Evil of all ages

Chapter 218 Accepting fate
At the entrance of the imperial prison
Shen Zhonghe saw Nie Yang and the other person come out.

He immediately greeted her with a warm smile.

"Humph~"

"I thought you were really afraid of the curse, and didn't even dare to step into the Heavenly Prison."

“Even if I disobey the Empress’s orders, even if I threaten you with the words of truthfully reporting, you still act as if you have nothing to fear.”

"So that's what gives you your confidence."

"You've been hiding it well!"

Despite Shen Zhonghe's smiling face, Nie Yang's displeasure did not dissipate so easily.

"No, no, it's all just to survive."

Shen Zhonghe knew that Nie Yang still harbored resentment, so he smiled apologetically.

"A corrupt official like you is not someone the Ghost King would personally go to your residence to subdue."

"Even corrupt officials are afraid of death, let alone a super-corrupt official like you. You certainly wouldn't dare to go near the South City Prison."

"How did you get subdued by the Ghost King?"

You can't hit someone who's smiling, and besides, Shen Zhonghe was one of his own, so Nie Yang gradually let go of the resentment in his heart.

How could a corrupt official like Qi Shenzhonghe catch the eye of Lord Ghost King?

Is it simply because Shen Zhonghe is the Empress's man and holds a high position?

"You're half right."

“I am afraid of death. Precisely because I am afraid of death, I not only approached the South City Prison, but also took the initiative to enter the South City Prison to find the Ghost King.”

Shen Zhonghe replied with a smile.

"You said you sought out Lord Ghost King on your own initiative?"

Not to mention Nie Yang's surprise, even Wan Guiyi found it unbelievable that Shen Zhonghe had taken the initiative to seek the Ghost King's subjugation.

This behavior is completely unlike what a corrupt official would do.

Whether I am a corrupt official or not depends on His Majesty's needs.

"I was greedy for His Majesty's sake, and almost all the money I embezzled went into His Majesty's treasury."

"That's why His Majesty protected me even when I was extremely greedy."

“But I know that His Majesty is old, and the day His Majesty passes away will be the day I am buried with him.”

"So I secretly pledged allegiance to the Empress, and under the orders of both His Majesty and the Empress, I was placed to work for the First Prince."

"But I'm afraid of death, especially since I know my place. If the Empress has the last laugh, I'll just be a dog by her side."

"A dog that can bring in wealth can also be a vicious dog that can bite."

"It all depends on Her Majesty the Empress's needs."

"If Her Majesty the Empress can continue to hold power, I probably won't have any thoughts about it."

"But I am a corrupt official, and the Empress is a wicked empress who brings disaster to the country. The corrupt official and the wicked empress together are like a group of flags stuck all over their bodies."

"For this, I risked everything and stepped into this prison."

"And then I guessed right."

Shen Zhonghe said.

Nie Yang and Wan Guiyi exchanged a glance. It turned out that Shen Zhonghe was not the corrupt official they had imagined; he was merely trying to survive.

"I've prepared an excuse to deal with Her Majesty the Empress. Listen carefully."

……

Ziyun Palace

When Xu Yunxue saw the three return, she told them to dispense with formalities and wait for their reply.

"Your Majesty, Chief Prisoner Huang was neither in the South City Prison nor in his residence last night."

Xu Yunxue's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, but her heart was stirred.

He kept muttering to himself:

It can't be him, right?
No way?
……

"He went to the ghost market."

Shen Zhonghe reported.

"Ghost market?"

What was he doing at the ghost market?

Xu Yunxue had already increased her suspicions about the Ghost King's son in her mind, but then Shen Zhonghe said that the Ghost King's son had gone to the Ghost Market.

This made her heart flutter.

"Go...go buy sexy lingerie..."

Shen Zhonghe replied.

"Spend the whole night in the ghost market, or...?"

When Xu Yunxue heard that they were going to buy sexy lingerie, she thought it was perfectly normal for a man to buy that for his wife to wear.

"All night long, from what he said, he stayed at a place called a swimming club all night."

Shen Zhonghe replied, "Has his Ghost King father recently come to the palace?"

Xu Yunxue continued to press for answers.

He said his father rarely left the prison. Even when he went out, he could only stay outside for about half an hour before he had to return to the prison.

Shen Zhonghe replied.

Can they only move around for about half an hour?

Xu Yunxue's brows furrowed. If this was true, then the person who defiled her was not the Ghost King.

Because the person who defiled her tormented her for far more than half an hour.

But she feared that this was false information deliberately given by the son of the Ghost King.

She thought for a moment, then waved for Shen Zhong and the other two to leave, and continued to review the memorials.

Night falls
She finally finished revising all the memorials for the day before 9 PM.

I'll just grab something to eat.

After moving to another palace, she soaked in the bath with the help of palace maids.

Then the familiar scene unfolded again.

Granny Lian appeared and left with everyone around her.

This time is different from last time.

Because she had already given instructions to Granny Lian and the others.

If she gives the order next time, one person needs to stay in the room and everyone else should leave.

Don't listen to her, it must be that bastard who defiled her who's here.

This time, she realized from the way Granny Lian and the others looked at her that they could hear her.

Moreover, the eyes of Granny Lian and the others told her that they could not speak and had lost control of their bodies.

Xu Yunxue tried to run away, but she couldn't even get out of the bathtub, trapped inside by an invisible wall of air.

He could only watch helplessly as the people around him walked out and closed the palace doors.

"I'll fight you to the death."

Xu Yunxue saw the bastard with his head shrouded in black mist appear.

He gritted his teeth and prepared to fight the other side to the death.

however……

She was subdued in no time.

He was being tormented by the other party in the bathtub.

afterwards
This time, Xu Yunxue did not faint.

He looked listlessly at someone who was about to leave.

"Who exactly are you, a demon from beyond the realm?"

"Or is it the Ghost King?"

Xu Yunxue asked weakly.

Without pausing, the man, driven by lust rather than emotion, vanished into thin air the next second.

"asshole"

Xu Yunxue saw the other person pull up his pants and leave without even acknowledging her, which made her so angry that she cursed him as a bastard.

"咹"

The door was quickly pushed open by the people outside.

"My lady..."

When Shangguan Duo'er and the others saw the Empress leaning weakly against the edge of the bath, they hurriedly went over to her.

"What just happened? Your bodies were all controlled?"

Xu Yunxue asked.

Upon hearing the Empress's question, Shangguan Duo'er and the others recalled the scene from just now, and their faces turned pale.

The feeling of being unable to act independently is terrifying.

In response to the Empress's question, he indicated that his body was indeed under control.

"All go out."

"If he shows up again next time, you don't need to worry about him."

"Pointless."

Despite her resentment, Xu Yunxue accepted her fate.

This time she did not dismiss the palace maids, because these palace maids were all female disciples of the Moonflower Palace.

They had the water in the bath changed, and I soaked in it again for a while.

The reason she resigned herself to her fate was not only because she couldn't resist, but also because the other person allowed her to experience the joy of being a woman.

She's probably close to thirty, and women that age are often very aggressive.
