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

Time passed little by little, and the emperor sat on the majestic dragon throne, lowering his head to review memorials.

Eunuch Chen stood aside, serving carefully, and from time to time glanced at Shangguan Rui who was kneeling outside the hall.

Eunuch Chen said cautiously, "Your Majesty, it's snowing outside and the weather is extremely cold. I just noticed that the Third Prince looked unwell."

The emperor put down his red brush, glanced at the door, then turned his gaze to Eunuch Chen and said sternly: "Chen Fu, if you dare to say another word, you will also kneel outside."

"I don't dare, old slave."

The emperor continued to review memorials.

Shangguan Rui knelt for a long time, feeling cold and in pain, and his body began to shake, as if he would fall down at any time.

His face was pale and his lips were chapped, but his eyes revealed determination and indomitable spirit.

After another hour, his body could no longer hold on and he fell down. This movement finally attracted the emperor's attention.

The emperor's face was gloomy, and he ordered: "Chen Fu, call the imperial physician."

"Old slave obeys the order."

Chen Fu quickly walked to the door and ordered the eunuch to carry Shangguan Rui into the hall.

Although the emperor's face was gloomy, he walked hurriedly to Shangguan Rui. Seeing that his face was as pale as paper, his brows slightly furrowed and he snorted coldly: "You dare to challenge me with such little ability."

Having said that, he still ordered the eunuch to carry him to the bed in the side hall and lie him down. The eunuch quickly covered him with a brocade quilt.

The emperor slowly walked to the bedside and looked at the face that was about 60% similar to his own, with the figure of Concubine Ruan at the corners of his mouth and between his eyebrows.

Thinking of Concubine Ruan, he felt full of guilt towards Shangguan Rui. He had never been loved by his mother since childhood. Although Shangguan Rui had never complained to him, the guards often reported his living situation to him, which made him feel sorry for him.

I am often not at home. If I take extra care of him, he will only become a target of public criticism. It is uncertain whether he can grow up safely.

Before the emperor ascended the throne, he had always sent secret guards to protect him. As long as his life was not in danger, the guards would never help him. This was also a kind of training and protection for him.

Because he knew that women were too jealous and he simply didn't have the extra time to take care of him in the mansion, so ignoring him was the best way to protect him.

The emperor also knew that Shen Xue was a good girl, but it would be okay for her to marry into an ordinary family.

As a prince, marrying a powerless wife would not help him at all, but would become a burden and a weakness. Others would use Shen Xue as a scapegoat, and would also use him to threaten Shangguan Rui. Then, he would have a harder time and be restricted in every way. This was not the outcome he wanted.

But this child is stubborn about what he has decided on. What if he continues to resist marrying someone else as his concubine? What should I do?

At this time, the imperial physician hurried over to take Shangguan Rui's pulse, and ordered the eunuch to take off Shangguan Rui's outer robe. When the outer robe was taken off, the injuries on his body made everyone gasp. His upper body was covered with scars, the old wounds were scabby and the new wounds were red and swollen, which showed how many times he had been injured in the past few years.

The emperor felt heartbroken when he saw Shangguan Rui covered in wounds. Although his experiences had helped him grow, this kind of growth also came at a price.

Which father would not feel distressed when seeing his son suffer? However, as a descendant of the royal family, someone must shoulder this burden, otherwise the future of Da Qi will be worrying.

The imperial physician frowned and hurriedly took out ointment and fine cloth from the medicine box to treat Shangguan Rui's wound again.

After some treatment, the imperial physician finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Your Majesty, the Third Prince is seriously injured and has a high fever. Once the fever subsides, he just needs to rest well."

After hearing this, the emperor finally felt relieved and ordered the imperial physician to take good care of the patient.

Shangguan Rui drank the medicine and fell into a deep sleep, exhausted from traveling for many days.

Harem

When Concubine He learned that Shangguan Rui had returned safely, she was furious and said, "Concubine Rong, you are so useless. You promised to get rid of the third brother, but you let him return safely. His return has brought danger to my son."

"The Emperor will personally appoint him as the Admiral of the entire navy. If Shangguan Rui dies on the way, most of these 30,000 navy troops will be in Jue'er's pocket. With 30,000 navy troops and 100,000 soldiers from Yizhou, there is no need to worry about failing to accomplish our great cause."

When Concubine Rong learned that Shangguan Rui had returned safely, she paced back and forth, then suddenly stopped, a fierce look flashing in her eyes. "Now we can only look for another opportunity, but this time we must make sure it is foolproof."

The nanny quickly and carefully reminded, "Your Majesty, please slow down. You are in a double body now. Don't be angry, it will be bad for the prince."

"Mammy, don't make a fuss. It will arouse suspicion."

"Your Majesty, when will you report the good news to the Emperor? I can't hide my pregnancy any longer."

"I want to wait until the baby is in a stable position before reporting the good news to the Emperor. Even if he doesn't want me to give birth to a prince by then, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. I believe he won't have the heart to harm the prince in my belly, after all, he is his own flesh and blood.

"Your Majesty is wise."

At this time, in the side hall, Shangguan Rui slowly woke up and was stunned to see the emperor standing by his bed.

"Rui'er, you're awake. How do you feel?"

Shangguan Rui struggled to stand up and salute, but the emperor held him down, "You are seriously injured, lie still. If you pull the wound, you will suffer again."

Shangguan Rui said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you for your concern, father. I am much better now."

"Why are you so stubborn, child? You didn't even bother to inform your father in advance when you were seriously injured."

"Father, I have never asked you for anything in my life. This time, I beg you to allow me to marry Shen Xue as my concubine. I hope your Majesty will grant this request."

The emperor frowned slightly, "Do you know the interests behind this?"

"Don't be afraid, I will protect her."

The emperor looked at Shangguan Rui with deep eyes. No one knew what he was thinking. After a pause, he said, "Go back and have a good rest. Come back to court after your injury has healed."

"Father..."

The emperor did not give him any chance to speak. He walked out of the side hall and ordered people to send Shangguan Rui back home to recuperate.

Shangguan Rui returned to the Third Prince's Mansion and wanted to see Shen Xue, but he felt too weak to do so. "Beize, tell Xiaoxue that I'll go see her tomorrow."

"Yes."

When Shen Xue returned to the Princess's Mansion, Chunyan applied medicine to her back again and said distressedly, "Princess, your wound is bleeding again. You've been lying down to recuperate for the past few days. There's still more than half a month until the New Year. The old lady must be worried when she sees you injured."

"Now I can focus on recovering from my injuries. Send someone to tell Xiaonan that He Qinghuan is in jail and tell him to focus on his studies."

"I will send someone to pass on the message immediately."

Shen Xue looked at the door from time to time, waiting for the familiar figure to appear. By the afternoon, Shangguan Rui had not yet appeared.

"Su Yu, go to the Third Prince's Mansion to see if he has returned home and is still in the palace."

"Yes."

Su Yu returned quickly, looking flustered: "County Lady, Bei Ze came to tell me that the Third Prince has returned home. He is feeling weak and will come to see you tomorrow."

"Is he injured?"

Chunyan hesitated and said, "County Lady, the Third Prince was seriously injured and fainted in the palace. The Emperor ordered someone to send the Third Prince back home to recuperate. He can't come today."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xue ignored the pain in her back and was about to get up and go to the Third Prince's mansion to see him. Chun Yan hurriedly stopped her: "County Lady, how can you take care of the Third Prince's mansion if you have a back injury? It will only make him worry. The Emperor has ordered someone to send the Third Prince back to his mansion. His wound must have been treated."

"The Third Prince is exhausted from the journey and injured. Let him rest early. Will you wait for him to come see you tomorrow?"

After hearing what Chunyan said, Shen Xue slowly lay down on the bed. "You are right. I saw that he looked bad at the time, so I felt that he was injured. I didn't expect it to be so serious."
