Crazy Queen, Striving to Become the Most Beautiful Lady in the Harem

Chapter 241 The Secret of That Year

"Chen Xier, I summoned the prime minister's wife into the palace because at that time, the prime minister's legitimate son was of marriageable age. I wanted to marry you to the prime minister's legitimate son. He is handsome and gentle, and the prime minister's family has been a scholarly family for generations. They have a respected position in the court. I wanted to issue an edict. If it was successful, you would be the prime minister's daughter-in-law, and you would get what you wanted. It was you who ruined your own path, and it was you who chose the path you are on today."

When Chen Xier heard this, she was struck by lightning. She was completely dumbfounded. Her face turned red, her whole body was trembling, and she shook her head frantically.

"No, it's possible, Lin Junxue, don't lie to me here, I'm about to die, why are you still lying to me, why are you letting me die in uneasiness, I was just the daughter of a low-ranking official at the time, how could the Prime Minister's wife choose me, it's impossible"

As if trying to convince herself, Chen Xier murmured over and over again,

Chen Xier still refused to repent.

Chen Xier just didn't want to admit Lin Junxue's sincerity.

Next to her, Danzhen couldn't stand it anymore. She stepped forward and looked at Chen Xier with disgust.

"Back then, the Prime Minister's wife really looked down on you, but it was our queen who promised her that she would use a rich dowry, ask the emperor to personally issue an order, and let the general adopt you as his daughter to ensure that you would marry in style. Only then did the Prime Minister's wife finally give in. Over the years, our queen has done everything for you and has never felt sorry for you, but you have been scheming against her. It's our queen's sincerity that has gone to waste."

Danzhen was so angry that she couldn't help but tell the truth.

After hearing Danzhen's words, Chen Xier looked at Lin Junxue in dismay.

It turns out that Lin Junxue really did so much for her back then?

Was she wrong?

Is she really wrong?

If she had been able to marry the prime minister's son back then, how could she have fallen to this state now?

It was not until this moment that Chen Xier finally felt a trace of regret in her heart.

Danzhen finished speaking and retreated to Lin Junxue's side.

Lin Junxue looked at Chen Xier who was crying bitterly, and once again told her a secret from the past.

He dropped a bombshell that left Chen Xier with regret.

"Do you know that you have missed a truly good man? In fact, even if I had agreed to all these things from the Prime Minister's wife, in the end, it was not these conditions that made her agree, but the Prime Minister's legitimate son. A few years ago, he had seen you at a banquet that you and I attended, and he thought you were gentle and tender, and fell in love with you at first sight. It was he who begged his father and mother to agree to this, and he also begged the Prime Minister's wife that if you married in and gave birth to a child, he would not take a concubine, and from now on, you would be the only one."

Chen Xier's mind exploded instantly. She was trembling all over and her expression was stiff, as if countless voices were gnawing at her heart.

She knows nothing at all?

The prime minister’s son?

Chen Xier suddenly remembered that at the banquet that year, a graceful and elegant man asked her name. Was it him?

After a pause, Lin Junxue said calmly, "Chen Xier, you always say that you are overshadowed by me and no one pays attention to you. You are biased. There was once a good man who loved you and gave you his heart. He even promised to marry you in front of his parents. You missed the true love in this world. Now, do you regret it?"

Chen Xier covered her head and banged her head frantically, roaring like a wild beast.

"Ah, ah, ah, no, it's not like that... No..."

Lin Junxue took a step back, turned around, and said to Danzhen, "Let's go."

Chen Xier looked at Lin Junxue's back.

"Lin Junxue, I didn't lose to you. In this life, I didn't lose. I was not wrong. I was not wrong."

Lin Junxue took Danzhen out of the Xianya Palace

Gao Cheng and his men were waiting not far away. When they saw Lin Junxue coming out, they went to greet her.

"May the Queen be blessed with good health and happiness"

Lin Junxue said, "Lady Xi has gone mad, Eunuch Gao please go in."

Gao Cheng nodded and said, "Then I will go in first."

Gao Cheng led his men into the bedroom, and soon there was no movement inside.

Lin Junxue took Danzhen back to Zhonghe Palace.

Chen Xier died. This favorite concubine in the harem had her property confiscated and her family exterminated in just a few days.

In the end, he was sentenced to death by a cup of poison, and it was inevitable that everyone would sigh.

But the fighting in the harem will not stop just because a favorite concubine died.

As long as there are women, there will be endless fighting in the harem.

Zhonghe Palace

Lin Junxue washed her hands, changed into a clean dress, and Qiao Xin walked in.

"Your Majesty, just now, Chen Xier's body has been transported out. The emperor has ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to dispose of it as they wish."

Lin Junxue picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"The emperor's favor is sometimes worse than poison."

Qiao Xin sighed

"Your Majesty, Chen Xier was favored for many years, but in the end, her body was abandoned in the wilderness. Even though Chen Xier did many evil things, I think the emperor is really cruel."

Lin Junxue said, "Chen Xier has done so many things, Xie Yu knows that he is naturally angry. For the emperor, what makes him more angry is probably not the evil things Chen Xier has done, but because he was wrong. He thought Chen Xier was the flawless and gentle woman in his heart, so he doted on her for so many years. Now, it's all fake."

The proud and conceited Xie Yu thought about how he had been deceived for so many years. In the past few days, Xie Yu probably had no intention of entering the harem again.

Danzhen came in and put the cakes that had just been made in the kitchen on the table.

"My Lady, today, as I watched Chen Xier act crazy, I'm sure she will have some regrets in the end."

Lin Junxue said, "Regret it or not, there is no chance to start over in life. You choose your own path. Now, she is dead, and someone will soon come back."

The person Lin Junxue was referring to was naturally the Queen Mother.

Lin Junxue thought that the Queen Mother had placed Chen Xier next to Xie Yu back then, simply to place her people in the harem after Xie Yu ascended the throne in the future.

Ultimately, the goal of controlling the harem is achieved and the power of the harem is firmly in his hands.

However, the Queen Mother could not do this in public, otherwise, Xie Yu would be dissatisfied with her for extending her hand too far.

The Queen Mother raised Xie Yu herself, so she naturally knew his character best, so she approached the ambitious Chen Xier.

Chen Xier had indeed been favored by Xie Yu for many years, and the original owner was only a queen in name only.

Three years ago, because of the incident between the eldest princess and the Buddhist disciple, the Queen Mother and Xie Yu went to Yushan to worship Buddha in anger.

He hasn't returned for three years, probably because he has great confidence in Chen Xier as a chess piece.

More than a year ago, the original owner was confined to her house, and the Queen Mother found the right time to attack the original owner, and the original owner died.

The Queen Mother probably never expected that the original owner was dead, but she ended up traveling back to the original owner's body.

And now, the news of Chen Xier's death will probably reach the ears of Empress Dowager Yushan soon.

If nothing unexpected happens, the empress dowager, whom I have never met, will soon return to the palace.
