Chapter 439 This is not the work of the little emperor
The Fairy of Stone Cliff wiped away the tears on Shen Wen's face with her jade fingers. She held Shen Wen in her arms and comforted him, "Don't be sad, my dear child. You still have me. You know that you and I are of the same origin. My flesh and blood grows in you. Give me your whole being and your heart. I will help you fight and avenge your grievances."
At this moment, Shen Wen's broken heart was almost drowned by her considerate words.
Shen Wen leaned her tired body in the arms of the Stone Cliff Fairy. At this moment, she seemed to have found a harbor to dock. The wandering person who had been wandering for many years finally regained warmth.
At the same time outside the dream, the little emperor, who had been guarding Shen Wen for a day and a night, finally left Shen Wen's bedroom and went to the imperial study to handle official business after repeated urging and persuasion from the eunuch Guo.
The little emperor took more than an hour to review the huge pile of memorials, which he wrote in quick cursive.
The little emperor raised his head and took the tea that Eunuch Guo handed him. He took a sip to relieve his fatigue and then asked Eunuch Guo, "The day before yesterday, I heard you say that you went to the Duke of Ji's mansion to see Master Chu. He had just woken up at that time. Did you send anyone to inquire about what Master Chu had been doing until today?"
When Eunuch Guo heard the little emperor mention the news about Lord Chu, his expression was indescribable.
He didn't know how to tell the little emperor.
What did they say? They said the little emperor was sick, suffering from sleepwalking. At night, he seemed to lose himself, and he was so strong that he ran to the palace alone and did some incomprehensible things.
This has happened several times. He has been troubled by the little emperor's illness and has been unable to sleep or eat. He did not dare to invite the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital to treat him. He went to find the national teacher Yi Dao, but Duke Yi Dao was also unreliable. He actually went out for a tour without saying a word at such a critical moment. What an unreliable guy.
Back to the little emperor, he wanted to ask me about Master Chu. Didn't he lead people to the Ji Guogong Mansion to assassinate Master Chu last night? The little emperor came back in the middle of the night and told me this in person.
Eunuch Guo was quick to react. He quickly replied, "Your Majesty, Lord Chu's condition has worsened over the past two days. I heard that several imperial physicians were called to Duke Ji's residence yesterday. Although Chu Yanqiu is not unconscious like last time, he is now bedridden and unable to get out of bed."
The little emperor said, "Then send a few more imperial physicians to the Duke of Ji's mansion to see the patient. If that doesn't work, use my name to find a few extraordinary doctors from the public and ask a few more doctors to wait outside Chu Yanqiu's room."
Eunuch Guo quickly responded.
After the young emperor said this, he thought of Shen Wen, who was still sleeping in the palace. He couldn't help but ask Eunuch Guo, "Do you think Chu Yanqiu sent Sister Shen here? Could it be that Chu Yanqiu felt that his life was coming to an end and was considering Sister Shen, so he had to give her to me?"
Eunuch Guo's face couldn't help but twitch. He really wanted to agree with his master's speculation, but how could that be possible? He knew that Lord Chu was deeply in love with Miss Shen. He remembered that in order to prevent the Emperor from having any improper thoughts about Miss Shen, he even confronted the Emperor in the Golden Palace. Seeing that, Eunuch Guo thought Chu Yanqiu was going to rebel.
Eunuch Guo's eyes wandered as he pretended to think, "I think it's unlikely, but it's possible."
The little emperor put down the memorial in his hand, stood up and said, "Let's go and see Sister Shen."
Seeing the little emperor's impatient look, Eunuch Guo swallowed his words of persuasion and hurriedly followed the little emperor.
When the little emperor went to see Shen Wen, she woke up this time. Faced with the little emperor's frantic and caring behavior, she behaved differently this time and no longer resisted. The two talked for a few words, and their relationship became closer. She even did not reject the little emperor's intimate behavior.
Eunuch Guo looked at all this and felt that the happiness of their little emperor had arrived.
Throughout the day, the little emperor kept Shen Wen by his side no matter what he did. Even when he was dealing with military matters, he refused to let Shen Wen leave more than three meters away.
Shen Wen's mood was more stable and normal than before she fell into a coma, and she was even more obedient and docile. She did not bring up the matter of the palace again.
During lunch, the little emperor nervously asked Shen Wen if he remembered what happened before he fell into a coma, and if he remembered shouting that he wanted to kill Chu Yanqiu.
When Shen Wen was asked this question suddenly, it was as if a scar in her head was suddenly uncovered. She had a splitting headache. The lunch that had been going well suddenly turned into a madman's disturbance. No matter who tried to hold her back, it was useless. She kept talking nonsense and threatening to kill people.
Seeing her acting so crazy, the little emperor quickly controlled her, held her in his arms and comforted her again and again.
Fortunately, the little emperor's comforting words were effective in comforting her, and not long after, Shen Wen fell asleep in the little emperor's arms.
The little emperor became even more dependent on Shen Wen, and he stayed by Shen Wen's side without leaving.
The young emperor ordered people to move the memorials piled up in the imperial study to the bedside. Ministers who came to meet to report matters were also summoned to the bedroom, with a screen separating them so that they could discuss important military affairs across the screen.
Shen Wen slept all afternoon and woke up at 11:00 PM. When she opened her eyes, she saw the little emperor lying beside her with one hand on her.
Shen Wen was awake at this moment. She looked at the empty bedroom and recalled the scenes of the first day. The real shock lingered in her mind like a spell that could not be shaken off.
But she was only conscious for a moment. She didn't know what was going on. As if she knew something bad was going to happen next, her mental strength struggled anxiously, but the more she struggled, the more useless it was.
Time passed little by little in the long dark night. The little emperor beside him turned over and suddenly sat up from the bed. Even in his dream, he was still concerned about the person beside him whom he missed.
He sat up and quickly checked the person beside him. He found that she was still asleep, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
The little emperor was thirsty and wanted to call the eunuch on night watch to bring him tea, but he was afraid of waking up Shen Wen, so he had to get out of bed and find some water to drink.
He picked up the tea on the table and took two sips. Before he knew it, he felt as if he had fallen into a dream. As soon as he closed his eyes, he fell into darkness.
It was already midnight. A cold wind blew into the bedroom from outside. The little emperor, still holding a teacup in his hand and in the posture of having finished drinking water, stared with his dark eyes and slowly moved his neck.
He slowly placed the teacup in his hand on the table.
He walked back to Shen Wen's bedside step by step. He looked at the sleeping Shen Wen, his eyes full of thoughts and a thousand thoughts. In just a moment, he had thought about many things.
When he thought of something that made him proud, he stared at Shen Wen and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
If Shen Wen was awake at this moment, she would see the little emperor turn around and disappear in the blink of an eye.
As the evening breeze blew by, the little emperor arrived at the gate of Duke Ji's mansion in the blink of an eye.
He looked at the door with copper nails on it, looking determined to win.
He did not come here alone. Now all the blood talismans hidden by both parties are in his hands.
This is all thanks to the returned Emperor Sejong, who first took back the blood talisman power that was deposited with Lord Shen, and then intimidated his bastard son, Prince Rui. Prince Rui was very sensible, but now he is a madman with an unclear mind. He endured the fact that his father, the emperor who had returned as an immortal, lived in the body of the little emperor, and obeyed all the little emperor's requests.
This was the third time Chu Yanqiu had been assassinated. As the number of blood talismans gradually increased, Chu Yanqiu and his immortal ancestor became increasingly unable to resist the blood talismans.
The young emperor wore a sarcastic smile. They all said that Yuchi Lian was already a half-step immortal, but hadn't he been overwhelmed yesterday by the blood talisman and his own little emperor's siege? Although Yuchi Lian had employed many immortal techniques, such as casting beans to create soldiers, moving mountains and seas, and summoning gods and generals, he might have had a chance of victory against any immortal, but unfortunately, he had to face him. "I have everything you can do, and I also have things you can't do," he said. So, against him, all the earth-shattering battles were like a stream entering the sea, unable to stir up any ripples.
The Blood Talisman Army followed the wind in the night, and Cheng Fangzheng's army appeared on all sides of Duke Ji's Mansion in the blink of an eye, surrounding the entire Ji Mansion.
The little emperor was not in a hurry. Instead, he was interested. Standing on the steps of the gate, he sent a voice message to the inside over a thousand miles away. However, his words only reached the ears of Chu Yanqiu and Yuchi Lian.
The little emperor said, "I'm here again tonight. How about this? Why don't you just come out and kowtow to me and beg for mercy today? Let me see how sincere you are. If you can satisfy me, I will consider leaving your body intact and allow the Ji family to collect your body after your death."
He stood outside the door and said this with his red lips slightly opened. The two people in the mansion heard it clearly, especially Yuchi Lian. Her spiritual sense could detect the range of up to a hundred meters, and she saw the distribution of the Blood Talisman Army very accurately. She knew that the little emperor was not behind such a large-scale mobilization. The little emperor was just a mortal, and even if he had some courage and insight, he could not reach such a level.
Yuchi Lian also used a thousand-mile voice transmission to tell the little emperor, "It seems you are not making false accusations. You have long understood my current situation and are here to take advantage of the fact that my true body is trapped in the tiankeng."
The little emperor sneered.
That's what he meant. He didn't believe that Yuchi Lian had any more cards to play this time. If he didn't defeat her now while her power was weak, there would only be endless troubles in the future.
Yuchi Lian felt that the blood talismans around her were waiting for an opportunity, ready to make a move. She appeared calm on the surface, but she was already panicking in her heart.
She tried to remain calm, her mind racing as to what to do next, and what would be the most correct approach.
She thought about it and made a decision. Then she stood still and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The little emperor outside, who was about to give the order to rush in, seemed to have opened his third eye and saw a figure flashing and flying away. He then understood what Yuchi Lian was going to do.
He raised his arm calmly and ordered a blood talisman team to obey his orders. In a few seconds, they slipped into the wall of Duke Ji's mansion and fought fiercely with Chu Yanqiu, who only knew how to fight and kill.
He disappeared from the spot and retreated quietly. In the blink of an eye, he caught up with Yuchi Lian. Two flashing figures, one black and one white, crossed the night sky like meteors and both fell into the sinkhole in the palace where their true bodies were buried.
The little emperor stood opposite her and said, "It seems you want to fight to the death again? I want to see what other tricks you can use."
