The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 450 The One in the Door Is Not Me

Just as he had said before leaving, the young emperor hurried back not long after. He brought with him an entourage of palace servants, eunuchs, and court officials, as well as memorials to review. Shen Wen was called to his feet and, seeing this, couldn't help but ask, "Are you planning on living here permanently? Are you planning on handling important state affairs in a place like this?"

The little emperor always had a smile on his face when he saw her. He said, "I'm worried that my sister will get bored staying here. With me by her side, I can do things with confidence and my sister won't get bored either."

Shen Wen nodded and said, "You are quite considerate of me. So, do as you please."

Although the little emperor was in the court, he kept his eyes on the bedroom. Every half an hour someone would come to report to him what his sister Shen was doing, so he naturally knew that Shen Wen had been sleeping in bed.

The little emperor said, "Sister, you have been sleeping in the room for so long, I am afraid you must be hungry. I will ask someone to bring up some food."

As the little emperor finished speaking, he immediately ordered someone to serve the meal. The palace maids and eunuchs who had been waiting outside came in one after another carrying food.

Shen Wen sat obediently beside the little emperor and accompanied him for dinner. This time she even admired herself. She was really well-educated. She could patiently stay in the same room for such a long time with such a person who was intolerant of others.

After finishing the meal quickly, Shen Wen said, "I've eaten with you. You can review the memorials and discuss government affairs. I'll be free."

The young emperor wanted to chat with her for a while, but when he saw that the ministers waiting outside the door were already exhausted, he gave up the idea and ordered Eunuch Guo to call the ministers in to formally start discussing state affairs.

Shen Wen was invited behind the screen, and the palace servants did not let her get bored. They prepared some rare treasures and strange magic tricks for her to enjoy and pass the time. In fact, the noble ladies and beauties in the harem had many ideas of how to pass the time. The palace had everything. The maids and eunuchs were all smart and clever. They could guess your every frown and smile very accurately. As long as you were willing to be coaxed by them, they would always have endless ways to make you happy.

The afternoon passed slowly, and Shen Wen became numb from playing as they wished. He lay on the table and cried out for hunger and tiredness, calling the little emperor. The little emperor, who was already at the end of his time, had very sensitive ears. He only called out softly, and then he dropped everything and ran to Shen Wen happily.

The two of them had a pleasant dinner. As Shen Wen ate the delicacies from land and sea, she smelled the aroma of wine. She asked, "Did you bring some good wine? Why didn't you bring it up? It smells very mellow."

The eunuch serving the meal said, "Miss Shen, the aroma of wine comes from the cake in front of you, which is mixed with fine wine. It is not the aroma of specially heated wine."

The young emperor immediately understood that Shen Wen was craving for wine, and he immediately ordered the eunuch who served the food, "Then go get a bottle of good wine and heat it up for Sister Shen."

When the wine was served, Shen Wen took the jug and poured a glass for the little emperor first, then poured one for herself. She raised the glass in front of the little emperor and said, "Have a few drinks with me, so you can sleep well tonight."

When the little emperor heard the word "sleep", his mind began to wander, so he obediently took his cup and the two of them clinked their glasses and drank it all. This cycle went on and on, and before long, the two of them had finished the whole pot of wine without realizing it.

The little emperor usually didn't drink, but this time he drank several cups at once. His face was flushed and his speech was slurred. He wanted to say a few more words to his sister Shen, but he only said "sister" and fell asleep with his head on the table.

Shen Wen was also very drunk and not in much better condition. She looked down and saw the little emperor fell down drunk. She laughed, but she couldn't laugh more than a few times before she fell asleep.

The palace servants gently helped the two masters to the bed, quickly cleaned up the leftovers, and then quietly dispersed.

When the bedroom was truly quiet, Shen Wen opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.

She hid behind the bed curtains and listened to the noise outside. The two palace maids who were on night watch in the room were just taking over for dinner. They pushed the door open and left before the other maids came in. Shen Wen came out from behind the bed curtains at this time and ran to the door nimbly, but it was not as smooth as she had imagined. As soon as she opened the crack in the door with her hand, the two maids who took over came in. Shen Wen was caught off guard and had to hide behind the door.

Fortunately, the two young palace maids didn't notice. They were very dedicated and had thought several steps ahead for their master, the emperor. They kept saying that their emperor had a hangover and a headache, and that they had to prepare hangover soup and hot water for a change of clothes. As they were talking, they had already come in, but then they went back to check the prepared clothes.

Shen Wen watched them leave and then she felt happy. She took this opportunity to quickly escape from the palace.

She ran out of the bedroom, found a tree in the courtyard, and left the palace in the blink of an eye through time and space.

After Shen Wen left the palace, he wanted to go to Prince Rui's Mansion to take charge first.

Although Prince Rui was a lustful man, he was a normal prince otherwise. At this time of night, when Prince Rui was lying in bed and wanted a woman to practice martial arts, he didn't know how long the magic power of the little fox that had seduced him into a hallucination and coma could last. Was it a day? Two days?

"You must wait until I return and Prince Rui wakes up. Otherwise, Shen Shufeng and his servants won't be able to fool Prince Rui. If this oversight causes trouble, it will be bad."

While Shen Wen was muttering to himself, he slipped into Prince Rui's bedroom.

Under the starry light of the oil lamp in the bedroom, Prince Rui, who was sitting on the bed, had a face full of anger, and Shen Shufeng, who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, was trembling with fear and sweating profusely.

Prince Rui snorted coldly and said, "Gone? What do you mean by gone? This person I brought back with great difficulty was sleeping with me last night, and today you tell me she's gone? Shen Shufeng, are you afraid you think your life is too long?"

When Shen Shufeng thought of the cruel killings that Prince Rui was good at doing, he couldn't help but tremble all over. He was not a coward. He had bravely risked his life in the military camp and had walked on the edge of life and death many times, but he was willing to accept that kind of death. If he was dragged away and killed by Prince Rui at this moment, the tragedy would be much more humiliating than a heroic death.

Prince Rui uttered hateful words, but his heart was already boiling with anxiety. He had been acting like a calm and composed Buddha, but suddenly he stood up from the bed, clenched his fists and roared hysterically, "Someone! Quickly, someone! Even if you have to turn the entire palace upside down, you must find her. Quickly, someone! Gather all the soldiers in the palace and go find her for me!"

Shen Shufeng had been accompanying Prince Rui for so many days and had already figured out how cruel Prince Rui usually was. He was so angry at this moment, and I'm afraid he would kill a group of people to vent his anger later. Not only that, if Miss Shen still couldn't be found, he would also be cut into pieces by Prince Rui.

Shen Shufeng didn't dare to think about his own ending. He kowtowed and accepted the order to take people to look for him immediately.

Unexpectedly, before he stepped out of the door, the half-closed door quietly opened and a woman walked in.

When Shen Shufeng saw the appearance of this woman, he was immediately delighted?

"Miss Shen? Glad you're back."

This Miss Shen had actually returned alive. She brushed past him as she entered the room, then walked gracefully to Prince Rui. Her large, light, soft sleeves lifted up, and a fleeting glimpse passed before the stunned Prince Rui's eyes. Then, she placed her soft hand on his shoulder and called out softly with a smile, "Prince! Did you send someone to look for me?"

Prince Rui grabbed Shen Wen's wrist and realized that this was not a dream. His uneasy heart finally relaxed. He gently pulled her into his arms and said with a smile: "Where has my beloved concubine gone? It's so hard for my people to find her."

Shen Wen said, "I got lost in the back garden. Luckily, I found my way into Princess Rui's courtyard. Her personal maid brought me back."

Prince Rui suddenly realized what was going on. He said, "So that's how it is."

To Prince Rui, this seemed like a plausible reason. He was also to blame for being so negligent towards Princess Rui, leaving that undead woman to fend for herself in a remote, deserted courtyard in the back garden. How could he have remembered her if no one had mentioned her?

Prince Rui said, "Since it was Princess Rui's maid who brought you back, I will reward her well."

Shen Wen said, "Thank you very much, Your Highness. The maidservant is just outside the door. Your Highness can call her in and reward her in person."

Prince Rui ordered the maid to be summoned in. Prince Rui squinted his eyes and looked carefully at the maid's appearance, but he had no impression of her at all.

Prince Rui called the housemaid beside him, and the housemaid told him, and only then did he confirm that it was indeed the maid serving Princess Rui.

Prince Rui only asked one question about Princess Rui: "Has Princess Rui passed away?"

I heard from the little maid that Princess Rui was still unconscious, but her physical condition was relatively healthy.

Prince Rui's face immediately turned ugly. He threw the teacup in his hand to the ground, waved his hand and told the maids to send the maid back.

Prince Rui stretched out his long arms and embraced Shen Wen's waist, then gently pulled Shen Wen into his arms.

Prince Rui touched Shen Wen's face and said, "You must never make me worry like this again. You are also not allowed to see Princess Rui in the courtyard again. Fortunately, you are fine today, so I won't punish you. However, if you do this again, I will definitely punish you."

Shen Wen was frightened by his serious look, like a little rabbit. He nestled in his arms and could only nod in agreement.

Prince Rui sent Shen Shufeng and others away, and then he started to touch Shen.

When Shen Shufeng closed the door himself, he happened to see this beautiful spring scenery clearly.

Shen Shufeng turned around with a frown, but the doubts in his heart became even more confused.

Unexpectedly, he turned the corner of the corridor in a daze and bumped into someone. He quickly stepped back and said, "I'm sorry, young lady, I didn't mean to do that."

He raised his head and looked at the woman.

"You? You! Why did you come out so soon?"

He pointed at Shen Wen who suddenly stood in front of him and said in surprise.

Shen Wen, however, remained calm and composed. She waved her hand in front of Shen Shufeng and said, "Don't be silly. The person in the door is not me at all."
