Bloody Kyoto

The palace maid could no longer bear it, and she stood up abruptly, ready to run out.

After running only two steps, he was bound by vines.

"Let me go, let me go, you freak."

Li Nanle walked up to her, raised his hand and gently tore off a human skin mask.

She toyed with the human skin mask in her hand and chuckled, "Consort Shu, your disguise is too inadequate. You only cared about your face and neglected your hands."

Consort Shu subconsciously looked at her hands, and the marks from the nail guards on her fingers made her head spin.

Is she going to lose her life because of such a small oversight?

No! She doesn't want to die!

"Please let me go. I have a child. A child without a mother will be bullied in the palace."

“Your child must have drunk Yunxia’s blood too!” Li Nanle said calmly, showing no empathy for what she was saying.

Consort Shu shook her head frantically, "No, no, Yao'er didn't drink, she didn't drink! Please spare her, she's just a child..."

Before she could finish saying the word "zi," she vanished from the spot.

As Li Nanle walked to the door, she saw two young eunuchs still kneeling with their heads bowed, and she stopped in her tracks.

"Are you from this palace?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Immortal, we were transferred here temporarily."

The young eunuch, unsure how to address the otherworldly being before him, quickly came up with a better way to address him.

Another eunuch nodded in agreement, "The eunuchs who were originally supposed to be in this hall were feigning illness and wouldn't come, so they pushed us here instead."

Li Nanle remained silent for a few breaths, then suddenly struck and knocked the two unconscious before entering her spatial dimension.

As soon as she entered the space, she heard the sound of containers being pounded. She took out a puppet incense stick and went inside.

Upon seeing Li Nanle, Consort Shu stopped patting and knelt down before her.

"Please let me go! I didn't want to. It was Consort Hui... it was Zhou Liu who told me about Huo Yunxia."

Li Nanle ignored her, lit the puppet incense, and went out again.

The emperor also learned of what had happened in Consort Shu's palace, but he showed no anger. He simply ordered the chief eunuch to go and see for himself.

The head eunuch who led the men to Consort Shu's residence was utterly despondent.

He deliberately broke an ornament that the emperor liked and was not punished.

He deliberately served the emperor cold tea, yet he still escaped punishment.

He deliberately spilled ink all over the desk, yet he was still not punished.

It's hard for others to climb up, but it's just so hard for him to fall down.

A group of trembling people arrived at Consort Shu's place and the first thing they saw was two eunuchs lying at the door.

After someone checked on them, they found that the two had just fainted and breathed a sigh of relief, while giving Li Nan a "good guy" card.

This otherworldly being still has some principles; he doesn't indiscriminately kill innocent people.

With a slightly relieved feeling, I pushed open the palace door, only to be met with a strong smell of blood.

My heart, which had just relaxed, immediately jumped again.

"Godfather, what's in here..."

The head eunuch hissed in a low voice, "What do you mean by 'inside'? Go in and take a look."

He appeared fearless, but his trembling legs betrayed him.

The young eunuch rolled his eyes and, suppressing his fear, led the way inside.

"Ah ah ah..."

"Corpse!"

"What are you yelling about? It's just a corpse. Haven't we seen plenty lately?"

The chief eunuch forced himself to remain calm and walked to the body to examine it. Although he couldn't recall the deceased's name, his face was familiar.

"Keep going in," he instructed, covering his nose with a handkerchief; he certainly didn't want to walk in front.

The other eunuchs dared not object, and carefully walked with their lanterns, making no sound whatsoever, as if making any noise would attract a monster.

After a tense inspection, the group found no body of Consort Shu and did not pay much attention to it.

That otherworldly being killed repeatedly by taking the victims away to torture them before unexpectedly dumping the bodies.

The body of Consort Shu will probably appear early tomorrow morning.

As Consort Shu continued to scream, she gradually became drowsy until she completely lost consciousness.

Li Nanle walked in, woke her up, and started asking her questions.

"What were your and the Wu family's main roles in the Huo Yunxia incident?"

Consort Shu: "Father personally cut off a piece of Huo Yunxia's flesh."

Li Nanle's eyes narrowed. "He asked for it himself?"

Consort Shu: "No, it was Zheng Jiaojiao who requested it. She said she wouldn't feel at ease if I wasn't directly involved."

"So your entire Wu family consumed Huo Yunxia's flesh and blood?"

Consort Shu: "No, after Zhou Liu told me about Huo Yunxia, ​​I didn't think much of it and told my family. As a result, my father was furious when he heard about it and pointed at me, calling me a scourge."

"Only then did I belatedly realize that I had harmed my family. In this kind of matter, especially after the Emperor was involved, it was no longer something you could simply choose not to participate in."

"For the safety of his family, my father had no choice but to participate."

"But only Huo Yunxia's seriously ill grandmother drank her blood and flesh; the rest of the family not only did not drink it, but were completely unaware of it."

Hearing this, Li Nanle was very surprised. It turned out that the Wu family had been forced to participate.

Then, as if remembering something, she asked again, "Did your daughter drink blood?"

"She drank it. Zhou Liu persuaded her to drink it when she had a persistent high fever."

There were no more questions to ask, so Li Nanle stepped out of the container.

Some people are pitiable, while others are utterly despicable.

Consort Shu was an extremely despicable person.

When she first heard it, she didn't find it cruel or against the natural order.

Instead, she excitedly told her family about it.

This shows how evil his heart was.

Everyone in the Fu family was terrified by the tragic death of Old Madam Fu; the only one who could still pull himself together was Fu Cheng.

He tried his best to stay alert and find out who sent the group of men in black, believing that they were the ones who killed his mother.

He first ruled out otherworldly beings, because, as far as he knew, they used vines to kill people and always acted alone.

He then ruled out the Fu family's enemies, believing that none of them would dare to seek revenge against the Fu family.

Finally, he set his sights on the Wu family, which was the maternal family of Grand Tutor Fu's first wife, Fu Yanji's maternal family.

The reason he was so certain was because his mother's death was so gruesome that no one but the Wu family could hate her so much.

But, are there still any members of the Wu family?

Thinking about it, he went to Grand Tutor Fu's house to inquire. When he heard that his son suspected the Wu family, Grand Tutor Fu's eyes became complicated.

“Cheng’er, it can’t be the Wu family. The reason the Wu family sought a son-in-law back then was because they had no relatives and couldn’t even find a nephew or niece to adopt.”

Upon hearing this, Fu Cheng fell silent, his eyes turning unusually dangerous.

"If what Father said is true, then there is only one suspect."

Grand Tutor Fu sensed something was wrong upon hearing this and asked tremblingly, "Who?"

"Third brother!"

Upon hearing this answer, Grand Tutor Fu felt as if all his strength had been drained away, and his eyes became unfocused.

He seemed to remember something and hurriedly said, "But Yan Ji doesn't have any manpower, otherwise he wouldn't have let us kill Huo Yunxia."

“He has it!” Fu Cheng walked to the window with his hands behind his back, looked at the gloomy sky outside, and said a name, “Zheng Jiaojiao.”

Grand Tutor Fu closed his eyes weakly, knowing that Fu Cheng's guess was likely correct.

At this moment, he was filled with regret, realizing that he shouldn't have forced the child back just because he had few offspring.

This isn't a son, he's practically a vengeful ghost demanding repayment of debts.

Fu Cheng turned around, walked to the bedside and sat down, carefully tucking the blanket around him. "Father, take care of yourself. Your son won't let Mother die such a miserable death."

What he meant was that he was about to turn his brothers against each other, and you shouldn't interfere.

Grand Tutor Fu understood what he meant. He himself was already regretting it, so he gave a soft "hmm" in response.
