Shocking! The killer traveled through time and space and became a female Shura, killing like crazy
Chapter 161 Protecting Weaknesses
The empress dowager looked at Shen Rou with a gloomy face. This girl is fearless. If she marries Lao Jiu in the future, she will only be a disaster. She must eliminate this future trouble.
"Come here, Princess Furong, you have spoken against me. Drag her out and give her twenty strokes of the cane."
At this time, four royal guards came over.
Shen Rou looked at the Queen Mother and said fiercely, "Queen Mother, if soft tactics don't work, I'll use force. This princess will kill the enemy without mercy. Countless enemy soldiers have died at my hands, so I'm not afraid of a few more deaths."
The Queen Mother sat on the high seat, looking at Shen Rou with a gloomy face, "A young girl is so cowardly and speaks wildly, take her down."
Concubine Hui quickly knelt down and pleaded, "Empress Dowager, please reconsider. Princess Furong was personally conferred the title of Princess by the Emperor, and it was the Emperor who personally granted her marriage. If something were to happen in Ningshou Palace, the Emperor and Prince Mu would surely have a rift with the Empress Dowager. Please, Empress Dowager, spare Princess Furong for Prince Mu's sake!"
"Concubine Hui, you are so bold that you actually plead for someone who disobeyed me. Go kneel at the door and do not get up without my order."
"I obey your command. Please reconsider, Queen Mother, and don't let the relationship between Prince Mu and you become strained."
"Why do you need to teach me how to do things? Go out and kneel down."
Concubine Hui glanced at Shen Rou and said, "Princess Furong, just wish you good luck! I can't help you."
Shen Rou looked at Concubine Hui, whom she had never met before, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Concubine Hui, for saving me. I am already very grateful that you spoke up for me. I feel bad that you were punished."
"I didn't help you at all."
The Imperial Guard walked up to Shen Rou with an expressionless face. The Queen Mother said coldly: "It's not too late to beg for mercy now, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."
Shen Rou gnashed her teeth and said, "When you ordered me to enter the palace today, you didn't intend for me to leave Ningshou Palace safely, right?"
"You're relying on your status as the Queen Mother to embarrass me. Aren't you afraid of the Prince's anger?"
"Laojiu is my son. What can he do to me?"
"So you're so confident, right? Let the horses come, and who will win is still unknown."
"Princess Furong has defied my authority and is being held captive."
The royal guards rushed over with long swords in hand. Su Mo and the others had not brought any weapons with them when they entered the palace. Shen Rou had a gun and a dagger in her space, but she definitely couldn't take them out in front of so many people.
Just as everyone was about to start, they heard the eunuch shout: "The Emperor has arrived! Prince Mu has arrived!"
The Queen Mother and all the palace maids were startled and instantly became panicked.
The Emperor and Shangguan Yunting walked into Ningshou Palace and saw the scene before them. They shouted sternly, "Stop! Everyone, retreat! How many heads do you have who dare to lay a hand on the future Princess Mu?"
The imperial guards quickly stepped aside and knelt, "I acknowledge my crime and ask for your punishment, Your Majesty."
The emperor walked towards the main hall with a gloomy face and firm steps. Seeing Concubine Hui kneeling at the entrance of the main hall, he said, "My beloved concubine, what crime have you committed? Stand up."
"I have offended the Queen Mother and I deserve to be punished."
The emperor helped Concubine Hui up and took her to the main hall.
Shangguan Yunting quickly ran to Shen Rou and asked with concern: "Xiao Rou, how are you?"
"Luckily you came, otherwise I wouldn't be able to leave this palace today."
"The Queen Mother is getting more and more extreme. After years of being a daughter-in-law, she finally becomes a mother-in-law and starts to torture her daughter-in-law. I really can't understand what she is thinking. She used to be a gentle and kind person, but now she has become unreasonable and unreasonable."
"How did you come."
"I ordered Xu Yang to guard the gate of Ningshou Palace. If there's any movement inside, come find me. Luckily you arrived in time, otherwise you would have been injured."
Shangguan Yunting pulled Shen Rou and followed the emperor's footsteps to the main hall. He apologized softly: "I'm sorry, it's my fault for putting you in danger."
"How can I blame you for this? It's your mother who wants to intimidate me, your daughter-in-law who hasn't even married yet."
"It's all my fault. I didn't handle this matter well. I must make it clear today to avoid this situation from happening again in the future."
Shen Rou felt warm in her heart. Even though the other person was his own mother, he stood by her without hesitation to protect her, which touched her very much.
In this era of benevolence, righteousness, and filial piety, sons are obedient to their parents and there are very few men like Shangguan Yunting who protect their wives.
The emperor walked into the main hall holding Concubine Hui's hand, and his sharp eyes swept over the concubines kneeling on the ground.
"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."
"I see that you are all too idle. All of you go back and reflect on your mistakes. Do not step out of the palace without my order."
"The minister and concubine follow the order."
The concubines were so frightened that they quickly left the Empress Dowager's main hall.
The emperor ordered Eunuch Chen behind him: "Chen Fu, send someone to take Concubine Hui back to the palace to rest."
"Old slave obeys the order."
Concubine Hui bowed to the emperor and obediently left the main hall. When she reached the door, she ran into Shangguan Yunting and Shen Rou. Shen Rou said gratefully, "Thank you, Concubine Hui, for pleading for me."
"Princess Furong, I can't help you much either. You don't have to be polite. Come to my palace when you have time. I really like your personality."
"I will go to your palace to pay my respects tomorrow."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
Shangguan Yunting clasped his hands together and said, "I am grateful to the Emperor's sister-in-law for saving me. I will always remember this."
"Prince Mu, you are too polite. Princess Furong and I are relatives. I am very happy to help her."
Shen Rou looked at Concubine Hui in surprise and then at Shangguan Yunting in confusion. This was the first time she met her and her family did not have such a noble relative.
Shangguan Yunting saw her puzzled expression and said, "I'll tell you later."
The Emperor walked up to the Empress Dowager, looked at her seated in the main seat with a gloomy face, and said coldly: "Mother, do you have to make such a fuss to be happy?"
"Can't I teach a lesson to a girl who committed insubordination? You brothers rushed over to defend her, are you afraid that I will eat her?"
"How could I have given birth to two unfilial sons like you, making me sad and heartbroken."
"Mother, Lao Jiu's marriage is already set in stone. If you continue to make such a fuss, you will lose Lao Jiu as your son. I am also very disappointed in you."
"Your Majesty, I am your biological mother. How could you say such words to hurt her? What hope does she have if she lives? It would be better for her to go down and see your father."
"Mother, if you hadn't been targeting Princess Furong, Old Nine and I wouldn't have said such cruel words."
"Old Nine, as his mother, you should be happy for him that he has found a girl he likes, instead of targeting your future daughter-in-law and putting him in a difficult position. You don't know how difficult his life has been over the years, but I do. He has been through the gates of hell many times."
"This time, when his life was hanging by a thread in the Youzhou military camp, it was Princess Furong who risked her own life to rescue him from the enemy. Otherwise, you would have seen Lao Jiu's cold corpse."
"Princess Furong saved my life, saved Old Nine's life, and even developed heavy weapons for our army. She is kind-hearted, sensible, and treats Old Nine well. You won't find such a good daughter-in-law even if you search with a lantern. I don't understand why you are dissatisfied."
"Is it just because of her status? I think her status is worthy of the Ninth Prince. Don't always focus on family background. What's the use of a girl with a good family background? Besides being jealous and dressing up, she's useless. She can't be compared to Princess Furong."
After listening to the emperor's words, Shen Rou felt that the emperor was a wise ruler who would stand for justice rather than relatives, and that he was a reliable person.
The empress dowager was stunned when she heard what the emperor said.
Shangguan Yunting took Shen Rou's hand and walked to the Queen Mother, saying firmly, "Mother, if you continue to target Xiao Rou, I will take her to the Youzhou military camp after the marriage group leaves and never return to the capital. This is the best time for me to talk to you about this. If you still insist on doing so, you will lose me as your son forever."
"If you send someone to attack Xiaorou again, and if anything happens to her, I can't do anything to you. After all, you are my biological mother. But I will kill everyone in the Huo family to avenge Xiaorou, and then go with her. You will lose me, your son, and the Huo family forever."
"There's no point in saying more now. Think carefully about what you've done!"
Shangguan Yunting said to the emperor: "Brother, I have taken Xiaorou out of the palace."
"Go! Princess Furong will come to the palace to attend the celebration banquet tomorrow night."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will be there on time for the banquet."
