The reason why no one suspected that this incident was a trap set by Qu Yan was just as what Qu Can said.
This situation has not happened just once or twice. She has a long criminal record, so when it comes to bullying others, she has long lost any possibility of being trusted by others.
Yuji arrived in this vast continent decades ago.
In the first two years after her arrival, she was adored and respected by almost everyone, like a star surrounded by moon.
Those who always cared about the late emperor and the late queen were even more caring and protective of her. However, this friendship gradually disappeared after Zhang Yu'er gradually revealed her true nature.
At the beginning, because of what she had done, Yu Ji was always worried that her impersonation would eventually be exposed.
Because of this, she had been obedient for a while. During this period, she and Qu Can were inseparable almost every day and night.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if Yu Ji made such an absurd request as wanting to pick the twinkling stars in the sky, Qu Can would definitely find ways to help her find them.
But later, as time went by, she gradually became familiar with every tree and blade of grass, every house and palace, and every face here, whether flattering or indifferent.
The heart that had been hanging in the air finally calmed down a lot. However, who could have thought that at this moment, everything would change quietly.
At first, she just couldn't stand the concubines in the harem who tried their best to please her all day long.
The reason why they were so diligent in currying favor with him was simply because they hoped to hear a few good words from him so that Qu Can would remember them and gain his favor.
Although she despised this behavior in her heart, she didn't take it too seriously at first.
But as time went by, somehow, her mentality gradually changed.
Gradually, she was no longer satisfied with just watching from the sidelines, but began to openly take action against those concubines who were keen on vying for favor.
You know, she was the princess of the previous emperor! But now she was dominating the harem of the current emperor, teaching those concubines to obey her like servants.
What is surprising is that in the face of her arrogant and domineering behavior, Qu Can not only did not stop her, but chose to condone it.
Thus, with his tacit approval, she became more and more unscrupulous, and even almost interfered with the power of managing palace affairs.
However, as the saying goes, "Extreme joy leads to sorrow", one day, she finally got into big trouble.
That day, she accidentally ran into a young lady in the imperial garden who was trying to create an opportunity to meet Qu Can and have something happen.
This young concubine was of humble origin and had no background in the palace.
Perhaps it was because she saw this clearly that Zhang Yuer dared to kill him and tortured him to death without mercy.
After all, in her opinion, with such a lowly status, even if she was a princess, killing him would not cause any big trouble.
What's more, she firmly believed that no matter what mistakes she made, Qu Can would always protect her and would never let anyone hurt her.
However, she did not realize the key point: the feud with the young concubine was not due to her own fault.
In the end, a young life was lost in her hands.
The cause of the incident was actually that the young concubine was trying to win the emperor's favor and even tried to seduce him without knowing her own limitations.
Seeing this, she was furious and kept cursing the other party, saying that he was "shameless" and "unruly" for daring to seduce the emperor, and then she killed him.
If this reason were to be dealt with by other concubines or the emperor's biological mother, it might not cause much controversy.
But the problem is that she is just a princess, and the daughter of the late emperor.
More importantly, on the one hand, she resolutely refused to allow the emperor's many concubines to compete for favor with each other, but on the other hand, she relied on her special status as an orphan left by the previous emperor's empress and asked the emperor to accompany her every day.
Such behavior naturally caused dissatisfaction among many concubines.
Most of the concubines who dared to anger her were subjected to her ruthless revenge because they tried to snatch the emperor from her.
Faced with such a situation, how could the concubines tolerate it?
Before stepping into the heavy and solemn gate of the palace, everyone knew that once entering this deep palace, they were destined to engage in a fierce battle with other concubines for the emperor's favor, which was as precious as a rare treasure.
However, what is unexpected is that the most difficult and challenging person to deal with is the princess who suddenly appears - Princess Yuji.
The princess had an almost inexplicable strong possessiveness towards the emperor.
To successfully win the emperor's favor from her is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
The reason was simple: the emperor doted on the princess, even to the point of extreme indulgence. Because of this, during that period, proposals for Princess Yuji's marriage came flooding in, so many that they were almost innumerable.
However, everything changed drastically after the unfortunate death of the little promise.
This incident was like a fuse that ignited a powder keg, instantly detonating the long-suppressed emotions of the concubines who already held many grudges against the princess.
They could no longer sit quietly in their own palaces. They could not wait to contact their respective families and united to put tremendous pressure on the emperor.
After all, no one wants to become the next tragic figure like Xiao Yingying, who was ruthlessly executed by the emperor's willful little niece simply for trying to legally attract her husband's attention.
But in the end, he still failed to bring Yu Ji down.
He just succeeded in getting her out of the palace and granted her a princess's mansion.
But this still did not change anything. She was still unfriendly to those women favored by the emperor.
As a result, everyone started to complain about her.
Now Qu Can's sudden outburst of attitude was like a fuse, causing everyone to join in.
Even though they originally had no feelings for Qu Yan, now that they had a common enemy... so...
“Yes, Princess Yuji really needs a proper lesson. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this girl from the Murong family is…
I'm afraid her health is not very good, but the princess is still like this... Oh, I don't know if this Miss Murong will do this in the future."
The person who spoke was the highest-ranking concubine in Qu Can's harem, Concubine Gao.
