"What's your crime?" The emperor frowned.

Xie Congrong lowered his eyes, wet tears falling from his cheeks, "I shouldn't seduce Your Majesty, let alone have fun with Your Majesty, and miss His Majesty's great cause of cultivating Taoism!"

"Your Majesty is the wise king of the world with a firm mind, but because of my own selfish desires, I broke the commandments. I deserve to die for my crime. I... wu wu wu."

She choked up and couldn't speak anymore.

Tears slid down her face in succession and fell into the emperor's heart.

Over the years, what he heard most often was urging him to adopt a concubine...or asking him to select a child from the clan to adopt as his own.

Very few people care about his political achievements, even those closest to him.

But here today, he heard this from Xie Congrong.

His heart was beating hard, as if it was about to burst out of his chest.

For a moment, the emperor even felt that he had found his destined daughter!

He grabbed Xie Congrong's arm, pulled her into his arms, hugged her tightly, and said nothing for a long time.

The next day, Xie Congrong was made an exception and given the title of Concubine Rong.

The entire harem was in shock, everyone was trying to find out who Concubine Rong was.

But the news about Xie Congrong was tightly suppressed by the emperor, and no one knew her true identity.

A concubine went to cry to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was not angry but happy, and said three words "good".

Although it is still unclear whether he will have an heir, but at least there is hope, right?

He also said, "Now that the emperor favors his concubine again, shouldn't you also be happy that you have another chance?"

"Instead of crying here, it's better to think about how to win your heart!"

The Queen Mother dismissed the concubines with a few words, which also made their hearts ready to move.

However, the Queen Mother also strictly ordered everyone in the harem not to disturb Concubine Rong, and she did not come to disturb her either.

Xiangyun Palace suddenly became a place where everyone wanted to enter but could not.

Concubine Li was even asked in turn by the concubines to ask about Xie Congrong's appearance.

It's a pity that Xie Congrong was nestled in the emperor's arms that night, and she didn't see Xie Congrong clearly. She only saw her wearing a Taoist robe, and her thin body looked beautiful and pitiful.

"I understand! Your Majesty likes women wearing Taoist robes!"

"Quick, tell me quickly, I want to customize one, no, ten robes!"

"There should be many styles, the style should be good-looking, and in short, it should be able to make men's hearts flutter!"

"..."

For a time, there was a wave of Taoist robe fever in the palace.

Except for the queen, all the concubines had custom-made Taoist robes and wore them for walks every day.

Some were burying flowers in the imperial garden like those in the storybook, some were wearing Taoist robes and dancing on the small bridge where the emperor would pass by, and some were holding handkerchiefs and singing songs outside the side hall where the emperor occasionally rested...

It's a pity that the emperor turned a blind eye to them all.

In the end, he even severely punished a few concubines who were wearing Taoist robes and seducing him. Only then did the heat in the Taoist robes stop in the palace!

For ten consecutive days, the emperor rested in Xiangyun Hall.

On this day, the emperor got up and went to court. Xie Congrong stood up rubbing his shoulders.

Chengen is working really hard every day, her body hurts and her voice becomes hoarse...

She really didn't understand why the emperor had so much energy at such an old age.

From the moment I finished my dinner and washed up... I didn't go to bed until it got slightly brighter.

Before going to court, I could still wake up and do it again.

Finally, I can go to court in high spirits!

Xie Congrong smiled bitterly, but she had already taken the birth pill and was sure that she would be able to conceive her son.

It didn't mean much to her to visit her bed so frequently.

As for the emperor's favor, Xie Congrong didn't take it seriously.

A man's love may be sincere for a moment, but as time goes by, the sincerity will eventually fade away.

What's more, the love of an emperor is even more illusory.

She doesn't ask for anything.

She only hopes to receive the news of pregnancy soon, and then use this to gain a firm foothold and overturn the verdict of Prince Zhan's Mansion.

"Mother, it's time to eat."

Lu Li glanced at the marks on her body, and there was a spring in his eyes.

In the past few days, she had been guarding the door every night, and she could clearly hear what was going on inside the door, and she could also guess the emperor's power.

In my heart, I inevitably have some other thoughts.

Not long after she entered the palace, she even felt that the rumors she had heard in the past were false.

How could His Majesty not be able to give birth to a child? It must be the fault of those concubines for being so powerful!

If it were her, she would definitely be able to give birth!

Luli served Xie Congrong, thinking absentmindedly, his cheeks flushed.

With just one glance, Xie Congrong saw through her thoughts.

But she didn't care.

If Lvli could help share some of the burden, she would be happy!

Doing this kind of thing too much is also a burden.

Xie Congrongquan pretended not to see him, finished his breakfast under Lvli's service, and then went to the Zijin Temple not far next door.

Every morning, she would go to Zijin Temple to pray, nominally for the emperor, but actually for her father and brother.

There, she could find some peace.

Fortunately, His Majesty often sent people to her to see news about her father and brother during these days, and they had a safe trip.

My father's injury has also improved a lot.

Taoist Priest Zijin was not here today. When he entered, Xie Congrong caught a glimpse of the eunuch guarding the door.

It was replaced by the little eunuch holding the lamp who was talking to Ji Ming that day.

Xie Congrong slightly curled her lips, went in quietly, knelt down and prayed.

The little eunuch holding the lamp took a careful look and left quietly after a moment.

Xie Congrong caught a glimpse of it from the corner of his eye, but said nothing.

Not long after, the sound of light footsteps came quickly.

"Concubine Rong?"

When Xie Lian'er entered the door, she saw a kneeling figure, which looked inexplicably familiar, so she hesitated.

Xie Congrong raised his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, it was not Ji Ming who came, but Xie Lian'er!

She didn't get up, she just scolded coldly, "Get out! Your Majesty said that no one is allowed in while I am praying!"

Hearing her voice, Xie Lianer's body stiffened suddenly.

"elder sister?"

Xie Lian'er shouted hesitantly, then quickly moved forward and came to Xie Congrong's side.

When she saw that familiar face, Xie Lian'er's head exploded with a bang, "Why are you here?!"

Xie Congrong glanced at her lightly and sneered, "Then why are you here, sister?"

Xie Lian'er's face paled visibly, "You, you..."

Xie Congrong stood up leisurely, turned around and looked at the pale Xie Lian'er, "I heard that you married Ji Ming? Are you pregnant with his child?"

She looked at Xie Lian'er's still flat belly.

Xie Lian'er instinctively protected her stomach and took two steps back, "W-what do you want to do? Shouldn't you die on the road to exile?"

"Yes, logically I should be dead, but I'm not!"

Xie Congrong's expression turned cold, "Not only did I not, I came back and became His Majesty's favorite concubine. I can decide the life or death of you and Ji Ming with just one word."

"No, it's impossible!"

Xie Lian'er never expected that Xie Congrong was still alive and standing in front of her.

And with how favored she is now, it is not impossible to become a queen in the future!

By then, she would even have to call Xie Congrong Queen!

impossible!

She calculated so much that Xie Congrong fell from the clouds. How could she get up from the dirt? !

The strong anger and unwillingness made Xie Lian'er lose her mind.

She picked up a nearby candlestick that was about to burn out and stabbed Xie Congrong!

"Ah!"

Xie Congrong reached out and held Xie Lian'er's wrist directly.

Because she took Dali Pills, she was extremely strong, and Xie Lian'er couldn't compete with her.

Xie Congrong used a little force and forced Xie Lian'er's hand to turn back. The candlestick was pierced directly into Xie Lian'er's shoulder with its flame!

"what!"

Xie Lian'er let out a scream, feeling hot and painful.

Xie Congrong looked gloomy, covered Xie Lian'er's mouth with one hand, pulled out the candlestick with the other, and stabbed Xie Lian'er's other shoulder fiercely again.

"Uh, no...!" A muffled groan sounded, and Xie Lian'er's body was shaking with fear on her face.

Xie Congrong pulled out expressionlessly, and then stabbed the back of her hand.

Right hand, left hand, right foot, left foot!

Xie Lian'er was so painful that she almost fainted.

"Beloved concubine?"

Suddenly, there was a noise at the door.

The emperor came to the door at some point and looked at all this in shock!
