Chapter 252 Jiang Shan Sends Him
Shen Wen pointed the handle of the knife towards Chu Yanqiu, which was a gesture for Chu Yanqiu to hold the knife.
When the two of them talked to this point, Shen Wen did not notice that Chu Yanqiu had white hair on his temples and his sharp eyes were more frosty. When he heard Shen Wen say that he would give him a chance to rip out his heart, his eyes were struggling, but he did not retreat a little bit of his coldness.
What Chu Yanqiu hated most in his life was being played around by others.
Seeing him hesitate, Shen Wen laughed at him and said, "It seems you have no guts. Now you are so weak that you want to find someone else to do it for you?"
Chu Yanqiu was not only cold and stern, but also a bit sad. His eyes were misty. He turned his head and looked at Shen Wen and asked, "Why did you leave the palace like this? Is that person willing to let you go?"
Shen Wen didn't soften his heart when he heard his caring words. He glanced at Qingque and sighed, "Since you can't do it, then I will... It's the same if I dig out your heart."
After saying that, she quickly thrust the dagger in her hand and stabbed it towards Chu Yanqiu's chest.
Chu Yanqiu took the blow from him.
The knife pierced into the heart and blood began to flow out slowly. However, the blood did not drip onto the ground. Instead, the half-exposed blade flowed into the knife like a flowing blood vessel.
The blood flowed rapidly, and in a place invisible to the naked eye, a small red worm flowed along the blood and into the knife.
At this time, Chu Yanqiu's personal guard Chi He and others just came over to protect their son. The frightened people surrounded Shen Wen.
Chi He was eager to protect his master, so he pointed the sword in his hand at Shen Wen and said angrily: "If you dare to kill our young master, I will kill you."
While he was making threats, a secret guard had already attacked Shen Wen and raised his palm to chop at Shen Wen.
Chu Yanqiu endured the severe pain and growled, "Don't touch him."
Shen Wen's hand holding the knife began to tremble. He had never removed the heart from a living person before, and the knife he just inserted only penetrated half a centimeter into the heart. He looked at the knife in his hand, feeling extremely difficult.
Shen Wen stared at Chu Yanqiu and asked, "Why do you ask someone to dig out my heart just because you don't want to play this game anymore? Why can't I dig out your heart instead? Tell me clearly today, is it possible that I used Qingque to plant that damn poisonous insect in your body? Why do you look like a victim?"
The blood was still flowing out of Chu Yanqiu's heart. His mind became blurred. He knew that if more blood was drawn, he would die of blood loss. He endured the great pain, grabbed Shen Wen's hand, and pulled out the knife.
After pulling out the knife, Shen Wen realized that something was wrong with the knife. He looked down at the knife and found that it had turned into a vine. The vine seemed to be alive. It changed into its true form and immediately slipped out of Shen Wen's hand and returned to the tree.
Shen Wenjue felt a dull pain in his chest and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood on the ground. A small insect was wriggling in the large pool of blood.
Shen Wen smiled as soon as he saw it. He looked at Chu Yanqiu and said, "That's good. Congratulations. The poison that had been placed on us has been cured."
Chu Yanqiu fainted after a dizzy spell. Chi He and the others panicked and didn't care about anything else. They carried Chu Yanqiu away and went to find a doctor for rescue.
Shen Wen left Taohuazhai with Qingque, who seemed to have lost his soul. Not long after, he was met by Li Fengnan, who came and brought him back to the three houses.
At this time, Lord Shen heard that Shen Wen was not only sent out of the palace, but also appointed by the emperor as a guard at Caishikou. This guard had special privileges, and Lord Shen's face became more and more ugly. In anger, he slapped the teacup on the table, swept it to the ground, and smashed it to pieces.
Master Shen was so frightened that he dared not breathe. After waiting for a while, he dared to go over and persuade him, "Father, calm down, father, calm down... I have long said that Shen Wen is a hopeless person. We have sent him to the sky, but he can't even reach the edge of the sky. He let such a great blessing pass by like this. He is really a useless waste."
Lord Shen spat at Master Shen and said, "You know nothing. He has been harboring evil intentions for a long time. Can't you see it? The emperor wants to put him in the court as a favorite minister. Isn't he useless? He is very capable. Believe it or not, in a short time, his official rank will surpass yours."
Master Shen was spat at, and he touched his cheek, thinking for a while with his eyes gurgling, "Then father... don't be so angry, his surname is Shen, isn't it a good thing to be a close minister of the emperor? Our Shen family will avoid bad luck in the capital, father didn't see it, those power-hungry people think that our family is unlucky because of a low-ranking official, and they all come to give us a bad look."
This time, Lord Shen was pissed off by Master Shen, and his face turned red with anger.
Lord Shen pointed at Master Shen, panting for a long time before calming down and said, "You idiot, why did I give birth to a son like you? Why don't you think about it? He has always been at odds with our family. You insulted him like that and sold him out, causing him to suffer outside. He hated the Shen family at first sight. I was sure to send him to the palace because I had the means to control him. As long as he was in that position in the harem, he would have no ambition and could only cling to the emperor's pillow as a favorite concubine. The harem is a treacherous and changeable place. Although he has some thoughts, he is kind-hearted and soft-hearted. He can only do what he can to cope with it, and he can't make any big waves. Now that he has been asked to leave the harem, and he has persuaded the emperor to put him in the former dynasty, and our family happened to lose power and was suppressed and unable to turn over, he will soon target our Shen family. You! And your nephews and sons, just wait for his revenge."
Master Shen's face changed drastically when he thought of this. He said, "This is not good! This... This is probably what the emperor wants. The emperor has been planning to destroy our Shen family! Father! Please think about what we should do."
Lord Shen said, "Now that he has become the emperor's sword, so what? The little emperor is still too young. Does he think he can really sit firmly in the court now?"
Master Shen blinked his eyes, and finally realized that a smart Shen Wen was not scary, but the person who used him as a knife was powerful. Master Shen understood his father better. The Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues that he taught before were just the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues. If people really followed these rules, how could they be such a talented and wise man like his father?
The next day, Lord Shen sent someone to deliver a letter to the Rui Palace. Soon after, the Rui Palace replied, and he took a sedan chair to the Rui Palace, using the excuse that the princess's granddaughter was ill.
Lord Shen entered the palace and met Lord Rui. The two of them sat there for a long time, chatting about this and that, appreciating the flowers and the scenery, before finally getting to the point.
Lord Shen first bowed to the Rui Palace and apologized, "The matter in the palace was caused by my granddaughter Shen Shuyi who acted on her own. It is my fault that the prince was implicated. I apologize for my crime."
Prince Rui raised his eyebrows, took a sip of the wine in his hand and said, "Master Shen, we are not stupid, but the grandchildren we taught are too inhuman. Such descendants have implicated you, Master Shen. You are really unfilial descendants."
Old Master Shen shook his head in shame and said, "The Prince's house is quiet and peaceful, so he doesn't understand the troubles of having too many children and grandchildren. Take my little Seventeen, who I raised by my side, for example. I also taught him to be a gentleman and a pillar of society, but I didn't know that he was... a lowly embryo who relied on others and was used to using his appearance to get things done. First, there were the three brothers of the Ji family, and then once he entered the palace, he became extremely ambitious. The Prince must have heard about it. Now he has become a favorite of the Emperor, but he is a very bad person. If such a person stirs up trouble in the court, I am afraid that the people of the world will suffer."
Prince Rui put down his wine glass and tapped his fingers on the table. He asked, "Did Lord Shen come here just to say bad things about your bastard grandson?"
Only then did Mr. Shen realize that his words were too sharp and that he had gone too far in his criticism of Shen Wen.
Prince Rui approached Old Master Shen and said, "It's time to get to the point now, let's just talk it out. Drunken Marrow and Phantom Bones..."
Prince Rui stopped there.
Old Master Shen said, "The prince secretly got such a good treasure through my granddaughter, but I didn't realize it. I'm old."
Then he said, "Since this treasure is used by the prince, I'm afraid the prince will benefit greatly from it, right?"
Prince Rui just thought it was a compliment and smiled with great joy. He said, "Not bad. For the sake of this treasure, I will make a promise to Lord Shen in the future. If Lord Shen encounters trouble in the future, I will help him once."
Old Master Shen nodded and smiled. He said, "Thank you, Your Highness. Now that I have said so much, I will not hide it from Your Highness. Your Highness, do you know who my seventeenth grandson is? He is the descendant of Concubine Xianrou. I have lived for decades. Every time I think of the immortals of Concubine Xianrou's family, they were all abducted by the late emperor. That ruined the immortals' cultivation! Things in the world are always causal and revengeful. As the blood of the dynasty, Your Highness, aren't you afraid?"
Prince Rui asked, "What does Lord Shen want to say? Do you want to say that the immortal bloodline will one day destroy our entire dynasty?"
Lord Shen hurriedly pretended to wipe the sweat off his face.
Prince Rui said: "Lord Shen has said that karma will prevail. Since he wants my royal hegemony, I can't stop him. I will give it to him."
After hearing this, Mr. Shen opened his cloudy eyes and looked at Prince Rui, trying to see how true what he said was.
Prince Rui said, "In the current situation, the emperor is like that, and there is no child in the harem. He is no different from the eunuch Guo who serves him personally. There is only one child born by your granddaughter in my mansion. Why didn't I worry about what Lord Shen worries about? In this case, it is better to give the throne to the immortal bloodline. You also said that your grandson is a reversed yin and yang. This is just like an emperor and empress couple, but the empress is in charge of the front dynasty, and the emperor lives in the harem. It is also possible."
Lord Shen was shocked by his words. It was simply inhumane and he was simply a madman.
