The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 443 Steal

Eunuch Guo looked at Chu Yanqiu's condition and asked about the medicinal herbs Chu Yanqiu usually used. He even comforted Master Ji and his wife, saying that when he returned to the palace, he would ask the emperor to send the best medicinal herbs in the palace to Lord Chu.

After seeing Chu Yanqiu, Eunuch Guo took his men and left the Ji Guogong Mansion. As soon as they walked out of Chu Yanqiu's courtyard, a little eunuch quietly came up to Eunuch Guo, took Eunuch Guo's hand as if to support him, but whispered something in his mouth. Eunuch Guo immediately felt better, quickened his pace, and quickly left the Ji Guogong Mansion.

Since it doesn't work openly, why not do it secretly? This time he was well prepared and brought many secret guards with him. He made a feint to the east and attacked in the west, so the secret guards did it secretly and smoothly, and quietly got the unconscious Miss Shen out of Duke Ji's mansion.

The secret guards carried Shen Wen out of Duke Ji's mansion and quickly returned to the palace via a covert route.

Shen Wen, who was placed in the back room of the bedroom, was tormented by them and slept uneasily with a frown on his brow. The palace maid who was accompanying him thought that Shen Wen was about to wake up.

Shen Wen was sleeping in a dream and had been entangled with the things in the dream for a long time, so long that she herself realized that she was in a dream and had to work hard to break free from the dream in order to be free.

Ji Xun appeared again in his dream. This time, he was very dissatisfied with her clumsy behavior. He shook his head in disappointment and said, "Where is the Cunxin Sword I gave you? You had a sword in your hand, yet you still ended up in such a tragic end."

Shen Wen is really out of line. What Cunxin Sword? He hasn't even touched the real Cunxin Sword, okay?

Shen Wen couldn't help but snort angrily, "Please! How did you hand the sword to me? I even suspected that your Cunxin Sword was just an imaginary sword. Did you forget that you showed it to me in a dream, and then... then the sword disappeared out of thin air. How could I get that sword to deal with that crazy woman Yuchi Lian? Don't you know? You've hurt me terribly. Do you know that crazy apprentice of yours is even more terrifying than the devil? I've died at her hands many times, and every time I died in great pain."

Ji Xun looked at Shen Wen, who just shook his head. He said, "Cunxin, Cunxin, that sword is the sword in your heart. It is because you have a sword in your heart that it has transformed for you. You silly girl, now that I have enlightened you, do you understand how to get that sword and use it for your own benefit?"

Shen Wen opened her mouth wide and looked at Ji Xun in disbelief. She couldn't help but look at her hands.

So the following situations in the dream all revolved around how to take out the Cunxin Sword.

With the ever-changing dreams, Shen Wen encountered many strange things. He always encountered the long-awaited Cunxin Sword at the critical moment, but an accident always happened when the Cunxin Sword was about to appear. All these things made Shen Wen exhausted.

The young emperor had seen Shen Wen at night. During the day, he had lost his temper in the imperial study because he hadn't found Shen Wen. He casually summoned Eunuch Guo, but he didn't show up. He was about to lose his temper again, but fortunately, Eunuch Guo returned at the critical moment and told the young emperor that Miss Shen had been found. The young emperor was very happy and wanted to get up immediately to go to the palace to see Miss Shen, but at that moment, his uncle, who had been crazy for many days, arrived, and the young emperor had to chat about state affairs with his uncle first.

This time, the emperor's uncle came to the palace in person. He looked much more energetic than usual and looked no different from his normal self.

Prince Rui's words this time were all about state affairs and military affairs. In less than three sentences, he was talking about the border wars and the powerful relationships between the key figures at each border. Every word he said made sense and was implicit. Finally, Prince Rui said, "As a prince of a country, I have responsibilities to my country. I also want to do my part for my country. Your Majesty, I am willing to go to the border to resist foreign forces."

When the young emperor heard him say this, he paused for a moment, not knowing what to say. After a moment's silence, the young emperor said, "Since your uncle wants to serve the country, has he considered going to that border to handle the war for me?"

Prince Rui said, "It is entirely up to Your Majesty. If Your Majesty wants me to go to that border, I will go immediately."

The little emperor thought for a moment and said, "How about we go to the southwest coast to suppress the bandits?"

Prince Rui said very respectfully, "Your humble servant will obey the emperor's order."

The young emperor could not have imagined that his uncle would agree so readily. Now that things have come to this point, the young emperor is no longer as naive as before. His uncle seems absurd and has even acted crazy and stupid recently, but the power he possesses is terrifying.

The young emperor's mind raced, pondering the implications of his uncle's actions. He addressed Prince Rui, "Uncle, have you truly decided to go to the southwest coast to suppress bandits? You must understand that wars are raging across our land right now, and the troops I can provide you are far less than you imagine. You might only be allocated a few thousand men. So, are you willing to go?"

When Prince Rui heard the young emperor's words, a look of sorrow appeared on his face. He said solemnly, "I never thought that Your Majesty, the ruler of a country, would be forced into such a predicament. Even if you don't have many troops to send, I will not retreat. I am willing to share your worries."

Looking at his uncle's loyalty, the young emperor still had doubts about him, but he agreed and said that he would summon several military ministers to the palace in the afternoon to discuss the troop deployment and then give Prince Rui a reply.

Prince Rui temporarily took his leave.

As soon as Prince Rui walked out of the imperial study, he was confirmed in his guess.

The person sitting in that position at this time was indeed not his father, but his nephew, the little emperor.

At the critical moment, it was Lord Shen who was useful to him. If it was really his father who occupied that body, how could he agree to let him lead the troops to suppress the bandits? I'm afraid that as soon as he opened his mouth to mention it, someone would have already sent to capture him and thrown him into a corner and imprisoned him.

For so many days, apart from the time when his father's spirit returned and took away his blood talisman, there has been no other action. It seems that at that time, his father's spirit retreated to the mountains. Otherwise, this bastard son who had been shrinking and growing up in various ways for many years would have been snatched away by his father under various pretexts.

The more Prince Rui thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. Now he walked with confidence, and the fear he had felt towards his father for many days was swept away. Since his tyrannical and evil father would really no longer come to the world, he had nothing to worry about. It was time to take control of the world in his own hands.

Prince Rui was walking on the road to the palace, thinking about all sorts of things, when he suddenly remembered that Lord Shen mentioned Shen Wen in the letter he wrote to him.

He felt that what Lord Shen said was right. In order to prevent his father from coming to the human world again in the future, he had to hold Shen Wen in his own hands. The reason why his father always lingered in the human world was because of his beloved Concubine Xianrou, and because Shen Wen, the descendant of Concubine Xianrou, was still alive in the world. He had to find Shen Wen quickly to ensure safety.

Just as Prince Rui arrived at the palace gate, his personal guard hurried to meet him and whispered in his ear, "Master, we have found what you ordered us to do. The Shen Wen you asked us to find was brought into the palace by Eunuch Guo's men just an hour ago."

Prince Rui was surprised. He asked, "Have you figured it out? Could it be a fake? Yesterday, the secret guards reported that there's always a fake person around Chu Yanqiu, trying to confuse Shen Wen. Chu Yanqiu can't tell the real one from the fake. Have any of you really investigated thoroughly to make sure the one brought into the palace is the real one?"

The personal guard was stunned. He really hadn't thought of this.

Prince Rui thought about it, his expression becoming sinister. He said, "Even if it's fake, I have to get it into my hands first. No matter whether it's real or fake, at worst I can get them all back. If it's real, I'll keep the fake and kill them."

The personal guard rubbed his head, feeling conflicted. He remembered what the prince had just said: even Chu Yanqiu couldn't tell which was real and which was fake. So, if he brought them all back, would the prince be better than Lord Chu? Could he tell the real from the fake at a glance?

Prince Rui was decisive. He ordered his personal guard to leave, and turned around and walked back into the palace.

Prince Rui also has many spies in the palace. Now that they know that Shen Wen has been brought back to the palace, his spies will quickly help him find Shen Wen.

Things happened just as Prince Rui had expected. Just as Prince Rui was walking step by step towards the emperor's bedroom, not long after, a eunuch spy came to see Prince Rui quietly and told him the news.

Prince Rui is very happy!

He also found out that the young emperor had just glanced at Shen Wen and then hurried away, returning to the imperial study to handle government affairs.

Prince Rui asked someone to lead the way and sneaked into the bedroom.

When he slowly lifted the gauze curtain on the bed and saw Shen Wen sleeping, it was as if he had found a priceless treasure. He treasured her so much that he didn't even dare to breathe.

The beloved beauty he had dreamed of was still lying seductively on the bed, waiting for the king to come and pick her up. Prince Rui had completely forgotten his current situation. He quietly lifted a corner of the quilt, and then got into the quilt gorgeously, sharing the same bed with the sleeping Shen Wen.

Prince Rui smelled the body fragrance of Shen Wen and was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He was used to the romantic things he did every day in the mansion. He touched the little face and mouth...

Just when he was acting like a gangster without restraint, Shen Wen, who was being watched by Ji Xun while practicing the Cunxin Sword in his sleep, immediately sensed the situation at this moment.

Ji Xun naturally sensed it as well. He said, "It seems I have to wake up from this dream this time. This matter ends here. Go deal with that person."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Wen, who had been unable to wake up, suddenly opened his eyes.

His sudden opening of his eyes shocked the impudent Prince Rui.

Then the next moment.

Prince Rui flew out from the bed curtain like a cannonball.

Prince Rui was in so much pain that he had difficulty breathing. He struggled to right himself from the ground, but regret filled his head. How could he have forgotten that every time he did something like this, he should have drugged the person in advance to make him soft and unable to move, so that he could do whatever he wanted with him and let him do whatever he wanted with him?

Being kicked out like this made quite a noise, and the palace maids guarding outside hurried to push the door in. At the critical moment, the undercover eunuch who was lying in ambush in the bedroom knocked the two young palace maids unconscious and dragged them away.

Shen Wen pricked up his ears to listen outside and guessed that this might be the result. This also proved that Prince Rui's influence in the palace should not be underestimated. He might have infiltrated the little emperor's territory like a sieve.
