Chapter 496 Inherited That Curse
Chapter 496 Inherited That Curse
In the dead of night, the young emperor's palace became lively, bustling with people coming and going and brightly lit.
When Shen Wen arrived, this was the situation he saw. Even the numerous imperial guards stationed around the palace were making a ruckus, which unsettled everyone.
When she appeared in front of that one man in the crowd of Imperial Guards, he seemed to have been waiting for a thousand or ten thousand years, and grabbed her in one go.
"Why did you choose this time to come? How did you get in?"
Seeing Ji Zichu's surprised and anxious expression, Shen Wen's heart softened again for some reason.
She could have appeared at the palace gate in one go, but when she heard the Imperial Guards making a commotion outside, she remembered her promise to Ji Zichu that she would come back.
Hearing the Imperial Guard's deputy general quietly advising him to go back and rest, and not to take the promise seriously, Shen Wen felt a little guilty towards Ji Zichu.
Seeing Ji Zichu's haggard face and hearing his deputy recount his foolish act of insisting on guarding the position for a whole day, Shen Wen patted Ji Zichu on the shoulder and said, "I've been here for a while now, staying elsewhere and not coming directly over."
Ji Zichu looked back at the other Imperial Guards who were still chatting idly, and immediately ordered them to move away.
Then he turned back to speak to Shen Wen.
Ji Zichu said, "It's probably not appropriate for you to come here now. You don't know, do you? My cousin the emperor just woke up, and he's full of energy right now. But that's not all. His temperament has also changed drastically."
He paused for a few seconds, unsure how to proceed with what happened next, mainly because he found it absurd.
Shen Wen: "What's wrong? How come the little emperor has changed so much?"
Ji Zichu, a pure-hearted man, found it difficult to speak, and he even said it with a blush.
"As soon as he woke up, he ordered that a list of girls be chosen to serve him in bed, and he took a whole roomful of girls... He also became unusually extravagant and licentious, wanting to bring all the rare treasures and precious tonics from the palace into his room."
Shen Wen's previously puzzled brows immediately relaxed.
Then, looking at the Imperial Guards who had walked away, he said, "What's wrong with you all? Why aren't you on patrol duty?"
Ji Zichu said, "I just came out of my cousin the emperor's palace. He dismissed me from my post and sent me home to live a life of luxury."
"Nourish? Nourish your appearance?"
Shen Wen found this word quite intriguing.
"You're supposed to be taking care of your appearance? You've only just become an adult? And you're already living like an old person?"
Shen Wen couldn't help but tease.
Ji Zichu scratched his head in frustration and disappointment.
After laughing enough, Shen Wen patted him and said, "Alright, stop worrying about it. Just listen to your emperor cousin and go back to recuperate."
Ji Zichu said worriedly, "No! How can I just leave like this? But you, I should escort you out of the palace. Look at my cousin the emperor, he looks at a block of wood and wants to do *that* kind of thing. If he sees you, I'm afraid he won't let you go."
Shen Wen said, "There's no need to be nervous. I'm really not an ordinary woman."
Seeing her listening, Ji Zichu became even more nervous and grabbed her hand firmly, saying, "No! My cousin the emperor still has tyrannical tendencies; he has already killed several people."
so serious?
Shen Wen hadn't expected this.
At this moment, a terrible commotion arose from the palace, mixed with terrified pleas for mercy.
Shen Wen and Ji Zichu quickly ran closer to take a look. The imperial guards behind them didn't dare to act rashly, mainly because they were afraid of dying, so they dared not go forward.
Standing not far from the palace, Ji Zichu and Shen Wen saw several black-clad guards dragging two eunuchs, who were struggling and begging for their lives.
This wasn't the end of it. As soon as the show ended, the beauties of the harem who had been summoned into the palace were all driven out by the black-clad guards, like a flock of sheep being herded.
These beauties were all bare-breasted and looked utterly indecent. Shen Wen could see clearly that they had obviously been intimate with the little emperor in bed, or at least to the point of imminent sex.
Just then, from inside the palace, the young emperor roared angrily, "A bunch of useless trash! What kind of women have you taken in? They can't even arouse my interest!"
This style...
Shen Wen couldn't help but sneer.
Shen Wen glanced at Ji Zichu, then, ignoring the chaotic women who were about to suffer, she grabbed Ji Zichu's arm and pulled him outside.
As Ji Zichu followed her, he said, "My cousin the emperor has lost his temper. I'm afraid more people will die now. I don't know what's wrong. My cousin the emperor has never killed innocent people so indiscriminately before."
Shen Wen pulled him away from the palace quickly. Once they reached the outer wall, she said to Ji Zichu, "The country is in turmoil now. Your cousin should be more ruthless. Let's see what he does. We should just observe and not interfere."
Hearing her say that, Ji Zichu calmed down and said, "Then, let's go."
Shen Wen then told him to lead the way, but after the two had walked a few steps, Ji Zichu remembered the Imperial Guards who were still gossiping about their families. So he said to Shen Wen, "You wait here for me. I've sent them away. Now that I've been relieved of my post, they're not under my jurisdiction tonight. Let them go back to their duties."
Shen Wen told him to relax and wait where she was, asking him to wait for her first.
Watching Ji Zichu walk away quickly, Shen Wen turned around and hid in the shadows.
Ji Zichu, who had taken a few steps, couldn't help but turn back to look at Shen Wen. When he realized that the figure had suddenly disappeared, he immediately stopped.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and get back to work."
It was Shen Wen's voice. Ji Zichu's face lit up, and he immediately nodded in agreement and left.
By the time Ji Zichu actually went off to do his work, Shen Wen, who had been hiding in the shadows, had also disappeared.
Meanwhile, inside Shen Wenxin's new house.
Chu Yanqiu stood up from the bed, his cold eyes staring ahead.
If it weren't for the fact that looking directly at the Immortal Ancestor is a grave offense, he would have already stared a hole through Yuchi Lian.
Yu Chi Lian took two steps in place, her robes fluttering in the wind, exuding an air of noble purity that seemed unapproachable.
Yu Chi Lian said, "Look at you, you've almost degenerated into a cripple. This ordinary woman by your side just quietly left in your arms, and you didn't even notice?"
Chu Yanqiu's eyes flickered.
He didn't believe her; he trusted his own guess more than her explanation.
It must be some kind of magic trick the Immortal Ancestor has pulled out again. She must be creating an illusion for him. She has done many things like this before.
Yu Chi Lian looked at Chu Yanqiu, feeling a moment of exasperation. She sneered, "I think you're just a blockhead. How much trust do you think she has in you? How much does she know about what you do every day? Her methods are far more sophisticated than yours."
Chu Yanqiu's eyes flickered again, and he couldn't help but say, "I have nothing to hide."
Yu Chi Lian said, "Really? Then why didn't you tell her that the young emperor had died that day? You didn't even send anyone to communicate with her when the young emperor was on his deathbed. You've ruined two sincere friendships."
Chu Yanqiu really wanted to tell the Immortal Ancestor to "shut up."
Yu Chi Lian didn't say much to him. This kid was stubborn and difficult, so it was better to just take action.
So she raised her hand, and the 1.89-meter-tall Chu Yanqiu was like an object in her grasp, and then she instantly vanished.
When Chu Yanqiu opened his eyes again, he and the Immortal Ancestor had already arrived at the entrance of the young emperor's palace.
Meanwhile, the young emperor in his palace was still causing trouble. He not only exhausted himself, but also roused everyone in the entire palace and the capital, and once again gathered a group of handsome men and beautiful women.
As Chu Yanqiu looked at all this, he felt a strange sense of familiarity.
However, that's not the most important thing right now, because as a master, he sensed her presence.
Chu Yanqiu's attention was entirely focused on the aura emanating from the palace, and he even overlooked the scheming Immortal Ancestor behind him.
In the center of the palace, all the men and women knelt on the ground, trembling. At the edge, the palace maids and eunuchs knelt with their heads down, not daring to move an inch.
The ruler of the country who had brought them to the brink of life and death knelt on the ground like a dog, clinging to someone's ankle and pleading that he couldn't live without her.
The woman whose ankle was being grabbed was becoming increasingly impatient, desperately trying to pull her foot back.
Shen Wen was helpless. She regretted it now. She should have known better than to come and confirm her own thoughts.
The little emperor on the ground, holding Shen Wen, said greedily, his eyes gleaming, "You can't leave, I can't live without you. I am the ruler of a nation, and aren't you the most loyal subject of my Great Jue Kingdom? Even for the sake of the Great Jue Dynasty's thousand-year-old great cause, you must take care of me..."
chatter
Shen Wen clenched his fists, really wanting to punch him.
Shen Wen suppressed his anger and said, "Who said I was leaving? I'm going home to sleep. I'll come to court tomorrow to serve His Majesty the Emperor and dedicate myself to the great cause of our nation. Can you please stop acting like this? I'm not... the one who forced myself on you. You're really... really shameless for dragging me along like this!"
The young emperor wouldn't listen to any harsh words she said; he just grabbed her foot and wouldn't let go.
Shen Wen lifted his leg and swung it at him, even kicking him.
"I can't sleep without a woman by my side... Waaah... What's the point of my life if I can't touch a woman?"
The little emperor cried and complained, tears and snot streaming down his face.
Shen Wen laughed in anger, but when she turned to look at the women and men kneeling on the ground, she pointed at them and said, "There are so many people here, so many for you to choose from, and you're telling me you don't have a woman to sleep with?"
The little emperor's eyes were brimming with tears.
Everything he said is true!
"I feel nauseous whenever I'm near them."
The little emperor cried.
"Then you should change your man. Maybe you've had too many sex scenes and your tastes have changed. You can switch to a handsome man."
The little emperor is still crying.
"Men are disgusting too."
……
Shen Wen looked down at him intently.
he?
Did he inherit the curse from the original body?
It seems the stories in my dreams are all real.
Shen Wen, in one swift motion, kicked the young emperor away and quickly distanced himself from him by three meters.
She suddenly felt like a lamb being led into the tiger's den.
Dangerous!
To everyone's surprise, the next moment, a cry of alarm came from the eunuch beside them.
Their emperor collapsed and fainted after being kicked.
The servants panicked, and the clever ones quickly ran out to call the imperial physician.
At this moment, the newly appointed chief eunuch grabbed Shen Wen's arm and said, "Miss, please think of something! What should we do?"
Shen Wen had no choice but to lower his guard and squat down again to check on the young emperor.
