Tian Sheng Monster Hunting

Chapter 16
"It seems that I shouldn't be here today. His Highness not only disregarded his own safety to provoke disputes, but also made friends with monsters."

Sheng Yang was also taken aback, she knew Duan Yuzhi too well, he hated the demon to the bone.She knew that he was really angry the moment she saw Chiyu.

Chiyu pursed her lips and smiled, "Teacher Duan, I didn't expect to meet in such a way. I am Chiyu, the daughter of the cat demon Chili from the Luozhou cat demon clan."

Sheng Yang was a little surprised by her self-reported family background, but seeing Duan Yuzhi's cold face and no reaction, Chiyu shook her head in disappointment.

"Your Excellency forgets so much."

Duan Yuzhi only glanced at her hastily. He could definitely believe that it was a cat demon, and with years of experience, he could smell the blood on her body.

"You killed Sheng Feiyu?"

"I made her kill it."

Before Chiyu could speak, Sheng Yang said calmly.

"Where's Miss Cen?"

"I made her kill it too."

"well……"

Duan Yuzhi clenched his fists tightly, staring at Sheng Yang without saying a word, seeing Sheng Yang's eyes meeting him with no waves in his eyes, a thought came to his mind, maybe he had never understood her for so many years.

In the early morning of the next day, the town government held a funeral, white cloth was hung all over the street, the shops on the street were ordered to close, and white lanterns were hung up to show respect for the town government. However, all the officials in the court were present, even the second prince, who usually did not deal with the Duke of Zhenguo, also came.

"Duke Zhen, my condolences."

Lord Zhen Guo paid his respects to him, but his steps stumbled a little. The Sheng family in Qingzhou was his only direct descendant, and he was the only son. This is the real end, which is a great blow to their Sheng family.He repented and hated, he regretted that he should not have sent his only son away due to the situation, and he hated that the death of a little maid in the princess mansion had caused such a big consequence, costing his son's life.

As soon as the second prince left, the prince also came late. He has always had a gloomy personality and was unpredictable. At this moment, his face was covered with a layer of mist, without any expression. He put on a stick of incense and said openly to Zhen Guo, "Uncle, my condolences."

Duke Zhen hesitated to speak to him, and sighed deeply. If it wasn't for protecting his good nephew, how could his son fall into such a situation!
"My brother's death made me very sad, but why did I find out?"

Thinking of his son's death, Duke Zhen's eyes immediately burst into tears, and he said in a trembling low voice, "He was killed, the prince must uphold justice for your brother!"

"Didn't my uncle arrange someone to protect my younger brother?"

"That's right! I hate the gangster, he's so daring, he's actually in the villa that Hu Yuan set up for him, and Hu Yuan was still cleaning him up that night!"

The crown prince was silent for a moment, and said for a moment, "Bold and bold, my brother is the only child of our Sheng family, and if you move him, you are challenging our Sheng family."

Duke Zhen was startled, the death of his only son took away his mind, and he didn't have the time to think about the things behind it.

"Who does your Highness think?"

"Second child?"

"So blatant? My son has never participated in political affairs, so why do you kill me next time! Why can't you come at me, an old man!"

"Uncle, don't be in a hurry, it's not necessarily true." He thought for a while, "Shengyang has been acting a lot recently, and the maid who died a few days ago is very strange."

"Her target is indeed my son. It's just that they have already divorced and have nothing to do with each other. Why bother to kill them all? It will only increase the dispute!"

"They have been walking very close recently. Last year, the Secretary of Public Security changed his commander..."

His eyes darkened, as if he had confirmed something.

"Your Highness means...the second prince and..."

"Princess Shengyang is here."

There was a notification sound coming from outside the door. Just hearing the name, Lord Zhen couldn't hold back his face anymore. His son's death must have something to do with this witch!

Sheng Yang is wearing a white dress with tassels on the skirt. At first glance, it looks low-key and simple, but it is still gorgeous when you look closely.She wore light makeup today, with a simple bun on her head, and a white magnolia flower that Xin'er had just picked. She dressed up this time carefully, and restrained her usual superior expression on her face. In a sign of sadness, he bowed slightly to Duke Zhen and lit a stick of incense.

"Duke Zhen, my condolences."

"Your Highness, you don't dare to offend the Sheng family." He gritted his teeth, seeming to mean something.

Sheng Yang is in a good mood today, so he doesn't care about him, so he turns to say hello to the prince, "Third brother."

"younger sister."

The prince nodded. Her younger sister was domineering. He had seen madness before. She could do whatever she wanted, not to mention in the palace, she walked sideways throughout Pingyang.It's just that she never walked around with her brothers, and never asked about court affairs. She really didn't understand why she suddenly sent a maid to inquire about him. It seemed that she was indeed related to the second child.

"Third Brother, Second Brother and Fourth Brother, have you ever been here?"

"Second brother has been here, why does my sister suddenly care about them?"

"Casual question, last time I went to the second brother's house for a drink, and I had a good chat with the second brother's concubine, and I thought that if she came today, I would talk to her a few more times, so I don't need to send another maid The message has been sent."

"I heard that the second brother has a side concubine, and he loves him very much. My sister has a good relationship with that side concubine?"

"Since she came to Pingyang to enter the second brother's house, she has been dating for a long time. Speaking of the maid who had an accident in my house a few days ago..."

She suddenly covered her mouth, as if she had felt a slip of the tongue in shock, and brought up the matter before the deceased son.

The prince patted her on the back and said softly, "Sister, it's okay, just say it."

He looked at Duke Zhen, who was struggling to exchange greetings with other courtiers.

"It's just a little thing..."

"Third brother is just chatting with you about family matters. Since you moved out of the palace, the palace has become somewhat deserted."

Sheng Yang sighed, "Hey! I also want to go back to the palace, and be protected by the real dragon spirit of my father and second brother. The third brother doesn't know about it. After such a thing happened, Sheng Yang hasn't slept peacefully for nearly a month. .”

The prince couldn't tell the change in makeup, but today Sheng Yang's domineering eyes drooped, and there was no blood on his face and mouth. He looked so pitiful, as if he had really suffered great mental torture.

"Sister, don't be afraid. I'll order someone to deliver some ambergris to your house tomorrow. It's most soothing."

"Thank you, third brother," she seemed to slow down a bit, looking into the distance with empty eyes, as if recalling something, "Second brother has always been strict, not as gentle as third brother. In the past, my maidservant loved to go to the second brother's house The one who helped me pass the message to my side concubine... No one else dared to go, for fear of being scolded by my second brother, but she was the only one who was willing. The first time I went, she was even beaten. Later, for some reason, Xu became acquainted with the second brother's house , but I often take the initiative to invite Ying to go... Cen'er is very well-behaved, and has been with me for 20 years."

The crown prince seemed to be lost in memory too. He and Cen'er had a romantic relationship. Cen'er was bewitched by him and betrayed his master for 20 years. He must have put some thought into it.

"The Sri Lankan has gone, my sister must pay attention to her health."

"Teacher Duan is here!"

Duan Yuzhi came in with a solemn expression, and he saw a strange scene in his eyes. The prince patted Sheng Yang's back with a loving face, as if comforting a wounded cat, while Sheng Yang leaned slightly beside him, with eyes full of tenderness. With sadness.

She was slightly startled when she heard Duan Yuzhi's name, but she was still cooperating with the prince in acting. She glanced at him slantly, and saw him strode in with a downcast face.

"Prince, princess."

Only then did the prince reluctantly put his hands off his younger sister, "Teacher, my younger sister is in a bad mood recently. You have taken good care of her since she was a child. Have you been negligent recently?"

Duan Yuzhi stared at Sheng Yang for a moment, "It's my negligence, but I have a family now, and the princess has not yet left the cabinet, so it's inconvenient to get too close. I'm afraid it will damage the princess's reputation, so it's better to keep a distance."

Sheng Yang resisted the urge to kick him, and gave him a hard look.

"Teacher is right. It's just that my sister has treated you as a teacher and a friend since childhood. You should not be too negligent and chill her heart."

Duan Yuzhi didn't answer, just nodded inaudibly, strode to the coffin, lit a stick of incense, and said a few words of relief to Duke Zhen, saying that the Holy One sent him here specially.

"His Majesty values ​​Zhen Guogong's family very much. The case has been handed over to Dali Temple. Zhen Guogong can rest assured that Duan will definitely give his son an explanation."

This incident hit Zhen Guogong very hard. Sheng Yang felt that he had a few more gray hairs in front of his hair, and when he talked to Duan Yuzhi when he mentioned the Holy One, his hands trembled uncontrollably, as if he had been greatly wronged.

Duan Yuzhi raised his head to face Zhen Guogong who was quite moved, but his eyes went over the top of Zhen Guogong's head, to Shang Shengyang's mocking eyes, and the smile that she hadn't had time to put away in the corner of her mouth.

Sheng Yang closed his eyes slightly, Duan Yuzhi stared at her distractedly, eyes that could see her through, mixed with disappointment, pity, anger, jealousy, there were many emotions in the eyes, but they all passed in a flash, turning back to a deep pool Visible water, calm and indifferent.

After this moment, he hurriedly saluted without raising his head, and left without saying a word.

Sheng Yang looked at his back, a little dazed, but then looked up at the white cloths all over the street. The death of his mother and brother back then should have been more sensational than this, and it should be a white thing... But because of the indecent appearance of the death, The cause of death was unknown, which shamed the royal family. A piece of white cloth and two wooden plaques were dismissed hastily. He was alone in a small courtyard in the temple, and no one asked him... But he, Sheng Feiyu, had killed so many daughters of good families, and he was still accepted by the courtiers. Worship, the scenery of death is very beautiful!

Concubine Sheng, Crown Prince, Duke Zhen, this is just the first step. You will pay back what you owe to the Wen family sooner or later.
