The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 229 Tell me, who is the master behind them?

Shen Wen said to Lord Shen, "Since I lost Zhi Nuan, a loyal servant who protected the master, I feel uneasy day and night. Grandfather must find me a maid as capable as her."

Lord Shen agreed, "Isn't this simple? Isn't it just a loyal maid? You can pick any of the maids in our mansion."

Shen Wen said: "Zhi Nuan is not only loyal, she is also a maid who knows kung fu and is extremely intelligent."

Lord Shen looked embarrassed.

Shen Wen said, "How about this, let's ask Brother Luan to accompany me. Although Brother Luan doesn't know martial arts, he is smart. The important thing is that I feel at ease when he accompanies me. If it were someone else, I would feel uneasy."

When Shen Shuyu was suddenly mentioned by Shen Wen, her gentle and elegant smile froze instantly.

Shen Wen smiled at Shen Shuyu and said, "Second Brother Luan is the best person I have ever met. Whenever I see him, I feel at ease. Second Brother Luan likes me too, right? Can you please bear with it for two days and take care of me in person? In a few days, Grandfather will definitely find a girl like Zhinuan to accompany me, right, Grandfather?"

As Shen Wen said this, he looked at Lord Shen confidently.

He looks like a naive and self-righteous young man from a rich family!

Lord Shen thought to himself with a faint smile on his face.

Shen Shuyu looked at Lord Shen and said in embarrassment: "Lord, this is inappropriate, does it mean that I have to follow my Seventeenth Brother into the palace?"

Lord Shen said, "It's okay. Just go for a day. It's good to go to a place like the palace to see the world. Your seventeenth brother has been timid since he was a child. Since he wants you to accompany him, then you can go."

Shen Shuyu agreed.

Shen Wen had lunch at Lord Shen's place, and then took Shen Shuyu back to his own courtyard. Shen Wen called Xiao Quanzi over, pointed at Shen Shuyu and said to him, "Look! Your favorite beauty! Now she's going to live with me. Do you like this?"

Xiao Quanzi, a wooden man, was like other well-mannered palace eunuchs. He took Shen Shuyu's hand affectionately, stroked her smooth skin and said, "What a lovely girl. You can get closer to the beautiful young master in the future."

Um? ?

No joy, no lust? It's just weird and cruel.

Shen Wen looked at Xiao Quanzi's eyes and couldn't figure out what he was thinking. But he was sure that this man was less focused on his own purpose than Shen Shuyu. He was sure that Xiao Quanzi was coming for Shen Shuyu.

If it is really the person Shen Wen guessed, this opportunity to have him by my side is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

After the trip to the palace, he had to go to Hongwan Mountain again. If that Mr. Qiushui was really a modern person, and someone he had fought against in modern times, then the disaster of the snake attached to the bones would not only not end, but would probably become even more terrible.

An hour later, a messenger from the palace came with news, and Miss Shen Ba's sedan chair set off to leave the Shen Mansion.

Shen Wen also rode in a sedan chair, followed by Shen Shuyu, Xiao Quanzi and several servants. They followed behind in a mighty procession, and soon arrived outside the north gate of the imperial palace.

There were already eunuchs standing at the palace gate to welcome them, and behind them were two elderly maids, who seemed to be the teaching maids who taught the palace rules.

Shen Shuxian got off the carriage and followed the palace servants with her two personal maids.

Shen Wen talked with the two eunuchs who had greeted him earlier, and naturally gave them money and silk as gifts. Of course, he also made some excuses to attract customers.

The two eunuchs and palace maids accepted the benefits, and their faces were obviously very happy. One of them smiled and said, "When the daughter of an official is sent to the palace, this is the routine rule. We also know what you need to take care of in the future. Does the young master know any palace maids? We will do you a favor and take you to see them in person."

The other one was displeased because he had snatched the opportunity to show goodwill. He nudged the eunuch with his elbow and said, "What do you know? This is the son of the Shen family, a relative of the former Concubine Shen. Now another daughter of the Shen family has entered the palace and received a title, which shows that the emperor has not forgotten the old favor. Although Concubine Shen is temporarily in the cold palace, it is unknown when she will be favored again. I think this young master of the Shen family wants to arrange for the messengers in the cold palace, right? Young master! You should follow me. I will take you directly to the vicinity of the cold palace. I am familiar with a few of the palace guards who guard the cold palace. I will help you make connections and guarantee that you, young master, can get this done."

As the eunuch spoke, he put his boneless fingers around Shen Wen's hand and wanted to take him away.

Shen Wen pretended to be a coward who had never seen the world. He was afraid of the royal majesty and dared not doubt or refuse. He was at a loss and had to look back at Xiao Quanzi and Shen Shuyu.

Xiao Quanzi acted like a silent background wall, lowering his head and completely ignoring everything.

Shen Shuyu still remembered the instructions of Lord Shen, and he quickly stopped him, saying, "Eunuch! My son wants to see Lord Shen Jieting of the Hanlin Academy first. Lord Shen is now in the imperial court. He accompanies the emperor to finish his official business at this time every day, and then leaves from the north gate. Eunuch, you should have heard of this person, right? If you are interested, can you pass a message to him for us? Ask why we didn't see him at the agreed time? If he is on a royal errand, we can't wait any longer, so we have to go back home."

The eunuch suddenly realized, "Oh! Is that so? We are servants of the harem, and what happens in front of the emperor is the business of the former dynasty. We can't break the rules and go to the former dynasty to make trouble. If we are not careful, we will lose our heads. This... there is nothing we can do."

The other eunuch said, "Oh! It's Lord Shen Jieting! He didn't see this Lord, but I did. Lord Shen was waiting for someone here before, but was later called away by a young eunuch from the previous dynasty. I guess His Majesty summoned him temporarily. Oh, what a coincidence. But young master, you came here with great difficulty. If you leave like this, you will have a hard time explaining yourself when you go home, right? Why don't you listen to us? We will take you to the cold palace or the teaching palace to make arrangements. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Shen Wen looked at the eunuch twice more.

Unexpectedly, the eunuch was impatient. He grabbed Shen Wen and led him to the alleys of the palace, saying, "Oh! You are such a rookie who knows nothing. If it were anyone else, I would never be so kind as to personally take you to do this."

Another eunuch hurriedly followed their footsteps, walking side by side with them, not one step behind or ahead. Only Shen Shuyu and Xiao Quanzi were left behind, following closely.

They walked for a long time along the alleys of the palace, and turned through a small door into another alley. That alley was even more desolate, and not even a eunuch or palace maid passed by.

Shen Wen was walking forward closely followed by the two eunuchs. Suddenly, he turned around and asked Xiao Quanzi, "Hey! I say! You told me yesterday that there were bugs in your ring. Those bugs love to get into people's bodies. Is that true?"

Xiao Quanzi quickly looked up at Shen Wen and said, "Yes, it's true. I did say that."

Shen Wen stopped and said to the two eunuchs, "This is a new thing. Do you think it's true? Why don't we take a look at his ring to see if there are any bugs coming out of it? I don't believe it. How can a broken copper and iron ring produce bugs like flesh and blood?"

Then he left the two eunuchs and walked towards Xiao Quanzi in a dignified manner.

Shen Wen took two steps forward, then suddenly turned around and attacked the two eunuchs, hitting them in the stomach with his hard fists and kicking them twice.

The two eunuchs were knocked to the ground.

Shen Wen sat on one of the eunuchs and reached out to grab the ear of another eunuch, who cried out "ouch" in pain.

Shen Shuyu was frightened by his outrageous behavior and was at a loss what to do. He said, "Seventeenth brother, let me go quickly. This is not appropriate!"

Shen Wen ignored him. He pulled the eunuch's ear and asked him, "As soon as I entered the palace, you couldn't wait to pull me into the pit. Tell me, who is it that wants to fight me?"

The young eunuch grimaced in pain and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."

Shen Wen waved the ring in his hand in front of the young eunuch.

Xiao Quanzi, who was standing by, couldn't help but twitch when he saw the ring in his hand!

I don't know when this ancestor stole the ring on his finger and put it into his own hand.

Shen Wen said to the stubborn eunuch, "See it, right? The bug in the ring is probably too small. I have watched it for a long time with my naked eyes but I can't see it move. I think it would be better if I cut a hole in your body and put the bug in the ring. I want to verify whether there is a bug in the ring."

After he finished speaking, Xiao Quanzi immediately said, "Sir, you can't do that! The bugs in this ring suck human blood the most. They will crawl into the body through the wound, crawl into the internal organs, and then eat the internal organs."

The eunuch heard Xiao Quanzi's description and probably imagined the scene. He was so scared that he shouted, "Hurry up! Come out! I've brought the man in. Hurry up and catch him!"

After a loud roar, hurried footsteps were heard not far away. Soon, seven or eight young eunuchs came running from both ends of the alley and attacked Shen Wen and his men from the front and back.

The leading eunuch looked at Shen Wen with contempt and said, "What a fearless fellow! Once he enters our territory, who can escape from our grasp?"

However, when the eunuchs' gaze left Shen Wen and turned to look at Xiao Quanzi again, a look of fear appeared on each of their faces. Although it was fleeting, Shen Wen caught it.

Shen Wen brought hidden weapons this time. Before entering the palace, he picked out a spy weapon in the space armory. It was a wristwatch that could only fire anesthetic needles. There were more than a hundred bee tail needles hidden inside. He felt that the bee tail needles were more suitable in a place like the palace. Even if the evidence was checked, it would not be easy to be discovered.

Shen Wen took advantage of the bee tail sting to anesthetize people and easily knocked down seven or eight eunuchs.

He walked past the trembling Shen Shuyu, approached Xiao Quanzi and asked, "It seems that they know you. Tell me, who is the master behind them?"
