Demon Doctor Wild Concubine

  Night, silently welcoming the dawn, when a faint fish belly white appeared on the horizon, several ghostly figures appeared outside the Shuiyu Xuan.

  When they reached the gate of the courtyard, several people looked at each other and one of them stepped forward to gently push open the distant door, then tiptoed in, with the others following behind.

  Seeing the desolation in the courtyard, with nowhere to hide, several people couldn't help but furrow their brows. In the end, they had no choice but to hide behind the only osmanthus tree in the courtyard, poking out their heads and staring in the direction of the main hall, whispering among themselves:

  "They say that this new queen will be able to suppress the king's wife-killing fate, just like the rumors outside?" The person hiding at the bottom asked others with his head raised.

  "Who knows? They just said that, but I still hope the new queen can escape this calamity, so the rumors about the prince's killing his wives will also stop."

  "I also hope the princess is safe and sound. This time they opened a gambling house, I was pressing on her head, otherwise I would have no money to marry my wife in the future." Another fat man nodded in agreement.

  However, the words that followed made everyone cast contemptuous glances at him. Each person simultaneously hit him on the head with a watermelon, causing him to cry out in pain. Then, he turned his head around and angrily shouted at the crowd: "I don't believe none of you have balls!"

  "...Everyone was taken aback, and didn't immediately respond. After a burst of laughter, they all replied in unison, with an air of obviousness: "Of course we did. Otherwise, we wouldn't be hiding here with you."

  "Hmph!" The fatty rubbed his sore forehead, glared at them fiercely, and then said to the person who had spoken before him: "You're really hypocritical! You obviously want to win money, but you're using Prince Wang's words as an excuse."

  "You—" The man was furious, just about to stand up and scold the fatty, when suddenly a stern voice rang out from behind: "Who are you! How dare you sneak into the Shuiyu Pavilion?!"

  Several people were shocked and turned around in confusion, only to see Shuang Er standing behind them, her hands on her hips, glaring at them fiercely.

  "We... we're just passing by..."

  The fat man said that hypocritical person was explaining, but the words were so forced that even he himself didn't believe it, let alone others.

  Shuang Er cast them a glance, sneered and said: "You don't have to tell the truth, I'll go call my mistress, who is your princess, to come out and punish you for trespassing and offending her!"

  As soon as they heard that Shen Yunxi was going to come out and punish them, they didn't dare to tell the truth anymore. With a thud, they knelt down on the ground: "Miss, please spare us for the sake of being fellow servants."

  "So are you going to say it or not?!"

  "Let's talk! We came to the Shuiyu Pavilion to see if the princess is safe, because we all had a bet on it." After finishing speaking, everyone lowered their heads, feeling guilty, after all, betting on someone's life was not a glorious thing.

  However, who doesn't like wealth? Everyone wants themselves or their family to live a better life, but they don't have much ability, so they can only rely on these biased methods to make some small money.

  Rumors of their appearance at the Shui Yu Xuan had just reached her, and Tong Er's anger, which had just dissipated, suddenly flared up again. Her slender fingers pointed angrily at them: "Just now I was only trying to scare you, but I didn't expect you to actually use my mistress as a betting stake! Do you know what crime you would be guilty of if the prince were to find out?!"

  "Spare our lives, spare our lives! Please don't tell the king." The men were so frightened that they repeatedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, with beads of cold sweat appearing on their foreheads.

  Just then, Shen Yunxi walked out of the hall and saw this scene, so she came over, "Shuang'er..."

  "Miss." Shuang'er was about to scold her, but saw Shen Yunxi walking towards her.

  The few people kneeling on the ground heard Shuang'er's calling voice, and their bodies shook even more violently, thinking in their hearts that they were really finished this time.

  Shen Yunxi stopped and glanced at a few people before looking up at Shuang'er and asking, "What's going on here?"

  "Miss, do you know how despicable they are? They actually dared to bet on you. Now, sneaking into the Shuiyu Pavilion is just to see if you're still alive." Erniang said, pointing at the few people on the ground with a huff.

  Shen Yunxi nodded calmly and didn't get angry. Then he turned around and asked them, "Is the bet you made that I live or die?"

  "We'd rather die! Our bet is that the princess lives." The few men replied in terror, their entire bodies prostrating themselves on the ground.

  Shen Yunxi slightly hooked up the corner of her mouth and said, "Get up and go back."

  Several people seemed to disbelieve what they had just heard, slightly raised their heads and glanced at the person next to them, and only after getting a affirmative answer did they kowtow and thank her, "Your humble servant thanks Your Highness for not being punished."

  Then, he stood up, retreated three steps back, and only then turned around and walked out of the Shu Yu Xuan.

  Looking at the few people hastily leaving, Shuang Er discontentedly complained to Shen Yunxi: "Miss, how can you just let them off like this? They actually bet on you!"

  Shen Yunxi turned around, looked at Shuang'er, and smiled slightly. Her smile was so captivating that it could rival the beauty of the rising sun. She said, "Why not let them off? Although they bet on me, aren't they hoping I'll live? At least their hearts are kind, and I have no reason to spare them. What do you think?"

  Finally, he asked Shuang'er, but didn't wait for her to respond and headed towards the inner hall. As he walked, he said: "Don't stand there, go to the kitchen and bring back some breakfast."

  "Got it, miss." Shuang'er responded in a low and depressed tone, turned around and walked out of Suishou Xuan.

  In front of the hall, Shen Yunxi stopped in her tracks, turned around and watched as Shuang Er walked away with a sullen expression. She shook her head slightly, rubbed her sore left shoulder, and then entered the hall.

  She understands that Shuang'er is protecting her, but there are still many people in this world who want her dead! There are several around her, including Jing Xian and the black-clothed man. And those few people just now were only motivated by greed, but they were kind-hearted, and she was not a person who would think of ways to find trouble for others, so she had no reason to punish them.

  Thanks to the inquiries of these people, everyone in the Wang mansion knew that the new queen was still alive and well. They thought that indeed, this Miss Shen's life was quite tough, able to withstand the king's calamity of killing his wives.

  Then comes the question.

  Everyone gathered together to discuss whether this king would spoil this new queen.

  Some people say that she will be spoiled because it's not easy for the prince to find someone who can suppress his wife-killing fate, so he should spoil her well. If he misses this opportunity and lets her go, it won't be easy to find another princess.

  However, some people also say that it is precisely because of this that they will not be favored. Although the new queen suppressed his wife's luck, which man would want to be oppressed by a woman? Moreover, as soon as the new queen entered the house, she spoke out of turn to the king, saying that Shen Yunxi relied on her good fortune and dared to mention the king and dogs in the same breath. She truly did not know her place and was arrogant because of her 'good fortune'.

  In short, everyone has their own thoughts and expressions.

  Inside the Wang Fu, there was endless discussion about whether Shen Yunxi could gain favor. Outside the Wang Fu, rumors that Feng Qingchen was not human spread throughout the capital, but it was unclear who had started these rumors.

  This news soon reached Feng Qingchen's ears, and he was furious. He immediately ordered Long Wu to investigate the rumormonger!

  And at that moment, the first suspect who flashed into his mind was her, Shen Yunxi! Apart from her, no one dared to pluck hair from this old tiger's head!

  The hand placed on the desk slowly clenched into a fist, with blue veins bulging on the back of the hand, and a fierce light flashing in his dark eyes!

  Shen Yunxi, it's best if I don't find out that you're the one who did this. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died!
