Thinking of this, the concubines felt a chill run down their spines, and goosebumps immediately rose all over their bodies.
Several people with low tolerance almost threw up.
Such actions are utterly contrary to the laws of nature and disregard moral principles!
Does Si Jin have no shame at all this month?!
It's one thing for a man to live in the deep palace for so long, but to do such a disgraceful thing with His Majesty!
Seeing the disgusted expressions on the faces of the other concubines, Consort Li's lips, hidden beneath her veil, almost curled into a smile.
Yue Sijin, you're still too green to mess with me.
Don't you like to pretend to be weak?
Then I'll spread the rumors of all the despicable things you've done throughout the palace, and see how you'll ever have the face to appear before the other concubines again!
Si Jin didn't seem to care much.
The marks Xiang Linyuan left this time were too high and too dense; they couldn't be hidden at all.
It's like deliberately asserting sovereignty, telling everyone who can see Sijin—
This person is taken, don't even think about it!
Si Jin was happy to indulge his possessiveness, so she didn't try to hide it.
He gestured for everyone to sit down, casually adjusted his collar, and said:
"I'm sorry, the Regent came to visit unexpectedly last night, and I stayed here quite late. Please forgive me."
The Regent...?!
Wasn't he supposed to be the Emperor? Why has he become the Regent?!
Could it be that all the hickeys on Yue Sijin's neck were left by Regent Xiang Linyuan?!
Amidst everyone's astonishment, a nobleman dressed in blue suddenly spoke up:
"The Regent is so pitiful. Why does everyone try to pin the blame on him when someone does something shameful? I feel sorry for him."
In the utter silence, her voice stood out starkly.
It was clearly a mockery of Si Jin—it was clearly you and Xiang Yinghan who did that, yet you insist on blaming Xiang Linyuan, what are you pretending to be so high and mighty for?
This sentence brought the concubines back to their chaotic thoughts.
So Si Jin really was with the Emperor...
Si Jin looked over upon hearing the sound, her eyes filled with a deep smile.
This person is Consort Hui, who entered the palace a few years ago.
He has been following Consort Li ever since he entered the palace.
You could say she was a mad dog kept by Consort Li, biting people everywhere and never afraid of causing trouble.
Because Consort Li would protect her even if she caused trouble, she didn't care.
After all, the Wangyue family was powerful, and Consort Li was deeply favored by the emperor, so her power in the harem even surpassed that of the empress.
Who dares to touch her?
Si Jin remembered that Consort Hui was not among the concubines who came to pay their respects yesterday, so she probably hadn't witnessed her methods of killing.
He was merely acting under the orders of Consort Li, spouting nonsense and slandering himself.
"Consort Hui," Si Jin gestured for her to stand up and asked:
What did you just say?
Consort Hui stood up without a care:
"I'm sure you wouldn't understand what I'm saying, since you're best at playing dumb. Last night you even pretended to be stupid and got the Emperor to personally beat Consort Li. You must have spent quite a bit of time in the Emperor's arms... um..."
As they were talking, Si Jin suddenly shot out a silver needle from her hand.
The silver needle was sharp and pierced through Consort Hui's neck, embedding itself in the wall behind her.
Bang!
The silver needle pierced the red wall with a soft, muffled sound.
At the same time, Consort Hui stopped breathing and fell straight to the ground.
"Oh dear, it's so fragile, it's already... dead?"
Si Jin's eyes gleamed with excitement as she reluctantly withdrew the remaining three silver needles.
When Si Jin was emperor in the ancient world last time, he felt the inconvenience of killing people with hairpins.
This time, he carried more than a dozen slender silver needles with him.
However, I've never used it even once.
He had finally managed to get it out today, and he thought Consort Hui could hold on a little longer.
In the end, it was still just as boring.
The sudden death terrified everyone.
Some of the more timid ones screamed out loud:
"Ahhh! The Empress Dowager is killing someone!"
