The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 237 Escape from the Palace

Shen Shuyi lied as soon as she opened her mouth. The angry little emperor slammed the imperial desk and said, "Asshole, you dare to lie in front of me, someone come and slap me in the face."

Shen Shuyi was quickly slapped several times, and her face was covered with tears from the pain. She lay on the ground as soft as a noodle, touching her perfect little face, feeling extremely heartbroken.

The little emperor pointed at her on the ground and said, "I ask you, are you telling the truth? Who teamed up with you to kill Shen Wen?"

Shen Shuyi just touched her red and swollen little face, and was angry at His Majesty for hitting her beautiful face for that damn bastard. So she looked at the little emperor with resentment and called out "Your Majesty", with a long and aggrieved ending in her voice.

The little emperor couldn't help feeling so nauseated by the woman that his whole body trembled three times.

The little emperor lost his patience and nodded with gritted teeth, "Okay, okay! If you don't say you have accomplices, then I will assume you have no accomplices. Come on! Drag her away!"

Then two guards picked up Shen Shuyi and dragged her out.

At this time, a leader of the imperial guards came in from outside the palace. After he saluted the young emperor, he said, "Your Majesty, when I and others conducted a thorough investigation of the eunuchs in the harem, we found that several women had been killed. The bodies were still warm, indicating that they had just been killed."

Before the little emperor opened his mouth to speak, he heard a desperate and miserable scream from Shen Shuyi who was being dragged out of the palace. Then he heard her shouting, "Your Majesty! I was wrong, Your Majesty! I don't want to go to the Ministry of Punishment to be punished. I am Your Majesty's woman, I am the daughter of your noble minister, please have mercy on me! Please have mercy on me! How can I go to that kind of place with my stunning beauty? Please have mercy on me! I want to go to the cold palace, the cold palace is where I should go..."

The crazy words pierced people's ears, making the little emperor stand up and walk around irritably. If there weren't so many strange things about Shen Shuyi, he would have ordered someone to drag her out and chop her into pieces.

The little emperor ordered someone to cover Shen Shuyi's mouth and drag her out, and only then did the hall become quiet.

The young emperor ordered Ruan Qingxia from Yingtian Prefecture to come to the palace and appointed him to thoroughly investigate the case of Shen Shuyi and the women who were inexplicably killed by the eunuchs.

It can be said that Ruan Qingxia was just trying his hand at it since he came out of seclusion. It only took him two hours to find some clues in the murder case of the eunuchs.

Ruan Qingxia personally reported to the young emperor, "These women are not ordinary women. They were subjected to evil magic. It just so happened that during the few days I came to Yingtian Prefecture, I found a case involving a criminal named Shen Ping'er, which was related to the forbidden evil magic. So it was easy to find out this."

The little emperor asked, "What is the case of Shen Ping'er? Tell me about it."

So Ruan Qingxia told the story of how Shen Ping'er seduced Qian Zuocun, the former prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, and was imprisoned by Qian Zuocun.

Ruan Qingxia said: "On the surface, this matter is nothing more than Qian Zuocun being captured by lust, and because of Shen Ping'er's love for him, he became angry and imprisoned, tortured and killed Shen Ping'er. Now the case of the murdered woman in the palace is similar to Shen Ping'er's case. It seems that Qian Zuocun is not a simple person. In addition, Shen Ping'er's case also implicates General Xue Wenwu. The emperor thinks..."

When the little emperor heard this, he thought for a moment and waved his hand and said, "Xue Wenwu? Investigate! Investigate this matter thoroughly."

Ruan Qingxia received the emperor's personal order and immediately left the palace to investigate the matter.

Lord Shen in the Shen Marquis Mansion could no longer sit still. The two granddaughters he had carefully nurtured were so disappointing. It was his fault. He had forgotten that women were so jealous and narrow-minded. Now all the women in the palace were killed by the mastermind. The old marquis was heartbroken. As for Shen Shuyi's matter, if it was found that the two were related, their Shen family would be killed immediately.

As soon as Lord Shen got the news, he immediately asked people to mobilize the secret connections in the palace. The only way was to kill Shen Shuyi to silence her.

But the spies in the palace had failed to succeed. Now the knife was hanging over his head. The old marquis was so anxious that he ran around in a panic and even learned a breakdance without any instruction. The old marquis asked someone to go to the backyard to find Taoist Qingping to discuss things, but Taoist Qingping was only in the mansion and no one knew what he was doing.

Little did he know that it was the Taoist Master Qingping, whom he had been thinking about all the time, who caused this disaster.

At this time, Taoist Qingping had already arrived at the palace gate in the prince consort's sedan chair.

The princess's carriage was in front, and the prince consort's sedan chair was behind.

There were many more guards at the palace gate than usual, but in the eyes of the princess, they did not pose a threat. After all, she was a noble among the nobles, and no one could make things difficult for her.

Princess Shanjin sat on the phoenix carriage, and there were two women sitting beside her. One woman sat next to her, she was the Princess of Baocheng County, and the other was a charming woman dressed in cool clothes.

Princess Shanjin glanced at the woman carelessly, with her usual motherly smile on her face. She patted the hand of Princess Baocheng and said, "Luckily, you are the one who really cares about me. I heard that something big happened in the palace, and you ignored your own safety and insisted on coming with the prince consort to pick me up."

No matter how many times Baocheng County Lady had been worried about her aunt in the past, she was indeed a little worried today, mixed with some guilt, because...

Baocheng County Lady was touched and called out, "Auntie... You are my auntie, and it is right for Baocheng to worry about you."

After saying that, he moved his eyes to the cool woman on the side.

This time she lost her sense of propriety. The day her husband went to her room, it happened to be the day she was being plotted against. That damn Shen Yefeng had tried every means to meet her by chance and date her. He even boldly broke into her house and, when she was drunk and having sex, he had an affair with her favorite lover and climbed into her bed in a disgusting way...

Just thinking about the Princess Baocheng makes me feel sick.

My husband was caught red-handed, and I thought he was a face-saving person who would swallow his pride. After all, they have been married for many years, and they have to consider some of the affection between husband and wife. Who knew that my husband was also a very calculating person.

The county magistrate was not ashamed of her behavior, but he did not show any resentment at all. He only used this incident as a handle to ask her to deal with a woman who came to his door.

He said that Prince Rui had the evidence against them and was going to put such a woman into her husband's room. Her husband didn't want to keep her, and the story between her and Shen Yefeng couldn't be spread. She suddenly remembered that her aunt Princess Shanjin was worried about the son-in-law's bloodline. That day, she heard her aunt, half drunk and half awake, tell her that she was very sorry for not letting the son-in-law have a bloodline of her own. She also held her hand and told her that if there was a beautiful and suitable woman, she should show her... and so on.

When the Lady of Baocheng County stuffed this woman into the bed of the Prince Consort, she realized belatedly what a stupid thing she had done. Her aunt and the Prince Consort had been married for more than 20 years. Did the Prince Consort really never sleep with other women? Why didn't her aunt leave a blood relative for the Prince Consort for more than 20 years? It was her aunt who was overbearing and jealous! How many years had the Ji family been troubled by the curse? How could her aunt not know? Her aunt was the only one who dominated the Prince Consort. She would not let the Prince Consort have children with other women, and would not even kill the mother and keep the child.

But what the Lord of Baocheng County doesn't know is that your aunt is more than just overbearing and jealous. She has done many other things.

When the guards saw that it was the princess's carriage, they stepped forward, bowed, and asked for their greetings, then let it pass.

Everyone thought that the incident was over, but as soon as the princess's carriage poked its head out of the city gate, a group of rats scurried out, as numerous as flowing water, crawling all over the carriage. That was not the end, a group of bees and moths came, and strange sights continued one after another.

The leader of the imperial guards immediately became alert. He stopped the princess' carriage again and said, "Princess, please forgive me. There must be assassins hiding in your carriage. To protect your safety, we, the humble officials, have no choice but to offend you."

After saying that, he waved his hand and all the guards gathered around. The leader of the guards said, "Princess, please move and wait outside the sedan for a moment. We will finish the search soon. Your Highness, please move."

Princess Shanjin had no choice but to take Princess Baocheng and the woman out of the car.

The princess ordered Lady Baocheng to get off the carriage first, and the cool woman to get off second. Unfortunately, the princess' foot stepped on the woman's floor-length skirt. With a rustling sound, the woman was left standing under the sedan chair in only her underwear and panties.

The woman hugged her arms and didn't even scream, she was just shaking and about to fall down.

The guards were also startled and all tried to get away, turning their heads away in order to avoid suspicion.

at this time……

"Ouch! Snake!"

Princess Shanjin suddenly pointed at the woman's lower back and screamed.

The leader of the guards hurried to see, but did not see any snake wrapped around the woman.

But there were indeed new discoveries on the woman's lower back.

The leader of the Royal Guards' eyes narrowed. The pattern on her lower back was exactly the same as the mark on the woman who died as a eunuch.

The guards immediately ordered someone to arrest the woman.

The prince consort behind also got off the sedan chair and ran over to inquire about the situation.

Princess Shanjin then took the husband's hand to comfort him. He said, "It's nothing. We can explain this matter to the emperor. You don't have to go with him to see the emperor. I will go myself. I will take Baocheng with me. Fortunately, your sedan chair is safe."

After saying this, Princess Wan Jin looked at the guards to inquire about their opinion. The guards did not dare to make decisions for the princess. In any case, the evil female assassin had been caught and the princess went to the emperor in person to clarify the matter. So they let the prince consort's sedan go.

The prince consort got back on the sedan chair, and it slowly left the city gate. Those strange mice, moths, bees, etc. also left the city gate at the same time as the prince consort's sedan chair.

Princess Shanjin brought Princess Baocheng and others to the Imperial Study to wait for an audience. There were already several people kneeling in the Imperial Study. The first person to be summoned was Qian Zuocun, the former governor of Yingtian Prefecture, followed by Xue Wenwu and Lang Ji.

Ever since Qian Zuocun was retained at home and was waiting to be transferred to another post, he became much older and more hunched over in a short period of time, probably because the pain of losing his wife was too great a blow.

The young emperor summoned them to the palace for a meeting this time just to get the feel of the situation. He had a rough idea in his mind that he could remove their official positions if necessary.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the little emperor asked the beginning question, his cousin Xue Wenwu told him about his affair with Shen Ping'er.
