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

The sedan bearer was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, trembling with fear, and did not dare to look up at the crowd.

The guards around were also silent, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Chen Fu hurried to the place where the sedan bearer fell to check what happened. Suddenly he saw some beads left on the steps. He picked up three of them in a row and walked to the emperor.

The emperor's face was gloomy. He looked at the kneeling sedan bearer with deep eyes, and then looked at Doctor Chen who was taking Concubine Hui's pulse.

"Doctor Chen, how is the prince in Concubine Hui's belly?"

"Your Majesty, the prince in your majesty's belly is safe and sound, but your majesty is very frightened."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, thinking that this prince was blessed with good fortune and luck, and would become a great man in the future.

Concubine He looked viciously at Concubine Hui in the emperor's arms. She was still in shock, stroking her abdomen with one hand and tightly grasping the emperor's wrist with the other trembling hand.

The emperor knew that Concubine Hui was frightened. If Shen Xue had not reacted quickly this time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Chen Fu handed the pearls he had found to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I found these pearls where the sedan chair bearers fell. This must have been caused by someone."

The Emperor clenched the beads tightly and swept his gaze over everyone present. His eyes were as cold as ice. "I will get to the bottom of today's incident. I will not show mercy to anyone who dares to murder the heir to the throne."

All the concubines lowered their heads, fearing that they would be affected by the cold.

"Where is Xiao Qi?"

Xiao Qi, the commander of the Imperial Guards, quickly knelt and said, "Your humble servant Xiao Qi pays respect to the Emperor."

"Investigate, and get to the bottom of it."

"I humble my duty and obey the decree."

Concubine Rong smiled and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. The prince in my sister's belly is blessed with great fortune and will surely be extraordinary in the future."

The emperor's expression brightened slightly after hearing this. "My son will surely be a rare talent."

"Your Majesty, since my sister is fine, why not let the sedan bearer go? Someone is deliberately trying to kill the heir to the throne and we must find the perpetrator."

The emperor's deep and stern voice came, "They almost killed my prince. I have done them the greatest favor by not executing their entire clan. How can I let them go?"

"Come here, take him away and interrogate him strictly."

The sedan bearer shouted: "Your Majesty, please spare my life... I am innocent..."

Several Royal Guards quickly dragged them away.

Concubine He was startled, but she pretended to be calm, "Your Majesty, I think the most urgent thing is to send my sister back to the palace and take good care of her. It won't be too late to conduct a thorough investigation later."

The emperor nodded slightly and walked forward with big strides holding Concubine Hui.

Only then did Concubine Hui come to her senses. She didn't dare trust any of the imperial physicians. Seeing Shen Xue still standing there, she said weakly, "Your Majesty, Shen Xue risked her life to save me and my son. This is truly a life-saving grace. I want to thank her sincerely."

"My beloved concubine, your words make sense. I shall reward you."

The royal family looked at Shen Xue and said loudly: "Shen Xue has made great contributions in saving Concubine Hui and the prince. She is specially appointed as the Princess of Ya'an County and is awarded 100 taels of gold, 1,000 taels of silver, 10 pieces of jewelry, and 10 pieces of brocade as a reward."

Concubine Hui whispered, "Xiaoxue, thank the emperor quickly."

Before Shen Xue recovered from her shock, she heard Concubine Hui remind her. She quickly knelt down to express her gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Everyone present envied Shen Xue for coming to the banquet. She accidentally saved Concubine Hui and was personally named the Princess of Ya'an County by the Emperor, which made people jealous.

The emperor strode forward holding Concubine Hui in his arms. Concubine Hui said quickly, "Xiaoxue, follow me back to the palace."

Shen Xue glanced at Shangguan Rui and followed the emperor's footsteps.

Seeing the Emperor about to leave, Concubine He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Miss Shen hasn't been examined yet, so how can she accompany my sister back to the palace? She can't be rewarded either. If it's her doing, wouldn't it harm my sister and the unborn prince?"

After hearing what Concubine He said, the emperor stopped immediately.

Shen Xue quickly explained, "Your Majesty, I would never dare to harm Concubine Hui and the unborn prince. Moreover, Concubine Hui is the niece of my master. There is no reason for me to harm the Empress."

"Shen Xue, it seems you knew Concubine Hui would be unwell, so you prepared the silver needles in advance to save her. You wanted to deceive everyone, but unfortunately your plan was too clumsy and I saw through it. Don't try to deny it."

Shen Xue's eyes were clear, and she said firmly, "My servant, I have always kept my silver needles with me since I started studying medicine. I have never intended to harm anyone. Concubine He does not judge others by their own standards, nor does she judge others by her own standards."

"The Emperor has just appointed you as a county lady, and you are so bold as to rebuke me. How presumptuous!"

"Your Majesty, Shen Xue has committed insubordination and does not understand etiquette and rules. She is simply uncouth and unworthy of the title of Ya'an County Master."

Shangguan Rui moved his wheelchair to Shen Xue's side. "Father, I can guarantee that Shen Xue will not harm Concubine Hui. She is kind-hearted and devoted to studying medicine. She has no interest in anything else, and she would never want to harm anyone."

"She originally didn't want to attend the palace banquet alone, and since Concubine Hui is Divine Doctor Ye's niece, it would be inappropriate for her not to attend. So Divine Doctor Ye asked me to take care of Shen Xue."

Concubine Hui also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I also believe that Shen Xue would not harm me and my unborn child. If this was her plan, how could she sacrifice herself to save me and my child in such a critical moment?"

"She and I have no conflict of interest. How could she risk harming me and my child for no reason? This is simply nonsense."

The scene fell silent for a moment. The Emperor's stern and sharp gaze swept across the crowd, finally stopping at Shen Xue. "Princess Ya'an, I also believe that you would not do anything to harm the Imperial Concubine, but to prove your innocence, you must stay and cooperate with the investigation."

"My daughter obeys the order."

"Rui'er, you will accompany the Princess of Ya'an to the investigation. When the dust settles, come to my bedroom to report."

"My son, I obey."

The emperor strode away holding Concubine Hui in his arms. Before leaving, Concubine Hui gave Shen Xue a reassuring look.
