Chapter 49: No Blood, No Success
Shen Ningyuan walked out of Lin'an Palace alive, some people were happy and some were sad.
"What did you say? Shen Ningyuan came out of Lin'an Palace alive?"
After hearing what the palace maid said, He Yunshu was so shocked that she stood up from the chaise longue and stared at the other person in disbelief.
"Did you see it wrong? How could Chen Ningyuan walk out of Lin'an Palace alive? Didn't that lunatic Xie Wanzhou hack her to death?"
He Yunshu didn't believe at all that Shen Ningyuan could survive Xie Wanzhou's hands.
When she first led Shen Ningyuan to Lin'an Palace, she was certain that Xie Wanzhou would chop off her head.
After all, many people have died at the hands of Xie Wanzhou over the years.
Seeing that He Yunshu didn't believe it, the palace servant who delivered the message hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I am absolutely not mistaken. It was Concubine Ying who brought people to Lin'an Palace to pick her up. I estimate that they are already outside the palace gate now!"
"Damn it!" He Yunshu was furious.
Ten years ago, I was scolded by Cui Jin and cried.
Ten years later, he was forced to move out of the Pepper Palace by Cui Jin's daughter.
She was the queen, but she fell into the hands of this mother and daughter twice in a row!
How pathetic!
Thinking of this, He Yunshu became so angry that her head felt dizzy, and she leaned on her sunscreen to sit on the chaise longue.
"Are you going to let this mother and daughter bully me?" He Yunshu gritted her teeth and said, "I will never allow this mother and daughter to bully me!"
As she spoke, He Yunshu looked at Wen Ying and said in a cold voice, "Do you have a way to deal with Shen Ningyuan for me?"
Wen Ying paused and asked, "Are you planning to let Cui Jin go?"
"Of course not!" He Yunshu said with a sinister look, "Do you know what it means to kill someone and destroy their heart?"
He Yunshu said to herself: "I want Cui Jin to be in agony, so I just need to attack Shen Ningyuan. Mother and daughter are connected by heart, and if she sees her daughter not living well, she will definitely feel worse than death!"
Wen Ying nodded, "Your Majesty is right."
"Do you have any idea?"
"Yes." Wen Ying nodded.
"Hurry up and tell me!"
"Your Majesty, you don't have to do anything. Judging from the attitude of the Ji family today, I found that everyone in the Ji family wanted to kill Shen Ningyuan." Wen Ying analyzed slowly: "Before Ji Yunchuan's seventh day, Shen Ningyuan must return to the Ji family."
"We just need to provide some help to the Ji family, let them deal with Shen Ningyuan, severely waste her and trample her. In this way, no matter how Shen Ningyuan died in the end, it will not be traced to the queen!"
“By that time, the Queen can even come forward and throw dirty water on Shen Ningyuan, making the Shen family restless, killing two birds with one stone!”
He Yunshu's eyes lit up and she no longer felt dizzy.
Looking up at Wen Ying, "You are right. Once Chen Ningyuan returns to the Ji family, it is like a snake entering a wolf's den. She will lose her skin if she doesn't die!"
“You keep an eye on this matter, and you must find a way to get Shen Ningyuan to go back to the Ji family!”
"Yes, your majesty!" Wen Ying responded.
He Yunshu looked outside the palace gate and narrowed her eyes slightly.
Cui Jin, just wait and see, I will not let you have an easy time!
-
At this time, Shen Ningyuan was sitting in the Song family's carriage with a cold expression.
After a while, Shen Ningyuan lowered his head and looked at his right hand, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
She killed someone today.
This was the first time she had killed someone in her two lives.
Moreover, the murder took place in the current queen's Pepper Palace.
Before this, Shen Ningyuan always believed that killing was a terrible thing.
But today, when she killed Lin Shu, she felt that it was no different from killing a chicken.
After the hairpin penetrates the neck, a slight twist can easily take a life.
In her previous life, when the Ji family was plotting her life, did they also treat her like an animal?
But, it doesn’t matter anymore.
Because at this moment, Shen Ningyuan clearly realized that if she wanted to protect herself and the Shen family, she would kill more people in the future.
Thinking about it, Shen Ningyuan clenched his right hand, his eyes revealing determination.
"Yuan'er!"
At this time, urgent shouts came from outside the carriage.
He pulled Shen Ningyuan out of her trance all at once.
"Mother?" Shen Ningyuan called out in a trance.
He hurriedly pulled open the curtain of the carriage and looked outside.
Then she saw her mother Cui Jin riding a tall horse and galloping towards them at a very fast speed.
When she saw the carriage curtain being lifted and confirmed that the person inside was Shen Ningyuan, Cui Jin became even more anxious.
He suddenly kicked the horse's belly and headed towards Shen Ningyuan.
When they arrived in front of the carriage, Cui Jin tightened the reins, and the horse neighed and stopped quickly in front of the carriage.
Cui Jin turned over and got off the horse with clean and neat movements.
After getting off the horse and standing firmly, he ran towards Shen Ningyuan, "Yuan'er, are you okay?"
Shen Ningyuan shook her head, "Mom, I'm fine."
Cui Jin looked Shen Ningyuan up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that she was really okay.
"Yuan'er, your sister-in-law sent someone to inform us. We already know what happened in the palace. It was mother who implicated you!"
At this point, Cui Jin was frightened and said angrily, "I know the queen hates me, but mother never thought that she would hate me to this extent and take revenge on you for all this."
"She wants to kill you!"
Cui Jin shouted angrily.
She really didn’t expect that the queen would be so vicious as to lure Shen Ningyuan to Lin’an Palace.
He attempted to have that madman Xie Wanzhou hack Shen Ningyuan to death with a knife.
She was almost left with only Shen Ningyuan’s body!
Cui Jin's eyes were filled with tears. She held Shen Ningyuan's hand tightly and said firmly, "Yuan'er, don't worry. Mother will never let you enter the palace again. Mother will never let the queen hurt you again!"
Compared to Cui Jin's nervousness, Shen Ningyuan seemed very calm.
She held Cui Jin's hand and comforted her softly, "Mom, this is not your fault."
"Look at me now, I'm fine. As the saying goes, those who survive a disaster will have good fortune in the future. No one can guarantee whether what happened today will be a blessing or a disaster, right?"
At least what happened today made her realize one thing: nothing can be accomplished without bloodshed.
"Yuan'er..." Seeing Chen Ningyuan so calm, Cui Jin felt so uncomfortable.
Holding Shen Ningyuan's hand, Cui Jin felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw a small amount of dark red blood remaining between the nails.
To what extent had the Ji family wasted her daughter's life!
The hands that had played the piano and held a pen since childhood were now stained with blood, but he remained calm.
"Mom, it's really okay." Shen Ningyuan continued to comfort Cui Jin.
At this moment, there was another burst of hurried horse hoof sounds approaching.
When Shen Ningyuan heard the sound, she looked and saw her father and her eldest and second brothers riding horses galloping towards her.
The strange thing is that even though the three grown men were riding at full speed, they were still one step slower than my mother.
From this we can see how anxious her mother was when she knew something happened to her.
"Yuan'er!"
"younger sister!"
The three men dismounted their horses, shouting anxiously.
When they came up to them, Shen Ningyuan saw that the faces of the three people were flushed due to extreme nervousness.
Seeing that Shen Ningyuan was safe and sound, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and their stiff faces obviously relaxed a little.
"Yuan'er, I'm so glad you're okay!" Shen Haobai said with relief: "When we received the news from your sister-in-law, we were almost scared to death!"
Shen Haoyue did not speak, his eyes were fixed on the blood between Shen Ningyuan's fingernails.
