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

The carriage slowly drove to the palace gate, and Chen Fu said to Shen Rou in the carriage: "Miss Shen, we have arrived at the palace."

Shen Rou slowly got out of the carriage. The palace gate was heavily guarded. Looking up, she saw that the palace walls were tall and majestic. The vermilion gate was open, and two rows of fully armed guards stood in front of the gate. They were tall and straight, with sharp eyes, which made people feel daunted.

Chen Fu led Shen Rou straight through the main gate. As they entered the palace, the jade floor beneath their feet was warm and smooth, as if reflecting her figure. The fence was carved with exquisite patterns.

Every three steps there was a guard, every five steps there was a sentry. The imperial guards stood there with upright postures and sharp eyes, like statues. Their presence made people feel extremely safe and also added to the majesty of the palace.

As they walked, Eunuch Chen told Shen Rou that she had to kneel down and kowtow to the emperor. Shen Rou was extremely reluctant to kneel, but she had to bow her head under his eaves.

He is the boss of the entire Da Qi, and anyone who dares to disobey will be suppressed by force. In order to save her life, Shen Rou had no choice but to agree.

She looked around, and what she saw was completely different from what she saw in the Forbidden City in Beijing, and her mood was also different.

They crossed the palace square and arrived at the main hall entrance. Chen Fu stopped and said, "Miss Shen, please wait here. I will go in and report to the emperor."

"it is good."

A moment later, the eunuch came out and said, "Miss Shen, please come in."

When Shen Rou walked into the hall, she was greeted by the aroma of agarwood, which made her feel relaxed and happy.

The magnificent hall was empty. Shen Rou asked curiously: "Eunuch, where is the emperor?"

"Miss Shen, the emperor is busy with state affairs, please wait a moment."

"it is good."

Shen Rou waited quietly in the hall, wondering in her heart why the emperor summoned me when he was busy with state affairs. Couldn't he call me over when he was free?

Although she thought so, her face remained expressionless.

Looking around, I saw that the hall was extremely luxuriously decorated, with famous paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls and thick carpets on the floor. Everything looked so solemn, noble and luxurious.

Shen Rou's every move was seen clearly by the emperor behind the screen. He wanted to see what kind of good girl his royal brother liked, and was praised to the sky by the ninth prince.

Shen Rou was getting bored waiting, so she went to the side to admire the calligraphy and paintings on the wall. She had loved literature and art since she was young, and was quite interested in these paintings.

Just as she was watching intently, she suddenly heard a cough. She turned around and saw a man in a dragon robe slowly approaching.

The man was tall, handsome, dignified, and had deep, sharp eyes, as if he could see through people's hearts.

While Shen Rou was stunned, the emperor had already walked up to Shen Rou and looked at her carefully. Although she was wearing men's clothes, it could not hide her beauty and temperament. She also had a heroic feeling.

Chen Fu quickly reminded her: "Miss Shen, you must show respect when you see the emperor."

Shen Rou didn't want to kneel down to anyone, but he was the most powerful man in Da Qi, and anyone who saw him had to kneel down and worship him.

Thinking of this, Shen Rou reluctantly accepted the kneeling ceremony in her heart. She could only follow the local customs!

"The daughter of the common people meets the emperor."

"Miss Shen, please don't be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor nodded slightly, "I heard from Lao Jiu that you are my savior."

Shen Rou was surprised and asked, "Have I ever saved the emperor? Who is Lao Jiu?"

"Old Nine, don't you know who it is?"

Shen Rou shook her head in confusion.

"He is my ninth brother, Prince Mu."

Shen Rou pretended to be surprised and asked, "Is it Prince Mu, the Great Qi God of War?"

"Does my Great Qi still have several Mu Kings?"

"I don't know."

The emperor looked at Shen Rou with sharp eyes, wondering whether she was pretending to be innocent or just innocent.

"You have collected wild uncracked Coptis chinensis."

"I picked it, and then sold it to the owner of the drugstore."

"That's right. I have always ordered Lao Jiu to find you and come to the capital to thank you in person for saving my life."

"Your Majesty, please be polite. It is my honor to help you."

Chen Fu quickly reminded her: "Miss Shen, you should call yourself a commoner in front of the emperor."

"Miss Shen, ignorance is not a crime."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"What reward do you want?"

"I don't want any reward, I just want the emperor to give my mother justice."

"I heard from Old Nine about your family's affairs. The complaint went from the county yamen to the prefectural yamen, and then to the Jingzhao prefectural yamen. If the Jingzhao prefectural yamen didn't hear the case, it could only be brought before me. You bypassed them and filed a complaint before me directly. There will be a price to pay for this. Do you dare?"

"Your Majesty, I have made up my mind."

"Fifty strokes of the cane, do you dare?"

Shen Rou said firmly, "As long as I can redress my mother's injustice, I am willing to endure fifty blows of the cane."

The emperor smiled slightly and said loudly: "Good, you have courage and determination. Come to the palace at 1:00 a.m. tomorrow and I will personally interrogate this case."

Shen Rou quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will enter the palace at 1:00 AM tomorrow."

"Okay. Chen Fu will take Miss Shen back to the inn."

"Old slave obeys the order."

After Shen Rou thanked the emperor, she followed Chen Fu out of the hall.

The Emperor watched Shen Rou's departing figure and murmured softly, "Old Nine has good taste. This girl is courageous and decisive. No wonder Old Nine looks down on the delicate ladies of the capital. It turns out he has someone in his heart, but she's of a lower status. Otherwise, they would be a perfect match made in heaven."

"It's possible to solve the problem if she's of a lower status, but that means reporting her own father to the emperor, which will definitely damage her reputation. The Queen Mother knows that she will definitely not agree to the Ninth Prince marrying her as a concubine. Unless she is taken as a concubine, it will be difficult for the Queen Mother to agree."

"With Lao Jiu's personality, how could he possibly let the girl he loves suffer?"

"Old Nine, I can only help you up to this point. Whether you can achieve enlightenment in the future depends entirely on your own luck."

Chen Fu sent Shen Rou to the door of the inn and left. When the innkeeper saw Shen Rou coming back, he ran over to greet her with a smile.

"Miss Shen, you're back! Have you seen the emperor?"

"seen."

"What does the emperor look like?"

"One head, two eyes, one nose and one mouth, just like us normal people."

"I heard that the emperor is very serious and stern, and people dare not look him in the eye."

"This is the emperor's innate majesty. Otherwise, how could he suppress a group of old ministers in the court?"

"Miss Shen's words make sense. I admire you."

At this time, Wang Jian and Su Xin came to the inn, "Miss Shen, you are back. We just came to look for you, and the innkeeper said that you were taken to the palace by Eunuch Chen. We were so scared that we rushed to the palace, and the guard said that you came back with Eunuch Chen."

"What do you want from me?"

"Let's go talk at the pharmacy."

"it is good."

They came to the pharmacy, "What do you want from me?"

"The commander of the Imperial Guard, He Lingfeng, led his men in a fight with Xue Zhong's assassins at Shoushan. Countless assassins were killed or wounded, but they managed to escape with Xue Fan."

"We rushed to find you because we wanted to tell you to be careful. When you sue Jiang Zongwei in front of the emperor, those who are interested will naturally guess that you are responsible for the series of incidents that have befallen the Xue family, and they will want to prevent Xue Fan from seeking revenge on you."

"Don't worry! He doesn't dare to show up for the time being."

"Then you must be careful in the future. I have already sent a message to Ye Qing and Xu Yang, asking them to protect grandma and the others at all times."

"Tomorrow, bring Yang Qinghua to the palace and have him sue Xue Zhong for selling official positions. The emperor's wrath will surge to his head. Beat Xue Zhong to death with a single blow and leave him no chance of recovery."

"Are you worried that Xue Fan will send someone to the prison to rescue Xue Zhong?"

"It's hard to say. After all, Xue Zhong has served in the court for many years and has a wide network of contacts. If someone were to come to his rescue and find out that I was behind it, he would definitely not let it go."

"It's also a good thing to make Xue Zhong disappear completely. After all, Xue Fan has no sense of responsibility or ability. Even if he escapes, he will hide and live in anonymity."

Su Xin said worriedly: "Miss Shen, no matter what, you still have to be careful in the future."

"I see."

"The Emperor knows I'm the one who collected wild Coptis chinensis. He asked me about my complaint and told me to come to the palace to file my complaint at dawn tomorrow. He also said that if I bypassed the county, prefectural, and Jingzhao government offices and filed my complaint directly before the Emperor, I'd be punished with fifty sticks. I don't know if he was telling the truth or just trying to scare me."

"This is the law of the Great Qi. Anyone in the province can go to the capital to file a complaint. The emperor doesn't have the time to deal with such things. The emperor set up the county and prefectural yamen to help local people solve their problems."

"You bypassed the county government office and came directly to the emperor. This is a rare thing."

"Will the Emperor wait for you to file a complaint and then punish you with fifty sticks?"

"I don't know. If he really hits me, I can only bear it."

"Can a skinny little girl like you withstand fifty sticks?"

"You have to bear it even if you can't. Tomorrow you will accompany me to the palace to prevent me from being injured. Someone will take me back to the inn."

"Yes."

Royal Palace

Eunuch Chen took the news sent back by He Lingfeng of the Imperial Guard and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, this is the news sent back by the commander of the Imperial Guard."

The emperor was furious when he saw this. "Xue Zhong, you dare to raise assassins privately. Are you planning to rebel?"

"Chen Fu, send a thousand men to Shoushan to assist He Lingfeng in capturing the fugitive Xue Fan."

"I obey your order."

At this time, Xiao Qi, the commander of the Imperial Guards, came in to report: "Your Majesty, the property of the Xue Mansion has been transferred. Only these items were confiscated from the mansion. Please review them."

The emperor was furious after seeing this. These were not property at all, but some worthless decorations. He actually fooled me. Xue Zhong was ambitious and privately raised assassins and transferred property. What was he trying to do?

"Xiao Qi, no matter what method you use, you must find out the whereabouts of the Xue family's property."

"I humble my duty and obey the decree."

The emperor sat there with a gloomy and cruel look in his eyes, and the whole hall fell into silence.
