Chapter 637: Failure (1)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The women in Xunyang City did not die. They were replaced by female corpses that Liu Piaopiao had found everywhere.

As for some characteristics or marks that Pinellia and the others recognized, they could only say…

If there were similarities, it was purely a coincidence.

According to Liu Piaopiao, it wasn’t that she hadn’t thought of reporting it to the authorities when she first entered the Fragrant Teahouse. However, she quickly dispelled this thought.

Putting aside whether she could enter the Imperial Capital alive, even if she saw the official, how could she guarantee that the other party was not on Shangguan Pu

t

s side? Or would the other party dare to offend a prince?

Most importantly, what should she do about the poison in those women?

Later on, the people sent by Shangguan Pu couldn’t stop Song Jingchen from entering the capital. Just in case, he decided to eliminate all the girls from Xunyang City.

In order to accept this mission, Liu Piaopiao even took the initiative to consume the Heart Devouring Poison.

This was also why Shen Yijia was conflicted.

“Bruiser isn’t a child anymore. We can let him decide for himself.” Song Jingchen rubbed her head.

Shen Yijia thought about it and agreed. She thought of something and quickly got out of Song Jingchen’s arms. She ran to the table and opened the bag on it. There were a few thick ledgers inside.

“And she gave me this.”

Shen Yijia presented the ledger to Song Jingchen as if it was a treasure.

It was not for nothing. Liu Piaopiao found a limited amount of medicine to suppress the Heart Devouring Poison in Lord Jing’s residence, so she suggested that she provide the antidote to those women as a deal.

Song Jingchen raised his eyebrows and opened it. When he saw what was inside, his eyes narrowed.

“This record contains information about the intermediate officials that Shangguan Pu has used those women to gather over the years, as well as their interactions.” Shen Yijia smiled and pointed out the names of the officials in the booklet. ‘With this, we can threaten these people.”

The first thing she thought of was not to give the booklet to the emperor to punish those officials, but to turn Shangguan Pu’s connections into Song Jingchen’s.

Song Jingchen was stunned.

Shen Yijia thought that he did not agree. She blinked and advised, “Didn’t you say that there are no fish in clear water? If these people die, who knows if the officials who replaced them will be vermin again? They might as well leave these controllable vermin behind.”

If used well, who said that vermin could only harm people?

Besides, they had done something bad. Wouldn’t it be letting them off easy if they died so easily?

She should let them live in fear. At the same time, they should atone for their past actions.

The more Shen Yijia spoke, the more she felt that she made sense.

Song Jingchen chuckled. “You’re right.”

His wife had grown up.

Shen Yijia was a little embarrassed by his gaze. She changed the topic and complained, “Shangguan Pu asked her to capture me and threaten you. He even sent someone to our house. He probably felt that it wasn’t enough to capture me alone and wanted to capture Mother and the others.”

In the end, the people he sent saw the living emperor first. Fortunately, she returned in time. Otherwise, the useless emperor would have died.

“Are you injured?” Song Jingchen put down the ledger and pulled Shen Yijia to examine her.

“No, no.” Shen Yijia spun around and scratched her head guiltily. “I… saved One Dot with spiritual liquid.”

At that time, One Dot was only left with his last breath. She didn’t have time to think.

Song Jingchen paused and asked with a frown, “The emperor saw it too?” “No.” Shen Yijia quickly waved her hand.

At that time, the dog emperor was so frightened that he covered his head and scurried away. He was probably not even sure if One Dot was injured. However, the four Mahjong Brothers present definitely knew.

There was a sudden knock on the door. Killing intent flashed across Song Jingchen’s eyes. “Come in.”

MO Yuan and One Dot walked in.

Without waiting for Song Jingchen to speak, the four of them knelt down.

“What are you doing?” Shen Yijia asked suspiciously.

MO Yuan glanced at the four of them and said expressionlessly, “They asked me to make a poison that can control people like the Heart Devouring Poison. I don’t dare to make any decisions on my own.” Shen Yijia gritted her teeth. Was this a show of loyalty?

“Sure, ” Song Jingchen said.

One Dot and the others heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank you, Master.”

Seeing that they seemed to be quite happy, Shen Yijia was completely speechless.

As soon as they sent them away, South Wind knocked on the door again.

“Master, that person is awake and wants to change back.”

The night fell, and the silence of the Hidden Spirit Temple was broken by a sharp voice.

“Someone, come quickly. His Majesty… His Majesty!” Eunuch Li and Eunuch Deng shouted as they ran.

Their voices were filled with fear. Coupled with the emperor’s original physical condition, everyone who heard him thought that the emperor was dead and shouted in confusion..
