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

The emperor received news from Shangguan Yunting that the forces of Yunmen Mountain in Qingzhou had collapsed, which made him feel much more relieved.

Thinking of Magistrate Meng following Shangguan Jue's orders, his face darkened. He slammed his hand on the table and angrily said, "Meng Xiang, he was truly loyal. Even after his master was dead, he sent people to avenge him. It's a pity he escaped. He's extremely cunning and cautious. Keeping him around will only create hidden dangers. He must be eliminated as soon as possible."

"Chen Fu, send a message to Leng Jian. Tell him to execute all the assassins and send the common soldiers to Mobei to farm. Also tell him to thoroughly investigate the matter of Meng Xiang. He must be apprehended, otherwise there will be endless trouble."

"Old slave obeys the order."

The emperor sent another message to Shangguan Yunting, ordering him to hand over the Meng Xiang case to Leng Jian and his men to investigate. He was also to hand over the Pingzhou matter to Lord Qin, who had just been sent to take over the reconstruction of Jia County, and he could return to the capital.

After receiving the emperor's order, Leng Jian immediately ordered the execution of all the assassins and the dispatch of more than 2,000 soldiers to Mobei. He then ordered the soldiers to return to the camp, and he brought his shadow guards to Jia County to investigate the matter of Meng Xiang.

Shangguan Yunting handed over all matters concerning Meng Xiang to Leng Jian, and he set out on the journey back to Beijing with more than ten guards.

Xue Fan brought dozens of his assassins to Jizhou, the closest city to the capital. Now he has lost his official position, his iron mine, and his source of silver. He must find a way to make money to prepare for the expansion of his power.

"He Feng, send someone to investigate the Liu family, the richest family in Jizhou. Even if they're the richest family in Jizhou, they're connected to the Minister of War's residence and Empress Qi in the palace. We should use their connections to expand our influence as quickly as possible. Otherwise, how can we compete with the powerful Prince Mu?"

"Yes."

He Feng returned with a report: "Master, Liu Jizhong's youngest son, Liu Yu, has been missing for several months, and there is still no clue. The Liu family is extremely worried. Mrs. Liu even fell seriously ill because of her son's disappearance."

"Didn't they report it to the police?"

"I heard no."

"Why didn't the Liu family report the disappearance of their powerful son to the authorities? I think there's something else going on behind Liu Yu's disappearance."

"My Lord, if we find Liu Jizhong's son, it would be like saving his life. We could then use this relationship to visit the Fourth Prince in the palace."

"Given the Liu family's influence, their son has been missing for months with no clues. The grass on Liu Yu's grave might be half a man's height."

"What should I do?"

Xue Fan pondered for a moment, "Send someone to thoroughly investigate Liu Yu's daily life and who he is closely related to. The most important thing is his appearance and figure. Then send someone to thoroughly investigate all the relatives of the Liu family."

"Yes."

He looked into the distance with a sinister and vicious look on his face. "Shangguan Yunting and Shen Rou, we will meet again soon. I just don't know in what capacity I will meet you. We will wait and see."

At this time, Shen Rou was more than nine months pregnant. She was sitting in the main hall chatting with her family, stroking her bulging belly.

As the due date draws closer, the Shen family becomes even more nervous than Shen Rou herself, and the whole family accompanies her every day.

Shen Xue was inseparable from her. Worried that she would have a stomachache in the middle of the night, she planned to sleep on the floor in the room to accompany her, but was rejected by Shen Rou.

Later, they discussed and decided that Su Mo and the other three would take turns guarding Shen Rou's room, so that the Shen family would feel at ease.

Su Mo came with a letter from Shangguan Yunting, "Princess, a letter from the master."

Shen Rou took the letter, unfolded it, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips. Shangguan Yunting expressed his longing for her and announced his imminent return.

"Sister, is my brother-in-law coming back?"

Shen Rou hummed softly, then gently stroked her bulging belly and said with a smile: "Can this child wait until his father returns to be born?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a dull pain in his stomach, "Ouch..."

Shen Xue asked with concern: "Sister, what's wrong?"

"My stomach hurts a little."

Grandma and grandpa hurried to Shen Rou's side and asked with concern: "Is the baby about to be born? Call the midwife."

"Grandma, don't be nervous, it might be fetal movement."

"Sister, let's go back to the room first. I'll check you out."

After saying that, he carefully helped Shen Rou walk towards the room. On the way back, the pain became more and more intense.

Grandma and Grandpa looked nervous, their eyes full of concern and worry, as they followed them all the way to the room.

Back in the room, Shen Rou was gently placed on the bed. Shen Xue hurriedly took her pulse and gently felt back and forth on her abdomen.

"My eldest sister is about to give birth. Go and prepare the birthing supplies and ginseng soup."

Chunyan hurried to arrange the ginseng soup, while the others were busy setting up the delivery room and the things needed for delivery. Everyone walked in a hurry, not daring to slack off for a moment.

At this time, Shen Rou was lying on the bed with sweat on her forehead. She gritted her teeth and endured the severe pain, looking forward to the arrival of her third son.

Outside the house, the Shen family was waiting anxiously.

Inside the delivery room, Shen Rou's cries of pain continued to be heard. Shen Xue held her sister's hand tightly, comforting and encouraging her softly.

With a loud baby cry, the child was finally born.

It was a boy, and everyone cried with joy.

Shen Xue quickly wrapped the child and held him in Shen Rou's arms, "Sister, look how handsome my nephew is. He will definitely grow up to be a handsome, gentle and elegant young man."

Shen Rou looked at the newborn baby weakly. The baby had his eyes closed and his face was red. She couldn't see what was so pretty about him.

"Sister, if you are tired, take a nap. I will give the baby to the nurse to take care of."

Shen Rou nodded gently, slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Shen Xue carried the child out of the delivery room and handed the child to the wet nurse to take care of. "Su Mo, send someone to the palace to report to the emperor and the queen mother that Princess Mu has given birth to another little boy."

"I obey my orders."

The emperor sat on the magnificent dragon throne and reviewed memorials.

Eunuch Chen hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, the Princess's Mansion sent someone to deliver the news that Princess Mu has given birth to another little boy."

The Emperor's lips curled up slightly when he heard this, happy for his brother. "Chen Fu, go get the newly carved jade pendant."

"Old slave obeys the order."

Not long after, Eunuch Chen returned in short, small steps, holding an exquisite brocade box in his hands. He came before the emperor and carefully presented it with both hands.

The emperor opened the brocade box, and inside lay a warm jade pendant. The jade pendant emitted a soft luster under the sunlight, and the auspicious clouds carved on it were lifelike. The word "Heng" was carved on the back of the jade pendant.

"I am the third legitimate son of Prince Mu, and I have given him the name Shangguan Heng. Heng means unique and outstandingly talented."

"Chen Fu, please select the finest supplements and gifts from my private treasury and send them to the Princess's Mansion to congratulate Prince Mu and Princess Mu on the birth of their third son."

"You go and deliver the gifts to the Princess's Mansion in person."

"Old slave obeys the order."

When the Queen Mother learned that Shen Rou had given her another grandson, she immediately sent someone to deliver gifts and congratulations.

When the concubines in the harem saw the emperor and the empress dowager sending gifts to congratulate Prince Mu and Princess Mu on the birth of their third son, they also sent gifts to congratulate them. Even Concubine Qi, who was dissatisfied with the Shen family, ordered her nanny to send gifts to congratulate them.

The Princess's Mansion was bustling with activity, with people coming to congratulate her in an endless stream.

After Shen Rou woke up, she learned that everyone had given gifts, and ordered people to give gifts in return to the ministers who had given them.

Shen Xue handed the jade pendant given by the emperor to Shen Rou, "Sister, this is a jade disc that the emperor ordered people to carve for Heng'er, and named him Shangguan Heng."

Shen Rou muttered silently, "Shangguan Heng, what a good name."

At this time, Shen Nan came slowly with the Fourth Prince, Shangguan Yan and Shangguan Qing. Shen Nan and Shangguan Yu, who were thirteen or fourteen years old, had grown into handsome and elegant noblemen.

I knocked on the door and said, "Sister, we're coming in."

"come in!"

Several children walked in with smiles on their faces. Shangguan Qing ran over and said, "Mother, where is my brother? Let me see him."

Shen Rou pointed to the baby in the cradle beside her. Shangguan Qing tiptoed over and looked at his brother curiously.

The Fourth Prince, Shen Nan, and Shangguan Yan all bowed politely to Shen Rou and asked, "Sister, how are you?"

"Just a little weak. Go check on the third brother!"

Shangguan Qing tiptoed over and looked at his baby brother curiously. He quickly reached out to touch the sleeping Shangguan Heng, but Shen Xue quickly stopped him.

"Qing'er, my brother is asleep. If you wake him up, he will cry."

"I just wanted to touch his face."

"That won't work either. What if he doesn't sleep well and starts crying?"

"I can coax him to sleep, just like my father coaxed my mother."

Shen Rou's face flushed immediately, and she said awkwardly: "This child is talking nonsense. When did your father coax me to sleep?"

"When we were on the island, I saw my father coaxing my mother to sleep."

"This kid is talking nonsense."

"Brother, you also saw Father coaxing Mother to sleep. Tell me, am I talking nonsense?"

Everyone in the room turned their eyes to Shangguan Yan. He looked calm and composed, and said calmly, "I haven't seen it, so I don't know."

"You're a liar. I don't want to be friends with you anymore."

"casual."

Shen Nan and Shangguan Yan also wanted to touch the sleeping Shangguan Heng, but Shen Xue would not let them, so they could only stare at the cute Shangguan Heng.

"My nephew is so cute. Can I hug him when he wakes up, second sister?"

Several children said in unison: "I want a hug too."

"No, Heng'er is too young. I'll hold him when he grows up."

"Aunt, how big does my brother have to be before we can hold him in our arms?"

"Next year you'll be able to hold your little brother."

"My little brother has grown up and we can't hold him anymore. I want to hold him now."

Shangguan Yan rolled his eyes and looked at his younger brother with disdain. "Are you stupid? Your younger brother is taller, and so are you. You will always be bigger than him, so why can't you hold him?"

Shangguan Qing saw his brother's expression of disdain for him and said unconvincedly, "Shangguan Yan, you were only born two cups of tea earlier than me, yet you act like you know more than me."

"I definitely know more than you."

"What do you know better than me? We studied together, practiced together, and I know everything you know."

Shangguan Yan looked at Shangguan Qing with disdain, "At least I wouldn't ask such a stupid question."

"I'm a kid and I ask questions when I don't understand. I'm not like you pretending to know when you don't."

"Don't treat yourself like a child. We are already four years old."

"Four years old is still a child. Look at my fourth brother and uncle, they are still children even though they are thirteen or fourteen years old."

"Who said I was a child? We are already adults."

"Grandma always asks you what a child you are. Aren't you a child? Or is she wrong? I'll go ask her if you are a child."

At this time, grandma and grandpa came to see the child, "Qing'er, what do you want to ask great-grandma?"

"Great-grandmother, do you think my uncle is a child?"

"what's wrong?"

"Just tell me if it's true!"

Grandma's face was full of kindness, and she smiled and said, "Yes, yes, you are right."

Shangguan Qing held his head high and puffed out his chest. "Uncle, look, great-grandmother said you were a child! And you kept arguing with me."

Everyone in the room burst into laughter at Shangguan Qing's amusement, which also woke up Shangguan Heng, who was sound asleep, and immediately the sound of a baby crying could be heard from the room.

Grandma hurriedly took the child out to coax him, fearing that it would disturb Shen Rou's rest.

A few children followed their grandmother out out of curiosity, and the room suddenly became quiet.

"Sister, are you hungry? I'll ask the kitchen to make some food and bring it over."

"I happen to be hungry."

At this time, Shangguan Yunting strode into the room, then quickly walked to Shen Rou's bedside, held her hand, and said affectionately, "Rou'er, thank you for your hard work."

Shen Xue saw Shangguan Yunting coming back and tactfully left the room.

Shen Rou's face was full of happiness. "I am willing to have children. I don't feel any hardship at all. Instead, I feel very happy."

"You must be tired from traveling! Go to the next room and rest."

"I'm not tired. I just want to accompany you. We haven't seen each other for a few months. Don't you miss me?"

At this time, Chunyan came with Shen Rou's confinement meal. Shangguan Yunting took the food and slowly fed it to Shen Rou.

After eating, Shen Rou saw that he looked tired and said distressedly: "Your Majesty, go wash up, change clothes, and go to rest."

"I'll go wash up and come back in a while."

Shangguan Yunting quickly changed his clothes and came over, sitting beside the bed. He said distressedly, "You are weak, rest for a while."

Shen Rou nodded gently, "You come up and sleep for a while too."

Shangguan Yunting deliberately teased: "My wife, do you miss me? My husband is respectful and I will obey your command."

Shen Rou rolled her eyes. "You're crazy! I took your kindness for granted. I saw you were tired from traveling, so I asked you to come up and rest. What were you thinking?"

"My dear wife, you are mistaken! I just followed your instructions and went to bed to rest. What do you think?"

Shen Rou pretended to be angry and said, "It's boring, go to sleep."

Shangguan Yunting smiled evilly, "Okay, go to sleep."

Shangguan Yunting held Shen Rou's hand, and they both fell asleep quickly.
