Chapter 312 A Group of Mentally Ill Patients
Shen Wen thought of what Tu Yingguang had said to him.
Shen Wen turned around and walked towards Chu Yanqiu and said, "Your ancestor who is over 200 years old, wouldn't he come to the Daju Kingdom at this time?"
Chu Yanqiu was stunned by his words. He said seriously, "I don't know either. Why do you say that?"
Shen Wen said: "She sent a lot of people from the Jianghu, but they didn't kill me. She also sent a lot of people from the Immortal Sect, but they still didn't kill me. I think maybe she couldn't hold it back anymore and decided to come and kill me herself."
After hearing his analysis, Chu Yanqiu said, "Impossible! You are not qualified enough in her eyes. Your status is not worthy of her doing it herself."
Shen Wen shrugged and said, "For the time being, I think you are right. The emperor has issued an order to let me go to the palace to discuss Princess Wanfu's cession of land and compensation."
Chu Yanqiu asked: "You want to enter the palace?"
Shen Wen nodded, turned around and was about to leave with Tie Saner and Yan Sangeng, but was grabbed by Chu Yanqiu, who told the others to stay away. He said to Shen Wen, "You can't go to the palace anymore. The emperor is interested in you. If you enter the palace, you will be in danger."
Shen Wen said: "This has nothing to do with Lord Chu. Lord Chu pinched my neck and almost strangled me to death."
Chu Yanqiu was very emotional. He asked, "With your status, how much trouble will it cause if the emperor takes a fancy to you?"
Shen Wen broke free from the man's hand, turned around and left.
Chu Yanqiu blurted out: "You might as well marry me, and I will marry you."
Shen Wen turned around and looked at the man teasingly.
Who is he pitying? How narcissistic is this guy?
Qing Cheng, who had just woken up, called out in a daze, "Brother Chu..."
Qingcheng was extremely exhausted. He had just stood up and was about to fall down when he was grabbed by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Chu Yanqiu.
Qingcheng was still afraid that Chu Yanqiu would worry about her, so she kept saying that she was fine. Qingcheng was carrying a miraculous medicine developed by her family. Chu Yanqiu found a small bottle from her sleeve, opened the bottle, poured out two pills, and fed them to Qingcheng. Seeing her face slowly turning rosy, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Yanqiu turned around to look at Shen Wen again, but Shen Wen had already walked away.
Chu Yanqiu had no choice but to order his servants to send Qingcheng and Qingque, who was still in a coma, to another courtyard for recuperation.
There, Shen Wen entered the palace not long after. Since Ruan Qingxia did not wait for Shen Wen and entered the palace first, Shen Wen was left alone.
On the way to the palace, Shen Wen happened to meet Wan Fu.
Wan Fu stared at him, as if he was going to stare a hole in Shen Wen with his eyes alone, but Shen Wen laughed even more wantonly.
The attendant next to Wanfu gently pulled her sleeve and whispered to Wanfu to be patient.
Unexpectedly, Shen Wen walked up to Wan Fu, lifted up Wan Fu's face with his hands and said, "The wound on your face hasn't healed yet. Not only has it not healed, it looks even more horrible and uglier. If you become so ugly, will Chu Yanqiu still look at you straight in the eye?"
Wan Fu clenched her pointed fingernails into fists and gritted her teeth as she spoke, "I'm going to kill you. I will definitely kill you and then dig out your heart..."
Shen Wen crossed his arms and looked at her enduring pains and said, "This time you were rescued, you probably ate a few hearts from living people, right? How is it? Does it still work for your heart disease this time?"
Wanfu was enlightened by his words. The tone in his words was extremely mocking. Wanfu felt like he was seen through by this man.
Wanfu had been pretending to be sick for so many years that she had even forgotten that when she asked her mother to cut out the Crown Princess' brother's child to cure her illness, she did not have any heart disease. Later, she used this trick so many times that somehow, her heart disease became real.
The little follower beside Wanfu, who looked energetic but had a hidden edge, quietly pulled the dazed Wanfu aside, made way for Lord Shen Wen, and watched Lord Shen walk away.
Lord Chu Yanqiu, who saw this scene clearly from a distance, breathed a sigh of relief and walked away quietly through another path.
Shen Wen arrived at the door of the imperial study and was quickly called in by the Emperor.
The little emperor saw Shen Wen coming in from a distance while sitting on the dragon throne, so he got down from his seat with a smile and quickly welcomed Shen Wen in. The eunuchs serving on both sides were very considerate and moved two chairs together.
The little emperor took Shen Wen's hand, and they sat together and began to talk.
The little emperor said, "I heard that you have been assassinated many times along the way. This scared me. Fortunately, you have turned danger into safety and nothing happened."
Shen Wen listened to the little emperor's words and felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
Shen Wen smiled and replied: "This is all my fault. I have a mental illness."
The little emperor was stunned for a moment and asked stupidly, "What?"
Shen Wen said awkwardly: "I mean thank you, Your Majesty, for worrying about me. I am extremely grateful."
The little emperor smiled heartily.
That kind of smile is like the typical spirit of a gentleman.
There is no trace of the extremely obscene and lustful look he had when facing Shen Wen in the West Palace.
The little emperor laughed and said, "That Wanfu really deserves to be killed. I called you here just to ask you. If you really hate this person, then I will do as you wish and kill her quietly somewhere. That will put an end to it all."
Shen Wen's smiling expression gradually turned serious. He asked, "Is what your Majesty said true?"
The little emperor said: "Of course it is true."
Shen Wen said, "But the day before yesterday, His Majesty sent guards to tell me that Princess Wanfu must not be killed. Isn't the Immortal Venerable from Qianfeng Mountain going to protect her?"
The little emperor said, "Some people are destined to die. Even if the Jade Emperor said that Yan would protect her, this person's fate is like this. Shouldn't the Immortal Sect Master be reasonable?"
Shen Wen said: "But? What if?"
The little emperor held Shen Wen's hand, and the feeling was wonderful. No one else would know how he felt, wanting to give everything to his beloved.
The little emperor said, "Don't be afraid. I will protect you from everything. No one can take your life. I promise you that from now on, as long as the lives of others are in your hands, those people will only be worthy of being the mud under our feet."
Shen Wen couldn't believe it and couldn't help but blink twice.
Could it be?
Is the way he woke up wrong today?
Oh my god!
That was really not right. He seemed to have no chance to get up from the bed today. When he woke up, he was standing inside the vine formation of Taohuazhai.
Shen Wen broke the awkwardness between the two people and said, "Speaking of the compensation that Beifan Kingdom gave to our Daju Kingdom, does Your Majesty have any other requirements?"
The little emperor said, "Everything is up to you, my dear minister."
Shen Wen suddenly thought of a bold question, and he asked, "Your Majesty! Can I really kill that princess? Even if killing her means losing all the land and compensation, is that okay? Even if I kill Wan Fu in public to vent my anger, will you forgive me?"
The little emperor smiled again and said, "It's up to you, my dear minister, as long as you are happy with it."
Shen Wen stared at the little emperor he had just met.
Shen Wen continued, "Your Majesty once ordered me to thoroughly investigate the former case of bones in the Prince's Mansion. I heard that before this, Your Majesty went to the Prince's Mansion to investigate personally. Your Majesty, could you tell me the details of your observations that day?"
The little emperor was stunned by his sudden change of topic.
The little emperor said, "Let me think about it."
The young emperor said that he had heard about the skeletons in the Prince's Mansion, so he immediately called the witness who found the bones and the Minister of Justice who reported the incident. When he heard the Minister of Justice say that one of the skeletons looked like his father, the former prince, the young emperor immediately panicked and hurried to the Prince's Mansion.
Shen Wen said: "Doesn't the prince have his own mausoleum? How come another skeleton of the prince appeared now?"
The little emperor said, "The mausoleum is a cenotaph. My father died strangely. A dead body was found outside, but it was unrecognizable. It was only verified by a jade pendant. Later, in order to appease the people, the unrecognizable body had to be buried. When the body was buried, the late emperor already suspected that it must be a fake body."
Shen Wen said: "So, the bones that appeared now could really be the body of the real prince?"
The little emperor shook his head and said, "I don't know either. He is just a pile of bones now. How can I tell if he is my biological father?"
Shen Wen said: "Your Majesty, do you have a blood test to prove your relationship? Would you like to try this method?"
The little emperor said, "Of course I tried, but... I asked people to drip blood on those corpses and examine them. Every bone was mixed with so much blood. It's really strange."
Tomorrow morning, you should take the people from Yingtian Prefecture to the former Prince’s Mansion to check it out.
Shen Wen took the order.
The topic returned to the matter of Princess Wanfu entering the palace to negotiate the cession of land and compensation. Shen Wen pleaded with His Majesty to invite other important officials of the court, such as the prime minister and the minister, to come in for a detailed discussion.
The young emperor then ordered the eunuchs to bring the important ministers waiting outside the palace into the imperial study. However, knowing that the ministers had entered the imperial study one by one, the young emperor had no intention of separating from Shen Wen and returning to the dragon throne to handle government affairs. The young emperor just openly grabbed Shen Wen's hand and showed it to everyone else.
All the ministers who saw this were in disbelief and looked at each other in bewilderment.
The young emperor was not one to keep silent. The last person to come in, Lord Ruan, was treated as a soft persimmon by the young emperor. The young emperor asked Ruan Qingxia with a stern face: "Lord Ruan, do you think there is anything wrong with what I did? Lord Ruan, you can write a memorial to report it."
Ruan Qingxia is indeed a person who has traveled a lot and has seen a lot. He said with a smile: "Congratulations to your Majesty on your lucky star. I heard that your Majesty's East and West Palaces have been idle for many years. Now there are many vacant positions that can be filled."
After hearing this, those ministers who felt it was strange gradually accepted the reality. How could they forget that this young emperor, who was already in his twenties, had a very monotonous harem? They all thought that the emperor was born to love only them, and if he no longer favored the harem, wouldn't this huge empire fall into the hands of a side branch?
Shen Wen's expression was so interesting. What should he do? He was the only sober person. How could he deal with this group of mentally ill patients? Hey! Wake up!
Your emperor is a homosexual. How can homosexuals pass on their family line?
