The days of peace and quiet ended just like that.

He still felt a little reluctant.

…

Liang Anyu started his military career when he was young, and now in his middle age he still enjoys riding horses.

This time when he returned to the palace, he rode a royal horse.

The emperor's majesty made countless subjects and people submit to him.

But among the admiring gazes of the crowd, there was more or less some...sympathy.

So what if he was powerful? He still had no offspring!

As the ruler of the world, Liang Anyu felt bad that he was sympathized by ordinary people.

Zhu Xianyue followed in the center of the team and was carried into the palace in a sedan chair.

Because of her low rank, she was sent to the remote Furongxuan after entering the palace.

A mere official girl could not even see the empress and the emperor, let alone the concubines of higher rank.

There is no need to visit the Empress every morning and evening. You only need to visit her once a month.

The Imperial Household Department only assigned two maids and an old eunuch with clumsy legs and feet to serve her.

There were not enough people, and Zhu Xianyue even had to do some of the sewing and cleaning work herself.

So the women in the harem all tried their best to climb up.

Become a superior person, wear armor, keep your fingers clean from mud, and live in a big building (Mei Yaochen).

After Zhu Xianyue accepted the emperor's favor, she deliberately used contraception.

She was favored outside the palace, and if she became pregnant, it would be easy for someone with ulterior motives to falsely accuse her of being someone else's child.

By then, the loss will outweigh the gain.

On the fifth day after she arrived at Furongxuan, Wei Ziping, the eunuch beside Liang Anyu, came.

However, it was not Zhu Xianyue who was summoned to the emperor's bedchamber, but the empress dowager ordered her to watch the execution.

What happened in Dajue Temple that day did not escape the eyes of Queen Mother Wang.

The Queen Mother tried her best, but Zhu Xianyue took advantage of the opportunity.

She was angry.

But it won’t cost Zhu Xianyue his life.

So he asked Zhu Xianyue to watch Chu Yuwei being torn apart by five horses.

It can also be considered as a lesson for Zhu Xianyue.

If Zhu Xianyue was a timid and incompetent person, she would be frightened to the point of losing her mind and might even become ill.

Everything depends on Zhu Xianyue's own luck.

Fortunately, Zhu Xianyue has experienced a lot and even fought on the battlefield in the previous plane.

What kind of death hasn't she seen?

A mere five horses dismembering a person is nothing to worry about.

It couldn't scare her at all.

But what surprised her was that besides her, the eldest princess was also present at the execution scene.

"This concubine pays her respects to the eldest princess."

"Please stand up."

Liang Huanyan was very polite to her.

That day, Zhu Xianyue risked her life to tell the maidservant around Liang Huanyan about the scandal between her husband Xie Junze and his widowed sister-in-law.

Liang Huanyan sent people to investigate and found that it was true.

I didn’t expect that Xie Junze not only had a mistress, but also had an affair with his widowed sister-in-law... Ha!

However, the eldest princess is so smart.

Although he was in great torment and felt that all his years of hard work seemed like a pipe dream, he still did not show any emotion in front of outsiders.

She wanted to find solid evidence that Xie Junze was having an affair with his widowed sister-in-law.

Then, they were ridiculed by the world.

If it is exposed now, the two will not only deny it to death.

Even if Liang Anyu favors her and punishes Xie Junze, he will be accused of injustice and partiality.

Over the years, Liang Anyu has suffered a lot because of not having any offspring.

As his elder sister, how could she have the heart to rub salt into his wounds and make him worry about her, a woman?

Before she had the chance to thank Zhu Xianyue, she heard that Zhu Xianyue was sent here by the Queen Mother to watch the execution.

Without having time to report to the Queen Mother, the princess came here directly.

She was afraid she was afraid.

She's going to protect her.

It was the appearance of Zhu Xianyue that illuminated her abyss and allowed her to see clearly the beasts around her.
