Chapter 319 The lingering ghost
Chapter 319 The lingering ghost
If such a shameless person can advance to the next round, it would be the referee's fault for being blind.
How could such a weak person dare to sign up?
Shen Zhishu was bored watching it.
Then he got up and returned to the palace.
How could such a person be selected? He must have come here to disgust her on purpose, or to remind her that he was still here. Even if he left the palace, he could always find a hundred ways to appear in front of her. So was he trying to make her behave herself?
The next day.
Shen's father and mother went to the palace to visit her.
"Your brother's birthday is in two days. Seeing that he is getting another year older, mother is really worried about his marriage."
Mother Shen was a little melancholy.
My brother’s marriage...
Shen Zhishu thought of the person that Wanpin mentioned yesterday.
She and her brother were strangers, unless that was the Queen's intention.
She actually wanted to target her own brother?
Then we have to let my brother get married as soon as possible.
"Your eldest brother is a bit old after all, and our family is not very well-off. Mother is still worried about her future daughter-in-law... But in this election, if he can make it to the third round, he will be famous. We can take this opportunity to choose a daughter-in-law first. What do you think?"
Shen's mother said again.
So she didn't think her son could win in the end.
While others are going to war, she wants to use this opportunity to settle her brother's lifelong affairs.
That sounds pretty good.
"What mother said is true. My daughter has two good candidates here. Mother can try to contact them."
"Oh? I wonder which lady she is?"
Shen's mother was very interested.
Shen Zhishu immediately wrote down his name.
When Yunmeng was investigating the selected beauties in the previous selection, she asked her to check two women with very good reputations in her past life's memory.
One is Du Yanran, the daughter of Imperial Physician Du, and the other is Shangguan Xue, the only daughter of Shangguan Hu, a seventh-rank military general.
One is a female doctor who saves lives, and the other is a chivalrous woman who is skilled in martial arts and hates evil.
She and her brother are a perfect match.
Mother Shen's eyes lit up when she heard this.
"Didn't they participate in this year's talent show? I've also heard about these two kids from Mrs. Zhao. I heard that they have a good relationship with A Rui. I'll go to A Rui later and help take a look."
Mr. Shen beside him also nodded with satisfaction.
His daughter is much better at doing things than his son.
"Your brother didn't bring shame to the Shen family. He told us yesterday that he has entered the next round. I heard it is a literary test that will test military tactics. Three generals will go out to fight, and one must beat two to enter the next round. Only five people will enter the final round."
Speaking of this, Shen Wang still felt a little proud.
"Brother will definitely not let us down."
Shen Zhishu really didn't know much about military strategy and fighting, so he didn't have any suggestions.
Besides, how can her tricks compare to her brother's?
"Father, the Emperor told me about the holy monk Dao Ran before. He suspected that he was the real murderer of the murders in various prefectures. But the Mid-Autumn Festival has been over for a long time, and he has left the palace. Could it be that he is really innocent in the case of the butcher?"
If there was real evidence, shouldn't the person have been arrested long ago?
Why is he still on the competition stage this time?
So, does that mean he escaped again?
"of course not."
Shen Wang immediately shook his head.
But he looked around vigilantly and then lowered his voice.
"This matter... must not be publicized, but I can tell you that the emperor's methods are indeed powerful. The truth has been found out. It was indeed Dao Ran who did it. He is unforgivable and has been executed on the spot. However... the truth also concerns the reputation of the royal family. The emperor has blocked the news and is not allowed to publicize this matter."
"he died?"
Already dealt with secretly? Shen Zhishu was shocked.
The emperor was so ruthless and decisive in his actions, but she didn't even hear a word of it.
At that moment, she felt her heart trembling violently.
What if Dao Ran was forced into a desperate situation and framed her? She knew nothing and could not refute a word, so wouldn't she be forced into a desperate situation by him?
Or maybe, the emperor acted in such a way that he didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy?
At that moment, Shen Zhishu was extremely scared.
The other side of Yan Chu is that as a king, he is so ruthless and decisive, and does not give anyone any chance.
Recalling the sweet words he had said to her in the past, she almost thought that he was such a gentle and kind monarch.
And there is Dao Ran.
They were obviously dead, but they were on the stage again yesterday.
How did he deceive the emperor and do it so perfectly?
So he came to the palace yesterday to seek revenge?
"Why are you suddenly asking about that case?"
Shen Zhishu became nervous and didn't say a word for a long time.
The two elders noticed that something was wrong with her and were a little confused.
"Your Majesty mentioned it before. I am also curious whether he is the murderer. After all, it would be unbelievable if such a compassionate monk were a cruel murderer."
Her mind was in a mess, but she still dealt with her father subconsciously.
While Dao Ran is still alive, his family must not be told, otherwise who knows what crazy things that madman will do?
"The Emperor asked me to keep this a secret. You'd better not ask any more questions in front of him."
Shen Wang frowned slightly, as if he didn't believe what his daughter said.
But his habit has always been that if she doesn't say more, he won't ask more questions.
"My daughter knows that the most important thing right now is my brother's matter."
Mother Shen nodded and immediately said that she would take action as soon as she returned.
After the election, he will arrange to propose marriage to someone suitable.
It was not until evening that the two elders left the palace.
Shen Zhishu felt tired, so he went back to his room and took a nap.
When I woke up, it was already dark.
The light in the room was dim, and the candle was on the table, so there was a shadow by the window.
"Bitao."
After a good night's sleep, I felt weak all over and it was difficult to get up.
She called softly.
"woke up."
But the next second, a man's voice was heard from inside the house.
It was so strange that she was sure she had never heard it before.
The man walked up to her from the shadows.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and even his eyes were smiling.
"You... who are you? Why are you here? Bitao..."
Seeing that it was him, Shen Zhishu struggled and shrank into the corner.
But she quickly restrained her expression and pretended to be nervous and scared.
"Don't shout. If someone sees a man in your bedroom and the emperor hears about it, you won't be able to defend yourself and your reputation will be ruined."
But he was not afraid.
He even went to sit beside the bed.
You're crazy.
Seeing his actions, Shen Zhishu was furious.
But she just thought Dao Ran was dead, and she definitely didn't want to have anything to do with the man in front of her.
"Who are you anyway? What are you doing here?"
But he just smiled slightly, as if he was very familiar with her.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. I just came here to tell you that I really miss you and can't leave you, so... I have to think of a way to stay by your side forever."
He smiled gently.
