Chapter 938: After the widow was raped, she was favored by the harem 14

Ying Xixi widened her eyes, somewhat surprised.

“When was this signed?”

After he finished speaking, Ying Xixi thought of a possibility and looked up at Xiao Xieyun in disbelief.

"Could it be that on the night Zhao Linjian was murdered, Ah Yun, you held Zhao Linjian's hand and asked him to press his fingerprints?!"

Xiao Xieyun didn't expect Ying Xixi to guess it so quickly. He turned his head and coughed, without answering her question.

"Once you sign and put your fingerprints on it, this divorce letter will take effect.

I will stamp it again, and you will have nothing to do with the Zhao family anymore."

Ying Xixi couldn't explain what she felt in her heart.

She would not blame Xiao Xieyun for hiding the divorce papers until now, and only took them out after she had persuaded him several times.

She just felt that Xiao Xieyun really took her words to heart.

"Ayun, thank you. I've finally been waiting for this divorce letter."

Finally, one of the original owner’s wishes was fulfilled!

Xiao Xieyun raised his eyebrows, "Just a verbal thank you again?"

Ying Xixi placed the divorce papers on the table, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed his lips with a smile.

"Is your Majesty satisfied with this kind of thanks?"

Xiao Xieyun's eyes darkened a little, and he grabbed the back of Ying Xixi's head with his big hand.

"Not satisfied, unless it is like this."

A barrage of kisses fell, and what happened next was a natural progression.

........

The next day, an imperial edict caused an uproar in the palace.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that the Ying family is gentle, virtuous, dignified, and virtuous, and is hereby canonized as a noble consort and given a royal seal... I decree this!"

The chief eunuch Fuquan finished reading the imperial edict with a smile.

"Please accept the order, Your Majesty."

Ying Xixi took the imperial edict in a daze.

"Thank you, my lord, for your grace."

Fuquan: "Your Highness, His Majesty has ordered that you can choose any palace in the harem. Once you have chosen, just let the servants know. Once the palace is cleaned up, Your Highness can move in."

Ying Xixi nodded, "Okay, I...I'll go take a look later."

Fuquan agreed to leave, and Ying Xixi asked the palace maid Yueya to take her to visit the harem.

As soon as the imperial edict of enthronement was issued, it quickly spread throughout the entire palace and had a tendency to spread beyond the palace.

The palace servants did not dare to discuss it, but the people outside the palace dared to discuss it quietly.

In the largest city tower in the capital.

"Big news! Have you heard? The one in the palace has been canonized as a noble concubine!"

"Ah? Who is it? I remember there is no queen in the palace. In all these years, His Majesty has not even selected concubines."

"You are behind the times! Did you know about the execution at Caishikou yesterday?"

"I know. As for the Zhao family, the former prime minister colluded with the enemy and even wanted to rebel, but he was exposed.

His Majesty ordered the execution of the entire Zhao family, but Zhao Yonggang was rescued by Lin Yueguo's men who broke into the prison.

Yesterday's execution was to execute the rest of the Zhao family.

What's wrong? Is the imperial concubine in the palace related to the Zhao family?"

The other party was speechless.

"You know the news very clearly, how come you don't know the relationship between the imperial concubine and the Zhao family?

Do you know who exposed the Zhao family?"

"Yes, she is the Prime Minister's wife, and seems to be the legitimate daughter of the general who guards the country.

Yes, what about this lady? I didn't see her beheaded yesterday.

Although she is a member of the Zhao family, she exposed the Zhao family's crimes, so she can be considered as making meritorious contributions while guilty. Even if the entire family is executed, she should not be executed."

The other party was even more speechless.

“The Prime Minister’s wife you mentioned was kept in the palace by His Majesty on the night she exposed the Zhao family’s crimes.

Today, the woman who was canonized as the Imperial Concubine by His Majesty is the Prime Minister's wife. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Ah?! What?! Is this true?!

Then, Your Majesty...has taken my wife by force?!"

He lowered his voice before uttering the last few words.

He paused and added, "Besides, Prime Minister Zhao is dead, so the Prime Minister's wife is a widow, right? Your Majesty is forcibly occupying a widow!

You are truly a tyrant, to be able to do such a thing!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down! Just know it, don't go into too much detail!"

The people nearby heard it clearly and came over to discuss it.

"Hey, you said, did the imperial concubine volunteer?"

"What does it matter if it's voluntary or not? How can someone favored by His Majesty have the freedom to make their own choices?"

"That's true. Alas, they are all poor people!"

.......

Ying Xixi was unaware of the discussions outside the palace. She followed Yueya around the harem and suddenly remembered something.

The fact that Xiao Xieyun appointed her as a noble concubine must have been known to everyone in the palace, and it would spread outside the palace sooner or later.

However, it seems that Xiao Xieyun only announced the news that she became a royal concubine, and did not announce her divorce from Zhao Linjian! !

Thinking of this, Ying Xixi turned around and asked Yueya.

"Yueya, do you know that I have divorced Zhao Linjian?"

Upon hearing this, Yueya's eyes widened a bit, "My Lady, have you divorced?"

Ying Xixi understood, it seemed that Yueya really didn't know about this.

Yueya is now her personal maid, and even Yueya doesn't know about this...

Let alone others.

So those who know now that she has become a noble concubine don’t know that she had already divorced Zhao Linjian before she became a noble concubine.

Ying Xixi didn't even have the heart to think about what people outside would say about Xiao Xieyun.

The tyrant has stepped up to seize the wives of his subjects and forcefully take over widows. I’m afraid his reputation will be ruined!

Ying Xixi looked at Yueya, who still looked surprised and confused, and explained.

"Yueya, Zhao Linjian and I have already divorced, and I have the divorce papers.

But Your Majesty did not make my divorce public.

Now that Your Majesty has suddenly appointed me as a noble concubine and issued an imperial decree, I am afraid that Your Majesty will be misunderstood by many people.

So, I need your help.”

Upon hearing this, Yueya's expression became serious and she immediately expressed her loyalty.

"My lady, although I have only been serving you for a few days.

But Your Majesty has said that Your Majesty is my master, and I must do whatever Your Majesty orders.

Don't worry, Madam, I will do whatever you want me to do!"

Ying Xixi was a little surprised. She didn't expect Xiao Xieyun to say such a thing to Yueya...

She felt bitter and didn't want Xiao Xieyun's already bad reputation to get worse because of her.

"Come here with your ears."

Ying Xixi whispered something to Yueya.

"Yes! I understand! But Madam, I still have to accompany you to choose a palace..."

Yueya was in trouble.

Now the Imperial Concubine has only one useful palace maid by her side. If she goes out to do something, what will the Imperial Concubine do?

Ying Xixi knew Yueya’s worry and patted her shoulder.

"No problem, I already know the way, I can just walk around the palace.

I'll wait for you here in one stick of incense."

"Okay! Don't worry, Madam! I will never let you down!"

Yueya said this in a decisive tone, took the things Ying Xixi handed over, turned around and ran away.

Ying Xixi watched Yueya run away and looked around.

She and Yueya seemed to have unknowingly arrived near the palace where the Queen Mother lived.

She hesitated for a moment whether to walk further away and visit other palaces.

But before she could turn around, she saw the palace door not far away being pushed open, and the queen dowager ran out again.

Just like the last time I saw her, the Queen Mother looked crazy, muttering to herself, and two palace maids were chasing her.

Ying Xixi stood where she was, watching the Queen Mother running towards her again.

She could only reach out and grab the Queen Mother to stop her from running.

This time she saw the Queen Mother's appearance clearly.

Xiao Xieyun looks at least 70% like the Queen Mother.

Anyone who sees them knows that they are biological mother and son.

The empress dowager looked well-maintained and it was hard to tell that she had a son as old as Xiao Xieyun.

But the Queen Mother looked dazed and insane.

His eyes seemed to be stuck in some memory and couldn't get out.

Completely cut off from the real world.

She murmured, "He is not a human being! He is so cruel! He is not my son! No!"

Ying Xixi's eyebrows twitched.

"Miss!"

The two palace maids who had chased after them smiled apologetically at Ying Xixi, then pulled the empress dowager back, one on the left and one on the right.

Ying Xixi looked at the Queen Mother and frowned.

She asked the system in her mind.

"System, do you know if the Queen Mother has any other sons besides Xiao Xieyun?"

[Everyone who is reliable knows about this!]

The Queen Mother also has two biological sons, who are the protagonist’s younger brothers.

The previous emperor had a total of ten sons. In the end, the male protagonist ascended the throne, and the other nine princes all died!

It is said that all nine princes died at the hands of the male protagonist!

This is also one of the reasons why the male protagonist got the name of tyrant. 】
