Chapter 19: Killing the Enemy (New Plot)
When Shen Chu opened his eyes again, he found himself on the bed, and heard low sobbing and begging for mercy not far away.
She frowned and managed to sit up.
Xie Ming, who had been sitting by the bed, immediately reached out and supported her when he saw this.
His palms were cold, and holding Shen Chu's wrist made her tremble slightly.
"Chu'er?"
Xie Ming's voice was very low and a little hoarse. Shen Chu was not surprised to hear the other party's voice.
Because the place where she woke up was Xie Ming's bedroom.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with me?"
Shen Chu spoke with difficulty, feeling a pain in his throat like a needle pricking him.
Hearing her words, Xie Ming's voice suddenly turned cold, "You have to ask her about this."
His gaze shifted from Shen Chu to the person kneeling on the ground sobbing not far away, and Shen Chu also looked over.
Then she saw the woman who looked 80% like her.
With tears streaming down her face, she looked quite pitiful.
Why are you kneeling?
"She did it?"
Shen Chu just fainted, but he didn't lose his memory.
Before she fainted, Xie An Ning's maid found a wooden puppet with her birth date written on it from the man's room. The puppet was covered with silver needles, and its purpose was very clear.
However, Shen Chu knew that her fainting had nothing to do with this villain.
The main reason why he fainted was because of Xie Anning's candy.
Why did An Ning do this?
Even now, Shen Chu still doesn't think Xie An Ning is harming her.
Based on her understanding of Xie An Ning, if she really wanted to do something, she would not reveal such a big flaw.
That was what An Ning deliberately let her know.
But why?
She soon found out.
Xie Ming, who was originally sitting on the edge of the bed, suddenly stood up and drew his sword from not far away. The sword with a cold glow suddenly appeared, frightening the woman kneeling on the ground so much that she dared not make a sound. Even her sobs became smaller, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
"Can Chu'er stand up?"
Not understanding why Xie Ming asked this, Shen Chu moved his legs and nodded, "Of course, Your Highness."
"That's good."
Where is the good?
The sun had just risen when Shen Chu was picked up by Xie Ming and gently placed on the ground. The solid wood floor was a little cold, and Shen Chu shivered for no reason when he stepped on it barefoot.
"Your Highness...what does this mean?"
Shen Chu was only wearing a snow-white inner garment. There was charcoal burning inside, so he wasn't cold. However, it felt a little strange to walk barefoot on the ground.
Xie Ming did not answer Shen Chu's words, but hugged Shen Chu from behind, and put the long sword that was originally in his hand into Shen Chu's hand.
Shen Chu, who vaguely felt something was wrong, wanted to struggle, but his hands were completely wrapped by Xie Ming.
Xie Ming's chin rested lightly on her shoulder, and Shen Chu could clearly feel the trembling of Xie Ming's chest with every word he spoke.
"She wrote your birthday on the puppet and stuck it with silver needles."
"I also found several pieces of paper with your name on them in her room."
"Without exception, each of those papers had the word 'death' written on it in bright red."
"Then you suddenly fainted. I have a reasonable suspicion that this was all because of her."
He spoke slowly, but with every word the person on the ground trembled more violently. Until Xie Ming's last word fell, the woman finally couldn't help but speak out, "Your Highness, Your Highness, I really didn't mean it, I... I..."
"I want to kill her."
Shen Chu's fingertips trembled slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to drop the sword in his hand.
Xie Ming noticed this action, and he used a little more force to wrap the hand around Shen Chu, making it impossible for Shen Chu to let go.
The woman's eyes widened when she heard this, bloodshot eyes crawling across them, and her voice was a little sharp, "Your Highness, Your Highness, aren't you going to make me the Crown Princess? You... must be joking, right?"
There was a cry in her voice. No matter how she planned, she never expected that Shen Chu was still alive!
She never expected that Shen Chu would be taken to the East Palace by Xie Ming and discover everything she had done!
The woman on the ground clenched her fists, her fingertips turning white from the force, and her eyes were filled with fear, resentment, and unwillingness.
When Xie Ming heard her words, his voice became even colder. "I only learned about the news of my appointment as a concubine not long ago. I sent someone to investigate and they unexpectedly found out that it was you."
"I didn't know that you had the final say in choosing my own concubine."
He held Shen Chu's hand, raised the sword, and gently placed the tip of the sword against the woman's throat. "My brother sent you here. I wanted to keep you for a while to see what my brother planned. But now I can't keep you."
The body behind him moved closer, and the voice that was originally only beside him now sounded directly next to Shen Chu's ears.
Shen Chu could even feel Xie Ming's lips gently brushing against her earlobe.
Her scalp felt numb, but Xie Ming didn't stop yet.
Only this time he was talking to her.
"I originally wanted to kill her... but then I thought it would be best if Chu'er did it herself."
As the last words fell, Shen Chu's eyes widened. Before she could react, Xie Ming exerted force with his hand, and the sharp sword blade easily cut the opponent's throat. Blood splattered out, staining not only Shen Chu's clothes red.
Even her face was splattered with blood.
Losing Xie Ming's control, the cold sword suddenly fell to the ground, making a crisp and sharp sound.
Shen Chu's mind was blank, and the blood on his cheek was still warm.
She wanted to raise her hand to wipe the blood off her face, but she couldn't lift her hand at all, as if it weighed a thousand pounds.
Xie Ming noticed that something was wrong with Shen Chu. He hugged her tightly in his arms, raised his hand and used his sleeve to wipe the blood splattered on her face, and suddenly felt a little regretful.
"Don't be afraid, it was me who did it, it has nothing to do with you."
He has so much blood on his hands, he doesn't care about losing one life.
But Shen Chu can't do it.

Fu Jinnian tossed and turned all night and finally decided to go down the mountain.
"Master, are you really going to the capital?"
Zhuifeng followed behind Fu Jinnian with a worried look on his face.
The master's martial arts skills are not very good. If he enters the capital without anyone to protect him, he will definitely suffer.
When Zhuifeng was considering whether to volunteer to follow his master to Beijing, Fu Jinnian patted his shoulder very naturally and said in a very natural tone, "You have to come with me. Don't think about being the boss in the mountains alone."
He packed up the things he needed to take, took Zhuifeng with him and went straight down the mountain.
After entering Beijing, he went straight to the palace. He was so bold.
The two men were dressed in formal attire and were hiding in a despicable manner under the high walls of the palace, whispering to each other.
"Master, are you going to break into the palace and look for someone?"
Are the guards inside and outside the palace just for show?
Looking around, Fu Jinnian felt that the defense here was the most lax. Hearing Zhuifeng's words, he showed disdain, "How is that possible? People need to learn to adapt."
