The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 210: Please bring Xiao 7 back

Outside the palace gate of the Daju Dynasty, officials and imperial messengers were coming and going. Among them, there was a group of people who were a little different. The leader looked anxious and kept looking into the palace gate. This person was the eldest master of the Shen family. The eldest master Shen was at home, discussing with his son about the sudden disaster of the Wu and Liu families. Since knowing that the Wu and Liu families were indeed dealt with by the people of the three houses, the two people were restless and looked like they were facing a great enemy.

Shen Maofeng pulled his father's clothes and said with a sad face, "It's all over... This gang of thugs really doesn't care about the consequences. My second uncle, fourth uncle, and seventh uncle have all been dealt with by them. I'm afraid that the mastermind like us is doomed. Father! Please think of a solution quickly. Who else can we count on?"

Master Shen said, "Didn't I tell you to go find Old Seventeen? Why are you so useless? Once you find Old Seventeen, kneel before him. For the sake of our bloodline, will he really ask those people to kill our entire family?"

Shen Maofeng said in embarrassment: "I can't find it. Besides... Old Seventeen is not a good person. Things are not that simple. Father, you didn't see it at the funeral hall of my uncles Wu and Liu that day. Old Seventeen is not only cruel, but he can't hide his intention to kill me. Father! Old Seventeen can't be relied on. Please think of who else can save the child?"

Master Shen suddenly said, "Father handed in a sign to the palace to see the queen early this morning, why is there no news until now?"

Shen Maofeng's eyes lit up, and he said quickly: "Yes, yes, yes! And my sister, as long as my sister can persuade the emperor to send the imperial guards to protect us, that will be great."

Master Shen said, "There is a way. What did I teach you? Don't panic when something happens. We can always find a way out. Oh, don't we still have your Princess Baocheng? I asked you to ask Princess Baocheng. Did you listen to me and do it? Princess Baocheng is a royal relative. She has weight in front of the emperor. With her relationship, maybe the emperor will pay more attention to our family. He can't bear to see those bandits persecute us, so he can just send the seriously ill to encircle and suppress them."

Shen Maofeng's face turned ugly when he heard about the matter of Baocheng County Lord. Recently, Baocheng County Lord had not seen him. Every time he sent a message to her, she did not reply at all. Later, he finally saw her, but before he could ask for help, he was slapped by the woman and scolded without thinking: "Don't you use your brain before doing things? At this time, you still come to see me! I sent you a message and asked you to kill your evil fifth brother, but you didn't do it? Let me tell you, if our matter is leaked, it will be a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the whole family. You can wait to cry in hell!"

Shen Maofeng said aggrievedly: "I...I secretly sent someone to do it, but Lao Wu unexpectedly became very cautious. The key is that he knew I would be ruthless to him. Every time we met, he threatened me, which made me anxious and hateful, but I couldn't do anything about him."

The Lord of Baocheng County was not here to listen to his excuses. She was fed up with Shen Maofeng and could not bear to stay with him any longer. She just said, "You must get this done for me. Otherwise, you might as well take the poison and die alone, which is better than everyone dying together."

Then, he left leisurely.

Now when he thought of this incident again in front of his father, he felt extremely humiliated and immediately lowered his head with a red face.

Shen Maofeng simply changed the subject and said, "Father, I'd better go to the Wu and Liu families first. They are suffering now, and it would be unreasonable for me not to go out and take a look."

Master Shen said, "What can you do if you go and take a look? I heard that the three masters of the Huang family are still unwilling to give up. They are running around everywhere, gathering all their friends in the martial arts world, and are going to come to the capital to fight with the three houses. I don't know if it's true, so you might as well go and take a look, and by the way, find out about this matter."

Shen Maofeng agreed and left.

As soon as his son left, Master Shen received a message from his father in the palace, asking him to go to the palace gate to pick up the old marquis.

Master Shen immediately realized that something was unusual. He did not dare to delay and hurried to the palace gate to guard it.

Master Shen was guarding the palace gate, but he missed the Tenth Young Master Shen Haofeng who came to deliver the imperial edict.

Not long after, Lord Shen dragged his tired and old body out of the palace.

Before Master Shen could come to help him, Lord Shen glared at her and scolded her, "What a good daughter you raised!"

The severity of the attack was comparable to a slap in the face, and it frightened Master Shen so much that he immediately lifted his clothes and knelt down.

Fortunately, Lord Shen knew that he was at the gate of the imperial palace, so he suppressed his temper and told his son to get up and go home.

Lord Shen was very angry when he entered the palace this time.

He wanted to make up an excuse to secretly meet his own queen, and waited at the palace gate with great anticipation for a long time. After finally waiting for the queen to announce the decree to enter the palace, Lord Shen entered the queen's bedroom with confidence.

Unexpectedly, I ran into the emperor head-on in the bedroom.

The emperor pointed at him and cursed, "So this is what you, the Shen family, are planning to kill me and let your good daughter take over the imperial power?"

Lord Shen was so frightened that he froze on the spot. He quickly knelt down and said, "I dare not! I have absolutely no such intention."

The emperor's personal eunuch whispered in Lord Shen's ear what had happened.

It turned out that the emperor had received an anonymous complaint that several second-rank concubines in the harem were secretly taking drugs. The emperor could not tolerate this, so he brought his men to the harem and investigated the palaces of each concubine.

As a result, when they arrived at Empress Shen's place, the drugs had not yet been checked, but the emperor blocked them in the bedroom and saw...

Seeing Empress Shen favoring... a beautiful palace maid on the bed!

Their clothes were scattered all over the floor, and the two of them had their necks crossed, acting as wantonly as they could be.

The most important thing is that Shen Yuanyi said, "In the future, you and I will be husband and wife, and there will be no third person to interfere. I know you and I will support you in ruling the world. I only ask that you love me and cherish me for the rest of your life and only look at me, okay?"

While the two were doing the forbidden thing, she kept calling "husband...husband", and was confused and almost crazy. She was not afraid even if she saw the emperor's figure, and did not take the emperor who came to catch her adulterer seriously at all.

The emperor was so angry that he pointed at them and ordered people to forcibly separate the wild couple. He first kicked Shen Niangniang twice, then turned around and pulled out the guard's sword and stabbed the palace maid to death.

When things developed to this point, the emperor looked at Lord Shen who was kneeling on the ground with cold eyes and said, "I didn't expect it! For the sake of your granddaughter, you, an old man, actually sent her lover disguised as a maid into the palace and secretly planned such a big thing."

Lord Shen was sweating profusely. Regardless of whether he had thought of a solution or not, he started by shouting, "I dare not. I didn't do it! I dare to swear to the heavens. If this is true, please send down a thunderbolt and strike me down immediately!"

The emperor asked, "Then tell me what you have to prove that this is false?"

Lord Shen pondered for a moment and said quickly, "That maid! I dare to conclude that the maid is definitely not a man in disguise. I beg the emperor to send a coroner to investigate. Once the investigation is completed, we will know the truth."

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Is this true? If we find out that the maid is a man, will I punish you with even more crimes?"

Lord Shen was not present when the incident happened, and his words to exonerate him were said in a hurry. But now that things have come to this, Lord Shen said, "I request that an autopsy be conducted before making a final decision."

The emperor then sent for the coroner to come into the palace for an examination.

The Emperor looked at Lord Shen and said, "Do you think that if it is really confirmed that the maid is not a man, you can get away with it? A noble concubine by my side is actually a freak with an addiction. Do you think I will forgive her?"

Lord Shen knew that his family was in trouble this time, so he could only answer: "I am guilty."

After the coroner's examination of the palace maid, it was indeed proved that the palace maid was a woman, not a man in disguise, but the woman had taken the drug Hua Xin San. The emperor also ordered people to examine Empress Shen's body, and it was also found that Empress Shen had taken the drug Hua Xin San, and she had become unconscious due to the overdose, and the symptoms caused by it have not subsided until now.

The emperor wanted to investigate the source of the drugs, so he naturally started with the Shen family. Many people around him wanted to win credit in front of the emperor, so someone reported that Madam Shen Si and others were reselling drugs by relying on the power of the government. It happened that Madam Shen Si's beloved son Shen Haofeng had just been given the status of eunuch, so the emperor asked someone to bring Shen Haofeng in for questioning. Shen Haofeng turned out to be a man who would sacrifice his relatives for the sake of justice. He confirmed that his mother was reselling drugs, and not only that, he also reported Liu Yixin, Shen Bifeng and others to the emperor.

The emperor spared Mrs. Shen Si's imprisonment in consideration of his meritorious service in killing her own relatives for the greater good, and allowed her to commit suicide by taking poison at home. He also gave the task of searching for other accomplices to Shen Haofeng.

Empress Shen Yuanyi fell ill and was imprisoned in the cold palace, which was considered to be for the sake of Lord Shen's dignity. Lord Shen was also driven out of the palace by the emperor.

As soon as Lord Shen came out of the palace and saw Master Shen, he was so angry that he trembled all over.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, the father and son locked themselves in the study to discuss the matter.

Not long after, Master Shen Si ran to the study in tears to ask for a meeting, cursing his son Shen Haofeng for being heartless and ungrateful, for forcing his mother to death, and wanting to sever the father-son relationship with his son.

Lord Shen was so angry that he lost all his elegant demeanor, and he beat Fourth Master Shen with a series of slaps and punches, making Fourth Master Shen even more embarrassed.

Master Shen didn't dare to force him and just pleaded for mercy.

Lord Shen was tired of fighting and sat on a chair and said, "You idiot, my son is my own blood. It was your wife who was a jerk who almost brought bad luck to our family. Go back and think about this matter carefully. Now that the empress in the palace has fallen, who will pass on the news to our family in the future?"

Master Shen Si thought about his father's intention, stopped crying and left in shame.

After today's hard work, Lord Shen sat lazily in the chair, looking exhausted, and he instantly looked much older.

Master Shen didn't dare to stay any longer and bowed and left.

Before leaving, Lord Shen said, "Go to Yingtian Prefecture where Xiao Qishi is working for two days. All of you go to the gate of Yingtian Prefecture and quickly invite him back to me."
