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

The emperor sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy face, and his deep eyes swept sharply over the kneeling guards.

Leng Ce and his guards knelt on the ground, their eyes lowered, not daring to look directly at the emperor. "This subordinate deserves death. I failed to protect Prince Mu. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

The emperor's deep and majestic voice came: "You indeed deserve to die. You betrayed my trust in you and caused King Mu to die at sea. How can you have the face to return to see me?"

Leng Ce and Han Lin were fully aware of their dereliction of duty and were filled with guilt and fear.

"I deserve to die. Your Majesty, please punish me."

Inside the hall, the atmosphere was so solemn that it was suffocating.

The Emperor's stern and cold voice came, "All of you go to the Ministry of Punishment to receive fifty strokes of the cane! Han Lin, from now on, you will go to the Princess's Mansion to protect the Princess of Ya'an. If you make any more mistakes, you will be beheaded!"

"I obey the order!"

Everyone kowtowed in thanks and slowly left the hall.

The hall fell silent again, and a sad expression appeared on the emperor's stern face.

Rong Fei's Palace

Concubine Rong lay on her side on the couch, staring angrily into the distance. The nanny quickly comforted her, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. If it doesn't work this month, there's always next month. Many women who have been in the palace for several years may not be able to conceive an heir to the emperor."

"Mammy, ever since the Emperor learned of Prince Mu's accident, he has not been seeing any of the concubines in the harem. It's even difficult for him to see her, let alone get pregnant."

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is in a bad mood. He even avoided seeing the pregnant Concubine Hui when she asked to see him. Why do you care about this?"

"Besides, you are still young. There are plenty of opportunities to conceive a prince. There is no need to rush now. Madam has told you that if you sleep with the emperor, the chances of conceiving a prince are very high. Then you will get what you wish for."

"Mammy, you are absolutely right."

Princess Mansion

The next day, Shen Xue woke up and cried heart-wrenchingly when she thought about her elder sister's accident. Qiuyu and Dongyue, who were guarding the door, heard the sound and hurried in.

"County Master, you're awake."

Qiuyu hurried forward and patted Shen Xue on the back, saying softly, "County Lady, the Princess is blessed by heaven, and she may return safely soon."

Shen Xue's eyes were red as she shook her head. "Han Lin has already said that my elder sister and brother-in-law have left. How can they come back?"

"My eldest sister and brother-in-law are kind-hearted and care about the people. Why doesn't God bless them? When the day of their wedding came, something happened to them. Why don't good people get good rewards?"

She cried as she spoke, and her tearful look was truly heartbreaking.

"County Lady, the dead cannot be resurrected, please be more open-minded! The Princess loves you so much, she certainly doesn't want to see you so sad, and her spirit in heaven will also be at peace."

"Third Prince, worried that you would be sad if you woke up in the middle of the night, he stayed by your side all night. He only went back to his room to rest after I came here. He also told me to go and call him when you woke up."

"You guys go out, I want to be alone."

They left the room, still a little worried about Shen Xue. "Qiuyu, go report to the Third Prince. I'll go make some light meals."

"it is good."

Qiuyu came to the door of Shangguan Rui's room. Bei Ze was guarding the door. "Bei Ze, has the Third Prince rested?"

"The master just lay down, what's the matter?"

"The county lady is awake. She's very sad and won't let us stay in the room with her. We're worried about her, so we came here to call the Third Prince."

Shangguan Rui had just laid down when he heard their conversation and quickly got up and opened the door in his wheelchair.

"Qiuyu, Xiaoxue is awake."

"In reply to the Third Prince, the county lady just woke up and was crying bitterly."

"Push me over."

Bei Ze hurriedly pushed Shangguan Rui into Shen Xue's room. Shen Xue was still immersed in her own sadness and unable to extricate herself.

Shangguan Rui felt very distressed when he saw Shen Xue crying so hard. He comforted her softly, "Xiaoxue, I know you are sad, but the dead cannot be resurrected. I am also very sad that Uncle Jiu and the princess are gone, but our lives must go on."

"Brother Rui, my eldest sister once said she would watch Xiaonan and I grow up. She passed away so suddenly. I feel like the sky has fallen. Everything is dark before my eyes and I can't see the road ahead."

Shangguan Rui held her hand and said firmly, "You still have me, your grandma and grandpa, and Xiaonan. From now on, I will protect you and the Shen family on behalf of the princess and will never let you suffer any harm."

Shen Xue looked at Shangguan Rui with tears in her eyes and choked up, "Brother Rui, I want to go back to Yunzhou to see Grandma and Xiaonan. Grandma and Grandpa are old, and the greatest sorrow in the world is to see the elderly send off their loved ones. And this matter cannot be concealed even if I want to."

"Whenever you want to go back, I'll go back with you."

"As a prince, how can you leave the capital so easily? I will go back by myself."

"I am now a useless person in everyone's eyes. No one cares about me. My father is also immersed in the sorrow of Uncle Jiu's death and has no time to care about me."

"You should be by the emperor's side right now, helping him through this sad time."

"The Emperor has canonized my eldest sister as the Princess of Mu, and has assigned Han Lin and the others to me as guards. This is the greatest gift to our Shen family, and we should be grateful. So you must stay in the capital and often go to the palace to accompany the Emperor and the Queen Mother."

"Xiaoxue, do you really not need me to go back with you?"

"The Emperor and the Empress Dowager need you to be at their knees and show filial respect. I'll go back and spend time with Grandma and Grandpa. They've just gotten over the grief of losing their daughter, and now they have to endure the pain of losing their granddaughter. I'm afraid they can't bear this blow."

"After the New Year, I will accompany my younger brother to finish the college entrance examination, and then bring my grandparents and younger brother to the capital. Since my eldest sister is not here, I will be the head of the family and must take care of everyone in the family like my eldest sister does."

Shangguan Rui reached out and touched Shen Xue's head. He suddenly felt that the girl in front of him had grown up overnight. It was both distressing and sad to see her growing up like this.

Shangguan Rui held Shen Xue tightly in his arms and said softly: "You are still so young and I don't want you to be so tired. You can rely on me. I will take care of everyone in the Shen family and I will take good care of you."

"Brother Rui, I have to work hard to learn to grow up and become stronger. I can't throw all the burdens of my family onto you. That would be very tiring and difficult for you. We should walk side by side, not you carrying the burden alone. That would be too unfair to my big sister's expectations and the foundation she has laid."

"Before leaving, my eldest sister had paved a broad road for me. I don't want the road to become narrower and narrower. I'll have the surgery when I bring my grandma and grandpa to the capital."

"Okay, I hope you'll still be the smiling girl when you come back."

Shen Xue nodded gently and said, "Please help me take care of the business of Yipin Pavilion. This is my eldest sister's business. I don't want the business to fail as soon as she leaves."

"As for the Suburban Medical College, you must also supervise the project. I will leave the money behind when I leave."

"I have money, I don't need you to keep any."

"The money was given to me by my eldest sister before she left. It was as if she knew something would happen to me, so she explained everything."

"The princess also told me some things before she left, and I am slowly implementing them. I hope to live up to the princess's expectations and instructions."

"We work together."

"Brother Rui, after your leg injury heals, I want to go to the South China Sea and burn some paper money for my elder sister and brother-in-law to comfort their souls in heaven."

"Okay, I'll go with you."

"Sister, now that I am Princess Mu, can I build a tomb and worship in my hometown?"

"No. As the daughter-in-law of the royal family, she should be buried in the royal mausoleum. However, my father has ordered that there should be no mourning hall or mausoleum."

Shen Xue was shocked and said, "Why? It's too tragic that people don't even have a grave after they die. Even poor people have a place to be buried after they die, so why don't the prince and princess have a mausoleum? How can future generations worship them?"

"Father said that this means Uncle Nine and Aunt Nine are not dead, and they still have the thought of coming back."

Shen Xue's tears flowed down her face. She couldn't find a place to pay tribute to her elder sister in the future.

"Xiaoxue, don't cry. Father also wants them to have hope of returning. We may worship them in the mansion every year on their memorial day."

"May I?"

"can."

Shangguan Rui was gone. Shen Xue thought of Shen Rou and covered herself with the quilt, bursting into tears. "Sister, did you have a premonition that something bad would happen to you, so you arranged your funeral in advance? I'm so stupid that I didn't notice anything was wrong. If I had, I would never have let you go to the South China Sea with your brother-in-law."

"Sister, I'm not as good as you, but I will try my best to do my best. I hope you are happy in heaven."

Shen Xue cried for a long time, then gradually stopped crying. She knew that many things at home were waiting for her to deal with, and she couldn't continue to be immersed in grief.

Shen Xueqiang pulled herself together and began sorting through the various tasks her elder sister had left behind. She carefully checked Yipin Pavilion's accounts and considered how to improve its business strategy to cope with potential difficulties. She also made detailed plans for the next steps in building the suburban medical school.

In the palace, although the emperor was in grief over the loss of his brother, he could not neglect the affairs of state.

The atmosphere in the hall was tense. The ministers lowered their eyes and even breathed cautiously, fearing that they would anger the emperor and be punished.
