

It was a good opportunity for him to take a good look at what his sweetheart had become because of the torture he had done to her.

After paying her respects to the Imperial Concubine, the virtuous concubine looked down in surprise at the dying maid lying on the ground.

This person seemed to be a maid from the imperial concubine's uncle's family. She had met her two or three times when she came to Dexing Palace before.

"My Lady, your palace seemed quite lively before I arrived."

Following the Concubine Xian's gaze, the Emperor also noticed the maid lying on the ground. Although her figure seemed familiar, he did not associate her with Lin Xier.

After all, she knew very well how much this imperial concubine loved her cousin.

"Your Majesty, save me..."

Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Xier raised her head and called for help in a weak voice. She was finally saved.

"Xi..., Imperial Concubine, whose maid is this? What did she do wrong to make you so angry that you ordered her to be punished?"

When the emperor discovered that the maid lying on the ground was actually his sweetheart, he almost wanted to call out her name.

However, thinking that he shouldn't know Lin Xier in disguise, he changed his words abruptly.

Moreover, there was a virtuous concubine next to her, and it was absolutely impossible to admit that this was the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Personnel.

Otherwise, these cunning women in the palace would soon gang up on this delicate flower.

"Your Majesty, this is my uncle's maid. She was unruly, so I had her given a good beating to teach her a lesson.

Once you enter the palace, you must abide by the rules of the palace. I cannot favor her just because she is from my family.

As a concubine in the harem, I cannot take the lead in disrupting the palace rules. Your Majesty, do you think I am doing the right thing? "

Hu Xiaomeng pretended to look helplessly at Lin Xier who was lying on the ground, and caught a glimpse of her staring at the Dog Emperor.

"Your Majesty, this maid is so presumptuous! She actually dared to look up at you! This is simply disrespectful to you!"

The virtuous concubine loudly scolded Lin Xier who was lying on the ground. If the emperor had not been beside her, she would have kicked her in the face a few times.

This maid was injured and still tried to seduce the emperor with her pitiful eyes. This is simply a heinous crime.

"Alright, my two beloved concubines, there's no need to get angry over a maid. Out of sight, out of mind. Since she's already been punished, just have her taken away and sent back to the Shangshu Mansion.

Minister Lin has done some good things for me recently, so let's not embarrass the people in his house today."

While comforting his two concubines, the emperor gestured to the secret guards around him to come forward and take the person away.

The virtuous concubine could sense the emperor's favoritism towards the maid from her words, but seeing that she was plain-looking, she believed that no matter how hungry the emperor was, he would not be so interested in a maid from the Shangshu Mansion.

It must be because of Minister Lin's consideration that he did not take this person seriously.

"Your Majesty, you are very busy. Please return to the Imperial Study to handle your government affairs and stop coming to my palace all the time.

This is to prevent those ministers from writing memorials to accuse me of seducing the king and portraying me as a demon concubine.

Since my sister, the virtuous concubine, is here, let her stay here and have a good conversation with me."

After seeing the original owner's cousin being taken away, the emperor was absent-minded and must have been worried about her injuries.

Hu Xiaomeng has always been helpful and indeed found the emperor an eyesore, so she considerately advised him to leave.

"Sister, you are so lucky. The emperor always rushes to your side after court. I envy you so much."

Seeing that the emperor listened to Concubine De and really went to the Imperial Study to handle government affairs, Concubine Xian was extremely jealous.

No wonder Concubine De climbed up so quickly. This tactic of retreating to advance can really easily win the emperor's favor. I still need to learn more from her in the future.

"Let's not talk about the Emperor anymore. Let's talk about the statue of Guanyin that Concubine Xian sent us today..."

Before Hu Xiaomeng could finish her words, Concubine Xian had already knelt down.

"Sister Imperial Concubine, please forgive me. The musk inside was not put there by me. Even if I had a hundred courage, I would not dare to do such a treasonous thing."

The virtuous concubine knelt on the ground and hurriedly explained. She was also surprised when she saw Nanny Wu bringing the broken Guanyin statue and musk to her.

"Sister Xianfei, please get up quickly. I know your character best, and I certainly believe it wasn't you who did it.

Moreover, I have learned from the palace maid who was executed by me that the mastermind behind this was Concubine Shu.

I, a palace maid, was bribed by her. I smashed the Guanyin statue you gave me on purpose so that I could discover the musk inside and take the opportunity to sow discord between us.

If we really get into a fight, she'll be the one who reaps the benefits."

Hu Xiaomeng helped Concubine Xian and told her the truth.

When Concubine Xian heard this, she was only slightly stunned. She was not surprised whether it was Concubine Shu, Concubine Lan, or anyone else. There was no simple woman in the palace.

After staying in Dexing Palace for a while, Concubine Xian excused herself from illness and returned to her own palace.

The people in Dexing Palace finally understood why their master had Bi'er killed without saying a word. It turned out that this person was a spy sent by Concubine Shu.

"Master, it was Consort Lan who had musk added to the statue of Guanyin. Why do you say it was Consort Shu?"

After hearing what her master said, Ling Guoguo was very curious about what she wanted to do next.

"In her previous life, Concubine Lan died. The people behind the scenes weren't just Lin Xier, that Bier, but there must have been a time traveler as well.

But that time traveler hid very deeply, and many of the ideas that Bier gave to the original owner in the previous life should have been told to her by the person behind the scenes.

Not every time traveler is so smart. With Bi'er's intelligence, how could she have contributed so many good strategies to the original owner and Lin Xi'er?"

Hu Xiaomeng asked Concubine Xian to deal with Concubine Shu, just to see if she could lure out the person who was giving Concubine Lan advice behind the scenes.

Maybe it was someone in her palace, or maybe it was other concubines, or other beauties or talented people.

This person was so patient that he didn't reveal himself until the original owner died. He is quite a character.

[Yes, that Bi'er relied on her knowledge of history and thought she could rise high in the palace.

Someone without any skills, means, and such a shortsighted vision could become a corpse at any time in this strictly hierarchical harem.

Ling Guoguo thought that Bi'er just now thought that her master would use her based on the history she made up. It was simply a daydream.
