Reborn, seduced the prince and killed his wife to become his favorite concubine

Chapter 151 Returning to Mother’s Home

"In order not to irritate her, I may... not come here often in the future."

Then he looked at her again and said lightly.

"I know."

As long as she never comes over because she is pregnant, it would be a good thing.

Shen Zhishu continued to nod, showing great understanding.

Then Yan Chu was speechless.

I didn't stay overnight and just left.

He did not go to Jingyiyuan, but returned to his own Yayuan.

Xiaodie followed Yan Chu all the way and came back to tell her about this.

So what is this guy thinking?

"I feel that the prince doesn't really like the princess. He didn't seem happy when he brought her back today. Instead, he seemed worried. Could it be that the prince's mind is on you now?"

Xiaodie made a bold guess.

"You are heartless and complain about too much trouble. How can your ideas be reliable?"

Shen Zhishu disagreed.

No one knew better than her how deep the love-hate entanglement between these two people was.

If it weren't for deep love, how could a man dismiss his harem for a woman, promise to be together for life and actually do it?

"Then why don't you think that the prince actually likes you a little bit?"

"Maybe a little bit, earned by beauty and body, but it won't last forever."

Shen Zhishu did not deny this.

After all, from the very beginning, she had always been seducing Yan Chu intentionally or unintentionally.

"So many times, so many nights, you should be tired of it, right? But I see that our prince is treating you better and better."

Xiaodie curled her lips, not satisfied with her master's explanation.

Shen Zhishu didn't hear a word the other party said and thought he was talking nonsense.

She didn't see Yan Chu again in the next few days.

But Chu Er would send some fresh fruits every day, saying that it was arranged by the prince.

I haven't seen him, but I hear his name every day.

She thought, maybe he felt guilty because he had just confessed his feelings to her and now he was getting together with Su Rong again?

But such guilt will not last long.

If I do nothing, I might soon be forgotten by Yan Chu.

Early that morning, Chu Er brought the newly acquired peaches.

"Where is the prince?"

This was also the first time in five consecutive days that she had asked about it.

Chu Er was a little surprised.

"The prince is having lunch with the princess. She has not had a good appetite since she came back. She vomits everything she eats. The imperial physician said that she is very weak now and must be watched at all times."

But I still answered truthfully.

Then Concubine Shen fell silent.

"Your Highness has been very busy these past few days. Just watching the princess eat has exhausted him."

He wanted to explain that the prince didn't mean to not come here to visit.

I’m afraid that Concubine Shen will be angry with the prince.

"We still need to find a doctor to take good care of the princess. She is carrying the prince's first child, so there can't be any mistakes."

Shen Zhishu nodded. How could he not know how hard he was working?

"I wanted to tell the prince to go home, but since he is so tired, forget it. I would like to trouble you to help convey my message to the prince when he is free."

Chu Er was stunned by what he said.

So Concubine Shen is going back to her parents' home? Because of the prince's neglect?

"Don't get me wrong, I just don't have any experience in planning a wedding. Miss Zhao will be getting married to Li Yan soon, and I have some details to ask my mother."

Shen Zhishu explained again.

Chu Er was half-believing and half-doubting, but he didn't dare to ask about his master's affairs.

Then after breakfast, Shen Zhishu returned to the Shen Mansion.

When Yan Chu came back from hunting pheasants for Su Rong, he learned that she had already gone back.

"Did she say when she would be back?"

He frowned, and then there was no more emotion.

Chu Er shook his head blankly.

"Shouldn't we go out in the morning and come back in the evening?"

Is there any need to ask this? Concubine Shen is now a member of the palace, so why shouldn't she return home?

Yan Chu fell silent for a moment and didn't ask any more questions.

After Shen Zhishu returned to the Shen Mansion, she was not idle. When she learned that her father was still handling a case in the Dali Temple, she asked her brother to take her to the Dali Temple.

As soon as they met, Shen Zhishu realized that his father looked haggard, with dark circles under his eyes, and the whole room was filled with messy files scattered all over the floor.

He looked like he hadn't rested for several days.

"A serial murder case occurred in the eastern suburbs of Kyoto these past two days, killing more than ten people, including the young master of the Censor's family. The Censor has been coming to the Dali Temple all day to find the real murderer. The other victims were also of extraordinary status."

Shen Jie then shrugged helplessly and told the truth.

Because he was also quite haggard.

"When did this happen?"

"It's been almost ten days, the day after you and the prince left Kyoto. Dead bodies are found in the ruined temple in the eastern suburbs every day."

"How do you know when I left the city?"

Shen Zhishu was confused.

I never mentioned to my elder brother about going out of the city with the prince, unless he went to the palace to ask specifically.

But given my brother's personality, it would be impossible for him to go to the palace unless it was urgent.

"Didn't you meet Concubine Liu? She told me on the street."

Shen Jie chuckled, saying that he met her so suddenly. She pulled him to chat, and she sounded a little aggrieved while talking.

It's her.

Shen Zhishu was speechless for a moment.

"Are you here? I found a clue about the Tingfeng Tower you asked me to check."

When the haggard Shen Wang saw his daughter, he stood up and forced a smile.

He held a file in his hand and handed it to Shen Zhishu.

"We found out that the person who funded the opening of Tingfeng Tower was none other than King Shuo, and half of the people in the tower are King Shuo's secret guards."

It’s so clear.

"Father, you are so amazing."

Shen Zhishu deeply admires his father, he is definitely a very capable man.

Suddenly, Shen Wang smiled proudly.

Which father would not be happy to be praised by his own daughter?

But the next second, as he swept the things on the ground, his face immediately turned gloomy.

"If my father was really that powerful, he wouldn't be completely clueless until now."

This case currently makes him very frustrated.

"No clue at all?"

Shen Zhishu couldn't help but wonder what kind of case could have tortured his father into this state.

"No, these victims have no connection, and they have no common characteristics, let alone common enemies. The only similarity is that they are either rich or powerful, and none of them are poor. Moreover, the ruined temple was not the first crime scene. At most, it was just the place where the bodies were dumped. To this day, I still don't know where the crime scene is."

Shen Wang smiled bitterly.

Looking at that expression, he was really frustrated to the extreme.

"Your eldest brother has been guarding near the ruined temple for a while, but he didn't find anything. We don't even know how the murderer dumped the body."

Shen Jie also smiled bitterly as he spoke.

All in all, the father and son were devastated.
