The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 236 The thing I told you

It's so strange. Didn't Shen Shuyi, the second daughter of the second branch of the Shen family, die in the palace as soon as she entered it? It was said that it was because she offended a concubine of higher rank than her, who was framed with a crime and beaten to death with a stick according to the palace rules.

Shen Wen walked over curiously, wanting to confirm whether this woman was a human.

Or has her yin-yang eyes opened again? Is the ghost of this woman coming to find her?

Shen Wen went to see Shen Shuyi. She smiled at him in a gentle and friendly manner and said, "Seventeenth brother! I am your second sister."

Shen Wen was about to ask, "Why are you here?"

Shen Shuyi grabbed his wrist with such force that it felt like a ghost or zombie clamping his wrist.

Shen Wen felt something was wrong and looked up at Shen Shuyi.

But it was too late. The pain from his hand being clamped spread throughout his body, causing him to lose consciousness in the blink of an eye, and he fell to the ground with his body tilted.

What about Shen Shuyi?

It transformed into a ball of black gas that looked like a human figure, grabbed Shen Wen, and turned into a gust of wind, taking Shen Wen away.

The black shadow brought Shen Wen out of the palace wall and threw him to the ground like a piece of cargo.

Looking again, the shadow had turned into a Taoist priest. A rat as big as a piglet ran out and ran to the unconscious Shen Wen, sniffing his body from head to stomach, as if hesitating and wandering.

The Taoist narrowed his fierce eyes and said, "Why are you dithering? Why don't you eat him quickly?"

The big rat shrank back in fear, but still hesitated and didn't want to eat Shen Wen.

The Taoist cursed, "Useless thing! Haven't you killed enough people? Just because you are called a spirit rat, do you really think you are a spirit creature?"

Qiankun flicked his sleeves, and the mouse rolled away like a rolling ball.

The Taoist knew that time waits for no one, and if he didn't kill Shen Wen, the several immortals inside the palace wall would be alarmed.

He raised the Vajra Palm in his hand and slapped Shen Wen's head without hesitation.

But he still underestimated the strength of the immortal. In an instant, a strange wind blocked the Taoist's Vajra Palm, and like an iron rod, it overturned the Taoist's arm and threw the Taoist out two meters away.

The Taoist priest felt something was wrong after being hit. He fell to the ground and tried to escape immediately.

But just as he turned around, another figure blocked his way.

Without waiting for his next move.

A voice behind him said, "You're here! And you want to leave? How much do you despise us?"

The man who was blocking the way at the other end said, "Chun Yu Li Ke, don't underestimate this monster. If I don't intervene today, you won't be able to take him down."

The Taoist felt something was wrong and immediately turned around to look at the person who was speaking.

The man was polite. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, introducing himself: "My name is Tong Ming, and I am just a human who has lived too long."

What followed was, of course, a fight.

The splendid fight was beyond description. All the people of Kyoto knew that day was that it was a morning when strange things happened one after another.

There were thick clouds in the sky, blocking the intensity of the sun. People could only see the inside of the clouds. Sometimes the black clouds overwhelmed the red clouds, sometimes the red clouds overwhelmed the black clouds, and there were also lightning and thunder.

There were also strange sights in the homes of ordinary people in Kyoto. Some people's roofs were blown away by the hurricane in an instant, some people's homes were hit by heavy rain on a sunny day, and one family actually caught fire, causing wailing everywhere in the capital. Some superstitious people kept shouting that it was the anger of God, and knelt down and kowtowed to the sky. At this time, people respected ghosts and gods, and one kowtow led to another, so one, two, three, and a large number of people kowtowed in the chaos of the capital.

The officers and soldiers in charge of various departments in the capital had to take care of the emperor's palace and the common people in various parts of the capital, and they were busy running around the streets. The palace guards received the emperor's orders and patrolled the palaces to capture suspicious persons.

When they checked the Yongshou Palace in the harem, they found suspicious bloodstains outside the palace wall. They broke into the gate of the Yongshou Palace without even asking for permission.

Yongshou Palace has been the residence of the empress dowager throughout the dynasties. The young emperor's biological mother died early, and there was an empress dowager when he first ascended the throne. But she died after only one month in office. There should be no one in Yongshou Palace at this time. If there was anyone, it was only a gatekeeper. But he didn't want the officers and soldiers to break in, and was scolded by a nobleman who walked out of the main hall.

When the officers and soldiers saw this noble lady, they found out that she was the emperor's aunt, Princess Shanjin, the only princess of the Daju Kingdom.

The empress dowager who died after only one month in office was actually the aunt of Princess Shanjin. The father of the young emperor was a criminal prince, and none of the wives of the criminal prince had ever gotten the position of empress dowager. The concubine of the retired emperor, who was also the aunt of Princess Shanjin, was appointed as the empress dowager by the young emperor when the retired emperor went to Hanlu Mountain to cultivate himself.

Princess Shanjin had a deep relationship with her aunt. Every year on commemorative festivals such as the empress dowager's birthday, death anniversary, Ghost Festival, Cold Food Festival, etc., Princess Shanjin would go to Yongshou Palace when she was feeling sad and would take the palace servants to clean and tidy up the palace.

Unfortunately, this time the officers and soldiers happened to encounter the day when Princess Shanjin was missing the Empress Dowager.

Shanjin scolded the guards but did not punish them severely and asked them to withdraw.

The imperial guards also thought of the bloodstains outside the palace wall and did not dare to confront Her Royal Highness the Princess, so they had to withdraw first. Only after obtaining the emperor's edict could they enter the Yongshou Palace to search.

The guards left in disgrace, and Princess Shanjin ordered people to close the gate of Yongshou Palace.

Princess Shanjin dismissed the servants and returned to her bedroom in Yongshou Palace.

She closed the door of the bedroom and looked around anxiously. She saw a man in black coming out from behind the curtain and said, "Don't panic, Princess. I am just hiding from those people in the West Palace. Mortals other than them can't do anything to me. They are just a few guards. Why panic, Princess?"

Princess Shanjin's face looked very ugly. Now that she was in trouble with this old Taoist priest, she would definitely not be able to recover this time.

Princess Shanjin said, "Taoist, what did you do? Let me tell you, if it is the crime of assassinating the emperor, even I, a princess, cannot save you."

The Taoist said, "Princess, don't worry. Even if you give me ten times the courage, I would not dare to assassinate His Majesty. Princess, don't be nervous. Your consort will be here soon. By then, I will hide in his sedan chair and leave the palace quickly."

The princess said, "It's agreed that I will only help you this time. If you don't agree, I will have someone inform you after we leave the palace, and you will still be unable to escape."

In order to reassure the princess, the Taoist priest spontaneously extended two fingers to his head and swore: "The Taoist priest swears that if it happens again, I will not have a good death! Do you believe it now, Princess?"

Princess Shanjin nodded and said, "You, the Taoist priest, are such a mean person. When I asked you to do something, you praised it better than flowers, saying that the bodies of the mother and child were buried in your formation, and even if they had ten lifetimes of luck, they would not be able to turn over. But what happened? The bodies of the mother and child had been dug up long ago, and your crappy formation can't even do anything to ordinary mortals in this world. Now, you actually use this secret matter to ask for help again. How thick is your face? Damn Taoist priest, don't think that this princess is easy to control."

The Taoist said, "I know that the princess is angry about the suppression of the mother and child's ghosts. But my soul-suppressing method is flawless. That's because the close relatives of the baby's corpse used their blood to open the soul-suppressing formation. In addition, the baby was a person with good fortune who should not die. Heaven cannot be defied, so my formation was broken. Having said that, I would like to ask the princess, is the baby's biological father still alive? Has the princess found that person? Who is that person?"

Princess Shanjin was asked about this, and her resentment towards the Taoist priest disappeared. She waved her hand and said, "At this point, there is no need to go on so much. When the prince consort comes, you can dress up and leave with him."

The princess turned and walked to the door of the bedroom. When she was about to open the door and leave, the Taoist priest behind her suddenly sensed that something was coming. He stretched out his hand and pinched his fingers to read a fortune. He hurriedly called the princess and said, "Princess, wait a minute. I'm afraid this matter may change. I advise you to make other plans as soon as possible."

Princess Shanjin came back and asked, "You said something was going to happen? Tell me about it."

At this moment in the imperial study, the little emperor sat behind the imperial desk, squinting his eyes and looking dangerously at the woman kneeling on the ground.

This woman was Shen Shuyi who had just been captured.

The little emperor said, "Raise your head and let me see!"

The woman was in a disheveled state with disheveled hair.

She slowly raised her head, her whole body trembling and her eyes full of tears as she looked at the emperor with pity.

She thought that such a charming trick that never failed would make the emperor soften his heart. After all, she was a woman who had practiced the Intoxicating Marrow and Illusionary Bone Charm for ten years.

Seeing her acting like this, the young emperor was furious. He slammed the imperial desk fiercely and shouted, "Here they come! Give this Shen family girl a beating first. No! This woman clearly has evil magic. She just used it to confuse me. I dug out her eyes."

When Shen Shuyi heard this, she finally lost her composure and begged for mercy in panic.

This woman miscalculated. The emperor in their family is a homosexual!

Shen Shuyi yelled "spare my life"

The eunuch beside the young emperor stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, calm down. Isn't Your Majesty going to interrogate this girl from the Shen family? It would be better to dig out her eyes later. Otherwise, if you dig out her eyes, they will be covered in blood and it will damage Your Majesty's body."

The little emperor thought it made sense, so he said, "Then let someone blindfold her."

Shen Shuyi was blindfolded, and the little emperor then calmly said, "I ask you, why did you collude with that monster to kill Shen Wen?"

Shen Shuyi said, "It's unfair! I didn't collude with the Taoist priest to kill Shen Wen."

After she finished speaking, Shen Shuyi realized that she had made a mistake and hurriedly tried to make up for it, "I heard from the imperial guards who arrested me that the monster was a Taoist priest. I heard that my brother Shen Wen went to the West Palace. I was afraid that he would break into the West Palace and cause trouble for the Shen family, so I sneaked into the West Palace just to bring my brother out."
