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

Royal Palace

When the emperor received the memorial from Governor Zhou, he was stunned on the spot. He could not believe that his proud brother had died in the sea.

After a long while, the Emperor slowly clenched his fists, his eyes filled with grief and anger, and roared, "Chen Fu, pass on my decree that Zhou Zhiyong kill all the pirates to avenge Prince Mu and Princess Furong."

"Old slave obeys the order."

"I hereby declare that Prince Mu Shangguan Yunting, for his invaluable contributions in suppressing the pirates, shall be posthumously granted the title of Prince Qizhu. Princess Furong, for her invaluable contributions in suppressing the pirates, shall be granted the title of Prince Mu's principal wife."

"Old slave obeys the order."

The emperor said sadly: "Old Nine, if nothing had happened to you, you would have been married in two months. It's a pity that your brother won't be able to see you marrying and having children."

"Didn't we brothers agree that my brother would stay in the capital and you would guard the borders of our dynasty? Why did you just leave without a word? Do you know how heartbroken my brother and mother are?"

"You always wanted to marry Princess Furong as your princess. As your brother, I will fulfill your last wish. I hope they will finally be together in heaven."

"Chen Fu, pass down the order that this matter must be kept secret from the Queen Mother. She is old, how can she bear the blow of seeing her son die?"

"Old slave obeys the order."

Chen Fu looked at the emperor's gloomy face and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty?"

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, the body of King Mu is not here. Use the cenotaph to set up the mourning hall and tomb."

The emperor took the memorial from the table and threw it at him, roaring, "Chen Fu, are you old and your brain broken? Prince Mu and Princess Mu are just missing, nothing happened. Why set up a mourning hall and a tomb? You dare to curse Prince Mu? I will chop off your head."

Frightened, Chen Fu knelt down and said, "This old slave deserves death. Please calm down, Your Majesty."

"Get out...get out of here!"

The palace maids and eunuchs were so frightened that they all left the hall.

A solemn atmosphere enveloped the hall, and the emperor sat alone on the dragon throne, immersed in sorrow.

The emperor roared, "Old Nine, I am the Supreme Lord, the True Dragon Emperor. I will not allow you to die. You must come back alive."

"Old Nine, will you blame me if I don't set up a mourning hall and a tomb? As long as I don't set up a mourning hall and a tomb, I believe that you and your wife are not dead and will come back alive sooner or later."

The emperor recalled the past vividly, "Ninth Brother, you have been sensible since childhood, which makes me feel distressed. When you learned that the Queen Mother's life in the harem was difficult, you tried your best to please my father and the Empress Dowager, hoping that they would not embarrass her."

"When I ascended the throne, you asked for a fiefdom to put my mind at ease. Even if you didn't want it, I wouldn't doubt that you would become my enemy. You joined the army in your teens, and I've been very relieved to have you in Youzhou for so many years."

"If you and your wife can escape this disaster, I hope you will return soon. I will be waiting for you in the capital."

At this time, Rong Fei came over, and Chen Fu bowed and saluted, "This old servant pays homage to Her Majesty Rong Fei."

"Excuse me, eunuch. Where is the emperor?"

Chen Fu glanced at the main hall and said, "Empress Rong, the Emperor is in a bad mood."

"Because of what?"

"I don't know."

Rong Fei didn't force Chen Fu to say anything. Since he served the emperor personally, how could he not know what the emperor was worried about? He just didn't want to say it.

"Go in and announce it, and say that I am here to see you."

"Empress Rong, the Emperor is in a bad mood, so you'd better not go in. If he gets angry, you'll lose more than you gain."

"No matter how bad the Emperor's mood is, he will never refuse to see me."

Chen Fu paused for a moment, "Old slave, go in and report. Your Majesty, please wait a moment."

As Chen Fu entered the hall, the emperor roared, "Get out! If you dare to come in again, I will chop off your heads."

Chen Fu was so frightened that he hurried out. Rong Fei did not dare to act rashly after hearing the emperor's roar, and left in disgrace with her maid.

She returned empty-handed, feeling rather discontented, and said, "Mammy, send someone to find out why the Emperor is so angry. I've been in the palace for over six months and have never seen the Emperor so angry."

"Old slave obeys the order."

The nanny quickly returned with a report: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has received news from the Governor of Jiaozhou that Prince Mu and Princess Furong have perished in the South China Sea. He was furious and drove all the attendants out, leaving him alone in the hall."

Rong Fei was surprised and said: "This is true."

"The news has spread in the palace. The emperor has posthumously conferred the title of Prince Qizhu on Prince Mu, and has also conferred the title of Princess Furong on Princess Mu."

"The Emperor really cares about his brother. He didn't have time to get married when he was alive, so after his death he was given a ghost marriage, so he will have someone to accompany him in the underworld."

Concubine Rong showed another energetic smile, "It's a good thing they died. Shangguan Yunting and Shen Rou lost their second and third brothers, and our father has avenged his great hatred. Their spirits in heaven can rest in peace."

"Congratulations to the Queen on getting her revenge."

"Although it wasn't my fault, I'm still happy that my enemy is dead."

"Mammy, I want to drink to celebrate."

"Your Highness, you are taking fertility medicine and you have to serve the Emperor these days. You cannot drink alcohol, so as not to delay your important matters."

"It would be useless for me to go if the emperor is in a bad mood. It would be better to celebrate happily and get revenge."

"Your Majesty, when the Emperor is in a bad mood, he most wants someone to accompany him. This is your opportunity, you must seize it."

"Let's send someone to find out how the emperor feels before we do anything, so as not to make things worse."

"Old slave, I obey."

Concubine He sat in the palace, feeling extremely happy. She held the news from the assassin tightly in her hand, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

She laughed heartily. "God is really helping me! Prince Mu was buried in the sea. The third brother has no support and is a useless man. How can he compete with my son for the throne of Da Qi? The emperor doesn't like the second brother, and he is even more incompetent. What right do he have to compete with my son for the throne?"

"Mammy, send someone to quietly pass this good news to Jue'er."

"Old slave obeys the order."

The Empress Dowager has been in a bad mood these days. The imperial physician came to take her pulse, but she was fine, just very irritable.

Seeing that the Queen Mother looked unwell, the nanny hurriedly said with concern: "Queen Mother, you look unwell. I will call the imperial physician!"

The Queen Mother nodded slightly.

When the imperial physician heard that the empress dowager was unwell, he hurried over to take her pulse.

"Doctor Hu, how is my health?"

"Your Majesty, you are in good health. It has been raining for the past few days, which has caused you to be irritable. If you have time, go out for a walk and breathe some fresh air. It will help."

The Queen Mother listened to Doctor Hu's words and nodded slightly. "Yes, I also feel a little bored after staying in the bedroom for too long."

"Mammy, come on, take me out for a walk."

The nanny quickly glanced at the palace maid next to her. She gave the nanny a reassuring look, and the nanny helped the empress dowager walk out.

Walking in the garden, my mood gradually became relaxed.

Suddenly, two palace maids said, "His Royal Highness Prince Mu died young. The Queen Mother must be very sad if she knew."

The Queen Mother suddenly looked at the nanny beside her, "What did they mean? I didn't quite hear it."

"Empress Dowager, they said that under the leadership of the Emperor, our Great Qi is peaceful and prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment."

The Queen Mother said angrily: "Jinxiu, I am not deaf yet, is there something wrong with the ninth brother?"

"Queen Dowager, please don't let your imagination run wild. His Royal Highness Prince Mu is on a mission in Jiaozhou under the Emperor's orders. He will be back soon to get married. By then, your worries will be over."

"Jinxiu, I want to hear the truth."

"How dare this old servant lie to you?"

"Tell them to come out and answer."

The nanny had no choice but to order the palace maids to come out. When the two palace maids saw the empress dowager, they were so scared that they immediately knelt down and apologized.

"I'm asking if something has happened to your King Mu. If you don't tell the truth, I'll have you dragged down and beaten to death."

The palace maid was so frightened that she stammered, "Replying to... Queen Mother... His Royal Highness Prince Mu... He... He has been buried in the sea."

"What? King Mu was buried in the sea. Whoever spread the rumor, come and take him down and beat him to death."

"Please spare me, Queen Mother. This is absolutely true. How dare I lie to you, Queen Mother?"

The Queen Mother suddenly looked at the nanny beside her, "Jinxiu, is this true?"

The nanny nodded cautiously, "Queen Dowager, Prince Mu's disappearance has not been confirmed, so it cannot be taken seriously. Prince Mu may already be on his way back."

When the Queen Mother heard the bad news, she felt darkness before her eyes and fainted. Everyone panicked and hurriedly carried the Queen Mother back to her bedroom.

The nanny arranged for someone to call the imperial physician while notifying the emperor. Upon hearing that the empress dowager had fainted, the emperor hurried to her chambers. Seeing the unconscious empress dowager, the emperor felt both distressed and helpless.

The imperial physician quickly took the empress dowager's pulse.

The emperor asked anxiously, "Doctor Hu, how is the empress dowager's health?"

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is very anxious and has a heart attack. I have prescribed some medicine for her and she needs to be well taken care of."

Concubine He entered first and pretended to wipe away her tears, "Your Majesty, you are blessed by heaven, and everything will be fine."

Concubine Rong, Concubine Qi, Concubine Jing, and Concubine Yi came later and offered some words of comfort. The emperor was upset and ordered them to leave.

Princess Mansion

Bei Ze came to Shangguan Rui's side in a panic, glanced at Shen Xue, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Shangguan Rui frowned slightly, "Beize, what happened?"

Bei Ze paused for a moment and said intermittently: "Master..."

"But it doesn't matter."

He answered cautiously: "Something happened to the prince and the princess..."

Shen Xue stood up suddenly, looked at Bei Ze in panic, and asked anxiously: "Bei Ze, what happened to my eldest sister and brother-in-law? Tell me quickly! I'm so worried."

"The Emperor received a memorial from the Governor of Jiaozhou, stating that the Prince and Princess perished at sea."

Shen Xue quickly retorted: "Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could something happen to my elder sister and brother-in-law? I don't believe it. Where are Han Lin and the others? I want to ask him in person."

"They are on their way back and will arrive in the capital in a few days."

Shen Xue's legs went limp and she fell to the ground, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Sister, they'll be fine. They're getting married in two months. How could something go wrong? They must be lying."

Shangguan Rui moved the wheelchair to help Shen Xue up, and whispered to her comfortingly, "Xiaoxue, you get up first."

Shen Xue looked at Shangguan Rui expectantly with tearful eyes. "Brother Rui, you also think that my elder sister and brother-in-law are fine, right? It's just rumors spread by others. In a few days, they will return to Beijing with Han Lin to discuss the marriage. Is that right?"

Among his relatives, apart from his father, Uncle Jiu is the one who treats him best. He cannot accept such a tragedy, but he is a man and will not cry like Shen Xue.

He knew that the news coming out of the palace was a foregone conclusion, otherwise no one would dare to spread such rumors.

"Xiaoxue..."

"Brother Rui, it can't be true, right?"

"Can we ask Han Lin in person when he comes back?"

"When Han Lin comes back, I don't want to wait even a moment."

"It'll take another four or five days."

"Whether this is true or not, Brother Rui will be with you, okay?"

Shen Xue leaned on Shangguan Rui's shoulder and cried inconsolably.

Four days later, Leng Ce and Han Lin finally arrived in the capital.

Shen Xue and Shangguan Rui arrived at the city gate early and waited. When they saw a group of people riding horses, they ran over anxiously, scaring the guards so much that they all pulled the reins of the horses.

He was furious, but when he saw Shen Xue, he felt sad and indescribable.

Shen Xue couldn't wait to ask: "Han Lin, where are my elder sister and brother-in-law?"

Han Lin's face was filled with fatigue and sorrow. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Miss Shen, the prince and princess are no longer with us."

Ever since she learned about Shen Rou and Shangguan Yunting's accident, she couldn't sleep or eat. Now, upon hearing this tragic news, her eyes went dark and she fainted.

Su Yu and Su Luo quickly held Shen Xue and said to Shangguan Rui, "Third Prince, let's send the county lady back to the mansion first."

"Hurry back and ask Divine Doctor Ye to diagnose your pulse. This prince will be here soon."

"Yes."

Su Yu and the others took Shen Xue back home on horseback.

Shangguan Rui had difficulty walking and could only take a carriage. When he returned to the Princess's Mansion, Ye Gucheng had already shown it to Shen Xue.

"Doctor Ye, how is Xiaoxue?"

"The girl is fine, but she will definitely be sad when she wakes up. The princess is the pillar of their family. Even an outsider like me can't accept the news of the prince and princess' passing, let alone them."

"I don't believe it either, but after hearing Han Lin's confirmation, it's not false."

"They are so young, and their wedding date is approaching, but they have suffered such a misfortune. How can we not be heartbroken?"

Doctor Ye recalled every detail of his acquaintance with them, and his heart was filled with emotion. It seemed that after all the hardships, fate had played a cruel joke on them.

Shangguan Rui felt both distressed and sad when he saw Shen Xue’s pale face.
