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

In front of the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace, the emperor was in the lead, wearing a gorgeous dragon robe, with a majestic expression and firm steps.

Shangguan Yunting walked in the middle holding the pregnant Shen Rou, Han Lin held Shangguan Yan, and Xu Yang held Shangguan Qing as they came along in a mighty manner.

Nanny Cui had been waiting at the palace gate. When she saw them approaching, she immediately knelt down and saluted, shouting, "This old servant greets the Emperor, greets Prince Mu, greets Princess Mu, and greets the two young masters."

The emperor nodded slightly, signaled Nanny Cui to stand up, and then strode into Shoukang Palace.

Inside Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother was sitting on a couch, waiting for the Emperor and Prince Mu to arrive. She was wearing a gorgeous robe and a phoenix crown, appearing very noble and elegant.

Shangguan Yunting helped Shen Rou kneel down and bow, "Your unfilial son is back."

The Queen Mother excitedly took Shangguan Yunting's hand, tears welling up in her eyes, her voice trembling: "Old Nine, you are finally back! I have been waiting day and night for you to finally be back safely!"

Shangguan Yunting looked at the Queen Mother, his heart filled with guilt and emotion. He knelt before the Queen Mother and said, "Mother, I am unfilial and have caused you worry. Please forgive me."

The Queen Mother helped Shangguan Yunting up, carefully examining his face. She said with pity, "It must have been hard living on the isolated island for over three years! You've become darker and thinner."

"We are the only family of four living on the island. We have abundant supplies. Although not as good as on land, we have all kinds of seafood and game. There are no doctors on the island. When Xiaorou gave birth to her two children, she went through a lot of hardships and finally had a safe delivery."

The Queen Mother cast her gaze towards Shen Rou, her eyes filled with apology and gratitude. She slowly said, "Princess Mu, thank you for taking care of Old Nine over the years and giving birth to a pair of twin grandsons for me. I am deeply grateful."

The Queen Mother's voice was full of sincerity and gratitude.

Shen Rou thought to herself that if the Queen Mother knew that her son had been doing housework and taking care of the two children for more than three years, and also doing farm work, she would be so heartbroken that she would not be able to eat or sleep.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is what a daughter-in-law should do."

The Queen Mother sighed softly, a trace of guilt flashing in her eyes. "Princess Mu, I was very critical of you back then. For the sake of our two children, please don't take it to heart."

Shen Rou shook her head, her eyes gleaming with determination. "Empress Dowager, that little thing is insignificant in the face of life and death. Your daughter-in-law has long forgotten it. I am fortunate to be able to return to the capital this time, and even more fortunate to see Your Majesty. From now on, your daughter-in-law will often bring our two children to the palace to accompany you, making up for the family happiness we have missed in the past few years."

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded. "That's very kind. I am old and always hope to have children and grandchildren to enjoy my life. I ask for nothing more. If you need anything, please tell me."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

"Why are you still calling me Empress Dowager? Follow the Emperor and Old Nine and call me Mother."

"It's the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother turned her gaze to the two children and immediately revealed a kind smile, "Come, come to the Imperial Grandmother."

"Madam Cui, quickly go and bring the gifts I prepared to the Crown Prince and Young Master."

"Old slave, I obey."

The two children came before the Empress Dowager and knelt down to pay their respects. "Grandson, Shangguan Yan, pays respects to the Empress Dowager. Grandson, Shangguan Qing, pays respects to the Empress Dowager."

Tears glistened in the Queen Mother's eyes as she looked at the two children lovingly. Her voice trembled slightly as she said, "Good children, please let the Empress Dowager take a good look at you. Our Yan'er and Qing'er look exactly like your father when he was a child."

The two children stood up obediently and stood in front of the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager looked at the two children kindly, a relieved smile on her face, "Grandmother, your eyesight is too poor to tell who is older and who is younger."

The two children looked up at the Empress Dowager, their eyes filled with respect and love. "Grandmother, your grandson Shangguan Yan is the older brother. Your grandson Shangguan Qing is the younger brother."

"At first glance, they are bright-eyed and bright-toothed children, exceedingly intelligent."

"Thank you, Grandmother Miao Zan."

"This little mouth is really good at talking, it's really attractive."

"Old Nine, Princess Mu, they look exactly the same. How can you tell them apart? Will you make a mistake?"

"To answer your mother, when they were young, your daughter-in-law often made mistakes in her behavior. Look carefully at the words on Yan'er's eyebrows, and you will not make mistakes."

"Yan'er has been sleeping since he was a child, he never cries or makes a fuss, while Qing'er has been crying and making a fuss when he is unhappy, and even after he learned to talk, he kept talking."

"The two children have completely different personalities. One is mature and steady, the other is lively and active. When they grow up, one is literary and the other is martial, which is just right to complement each other."

Shangguan Qing looked at the Empress Dowager with clear eyes, but his tone was sonorous and powerful. "Grandmother, my father taught us on the island that as descendants of the royal family, we must cultivate both civil and military skills. When we return to the capital one day, we must defend our homeland and our country. This is our responsibility and obligation. He also often told us that our uncle, the emperor, guards the palace for the country and the people. He guards the gates of our Great Qi and does not allow foreign invaders to set foot on our territory."

The Queen Mother and the Emperor were very pleased to hear Shangguan Qing's words and nodded repeatedly, "You are indeed a descendant of the royal family. You have such awareness at such a young age. Your father is right. As a grandson of the royal family, although your status is noble, it also carries great responsibilities. You must live up to your status in everything you do."

"My grandson understands."

The emperor looked at Shangguan Yunting with satisfaction and said, "Ninth Brother, I am very proud of you. No matter where you are, you care about our Great Qi. I am very pleased."

"Brother Your Majesty, I am a brute with a knives and a spear. I don't understand the politics of the court, but I do have some confidence in defending the borders."

The emperor laughed heartily, "We brothers, one civil and one military, are enough to protect the century-old foundation of our Shangguan family."

The Queen Mother looked at the two children and liked them more and more. "Our Yan'er and Qing'er are so handsome, well-behaved and sensible. The more the Queen Mother sees them, the more she likes them."

"Grandmother, you are even more kind and compassionate than my father and mother described. You are the most beautiful grandmother in the world."

The Queen Mother burst into laughter. "This little mouth is really good at talking. It's even better at making people happy than your father was when he was a child. Even if the Royal Grandmother falls asleep, she will wake up laughing tonight."

"Grandmother Royal likes her grandson. She will often come to the palace to accompany her. When the time comes, please don't be disgusted by her noisy behavior."

"The Empress Dowager is more than happy to accept this."

At this time, Nanny Cui returned with two exquisite boxes and handed them to the Empress Dowager, "Yan'er, this is a gift from the Empress Dowager."

"Thank you, Grandmother."

Han Lin quickly took the brocade box.

"Qing'er, this is a gift from the Empress Dowager."

Xu Yang also quickly accepted the gift.

"Thank you, Grandmother."

Nanny Cui came back in with a larger brocade box. The Queen Mother looked at Shen Rou kindly, "Princess Mu, this is a gift from your mother. I should have given it to you a few years ago, but it's been delayed until now. But it's not too late."

"Thank you, Mother."

"Madame Cui, is lunch ready? The two children must be hungry."

"Replying to the Empress Dowager, lunch is ready. Please ask the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to move to the side hall to have dinner."

"Let's go have lunch."

Shangguan Qing saw that the Queen Mother had given out all the gifts and hadn't mentioned giving her sister a gift, so he asked in a childish voice, "Grandmother, do you like my sister?"

The Queen Mother was filled with surprise. "Sister? Where did the sister come from?"

"In my mother's womb."

Everyone turned their attention to Shen Rou's abdomen. The Queen Mother said with surprise, "Princess Mu, are you pregnant?"

"My dear mother, my daughter-in-law is more than four months pregnant."

"My Queen Mother is so blind that she didn't realize that Princess Mu was pregnant."

"Madam Cui, please ask the imperial physician to take Princess Mu's pulse. She has been traveling for many days and must see me before I can rest assured."

"Pick some gifts from my storehouse and send them to Princess Mu for the future little princess."

"Old slave, I obey."

"Mother, you don't need to send any more gifts until the child is born."

"This is a gift from my future granddaughter. Please don't refuse it."

Shangguan Yunting said quickly: "Xiaorou, this is mother's intention, don't refuse it."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

The imperial physician hurried over and respectfully took Shen Rou's pulse. After a moment, the imperial physician's face lit up with joy. "Congratulations, Queen Mother, congratulations, Princess Mu. The fetus's pulse is stable and everything is fine."

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's good. Come have lunch with me."

"Yes"

The empress dowager brought everyone to the side hall for dinner. The table was filled with delicacies. Nanny Cui usually served the dishes to the empress dowager, but today she was specifically serving the two children. Shangguan Yunting picked up food for the empress dowager and Shen Rou from time to time.

During lunch, the Queen Mother said with emotion, "I haven't been this happy in years, thanks to Princess Mu for giving me such a big surprise."

"My daughter-in-law will often bring the two children to the palace to eat with the Queen Mother."

"That feeling is good!"

After lunch, the Queen Mother saw that Shen Rou looked exhausted and the two children also needed a nap. "Old Nine, your family of four has been traveling for many days. Princess Mu is pregnant. Yan'er and Qing'er also need to rest. You should go back! We can talk again when we have time."

"My son, I obey."

"My grandson will miss my grandmother."

This made the Queen Mother beam with joy, "Grandmother Huang will also miss Yan'er and Qing'er."

The family of four bowed and took their leave, and Shangguan Yunting took Shen Rou's hand and walked out of the palace.

The Queen Mother looked at their backs, her heart filled with relief and anticipation.

"The more the two children watched, the more they liked it."

"The Crown Prince and the Young Master are not only handsome, but also extremely intelligent. Who wouldn't like them?"

"Old Nine and Princess Mu will surely have good fortune in the future after surviving this disaster."

"The Queen Mother is right."
