Before he could finish his words, Zai Yushou was suddenly hit by a powerful and terrifying force, and his body was immediately thrown backwards like a kite with a broken string.
Bang!
Objects in the temple were smashed to pieces!
Zai Yushou was seriously injured and spat out a mouthful of blood. His body was shaking uncontrollably, like a candle in the wind, about to fall.
The people present witnessed this thrilling scene, terrified, and fell to the ground, trembling and afraid to look up. Those beautiful women who were once so beautiful now turned pale and panicked.
Zai Yushou struggled to stand up, staggering to his knees before the purple-robed man, kowtowed repeatedly and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, spare my life! I have never lied to you!"
The purple-robed man's face was gloomy, his eyes flashing with fierce anger. He said coldly, "No? You just said that you would give all these beauties to me, but why did you hide one of them?"
As soon as these words came out, Zai Yushou's face turned pale, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he said in a trembling voice: "Your subordinate... Your subordinate did not know!"
The purple-robed man sneered, "You don't know anything about anything. What's the point of keeping you here? If that's the case, then go die!"
As he said this, he raised his hand, ready to end Zai Yushou's life.
At this moment, the old man in white shouted anxiously: "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
He quickly took action and blocked the purple-clothed man's palm that was about to fall.
The purple-robed man narrowed his dangerous eyes and said in a deep voice, "I have given you half an hour to find that beauty. If you hurt even a hair on her head, you will die! Because I will kill you—"
"Grind the bones and scatter ashes!"
As soon as his words came out, everyone trembled with fear.
Zai Yushou's face looked even uglier. He was cursing his parents in his heart. Which bastard had detained this person?
Let him suffer this misfortune!
He quickly responded, "Yes, Your Majesty! I'll go find someone right away!"
After agreeing, he quickly led his men out of the hall and immediately ordered the people in the mansion to look for the beauty!
One of the guardians said to Zai Yushou, "District Master, the deputy district master is acting strangely today. He actually sent all the sedan chairs to his courtyard. Do you think the beauty is in his courtyard?"
Hearing this, Zai Yushou's face became gloomy and a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.
"It must be with him!" he said with certainty.
Otherwise, with Shen Ce's personality, he wouldn't be so abnormal as to have all the sedan chairs sent into his yard. I'm afraid that the beauty is hidden in the sedan chair!
But, why would Your Majesty know this?
What is the background of this beauty? Why does His Majesty care about her so much?
"Go to Shen Ce." Zai Yushou's eyes flashed.
At the same time, the purple-clothed man in the hall looked in a certain direction based on his feeling. His eyes darkened. He originally wanted to see her through this event, but he didn't expect that she was not among so many people.
Either she escaped or she was imprisoned.
"Your Majesty, we are now..." The old man in white was about to say something, but suddenly stopped, because his majesty had disappeared long ago.
The old man in white frowned and thought to himself that His Majesty's emotions seemed to have been aroused many times by this mysterious beauty.
Could it be that...
Is this the one your Majesty desires?
…
On the other side, in the yard.
After Shen Ce told Shen Yan, "I am Shen Ke's husband," Shen Yan was obviously stunned for a few seconds. She was a little bit unbelievable in her heart.
"What did you say?" She wanted to confirm again.
Chen Ce stared at her deeply, "I am Chen Ke's husband. I am the husband chosen by the Grand Master for the eldest princess, Chen Ke."
As he spoke, he took another step closer to her.
He took her hand and pressed it against the cinnabar mark on his collarbone.
"Here, it's boiling hot for you."
Chen Yan touched his collarbone and felt it was a little hot. She felt quite complicated. Although she had recovered her memory within three years of her previous life, this incident was not in her memory.
The husband chosen for her by the Grand Master?
Chen Yan calmly withdrew her hand, looked at him and said, "I am indeed Chen Ke, but I can't remember that I had a fiancé. Besides, you and I are not suitable. We can pretend that the engagement does not exist. You will meet someone you like in the future."
These words made Shen Ce's expression change unpredictably.
A fiancé?
It seems that she really forgot.
The Grand Master had chosen more than one candidate for the position of Empress Dowager for her.
Shen Ce stared at her, "Your Highness, have you really decided not to choose me?"
Just when Shen Yan was about to refuse him, there was a noise outside the yard.
Shen Ce's eyes changed slightly, and he said to Shen Yan in a serious tone: "Hide well, I'll go take care of some things first."
After saying this, he left the sedan chair.
When the gauze curtain fell, only his departing figure could be vaguely seen through the curtain.
At the same time, Chen Yan vaguely sensed something and frowned slightly.
He is here too!
Why is he here?
Chen Yan was a little worried about his situation because she didn't know whether he came here to do business or encountered some danger here.
She raised her hand to lift the gauze curtain and was about to leave the sedan chair when two secret guards suddenly appeared on both sides of her sedan chair.
The two secret guards said anxiously.
"Miss, come with us!"
Having said that, he wanted to knock Chen Yan unconscious and take her away.
But Chen Yan dodged it.
The two secret guards looked stunned and a little embarrassed.
Chen Yan asked calmly, "What happened?"
