Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 219 Fatal Illusion

Shen Rushuang's voice echoed through Concubine Liu's ears.

Her whole body was shaking, and she couldn't accept or face it at all.

"Jieyu Liu, how can I not take you down?" Shen Rushuang suddenly laughed sinisterly.

Concubine Liu was strangled by Shen Rushuang, and she had to look into her eyes passively, only then she realized that Shen Rushuang's eyes almost didn't even have eyeballs.

It was like an abyss that was about to suck Concubine Liu in completely.

"It's not me, mother, it's really not me... It's not me... I am being controlled by someone." Concubine Liu was already confused.

He said all sorts of random things and was totally out of control.

Shen Rushuang suddenly became quiet: "Who is it? Who is controlling you? Who wants to destroy my Shen family?"

Shen Rushuang's voice became fierce and sharp, and her hand was pinching Liu Jieyu's neck again, questioning her with every word.

"Yes..." Concubine Liu almost blurted out.

But in this situation, Concubine Liu shuddered quickly, not knowing whether it was because the man frightened her too much or something else.

She actually stopped talking abruptly and refused to say anything.

"Speak." Shen Rushuang's voice was even more severe.

In Liu Jieyu's opinion, the skinny hand could pierce through her throat in the next second and kill her on the spot.

It's the fear of death and the tension about the surrounding environment.

"He is from the previous dynasty..." Concubine Liu trembled, "I don't know his identity either... I really don't know, he never tells me, never tells me."

Concubine Liu couldn't hold it in, and in such fear, she was completely devastated.

Shen Rushuang looked at him solemnly: "Why would someone from the previous dynasty do this? What is his purpose?"

"I don't know, I don't know..." Concubine Liu shook her head desperately.

Shen Rushuang didn't know whether she believed it or not, and her eyes were still gloomy as she looked at Concubine Liu.

Concubine Liu fell limply on the ground, and there were bursts of footsteps coming from outside the mourning hall. Perhaps the noise made in the mourning hall attracted the attention of people outside.

Concubine Liu also heard the noise and suddenly came to her senses, realizing what she had said.

Her expression changed, and the next second she saw Shen Rushuang, who was flickering in front of her, and she rushed over.

"Who are you? Stop playing tricks here!" Concubine Liu's voice became tense.

Then, Concubine Liu rushed to the ice coffin without thinking, to find out what was going on.

But it was more of an inner fear, not only because of seeing Shen Rushuang's ghost, but also because of what he had just said.

She didn't know whether these words would be known by that person and whether the Shen family would be implicated.

If the Shen family was implicated, Concubine Liu knew what her future would be like.

I'm afraid that the next person lying in this ice coffin will be me.

So Concubine Liu didn't care about her embarrassment and tried her best to dig out the corpse from the ice coffin and take a closer look.

Suddenly, the candle flame that had been completely extinguished was instantly lit by a gust of wind.

The ancestral hall became brightly lit again.

The door of the ancestral hall, which had been locked, was pushed open from the outside, and Shen Changsheng and Shen Yan led their men and walked quickly into the hall.

The ancestral hall was in a mess, with broken things everywhere, and there was no trace of Shen Rushuang's ghost.

Only Concubine Liu was like a mad woman, making a fuss in front of the ice coffin, and Shen Rushuang's body was dragged out of the ice coffin.

No matter what, even if Shen Changsheng condoned Concubine Liu to kill Shen Rushuang in the end, Shen Rushuang was Shen Changsheng's biological mother after all, and he naturally would not allow Shen Rushuang to die with discontent.

Moreover, there is an old saying in Yan State that if a person enters an ice coffin and is dug out, he will die with regrets in this life and will deeply curse the family and never have peace in the world.

Under such circumstances, Shen Changsheng looked at Concubine Liu in anger.

Shen Yan was slightly surprised. He never expected such a thing to happen.

"Sir, I..." Concubine Liu tried to explain.

Without saying a word to Concubine Liu, Shen Changsheng slapped her in the face. In this situation, Concubine Liu was knocked unconscious in the corner.

She covered her face and looked at Shen Changsheng in disbelief: "You hit me, you dare to hit me."

"This is my mother. She is already dead. You actually dug her out of the ice coffin. Do you know what this means?" Shen Changsheng said in an unusually gloomy tone, "Liu Jieyu, I think you are tired of living."

Only then did Concubine Liu realize what she had just done.

No, she didn't dig Shen Rushuang out of the ice coffin. Shen Rushuang had been outside the whole time.

But looking at everything in front of her, Concubine Liu herself was not sure.

Liu Jieyu kept shaking her head, trying to explain: "No, it wasn't me who did it. She, she, she...she just came out. She also threatened me...she also asked me who was the mastermind behind this matter..."

Concubine Liu was completely terrified.

So what did she just see?

"What did you say?" Shen Changsheng looked at Concubine Liu gloomily and asked every word clearly.

Concubine Liu covered her mouth and realized what she had said. This was the biggest taboo in the Shen family, which was to mention that person.

After all, that person is the most terrifying to the Shen family. He can make you disappear silently in Kyoto.

But she said it anyway.

"So what did you say!" Shen Changsheng roared, "Did you say everything?"

"I didn't say that, I didn't say that, I just said..." Concubine Liu explained in horror.

This time, even Shen Yan stood aside and remained silent. If it were any other day, Shen Yan would definitely help Concubine Liu.

Concubine Liu was terribly panicked and looked at Shen Yan passively: "Shen Yan, please speak up for your mother, hurry up, your father wants to kill me."

Shen Yan stood there, also motionless.

"What nonsense. Woman, you will destroy the Shen family sooner or later. Not only are you playing tricks here, but you are also talking nonsense!" Shen Changsheng scolded.

These words were spoken to the guards outside. These were the people who stayed behind in the Eastern Palace. They were to watch Concubine Liu and keep vigil, just like they had watched Shen Zhenzhen kneel as punishment before.

Concubine Liu shook her head desperately, with only fear in her eyes.

"I'm not talking nonsense, really. My mother came out just now. She came to look for me. All the candles here are out. It's pitch black around us, and there's a really strong wind." Concubine Liu explained, "By the way, there must have been thunder and rain outside just now, right? I heard it all."

Concubine Liu was no longer as calm as usual and was completely confused.

Shen Changsheng's face became even uglier when he saw Concubine Liu going crazy.

"It's always brightly lit here and it's calm outside, there's no wind or thunder! I think you're talking nonsense." Shen Changsheng slapped Concubine Liu twice without thinking.

Concubine Liu was beaten out.
