The Demon Concubine of God

Overnight, the entire capital was devastated by the blood talismans that had appeared in all directions the previous night. Over the next three days, many civilians died in the capital, and the city fell into a state of depression. White paper and white banners could be seen everywhere, and funeral processions continued to form on the streets.

The little emperor sitting in the golden palace in the imperial city has already received reports of public anger and grievances from various government offices.

Guo Sheren stood behind the little emperor, looking at his master's increasingly thin figure, his eyes full of worry and concern.

For three consecutive days, he kept watch over the little emperor at night, and saw that he was always awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night, and he would always get up and go crazy like a sleepwalker at midnight.

Guo Sheren remembered these things clearly. He slept soundly on the first night and was awakened by the little emperor's nightmarish talking in his sleep. After comforting him to sleep, he also lay down beside the little emperor's bed and fell asleep. Unexpectedly, his little emperor fell down near the sinkhole where the demon was causing trouble in the morning. It was thanks to Young Master Ji who discovered him early and brought his men to carry him back.

The next night, he didn't go to the demon-suppressing tiankeng, but he did escape. He returned early the next morning, covered in blood. The young emperor even woke Guo Sheren from his sleep, his demeanor completely changed. He said to him in a sissy tone, "You're such a sound sleeper, poor me. I've been fighting all night and haven't gotten a good night's sleep yet. That Chu Yanqiu is so hard to kill. He's so strong even though he's half dead."

Whenever Guo Sheren thought of the unusual behavior of his little emperor that day, his hair still stood on end.

He returned home before dawn on the third night, still looking as effeminate as he did the day before. This time, he calmly sat on the dragon bed, gracefully stroking a strand of hair across his chest. His eyes were as charming and alluring as a woman's as he surveyed his surroundings. "I failed again tonight. I miscalculated. Yuchi Magic Fairy recovered her powers in just two days. God is truly blind! The forbidden techniques of the Hundred Immortal Sects of Qianfeng Mountain are so miraculous! I'm so angry at myself for helping Yuchi Lian so much. If that despicable Yuchi Lian hadn't used Shen Wen as a hostage to threaten me, I wouldn't have been able to act rashly. Otherwise, we would have both suffered losses and been doomed."

Guo Sheren pulled his thoughts back and stared at the little emperor who was writing the imperial edict without blinking.

It's so strangely tight!

There was no way he looked any different from usual.

At this time, the young emperor finished writing an imperial edict and looked up at the gate of the Golden Palace. He half-turned his head and asked Guo Sheren, "Didn't I send someone to invite the young master Ji Zichu? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

Sheren Guo quickly replied, "Young Master Ji has only had a bath today after many days. You forgot about Master Chu Yanqiu from Duke Ji's residence. He was also hunted down and seriously injured a few days ago. Young Master Ji went to visit his second brother at Duke Ji's residence."

The little emperor then remembered this matter. He said, "Yes, look at my memory. I just mentioned Chu Yanqiu before drafting the decree. For the past three days, the imperial doctors in the palace have been queuing up to be invited into the Duke Ji's mansion to treat Chu Yanqiu. I guess the whole mansion is in chaos. I wonder how Sister Shen is doing in the Duke Ji's mansion? I think you should go to the Duke Ji's mansion in person and see for me how Sister Shen is doing. If she is not doing well there, then you can take my imperial decree and forcibly take Sister Shen out and bring Miss Shen back to the palace."

But Guo Sheren did not obey the order immediately. He just looked at the little emperor worriedly.

Now is the critical moment. Guo Sheren is only concerned about the safety of his little emperor. He is afraid that if the little emperor suddenly falls ill like the previous three nights after he left for a while, what will happen?

Seeing him like this, the young emperor knew what Sheren Guo was thinking, judging by the tacit understanding between master and servant over the years. He said, "Just go ahead. It's okay with me. Sister Shen means something special to me. I'm really worried about her."

Guo Sheren had no choice but to obey the young emperor's arrangement, took the imperial edict and left the palace to go to the Duke's Mansion.

The door of the Golden Palace was opened, and the little emperor looked at Guo Sheren's departing back, slightly dazed.

He himself did not notice the slight cunning light in his eyes.

It was as if there was another soul living inside that was happy and excited.

She's very happy with the way things are going.

The small force of blood talismans stolen by Yuchi Lian was eliminated, and the blood talismans that Lord Shen handed over to the old emperor were also mostly destroyed. In addition, the blood talisman army that Prince Rui had been expanding was not as strong as the previous two forces of blood talismans. No matter how many people there were, they also lost thousands of people in this melee.

At that time, it was the Duke Ji’s Mansion.

Chu Yanqiu's condition has improved, but he is still in a coma.

All the family members of Duke Ji's mansion, young and old, were in Chu Yanqiu's courtyard in the second house, waiting for Chu Yanqiu to wake up, except for Madam Ji who was recuperating from illness.

Master Ji Er came out of Chu Yanqiu's house and stood in the corridor. He saw his elder brother Master Ji Da pacing back and forth not far away.

Master Ji Er called out "Big Brother" and walked over and said, "I've already told you that Yan Qiu is fine now. I think you don't need to stay in this yard anymore. You haven't had a good rest in the past few days because of Yan Qiu's situation. I think you should go back to your own yard and rest."

Master Ji frowned and said, "Don't worry about me. I'll go back as soon as Yan Qiu wakes up."

Since Master Ji Er couldn't persuade his elder brother, he just let him go.

At this time, they saw at the gate that an imperial physician who was about to leave was pulled away by a little maid who suddenly came to ask for him to come.

Master Ji II speculated, "I heard a maid say that Madam Liu in the eldest son's room isn't getting better. This maid is probably from her courtyard, and she came to ask the imperial physician to visit Madam Liu as well."

Master Ji felt upset whenever he thought of Madam Liu.

He didn't know what sins he had committed in his previous life to give birth to a bastard like Ji Ziyan. Even the wife he married was a bastard. Not only could she not win the man's heart, but she also talked back to her mother-in-law all day long, which made his wife, Madam Ji, so angry that she went crazy and committed suicide.

Master Ji said, "Let's not talk about her. She is an unlucky thing."

When he mentioned the word "unlucky stuff," he suddenly remembered something and said, "I remember someone told me that the woman from Yanqiu's room has been living in Liu's room these days. Is that true? No! Why am I just remembering this now? I'm going to Liu's room right now and kick that Shen out."

But Master Ji Er grabbed him and said, "Brother, why are you doing this? If you kick her out, where can she go? The Shen family is now in ruins, and even the old Marquis Shen has left the capital on business. She has nowhere to go."

Master Ji suddenly became angry. He really hated that...that woman from the Shen family.

He said angrily, "Who cares where she goes? She can't stay in our Ji family. She...she's a demon. I think all the troubles our Ji family has encountered over the past year are because of her. I don't know what you two are thinking. You don't spoil your son this much. You shouldn't keep her to seduce Yan Qiu."

Master Ji Er touched his nose.

He thought his elder brother had probably forgotten about it. A few days ago, he came to inquire about Chu Yanqiu's murder because of Shen. He was shocked at the time and never dared to mention Shen again.

Master Ji Er also felt unspeakable sadness in his heart.

He knew very well that his son did not belong to just the couple. In the past, his son was monopolized by his father-in-law, the Lord of Xiliang City. Now...

Until the couple saw with their own eyes the legendary immortal ancestor coming to Duke Ji’s mansion.

It’s really hard to put it into words.

The two men were talking in the corridor when they saw the steward come in anxiously to report that a holy envoy had come to convey an imperial decree, asking them to receive the emperor's order.

The two masters hurriedly adjusted their demeanor and frantically instructed their servants to be cautious.

Unexpectedly, the palace servants who delivered the imperial edict arrived so quickly. In just a moment, they were already at the gate of the courtyard.

The two masters of the Ji family hurriedly knelt down at the gate of the courtyard to receive the order.

It turned out that His Majesty was still thinking about Chu Yanqiu and their former sworn brotherhood, so he specially sent the eunuch Guo Gonggong to convey his condolences and also sent rows of tonic herbs to Chu Yanqiu's yard.

After Eunuch Guo finished delivering the imperial edict, he smiled and invited the two masters to stand up and exchanged pleasantries with them for a while.

Only then did he tell him what His Majesty had instructed him to do before he left the palace.

Eunuch Guo said, "Lord Chu of this mansion is ill, so Lord Shen, who is staying at Duke Ji's mansion, should not bother him any more. When I came here, His Majesty also instructed me to take Lord Shen away immediately."

Having said this, Eunuch Guo immediately ordered his disciple behind him, "Come here, bring Master Shen out now. We will return to the palace with Master Shen to meet His Majesty."

The young eunuch immediately took the order and walked up to Master Ji Er and asked, "I wonder which guest house Master Shen is staying in now? Master Ji Er, please have someone show me the way. I will invite Master Shen over right away."

Master Ji Er looked hesitant.

But Master Ji, who was beside him, was already happy. He immediately rushed to say, "Since His Majesty has invited Lord Shen, then we will send someone to invite him. There is no need to trouble this young eunuch. My servants are quick enough and can invite him right away."

As Master Ji said these words, he glanced at the butler who was standing nearby, and the butler immediately turned and ran away. Perhaps it was because he was a butler that he was efficient and understood his master's intentions.

Eunuch Guo hadn't expected this to go so smoothly, and a smile spread across his face. He was finally happy.

While everyone was waiting at the gate of the courtyard, Chu Yanqiu in the main house suddenly opened his eyes, which made the master, servants, imperial doctors and others who were waiting in the house extremely happy.

Especially Mrs. Ji Er, she immediately ordered the little maid behind her to go out and tell her own Master Ji Er.

The little maid ran out of the house in a hurry, looked up and saw a group of people at the gate. She saw the figure of Master Ji Er at a glance, and she couldn't help but call out Master Ji Er.

After hearing this, Master Ji Er immediately turned around to look at the little maid.

He scolded the maid, "Where did you come from, maid? Don't you know there are guests outside? Why are you standing there yelling?"

The little maidservant was almost frightened by the scolding of her own second master. She walked timidly to the second master Ji. Fortunately, she knew that she had to explain clearly, otherwise she would be punished by the second master Ji and she would be wronged.

The little maidservant said, "Second Master, go check on him! Our young master has woken up, finally woken up!"

Hearing her say this, everyone exclaimed.
