A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 384 Entering the Palace (Bonus Chapter for Donations)
Just as the lead orc was about to search him, he was suddenly blasted several meters away by a terrifying force. A metallic taste rose in his throat, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
Xue Yinzhou stood in front of Shen Tang, his cold eyes glaring at the group of soldiers who were courting death. His deep purple eyes were filled with a chilling aura, as if if they dared to take another step forward or touch her, they would lose their hands!
“Yinzhou…” Shen Tang tugged at his sleeve and sighed inwardly.

She didn't want him to be in the public eye like that, but she knew she couldn't stop him.

Xue Yinzhou was holding back; otherwise, this man would have been dead long ago.

The officials were terrified and dared not lay a hand on them again.

Someone tried to smooth things over, saying, "Hey, they're a couple, their partner! What male would stand by and watch another male touching his partner inappropriately? Well, I don't see anything wrong with it, let them go, let them go, hurry up and leave!"

These bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong, quickly let them go.

It came suddenly, and it left suddenly.

Shen Tang felt very strange. They had clearly checked at the city gate, so why were these people suddenly checking again?

She noticed that other spaceships from other regions didn't receive the same treatment.

It seemed more like someone had deliberately sent officers and soldiers to make things difficult for them.

Shen Tang touched his face, relieved that his identity hadn't been discovered. At the same time, he opened the system map to track the departing soldiers.

Soon, she saw the leader of the soldiers go to the city gate, where a tall and burly figure was hidden under a tree.

The officer saluted and respectfully replied, "Reporting to Lord Qiu Yang, I have already led my men to conduct a thorough search. There was indeed only cargo on the spaceship, and all the cargo boxes were opened and searched. There was nothing suspicious hidden there. I checked everyone on the spaceship as you instructed, and the person you mentioned was not there."

Qiu Yang frowned. Could it be that he was being too paranoid?
He waved his hand, dismissing the orc.

Just as Qiu Yang was about to leave, he paused, suddenly sensing someone watching him.

His cold, sharp eyes stared straight in one direction!
That feeling vanished in an instant.

Qiu Yang frowned even more, and rubbed his temples. It seemed that he had been under too much mental stress lately and was experiencing hallucinations.

……

On the other side, Shen Tang suddenly staggered, her face pale, cold sweat beading on her forehead, her eyes filled with terror.

She quickly retrieved the spatial map, no longer daring to explore it carelessly!
That orc was a powerful tenth-tier orc! He could even faintly sense the system's power!?

What shocked her even more was—

The orc called Qiu Yang stood in the shadow of the tree. It was dark, so she couldn't see him clearly, but Shen Tang recognized the strange yet familiar figure and the powerful aura emanating from him.

He was the leader who led the assassination attempt on her and Shen Li at the volcano that day!
Shen Tang was certain that she hadn't misjudged!
She was terrified and in agony at the time, and the impression was so profound that even though the person was wearing robes that covered his face, she wished she could etch his image into her mind forever.

Even if that assassin were reduced to ashes, she would never mistake him!
But didn't those assassins perish in the fire? Why are they still alive?

The fact that the officers and soldiers treated him with such respect was enough to show that he held a very high position in Yiyuan!
Was he also one of the emperor's men?
At this moment, Shen Tang's mind was a jumbled mess, and she couldn't sort it out no matter what she did. Her face was pale and her breathing was rapid.

She felt as if her heart was being gripped tightly by a giant hand, and she could hardly breathe!
"Tangtang, what's wrong?" Xue Yinzhou noticed that she was not in a good state, so he quickly picked her up and carried her back to her room on the spaceship.

Shen Tang buried her face in his chest, clutching his collar tightly. It took her a long time to calm herself down. Her voice was low and hoarse as she said, "I...I'm fine."

How could she be alright in that state?

Xue Yinzhou lifted her face, making her look directly at him, and said softly, "Tangtang, do you remember what you said to me before? From now on, you will never lie to me, otherwise..." Shen Tang was stunned.

Xue Yinzhou lowered his head and kissed her lips, saying softly, "Even if you lie to me, I would gladly accept it, but I am your partner, and I have the right to know what you are afraid of and what you are worried about."

Shen Tang moved her lips, and finally decided to tell him everything that had happened, including how she had used her "mental power" to bump into Qiu Yang.

Shen Li's departure was a lifelong pain for her. Her husbands, fearing to remind her of her painful memories, had deliberately avoided mentioning the matter and were not entirely clear about what had happened that day.

After listening to Shen Tang's account of what happened, Xue Yinzhou also found the matter very suspicious.

His eyes darkened, but he didn't say anything more. Some things would become clear once they arrived at the palace.

After entering the capital city, the boss arranged for them to check into a pre-booked hotel and get a good night's rest.

As night fell, Shen Tang tossed and turned, pondering how to enter the palace, especially how to meet the mysterious emperor.

There were so many things she wanted to figure out.

Shen Tang had a premonition that as long as she met the legendary emperor, many things would be resolved.

She came with the caravan, but the owner was in the city on business and did not have the right to enter the palace, let alone meet the emperor with his entourage.

With one exception.

This was a solution that Jialan came up with for her.

That is, to present treasures to the emperor.

Although one cannot meet the emperor directly, this reason can be used to gain entry into the palace.

The treasures will be handed over to the officials in charge of ceremonies, who will stay in the palace for half a day to a day. If the emperor appreciates them, they can stay for even longer, giving them ample time to complete their plans.

Jialan had also made arrangements for her in advance.

Before coming here, Jialan handed over the "treasure" to the boss. It was something he had secretly taken from his mother's treasury and had not been discovered yet.

The boss was naturally happy to cooperate, since he was currently worried about how to expand his business. If he could please the local emperor, things would be much simpler!
Shen Tang didn't need to worry about anything at all; after the boss contacted and discussed it with Jia Lan, the matter was taken care of.

Soon, news came from the palace that he would be entering the palace in three days.

These past two days, Shen Tang has been busy with business matters alongside her boss and others, and her every move has taken on a more down-to-earth, everyday air. Coupled with her changed appearance, she looks no different from an ordinary vendor.

Three days later, Shen Tang went to the palace with her boss.

The Yiyuan Empire is indeed incomparable to a small empire like the Yehui Empire. Its palace is many times more magnificent and imposing than the old palace of yesteryear, and it is comparable to the palace of the Sea Kingdom.

They went to a secluded side hall.

Taking advantage of the conversation between the boss and the official in charge of etiquette, Shen Tang found an excuse to go out for a walk and get some fresh air.
