The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 243 There is still one way to go

Shen Maofeng was taken into the palace, to a deserted palace. Before he could ask the two palace servants where they were, they were gone. He panicked and called for help with a trembling voice, but no one answered. There was a cold wind blowing in the darkness, and he was knocked unconscious in the blink of an eye.

Shen Maofeng didn't know how long he slept in a daze. In his dream, he only felt that he was in a warm and fragrant tent, and a pair of soft and fragrant arms were touching his body randomly, which made him feel horny and happy. He did what he usually liked.

But halfway through, he heard another man's voice. Such a ridiculous episode made him sober up immediately. He tried to open his eyes and see clearly. He vaguely saw...

"what!"

Shen Maofeng screamed in fear. How come he saw his brother Shen Yefeng on his own bed?

The hand fell on the half-lying body, and fortunately it was the softness of the woman.

Shen Maofeng looked down at the woman under his command.

Fortunately, she was his beloved lover, Princess Baocheng.

Shen Maofeng lay back down with peace of mind, wanting to sleep for a while longer.

Who knew that at this moment, there was a noise outside the room, as if a lot of people had come in. They pushed open the door and came to the bed aggressively.

"Sister Jiapin, these three bastards just lie in your guest room and do such a bad thing. I tell you, if you don't file a complaint with the emperor this time, you will have no face to live in this world."

The concubine named Jiapin cried softly and aggrievedly, "This time, Sister Yupin has the final say. If the emperor doesn't give me an explanation this time, I will crash to death on the steps to correct my mistake."

There was excitement in his words.

After saying that, someone pulled back the quilt of the person on the bed, making the three people who were woken up in a daze feel cool all over instantly.

My originally confused mind suddenly became clear.

"what……"

The scream of Princess Baocheng cut through the sky.

Such a harsh sound would wake up even a dead pig. When the Shen brothers woke up, they were so scared that they wished they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

The two concubines looked at the ugly white men and found it disgusting, so they asked the eunuch to throw their underwear to them and picked up the rest of the clothes.

He was tied up by the palace servants in such an ugly manner, and even the Princess of Baocheng County was not spared.

The three adulterers were brought before the emperor.

The little emperor squinted his eyes and saw the kneeling Princess Baocheng. He pointed at her and said, "Didn't you leave the palace? You are really spoiled. I gave you the honor of entering the palace at any time. Is this what you use it for? Baocheng, I think you feel that your head is too much of a hindrance, right?"

Princess Baocheng turned pale with fright. Now that this ugly appearance was revealed before His Majesty, she had no way to defend herself.

She cried out in grievance, "Your Majesty! I am innocent! No matter how foolish I am, I can't do anything wrong in the palace. Someone has framed me. Your Majesty must take care of me. You must find the murderer and clear my name! Your Majesty is wise!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiapin beside her knelt down and cried, "Your Majesty, Princess Baocheng is humiliating me. Now that it has come to this, I will say it! Princess Baocheng relies on your honor and favor, and every time she comes to the harem, she bullies concubines like me who are of lower rank. Not only does she humiliate me with words, she also asks people around her to teach me a lesson. I am afraid of her weight in front of Your Majesty, so I always tolerate her. Now she has done this, relying on her royal bloodline to the emperor, so her life is impossible to be in danger, and she also knows that I am afraid of her and will not reveal her secrets."

The Princess of Baocheng County was so angry that she pointed at Jiapin and shouted, "You are talking nonsense!"

Her domineering attitude finally aroused the little emperor's anger.

This is also because His Majesty the Emperor feels too much apology towards the concubines in the harem.

He was an emperor who could not have anything to do with women. He had so many women in his harem. Although their titles and treatment were always good, the women were all widows and lived a sad life. A woman without honor and royal heirs could not be considered a real royal person. That's why they were suppressed because of a little county lady like Baocheng and dared not speak out.

The little emperor didn't want to delve into the reasons, he just said: "Issue an order, the Princess of Baocheng County and the brothers of the Shen family, who are the sons of my ministers, have an affair and are causing chaos in the palace and are immoral. From today on, they will be deposed and demoted to commoners. The Princess's mansion will be taken back and she will be confined to the royal temple and not allowed to go out without the emperor's order. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed immediately. This is the order."

Princess Baocheng was really finished this time! She seemed to have lost her soul, and her whole body was numb and unconscious.

After the little emperor finished his decree, he stood up and left.

The personal eunuch Guo Sheren hurriedly waited beside him, supporting the emperor's arm, but glanced at the Shen brothers on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, what should we do with the two Shen brothers?"

The young emperor was reminded and took a look at Shen Maofeng and Shen Yefeng on the ground. He asked Guo Sheren, "God is merciful. Little Guo, how about cutting off their things and I will give them to you as slaves?"

Guo Sheren actually curled his lips in disdain and said, "Your Majesty, although I am not a perfect person, I still think that my moral character is flawless. I don't want these two people. I find them dirty."

The two brothers on the ground were trembling, they were still thinking about the four words "that thing". Especially Shen Yefeng, he was so scared that he urinated on the spot.

A foul smell reached the emperor's nose, and the little emperor was even more disgusted. He threw his sleeves and said, "They are indeed dirty things. Come here! Throw them both into the prison and lock them up first. I will specially reward them with a stick. I will reward them with a stick every day... just ten sticks a day."

The little emperor was very proud of his judgment this time and returned happily to his imperial study.

Princess Shanjin, who soon learned the result, was drinking tea leisurely. She and her husband, who was married, didn't know if they were of the same mind. She used the methods of the women in the harem to punish the Princess of Baocheng County, and her husband was even more busy.

The Prince Consort was furious and sent people to kill the old eunuch Gu Jia. First, because the old eunuch Gu Jia was an old man who was about to be buried, but he still refused to settle down. Second, because he knew that his nephew Chu Yanqiu already had evidence of several conspirators of Gu Jia who embezzled the gold mine. None of them could escape, and it would not make much difference if they died earlier or later.

At that time, in the mansion of Duke Ji, the second son of Chu, Chu Yanqiu, went to the courtyard of his concubine, Madam Xu, for the first time.

Mrs. Xu was naturally very happy. She served Chu Yanqiu with good tea and water. Chu Yanqiu waited for her to sit opposite him, and then said: "I came here today to ask you to take a look at a new painting I made."

Madam Xu said quickly, "I don't know which master created this work. When I was in my boudoir, I liked these things and I have seen and copied a few paintings. My husband asked me to appreciate one or two, so I will show my ugliness."

Chu Yanqiu smiled strangely. He asked someone to take out the painting and then spread it on the table.

Mrs. Xu then became extremely cautious and began to look at the painting carefully.

Mrs. Xu looked at the painting and found it more and more ordinary. It was like the garden scenery designed by the old men in the Ministry of Works. Apart from its neatness, there was nothing special about it.

Madam Xu said, "This? Forgive me for not being able to tell which famous artist this painting was created by. Even Hong Danian, the famous architect of the Ministry of Works in our court, can't match this."

Chu Yanqiu said, "Look carefully again. I'm not asking you to look at the painter, I'm asking you to look at the scenery and the craftsmanship on it."

Mrs. Xu looked at it carefully again, and this time she became more and more frightened.

Madam Xu's face turned pale. She naturally understood Chu Yanqiu's purpose. The secret in her heart was still known by Chu Yanqiu. She did not dare to raise her head to face Chu Yanqiu.

Chu Yanqiu slowly sat back in his seat and said, "The miners above are not made up by anyone, nor are they ancient people from a long time ago. On the contrary, these people are still alive. Not only are they alive, they are living well to redress their grievances. Look, the physical evidence in the painting, unfortunately, has fallen into my hands."

Madam Xu felt weak all over, and would have fallen if her personal maid had not supported her.

Madam Xu calmed herself down and told her maid to go outside the door and guard it.

After the maid closed the door, Madam Xu knelt in front of Chu Yanqiu. Madam Xu said, "My husband, please listen to my explanation. This matter was caused by my brother's confusion. He was also dragged into this by others. He didn't know at first that the way they said to make a fortune was to mine gold privately. He just made things convenient for those people, and my brother just received a little bonus."

Chu Yanqiu said, "If you said this before today, I would have believed it. But you probably don't know that the old eunuch Gu Jia was murdered. The letters and evidence found in his house are not what you said at all."

Mrs. Xu suddenly felt a darkness in front of her eyes.

Chu Yanqiu stretched out his hand and lifted her chin and said, "Speaking of which, you have done a lot of evil. The Chu sisters from Shuixie Tower were almost killed by you. Let's talk about their parents. The father of the Chu sisters, who was the county magistrate, was inexplicably assassinated by your brother and Shi Qicai. Could it be your idea?"

Madam Xu raised her head instantly and tried her best to deny it: "It's not me. It has nothing to do with me."

Chu Yanqiu said: "Do you know that the more excited the criminals are, the more it proves that they are the murderers. Don't you think that you are being too clever?"

Mrs. Xu felt that no matter how hard she tried to cover up the matter, it would be powerless.

Chu Yanqiu said, "You are very smart. Now that it has come to this, you have two options. One is to be divorced and go home, waiting for the incident to be discovered and your entire family to be confiscated and thrown into prison. The other is to stay in the mansion and wait to see your father and brother's family confiscated and thrown into prison. You will still be divorced and maybe... your situation will be even worse."

Mrs. Xu looked as pale as death.

Chu Yanqiu said: "But there is another way to go, that is, you personally expose the crimes of your father and brother in front of His Majesty, and your position in the Ji Mansion will remain unchanged."
