Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 401: Concubine Liang

Department of Caution and Punishment.

Not having to be tortured was something Concubine Lin could not accept; what she wanted was to stay alive.

As long as she is alive, with her beauty, there is no need to worry about not being able to regain favor in the harem.

"My sister just wants to survive..."

Concubine Lin negotiated the conditions to Huang Ye.

Huang Ye will not spoil her.

Besides, she has no right to avoid the death penalty now.

"Eunuch Yu, let's go. Concubine Lin is a tough girl. Tell the people from the Ministry of Punishment not to show mercy."

Huang Ye said to Eunuch Yu as he walked out.

Lin Jieyu was a smart person. When she heard Huang Ye say this, she could not help but understand what she meant.

What she meant was to let the people from the Ministry of Punishment punish her.

She shuddered at the thought of the methods used by the Ministry of Punishment.

Although she pretended to be dead after she came in and escaped a lot of punishment, that was when no one explained.

If someone had deliberately explained...

For someone like Eunuch Yu, if someone close to the Emperor were to tell...

Ye Jieyu believed that she would be tortured and live a life worse than death in the days ahead.

"I mean... I'm not really sure..."

Seeing that Huang Ye and the others were about to leave, Concubine Lin couldn't help but scream.

Huang Ye turned around and looked at Concubine Lin with a smile.

"No wonder everyone in the harem says that Concubine Lin is a smart person. Today I see that she is indeed a smart person..."

Lin Jieyu was too lazy to play around with Huang Ye, this hypocritical and vicious woman.

"Is such that…"

It turns out that it happened when I was in the East Palace.

Concubine Lin had just entered the palace at that time and was favored by the crown prince.

She is a thoughtful person.

So she soon discovered that when the Crown Princess saw her, she looked very friendly.

But the way she looked at her was hostile.

Ye Jieyu was still very young at that time.

She was thinking about whether she could seek refuge with the Crown Princess and have her accept her as one of her own.

So one afternoon she came to the main hall where the Crown Princess lived.

She wanted to let someone know so that she could go in and talk to the Crown Princess.

She chose to come here at this time because she thought that everyone was taking a nap and there must be no one else here with the Crown Princess.

But that day was so strange.

She had already reached the door of the Crown Princess's bedroom, but didn't see a single palace servant.

No one came to question her or report to her.

Concubine Lin is not only careful but also courageous.

Just as she was about to knock on the door herself, she suddenly heard a sound coming from inside the house.

The words that voice said made her pull back her hand that was about to knock on the door.

"Then Madam Yu is no longer viable. The Crown Princess can rest assured..."

Concubine Lin was very surprised. How could Madam Yu become ill? She had just talked to Madam Yu in the morning.

"That bitch Madam Yu relied on her good looks to seduce the prince. He even went to her twice last month..."

The Crown Princess cursed with gritted teeth.

"Why is the Crown Princess angry with her? She will be dead soon."

The man seemed very proud.

"Is your thing really useful?"

The princess asked suspiciously.

"Don't worry, Princess, that thing is absolutely reliable, but..."

She lowered her voice so that Concubine Lin outside could not hear what they said next.

But Concubine Lin is indeed a smart person.

She knew the two people in the room. If they knew she was eavesdropping, they would definitely not let her go.

So she quickly left the Crown Princess's courtyard.

From beginning to end, no one noticed that she had ever been there.

After knowing this, Concubine Lin became cautious.

She deliberately made friends with Mrs. Yu, and as a result, she discovered that something was wrong with her.

Less than half a year after this incident, Mrs. Yu passed away.

"Who is that person you are talking about?"

Judging from Concubine Lin's tone, she doesn't sound like someone she is unfamiliar with, so she should not be a stranger.

"It's Concubine Liang..."

Concubine Lin spoke with difficulty.

"Princess Liang?"

Huang Ye repeated.

She and Eunuch Yu looked at each other, both of them a little bit unbelieving.

"I originally wanted to keep this matter to myself. Concubine Liang had a good family background and she was already a concubine at that time."

"You didn't tell anyone at that time, did you?"

Huang Ye asked.

"No one would believe me even if I told them. She always gave people the impression of being a good person..."

From then on, Concubine Lin never dared to go to the Crown Princess alone again.

At that time, the prince was obviously very good to her, and she was afraid that the crown princess would harm her.

"What I said is just my guess, but what Concubine Liang said at the time was indeed very suspicious..."

Lin Jieyu looked at the yellow leaves cautiously.

"You promised me that you would tell the Ministry of Punishment not to torture me..."

"I keep my word, Eunuch Yu, you will explain this matter later."

"Don't worry, Madam Concubine, I won't forget it."

Huang Ye then looked at Concubine Lin again, then turned and walked out.

If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the last time she sees Concubine Lin.

Princess Liang...

Although Concubine Liang is a concubine, her presence is indeed not high.

Moreover, she and the abandoned queen...

Huang Ye has been in the palace for a year, and she has almost never seen Concubine Liang speak to the deposed queen.

"Princess Liang was born in the Dingyuan Marquis's mansion. At that time, it was the wife of the Dingyuan Marquis who personally went to the palace to ask for the Emperor and Empress Dowager's help..."

On the way back, Eunuch Yu introduced Huang Ye.

What that means is that Concubine Liang was able to enter the palace because her family contributed.

The Marquis Dingyuan's mansion is also different from other marquisates.

Generally, the families that are granted the title of nobility are those whose ancestors or recent times have made great contributions.

Of course, most of the military generals who followed the founding emperor to conquer the world were granted titles of nobility.

However, Marquis Dingyuan started out as a civil official. His ancestor was an advisor to the first founding emperor.

It was he who provided advice and suggestions to the founding emperor and made great contributions to the establishment of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Therefore, after the founding emperor ascended the throne, he conferred the title of Marquis Dingyuan on Concubine Liang's ancestors and allowed their family to enjoy the title and salary for generations.

From now on, as long as the descendants of the Liang family don't make any serious mistakes.

As long as the Great Xia Dynasty exists, the glory of their family will exist.

As a family of civil officials, the Dingyuan Marquis family also served as officials in the court for generations.

By the time it came to Concubine Liang's generation, her father and brothers were also serving the court.

However, their abilities are limited and they have little say in the court, but they are honest people.

It’s like Concubine Liang has little presence in the harem.

It can be said that Concubine Liang's mother sacrificed her face so that she could enter the Eastern Palace at that time.

Huang Ye could understand the wife of Marquis Dingyuan.

It must be that Concubine Liang who took a fancy to the prince first, and then asked her mother to go to the palace to make the request.

There is no parent in this world who would not fulfill their child’s wish, especially since the prince was so outstanding at that time.

After entering the palace, Concubine Liang behaved herself and was law-abiding, which made the prince think highly of her.

Her status in the harem was still quite favored.
