The Demon Concubine of God

The young emperor was unconscious when Shen Wen carried him through time and space to the entrance of the Imperial Study.

The most loyal eunuch, Guo, was dead, and there was no one there to greet them at the entrance of the imperial study. It was Shen Wen who carried the young emperor into the room, calling out for a long time before the eunuchs and maids rushed in in a panic.

Seeing the delighted crowd, Shen Wen didn't give them a pleasant look and said rudely, "How did they learn the rules of this palace? They're so lax. Anyone who didn't know better would think that this great Dajue Dynasty was about to perish."

The eunuchs and palace maids all knew Shen Wen, and besides, the young emperor was unconscious nearby. Therefore, they both feared and respected Shen Wen. Even though she spoke so harshly, no one dared to say a word back, not even showing a hint of displeasure. Instead, they had to coax her with kind words.

However, Shen Wen didn't want to listen to their nonsense, so he hurriedly ordered them to find the imperial physician and also ordered them to bring the commander of the Imperial Guards and a troop of Imperial Guards to strengthen the defense.

Shen Wen's mind worked quickly. She knew that Chu Yanqiu would soon guess that she had already brought the young emperor back to the palace.

The thought of Chu Yanqiu's determination to kill the young emperor made her pace back and forth nervously.

However, she didn't have much time to prepare. When Shen Wen was inspecting the imperial guards that had been transferred outside the door, Chu Yanqiu appeared and she immediately noticed him.

Shen Wen naturally had ways to deal with Chu Yanqiu, who was about to go berserk, but she couldn't bear to do it. She turned around and beckoned the young palace maids who had just come out, and after confirming that the young emperor was still unconscious, she instructed them to close the door and stay by the young emperor's side to serve him.

The young palace maid bowed and agreed immediately, then hurriedly ran back.

In just that short time, Chu Yanqiu, who was originally just a small dot in the distance, had already moved forward and was face to face with her.

"You really are no surprise!"

Chu Yanqiu was very close to her, their faces almost touching.

Shen Wen didn't indulge him this time either, and pushed him away with considerable force, making him stumble back several steps.

"You can put on this act for a while, but you've become addicted to it."

Chu Yanqiu's eyes were blazing with fury.

Hearing this woman say such a thing, he almost burst out laughing.

His eyes were contorted with rage, and you could see the blood vessels in them.

Shen Wen then realized that she seemed to have said something wrong, but she was never a pretentious person. This situation was really awkward, okay? As a tomboy, what she hated most in her life was the sentimental and heart-wrenching stories of ordinary people. To be honest, those things really drained a person's intelligence, even more so than the saying that a woman becomes stupid for three years after pregnancy.

Chu Yanqiu just had a stubborn streak, and at this particular moment, he just had to stick to his guns.

"You think I'm faking it? You're entangled with those two people, and instead of giving me an explanation, you're accusing me of faking it and being unreasonable, right? Am I the one who's heartless towards you, or are you just being hypocritical towards me even now?"

As he finished speaking, an unexpected incident occurred: a mouthful of blood welled up in his throat and he couldn't help but spit it out.

Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, one drop at a time, onto his front, shocking Shen Wen, who hadn't paid any attention.

Shen Wen grabbed him, her eyes filled with anxious concern.

"How are you? Are you...are you stupid? I...I don't deserve this from you..."

They have shown me deep affection and kindness.

Chu Yanqiu looked at her, the sorrow in his eyes penetrating to the heart. To others, it would evoke sympathy and empathy, even to the point of shedding tears for him. But to Shen Wen, it caused a sharp, piercing pain in her chest, a pain so intense she wished she could rip her heart out to find relief.

“I was wrong! I shouldn’t have said those things. I actually… I actually fell in love with you a long time ago. I swear I’m not pretending. I can prove it to you. I’ll do anything you ask. I… as long as I can prove that what I said wasn’t a lie.”

Chu Yanqiu then relaxed, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at her, saying, "Really? You want to prove it to me?"

Shen Wen nodded solemnly, waiting for him to speak.

Chu Yanqiu said, "Then let's get married. I want to marry you openly and honestly, and you must agree to marry me in a grand and glorious way."

Shen Wen's eyes flickered.

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple."

Chu Yanqiu answered solemnly.

With everything laid out before them, Shen Wen had absolutely no reason to refuse the marriage.

At this moment, she showed a bit of the shyness of an unmarried woman, and she slowly nodded.

"but!"

Shen Wen still had a condition; she raised her head and looked at Chu Yanqiu.

She happened to meet Chu Yanqiu, who was waiting for her to continue, and their eyes met.

Shen Wen suddenly understood what a lover, someone who loves you unconditionally, really looks like.

Shen Wen suddenly felt relieved. She said, "The matter between me, the young emperor, and Prince Rui is considered over. The young emperor is the ruler of a country. It's not that you can't kill him, but it's our guilt towards the people of this land. The common people have suffered because of our impulsiveness. I think if I really see that day, I will never be able to let go of it for the rest of my life. As for that Prince Rui, he has an endless army of blood talismans. I'm not pitying them, but I'm worried about you. Even for my sake, how can you put yourself in danger time and time again? I beg you, for my sake, don't keep burning your lifespan and doing such fearless things."

She watched as Chu Yanqiu's eyes gradually warmed up, and as he slowly nodded, she finally felt relieved.

She rewarded him with a hug, holding him close and patting his back, as if comforting her lover, and also as if soothing her own frightened heart.

"It's a deal then, let's get married as soon as possible."

Chu Yanqiu looked down at her and emphasized it again.

Two lovers, nestled together in deep affection, embraced each other and forgot about each other.

Chu Yanqiu was already deeply immersed in the moment, his mind drifting aimlessly in mid-air. He murmured, "It's not bad to be together through life and death like this. In the end, we can't escape death. Having you by my side to die would make this life worthwhile."

Shen Wen's ears were very sensitive, but he was speaking almost entirely from his own mind, his words unclear and ambiguous, which made Shen Wen unable to resist looking up at him.

Chu Yanqiu forcefully pressed her head against his chest, and they nestled together tightly.

Behind them stood the majestic Imperial Study, guarded by numerous Imperial Guards, yet none of them moved, watching from afar with utmost vigilance.

Even with so many people around, no one noticed that the door at the back had already been secretly opened a crack, with a head peeking out and watching Chu Yanqiu and Shen Wen's backs as they leaned against each other from a distance.

Even though he was surrounded by so many loyal ministers and confidants, no one saw any sign of loneliness in him at this crucial moment, truly embodying the phrase "a lonely man".

This time he has truly come to his senses. The woman he loves already belongs to someone else. Even if he pretends to be pitiful and weak in front of her, he cannot change her mind and make her give up Chu Yanqiu to love him.

The young emperor silently withdrew and waved for the palace servants to close the door.

The young emperor went back to bed and fell asleep again. The young lady Shen, who was supposed to protect him, did not come back to see him. A group of palace maids and eunuchs carefully guarded the room and the house, not daring to wake or disturb His Majesty the emperor. They could only quietly watch from a distance to see if the young emperor woke up and called for help.

It wasn't until the dead of night that everyone realized something was wrong with His Majesty the Emperor, and they hurriedly summoned the best imperial physician to examine him.

The initial diagnosis was a cold, and a prescription was written to prepare the medicine. The emperor, who was in a coma, was carefully served the medicine.

The next morning, the imperial physician, who had been waiting outside with the palace servants, came in again to take the emperor's pulse. This time, his complexion was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong with the young emperor. He observed and waited until the afternoon, but the young emperor showed no signs of waking up. The imperial physician wiped the layers of sweat from his brow, unsure of what to do next.

From then on, the court assemblies of the Great Jue Kingdom ceased, until...

Since that day, Shen Wen has returned to the Duke of Ji's mansion with Chu Yanqiu. The two of them are preparing for their wedding a few days later, and Chu Yanqiu is especially busy and excited.

Shen Wenren may be sitting at home, but she's not completely oblivious to what's happening outside. Thanks to the Beetle-style small reconnaissance drones patrolling all over the capital, she's never bored and knows quite a lot.

Since Chu Yanqiu led the Xiliang soldiers to storm the palace, a large army of lurking cultivators took the opportunity to cleanse the palace. Too many people died in that incident, which made the capital desolate and fewer strange and bizarre events occurred. However, it did not completely stop. Shen Wen has been focusing her attention on this issue these days, closely investigating strange incidents of evil cultivators committing misdeeds every day. However, she does not need to personally carry out the cleanup. As soon as any movement is discovered, she immediately notifies the patrolling soldiers nearby. This is thanks to Chu Yanqiu's effective command. These patrolling soldiers are all trusted confidants that the Duke of Ji has cultivated in various military units over the years. In important matters, they will obey the Duke of Ji's command as long as there is an order.

She watched as Chu Yanqiu acted like a child in front of her all day long, bringing her whatever good things he got his hands on outside, as if he regarded their wedding as the most important event in his life, doing everything himself. Shen Wen, who was originally hesitant and irritable, was finally at ease.

However, after being here for several days and visiting the two elders a few times, something still felt off. It wasn't that he was worried they still wouldn't accept him, but rather that every time they saw him, they were so incredibly open and welcoming, it felt unreal. He wondered how Chu Yanqiu had managed to persuade them to have absolutely no objection to their marriage.

After dinner, Shen Wen asked the maid beside her what her second young master had been busy with. The maid told her that an imperial decree had come to summon His Majesty to the palace. This kind of thing often happened in the Duke of Ji's mansion, so Shen Wen didn't pay much attention to it. She sent the maids away and then took off her clothes to go to sleep.

Time quickly passed to midnight. The dark room was quiet, but a sudden nightmare and a sudden surge of emotions stirred up a calm lake.

Shen Wen suddenly sat up in bed.

It was that same dream again, one that seemed to be a warning to her.

"Is this a warning to this body from the original owner who fulfilled their tragic fate, at such a crucial moment?"

Shen Wen wiped the sweat from his brow and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"If that dream really did happen, then... it's better to believe it existed than not!"

Shen Wen's eyes flashed with a terrifying murderous intent because of someone who had committed countless evil deeds in his dream.
