Feng Qin's voice interrupted, immediately reminding the two women inside where they were.
The two women exchanged a glance and shut their mouths. Cen Xi was already in such a terrible state, and the fact that they could still speak meant that Shen Jinchen didn't have time to deal with them. If he really angered them, they might end up in an even worse situation than Cen Xi.
When Feng Qin saw that her words had worked and the two women inside had shut up, she couldn't help but smile. It seemed that her young master's terrifying power could finally keep these two in check.
Along the way, Shen Jinchen kept reading the secret reports, his expression changing unpredictably. After traveling for two days, they finally settled down in a small town three hundred miles away from the capital.
According to information gathered along the way, the construction project of the Prince Ning's Mansion has now entered the mid-term stage. There are not many troops that can be mobilized in the capital. The Imperial Guards are guarding the palace closely, and the only ones who can stand guard are the people from the Wucheng Military Command. His Majesty has sent several secret memorials, ordering General Zhao Yu of the Cavalry outside the city to bring troops to provide support. However, Zhao Yu is waiting for instructions from someone, so he has not moved yet.
"Young master, what do you think we should do?"
You and Zhao Yu's secret letter were handed to Shen Jinchen for questioning.
"After the Ning Prince's forces breach the city, we will then launch a siege. His Majesty in the palace should be able to hold out for a while."
Shen Jinchen glanced coldly at Youhe, then slowly opened his lips.
"It would be a shame if we didn't take action and seize this great opportunity."
Shen Jinchen's decision was somewhat unexpected.
"With external threats still unresolved, it is not advisable for us to take any action. The current court poses little threat to me, but we must deal with Yan Shengxiao first. This time, we will help Emperor Zhao again."
Shen Jinchen glanced at the room next door and then said calmly.
"Actually, the woman next door to the young master was secretly sent to Yan Shengxiao's side to see what use she could be."
Seeing such a good opportunity, Youhe was indeed somewhat unwilling. In fact, the best way to get rid of Yan Taizu was to talk about that woman next door.
“I’ve crossed the line with you. There are some things that are not your business. She is the future mistress of the house. If you continue to set your sights on her, you should know the consequences.”
As soon as He finished speaking, Shen Jinchen's aura turned icy cold, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Your subordinate admits guilt!"
You and Huoran knelt down on one knee to apologize.
"It's good that you admit your guilt. I don't want to hear any more of you say such things in the future. Now, get out of here!"
Shen Jinchen glanced at him coldly, then slowly got up and went to the next room.
In the next room, Cen Xi struggled to stay upright as she watched Shen Jinchen, that beast in human clothing, slowly approach. In her heart, she cursed him to the core. He was truly something else. From Shangyang City to the capital, he had kept her completely silent. Apart from feeding her, giving her water, and helping her with relieving herself, he had kept her completely confined at all other times.
Cen Xi experienced imprisonment for the first time, but she was helpless and no one could rescue her.
She was a little disappointed for the first time. After leaving the Hidden Sect, he neglected his martial arts training. If her martial arts skills were higher and she could beat this dog, she would definitely kick him half to death before running away.
Not to mention romance; she now finds his previous feelings of attraction and emotion utterly inexplicable.
Maybe she was right before. She was unwilling to accept it and shouldn't have been soft-hearted. This intense feeling of suffocation was too much for her to bear.
"It's lunchtime. There's a really good soup in this town called Flying Dragon Soup. It's said that it was once drunk by the emperors of the Great Qi Dynasty. You should try it today."
Shen Jinchen sat down gracefully, beckoned to the outside, and then two maids brought a bowl of soup and some exquisite dishes to the table.
After everyone had set the table, Shen Jinchen walked to the bedside, scooped up Cen Xi, slowly wiped her hands, and then held her in his arms to feed her.
Cen Xi and Chen Xi's faces could only be described as liver-colored; they had been experiencing this strange feeling all along the way.
She felt that he treated her like a daughter, but she felt that he didn't treat her as his woman at all and didn't give her any respect.
She wasn't hungry today, so she decided to be stubborn with him. No matter how much Shen Jinchen tried to feed her, she gritted her teeth and refused to eat.
She was still staring at him, as if to say, "If you keep me locked up, I'll starve to death."
"Stop fooling around and eat properly. I know you've suffered a lot on your journey. Once we get to the capital, as long as you don't run away, you'll be free."
Shen Jinchen tried to persuade Cen Xi several times, but was met with strong resistance each time, so he switched to coaxing mode.
After coaxing her, seeing that Cen Xi was still clenching her teeth, he threatened her again:
“If you don’t eat, you won’t have anything to eat for the next day. If you continue to do so, I will send those two women who came to save you to the palace as concubines after I return to the capital. I think they will be very happy to do so.”
So Cen Xi had no choice but to accept her fate and eat the best delicacies with a bland taste.
After finishing her meal, she lay on the bed, sighed several times in silence, and then desperately racked her brains, trying to figure out how to cause trouble for that bastard man once she got to the capital.
How about she assassinates the emperor? She beheads him, and he'll be implicated in the crime of treason. He'll be torn apart by five horses, and she can go watch a play instead.
Oh, right, this possessed person seems to be a princess. Why doesn't she go and acknowledge her family, become a princess or something? Then she'll be the ruler, and he'll be the subject.
If he dares to treat her like that again, she'll accuse him of disrespect, throw him in jail, and then tear him apart by five horses, execute him by slow slicing, and so on—she'll subject him to the most severe punishments one by one.
Cen Xi spent the whole afternoon thinking of ways to deal with this man, but in the end she couldn't put it into action. She still had to see him that night, undress, show off his abs in front of her, and seduce her with his good looks.
When the temptation made her thirsty and her nosebleed, the man put on his nightgown and lay down next to her, fast asleep.
She's seen shameless people before, like her former boss. No matter how cunning, ruthless, or vicious you are, she's not afraid of you.
But that scoundrel! She regretted it, what should she do? She really shouldn't have gone to Buddha and scolded those two people so harshly. They were so kind and lovely, they even paid her a salary and gave her money.
If she hadn't harbored so much resentment back then, she wouldn't have been banished by Buddha to this godforsaken place. Being poor at the beginning was one thing, but at least she had the ability to earn money.
Now she just wants to know, what should she do if she encounters a dog like this, a dog that she can't beat, outsmart, or escape from?
Furthermore, even if she manages to escape once, this person will always find a way to find her. How can this deadlock be broken?
Just thinking about it makes me want to go bald!!!
What terrible things did she do in her past life that God would send her to be tormented by such a person?
