The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 325 Substitution

Lord Shen, who had originally had no hope, was once again kicked out of the prison by people sent by His Majesty.

He was taken to the imperial study to meet the emperor.

Eunuch Guo, who was serving nearby, said to Lord Shen, "Lord Shen, you can tell me now, what kind of imperial decree did the late emperor leave for you that can protect your Shen family from treason."

Lord Shen kowtowed heavily and said, "Your Majesty, when the late emperor was leaving to cultivate his immortality, he transferred the most respected leader of the Jin Family Army, Jin Zhongquan, from the 100,000 Jin Family Army back to the capital, and killed him on the way. In addition to the 30,000 Jin Family Army who died with him, the remaining 70,000 Jin Family Army were not destroyed, but hidden in the vast desert outside the border. The late emperor did not allow these Jin Family Army to become a dangerous force, but used a new generation of Jin Family Army leaders to serve the late emperor. The late emperor used a special tiger talisman as an order and told me that if the country encounters turmoil or your majesty, the emperor of the childhood, cannot control the court situation and is forced to abdicate, the tiger talisman will be handed over to your majesty to order the Jin Family Army to enter the imperial city to defend the king."

The emperor smiled when he heard what he said, "So, the tiger token is in your hands, Lord Shen?"

Lord Shen kowtowed again and said, "Your Majesty is wise. Your Majesty! Please see clearly! I am innocent. If I really wanted to rebel, I should have done it when Your Majesty was young! Your Majesty, I have served two dynasties and have never forgotten the late emperor's kindness to me. For the late emperor and the emperor's kindness to me, I would sacrifice my life. I really will not participate in Shen Yan's ambition to rebel."

Looking at Lord Shen who was kneeling on the ground with great sincerity, the emperor fell into deep thought.

He thought for a long time and was silent for a long time. The old minister, Lord Shen, who was about to faint, knelt stiffly.

The emperor said, "But you don't know how to teach your brother. I remember that your brother was promoted by you. He was just a commoner who knew some Kung Fu. My dear Shen, your brother had already planned all this when the crown prince was still alive. I don't believe that you have never noticed it for so many years, or... you are waiting... you are watching, waiting for the day when I will decline, and you will overthrow my dynasty with the Jin family army you hold, or your second brother will be defeated one day, and then, like today, you will offer the Jin family army to show your loyalty."

Lord Shen had already reached his limit, his head was buzzing, his eyes were dizzy, and his breathing was rapid, but he still managed to raise his body and said, "Your Majesty, if you don't believe me, you can try it."

The emperor said, "Such a simple question, do you still need to explain it? My dear! How could such a disloyal and unfilial scum be allowed to live so long? My dear, I have already thought of a good ending for your second brother. Since you want to show your loyalty to me, I will give you this opportunity. You must do your job well and perfectly, and never let me down."

Lord Shen seemed to have heard of the amnesty. He raised his arms and kowtowed to the ground, saying, "Your Majesty, I thank you. I will obey your order."

But he was too happy too soon, because the next moment the emperor asked him to hand over the tiger talisman to mobilize the Jin army.

His Majesty simply wanted him to assassinate his second brother single-handedly with his bare hands.

Lord Shen was supported by two young eunuchs as he walked out of the hall. When he was about to step over the threshold of the hall, he heard the emperor behind him say, "My dear, did the late emperor leave you any other life-saving talismans? I am looking forward to it very much. Please don't let me down!"

These words frightened Lord Shen, who was already unsteady, and he fell down on the spot. Fortunately, two young eunuchs supported his hands and held him firmly.

In Qingcheng's villa outside the palace, Shen Wen was urged by Qingque again to check the pulse of Qingcheng who was sleeping on the bed.

After Shen Wen felt her pulse, his brows furrowed even more tightly. It was really strange. When he checked her pulse last night, it was developing in a good direction. Her pulse was strong, and her diet and daily life were almost normal. The girl even had the mood to joke with her, saying that she had a saint's dress and wanted to see Shen Wen wearing it. She thought it would suit Shen Wen very well.

The more Shen Wen investigated the condition, the more worried he became, so he simply pulled Qingcheng up and called her ear twice, asking her what was wrong with her.

Qingcheng was dragged and called out several times, but he didn't wake up or respond. He was just like a comatose vegetable.

Qingque sighed and said, "I knew this would be the result. Her fate in the human world is coming to an end. It cannot be reversed by human power."

Shen Wen got angry when he heard her superstitious tone. He stood up and said to Qingque, "What do you mean? Are you saying that doctors who save lives and heal the wounded in this world are nothing but clouds? Don't be ridiculous. Haven't you heard that good doctors fight with the God of Hell for lives? Why do you negate all my efforts with just one sentence: my fate is about to end?"

Seeing him looking at her with a red face, Qingque immediately became a little timid. She changed her tone and said, "Okay, okay! I take back what I just said. You are Qingcheng's doctor now. Whatever you say is what it is, okay?"

At this time, Qingcheng, who was unconscious on the bed, woke up unexpectedly. She asked, "What happened to you two? Did you have a fight?"

Shen Wen and Qingque looked at her quickly.

Qingque said: "I knew you would wake up. How do you feel?"

Qingcheng sat up slowly and said, "I'm fine. I woke up naturally after a good sleep. What's the matter? Have I slept for several days? Did I scare you?"

Shen Wen said: "No, no! It was Qingque who was startled. I said my treatment method is effective."

Qing Cheng smiled at Shen Wen and said, "Thank you, Sister Shen, for saving me. I feel much better now. Look, I can even get up and move around."

As she said this, she propped herself up and actually got out of bed.

Qingque blamed her for being stubborn and kept holding her arm.

Qing Cheng said that it was okay. She said to Shen Wen, "Didn't I tell you yesterday that if you want to see Sister Shen wearing my Moonlit Night Skirt, it's in the cabinet behind Sister Shen. Sister, take it out and change in the next room. I want to see it."

Shen Wen followed her wishes and went to the closet and took out a piece of luxurious clothing. Then he went to the next room to change into it, and combed his hair into a simple female hairstyle before returning to Qingcheng's room.

As soon as Shen Wen entered, Qingcheng, Qingque and Chu Yanqiu who had just entered the room all looked at him.

Qingcheng's mouth was stretched to her ears from laughing, and she was naturally very satisfied. She said to Chu Yanqiu beside her, "Look, Brother Chu, I said Sister Shen was born beautiful. My luxurious saintly attire is perfect for a beauty like her. Her beauty is soft and delicate, yet it can lift up the mountains, rivers, stars and moon. Her nobleness is something she has given herself."

Chu Yanqiu did not answer Qingcheng's words, but kept looking at Shen Wen.

Qingque felt that the room was too stuffy. She walked over, took Shen Wen's arm and said, "Okay, let Qingcheng have a good rest. Will you accompany me to walk outside on the street?"

Shen Wen was puzzled as to what she was suddenly going to do outside. He looked up at Qingcheng, who nodded to him as an approval of Qingque's proposal. Chu Yanqiu also said, "Just keep the clothes on. I think even if you run into someone familiar on the street, they won't recognize you. It's good to be a pure and elegant woman."

Shen Wen was originally a woman. She looked at the skirt she was wearing and felt it was really nice, so she lightly and happily pulled Qingque out.

The two men walked hand in hand to the gate of the villa. The gatekeeper was standing at the door from a distance. He greeted them with a smile, then unbolted the door and watched them leave.

At this time, they were standing outside the door and happened to see a gorgeous carriage stop. A master and servant came out of the carriage and stood on the shaft. The hostess was attracted by Shen Wen's clothes at first sight.

She was Chu Yanqiu's mother, Second Madam Ji from the Ji family. Who else could the maid who helped her get off the carriage be but Aunt Yinhua?

Aunt Yinhua was also attracted by Shen Wen's clothes, but when she saw that it was Shen Wen wearing these clothes, she immediately became unhappy and said coldly: "How dare you! Who told you to dress like this? With your status, you don't deserve it!"

Aunt Ji, who was beside her, coughed to stop Aunt Yinhua from speaking.

Aunt Yinhua said to Second Grandma Ji: "Grandma, nowadays poor girls are really getting bolder and bolder. They spend a lot of effort to make any clothes to wear. Not only that, but they also wear them in and out of the Saint's mansion. It is simply a provocation to the Saint's dignity. They are so ignorant. If you don't educate them, they don't know where they are wrong."

Shen Wen said at this time: "Hey! Isn't this the silver flower snake? What brought you here? What are you doing here? To capture a beautiful concubine for your young master? You are losing your dignity. I can guarantee for your young master that there are no beautiful concubines climbing into the bed here. You should go back."

When Aunt Yinhua heard what she said, she stared at Shen Wen from head to toe and asked in surprise, "You? You are that Aunt Shen!"

Second Madam Ji also looked at Shen Wen. She was not looking at Shen Wen's appearance, but at Shen Wen's clothes. She looked again and again, and finally confirmed that the saint's costume Shen Wen was wearing was not a fake, but a real saint's star-moon dress.

Second Madam Ji became even more suspicious of the intention behind this. As for who Aunt Shen was, she didn't care. She didn't even glance at Shen Wen. She walked past Shen Wen with her skirt lifted and walked into the house with confidence.

Aunt Yinhua said, "How daring!" and shook her head, then followed her master into the house.

Qingque's curiosity was aroused. She was walking on the street with Shen Wen and asked the master and servant who entered the courtyard. When she heard that it was Second Madam Ji, Qingque said, "It's her. Yesterday, Qingcheng said that she would invite Second Madam Ji to visit her place."

Shen Wen asked, "Oh, what is that about? Do you know?"

Qingque shook his head.

Two people were shopping in the busiest commercial shop on the street.

And there is the other courtyard.

When Second Madam Ji saw Qingcheng, she felt distressed as if she had seen her own daughter. She pointed at Chu Yanqiu and cursed, "It's all the fault of this little beast. He didn't even tell me that you were sick."

Qingcheng stroked Ji Ernai's back and kept saying, "Don't worry, auntie. I'm fine."

They chatted like mother and daughter, and drove out Chu Yanqiu, who was standing aside like a piece of wood.

Only then did Second Madam Ji bring up the fact that Shen Wen was wearing the Star-Moon Skirt.
