Chapter 444: Tricked Out of the Palace
Prince Rui was kicked in the lower abdomen, holding the area in pain, and struggled to get up from the ground. He was actually very annoyed, but after all, Shen Wen was his sweetheart, so instead of getting angry, he smiled even more playfully.
He walked up to Shen Wen and said like a big bad wolf trying to trick Little Red Riding Hood, "Were you scared just now? What I meant was that it's very dangerous for you to be here now. You might as well come with me. Only under my protection will you be truly safe. Do you understand?"
Shen Wen wanted to hear the purpose behind his words, so he asked calmly, "You will protect me? How will you protect me? I was almost bullied by you just now. If I hadn't woken up early, you would have done something worse than an animal. How can I trust you?"
Prince Rui touched the painful spot and said, "I would never do that. I just saw you and my longing for you surged, and I couldn't control my behavior. I just wanted to kiss you. Think about it, I'm not stupid. This is the Emperor's bedroom. How could I dare do such a beastly thing? Such a commotion would definitely attract the palace servants and even the Emperor himself."
Shen Wen smiled, but he didn't. He said, "Go away. I'll let you go this time."
Prince Rui was far from willing to leave like this. He said, "Since you're leaving, then you should come with me. I'm not kidding. We really can't stay here any longer. If you're stuck between Chu Yanqiu and the little emperor, you'll only exacerbate the conflict between them. Soon, they'll turn against each other and escalate to war, and both sides will implicate you. Considering your situation then, it's better to leave with me now so that neither side can find you. You just need to hide with me for a year or two, until the struggle between the emperor and his subject is resolved, and then you'll be safe."
Shen Wen appeared calm on the surface, but in his heart he was laughing at Prince Rui's lie which was so far-fetched and full of loopholes.
but……
Shen Wen thought of the blood talismans that had been transferred from Prince Rui a few days ago. Perhaps only Prince Rui knew the stronghold of these blood talisman forces. Keeping those blood talismans would be a disaster. They were a group of mindless lethal weapons that could be used by Prince Rui and the little emperor, and could also be used by Yuchi Lian.
The thought of Yuchi Lian holding these blood talisman forces in his hands and then dealing with Chu Yanqiu made me feel a pang of anxiety.
That's what the crazy woman did that night. She was determined to train Chu Yanqiu into a real devil who would bring disaster to the country and could be used by her, and unify the world with the help of the inhuman Chu Yanqiu.
Shen Wen turned to look at Prince Rui and asked him innocently, "Are you serious? You won't hurt me like those two bastards did?"
Prince Rui was momentarily surprised by the question. He hadn't expected Shen Wen to be so innocent and easy to deceive. Prince Rui wasn't without suspicions. Instead, he felt Shen Wen was trapped by a broken heart. He knew that Shen Wen was in the palace because that bastard Chu Yanqiu had given her to the young emperor.
Prince Rui thought about this, and his eyes became more affectionate. He said seriously: "I swear that I will not lie to you. When you return to Prince Rui's Palace with me, I will definitely treat you with respect and respect, like a guest and a treasure."
Shen Wen could hardly pretend anymore. He felt so sick in his stomach that he almost vomited.
Shen Wen folded his arms and walked around Prince Rui in silence.
Prince Rui thought Shen Wen was moved, so he was not in a hurry to urge Shen Wen. He just waited for Shen Wen to think it over and then follow him without hesitation.
Shen Wen crossed her arms and looked Prince Rui in the eye. She said, "Don't think I don't know what you're planning on doing with me. You think you can just trick me away? Do you really think I'm stupid? Now I'm the beloved of the Emperor. Do you know what that means? It means that as long as I want, the whole world is mine. Who are you? I'd have to be stupid to follow you."
Prince Rui was unwilling to become the supreme emperor, and now he heard his beloved mocking him in this way. He almost broke down, but he managed to hold it in. He said, "I'm not bad either. Being my princess is just a little bit worse than the emperor's women. Your status is also very noble. I can promise you that as long as you become my princess, all the women in my palace will be yours to do whatever you want with them."
His hand grasped a small piece of clothing on Shen Wen's arm. Shen Wen shook his hand away and said, "How can you be so shameless? Let me tell you this, let alone the noble position of the little emperor's empress, I wouldn't care at all. I am actually a man. What I want is fame and status, I want power and status, I want strength and military power. I can devote myself to the little emperor's side because I have the opportunity to achieve my goal by his side, but you can't do that. You are an idle prince. No matter how hard I try by your side, I can't achieve my goal. Do you understand? So I advise you to be sensible and stop pestering me and don't disrupt my goal."
When Prince Rui heard her ruthless words, he was not angry but rather even more excited and like-minded. He said, "Oh, my dear, you are mistaken. If you want to achieve this goal, you should come to me! Only by coming to me can you achieve your goal now."
Shen Wen rolled his eyes at him and then spat at him mercilessly.
Prince Rui's face was covered with saliva, and he looked like he was bathed in the water of the gods. He looked dazed, which made Shen Wen, who was watching, feel a chill. He almost couldn't help but punch him out.
Prince Rui explained his words and said, "My dear, now in the world of the Great Digging Kingdom, wars are frequent all over the country. All the troops of the country have been invested in battlefields everywhere. So many days have passed, and the troops of the country have been lost by both the rebels. Do you know who is the one who still has a strong military force in the Great Digging Kingdom at this time? It's me! Back then, my royal bloodline died suddenly one by one. Fortunately, I gathered the private forces they raised. Do you think they are fighting against the Shen family rebels? You are wrong. Your grandfather, Lord Shen, is an old fox. He surrendered to me secretly a long time ago. We are just putting on a show for the whole court to see. We are conserving our strength. My dear, you are so smart. "I think you should understand my intention after I said this, right? I have done more than just that. There are also the heavenly soldiers and generals that you all talk about with fear. I have the most heavenly soldiers and generals in history. Believe me, follow me, and in the near future the entire country will be mine. How about letting you take charge of the Great Digging Kingdom? No! Even if you want to sit in the highest position and become the new emperor of the entire country, I can help you do it. Don't worry, as long as I am behind you as your backing, let alone this small Great Digging Kingdom, when the time comes, with powerful heavenly soldiers and generals in hand, we will directly trample through the borders of other countries and conquer them. Baby, I will let you be the only master of this world, okay?"
Shen Wen's eyelids twitched for no reason when he heard the seemingly good-for-nothing King Rui's bold words.
He couldn't help but ask, "What about you? If that day really comes and I become the master of this world, what will you want?"
Prince Rui stared at Shen Wen with his eyes fixed on him. His eyes were like lasers that could penetrate any obstacle. He licked his saliva as if it was about to flow out. He said, "I want you! Darling, all that fame and fortune is just passing clouds. You and I will be together forever, living happily and carefree for eternity. That is the unattainable ambition in this world."
Shen Wen felt that the nerve endings somewhere on her scalp were restless as if they had a fever, making her whole brain feel like it was about to burst.
"you……"
Shen Wen pointed at him and said, "You are just like your father. You are truly your father's biological son."
Prince Rui gently grasped Shen Wen's outstretched finger. He said, "Back then, your grandmother, Concubine Xianrou, and my father enjoyed a harmonious marriage that was the envy of others. It was precisely because of your grandmother's help in cultivation that my father had the great opportunity to successfully ascend to the immortal realm. In just a few years, my father's entire appearance resembled that of a god, and he was able to predict the future and easily govern the country with his supernatural powers. So, if you and I cultivate together, in time, the King of Japan will be as great as my father. We can ascend to the immortal realm together, and see what the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm is like, isn't it?"
Shen Wen looked at Prince Rui as if he were a lunatic, his eyes full of disgust making it impossible for Prince Rui to ignore it. However, Prince Rui's mind was so strong that his enthusiasm for the upper realm of immortality only increased. He held Shen Wen's hand even tighter, and he excitedly pulled Shen Wen's hand, turned around and walked towards the door of the bedroom.
Just as they reached the door to the bedroom, a furtive man happened to push the door open and walked in. He said to Prince Rui, "Prince, please don't waste time. The little emperor attaches great importance to this bedroom. We can't waste any time. Let's go quickly."
Shen Wen's reaction was intense. She struggled to free herself from Prince Rui's hand and ran backward, babbling incoherently, "I don't want it! I won't leave! You are bad people. I will tell the emperor to chop off your heads."
The person who came to meet him saw that Shen Wen was so ungrateful that he quickly chased after him and chopped Shen Wen on the back of his neck with a knife, knocking him unconscious. Fortunately, Prince Rui, a loving and affectionate man, hugged Shen Wen who was about to faint on the ground, and they quietly carried Shen Wen out of the palace.
The man who was supposed to pick up Prince Rui was very careful in his work. He had already found an unconscious woman and secretly stuffed her into the bed in the bedroom. In this way, as long as the palace maids and eunuchs who came to check did not lift the quilt to see the substitute woman's appearance clearly, they could delay some time, and then they could easily escape from the palace with Shen Wen.
After they successfully escaped from the palace, the little emperor who met with ministers in the imperial study was still immersed in conversations about government affairs. It was not until 3 p.m. that the little emperor and the ministers agreed on Prince Rui's dispatch of troops. He then ordered the palace servants to go to Prince Rui and ask him, who was waiting at home, to come to the palace again to finalize the matter.
Prince Rui followed the palace servant who delivered the imperial decree into the palace again.
Prince Rui met the young emperor again. When he heard that the young emperor agreed to his request to send troops to the coast, Prince Rui happily bowed repeatedly to agree. However, his joy turned into sorrow. Perhaps because he moved too much, he lost his balance and fell to the ground. He hit his head and fainted on the spot, with blood all over his head and face.
