Chapter 196: Chapter 66 Demon Concubine

"Lowly concubine Yaoyao, greeting Noble Princess Consort Luo and Lord Grand Protector."

The woman bowed gracefully, her seductive eyes like silk, exuding indescribable allure that could soften a man’s bones at the sound of her voice.

Even Noble Princess Consort Luo, a woman herself, felt her ears heat and heart race at the sight of her; one could only imagine how Emperor Xia would be utterly enchanted upon meeting her.

"Presenting her to the Emperor would surely distract him from Empress Liu. This woman is not only exceptionally beautiful but also skilled in bewitching hearts, most importantly, she is a Female Alchemist, adept in Alchemy and Divination." Noble Princess Consort Luo, suppressing the jealousy in her heart, refrained from looking further at the woman.

Hong Fang instantly understood the implications; it seems for Crown Prince Hong to ascend to the throne, Noble Princess Consort Luo would spare no effort, going as far as to renounce her own desires.

A woman, when ruthless, can be even more decisive than a man.

Hong Fang promptly left with Yaoyao.

In the secret chamber, Noble Princess Consort Luo walked to a mirror in the corner.

She gently tapped the mirror, and the reflection of Noble Princess Consort Luo began to blur, rippling like water across the mirror surface.

In the mirror, the figure of a man was faintly visible, though unfortunately, the rippling made it difficult to discern his features clearly.

Upon seeing the man, Noble Princess Consort Luo’s face lit up with joy, and she knelt down.

"Luo Wan, have you followed my orders and given the Reincarnation Elixir to Hong Fang?"

"Master, everything has been done as you instructed. Hong Fang truly could not resist the temptation and has become my minion," Noble Princess Consort Luo spoke reverently to the man, yet her gaze carried a hint of affection. "But, Wan’er doesn’t understand, Master, why would you introduce such a fox spirit to Emperor Xia?"

Seeing Yaoyao had filled Noble Princess Consort Luo with bitterness.

Especially considering Yaoyao’s seductive demeanor, who has been by the Master’s side all these years, something Noble Princess Consort Luo could never have.

Sensing the jealousy in Noble Princess Consort Luo’s tone, the man laughed heartily, his voice suggesting he was a charming middle-aged man quite popular with women.

"Luo Wan, put aside your petty jealousy. Yaoyao is my disciple, and with her help, our son can become the Emperor of Daxia."

Crown Prince Hong, isn’t Emperor Xia’s biological son?

Mentioning their common son, Noble Princess Consort Luo’s worries turned to joy.

Indeed, the Master was such an eminent figure, and among the thousands of beautiful female disciples following him, only she alone was chosen to bear his offspring.

Noble Princess Consort Luo thought of her years of forbearance in Daxia Palace; once Emperor Xia dies and son Crown Prince Hong ascends the throne, the Master’s long-planned scheme will succeed, and by then, she would be the Empress Dowager of Daxia, and the Master would be the Supreme Retired Emperor of Daxia.

"Wan’er admits her mistake," Noble Princess Consort Luo quickly changed her tone.

"There’s another matter, are you certain that the Sixth Prince has recovered? And also become a Five Rank Alchemist?" Mirror Person asked.

The time the Sixth Prince suffered from deviation due to improper practice of alchemy and years of madness, it was all orchestrated by this Mirror Person. Otherwise, how would the Noble Princess Consort Luo know the harmful methods only known to Alchemists?

"Long Yu, that old man, has confirmed it himself. It’s strange, didn’t you say that Xiahou Qi’s deviation couldn’t even be cured directly by you, my master? Could it really be the heavenly blessing that the damned Empress Dowager mentioned?" Noble Princess Consort Luo was still superstitiously doubtful.

After all, the blooming of the five-colored peony and the recovery of the Sixth Prince from his deviation, these events occurring simultaneously were too mysterious.

"Hmph, Daxia is but a small kingdom, how could it receive such great fortune? It must be man-made. I will have someone secretly investigate this matter, you don’t need to worry about it, just wait for news of Yaoyao." The figure in the mirror disappeared, and the secret chamber returned to silence.

A few days later, Hong Fang and Emperor Xia went hunting in the eastern suburbs. During the hunt, Emperor Xia’s arrow accidentally wounded a woman passing by, who was then brought back to the palace by Emperor Xia.

The next day, Emperor Xia announced that he was conferring the title of Yao Concubine on this woman.

This event seemed quite accidental, and neither Empress Liu nor the Empress Dowager paid much attention to it. After all, within the Xia Palace, there were many concubines and it was common for Emperor Xia to confer titles on new concubines.

However, gradually, various concubines and talents from different palaces came crying to Empress Liu’s palace, saying that since the Emperor had conferred the title on Yao Concubine, he stayed overnight in her palace and refused to leave.

Other concubines needed Yao Concubine’s permission even to see the Emperor.

These concubines all pleaded, saying that the rules of the harem had always been fair, and Yao Concubine had broken these rules, deserving severe punishment. They appealed to the Empress, as the head of the harem, to uphold justice for them.

"This matter, I have my own plans, you all may go back," Empress Liu responded calmly after hearing this.

After those concubines had dispersed, Ye Lingyue and her mother came out.

It was coincidental that today Ye Lingyue was accompanying Lady Lan to visit the Empress to talk and relax, and they had just happened upon this scene.

"Did you all hear that? Do you find anything amiss?" Empress Liu had learnt a lot after the incident with the Sixth Prince; she had met Yao Concubine when she entered the palace and found her indeed to be a charming and pleasing person.

"It is indeed strange, logically speaking, Emperor Xia favoring one person excessively, the first to make a fuss should have been Noble Princess Consort Luo," Ye Lingyue often visited the palace and had heard that Noble Princess Consort Luo was particularly jealous.

Empress Liu had secluded herself in Chaohua Palace in recent years, and every time Emperor Xia slightly favored a newly titled concubine more, Noble Princess Consort Luo would make a scene. However, this time, she remained quiet.

"Do not act unless the enemy does, but still, Your Majesty, it would be prudent to investigate the background of the newcomer Yao Concubine," Lady Lan also thought that since Yao Concubine was currently favored and Empress Liu had just regained her power, it was not a time for a direct confrontation.

Empress Liu held her troops, and Noble Princess Consort Luo was also able to keep her composure. The two power factions in the harem were unusually aligned in their approaches this time.

Seeing that the Empress appeared "afraid" of Yao Concubine, those concubines turned to complain to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager was initially reluctant to meddle in these harem disputes, but the more she heard, the more troubled she became.

Emperor Xia was already in his forties, physically well past his prime, but ever since Yao Concubine appeared, it seemed like he had returned to his vigorous youth, spending every night in Yao Concubine’s palace indulging in love all night long.

"The concubines heard that Yao Concubine presented a health-preserving elixir to the Emperor, and after taking the elixir, the Emperor became even more fond of her. The concubines suspect that those elixirs are harmful, and if the Emperor continues to take them, they will undoubtedly harm his royal health," the worried words of those concubines greatly unsettled the Empress Dowager.
