Shocking! The killer traveled through time and space and became a female Shura, killing like crazy

Royal Palace

The emperor received one battle report after another from Shangguan Yunting. In the first one, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling when he saw that he had captured the Northern Yan general Chu Huaixiong and more than 4,000 soldiers.

He excitedly announced the good news in the court. The ministers knelt down to congratulate him, praising King Mu's bravery and wisdom, saying it was a blessing for the country and the emperor.

He also ordered someone to deliver a letter to the Emperor of Northern Yan, asking him to show his sincerity to Da Qi in exchange for General Chu and more than 4,000 soldiers, otherwise they would all be sent to Mobei to farm.

Not many days later, the emperor received news that Beiyan was defeated and the second prince of Beiyan was seriously injured. However, this time he also received news that Shangguan Yunting was seriously injured, which made him worried, and he quickly sent a message to confirm his injury.

Upon learning that it was Shen Rou who led three thousand special forces to break through the siege to rescue Shangguan Yunting and injured the second prince of Beiyan when Shangguan Yunting was in danger, the emperor had a new understanding of Shen Rou.

I didn't expect that such a thin and petite girl would have such amazing skills. She should not be underestimated.

He murmured to himself, "Old Nine, it seems you have a good eye. Princess Furong is incredibly courageous. She actually led three thousand cavalrymen to the battlefield to rescue people and even injured the Second Prince of Beiyan. This is a great achievement. I will reward you handsomely when we return to the capital."

"I hope the Queen Mother will agree to your relationship because she saved your life."

Today we received news from the Youzhou military camp that Shangguan Yunting is now fine after treatment and will recover after just resting for a period of time.

The emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw the news below, his face instantly turned cold as ice.

"Cold Eagle..."

"My subordinate is here."

"Where are Qu Yi and Ma Ming?"

"In reply to the Emperor, the Shadow Guard encountered three assassination attempts on their way back from delivering the news, delaying them for two days. Fortunately, they are safe and sound and will arrive in the capital the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"It seems the person behind this doesn't want them to return to the capital alive."

"After returning to the capital, you will personally interrogate him. Then send people to Bingzhou to investigate why the Second Prince of Beiyan is there. Why would a prince of Beiyan risk his life to come to our important place of Daqi?"

"I obey my orders."

The emperor sat there, gazing fiercely into the distance, muttering to himself, "Whoever dares to betray me and collude with the Second Prince of Beiyan, I will chop him up and feed him to the dogs!"

His voice was deep and powerful, as if it came from hell. His words revealed anger and murderous intent, making people dare not disobey him in the slightest.

New Year's Eve soon arrived, and the concubines in each palace dressed up beautifully, hoping to make the emperor's eyes bright.

The palace was brightly lit and colorful silks fluttered.

The emperor sat in the main seat, the empress dowager and the queen sat on both sides of the emperor, and the concubines from each palace sat according to their rank.

Civil and military officials sat in order according to their official ranks. They were dressed in gorgeous court robes, their faces filled with joy.

However, although Prime Minister Huo had a smile on his face, his heart was bleeding.

None of the things he had been planning for a long time had been accomplished. Now Qu Yi and Ma Ming were being escorted back to Beijing for investigation, and he tried every means to intercept them halfway.

Unfortunately, the person escorting them was the emperor's shadow guard, and he failed after three attempts, which made him feel mixed emotions.

Ma Ming was his assassin, so it was difficult to get the truth from him. He was afraid of Qu Yi. Fortunately, he had already planned to hide Qu Yi's entire family and threaten him with their lives, hoping that he could keep the secret, otherwise there would be no Huo family in the capital anymore.

The palace is beautifully decorated and filled with a festive atmosphere.

Palace maids shuttled around, serving delicious food and fine wine to everyone. Everyone savored the food while enjoying the wonderful performances, and laughter echoed throughout the palace.

Then, the ladies in the palace and the civil and military officials stood up and toasted the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to express their respect and blessings.

As night fell, the New Year's Eve celebrations drew to a close, and everyone left the palace with joy.

After three rounds of drinks, the emperor returned to his bedroom. Leng Ying had been waiting for a long time. When he saw the emperor coming back, he knelt down and saluted.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"Get up and talk."

"Your Majesty, Qu Yi and Ma Ming have been taken back to the capital. I have just interrogated them and learned that this matter is related to Prime Minister Huo."

When the Emperor heard that it was related to Prime Minister Huo, his expression instantly darkened. "Is the evidence conclusive?"

"Your Majesty, Ma Ming said he was acting on Qu Yi's orders, but Qu Yi said Prime Minister Huo hid all his family members and threatened him to take action against Prince Mu and the Third Prince."

The emperor was so angry that he slammed the table and said, "Prime Minister Huo, you are so bold that you dared to attack Lao Jiu and Rui Er. Since you want to die, I will grant your wish."

"How is the investigation in Bingzhou going?"

"The people I sent out haven't reported back yet."

The emperor was silent for a moment. "You can interrogate me again. I want solid evidence. Send someone to closely monitor every move of Prime Minister Huo and his family. Report any movement immediately."

"I obey your orders."

The Emperor leaned back on the throne, thinking to himself: Prime Minister Huo holds immense power and deep connections within the government. Conclusive evidence is necessary to prove his claim, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public. Another factor is that even the Queen Mother might not be able to pass muster; after all, this is a heinous crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of the family.
