My Wife Is A General Who Killed Tens Of Thousands On The Battlefield-Chapter 228 - Unexpected Situation

Chapter 228: Unexpected Situation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Who was the red dot that Emperor Zhou saw?

It was naturally Su Wen. At this moment, he threw a punch at the Crown Prince!

Just like last time, a Qi barrier appeared around the Crown Prince! Even though Su Wen had broken through to the Heaven Rank, his punch still failed to pierce through.

However, the corners of Su Wen’s mouth rose up in a sneer.

Flames rose from his palm, and ultra-high temperature holy flames directly wrapped around the Crown Prince!

“Ah!” “Help!”

The Crown Prince wailed.

In reality, this Qi barrier had a temperature-resistant effect. Ordinary flames would definitely not be able to harm the Crown Prince!

However, the temperature of Su Wen’s flames had completely exceeded that of normal flames.

This was especially so when the flames completely sealed the Crown Prince within the Qi barrier.

In an instant, the high temperature had already roasted the Crown Prince’s clothes.

A smile appeared on Su Wen’s face when he heard the Crown Prince’s miserable cry.

Immediately after, he opened the teleportation portal and escaped!

When the Heaven Rank expert arrived, all that was left was a charred corpse!

Emperor Zhou never expected that the Crown Prince would be assassinated again, and this time, he would really succumb to it!

The corpse was delivered to the Emperor, whose face darkened.

He took a deep breath and asked, “Who did it?”

“I don’t know. When we arrived, he had already run away. Just like last time, we don’t know what methods he used.”

Emperor Zhou was going crazy!

What was going on?

How could someone suddenly appear and disappear?

Moreover, no one could sense when the assassin appeared.

He did not know that Su Wen, who had just returned to Chu, had come out from the original Su Residence once more.

And this time, he turned his gaze to the little eunuch in the palace’s royal kitchen…

In the kitchen, Su Wen buried his head in his work.

Cutting carrots.

It was a very stupid job.

But he worked very hard in his role.

One carrot after another.

At this moment, the steward eunuch walked over and looked at the pile of chopped carrots in front of Su Wen.

Satisfied, he said, “Little Pingzi, you’re cutting carrots much faster than usual today! Good luck, hurry up and dry them. After you’re done, go and pour the swill.”

That’s right, not only could they not rest after finishing their tasks, they also had to do more work.

Su Wen was not angry and only lowered his head to work.

He could not figure out who these eunuchs were making food for.

There were too many people in the inner residence of the palace.

The emperor’s concubines, the ministers handling government affairs, and some princes and princesses.

He only had half a Transformation Pill, thus he could not afford to fail.

Moreover, there were many experts in the palace, so he didn’t dare to easily expose his cultivation.

Based on his experience killing the Crown Prince, the Heaven Ranks would be the first to appear, especially those still in the palace.

He had to figure out the customs of this place first.

His hands and feet were extremely nimble, and he quickly peeled and cut the rest of the carrots.

He then went to pour the swill. To Su Wen, these tiring tasks for ordinary people were nothing to him.

The first day was calm, but Su Wen, who was constantly working today, made the manager quite satisfied.

Everyone liked someone who was quick and efficient.

In the night, Su Wen finally returned to his residence. It was a small room in a remote corner of the palace.

He did not return to the Flame God Sect at all.

After all, if he were to return from here, he would then reappear in the Su Residence.

It was too troublesome for him.

This time, he had thrown caution to the wind. Not only did he make Emperor Zhou feel the pain of losing his son, he also planned to give him a hard time! Make him suffer!

In the room, Su Wen did not dare to cultivate and could only lie down like an ordinary person.

It had been a long time since he felt this way.

Suddenly, the door opened.

“Little Pingzi, it’s me.”

A female voice sounded outside the door…

Su Wen’s expression changed. He had already asked about all of Little Pingzi’s interpersonal relationships.

This woman was probably his lover!

Such a situation was not rare in the palace.

After all, even eunuchs and palace maids had needs.

When the woman outside realized that there was no movement, she knocked even more urgently.

“Hurry up and open the door. Someone will see.”

The woman’s words traveled in.

Su Wen had no choice. He could not pretend that there was no one around. If there was no one in, why would it be locked from the inside?

He walked to the door and opened it.

The woman directly barged in and said bluntly, “Quickly close the door.”

Su Wen closed the door behind him.

Looking at the palace maid, she was already not young, around 27 or 28 years old.

However, she looked rather refined. She chuckled and lay on the bed, curling her fingers as she smiled. “Brother Pingzi, why haven’t you come over here to serve me?”

“Sister Chuntao… I’m a little tired today…” Su Wen whispered.

“I don’t care, I want it. Hurry up and make it comfortable, otherwise, I’ll make you suffer!” The woman commanded.

Obviously, in this relationship, Xiaoping was the weaker party.

Su Wen went forward and reached out to touch her body. His large hand slowly wandered around her body.

Suddenly, he pressed down hard.

The woman fainted.

“Hehe! You want me to be your tool? Dream on!”

Su Wen would not do anything to her. To put it bluntly, this Little Pingzi he found was about the same size as him externally. However, once he took off his clothes, the difference between the two could not be concealed no matter what.

Furthermore, Su Wen was not a real eunuch. If he made this fellow comfortable, then how long would he have to keep himself suppressed and not release it?

The other party might even have some perverted requests to knock him out.

He was thinking about how to deal with this when he suddenly heard someone coming.

He quickly covered the woman with the blanket.

Bang bang bang bang! Little Pingzi, don’t sleep anymore. Hurry up and get up! Eunuch Liu has informed them that there are urgent matters to attend to!

Su Wen did not dare to be negligent and quickly left the house. Before he left, he took the chance to feel around underneath Chuntao’s clothes.

Not bad.

Soon, he arrived back at the royal kitchen.

It was yet another job.

When others were tired, it was inevitable that their movements would be slower. However, Su Wen was already very energetic.

Not long after, the dishes were prepared. Eunuch Liu, who was also the in-charge, looked around and saw Su Wen was the only one free. He said, “Little Pingzi, bring the food tray and follow me!”

Su Wen immediately picked up the bowl of meat soup.

After following Eunuch Liu out of the royal kitchen, Eunuch Liu instructed, “In a while, when we arrive at the Empress’s chambers, you will go in to deliver the food. Remember the food delivery rules I taught you, right? Just follow the rules. If you don’t do it well, be careful of your head!”

Eunuch Liu spoke sharply.

The empress had just lost her son today and had not eaten a single grain of rice for the entire day. This was something the emperor had ordered someone to deliver.

But what if he followed the Empress when she was in a bad mood and was punished by her instead?

If he let this young eunuch in and the eunuch received punishment, it would have nothing to do with him.

This kind of thing was very common in the palace.

If he did not even have such thoughts, he would not be a manager.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the Empress’s chambers. Eunuch Liu said, “Send it in!”

Um…

Su Wen was not afraid, he only bowed and walked in with the tray.

The moment he entered, he saw a charred corpse placed in the courtyard.

It was the Crown Prince that Su Wen had burned to death.

As for the Empress, she was staring blankly at the corpse. Beside her was a blood-stained sword.

Su Wen hurriedly bowed and said, “Empress, His Majesty has issued a decree to deliver the Eight Treasures Deer Meat Soup to you!”

At this moment, Su Wen noticed that the Empress did not even have a maid by her side.

How would he know that once the Empress found out that the Crown Prince had died, she could not take the mental trauma and killed three of her maidservants in just one afternoon?

Thus, the rest of the servants were chased out.

A gentle and refined woman had gone completely crazy after her son died.

Upon hearing Su Wen’s words, the Empress suddenly raised her head as anger flashed across her eyes. She screamed, “He sent someone to deliver meat soup? If this is the murderer’s meat, I will eat it! He is also the ruler of a country. Could it be that even if his son is killed, he can’t catch the murderer? Get lost! Get lost quickly!”

Su Wen was unwilling to stay any longer and quickly turned around to leave.

At that moment, the Empress coldly spat, “Stop!”

Su Wen stopped in his tracks.

“Come here!”

The Empress said in a low voice.

Her hand had, at some unknown point in time, already touched the hilt of the sword beside her!

Su Wen turned around and noticed her actions.

‘F*ck! This woman is crazy!’ Su Wen cursed in his heart.

If she wanted to kill him now, he would definitely be exposed if he made a move. Wouldn’t he be in deep trouble then?

If he didn’t make a move, what else could he do to attract her attention?

Su Wen knew very well that although there was no one on the surface, there were still some breathing in the surroundings. This was not a room, so there might be many people observing from the shadows. If he made any abnormal movements, his identity would definitely be exposed.

However, if he didn’t make a move, it would be too cowardly if he was exposed.

Suddenly, tears seeped out of the corners of Su Wen’s eyes. As he walked, he said, “Crown Prince! You died unjustly! How can a kind-hearted person like you die? I still remember that you rewarded me with five taels of silver back then… I was happy for a day… Why is it that we’re separated forever now… Wuwuwu…”

Tears began to stream down Su Wen’s face.

However, in his heart, he thought differently: ‘Old Su, I will definitely avenge you.’

However, the Empress did not know his inner thoughts. Her heart softened when she saw Su Wen like this. She immediately released the sword in her hand.

“My… my son!”

She also started crying.

Su Wen walked to the Empress’s side and placed the meat soup down. He wailed, “This lowly one has been in the palace for many years, and the only time I’ve received a reward is His Highness the Crown Prince! I’ve never dared to forget…”

After crying for a while, the Empress took a deep breath and calmed down. “What’s your name?”

“Little Pingzi!”

“I was so moved when I saw your tears just now, so you must be worried about the Crown Prince. Come into my bedroom and serve me.”

The Empress spoke softly.

Su Wen: “????”

However, at this moment, he couldn’t refuse, so he could only grit his teeth and agree.

The Empress looked at the Crown Prince’s corpse and whispered, “My son died so tragically…”

Su Wen sneered in his heart. ‘His death was indeed tragic.’

However, he also quickly displayed a grief stricken expression on the surface.

“Empress, don’t be sad. It’s more important to take care of your body. Otherwise, how can you see that ferocious beast being executed?” Su Wen consoled her.

Inwardly, he began to ponder. If he were to serve the Empress… it would not be a bad idea.

When Emperor Zhou came, he would definitely have a chance to drug him.

“Guards!” The Empress called out softly.

Someone immediately rushed over from afar.

“Go, tell the imperial kitchen that Little Pinzi will be transferred to my chambers.”

As she spoke, she continued, “Prepare a white jade coffin and put my son inside. He will be buried in my courtyard!”

“Huh?”

Everyone was stunned.

Although it was not a big deal to bury dead people in the palace at times, it was definitely against the rules to openly build a grave.

But who would dare to defy her?

Those people received their orders and left.

The Empress extended her hand, and Su Wen immediately accepted it sensibly. Her hand was fair and smooth, as if it had no bones.

He helped the Empress into her chambers.

The Empress sat on the edge of the bed and cried again.

This time, Su Wen did not cry as well.

He only stood at the side obediently.

After a while, a eunuch suddenly shouted from outside, “His Majesty has arrived!”

Emperor Zhou had arrived!

However, the Empress did not move at all.

Emperor Zhou walked straight into the house. When he saw the Empress, he shouted coldly, “Are you messing around? Is the palace an area to build a grave?”

The Empress looked up at him and said in a sharp voice, “My son is already dead! Can’t he accompany me?”

“But you can’t build a grave in the palace!” Emperor Zhou rebuked angrily. “Who would build a grave in their own house? He’s still a crown prince, so he should be buried according to the etiquette of a prince! Could it be that he wants to stay in a grave in your courtyard even in the afterlife?”

“Men, take the Crown Prince’s corpse away!”

Emperor Zhou shouted coldly, “Let me tell you, letting you bring your corpse into your chambers today is already a special favor. Don’t push your luck. I will find the murderer who killed the Crown Prince. It’s enough for you to make a fuss! Otherwise, don’t blame me for crippling you!”

After saying that, Emperor Zhou turned around and left.

The Empress lay on the table and wept again.

Su Wen was also helpless at this scene, and could only continue standing at the corner.

Soon, someone outside came and carried the Crown Prince’s corpse away.

Not long after, a few palace maids came in.

“Empress, do you want to rest first?”

“Get lost! All of you get lost!”

The Empress rebuked angrily.

Su Wen was speechless. These people were truly dumb.

Say, is this the time to be caring for her? Isn’t it nice to sleep instead?

The palace maids retreated.

Su Wen naturally would not say anything. At this moment, if he spoke out, he would only be asking for a scolding.

No matter what he said, it would have the same effect.

The Empress bent over the table and wept silently. Two hours later, there was a long drawn-out breathing sound.

Su Wen heaved a sigh of relief and slowly retreated.

“Where are you going?” The Empress’s voice suddenly came from behind.

Su Wen hurriedly turned around and said with a smile, “A few lamps have been extinguished. This servant is preparing to light them up.”

Su Wen’s brain worked quicker than before to come out with an answer in record time.

If he were to directly say that he wanted to leave, it would appear that he was not loyal enough. However, the Empress had another thought.

“Never mind, there’s no need to light them up… you may leave after you’ve served me to change,” the Empress said.

“Eh?”

Su Wen was stunned.

But he knew that with his status, he could not refuse.

The Empress stretched out her arms.

Su Wen stepped forward and undid the Empress’s belt before taking off her outer dress.

Although the Empress was not young, she had taken good care of herself. Her skin was fair and smooth, and her body emitted a faint fragrance…

Su Wen tried his best to control his gaze and removed the dress.

The Empress had even fewer clothes on her now.

However, even though Su Wen was controlling himself, the Empress still noticed something different about him.

Su Wen’s body… smelled clean!

It had to be known that after a mortal eunuch was castrated, they would constantly suffer from the leakage of urine. Of course, many eunuchs would put some powder on themselves to cover up this smell.

But in short, there would always be some kind of smell, be it the fragrance or the sour smell of urine…

However, Su Wen did not have such a smell…

It was very clean.

He smelled so clean that it was surprising.

As for Su Wen, his impressions of eunuchs were based off television. Although he tried his best to imitate the eunuch’s words and actions, how could he know that the smell would be different as well?

“You may leave.” However, the Empress was feeling sad. Although she had some suspicions, she did not think too much about it.

She only let Su Wen leave.

Su Wen heaved a sigh of relief and slowly withdrew…

The Crown Prince’s death was considered a joyous occasion in this cold and lonely palace.

Other than Emperor Zhou and the Empress, many people were secretly happy.

The Crown Prince’s death meant that the other princes had a chance.

The women in the harem were bound to demand more from Emperor Zhou.

As for the Empress… after losing the Crown Prince, Emperor Zhou became even colder towards her.

He did not come for several days.

On the other hand, Su Wen had become familiar with the palace maids in the empress’s chambers.

In the past, the Empress rarely used eunuchs to serve her.

This was a matter of personal preferences.

There were many reasons why some concubines liked to use eunuchs instead.

Now that Su Wen had become the Empress’s personal attendant, his status naturally rose as well.

However, what made the Empress unhappy was that the murderer of the Crown Prince was never found.

Su Wen was also a little anxious. He was not really here to be a eunuch, but to drug Emperor Zhou instead!

Finally, Emperor Zhou came again. After seven days, he had arrived at the Empress’ chambers once more.

Then, he had another big fight with the Empress!

After reprimanding the Empress, Emperor Zhou left.

Su Wen still did not find a chance.

He began to panic.

Just as he was racking his brains, the Empress’s voice sounded.

“Little Pingzi, come in and serve me in the bath!”

“Huh?” Su Wen was stunned. The Empress had never made such a request before.

How would he know that the Empress and Emperor Zhou were quarreling? She was angry, but she had nowhere to vent.

She naturally had to think of a way to take revenge.

Su Wen entered the restroom.

The other palace maids didn’t dare to say anything and helped to draw water and fill the tub.

“You guys can leave. Little Pingzi can stay behind.”

The Empress instructed.

Everyone tactfully withdrew.

Su Wen gulped nervously.

He obediently stepped forward and helped her remove her clothes…

This time, the Empress’ body was no longer concealed and was revealed to Su Wen in full.

Fortunately, she soon entered the tub.

“Come, massage my shoulders,” the Empress whispered.

Su Wen walked over and placed his hand on the empress’s shoulders.

Su Wen’s hand was hot and strong.

However, this action of touching her bare made Su Wen react….

In the end, he was still a fake eunuch…

The Empress was in the tub, her back to him, oblivious to what was happening.

“What kind of person do you think the Crown Prince is?” the Empress asked.

‘Hehe, was there a need to ask? Of course nothing good.’

Su Wen cursed in his heart.

However, on the surface, as long as Su Wen was not stupid, he would naturally know what to say. He said softly, “Your Highness, he was well-versed in both civil and military arts and was kind-hearted. Many people say that Your Highness has the bearing of a Saint.”

He could say whatever sounded good.

“But how did the Crown Prince die just like that?” the Empress wailed. “I don’t know who he offended. Who is so cruel?”

Su Wen did not reply, and the Empress’s tears fell continuously.

Suddenly, she stood up and hugged Su Wen.

It was indeed true that a woman would always need a man when she was at her most sorrowful.

In the past few days, Su Wen had been constantly consoling her. Coupled with Su Wen’s EQ, he was naturally not someone an ordinary eunuch could compare to.

The Empress thus trusted and liked Su Wen even more.

Over the past few days, Emperor Zhou had been in conflict with her. She felt miserable and could only confide in Su Wen.

Now, she needed someone to rely on.

In reality, such things were not rare in the harem of concubines.

Many of the concubines had taken intimate actions with the eunuchs because of the Emperor’s neglect…

Right now, Su Wen’s body froze when she hugged him!

What the f*ck should he do?
