Your Highness, your wife has had her virginity mark applied and married someone else.

"what!"

The agonizing screams that penetrated to the bone were delayed by a moment before being unleashed in a heart-wrenching outburst!

The chains struggled violently, and Shen Yangjue convulsed in pain. Her hands, which she struggled to cover her eyes, were embedded in her flesh by the iron chains.

But it was nothing compared to the pain coming from my eyes!

"Shen! Ming! Shu! I will definitely kill you!"

"Don't rush." ​​Shen Mingshu held out her hand to the shadow guard: "There's still one eye left."

"Ugh—" The officers and soldiers were the first to be unable to bear it, covering their mouths and running out.

Although the shadow guard was masked, it was still clear that he had seen a lot of things. He respectfully handed the dagger to Shen Mingshu.

"I'll sign!"

The cold light in Shen Mingshu's hand flashed again, and Shen Yangjue was so frightened that she dared not be stubborn anymore.

She is a doctor herself and knew that her bleeding had reached the point of being life-threatening.

Shen Mingshu really wanted to kill her!

How could she! How dare she!

"Don't kill me, I'll sign anything..."

Shen Yangjue trembled as she looked into Shen Mingshu's eyes, her gaze filled with the despair and pain of seeing the King of Hell.

Shen Mingshu curled her lips into a smile, but there was no hint of amusement in her eyes. "Too bad your drool hasn't dried yet?"

Shen Mingshu's smile was devoid of warmth: "Or, shall we continue whipping and waiting?"

"No, no!" Shen Yangjue cried out in terror, "Go get new ones! I'll sign whatever you say! Just let the soldiers get new ones!"

Shen Mingshu refused: "No, I only like this one."

"..."

After fifty lashes, Shen Yangjue was barely breathing.

She was dragged onto the straw bed, and Shen Mingshu waved everyone away. In front of Wei Ziye, she dripped her own blood into the wound on Shen Yangjue's chest.

"Shen Yangjue, I keep my word and will make sure you die knowing the truth."

The dagger was still not drawn. Shen Mingshu looked down at her closely, staring intently at the dagger trembling with her spasms, a sickly smile playing on her lips.

"You're a doctor, you'll gradually feel it."

"I'll come back next time to take your other eye as payment, so you must wait for me."

"Ghost—" Shen Yangjue murmured through her blood-filled mouth, "You are the evil ghost."

Shen Mingshu leaned in to listen, then smiled with satisfaction: "Thank you for the compliment, see you next time."

Suddenly, Shen Yangjue's body began to convulse violently. She looked at Shen Mingshu's bright smile with despair and fear.

Shen Mingshu stared at her without blinking, her smile gradually softening.

"Was this Mother's last look? Very good—"

"Thud—" A sharp sword suddenly pierced through Shen Yangjue's neck.

Shen Mingshu's smile suddenly froze on her face.

Seeing Shen Yangjue's eyes widen as she coughed up blood, Shen Mingshu quickly took out a dagger, wanting to cut out more blood to save her life.

Shen Yangjue hasn't even suffered real punishment yet, how can she die so easily!

"Shen Mingshu, are you going to go mad with demonic possession?!"

Wei Ziye gripped the wrist holding the dagger tightly.

Shen Mingshu was pulled into Wei Ziye's arms. She watched as Shen Yangjue died, and in her anger, she grabbed a dagger and stabbed Wei Ziye hard!

"Wei Zi! Why do you think so!"

The sharp dagger plunged into Wei Ziye's shoulder. He neither dodged nor flinched, but simply watched Shen Mingshu shed tears.

"What right did you have to kill her! What right did you have to interfere! What right did you have to give her a quick death!"

"Get away! Don't touch me! Get away—ugh!"

His roaring mouth was once again silenced by thin lips. Shen Mingshu gripped the dagger tightly and bit down hard on his lips!

The dagger plunged a little deeper, but Wei Ziye's lips didn't get bitten.

He stepped back slightly, then grabbed her chin and kissed her more deeply and roughly.

Despite the danger posed by the dagger embedded in his shoulder, Wei Ziye maintained control through biting and rubbing.

His tongue forcefully pried open her tightly closed teeth, forcefully stealing all the breath from her mouth.

Shen Mingshu struggled, plunging the dagger deeper and harder, but he didn't budge an inch, holding her tightly in his arms and kissing her more fiercely, leaving no room for her to break free!

The warm, sweet scent mingled with their rapid, heavy breathing. Each of Wei Ziye's thrusts was accompanied by a violent impact, gradually wearing Shen Mingshu down until she completely lost her strength.

Her body went limp, and the hand that was tightly gripping the dagger slipped and fell onto his chest. Her fingertips weakly dug into his clothes, and Wei Ziye loosened his grip a little, slightly pulling his lips away, revealing a strand of saliva.

"Are you awake now?"

Tears trembled on her thick eyelashes. Shen Mingshu's eyes were unfocused as she looked down at the saliva on his thin lips, her voice broken and hoarse.

"Wei Zi, I hate you."

Wei Ziye hooked his arm around her waist, turned her around, pressed her against the wall, his forehead pressed against hers, and his hot breath sprayed heavily on her face.

Breathing softly, she said, "Me too."

As he spoke, he grabbed the back of her neck and assaulted her once again.

……

Lu Yanzhi, waiting outside the Dali Temple, sat in the carriage and watched as Lord Zhang finished hearing the case, the officials and soldiers left the yamen, and the sun began to set in the west, but he still couldn't wait for Shen Mingshu to appear.

It wasn't until the Lu family's personal servant rushed in, reporting, "Young Master, something terrible has happened! The head of the household has become enraged and ordered you to immediately recall all the shadow guards. He's even used family discipline!"

Lu Yanzhi's fingers tightened: "What happened at home before this?"

The personal servant hesitated and looked up: "Young Master Wei the Second entered the master's study."

"..."

Lu Yanzhi glanced at the Dali Temple one last time and ordered the coachman, "You wait here until A-Shu comes out, tell her what happened, and take her safely back to the academy."

Coachman: "Yes, young master."

The personal servant reminded him, "Young Master, where are the shadow guards?"

Lu Yan got off the carriage and boarded the one he had brought, saying in a calm voice, "I've given it away."

"..."

……

The coachman waited for Shen Mingshu after the meal.

He strode forward, about to speak, but was stunned by the state of the three people before him.

Shen Mingshu was relatively normal, except for some redness and swelling around her eyes, there was no other change.

However, Wei Ziye and the Shadow Guard, one had blood on his shoulder, and the other had many cuts on his clothes from sharp swords, but no blood was seen.

So the reason we waited so long was because the Shadow Guard ambushed Wei Ziye, and Wei Ziye, wanting revenge, only managed to tear his clothes.

"What about Yan Zhi?" Shen Mingshu asked, puzzled.

The driver quickly explained what Lu Yanzhi had asked him to do.

Upon hearing that Lu Mingqi was going to recall the shadow guards, the shadow guard beside her was stunned for a moment: Then why is he still here?

Shen Mingshu looked at the shadow guard with a puzzled expression: "Where is your companion?"

The shadow guard bowed and said, "Fifth Miss, I only obey Yu Pei's orders."

Shen Mingshu looked at the jade pendant at her waist, nodded, and then looked at the coachman: "Can you take me to the palace to see the Empress Dowager?"

"Huh?" The sudden question startled the coachman.

How could a mere coachman enter the palace and even meet the Empress Dowager? Shen Mingshu is far too adept at employing people.

The coachman shook his head hesitantly: "Why don't you wait for the young master?"

There was no time to wait. Shen Yangjue was dead. If they didn't go to see the Empress Dowager now, they would only incur her wrath.

Shen Mingshu couldn't help but look at Wei Ziye, and said irritably, "Are you leaving or not?"

If he hadn't been in heat and acted like a rogue, how could Shen Mingshu have let him fight with the Shadow Guard? And how could she have known that he would suddenly decide to test the Shadow Guard's abilities, and they would end up playing until midnight!

Fortunately, he was the one who killed the person, and Shen Mingshu didn't believe that he could explain things clearly without taking her with him.

Wei Ziye gestured to his carriage: "Get in."

Shen Mingshu remained somewhat wary: "I'll get in this one."

Seeing the blush on her neck, Wei Ziye smiled faintly: "Either take mine, or go wherever you want."

"..."
