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

Minister of War's Office

Zhuang Shiwan suddenly felt unwell two days ago and after careful examination, she found many red rashes on her body.

She hurriedly ordered her servant to call a doctor. The doctor came hurriedly, took her pulse carefully, and prescribed some medicine. She thought that the patient would feel better after taking the medicine.

Unexpectedly, after taking two doses of medicine, the rash not only did not disappear, but became more severe. The rash on the body turned into pustules, which looked shocking.

She couldn't help sobbing softly because of the pain and itchiness, and angrily scolded the servants for their poor performance and for finding quack doctors. Her usual dignified and graceful demeanor was completely gone, and she was as unruly as a country woman.

I was so frightened that I trembled and served her carefully. The more angry she became, the more itchy her body became. She didn't dare to scratch, so she could only vent her anger on me.

Mrs. Zhuang heard about her daughter's condition and rushed over anxiously. As soon as she entered the room, she saw her daughter's miserable appearance and was heartbroken.

She walked quickly to the bedside, held her daughter's hand, and comforted her in a trembling voice: "Wan'er, don't be afraid. Mother has asked someone to call the doctor. I guarantee that the medicine will cure you."

Zhuang Shiwan burst into tears, tightly grasping her mother's hand, and choked with sobs: "Mother, I am in pain. Please send someone to the palace to invite the imperial physician. The imperial physician came and my illness was cured quickly."

"No, you absolutely cannot call the imperial physician. If the imperial physician knows your condition, the entire palace and the aristocratic circle will know about your condition. No nobleman will dare to marry you in the future."

"Mother, I can't care less. My whole body is itchy and painful, and I want to die. I beg you, please send someone to the palace to call the imperial physician!"

"I just have a common illness and it won't be passed on to anyone. What are you worried about?"

Madam Zhuang said worriedly, "Wan'er, you don't understand. Mother is worried that scars will remain after the boils subside. If people knew you were covered in scars, even matchmakers would avoid you, let alone a noble young man from the capital."

Zhuang Shiwan thought of her body covered in scars and suddenly let out a miserable cry. She cried heartbreakingly, "Mom, how can I face people with scars all over my body? I'd rather die..."

"Wan'er, don't worry. Mother is just saying, if. I'll send for Divine Doctor Ye. Please be patient for a while."

Suddenly, Mrs. Zhuang remembered that Doctor Ye was Concubine Hui's second uncle. If Doctor Ye treated her daughter, the Ye family would also know about her daughter's illness. After thinking it over, she ordered someone to go to the pharmacy to inquire about the folk doctor.

Zhuang Shiwan was itching unbearably and couldn't help crying, "Mom, my whole body is uncomfortable. Am I going to die?"

"Wan'er, don't talk nonsense. It's just a minor illness that will soon be cured with medicine. Mother has already sent for a doctor. Just bear with it for a while."

Mrs. Zhuang sent people to the pharmacies in the city to inquire about famous doctors. She would not give up as long as there was a glimmer of hope.

When Mr. Zhuang and Mrs. Zhuang learned about the situation, they rushed over. Seeing their granddaughter in such a state, they angrily scolded their daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Zhuang lowered her head and said nothing, tears of grievance welling up in her eyes.

Madam Zhuang angrily scolded, "Liu, why are you crying so hard? Wan'er only has a minor illness, but you've made it seem like a terminal illness."

"Mother, I know my mistake."

Madam Zhuang's face was gloomy, and she asked quickly: "Housekeeper, has the doctor arrived?"

"Madam, I've already sent someone to invite him, he'll be here soon."

Liu waited anxiously for the doctor to arrive. The doctor hurried over and carefully took Zhuang Shiwan's pulse, his brows furrowed and his face solemn.

"Doctor, how is my daughter's condition?"

The doctor paused for a moment and said, "Madam, I suspect Miss Zhuang has smallpox."

Everyone in the room was shocked. "Ceiling? Are you sure?"

"Although I have never personally seen smallpox, I have heard from my elders that Miss Zhuang's symptoms are similar to smallpox."

Madam Zhuang said sternly, "If you can't be sure that the smallpox has left our mansion, don't gossip about it. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

"Please rest assured, old lady, I won't go out and talk nonsense."

"Doctor, please prescribe medicine for my daughter!"

"Madam, I am not sure how to prescribe medicine for this disease. Please forgive me. I will take my leave."

The doctor said this and left without looking back.

Fearing that she might be infected, Madam Zhuang hurriedly left Zhuang Shiwan's boudoir and the yard, and quickly ordered that no outsiders were allowed to enter the yard, leaving only the servants who usually served Zhuang Shiwan.

After seeing her mother-in-law leave, Mrs. Liu walked to her bedside and said a few words of comfort. Then she made an excuse to leave the room and returned to her own room to take a shower and change clothes to prevent being infected.

Seeing her grandmother and mother, who had always loved her, gone, Zhuang Shiwan burst into tears with despair on her face. "Am I really going to die?"

The servants were terrified, fearing that they would be infected with smallpox, but they dared not disobey the old lady's orders, so they could only bite the bullet and serve Zhuang Shiwan.

The Zhuang family found several more doctors, but Zhuang Shiwan's condition became more serious. At this moment, her face was flushed, and she lay weakly on the bed, mumbling from time to time, and she was unconscious.

When Mrs. Liu learned that her daughter's condition was getting worse, she felt heartbroken and couldn't stop crying, but it was of no use.

The next day, the news spread throughout the streets of the capital that Zhuang Shiwan had contracted smallpox and would die, frightening the people into panic.

Even the concubines in the palace and the emperor knew about this. The emperor ordered that no one in the harem should step out of the palace unless necessary, and also ordered the imperial physician to prevent and treat smallpox.

He also issued an order ordering Lord Zhuang to rest in his mansion and not to enter the palace to see the emperor without his permission.

Lord Zhuang was worried that his family had become abandoned by the Emperor, and he immediately started verbally abusing and accusing his son and daughter-in-law.

Princess Mansion

Grandma was extremely worried when she learned that someone in the capital had contracted smallpox. "Xiaorou, you and the two children, don't leave the house unless necessary. This smallpox is too severe, and even doctors have no medicine to cure it."

Shen Rou knew the truth of the matter, and she comforted her: "Grandma, don't panic. Smallpox is not a terminal illness. As long as we don't have close contact with her, we will be fine."

"Are you really okay? You're pregnant and you have two children at home. Grandma is worried about you."

"Grandma, don't worry! We will be fine. Xiaoxue is a doctor. She has already ordered people to spread lime and strong alcohol to disinfect our house. We will be fine."

"Why didn't I see Xiaoxue so early in the morning?"

"Xiaoxue went to the palace to report to the emperor and asked him to disinfect it with lime and strong liquor, and then clean it."

"It's okay."

At this time, Shangguan Rui and Shen Xue came slowly, both with smiles on their faces. Shangguan Rui clasped his fists and saluted, "Greetings to Grandma and Grandpa. Greetings to Aunt Huang."

"The Third Prince is here, please take a seat."

"We just met at the palace gate and came over to take a look."

Shen Rou saw Xiaoxue's smiling face and said, "Xiaoxue, what are you so happy about? Tell us and share it with everyone."

"The Emperor ordered the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to calculate the date for my marriage to Brother Rui."

"When?"

"August 20th is the day you and your brother-in-law will get married, and my brother Rui and I will get married on October 8th."

"Our family has had many happy events this year. Autumn was also the time when Xiaonan took the provincial examination. Xiaonan passed the examination and became a juren. This year, our whole family returned to our hometown for the New Year and told your mother about these happy events."

"it is good."

"Today, the Emperor has set the date for our wedding and has also granted the Second Princess a marriage with Lu Ming, who was the runner-up in the high school entrance exam last year."

"How could the Emperor be willing to marry the Second Princess to a seventh-rank civil official? Concubine Qi also hoped that marrying her daughter to a noble son from a princely or general's family would consolidate her power in the harem. Unexpectedly, the Emperor chose a man from a poor family as his consort. Concubine Qi must be furious."

"The Emperor must have secretly observed Lu Ming's character and felt that the Second Princess would be happy if she married Lu Ming, who came from a poor family. That's why he married her to a seventh-rank official in the Hanlin Academy."

"Father, there are reasons for choosing a consort, but Concubine Qi certainly looks down on her only son-in-law."

"Even if she despises it, she can do nothing about it. After all, the emperor has issued an edict. How dare she disobey it?"

"Sister, you are absolutely right."

Shangguan Yunting has been in Pingzhou for more than two months and has not returned yet. She is worried about whether he can come back after the child is born.

"Third Prince, did the Emperor say when the prince will return?"

"Pingzhou has suffered a severe snowstorm and needs to rebuild. The Crown Prince and Censor He are secretly mining iron ore in Xiping Mountain. Uncle Jiu is tied up in many matters and will definitely not be able to return for the time being. Once the disaster relief and Xiping Mountain affairs are handled, Uncle Jiu will naturally return."

"I'm worried about whether he can come back in time after the baby is born."

"Don't worry, Uncle Jiu will be back after he takes care of the Pingzhou matter."

Grandma quickly comforted her, "Xiaorou, if the prince can't make it back, our whole family will be with you to watch the baby being born."

Shen Rou nodded softly.

Royal Palace

Upon hearing the news, Concubine Qi almost fainted from anger and hurried to find the emperor to revoke his order.

"My lady, where are you going?"

"I disagree with the consort that the Emperor has chosen for the Second Princess. I am going to beg the Emperor to revoke his decision."

The nanny quickly stopped her, saying, "Your Majesty, please don't displease the Emperor. A lot has happened in the palace recently. The Emperor has dealt with Concubine Rong and Concubine He, and then the Crown Prince and Censor He. He must be in a bad mood right now. If you go and anger the Emperor, have you considered the consequences?"

"It was you who took the Emperor to the Imperial Gardens to see the peonies in full bloom, and that's when you discovered the affair between Concubine Rong and the First Prince. The Emperor is incredibly intelligent, and he would have surely sent someone to investigate the matter thoroughly. How could he not have known that the peonies in full bloom on New Year's Eve were just a cover, and that their real purpose was to take him to the side hall and expose the affair between Concubine Rong and the First Prince?"

When Concubine Qi heard this, she was suddenly frightened. She wondered if the emperor would take action against her if he blamed her for the incident.

Concubine Qi worriedly said, "Could the consort chosen by the Emperor for the Second Princess be a reminder to me?"

"Your Majesty, don't panic. Even if the Emperor is angry, he won't take it out on you. After all, let him see everything clearly."

"As a man, who can accept such a shameful thing, let alone the most powerful man in Da Qi."

"So, your majesty, you must not provoke the emperor."

But she was unhappy at the thought that her only daughter was going to marry a poor boy.

She angrily said, "I don't know what the emperor is thinking. How can the second princess, a princess of such wealth and status, marry a man without money and power? She will definitely be ridiculed by the world after marrying him."

"Your Majesty, although Lu Bangyan has no family background, he is kind-hearted, handsome, hardworking, and ambitious. He is much better than the nobles in the capital. If the Second Princess marries him, she will not be oppressed by her mother-in-law, and Lu Bangyan will obey her orders. How wonderful!"

"How can a mere seventh-rank civil servant be worthy of the princess's status? He can't help me in any way. What use is there for such a consort?"

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has issued his decree. There is no turning back on this matter."

Although Concubine Qi was dissatisfied with this marriage, she did not dare to displease the emperor. She now wished that the emperor would forget about her.

The nanny whispered again: "Madam, the Liu family has sent someone to inquire about Liu Yu's whereabouts."

"Liu Yu followed Shi Wan into the palace for the New Year's Eve dinner. I don't know the details of the situation."

"At the banquet, it was Shi Wan's servant who asked me to lead the emperor to the side hall. I have never seen Liu Yu, so what does his son's disappearance have to do with me?"

"But the Liu family insists that you ordered the eldest daughter to bring Liu Yu to the palace for the dinner. Now that he's missing, they're clamoring for an explanation. If you continue to ignore them, will the Liu family report it to the authorities? If the emperor learns the truth, the consequences will be disastrous, and it will also implicate the entire family."

"It's not appropriate to ask Shiwan about Liu Yu now that she's sick. Fanghua said she saw Liu Yu enter the side hall and didn't know why it turned out like this."

"My Lady, could the disappearance of Young Master Liu be related to the Princess of Ya'an?"

"Liu Yu disappeared in the palace. How could Shen Xue hide a living person? Her elder sister Shen Rou couldn't do it either, not to mention she was just a mere county lady. Afterwards, you also found out that the Shen sisters were accompanying the Empress Dowager in Shoukang Palace. When they left the palace, they were with the Third Prince. Liu Yu was nowhere to be found. Liu Yu's disappearance definitely had nothing to do with them."

"I will first appease the Liu family, and then send someone to investigate Liu Yu's whereabouts."

"That's all."
