If that's the case, Cen Xi found it quite funny. So this is how fate came about. There was a sense of something indescribable about it.
"Sigh! She still got away, Ah Xi. She might come looking for you again. We need to be careful when we get back to the capital."
Now that things had come to this, Shen Jinchen sighed deeply. That person was like an unkillable cockroach, always stirring up trouble behind the scenes, which left him speechless.
"There's no such thing as a thief who's been stealing for a thousand days, let alone a thief who's been guarding against thieves for a thousand days. Shen Jinchen, tell me, do we have any way to completely kill this person, like sending his soul to the underworld to be reincarnated as soon as possible?"
Cen Xi knew she had to be careful, but there was always a sword hanging over her head, which really annoyed her. In the past, when she tried to take action, she never managed to catch anyone, and she didn't know why the other party was so afraid of her. Now that she knew, she also knew that the other party could use the Soul Separation Technique. She was speechless. What kind of world was this?
Could it be a fantasy world?
And finally, they want to add some kind of cultivation or immortality thing?
That's unbelievable!
“I understand what you mean. Come back to the capital with me first. We’ll deal with the War of the Eight Princes, and then we’ll make a trip to Miao territory. These forbidden techniques all originated from Miao territory. To figure them out, we have to find them at their source.”
Shen Jinchen's gaze was deep, and he met Cen Xi's eyes for a moment.
"Alright! This Xiao Qiliang isn't a good person either. Interrogate him properly, and kill him after you get some useful information out of him. Keeping him alive will only waste food."
Cen Xi looked at Xiao Qiliang, who was wrapped in cloth, and harbored thoughts of revenge. She still remembered the plague in Shangyang City.
"We dare not disobey the lady's orders. Let's go. You must be tired after standing for so long. Take good care of yourself and we'll return to the capital once you've recovered."
Shen Jinchen gave a wink to the guard at the door, then put his arm around Cen Xi's waist and left the woodshed.
Ten days later, Shen Jinchen led most of his men towards the capital.
After Cen Xi and Shen Jinchen went to the woodshed that day, Zeng Jingcheng's men found out a lot of things.
It turns out that Yan Shengxiao has another identity. In addition to being the Prince of Ning, he is also the Prince of Lingshan.
The War of the Eight Princes, which led to the siege of the capital, was also orchestrated by this man behind the scenes in the name of the imperial court.
The goal, of course, is to seize the throne again.
When Shen Jinchen and Chen Xi said these words, she couldn't help but sigh. Power really can be blinding. Two lifetimes later, the other party is still obsessed with such things. It can only be said that desire never ends.
What happened next was simple. The people that Shen Jinchen trained also came from something left behind by a master of the Hidden Sect. The King of Lingshan was covered in blood. If not seven or eight out of ten of the enemy's assassins were killed, at least half of them were killed.
However, Yan Shengxiao is a cunning person. Presumably, when his soul left his body, he immediately notified his most elite assassins to leave.
But this time there was actually some gain; at least one thing was confirmed: why Yan Shengxiao was so wary of Cen Xi.
At the same time, most of the forces in Lingshan no longer had the strength they once possessed, even though Yan Shengxiao had escaped.
When they returned to the capital, Jun Jianchou did not leave, even though his abilities were slightly inferior to Shen Jinchen's.
This is also a prodigy, not to be underestimated.
He volunteered to go back, intending to be the general at the grand banquet and protect everything Cen Xi wanted to protect.
Cen Xi wanted to speak up and stop him several times, but he had done so much before to no avail, so she lost confidence this time.
Fine, let them follow if they want.
Since she couldn't respond, the other party knew this and had emphasized it many times, but still made this choice, so she had no reason to stop them.
As for what Zhu Yanniang said, she wouldn't interfere in the slightest unless Zhu Yanniang said it herself.
Even if she felt that Zhu Yanniang was not good enough for Jun Jianchou, she would not deprive the other party of her freedom to like someone else, because that was someone else's business, and it would be inappropriate for her to interfere.
Jun Xiaoqiao has been recovering well for the past ten days or so. Zhu Yanniang takes her pulse every day. Jun Xiaoqiao still wants to secretly ask Zhu Yanniang for abortion medicine, but Zhu Yanniang ignores her and prescribes medicine to prevent miscarriage according to Wen Qiheng's request.
She was speechless and could only silently accept it.
She thought, even if she gave birth to the child after arriving in the capital, what difference would it make? If she was determined to run away, who could stop her?
As for the other pregnant women that Yan Shengxiao had found, Shen Jinchen had arranged for them to be sent away five days ago.
...
The mansion of General Shen in the capital has been quite lively these past few days. General Shen suddenly announced to the world that he no longer wanted the concubines in the mansion and wanted to live a solitary life.
In the past few days, Shen Youji has given each of his concubines and maids a bag of silver coins and told them to leave on their own, including the women who have borne him children.
His actions suggest he's determined to drive all the women out of the Shen household.
At the same time, he also publicized in the capital that he was going to marry off his daughter.
Right now, the emperor in the palace has lost power, and the officials in the capital see that even the vassal kings outside have not fared well, all of them trapped in Shen Jinchen's eight formations. They don't know who to turn to.
So they once again became opportunists, constantly trying to please the future emperor's adoptive father. As a result, the Shen family's daughters were quickly settled. In just one month, they were all in good hands, and even the three-year-old daughter was betrothed.
Shen Qinghua and Shen Qingying, the two most favored daughters of the Shen family, were unsurprisingly betrothed.
Shinobu Yuki wasn't a heartless man; he made sure these women received a share of the family fortune when they left.
Shen Qinghua's aunt was no exception. She used to be the most favored person. She believed that after all these years, the position of Lady of the Shen family was definitely hers. She even thought that after her daughter became the Empress, she could become a first-rank imperial lady.
That's naive. Men's affections come and go quickly. Even if she was favored before, what difference did it make?
She'll end up like all the other concubines, kicked out of the house.
Shen Qinghua also kept silent at home. When she first heard the news, she smashed a lot of things in the house, but what good did it do?
Without even discussing it with her, her father married her off to the son of Li Taifu.
The Ji Changming she was eagerly awaiting would only protect Shen Jinchen. He wouldn't say a good word for any woman Shen Jinchen didn't like.
It's ridiculous. She used to hold herself to high standards as a future empress, but now she realizes that she's nothing more than a tool for marriage alliance in her father's hands.
Why couldn't she come out of Ji Yuhua's womb? Why didn't her father and Ji Yuhua have an affair?
If there's an affair, it would be so nice for her to be an illegitimate daughter.
At least she's still Shen Jinchen's younger sister. If his younger sister is a bit willful, he should be able to tolerate her a little.
If he becomes emperor, she will be a princess. Even if she doesn't marry, she will still have power. Why would those stinky men have the right to choose her?
