Chapter 8: The Paranoid Emperor vs. the Convicted Minister's Wife



The ambiguous purple marks on her body were covered with powder and could not be seen unless you looked closely.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see the difference in the legs while they were moving.

Lu Jinyue cursed Shen Yunxiao in her heart again out of shame and anger.

"What happened today? The girl is a little slow." Aunt Xu had a pair of sharp eyes and she could see the clues after a quick look.

The Music Department is located on the edge of the entire imperial palace, so it is normal that some news is delayed.

Lu Jinyue's face flushed. "I fell last night when I got up to go to the bathroom, and my foot hurts a little."

Since she didn't want to say it, Aunt Xu had no reason to force her, but just asked her to pay more attention.

The New Year’s Eve banquet is coming soon, and we can’t make any mistakes.

When it was time for dinner, Lu Jinyue ran back in a hurry. The abnormality between her legs became more obvious. She was sweating profusely in a short while. Baozhen behind her was very concerned and took her arm and walked slowly step by step.

When they arrived at the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Shen Yunxiao was already sitting at the table and starting to eat.

He noticed Lu Jinyue's strange posture at a glance and waved at her.

Lu Jinyue didn't understand why, but still walked over.

As soon as she stood still, she was lifted into the air by Shen Yunxiao.

What is going on?

Chen Yunxiao didn't care whether she was willing or not, and carried her to the couch in the side hall.

There is also a small side hall next to the dining room, which has a small couch for resting, which comes in handy.

Even though it was a humble little couch, it was made of expensive huanghuali wood and covered with a fine mattress and soft pillows, so it was a bit crowded for two people.

Lu Jinyue watched herself getting closer and closer to the small couch, and couldn't help but be dazed. Wasn't it time to eat? Why was he getting on the couch again?

But the truth is that she overthought it.

After lying flat on the bed, she was pressed down by Shen Yunxiao as soon as she tried to get up.

The moon-white dress was spread out on the bed, her shoes were thrown casually on the ground, and a big hand easily reached into her skirt.

Lu Jinyue's face turned a little red, and she quickly held down his messy hand.

"Your Majesty, it's still daytime!" Lu Jinyue spoke out anxiously to stop him.

"So?" Shen Yunxiao pushed her hand away, took off her pants layer by layer, and finally found the soft and warm place.

The hem of her skirt was pulled aside, revealing a large area of ​​skin as white as snow. Shen Yunxiao's eyes darkened slightly.

Lu Jinyue thought, it’s over, all my work will be in vain again.

She felt like giving up, so she lay straight, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.

The feeling she imagined did not come, but instead she felt a cool touch. She could not help but look at him, only to find that he looked focused and serious, with a small porcelain bottle in his other hand.

So he was giving her medicine?

Did she think wrongly?

Lu Jinyue's face turned even redder, and she felt like she was about to burn.

Apart from Ye Zhixing, he was the only one who had touched this place.

A tingling sensation came over her, causing her to tense her toes involuntarily and her hands to tightly grasp the sides of her skirt.

This is so embarrassing!

Shen Yunxiao noticed her strangeness and smiled maliciously, "Why, are you waiting for my visit?"

Lu Jinyue's face flushed with embarrassment after her secret was exposed. She immediately turned her head to the side and said, "No."

After applying the medicine, Shen Yunxiao tidied his clothes and turned to leave.

Lu Jinyue took a few deep breaths before suppressing the urge to beat up Shen Yunxiao. This guy really deserved a beating.

After the two of them finished their meal, Shen Yunxiao was called out again. It was said that someone outside was leading a riot. There were people who were dissatisfied with his ascension to the throne, most of whom were young scholars.

Young people are hot-tempered and care most about reputation and moral character. They study in order to pass the imperial examinations and become officials, serving the people as well as themselves.

Knowing that Shen Yunxiao's throne came from an illegitimate source, they could no longer sit still.

"The current emperor's succession to the throne is not legitimate, so he is not worthy of this great responsibility!" A tall scholar shouted loudly, holding up a copy of the Analects. "We are students who have studied the Four Books and Five Classics thoroughly. Now is the time when we are needed!"

"That's right! Shen Yunxiao killed his father and brother, he is not worthy to be the emperor of our Great Rui Dynasty!" Another student echoed.

For a moment, the surrounding students were all emotional, and they all felt that Shen Yunxiao should commit suicide to apologize and give the throne to the former prince who had escaped.

A student hiding among them exchanged glances with a student not far away and nodded slowly.

"We studied so hard for ten years, passed the imperial examinations, and became officials. Isn't it all for the benefit of the people of the world? Unfortunately, the ruler of the world is cruel and bloodthirsty. What good would it do to become an official? Wouldn't it just be collusion with him?"

In an instant, the students began to whisper to each other, and they all felt that what he said was absolutely right.

If they dare to shout like this on the street, they must have incited emotions in other places.

When Shen Yunxiao and Lu Jinyue appeared, the scholars were still talking excitedly, and the one leading the group was spitting so much that in the sunlight, the splashing saliva could be seen forming a faint rainbow.

"Why did you bring me here?" Lu Jinyue was puzzled. She wanted to continue practicing dancing in the afternoon!

Shen Yunxiao never cared what she did while he was in court, but he couldn't stand the fact that he was working so hard outside while this damn woman was enjoying herself in the palace.

He can't stand it!

"I'll take you to see a good show." Shen Yunxiao put on his casual clothes.

The golden brocade robe was embroidered with a pattern of a golden dragon flying through auspicious clouds, and the cuffs were hemmed with gold thread, which shone dimly in the sunlight. This was the most expensive cloud brocade.

Lu Jinyue was wearing a light blue jacket and holding a heater in her hands.

At this time, Lu Jin Yueye was stunned when he heard the words of this bold scholar.

Everyone in Da Rui knows that the new emperor's accession to the throne is not legitimate, but aren't they afraid of being executed along with their entire clan for saying it so openly?

Is this guy a fool?

Even Lu Jinyue could think of it, but these students couldn’t.

They thought that Shen Yunxiao would not dare to do anything to them. After all, scholars can only talk but soldiers can only run their legs off. Shen Yunxiao was just a brutal and reckless man, and reckless men usually had no brains.

"Yun Xiao, you're here all the time. Look how arrogant they are!" Hua Wuyang had already brought his soldiers to surround them.

But after all, they were young students, and they might not be able to serve as officials in the court in the future, so he really didn't dare to do anything to them for the time being.

Some students even had conflicts with the soldiers around them, with the books in their hands constantly hitting their heads, and their arrogance was extremely arrogant.

Shen Yunxiao didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand and handed over a bow and an arrow.

When the longbow was fully drawn and the arrow was shot out, Lu Jinyue forgot to react.

With a "whoosh", a sharp arrow pierced the sky and accurately hit a scholar's head.

The arrow entered his left ear and exited his right, piercing his entire head. The scholar closest to him had his face splashed with hot blood, and he screamed in fear.

"Murder!" The shrill screams resounded through the sky, and the whole street was in chaos for a moment.
