Chapter 314 Danger Warning
Chapter 314 Danger Warning
Lord Shen was carried out of the imperial study. The imperial physician who came rushed to the corridor of the imperial study and felt Lord Shen's pulse. He said, "You are suffering from an attack of anger. I have a first-aid pill here. Take one first and go home to recuperate."
After that, the imperial physician left, leaving only Lord Shen and his son Shen Pingchang. The eunuch next to them also disliked the two men, and received the emperor's order not to serve them, and told them to get out of the palace immediately.
Lord Shen got up and walked tremblingly in front, followed by Shen Pingchang who looked like a walking corpse.
Lord Shen now wanted to strangle Shen Pingchang to death or beat Shen Pingchang to death, but he was old and weak and barely had the strength to move his fingers.
Lord Shen turned around and smiled at Shen Pingchang, saying, "In the end, I was tricked by you two. Do you think you can get rid of my control like this? It seems that I am too kind to you."
Master Shen Wu was used to showing weakness in front of others. He pleaded, "Father, please let my son live."
But only Lord Shen knew what his son was like when he was really afraid and begging for mercy. His attitude was simply a provocation. Unconsciously, he discovered that his son was not a timid person at all, but a hateful person. He probably hated his father to death.
It was a sin. He had the audacity to seduce and rape Ziying, and almost caused the entire Shen family to perish. Why did he soften his heart at the time? He should have killed the little beast to eliminate the disaster.
Lord Shen calmed down and turned around to walk away calmly. He said, "Let's do this. Back then, it was because the late emperor was too powerful that I was terribly afraid of him. Now our little emperor... you already know that your son is a disaster. Do you think only one or two people covet him? There are many people who covet him, such as Prince Rui. Let's go back and meet Prince Rui if we have a chance. Ask him if he wants any good things and see what price he can offer."
Master Shen Wu stared fiercely at Master Shen's back.
This time he was no longer afraid of his father's vicious words, because he knew that his son was not a cowardly fool.
Let’s fight!
He enjoyed watching the fun.
Shen Wen and Ruan Qingxia soon arrived at the gate of the Prince's Mansion. The two guards on duty recognized Ruan Qingxia and greeted him. While the two sides were talking, a man walked out of the gate of the Prince's Mansion. The man was holding a whisk in his hand, and he was wearing a moon-white robe with a yellow belt around his waist. On the belt hung a token with the words "National Master" on it.
Shen Wen was standing facing the man. He was the first one to see that man, and his pupils contracted.
Only then did the others see the man.
Ruan Qingxia quickly bowed and said, "Is the Imperial Master here too?"
The two guards also saluted to the Imperial Master.
The state teacher looked peaceful and bowed like an immortal. He nodded and said, "Greetings, everyone."
Shen Wen frowned and looked at the Imperial Master.
Is this eye-sleight of hand so amazing? Or is there something wrong with my eyes?
This is not the Imperial Master Yi Dao at all, this is the big daddy Chunyu Lihe from the West Palace.
Master Yi Dao, in the eyes of everyone, walked to Shen Wen with a smile and passed him by under the gaze of Ruan Qingxia and the guards.
Yi Dao didn't communicate much with Shen Wen, they just passed by.
But when he walked away, Shen Wen heard a clear voice in his ears: "Why are you so surprised? I came here to save your life, little thing. You have been cursed by Princess Wanfu's personal attendant. If I hadn't come, you would have gone crazy and died suddenly."
Shen Wen paused and looked back at the figure of Master Yi Dao walking away.
"Master Shen...Master Shen?"
Seeing that he was staring at the Imperial Master's back in a daze, Ruan Qingxia called him several times tentatively.
Shen Wen turned around, his expression had calmed down, he said: "Nothing, Lord Ruan, let's go in."
The two first went to the crime scene in Penghui Pavilion in the front yard. Penghui Pavilion is located in the most central position of the entire front yard. It does not look big from the outside, but it is a different world inside. The winding paths are connected to each other, and the scenery is connected to one another, making people feel dazzled and interested.
Thinking that the beautiful scenery before my eyes is already the dilapidated Prince's Mansion, I wonder how much more exquisite it would have been when it was prosperous in the past.
The body was on the small bed in the closet of the secret room behind Penghui Pavilion.
Shen Wen carefully examined the bones. It was a man in his twenties. He had some preliminary knowledge of his height and features before death. He and Ruan Qingxia checked the surroundings. It looked like a person suddenly got sleepy and walked into the closet alone to sleep on the small bed. Then he died in his sleep. There were no signs of murder around him. It was extremely natural.
I went to the crime scene of the other four skeletons, and they were completely different from the first one. One was abandoned in a dry well in the backyard, and the other was buried under a century-old tree in the backyard. It was an ancient sycamore tree. It was said that the prince loved the tree very much when he was alive. He built a garden just for the tree and planted all the flowers in the world around the tree in the whole yard. Now the flowers have died and it is a bare yard.
Another interesting thing is the bones. One was found under the prince's bed, and the other was found in the ancestral hall, where the prince's coffin was placed. Although the prince's coffin was buried that year, the bones were not only placed in that location, but also wrapped in a fine coffin. It's really amazing. After so many years...
"If the young emperor had ordered people to clean the prince's mansion every year, he probably wouldn't have discovered such a large coffin parked in their ancestral hall today, right?"
Ruan Qingxia said: "In fact, this is the will of the late emperor. The young emperor is not allowed to enter the prince's mansion and disturb the prince's soul before he turns twenty."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wen couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
I don’t know how much the late emperor disliked his prince son.
The two searched the ancestral hall but found no clues. Ruan Qingxia said, "It seems that it is too long ago. It is really difficult to investigate this time."
Shen Wen looked at Ruan Qingxia without saying anything.
Ruan Qingxia asked: "What's wrong? Why is Lord Shen looking at me like that?"
Shen Wen said, "Master Ruan, have you really made no other important discoveries? Haven't there been one or two wronged souls who came to tell you about their grievances?"
Ruan Qingxia shook his head like a rattle and said, "No, I really didn't see a single wronged soul. I'm afraid that soul has gone to hell and reincarnated this time. After all, it's been so many years."
After saying that, Ruan Qingxia looked at Shen Wen with amusement and laughed.
Ruan Qingxia said: "Master Shen, this answer is quite humorous, isn't it?"
Shen Wen scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I always make jokes like this, I won't do it next time."
As he spoke, he inadvertently glanced at the parked coffin, and his eyes immediately froze.
There was a person sitting on the lid of the coffin, and that person was also looking at Shen Wen with a smile.
"Childhood Dream"
Shen Wen couldn't help but blurt out.
Ruan Qingxia saw that he was distracted, so he looked in the direction of his eyes, but didn't see anything. He asked, "Tong what? What did Lord Shen see?"
Shen Wen quickly said: "Nothing, I was just a little dazzled."
This time it was Ruan Qingxia who joked, "No wonder Lord Shen keeps saying he can see ghosts. It turns out Lord Shen has this ability. That's easy. Lord Shen, why don't you communicate with the ghost and see what's going on?"
Shen Wen shook his head and smiled bitterly, "How could that be? I didn't expect Lord Ruan to hold such a grudge and immediately return the joke I made earlier."
Ruan Qingxia smiled.
The two men were silent.
Ruan Qingxia continued, "But speaking of which, who did Lord Shen see just now? Why did he blurt out the name so quickly?"
Shen Wen shook his head and said, "I just thought of someone. I think this person may help us find some breakthroughs in this case."
Ruan Qingcheng said: "Oh? Who is that person? Does he have any good ideas?"
Shen Wen said: "Master Shen, you don't know that some ghosts can process and modify skulls that have not seen the light of day for many years, and restore them to their appearance before death, and they are exactly the same."
Ruan Qingcheng's eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly asked, "Where is he? Can you bring him here right away so we can see his magical skills?"
Shen Wen said: "This person is at my house. He is following me to do things. I will go home later and tell him about this matter. I will ask him to restore the skull as soon as possible."
Ruan Qingxia was immediately delighted when he heard this. He walked around twice and said, "How about this? Your servant is at your house. I will immediately order the yamen runners to go to your house and invite him here. It's such a good thing. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
After saying this, Ruan Qingxia hurriedly ran out to give instructions to the yamen runners.
Shen Wen was left alone standing at the door.
Shen Wen turned around to look at Tong Ming who was sitting on the coffin and asked, "What are you doing here? Could it be that this case of bones in the Prince's Mansion has something to do with you?"
Tong Ming blinked his eyes, happy for Shen Wen's intelligence, but he said: "I'm here to tell you to go home quickly. Remember! You must go directly home, and don't go anywhere else. Someone wants to take out your heart to make medicine. It's terrible."
As soon as Shen Wen heard this, he knew that Princess Wanfu wanted to take revenge on him. Shen Wen said, "Two gods came here to warn me. It seems that the follower they sent to deal with this time is not simple. Why? Could it be that even if you two join hands, you can't beat the follower beside Princess Wanfu?"
Tong Ming smiled frivolously, put his slender jade fingers on his lips and said with a "hush" sound: "This is a fight between immortals. Who can be sure of something that hasn't happened yet? It can't be said! It can't be said..."
After saying this, Tong Ming disappeared from the spot.
Shen Wen felt that he was becoming increasingly insignificant and weak. These great gods were truly great gods in the true sense of the word. They could make him die with just a flick of their little fingers.
The disappeared Tong Ming was just a wisp of soul that separated from his original place. At this time, his real body was serving the little emperor.
They were not in the main hall of the imperial palace, but in a dark room in the sky prison.
On the wall of the dark room, a bloody man who had been tortured was hung with iron chains.
The little emperor had an irritable expression. If it weren't for the self-control he had acquired as a superior over the years, he would have whipped the criminal on the wall himself.
