Chapter 168 "The emperor is heartless and has no heirs, and the harem is in dire straits"

Afternoon, Lishui Villa.

The queen arrived here with more than thirty concubines.

It was sunny and warm, and Pu Kun was sitting on a chair on the green grass outside.

Sitting at the bottom is Yu Jinshu.

Yu Jinshu is not wearing a palace dress, but a university sergeant's uniform and a crown. His beautiful face is a bit more heroic, making people unable to take their eyes away.

The queen came with her concubines and saluted Pu Kun.

Pu Kun's handsome face was particularly friendly, not as cold as before.

He looked at the queen and motioned to sit next to him.

The queen was secretly happy when she saw that the emperor still gave her enough face outside.

Pu Kun looked at the concubines and said, "Did you meet the one you liked in the eldest princess's mansion these days?"

He didn't beat around the bush and asked them directly.

Most of the concubines in the eldest princess's mansion have chosen the one they like, and some of them even had the courage to make a private decision for life.

Yu Jinshu didn't see her sister-in-law Ning Fei Yu Meilian in the crowd, and her eyes darkened.

Could it be that Yu Meilian didn't leave the palace?

Or is it that Yu Meilian didn't come to the appointment?

Concubine Duan came out and knelt down towards Pu Kun: "Your Majesty, I would like to thank you for your kindness and allowing me to find the one you love. I request you to give me a letter of divorce and allow me to marry someone else."

With Concubine Duan taking the lead, more than a dozen concubines knelt down one after another and begged the emperor for a letter of divorce.

Pu Kun said: "There is no need for a divorce letter. I will arrange to give each of you a document stating that you will leave the palace and return home, allowing you to remarry. I will also arrange for each of you to carry a dowry of 100 yuan and send it to your home."

He looked at the dozen or so people who had not come to request, "You should also leave the palace and return home! It's not worth wasting your time in the palace and being lonely all your life."

What this means is that you don’t expect me to like you either. Leaving the palace and returning home is the best way out.

More than a dozen concubines looked at each other, wiped away tears, stood up unwillingly, and knelt out.

Pu Kun said: "You all get up! Have a good day here today, and I will send you home tomorrow."

The concubines all stood up and sat down one after another.

Pu Kun looked at Queen Xu Hua again: "Queen, I will give you and Li Shu together with a dowry of two hundred dollars."

Xu Hua had long expected that the emperor would say this, so she quickly stood up, walked out, and knelt down in front of Pu Kun.

"Your Majesty, I love you deeply, and I am willing to accompany you in the palace until you grow old."

Pu Kun said: "Queen, you have to think carefully. If you leave the palace, you will be able to find a suitable husband based on your conditions."

Xu Hua said: "Your Majesty, I love you deeply. Only the emperor is my ideal husband."

She looked determined to defend the harem.

Pu Kun sighed slightly: "Forget it, since you don't want to leave the pavilion and return home, then that's up to you. Just don't blame me in the future."

Xu Hua said nothing.

Pu Kun said: "Get up! Come back to the palace with me tomorrow. You can eat and drink as much as you need outside the palace today. You must have a lot of fun. When you return to the palace tomorrow, you will have no chance to leave the palace. .”

"Yes." Xu Hua stood up and sat back next to Pu Kun.

Pu Kun looked at Yu Jinshu, his expression immediately became gentle, and he waved to Yu Jinshu, gesturing for her to sit closer to her.

When Yu Jinshu stood up, the guard next to him helped Yu Jinshu move the chair so that she could sit next to the emperor.

As for Queen Xu Hua, although she was sitting next to the emperor, she was slightly further away.

Xu Hua's face darkened, but she didn't say anything.

The maids brought tea, fruits and snacks. Pu Kun asked everyone to play and eat as they pleased. He sat for a while and left with Yu Jinshu.

Xu Hua watched Pu Kun take Yu Jinshu's hand, as if they were a loving couple. She felt jealous, and her hand did not reach her waist.

The purse at her waist contained her secret weapon.

Pu Kun and Yu Jinshu were very tired after traveling for several days and nights on the road, so they went to the bedroom of the villa to rest.

In the bedroom, a pair of mandarin ducks slept for two hours. When they woke up again, it was almost dark.

After getting enough sleep, Pu Kun was in great spirits. He was at an age when his body was as strong as an ox, so he couldn't easily let go of his Jin Shu, so naturally he had to linger a lot.

When the two of them walked out of the bedroom satisfied, they realized that their stomachs were already growling with hunger.

Today's plan is to have a dinner for everyone to eat together.

Pu Kun took Yu Jinshu's hand to the banquet hall and saw the queen and more than thirty concubines waiting inside, while the maids were serving dishes.

It seems that they are all waiting hungry.

The queen and concubines all stood up and saluted the emperor.

Yu Jinshu noticed that most of the concubines no longer had such jealous expressions towards her.

Queen Xu Hua looked very gentle at this moment, and she got up and walked towards her.

"Master Yu, we have all heard about your achievements. No wonder the emperor loves you so much, and I am convinced."

Pu Kun took his seat, with Yu Jinshu and Xu Hua sitting next to him.

"Eat it!"

Pu Kun picked up a piece of meat with jade chopsticks and handed it to Yu Jinshu's bowl.

Xu Hua was not angry, and looked resigned and convinced.

Everyone started eating.

Yu Jinshu was hungry, and she had eaten a lot.

Finally, she smiled and said to Pu Kun: "Your Majesty, I seem to have eaten a little too much. I need to go out for a walk to eat."

Pu Kun stood up: "I will go with you."

Xu Hua watched Pu Kun take Yu Jinshu's hand and walk out of the banquet hall, and then a coldness appeared in her eyes.

Not long after, news came out in the banquet hall that Yu Jinshu had suffered from diarrhea, saying that he had been to the latrine several times.

Xu Hua couldn't hide her joy, but soon her face darkened and she looked anxious, saying that she wanted to see Yu Jinshu.

The poison she gave to Yu Jinshu was prepared by her earlier. After eating it, it will cause constant diarrhea. There is no cure, and the poison will continue until the person loses all energy and spirit, and eventually dies.

The bedroom where the emperor and Yu Jinshu lived was brightly lit that night.

Xu Hua sent someone to inquire about it and said that Yu Jinshu had lost his temper and turned pale. The emperor had invited the imperial physician to come, but he was not feeling well after taking the decoction.

"That's great. Once Yu Jinshu died, all the concubines dispersed. As long as I pay more attention, the emperor will definitely fall in love with me."

She said to Wan Zhu, the palace maid beside her.

Wanzhu whispered: "My Lady, you'd better take out the medicine in your purse and throw it away quickly, before anyone sees it."

Xu Hua handed the purse to Wan Zhu: "Go and get rid of the medicine. There is also a fine jade pendant inside, which I will give to you."

Wanzhu took the purse and said, "Yes, Queen."

She took her purse and walked out.

In the middle of the night, Wan Zhu had just walked out when she was frightened by a black shadow that suddenly appeared.

"Who?"

She found that there was not one dark shadow, but several.
