Transmigrating into a Big Villain in the Book

Chapter 276: Purify the Harem

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Ke Ruan couldn’t help frowning when he heard the cries get louder and messier. He looked at Xiaoluzi beside him and asked, “What happened?”

Xiaoluzi lowered his head and replied respectfully, “My esteemed empress, before His Majesty left, he ordered that all the concubines in the harem, regardless of their status and positions, must leave the palace before His Majesty returns in triumph.”

Ke Ruan was stunned, “Everyone?”

“Yes!” Xiaoluzi continued and said, “Please don’t worry, my esteemed empress. His Majesty promises that all the concubines who have a good family background could go home if they are willing. And those who are unwilling to go back will get enough money to get settled. His Imperial Majesty also gave them the writ of special amnesty and no one can have the slightest discrimination against them.”

Ke Ruan never thought that Si Yuhan would have done so much. To be honest, he never thought that Si Yuhan would be able to stay with him for the rest of his life. After all, he had seen too much temptation for an emperor. Even in modern times of monogamy, many couples are still strange bedfellows.

“Empress, Empress!”

Ke Ruan came back to his sense and nodded. “I know. Now that Si Yuhan has taken care of it, I don’t need to worry about it. ”

Just as he was about to leave, someone nearby seemed to see him and shouted, “Empress.”

The messy shouts suddenly stopped for a few seconds, followed by the sound of heavy footsteps and breathing.

Looking at the throng of women, whose ferocious faces still vaguely visible, Ke Ruan couldn’t help but take two steps back.

Before they could get close to Ke Ruan, there were more than ten people in black in front of Ke Ruan. They looked at them expressionlessly.

The concubines were all stunned. These people who ran in front suddenly stopped, but the people behind them had no choice but to fall onto the people in front of them.

For an instant, Ke Ruan felt the colors in front of her was mingled, and the sound of bodies falling to the ground was accompanied by a cry of pain from one after another.

Ke Ruan couldn’t help twitching the corners of his mouth. Even he could feel their pain.

The resentment that the concubines had towards Ke Ruan disappeared when they saw the men in black with their swords.

They knelt on the ground, not daring to get up.

Ke Ruan touched his nose and said,  “You can leave now.”

These words were said to these people in black. He has always known that Si Yuhan was worried about him and had arranged a lot of people around him, so she was not surprised at these people who suddenly appeared.

After the men in black left, Ke Ruan looked at them and asked, “Can I help you?”

The concubines didn’t dare say anything for a moment. They might have been frightened by the men in black.

Ke Ruan sighed and said, “If you have any other requirements, please feel free to ask. Do you have any problems or are you lack of money?”

The concubines turned angry again as soon as these words came out. They thought that Ke Ruan didn’t know about it but it turns out she did.

“My esteemed empress, we don’t want to leave the palace. We are willing to be maids, as long as we are allowed to stay here.”

Before Ke Ruan could say anything, Xiaoluzi blurted out, “His Majesty has orders that no one could disobey, or he will be killed .”

Xiaoluzi’s words completely made the concubines’ face turned as pale as ashes. It seemed that there was really no room for manoeuvre in this matter.

Even though Si Yuhan had given them a special pardon, how could anyone dare to marry them after they left the imperial palace. Even if they go back home, how can their families possibly treat them well when they are no longer of any use?
