Chapter 102 The concubine who died young in the novel "The Emperor Takes His Minister's Wi
In the Changhua Palace, in the Imperial Concubine's bedchamber, Leyan was fast asleep and unable to break free.
Such a familiar experience made Le Yan realize immediately that she was about to receive another book.
Le Yan calmly watched as another glittering golden book popped into her mind; she had grown accustomed to it.
She was even a little curious about what this story would be about.
Then I came across a novel called "Tyrant's Forced Love: The Spoiled Concubine Can't Escape".
Putting aside how indescribable the book title was for Le Yan, just seeing the words "forced love" made her a little excited.
She was very familiar with this stuff; in the novels she used to read, the forced love series made up a huge portion of the genre.
Combining this with the factors of ancient tyrants, Le Yan instantly realized that this was probably not a novel about a ruler taking his subject's wife.
With a suspicion in mind, Le Yan opened the book and read it quickly. Sure enough, it was a story about a ruler taking his subject's wife.
In this book, Le Yan's character remains a minor character who appears in less than three chapters.
Just as the original owner thought before the talent show, she wanted to assassinate the tyrant and then enjoy the achievement of exterminating nine generations of her family. In the book, she did exactly that.
The tyrant in the book, who is also the male protagonist Emperor Kangning Xiao Qi, also went hunting outside the city during the final selection.
It was during this hunting trip that he met his destined heroine, Liu Chutang, the newlywed wife of Grand Secretary Wen Yingchen.
Just like the plot in all novels about a ruler seizing his subject's wife, Xiao Qi was accidentally drugged and needed a woman to cure him. Unfortunately, they went to a barren mountain, making it difficult to find a woman quickly.
But then Liu Chutang led her people to that barren mountain, and was immediately captured by the chief eunuch beside Xiao Qi, who then used her as an antidote for Xiao Qi.
Although he is an emperor with three palaces and six courtyards, Xiao Qi, as a tyrannical male protagonist, would not touch other women before meeting the female protagonist. His hobby in life is killing. When he suddenly met the female protagonist, he immediately became addicted and wanted to bring Liu Chutang back to the palace.
However, Liu Chutang was a court lady and loved Wen Yingchen, so she naturally did not want to enter the palace, and the two began to entangle themselves.
Xiao Qi was violent and tyrannical, and no one could ever defy him except for Liu Chutang. The more she resisted, the more he held on to her.
The first time was at the Kushan Ancient Temple. Later, he went straight into the house and forcibly dragged Liu Chutang into the Wen family's brothel. Several times, they were almost discovered by Wen Yingchen.
He forced Liu Chutang to divorce him, but she refused. So he pressed her even harder until he finally devised a plan to make Wen Yingchen discover their affair. He then openly took Liu Chutang into the palace and made her his empress.
As the chief minister, Wen Yingchen was naturally unwilling to let the matter rest after being so humiliated by his newlywed wife and the emperor he served. So he supported a prince who had escaped death at Xiao Qi's hands and raised an army in rebellion.
However, he was not the male lead, so his rebellion failed, and he was ultimately defeated and captured by Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi wanted to cut off his head, but Liu Chutang pleaded for him. Although he didn't die, his legs were crippled, leaving him a cripple who had to eke out a living.
That concludes the general content of this book.
This left Leyan in awe, and her face turned slightly yellow.
After all, there are so many explicit descriptions of the male and female protagonists in this book, she seriously suspects that it is actually a shoddy novel!
Otherwise, how could there be so much yellow waste?
Le Yan slowly opened her eyes, looking at the curtains above her head, the book in her mind still clearly visible.
If reality is correct, then at this point, the male protagonist should already be under the influence of the drug, and the female protagonist will soon be captured to serve as the antidote for him.
However, it turns out the tyrant didn't touch any of the concubines in the harem. So, what about Consort An...?
After muttering to herself for a moment, Le Yan sat up. She was just thinking about it in her head; she couldn't very well go up to Song Xue'an and ask her if she had ever served the emperor, could she?
Le Yan slowly got out of bed, searching her mind for Song Xue'an's fate in the book.
After reading the latter part, which describes Xiao Qi dismissing the harem and the former imperial concubine Song Xue'an going to guard the border with her father, Marquis Weiwu, fulfilling her lifelong wish, Le Yan was somewhat happy.
A daughter of a military family should not be confined to the harem.
She was genuinely happy for Song Xue'an in the book and couldn't help but look forward to how things would develop in real life.
If reality were like the book, Song Xue'an could also go to the border region she loves, join the army, guard the border, and do what she wants to do.
When you're happy, your joy is written all over your face.
Her eyes and brows were full of smiles, which made Song Xue'an, who had just entered the hall, a little curious. "What's wrong? Did you have a sweet dream?"
Le Yan looked up at her, smiling brightly, "Sister An, I really had a beautiful dream."
She spoke earnestly, yet with a hint of distress, "But I can't remember what dream I had."
Seeing this, Song Xue'an gently stroked her head and smiled, "It's good that you can't remember. As the old saying goes, good dreams don't need to be thought of, they will come true."
"Mm!" Le Yan nodded, looking like she believed her words very easily.
Song Xue'an immediately teased her, "Aren't you afraid of being fooled by me?"
Le Yan shook her head vigorously, her expression resolute, "I'm not afraid."
Song Xuean was both happy and worried about this. If they were so easy to fool, what if she was deceived?
After thinking for a moment, she instructed, "The palace is not like the outside world. You need to be more careful in the future, you know?"
Feeling that simply giving such instructions wasn't enough, Song Xue'an went further and said, "Just remember, in this palace, only I will not hurt you or deceive you. Don't believe anything else you say, understand?"
Le Yan blinked. "Including the Emperor?"
"Including!" Song Xuean answered without hesitation.
The person you need to be most wary of in this palace is that tyrannical emperor.
A sudden unease welled up in Song Xue'an's heart, and she quickly grabbed Le Yan's hand, saying, "Yan Yan, since you don't want to serve the emperor anyway, how about I announce to the public that you made a mistake and were punished by being confined to your quarters?"
In this way, at least few people will pay attention to her.
Even if she went to the Emperor's side, she could say that she, as a concubine, was tormenting an innocent newcomer, and that the Emperor would not notice Leyan's existence because of her.
Song Xuean genuinely cared for Le Yan and considered her needs, so Le Yan naturally wouldn't refuse. She nodded directly and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Sister An."
Whether it's a real or fake confinement, she'll just stay in Changhua Palace and won't dare to run around.
If you're not careful, you could really lose your life.
