Emperor Shen's charming wife

"Madam Ning? Which Madam Ning?!" Li Defu asked sternly.

"It's... it's..." The young eunuch was so frightened that he couldn't speak coherently, "It's... the newcomer..."

Li Defu's face turned pale when he heard this. He grabbed the eunuch by the collar and said angrily, "You idiot! Who gave you the courage to feed the prince so casually?!"

The young eunuch was so frightened that his soul left his body. He cried with a sad face: "Please spare my life, eunuch! I am just following your orders!"

"On orders? Whose orders?!" Li Defu was furious and wanted to slap this useless thing to death.

The young eunuch replied tremblingly, "It was... it was the maidservant beside Madam Ning. She said... that this was the ginseng soup that Madam Ning specially prepared for the prince, and she asked me to personally deliver it to the prince..."

Li Defu was so angry that he was shaking all over. He threw the young eunuch to the ground and said with gritted teeth, "What a Madam Ning! You have such a vicious heart!"

He knew in his heart that Madam Ning was clearly trying to take advantage of the opportunity to murder the prince!

Thinking of this, Li Defu became even more furious. He turned his head suddenly and looked at Shen Yu who was unconscious on the bed. A fierce look flashed in his eyes, "Someone! Capture that bitch for us!"

The man in black obviously underestimated Ning Xue's strength and was defeated again and again. He originally thought that she was just a delicate young lady who would only hide behind a man and tremble in fear, but he didn't expect that she would be ruthless and deadly in every move, and was actually a hidden martial arts master.

"You little bitch, you're quite capable!" the man in black shouted angrily, and with a flip of his wrist, a hidden weapon shot towards Ning Xue with a sound of breaking through the air.

Ning Xue dodged to the side, and the hidden weapon flew past her hair, cutting off a few strands of her hair. She backhandedly struck the man in black with a fierce palm, forcing him to retreat again and again.

"Who are you?" The man in black covered his chest and looked at Ning Xue in surprise and suspicion.

"The one who wants to kill you!" Ning Xue snorted coldly and rushed forward with fierce and merciless moves.

Shen Yu looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes full of shock and disbelief. He had never thought that Ning Xue, who was usually weak and vulnerable, could have such skills. He also did not expect that Ning Xue would risk her life to block this fatal blow for him.

"Ning Xue, you..." Shen Yu opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Ning Xue, however, seemed to have not heard his voice at all, and continued to fight with the man in black. Her movements became faster and faster, and her moves became more and more fierce. The man in black gradually lost the upper hand, and several bloodstains appeared on his body.

"Damn it!" The man in black cursed inwardly, knowing that today would not be a good ending, so he made a feint and turned around to escape.

"Want to leave? Not that easy!" How could Ning Xue let him escape so easily? She pointed on her toes and chased after him like a swallow.

Seeing this, Shen Yu didn't care about his injuries, struggled to stand up, and stumbled after him.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, quickly chased out of the palace and came to the imperial garden.

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the man in black simply stopped and turned around to fight Ning Xue to the death.

"You little bitch, you forced me to do this!" The man in black roared, took out a black spherical object from his arms, and threw it towards Ning Xue.

"Be careful!" Shen Yu's eyes suddenly turned red with anger when he saw this. He threw himself towards Ning Xue desperately, wanting to protect her under him.

However, it was too late.

The black spherical object drew a strange arc in the air and fell straight at Ning Xue's feet.

“BOOM!”

After a loud bang, flames shot up into the sky and the entire imperial garden was engulfed in a sea of ​​fire.

"Ning Xue!" Shen Yu's heart-wrenching roar was drowned out by the explosion. He was blown away by the huge shock wave and fell heavily to the ground. His eyes were blood red...

When Shen Yu woke up again, he found himself lying on a dragon bed, surrounded by imperial doctors and palace maids, but Ning Xue, whom he had been thinking about, was nowhere to be seen.

"Where is Ning Xue? Where is Ning Xue?" He struggled to get up, but was held down by Li Defu.

"Your Majesty, you're awake! You're finally awake!" Li Defu burst into tears and spoke incoherently with excitement. "The imperial physician said that you have lost too much blood and have internal injuries. You need to rest well and must not get angry again!"

"Ning Xue! I want to see Ning Xue!" Shen Yu grabbed Li Defu's collar, his eyes red, like a wounded beast, emitting a chilling murderous aura.

"Borrow money?" Shen Yu's slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a crisp sound. Again and again, it struck Li Defu's heart, making him even more breathless.

"Yes... yes, I heard that Madam Ning said that in the mansion... in the mansion..." Li Defu's voice became smaller and smaller, almost inaudible.

"What happened in the mansion?" Shen Yu raised his head suddenly, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"The palace... the palace is short of silver, and needs... needs some money to turn around..." Li Defu said with a stiff face.

"Ridiculous!" Shen Yu shouted angrily, "She is a first-rank imperial lady, in charge of the household affairs of the palace, how could she not be able to handle such a small matter? Is she deliberately shirking responsibility in order to extract information from the imperial concubine?"

Li Defu was so frightened that he trembled all over and quickly knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I dare not say anything nonsense, but..."

"What's this?"

"But I heard that Madam Ning seemed... seemed to be addicted to gambling and owed a huge debt, so..." Li Defu's voice became lower and lower, for fear that he would say something wrong and get into trouble.

"Gambling?" Shen Yu's face suddenly darkened, his eyes full of disgust, "She is so brave!"

Shen Yu could never have imagined that the once noble, elegant, dignified and virtuous Ning Yao would become like this now! Gambling? How could she think of that!

He stood up suddenly and walked out with big strides, "Go to Yikun Palace!"

Li Defu hurriedly followed, but secretly groaned in his heart, this Madam Ning was really good at causing trouble. She had only been quiet for a few days, but now she caused such a big commotion again!

……

Inside the Yiku Palace, Concubine Shen was leaning on the couch, holding a storybook in her hand and flipping through it casually.

"Your Majesty, what do you think Madam Ning wants to do?" the personal maid beside her couldn't help but ask.

"What else can she do? She just wants to get some benefits from me." Concubine Shen sneered, her eyes full of contempt, "She doesn't even look at her current status. How can she be so arrogant in front of me?"

"But... I heard that she came here this time to borrow money?" the palace maid asked with some confusion.

"Borrow money?" Concubine Shen put down the script in her hand and sat up straight. "She actually has the nerve to come to me to borrow money?"

"Yes, I also find it strange. She is the daughter of the Ning family and a first-rank lady. How could she..."

Before the palace maid could finish her words, she was interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps.

"The Emperor has arrived!"
