Men of the Harem (137 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 248
The maids misunderstood Aini’s pale, ashen expression. Believing the Empress was terrified by the mention of the head, they quickly forced cheerful smiles and tried to comfort her.
“Don’t worry, Your Majesty. It’s gone now.”
“If it still bothers you, perhaps you’d like to change rooms?”
Aini shook her head and unsteadily rose to her feet. She walked over to the wardrobe, trembling violently as she opened the door. Seeing the box completely empty, she squeezed her eyes shut. Her mind went blank, emptied entirely.
“Your Majesty?”
Only then did the maids sense something was wrong and approach her.
“Are you alright?”
“What’s wrong?”
“Your Majesty, shall we call the court physician?”
Yet, seemingly unwilling to believe the Empress had personally held Prince Heum’s head, they avoided voicing such thoughts despite suspecting them.
In a low, strained voice, Aini barely managed to ask,
“Where… where has the head gone?”
No one answered. Suppressing her rising anger, Aini repeated,
“I asked where the head went.”
One of the maids finally whispered in a quavering voice,
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
