Emperor Shen's charming wife

Chapter 29: Trapped, hard to tell true from false

Shen Yu smiled slightly, and the light of confidence in his eyes instantly bloomed and disappeared. "I believe him." Shen Yu's voice was steady and firm. Eunuch Li nodded hurriedly, and couldn't help but secretly admire the emperor's demeanor. In his impression, the emperor has always been famous for his decisiveness in killing, and he never showed mercy on the battlefield or in the court. However, in this matter, the emperor showed rare tolerance and generosity. Shen Yu turned his head and looked at Ning Yao, his eyes full of water-like tenderness, as if he could melt people. "Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you." Ning Yao smiled sweetly, and her smile was like a flower blooming in spring. She gently held Shen Yu's hand and said softly, "I believe you." Shen Yu's face became softer, like the surface of a lake brushed by the spring breeze. He patted Ning Yao's hand gently, as if conveying endless comfort. "Let's go, let's go back to the palace." Ning Yao nodded slightly, like a well-behaved kitten, quietly following Shen Yu. The two walked side by side, their figures were stretched out in the afterglow of the setting sun, like a beautiful painting. The new villain had already burst into tears, and his head kept nodding like pounding garlic. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace! I will tell you everything I know, and I will tell you everything I know!" His voice trembled. He knew that this was his only chance for redemption, so he was looking forward to exposing the forces behind the investigation and atonement for his crimes. Shen Yu nodded slightly, and motioned him to leave with a cold expression. The new villain was as if he had been pardoned, and he hurriedly left the interrogation room, crawling and rolling. His panic-stricken appearance was simply unbearable to watch. "Your Majesty, can this man really turn over a new leaf?" Eunuch Li frowned and couldn't help asking. Shen Yu smiled slightly, and a confident light flashed in his eyes again. "I believe him." Eunuch Li nodded sincerely, and he admired the emperor's tolerance and magnanimity in his heart. Shen Yu turned his head to look at Ning Yao, his eyes still as gentle as water. "Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you." Ning Yao smiled and gently held Shen Yu's hand. "I believe you." Shen Yu's expression eased a lot, and he patted Ning Yao's hand gently. "Let's go, let's go back to the palace." Ning Yao nodded, followed Shen Yu, and slowly left the interrogation room. Ning Yao has always been a visionary person. She knows that in this ever-changing world, only by continuously enriching herself can she gain a firm foothold. Therefore, she has studied hard since she was a child and tried her best to improve her own strength. Now, all her efforts in the past have finally ushered in rich rewards. At this extremely critical moment, Ning Yao did not panic at all. She calmly took out a small and exquisite hidden weapon from her arms and threw it at the man in black. The man in black did not expect Ning Yao to attack suddenly, and was caught off guard and hit directly in the chest by the hidden weapon. He groaned, covered his chest with both hands, and fell down dejectedly. The other men in black were all horrified when they saw this. They hurriedly surrounded Ning Yao, trying to stop her from escaping. Ning Yao was not afraid at all. She swung her long sword vigorously and started a fierce battle with the men in black. Her sword skills were exquisite and every move was full of endless power. Although the men in black were numerous, their strength was far inferior to Ning Yao. Under Ning Yao's fierce attack, they retreated step by step and were soon forced into a desperate situation. Just when Ning Yao wanted to annihilate all the men in black in one fell swoop, a man in black suddenly took out a smoke bomb from his arms and threw it out with all his strength. The smoke bomb exploded on the ground, and a large amount of smoke gushed out. In an instant, the whole street was shrouded in smoke, and the vision became hazy. Ning Yao's heart tightened. She knew that this was the last desperate struggle of the men in black. She had to think of a way to escape as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. She quickly took out a handkerchief from her bosom and covered her mouth and nose. Then, waving the long sword in her hand, she rushed towards the direction of the smoke. The man in black did not expect Ning Yao to be so bold. He was caught off guard and was pierced through the throat by Ning Yao's sword. He fell to the ground and died, and his blood stained the ground red. Seeing this, the other men in black were terrified. They hurriedly turned around and fled, not daring to entangle with Ning Yao anymore. Ning Yao did not chase the man in black. She knew that the most important thing at this moment was to leave this place as soon as possible. She quickly ran towards the direction of the palace, hoping to return to the palace as soon as possible and seek help from Shen Yu. However, after running a few steps, she was blocked by a man in black. The man in black held a long sword and stared at Ning Yao with a frosty face. Ning Yao's heart sank. She knew that this man in black must be a master. She must deal with it carefully, otherwise she would most likely die at his hands. The man in black remained silent, holding a long sword, and attacked Ning Yao. Ning Yao showed no fear, wielding the sword in her hand, and engaging in a fierce fight with the man in black. The man in black had superb swordsmanship, and each of his moves was extremely powerful. Although Ning Yao was quite strong, she was still a little overwhelmed in front of the man in black. Soon, Ning Yao was at a disadvantage. She was wounded in many places, and her clothes were stained red with blood. The man in black showed no mercy and continued to swing his sword and attack Ning Yao. Ning Yao's heart darkened, thinking that she was doomed today. Just when Ning Yao thought she was doomed, a familiar voice sounded in her ears. "Ning Yao!" Ning Yao was delighted, and turned around to see Shen Yu leading a group of elite soldiers and generals, rushing towards her. The men in black were all panicked when they saw this. They quickly turned around and fled, not daring to entangle with Shen Yu and others. Shen Yu did not chase after the black-clad man, but quickly ran to Ning Yao's side and asked with concern: "Ning Yao, are you okay?" Ning Yao shook her head and said, "I'm fine." Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm glad you're okay." Ning Yao looked at Shen Yu, her heart full of emotion. She knew that Shen Yu was a very responsible person. He would not easily abandon his subjects, nor would he easily give up his lover. "Thank you, Shen Yu." Ning Yao said softly. Shen Yu smiled slightly and said, "You're welcome. You are my queen, and I will not let you suffer any harm." Ning Yao nodded, her heart filled with happiness. Shen Yu turned to look at Eunuch Li and said, "Eunuch Li, immediately send someone to investigate the origins of these black-clad men, and be sure to find out their mastermind as soon as possible." Eunuch Li nodded and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I'll do it right away." Shen Yu nodded, then turned to look at Ning Yao and said, "Ning Yao, let's go back to the palace." Ning Yao nodded, and then followed Shen Yu and slowly left here. The black-clad men were so enraged by Ning Yao's words that they no longer cared about hiding their tracks. They waved their swords with cold light flashing in their hands and pounced on Ning Yao like vicious wolves. Ning Yao's heart tightened. She knew that these black-clad men were all well-trained cold-blooded killers with unfathomable strength. Compared with them, she was like an egg hitting a stone. But her eyes were firm and she had no intention of retreating. She quickly took out a delicate hidden weapon from her arms and threw it at the black-clad men with all her strength. The hidden weapon exploded in mid-air, emitting a large amount of smoke. In an instant, the smoke spread like a rolling dark cloud, covering the entire street tightly and blurring the vision. The black-clad men did not expect Ning Yao to have such a move, and were hit in the chest by the hidden weapon in panic. They groaned in pain, covered their chests and staggered to the ground. Ning Yao did not dare to stop for a moment, and ran towards the direction of the palace. She knew that only by returning to the palace and relying on Shen Yu could she protect herself. But just after running a few steps, a dark shadow appeared in front of her like a ghost. The man in black held a long sword and stared at Ning Yao with a frosty face. Ning Yao's heart trembled, knowing that this person must be a top master, so she held her breath and concentrated on responding. The man in black remained silent and swung his long sword straight at her. Ning Yao was not afraid, and she raised her sword to meet him, fighting a desperate battle with the man in black. The man in black had a sharp sword technique, and each move was extremely fierce, as if it had a thousand pounds of force. Although Ning Yao was extraordinary, she gradually became powerless in front of the man in black. Soon, Ning Yao was at a disadvantage, with many wounds on her body and blood staining her clothes red. The man in black had no sympathy and continued to kill with his sword. Ning Yao felt that she was doomed this time. Just when Ning Yao was completely desperate, a familiar voice sounded in her ears. Ning Yao turned around in surprise, only to see Shen Yu leading a group of elite soldiers rushing towards them like a gust of wind. The man in black was panicked when he saw this, and turned around and fled in embarrassment, not daring to confront Shen Yu and others. Shen Yu had no time to chase the man in black, and hurried to Ning Yao's side, full of concern: "Ning Yao, are you okay?" Ning Yao shook her head gently: "I'm fine." Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm glad you're okay." Ning Yao looked at Shen Yu, her heart full of emotion. She knew very well that Shen Yu was a very responsible person, who would not abandon his subjects, let alone his lover. "Thank you, Shen Yu." Ning Yao said softly. Shen Yu smiled slightly: "You're welcome. You are my queen, and I will never let you get hurt." Ning Yao nodded, her heart full of happiness. Shen Yu turned to look at Eunuch Li: "Eunuch Li, immediately send someone to investigate the origins of these men in black, and make sure to find the mastermind behind the scenes as soon as possible." Eunuch Li replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will do it right away." Shen Yu nodded, and then turned to look at Ning Yao: "Ning Yao, let's go back to the palace." Ning Yao nodded, followed Shen Yu, and slowly left. Shen Yu took Ning Yao back to the palace and immediately sent someone to investigate. After a thorough investigation, the mastermind behind the scenes was finally found. It turned out that these men in black were all minions of Concubine Shen. Concubine Shen was ambitious and wanted to replace Ning Yao as the queen. She would do anything to achieve this, and even sent someone to assassinate Ning Yao. When Shen Yu learned about this, he was furious and immediately ordered Concubine Shen to be sent to the cold palace and never pardoned. Ning Yao looked at Shen Yu and was deeply moved. Shen Yu smiled slightly: "You're welcome. You are my queen, and I will naturally not let you get hurt." Ning Yao nodded, her heart overflowing with happiness.
