Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 43 The Emperor's Dragon-Patterned Jade Pendant

"Puff-"

A loud splashing sound came from an empty courtyard in the Prime Minister's residence.

Du Huai'an floated on the water, soaking wet. A person dressed in black was supporting him weakly. The cool lake water had completely sobered him up and masked the fever in his body.

Yu Liu was quietly cradled in the palm of a man in black, still somewhat bewildered. She had thought her escape with Du Huai'an would be incredibly difficult, but to her surprise, the now-conscious Du Huai'an simply waved his hand, summoning five or six men in black. Two of them grabbed Chen Jinshu and disappeared, leaving the rest behind.

Yu Liu realized that she had worried for nothing... But then she thought about it, how could the emperor not have people protecting him? She just didn't know why these people hadn't appeared before.

Once the fever subsided, Du Huai'an did not linger at the Prime Minister's residence and returned to the palace with Yu Liu.

Chen Jinshu's disappearance did not cause much of a stir. At first, the Prime Minister did not know what had happened, but after carefully questioning Chen Jinshu's personal maid, he learned the whole story and knew that his daughter would not be coming back.

Attempting to seduce the emperor is a terrible crime; if she succeeds, all will be well, but if she fails, it's a capital offense. I don't know what has bewitched this girl. She was going to enter the palace sooner or later, so she shouldn't be in such a hurry. Yet, she has to fall at this very moment.

Although Du Huai'an was unconscious at the time, he still heard what Chen Jinshu said. He probably felt that there was more to Chen Jinshu's drugging than met the eye, so he ordered a thorough interrogation. Chen Jinshu was a pampered young lady who had never suffered any hardship, so she could not withstand the torture. In just one day, she confessed everything.

Du Huai'an felt it was somewhat surreal after hearing what she said, because Chen Jinshu said she was a reborn person.

In her so-called past life, on the same day as the old lady's birthday banquet, the same scene unfolded, except that Mu Yuanzhan was replaced by Du Huai'an. Mu Yuanzhan did not lead a large group of people to watch. Chen Jinshu said that she felt jealous when she saw that scene, so she drugged "Du Huai'an" and made "Du Huai'an" have a relationship with Chen Qingyan.

What Chen Jinshu said next completely overturned Du Huai'an's expectations.

Du Huai'an actually fell in love with that shallow woman Chen Qingyan. He didn't hesitate to dismiss his harem for her sake, and in the end, he even shared Chen Qingyan with two men. He loved her to death and didn't even care about the country and its people!

How is this possible? It's utterly absurd.

If you replaced Chen Qingyan with Bao Bao, it might be possible... Pshaw, that's not quite right either. How could Bao Bao possibly seduce another man?

However, Chen Jinshu's expression did not seem fake. Her mental world had collapsed, and she spoke frankly and openly, so it was impossible for her to lie.

As for the Prime Minister's later ascension to the throne, that was even more absurd. Power was now basically concentrated in the hands of the Emperor. Although the old Prime Minister had a high position, his power was no greater than mine. How could he possibly have succeeded in usurping the throne? Moreover, the old lady of the Prime Minister's residence was very strict in her upbringing. The Prime Minister, who was over forty years old and had seen all the worldly splendor before ascending the throne, was still blinded by power. This still sounds absurd. But what's even more absurd is that Chen Jinshu actually said that he had met a deity.

A deity? Yu Liu had a vague feeling that she had just realized it. The divine power on Chen Jinshu could not have appeared out of thin air. Someone must have placed it on her. So, it made sense that she had encountered a deity.

"He said his name was Lord Qingyan, and that he had traveled here. He heard that there was a fox spirit named Chen Qingyan who was seducing the emperor, and that the people were talking about it. Hearing his name being cursed by the people made him feel disgusted, so he granted me a second chance at life, as long as I could ruin all of Chen Qingyan's plans. He also said he would give me an aura of charisma to make it easier for me to achieve my goal..."

It turns out that all of this was due to a coincidence. It is true that some idle gods in the God Realm would enter the Three Thousand Minor Worlds, but this is not common. Unexpectedly, she had encountered it herself. Yu Liu was somewhat emotional.

After listening to Chen Jinshu's story, Du Huai'an felt as if he had grasped something. He thought about it for a whole night before finally understanding something.

Yu Liu's appearance was too abrupt. Although it could be explained that she had just developed consciousness in those days, the timing was too coincidental. In addition, Yu Liu's excessive attention to Chen Qingyan and Chen Jinshu made Du Huai'an suspect that Yu Liu was not actually the demon in the jade pendant. She might be like the immortal who suddenly traveled here, coming from who-knows-where. Her purpose here must be because of Chen Qingyan's act of serving three husbands!

It must be said that Du Huai'an's intuition is frighteningly sharp.

However, he said nothing, pretending not to know anything, and his relationship with Yu Liu continued as usual. After several attempts to test the waters and conjecturing that Yu Liu would not disappear even if Chen Qingyan was dealt with, Du Huai'an, who was somewhat hesitant, finally began the cleanup.

Since Chen Qingyan is such an eerie person, then we shouldn't keep her around.

A few days later, Chen Qingyan, who had just broken off her engagement with Yang Zifeng, received an imperial edict ordering her to marry General Mu Yuanzhan immediately. Chen Qingyan did not know the emperor's intentions, but she knew that the emperor had granted her wish. After happily thanking the emperor, Chen Qingyan happily married Mu Yuanzhan.

In her heart, she and Mu Yuanzhan were in love, and their married life should have been as sweet as honey. However, in reality, Mu Yuanzhan's love for her seemed to have evaporated suddenly, and he treated her as a stranger instead of his new wife.

Unable to bear such cold violence, Chen Qingyan ran away from home in a fit of anger to venture into the martial world. However, the martial world was not so easy to navigate. On her first night at an inn, she was taken advantage of by a lecherous thief and brazenly taken back to the Demonic Sect.

Although people in the martial arts world are not controlled by the imperial court, the places they live in are still under the court's control. Therefore, the court still has a say in the martial arts world. It would be very easy for the general to find his runaway wife. In addition, the members of the demonic sect did not conceal their presence, and the general soon learned that Chen Qingyan's virginity had been taken from her.

Du Huai'an also received the news. The incident confirmed that what Chen Jinshu said was true. However, this was different from Chen Jinshu's previous life. In this life, he would not fall in love with Chen Qingyan at all, and naturally, the tragedy of his previous life would not happen. As for his own general, Du Huai'an felt that he could keep an eye on him.
