The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 233 The Reason She Exists in the World

On the night when Shen Wen moved into Zhanchan Palace, a man in black clothes and a black cloak came to the side hall of Zhonghe Hall, the center of the palace. The side hall of Zhonghe Hall is where the imperial master of this dynasty accompanies the emperor in the palace. Since Emperor Taizong, the highly respected imperial master has been pardoned to accompany the emperor all year round, and is specially allowed to live in the side hall of Zhonghe Hall. This special treatment has continued to the current emperor.

With the permission of the Imperial Master, the man in black was brought to the Imperial Master's room by the little boy. The little boy left cautiously, and the man sat down opposite the Imperial Master without hesitation.

The Imperial Master was not annoyed, but only smiled faintly. He said, "It is not a good thing for Lord Chu to visit the palace at night."

The Lord Chu he was referring to was naturally Chu Yanqiu.

Ever since the spy sent to keep an eye on the Shen family wrote yesterday saying that Shen Wen was sent to escort the Eighth Miss Shen to the palace, Chu Yanqiu's face has become gloomy and ugly, and he gnashed his teeth and cursed Lord Shen as an "old thing" and "despicable and vulgar".

It was still that old guy who sent the person to "that person's" mouth.

Chu Yanqiu took out something from his arms. It was a bead that looked like glass amber. He said, "The inner elixir of the three hundred-year-old flame tiger demon. I know the Imperial Master has been looking for this. Is the Imperial Master satisfied?"

The Imperial Master smiled and said, "Such a precious thing, Lord Chu is willing to give it to me. It seems that what Lord Chu wants is of great importance."

Chu Yanqiu said, "Master Imperial Master, why do you have to pretend to be ignorant when you know the truth? I'm sure the Imperial Master has already figured out why I came to see him."

The state teacher's expression suddenly became serious. He stroked his beard and asked carefully, "How long has it been since Master Chu communicated with the Immortal Mu Xi?"

Mu Xi the Immortal?

Chu Yanqiu's eyes shrank unconsciously, and he said: "Sure enough, the national teacher is really powerful. He even knows the relationship between my family and Immortal Mu Xi."

The Imperial Master smiled and said, "It's not a rare thing. After all, I have lived for several dozen years longer. When I was young, I was interested in hearing about this secret."

Chu Yanqiu said: "That's right. This old ancestor of our Ji family lived for too long. All the mortals who lived in this world have been reincarnated. Only immortals like the State Master know about this matter."

The Imperial Master poured tea for Chu Yanqiu and said, "Why do I feel like Lord Chu is indirectly scolding me for being old and immortal?"

Chu Yanqiu said: "That is absolutely not the case."

He said, "Since the National Master has pointed to my ancestor, how about I ask for a favor from the National Master in the name of my immortal ancestor?"

The Imperial Master said, "That's impossible. Lord Chu, you may not know. Many years ago, our branch of the Immortal Family owed a favor to the Immortal Mu Xi."

Chu Yanqiu was about to speak again when he heard this.

The Imperial Master interrupted, "Master Chu, listen to me. It's not that I can't help you with what you're asking for. But there are too many reasons involved, and I can't tell you too much. Master Chu, you... you should go back and ask your Immortal Ancestor for his opinion first."

Chu Yanqiu was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"

The Imperial Master asked, "Master Chu, do you know the origin of the young lady you want to bring to your side?"

Chu Yanqiu said, "He is a bastard from the Shen Guogong Mansion."

The Imperial Master shook his head and said, "He is the grandson of Emperor Shizong, the retired emperor, the Xianrou Consort who was welcomed back from Hanlu Mountain."

Chu Yanqiu frowned.

The Imperial Master continued, "What do you think of what the Retired Emperor did back then, Lord Chu? Was what the Retired Emperor did right?"

Chu Yanqiu said: "He is arrogant and lustful. If he hadn't been in love with Concubine Xianrou, how could he have had such evil thoughts and killed the prince? Absolutely..."

Chu Yanqiu suddenly realized that this was the imperial palace, so he stopped talking midway.

The Imperial Master said, "There is a reason for this. If it was Lord Chu who sat on the throne, he might have done the same, especially an outstanding figure like Lord Chu. When Emperor Shizong was young, he was also a talented person who made great contributions to the politics of his dynasty. He was a good king with great ideals, at least in his prime. The more great ideals such a person has in his heart, the more he hates that his life is too short, so he thinks about how to prolong his life. That's why he later favored Concubine Xianrou. Lord Chu, do you know what kind of person Concubine Xianrou is now?"

Chu Yanqiu frowned again.

The Imperial Master said, "Although the incident between Concubine Xianrou and the Emperor Retired has passed, there are still many people who want to be immortal, so some people have thought of catching wind and making up stories, and naturally they will not let go of Concubine Xianrou's bloodline. In the eyes of those people, that young lady..."

When Chu Yanqiu thought about Shen Wen, a clean and pure person with such a background, he felt a surge of anger in his heart.

The Imperial Master said, "Let's put this matter aside for now. Lord Chu, do you know why you are so obsessed with this young lady? It's not just what Lord Chu wants. I believe that when Lord Chu first saw this young lady, he didn't fall in love at first sight, right?"

Chu Yanqiu fell into memories and deep thought.

The Imperial Master said, "Lord Chu is like this, and in fact the Emperor is like this too. You two are not in love, but someone is using a forbidden technique on you. Lord Chu! Wake up."

Chu Yanqiu seemed to have grasped some fatal clue. He asked in surprise: "What are you saying?"

The Imperial Master nodded and confirmed his doubt. He said, "Lord Chu has been cursed and poisoned by a poisonous insect."

Hearing his shocking words, Chu Yanqiu instantly remembered something that happened in his childhood.

Chu Yanqiu's face became worse and worse. He stood up suddenly, a sinister look flashed across his face, and he left with a flick of his sleeves.

Leaving behind the national teacher with a stiff expression.

The Imperial Master smacked his lips and said regretfully, "It seems that you really don't love me. It's not like I don't agree... So, where is true love in the world?"

The Imperial Master shook his head.

He didn't know that Chu Yanqiu left in a fit of rage, but he sobered up a lot halfway and came back and ran straight to the West Palace with his sword in hand.

Chu Yanqiu was quite smart. He knew that the masters of the West Palace were not ordinary people. Once he entered their range, he would be discovered immediately. He entered from the Sangze Palace where the dead body was placed. The luck of the Sangze Palace was strange and dark, and it was incompatible with the immortal spirits. It was not good to stay there for too long, so no one in the West Palace liked to go to the Sangze Palace. The palace servants would also withdraw from the Sangze Palace at night.

Speaking of the dead body, he and the little emperor haven't seen him for many years since the accidental incident in their childhood.

It all started with that dead body.

Chu Yanqiu entered the main hall of Sangze Palace. In the center of the main hall was a crystal room covered with a green gauze cabinet. The dead body had been lying in the green gauze cabinet for many years without decaying. One could imagine how much medicine had been added to it. The crystal room outside was filled with strange patterns painted with gold and silk powder. It was said that there were spells hidden in the patterns. Some said they were used to suppress the corpse, while others said they were used to bring the dead back to life.

Chu Yanqiu didn't even look inside, and walked straight through the crystal room to the back hall. He walked through the back hall to find the servants' quarters. There was a small door left alone there, which was the door used to collect night incense in the past. It would be best to go out from there.

Chu Yanqiu went out of the small door and happened to see the toilet bucket left by the palace servant not far away. This toilet bucket just covered up his strange smell. After all, he was blessed by the immortal ancestor, so he knew something about the immortals. The immortals who were transformed from immortal beasts disliked the smell of coldness the most. This was just right. Even if the most powerful person in the West Palace noticed his presence, he would definitely think that he was a new palace servant who had accidentally broken in.

Shen Wen, who was sleeping soundly in Zhanchan Palace, was awakened by the cold air in the middle of the night. She got up in a daze and looked at the surroundings. It took her a long time to remember that he was still in this deserted Zhanchan Palace.

Shen Wen rubbed his head and suddenly remembered the dream he had just had. He thought of the man who called himself Hu Liuli, and Xiao Jiu, whom he had only met once.

Shen Wen sat on the bed thinking about the details in his dream, the screen painting about the fox, etc.

At this time, there were footsteps coming from the dormitory. Judging from the sound, it was the footsteps of a person.

The man walked very quickly, and in the blink of an eye he lifted the glass curtain and walked in.

He saw Shen Wen in a brocade shirt, looking at him in a gentle and charming manner.

His heart thumped a few times. He walked over and lifted up a lock of Shen Wen's hair that was left on her shoulder and said, "Shen Wen, Shen Wen... Does your name mean warmth?"

Shen Wen had a wooden face, and he pushed aside the lock of hair in his hand and said, "Mr. Xiao, is it you? I knew it..."

This Young Master Xiao is the little emperor.

He was still immersed in joy, sitting next to Shen Wen. Because he was too close, his left hand on the bed just pressed on Shen Wen's right hand.

He smelled the scent on Shen Wen and said, "It smells so good. So this is the smell of a woman."

After hearing him say this inexplicably, Shen Wen couldn't help but ask: "Why don't I understand what you are saying?"

He just doesn't understand. If the little emperor is a gay, he should smell the scent of a man and say that this is the scent of a man. After all, everyone can hear that he was exclaiming about the wonderful feeling. If the little emperor is not a gay but a normal person, it is illogical. The little emperor is not young anymore. In ancient times, men should have touched women when they were fifteen or sixteen years old. Not to mention the emperor, who is the supreme ruler. Any woman around him would be like a bee seeing honey, rushing to it.

The little emperor said, "Sister, have you forgotten? Didn't I tell you in that chess hall that I have a quirk of being unable to satisfy all the women? Do you believe me now? Sister, do you know why?"

Shen Wen said: "What's the reason?"

The little emperor said, "Because I am waiting for you! I have been a chaste man all my life just for you, my sister. I am a clean and chaste man."

The little emperor felt that these few sweet words of his must have moved Shen Wen so much that the corners of his mouth curled up in smugness.

But the next moment, the woman grabbed the emperor by the collar and lifted him up.

"You stinky man, you're so pure and chaste, what's so great about that? I've been a playboy who has taken all the women I've ever seen."

After saying that, he threw him out of the dormitory.
