    About this ebook

    Shen Xin, the direct descendent of the Grand Preceptor; Qin Ao, the current emperor. When the Grand Emperor's cry rang out, Qin Ao had no choice but to hang himself. With a wave of his hand, an imperial decree was made, fulfilling the Grand Emperor's' beautiful intentions'.

    According to the blessing of the heavens, the emperor decreed that the direct daughter of the Shen family was a pure orchid with a pure heart. She was the epitome of a woman in the world and had entered the Eastern Palace. This is it! " The Supreme Emperor laughed. A certain emperor continued to feel helpless, and the chicken leg in a certain woman's hand fell to the ground. From then on, entering the main East Palace, watching the battles between the tigers, eating and drinking, became Shen Xin's goal. But of course, this person, Shen Xin, was also a peerless glutton. Even entering the palace wouldn't change the nature of a foodie. I would never have thought that the biggest rival in my life was none other than all kinds of delicious food.

      Your Majesty, the Empress Runs Again - Yi FangZi

      I?

      CHAPTER 401 - THE ROUTINE IS TOO DEEP

      Bring me a few benches and lower Third Aunt's face to the floor. Shen Xin swore that it was the first time she treated someone like that, but Mrs. Chen couldn't be considered to be sick. She was probably pushed to the ground when she was very excited, so she couldn't stop spitting.

      Fourth Lady, what do we do next? The servants quickly asked Shen Xin after placing the Mrs. Chen on a bench with their heads down.

      Alright, gently hit her back thrice and thrice until she vomited. Shen Xin took out a silver needle and gave it to Mrs. Chen to treat the vital acupuncture points before allowing the servants to pat his back. It was said that this scourge had lasted for a thousand years, and Mrs. Chen, this scourge, would not die that easily.

      After around fifteen minutes, the Mrs. Chen only managed to open her mouth to vomit, but the moment she vomited, Shen Xin dodged to the side quickly. She had poured so much salt water into her mouth, and also given her acupuncture points. Not to mention a mouthful of phlegm, even if she hadn't digested it in the morning, she would still be able to spit it out. After making sure that Mrs. Chen was alright, Shen Xin turned around and left, but the female servants were not as lucky as Shen Xin.

      Mrs. Chen fell into a deep sleep for a few days before he slowly recovered. Lin Mei was gone without a trace. Shen Xin did not waste any energy on finding Lin Mei. He thought that she probably thought that he had beaten her mother to death and hid away in fear.

      When Mrs. Chen was slightly better, Shen Xin asked for Lin Zhan's opinion. The father and daughter pair agreed that they should not keep her at the Lin's Mansion anymore, but unfortunately, the Mrs. Chen had thick skin, and refused to leave under the pretext of repaying Shen Xin for saving their lives. Shen Xin had the thought of kicking Mrs. Chen out of her mansion, but the moment she thought of this, she was immediately summoned into the palace by the Imperial Concubine Zhang. Imperial Concubine Zhang ordered Shen Xin to stay in the palace for a few more days. Thinking that she was Qin Ao's royal grandmother, Shen Xin packed some clothes and entered the palace obsequiously.

      Shen Xin knew that the Imperial Concubine Zhang was the only one in the entire imperial family who treated Qin Ao with sincerity, so he especially valued his relationship with her. She had originally thought that the Imperial Concubine Zhang was too bored to ask her to enter the palace to accompany her. After entering the palace, she found out that her father had set her up way too deeply, so she had used the excuse of asking her to enter the palace to teach her etiquette.

      Shen Xin had thought that he had stayed in the rear palace of the Great Qin for a period of time, so he was still quite familiar with palace etiquette. Furthermore, she had not made any mistakes when she had entered the palace before, so it was all a small matter to him. But when she made mistakes again and again, she started to suspect that her past position as the empress was in vain. Who could tell her why there were so many miscellaneous gifts?

      Wrong again, little Yun. That was an Imperial Concubine's salute, you should have kept your hand below it. At this time, Imperial Concubine Zhang was just like a strict old lady. There was not a single trace of benevolence on her face, and instead, her face was full of dignity. She was holding a ruler in her hand, so if Shen Xin made a mistake, she would hit him lightly. It was not a heavy hit, but the number of times he got hit increased.

      Forget it, continue being a female worker. The Imperial Concubine Zhang once again took out the embroidery that Shen Xin had completed yesterday, allowing him to continue embroidering. Shen Xin felt that he had nothing to live for, who would let him practice embroidery to make the Buddha? Heavens, ah, the earth, she really can't embroider ah, she can only do some simple, after all, in the modern world there is no needlework task ah.

      Imperial Concubine, why don't we change it? Shen Xin discussed with the Imperial Concubine Zhang. This embroidery of the Buddha was really too difficult for her, How about we embroider a mandarin duck or a plant?

      That won't do. Your mother practiced both martial arts and literature back in the day. She was able to embroider very well. Perhaps you just haven't displayed your potential yet. Imperial Concubine Zhang was serious, refusing once more. Back then, Lei Die was proficient in everything, so there was no reason her daughter wouldn't be able to do it. Shen Xin scoffed, his mother, even in death, you are trying to scam your own daughter. Actually, she really did embroider a mandarin duck well, and embroidery trees, flowers and plants weren't bad either.

      Forget it. I won't make things difficult for you. You should rest for a while before continuing! Seeing Shen Xin's speed of embroidery, which was like that of an ant's, Imperial Concubine Zhang expressed that she could no longer stand it.

      Thank you, Imperial Concubine. Shen Xin was overjoyed. He could finally rest a bit, if not for the eagerness in Imperial Concubine Zhang's eyes, Shen Xin would have thought that she, the old man, had nothing better to do and wanted to play with him. This Yiming Palace Rite was too troublesome, and had to perform different salutations to different people on different occasions, which was fine, but the salutation should not have any mistakes, it was too excruciating. She had suffered many setbacks in terms of salutations and embroidery. No, no matter what, she had to train hard and release herself as soon as possible.

      Mother, are you training the direct daughter of Lin Family again? The moment the voice came out, Shen Xin frowned slightly. She did not know if King of Underworld came to the Imperial Palace that frequently before she entered, but ever since she entered, she had been able to see him for the past few days. When he thought about how he treated his mother so badly and was even linked to her death, and what was even more important, how he actually used Qin Ao as a role model for his father, Shen Xin felt extremely disgusted with him.

      This subject pays her respects to the Emperor. No matter how much Shen Xin hated the King of Underworld, he would still act respectful on the surface.

      No need to be so polite. The King of Underworld wanted to help Shen Xin, but Shen Xin had already stood up by himself and stood behind the Imperial Concubine Zhang. This old thing still wanted to help him, it must have some sort of ulterior motive.

      Your majesty, how did you have the time to come to This Dowager's place? Shen Xin massaged Imperial Concubine Zhang obediently as he asked with narrowed eyes. After all, she was his son. Imperial Concubine Zhang could not help but worry that the Emperor, who had always been coming to his Longevity Palace during this time, had encountered some troublesome matters regarding government affairs.

      This year, the people's harvest was not good, and the Ministry of Revenue responded in many ways that it did not pay taxes. However, the clan has frequently come to disturb us, and wars have often broken out. The military needs are not few, and for the time being, I can't come up with a solution." When the Imperial Concubine Zhang asked, the King of Underworld did not hide anything. He frowned, citizens could not pay taxes, and could not forcefully pay taxes, but the army's supplies were also essential, which made things difficult for them.

      There are so many ministers here, yet none of them have a solution to this? The people were the foundation of the nation, the army protected the Yiming, and it was difficult to weigh the consequences.

      At the most critical moment, they have all become turtles who hide their heads! King of Underworld slammed the table heavily. When he thought about how the chatty ministers would be rendered speechless at such a crucial moment, he, the Monarch, couldn't help but wish that he could kill them all.

      On the other hand, Lin Zhan had suggested a way to raise money, so there was no rest in the debate over who should do it. Empress, do you have a suitable candidate in your heart? King of Underworld glanced at Shen Xin after he finished speaking, and then retracted his gaze.

      CHAPTER 402 - INWARDLY HE FELT THAT THERE WAS A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM

      Lin Zhan came from a doctor's family, and is indeed more gentle and benevolent than an ordinary official. Didn't the Emperor already have a choice in mind? Why would he ask This Dowager? Imperial Concubine Zhang first sighed with emotion, and then, he understood the meaning behind each of his words.

      Mother, your son knows that you feel sorry for the crown prince, but now is the time for the crown prince to bear the responsibility. I still hope that mother will not stop you this time. King of Underworld was not annoyed by what he said, but asked Imperial Concubine Zhang not to stop him.

      Ao'er should start exercising now. This Dowager knows that the past few times I tried to stop Ao'er from doing things made the Emperor unhappy. In the future, This Dowager will no longer interfere. Imperial Concubine Zhang took a sip of tea. She knew that Ao'er had angered the Emperor a few times by stopping her from exterminating bandits, but Ao'er was weak. She heard that they had already been exterminated once, so how could she let him go to such a dangerous place? This fundraising was not as dangerous as the others. It was also a good thing to let Gu'er gain experience.

      Imperial Mother, this son doesn't mean that. Seeing that the Imperial Concubine Zhang was secretly angry, the King of Underworld immediately explained. The Queen Mother had suffered a lot for him, her son, and had been at Green Mountain Temple for many years.

      I heard Consort Yulong say that your waist isn't very good, and it just so happens that This Dowager has some medicine to cure your waist pain, so the Emperor wants to use it. If you use it well, This Dowager will send someone to send some more. No matter what, King of Underworld was still a child born in the middle of October, no matter how much she was dissatisfied with him, but since their hearts were linked, Imperial Concubine Zhang still couldn't help but think for King of Underworld.

      Thank you, Imperial Mother. Eunuch De, bring it up. Mother, this is a furnace that this son ordered someone to create for you. The weather is cold, and the one that royal father bestowed to you is not enough, please use this! The Eunuch De presented a brand-new one, and it looked extremely shiny. As expected, the emperor's gift must be very good, Shen Xin silently remembered when to prepare one for his father.

      I still have a lot of government work to handle, so I'll be taking my leave.

      This subject sends Your Majesty off respectfully.

      Little Yun'er, put away this thing first. It'll be time for dinner later. Ao'er said that he will enter the palace today. Go to the imperial kitchens to see if there are any dishes that Ao'er likes to eat. Shen Xin saw Imperial Concubine Zhang secretly wipe her eyes. She didn't know why Imperial Concubine Zhang had lived alone at Green Mountain Temple for so many years, but even though she was a little cold towards King of Underworld, she still loved him a lot. King of Underworld had only given her a handicraft and she was already crying. This mother and son pair was truly strange.

      Yes. Shen Xin accepted the order and went to the imperial kitchen. Honestly, Qin Ao was not picky with food, as long as it was not too sweet or greasy, he would eat everything. Therefore, Shen Xin very naturally chose something suitable for the elderly person to eat. As for Qin Ao, of course he would eat whatever he ate. This man was not picky like the other imperial family disciples, it was especially easy to support.

      After eating dinner, Imperial Concubine Zhang was tired after having Qin Ao and Shen Xin accompany him for a while. Only Shen Xin and Qin Ao remained. I was almost tortured to death by your royal grandmother, and yet you, bastard, didn't come to see me. Speak, what should I do? " Shen Xin sat opposite of Qin Ao, teasing him. Imperial Concubine Zhang was really too strict, and there were too many palace rituals in Yiming.

      It's all my fault. How do you want to punish me? I'll listen to you! Qin Ao knew that Shen Xin was joking with him, but he also felt bad. He knew that the reason his royal grandmother allowed Xin Er to enter the palace was to let him learn the etiquette of the Crown Prince's wife. Actually he had come here a few times, but he had always seen Xin Er being hit on the palm with a ruler by the imperial grandmother when she had a face full of dignity. He had also talked about this with her, that his Xin Er did not need to learn any form of etiquette, but his imperial grandmother still insisted on doing it, and because he believed in Xin Er's abilities, he did not interfere with it anymore.

      Why don't you talk to my grandmother about it? You can continue to study. I believe that you can learn it after a while. But embroidery is really too difficult. Shen Xin pleaded as he looked at Qin Ao with watery eyes. Her hands holding the silver needles were fine, but the embroidery needles were no longer. She would rather give acupuncture and moxibustion to someone ten times than embroider. It was too tormenting. She really didn't have the talent to be an ancient woman.

      Don't worry about that. I'll talk to my grandmother. Qin Ao nodded his head. Embroidery was too dangerous.

      How is the investigation at the All Seasons gambling den? Shen Xin suddenly thought of the matter of the All Season gambling den. She had been in the palace for so many days, yet she had not heard any news regarding the All Season gambling den.

      Qin Ao frowned: There is someone else behind this Full Circle gambling house, and the spy network found out that Lin Jin only managed to make a deal with it, but it has nothing to do with her. The All Season gambling den was originally just a small gambling den. The owner was murdered for offending the powerful officials of the time. Later on, the gambling den changed hands many times, and even the official records were not recorded. When the late emperor was still alive, the gambling den had already been well-run. All the silver taels were already in the bank, but what's strange is that no one has used them in the past sixty years. The more Qin Ao thought about it, the more he felt that this gambling den was out of the ordinary. Normally, when a gambling den earned money, they would hand it over to their owner.

      The bank is run by the government, and the government isn't allowed to run the gambling den. If it was related to the government, that person would have already checked it out. So, I can only wait. After all, I saved up some money in the bank, so I won't use it forever, right? " Shen Xin was confused. If she had money, he would have at least used some of it. But if she had managed to save all her money for so many years, she would need to spend some of it on daily living.

      The spy network is checking to see if there are any hidden accounts, they will find out eventually. Qin Ao also thought of the same problem. The accounts of the Full Circle gambling den that the spy network had found and the existence of the bank completely matched each other. All the money that they had earned was saved without any expenses, which was absolutely impossible for such a large gambling den.

      Maybe there will be an unexpected harvest. Shen Xin nodded, he had originally thought that the owner of the gambling den would be Lin Jin, but from the looks of it, it seemed that the matter was going to be interesting, for this gambling den to be so mysterious. Oh right, the emperor came here just now. He means that you will handle this collection. The gambling house has a lot of money, so you can't be planning on doing this, right? Shen Xin immediately rushed over to it. It seemed like Qin Ao had already made a plan, no matter how mysterious the whole gambling den was, coming here first was still a good idea.

      Xin Er and your husband's hearts are indeed connected, your husband also has the same intention. Qin Ao was delighted, as expected, Xin Er understood him the best, he had been thinking about this just now. Other merchants might say that money is hard to turn around, but a casino that keeps money in a bank won't be able to use this excuse.

      CHAPTER 403 - QUEEN JINGXIAN

      In the next few days, Imperial Concubine Zhang did not let Shen Xin practice embroidery anymore. Shen Xin was also focused on learning the palace etiquette, Imperial Concubine Zhang was aware of Shen Xin's hard work, and finally, with a wave of his hand, he announced that Shen Xin had stopped training.

      Little Yun, do you know why This Dowager chose you? As Shen Xin and Imperial Concubine Zhang was sitting and chatting, the Imperial Concubine Zhang suddenly became serious.

      Is it because of this subject's daughter and Imperial Concubine's fate? Although the Imperial Concubine Zhang looked kind and kind, but in reality, he saw through it more than anyone else. Honestly speaking, even Shen Xin was curious as to why the Imperial Concubine Zhang had set eyes on him.

      That's right. You are indeed close to This Dowager, and thus have deep feelings for her. But this one has a bit of selfishness in her heart. You have Lin Family behind your back, Lei Family, and the Wang Family, but Ao'er does not have the support of her mother. This one wants to find a virtuous wife for him. Ao'er has been left behind since young. He definitely can't be compared to those devils and spirits, and I only have this one direct grandson, the law of the jungle. I hope you two can support each other and continue to walk. While Imperial Concubine Zhang was speaking, he had been looking at Shen Xin, his eyes shining brightly, not allowing Shen Xin to avoid his gaze.

      Don't worry, Imperial Concubine won't tell me that this subject will also accompany her forever. Even if the subject girl betrayed herself, she would never betray the Crown Prince. Shen Xin suddenly realized that Imperial Concubine Zhang was only thinking about Qin Ao.

      This one believes you. This one knows that if I don't make things clear with you, my heart will always be separated from yours. Imperial Concubine Zhang looked at Shen Xin benevolently. It was enough for this girl to compensate him with Ao'er.

      This subject does not dare. Shen Xin was once again shocked by the viciousness in the Imperial Concubine Zhang's eyes. Even if Qin Ao had recognized her as his imperial grandmother, Shen Xin still couldn't believe that an old man who hadn't gotten along with much would take out a hundred percent of his sincerity towards his grandson. After all, there were more than ten grandchildren. The King of Underworld was the biological son of the Imperial Concubine Zhang, so the sons that he gave birth to could all be considered as her grandchildren.

      Ao'er's birth mother, the Honorable Empress Dowager, was the one who made the marriage for the Emperor, and she was also a rare person with a gentle temperament. She was able to maintain a sincere heart even after marrying into the imperial family for many years. Her love for the emperor was the most sincere that this one had ever seen. It was like a moth flying into a flame, but it was a pity that the emperor had always treated her as the eyes and ears of the empress dowager, cherishing her unbeknownst to him. Ao'er that child steadfast, every word hidden in the heart, but to grief is extremely filial, probably have a mother to have a son! Little Yun, don't complain about how long-winded I am. You must treat Ou'er well and always be the same. I believe Ou'er will appreciate your kindness as well." Imperial Concubine Zhang recalled the Empress with tears in her eyes and a smile on her lips.

      No need to be so long-winded. This subject would like to hear more about the Empress. No matter whether it was the Imperial Concubine Jin who committed many evil deeds or the Empress Dowager Lin who was killed by Long Si, both of them had caused Qin Ao to feel hurt. It was not easy for him to find out about his own background, the honorable Empress Xian had already passed away, and he did not even have the chance to see the last time. Although he didn't say it out loud, he still felt a bit regretful. After asking about the Empress, it could be considered a form of comfort for him.

      Seeing that Shen Xin was also willing to listen to this old man reminisce about the past, Imperial Concubine Zhang immediately started to talk about it, telling Shen Xin about the things that happened between the time she entered the palace and the time she passed away. Shen Xin listened attentively, as a listener, he didn't know what to think after listening. There are two very sad kinds of people in the world: one who loves others less than he loves himself, and does not know how to love one in the end; the other who loves others more than anything else, and who loses himself in love, is too heavy a love to get the same response in the end.

      After hearing the story, Shen Xin knew that Empress Jing Xian belonged to the latter. She loved the King of Underworld so much that she lost herself. She heard that drinking ice and snow water from the Snow Mountain could increase one's cultivation. Surprisingly, she didn't care about her pregnancy as she ran up the Snow Mountain to get the ice and snow water. She almost miscarried. She didn't even have a mother's awareness. She knew that she was weak and yet she still ran to the snow mountain. If she really miscarried, where would she go to find Qin Ao?

      In the eyes of Imperial Concubine Zhang, it was a sincere and passionate love for her son. However, Shen Xin's position was different from the Imperial Concubine Zhang's. Shen Xin was thinking things from the perspective that Qin Ao was his lover, so he didn't feel that there was anything good about the Empress Jing Xian's love at all. Even if she loved Qin Ao dearly, she wouldn't joke around with the child in her belly. This was the difference between her and the honorable queen.

      Imperial Concubine, the poison in her body can only be found once she's born, but how could Empress Jing Xian be poisoned? If Qin Ao were to pretend to be poisoned now, then it was definitely because he was poisoned.

      Back then, when the assassin attempted to assassinate the emperor, he poisoned the wine and Empress Jingxian accidentally ate the poisoned wine. Her life was saved, but the remaining poison was kept in the child's body. It was a pity that Ao'er was lucky to have survived so many years. At that time, the crown prince had diagnosed that there is no cure for this poison. Imperial Concubine Zhang sighed, his tone filled with helplessness.

      Shen Xin knew that there was no need for the Imperial Concubine Zhang to deceive him for a dead person, but there were too many loopholes. Forget about weak pregnant women like Empress Jing Xian, even normal pregnant women would not drink alcohol. Forget about drinking alcohol, how could Empress Jing Xian drink King of Underworld's poison wine at the same time? Furthermore, the imperial physician had said that the poison in the child's body would never be cured, but after marrying Qin Ao, he had also given the child his pulse. Furthermore, she still had not figured out why Qin Ao had to seal his Inner Qi when he came to this continent.

      Was it because Empress Jing Xian loved the King of Underworld too much or did she not care about the child in her womb? No, there were too many oddities to this. She had to find Qin Ao and ask him about this, always feeling like she was in the clouds. This was all too wrong. She was always a little uneasy not knowing what was going on.

      Alright, This Dowager is also a bit tired. Caisheng, help This Dowager to rest. Thinking that Shen Xin's mental state was hurt by hearing about the past, Imperial Concubine Zhang gave her some space to himself.

      This subject shall send Imperial Concubine off. After sending off the Imperial Concubine Zhang, Shen Xin sorted out her doubts silently. The more she thought about it, the more crazy her thoughts would be.

      CHAPTER 404 - TO BE EMPRESS

      Without the Imperial Concubine Zhang's instructions, she was not allowed to leave the palace as she wished. Furthermore, she had received such a special treatment that many pairs of eyes were watching her, so she was not allowed to leave the palace as she wished. All she could do was wait for Qin Ao's arrival while holding back all her doubts. It was a pity that Qin Ao did not have the time to enter the palace during the next few days, and only sent people to provide supplies to the Imperial Concubine Zhang from time to time. Shen Xin had Tingyu sneakily leave the palace to give him a message, but he did not enter the Longevity Palace either.

      Miss, the matter of the donation has finally been settled. Crown Prince said that he will enter the palace tonight. Finally, Tingyu brought back some good news, which made Shen Xin feel a lot more at ease. With the gambling den being so mysterious and Qin Ao not sending any other news over for a few days, she could only worry. Finally, she was able to confirm that he was alright.

      Xin Er, I've made you worry. That night, Qin Ao indeed came to the palace. He did not go to visit the Imperial Concubine Zhang, but chose to stay up late at night instead.

      Is it that hard? It's not like you're raising a donation for yourself, so why do you have to put in so much effort? After not seeing Qin Ao for half a month, he had lost a lot of weight.

      The owner of the Full flourishing gambling den is hiding in the Lin's Mansion, and as expected, he is still related to Lin Jin. Qin Ao liked to hug Shen Xin in his arms. It was soft and comfortable.

      It's actually hiding right under my nose. I was too careless this time. I've been to the Jin Jia Village many times, but I didn't notice it. Shen Xin was startled, could this be considered the most dangerous place to be? It was probably because her vigilance had decreased, so she didn't notice it even at such a close distance.

      This person is too mysterious. When my people arrived, he had already left. I didn't even know what he looked like. If it wasn't for the donation, I wouldn't have known that he came to the capital for no reason. All of the banknotes in the banks were fake, and no one in the government realized it after so many years. This person's capabilities cannot be underestimated. Although he has alerted the snake with his attack this time around, at the very least, we know of his existence. " Qin Ao lamented, the banknotes were printed by the imperial government, that person had even tricked the officials.

      The gambling den has a lot of income in a year. All these years, we've only used fake money. I'm afraid that we don't know anything about him using money to raise private soldiers. With so much money, if you really plan to use it to raise a horse or forge a weapon without being discovered, then you'll have to be on your guard.

      "That's right, I have already given Ximen Li full responsibility for this matter. It is much more reasonable for him to take care of the memorial than me, the crown prince. Qin Ao leaned his head against Shen Xin's neck, and it was indeed Xin Er who made people feel at ease.

      Qin Ao, tell me honestly, why did your master seal your internal energy? Shen Xin's breath made her heart itch, and she immediately pushed him away.

      I didn't expect Xin Er to find out too, my master must have been tricked by someone. I stopped the medicine he gave me in the past few days. It's not too bad, I can use inner force now." 's words caught Shen Xin off guard, causing her heart to ache. Her tears fell just like that, she had always known that Qin Ao was brooding over the Green Mountain Temple's incident, this fool must have thought that he did not protect her well. But he stopped the drug without any preparation. What would she do if something happened?

      Xin Er, don't cry, don't cry … I've found some things from many years ago, and it's not like I'm not completely confident that I would be able to do this. Xin Er, don't cry, cry until my heart hurts.

      What did you find out? Shen Xin also didn't expect that she would suddenly shed tears. Qin Ao coaxed him again, sniffling his nose as he dried his tears, cursing himself for being more and more unreasonable.

      Master told me that the identity of the Demon Lord was not ordinary, and that the ancestors of Yiming and the people of the Profound Sky Continent had jointly placed a restriction on both sides to take even half a step outside of the lightning pool. Especially as the Demon Lord, if he wanted to go to the other continent, he had to seal off all his internal energy. However, I found out that the previous Lord of the Treacherous Currency wasn't dead. His body was in a cave. I had the coroner examine it and found out that he died this year due to Qi deviation." Qin Ao never thought that his master, who had been dead for so many years, would appear in the Yiming Continent.

      What a scam. Shen Xin never thought that things would actually turn out like this, he suddenly felt like he was being kicked in the head. It seemed like after all this time, Qin Ao's suffering was all because of the damn rumors. To think that she was still studying whether there was some spiritual energy in the legends between these two continents. She thought that the spiritual energy of this continent wasn't suitable for the Treacherous Holy Lord.

      By the way, did your master ever mention that you were poisoned since the time you were born? What did you say? Only now did Shen Xin suddenly remember the main reason she asked Qin Ao to enter the palace.

      My poison was cured by the Ghost Doctor. I heard Master say that when they stole me out of the palace, my entire body was black. After going to the Great Qin, Master met the Ghost Doctor. However, it's not like the imperial physician said he would never be able to resolve it. Perhaps it's because his own skills are lacking. Qin Ao answered truthfully. At that time, he was too young, he simply did not have any memories.

      Imperial Concubine told me that you were poisoned because your mother drank wine. What do you think? Shen Xin was not stupid enough to criticize Empress Jing Xian in front of Qin Ao. After all, she was Qin Ao's mother.

      Maybe she just wanted to use this opportunity to kill me. When Qin Ao said this, he did not carry any emotion. Shen Xin raised his head in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

      I'm not part of her plan. What she wants is not a child, but the throne … Qin Ao told Shen Xin everything he found out, calmly as if it was all someone else's fault.

      Shen Xin took a long time to digest all the information. He never thought that Empress Jing Xian had such ambitions, she had only married to become an empress, this woman actually wanted him to ascend to the throne. She had used her deep emotions to deceive everyone, but she did not expect that the King of Underworld would not move against her at all.

      Then why did she block the Emperor's sabre in the end? Shen Xin did not understand, since the distinguished empress wanted him to be the emperor, why would such an ambitious woman defend the King of Underworld? She had just given birth at that time, and she knew that if she blocked the knife, she would die for sure.

      Qin Ao shook his head. He had specifically investigated the situation back then and the only thing he could not figure out was this matter.

      CHAPTER 405 - TO SEND A WIFE A HORSE GOES MAD

      In conclusion, Shen Xin was still very happy. He knew that Qin Ao no longer needed to eat poisons, and could also use his internal energy. In the future, when he encountered danger, he would have the ability to resist. He could be said to be the product of a political battle between his parents. If his father did not love his mother, Qin Ao would only have her in the future.

      I've been here all along. Qin Ao was a man not bad, but he was still flesh and blood, Shen Xin knew that his heart was not as relaxed as it was on the surface. No matter how strong he was, he still needed encouragement.

      Mn, I still have Xin Er. Qin Ao never liked calling out Shen Xin's new name. Although there were many Lin Yun's in this world, he only had one. The two of them were fed up with each other for a long time. Shen Xin gave Qin Ao a thorough examination before he allowed him to leave the palace.

      Even though he knew that the Empress Jing Xian wanted to harm Qin Ao, Shen Xin still did not have any good impressions of the King of Underworld. When he came to visit the Longevity Palace once again, Shen Xin was still quietly standing behind the Imperial Concubine Zhang as the background.

      Lin Yun, if We remember correctly, you'll be fourteen after the new year, right? Lin Zhan did not see through Shen Xin's displeasure with him and only thought that she was afraid of strangers and took the initiative to ask him.

      To the Emperor, yes. The King of Underworld was his sworn enemy after all. It was already kind of him not to seek revenge, she replied and quickly lowered her head to look at the tip of her feet.

      She'll be old soon, and she'll be a big girl by now. The King of Underworld did not care about Shen Xin's actions, and changed the topic to talk to the Imperial Concubine Zhang instead. Shen Xin's heart skipped a beat, King of Underworld would not do something like swatting the couple, and say that she and Qin Ao were not worthy enough to get married, so they could get married, right? Don't do it, or she won't know what she'll do.

      After sending off the King of Underworld, Shen Xin packed his luggage and prepared to leave the palace. Tomorrow would be the day for Lin Jin to enter the Second Prince's Estate, and logically speaking, the side concubine was not allowed to enter the hall, but Lin Jin's side concubine was ordered by the King of Underworld. Originally, such a special side concubine should have been married off by the Secone Prince's main concubine, but Secone Prince had not even married off, so he was sent to the marriage by the female Fang family's son. But Lin's Mansion did not have a son, and in the end, the job was done by Shen Xin. With all the special circumstances, Shen Xin reckoned that she would become famous again. She might even become the first direct daughter of her own sister.

      Imperial Concubine, if you have a headache everyday, ask Big Sister Zai Sang to massage it for you. This subject's daughter has already taught the massage techniques to Big Sister Zai Sang. This subject shall take her leave. " Before Shen Xin left, he taught her the method of massage and silently pitied this old man. If she knew that the Empress Jingxian she liked the most was actually going to fight for the throne with her son, she would probably faint.

      Okay, be careful on the road. This one will have someone escort you back to the Lin's Mansion. Imperial Concubine Zhang nodded his head in satisfaction. The choice of his grandson's wife was not wrong, she was filial and capable at the same time. Shen Xin did not reject Imperial Concubine Zhang's good intentions. With Imperial Concubine Zhang protecting him along the way, he would be much safer.

      Finally returning to his home, Shen Xin was glad that he could sleep well now. Who knew how early she would have to get up at the Longevity Palace, she had to wake up before Imperial Concubine Zhang got up, and every day she would wake up to give the old man some time to think. If it wasn't for the fact that he had not reached his prime, Shen Xin would think that he was already married. In the past in the Great Qin, when the Empress Dowager Lin s didn't care about matters, the empress's status was the highest in the palace.

      Miss, don't sleep anymore. Have you forgotten what you're doing today? The next morning, Shen Xin was woken up by Tingyu. Crown Prince had instructed her that the young miss liked to sleep in peace. Shen Xin curled his lips. It was so painful to not be able to sleep well on the first night after returning home.

      Miss, after today, everything will be fine. From now on, you can sleep however long you want. Tingyu's martial arts were high, and the work on his hands was not bad either. Shen Xin could only inwardly complain about the number of broken rules in the Yiming. To think that there was actually a direct marriage gift from the direct, all of this was due to an imperial edict of the King of Underworld.

      Shen Xin rode on his horse dressed in red until the bride shouted, New bride, get on the palanquin! Shen Xin then lightly kicked the horse's abdomen, and the convoy that was escorting the bride slowly began to move. Second Prince's Palace was also located on Yiming Street. Shen Xin reckoned that it wouldn't be slow for them to end the marriage at this rate, so he endured it.

      It can't be? Shen Xin cursed in her heart. She was just a groom, but the horse was out of control. She wanted to tighten the reins, but she realized that the whine of the horse became even louder. The horse rushed forward like it had gone mad. Shen Xin's sleepyhead had scared away and she lost control of herself without even doing anything, which could only mean that the horse had been tricked by someone.

      Run, run, the horses are going crazy … The onlookers saw a horse crazily charging and the little girl on horseback was so petite. They couldn't control the horse's direction and all of them ran away.

      Shen Xin tried her best to stay calm while riding the horse. The horse was too fast, if she jumped off the horse, she would probably be severely injured, and many people would definitely die, so she could only kill the horse. Unfortunately, the horse was too fast and Shen Xin's silver needles were unable to strike at all. Even after stabbing it a few times, it still ended up in the wrong place, and this only served to enrage the berserk horse even more. Yes, silver hairpin! Shen Xin suddenly remembered that she had a silver hairpin on her head, so she quickly pulled it out and pierced it into the horse's throat. It was not soft at all, and Shen Xin realised that the horse was not afraid of pain, it was still running frantically.

      Zi ~ The spectators watched helplessly as Shen Xin pulled the silver hairpin out from the horse's body and stabbed it right into the horse's eyes. The horse first let out a long hiss, then lifted both its front legs as Shen Xin tightened his reins. Shen Xin looked around from the corner of his eyes, assessing his surroundings. He felt that there was no pain when he fell and immediately heard a loud Let go, jump! Shen Xin immediately let go of the reins and fell backwards, falling into a warm embrace not long after.

      Xin Er, are you hurt? When Qin Ao arrived, he saw that the horse was already in the sky with its legs. Luckily, Shen Xin immediately jumped back after hearing his words, he coincidentally hugged the horse, and due to the impact, one of his hands heavily smashed onto the ground. There was a lot of debris in
