The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

Chapter 480: Inhuman Things

The sudden change of expression caught Yan Xun off guard, while Hu Ziyi, who had been hiding behind the screen patiently, sighed as if it was nothing.

Her princess is good in every way. The only thing that causes some headaches to people around her is that she has a bit of a naughty temper. However, in Hu Ziyi's view, this is normal. As a favored daughter of heaven, she has gotten whatever she wanted since she was young, and almost everyone around her obeys her.

When she was playing with her friends, she kicked over a decorative porcelain vase in her father's palace. That was not called getting into trouble, but Her Highness Yuyi was lively and active, and had a strong body. She could even knock over a porcelain vase that was taller than her, which showed that her strength had increased. Because she was curious about a mechanical bird that the barbarians had tributed to her mother's palace, she secretly dismantled it but couldn't put it back. That was not called being naughty, but Her Highness Yuyi was smart and studious, dexterous, and daring to act... If you have to blame someone, you should blame the barbarians for only tribute one.

Your Highness didn't enjoy the demolition to his heart's content.

Thinking back to how Lu Weiyuan had been doted on by everyone in the past, Hu Ziyi couldn't help but sigh again that her own prince was too well-behaved. He didn't grow up to be a dandy who bullied men and women and did all kinds of evil things. Doesn't this just prove that Prince Yuyi has a kind nature?

She did not loosen her hand on the soft sword, and was still ready to charge out at any time - although Hu Ziyi was also aware that her martial arts skills were actually not as good as her prince's, but, so what?

Even though she knew that Lu Weiyuan was an expert in martial arts and had even reached the level of perfection, she was still worried and still wanted to use her own strength to protect her master and good friend.

"......Your Highness......" Yan Xun, who seemed to have been punched in the face, still had a working level. He returned to normal almost instantly, "Your humble servant did not intentionally conceal the Princess Rong, but..."

"Just what?" Lu Weiyuan's smile was still sweet, and her tone was still innocent, but the words she spoke were too straightforward and sophisticated. Her whole body was filled with a distinct sense of disconnection, as if - the evil demon in the mountains had finally taken off her human skin.

"It's just that you have experienced too much, and you don't dare to trust a woman like Aunt Rong Le who is older and more experienced, oh, and maybe has been immersed in the art of pleasure for too long?"

"Look at you. You don't seem like the type of person who firmly believes that all adults in the world are black-hearted and bad fruit, and that this world is rotten and everyone will target you to frame you, the only pretty lotus that is above the world and untainted by mud."

"So, you just think that I'm young and not as experienced as Aunt Rong Le, and maybe I'm soft-hearted enough. Once I hear your story, I'll be moved by you and can't help but want to take care of you, take you in, and get close to you, right?"

"It's like - when I was walking down the street on a rainy day, I happened to meet a little raccoon that was soaked by the rain, huddled in a corner and shivering, but still meowing at me?"

Lu Weiyuan just raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and his sweet and innocent smile suddenly turned malicious: "The difference is that if I met this little raccoon on a rainy day, I would definitely pick it up and take it home."

She likes cats.

The oldest one in Chonghua Palace has been raised for more than ten years.

"But the person is different." Lu Weiyuan changed her posture. She put her right leg on top of her left leg and crossed her legs. In the process, she rudely touched Yan Xun, who was standing in front of her and seemed a little at a loss, with her right leg, knocking him down instantly.

"Raising a human being is so troublesome. I can't just fence off a place in the palace and feed it three meals a day like a cat, throw some toys over, and play with it when I remember. I can't just clear out a room and build a few treasure cabinets to put the human in, like collecting ornaments, and just pay attention to dusting and maintenance, and take it out to play with it when I remember..."

She looked at the man kneeling in front of her. He seemed to be thinking seriously about how to "raise" him in her palace without causing her any trouble, or simply "collect" him.

It's like raising an inhumane pet or placing inanimate objects.

Yan Xun shuddered uncontrollably, finally realizing that the young princess in front of him was not someone who could be easily manipulated. She was completely different from her delicate and beautiful appearance, which looked as sweet as honey and as pure and harmless as clouds.

It was as if a non-human creature had grown up under that skin.

A chill crawled up Yan Xun's spine like a snake. He gritted his teeth and pulled his right hand into his sleeve.

"Wow, you finally can't resist using that thing in your sleeve?!" The girl's voice was clear, revealing her irrepressible excitement and curiosity.

But Lu Weiyuan's shout almost made Hu Ziyi, who was behind the screen, rush out - she did notice that this actor had used abnormal drugs, but she was completely unaware of the layout of the box, or that this man had something hidden in his sleeves.

And from Lu Weiyuan's tone, it was as if she had seen through everything and everyone that happened today long ago. However, she did not care and just watched them happen silently, as if she had completely withdrawn herself from this world, just like the audience watching the performance on the stage, laughing occasionally, but never sinking into the plot.

Yan Xun, who was almost face to face with Lu Weiyuan, paused what he was doing. He was completely unable to understand what this young woman was thinking or what she knew.

Could it be that his and others' actions had already been exposed?

But Princess Rong Le, the owner of Heyi Tower, didn’t even notice it. How did it get exposed?

I wonder if Junior Sister noticed...

His action of stopping made Lu Weiyuan very dissatisfied: "Keep going. I have read in books that many witch doctors and sorcerers in the countryside use tricks to make people hallucinate and even make people unable to leave them and obey their orders. This is the first time I have encountered it myself."

Yan Xun's hands became increasingly stiff. He looked up at Lu Weiyuan in disbelief and asked, "Your Highness already knew about us?"

Lu Weiyuan tilted her head to the other side and said, "What do you mean by you? I only know that the medicinal fragrance you used in your performance can cause hallucinations. When combined with the thing in your sleeve, it can make people fall into a drowsy state. People in this state will listen obediently to whatever others say to them. Even if they wake up later, they will only think that it was their own thoughts."

"You came all the way to see me with something like this, could it be that you have some good intentions?"
