Several guards walked over and dragged Zhang Wang's body out from the corner of the room.

When the blood-stained corpse passed by Shen Shu and Wen Yue, they were so scared that they held their breath.

Clearly an hour ago, Zhang Wang was still a alive person.

But now, in Murong Che's hands, it has become a real cold corpse.

The atmosphere in the room was depressing and uncomfortable.

The maids and servants lowered their heads, held their breath, and dared not even breathe.

Occasionally, some maids would secretly look up at the arrogant and evil Fourth Prince sitting on the chair.

Murong Che was extremely handsome, with delicate and bright features, but his eyes were chillingly cold.

But he likes to wear black clothes, and he has a strong bloodthirsty aura.

In the entire Great Yan Dynasty, the only people that the court officials and local people respected and feared were only three people.

The first is His Majesty today.

The second is to be the emperor emeritus.

The third one is the bloodthirsty Fourth Master who is feared by everyone in Yanjing.

The first two are because they hold high positions and are respected by everyone.

But this Fourth Master Murong Che is like a devil from hell, and also like a wild wolf that no one can tame.

Everyone was afraid of him, not only because he held half of the military power of the Great Yan Dynasty, but also because of his way of doing things.

He is cruel, bloodthirsty, merciless, arrogant and evil.

However, those who died at his hands all deserved to die.

After the body was dragged away, Lin slowly walked forward and bowed to Murong Che who was sitting on the chair.

"Your Highness, Shu'er came here today to look for her sister. She didn't know Your Highness was in the room. I am sorry for offending Your Highness. Please forgive Shu'er for once."

Murong raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

"After all, you are here to find someone and invite them to watch a show. Madam Shen knows it better than anyone else."

Lin clenched her fists slightly and pretended to be calm, "Your Highness, Shu'er is here to see her sister, why would she let someone come to watch the show?"

But Lin knew that Murong Che hated the Shen family and would not let Shen Shu go easily.

Sitting on the chair, Murong Che's eyes fell on Shen Shu.

The sharp dagger on the table was thrown casually and landed at Shen Shu's feet.

Shen Shu's body trembled slightly, and she shrank back unconsciously, and Murong Che's voice also reached her eardrums.

"Since you have offended me, you also know my temper."

"I will not let you go easily. I will give you two choices."

"Or use this dagger and let your blood flow from here to the door."

"Or jump out of the north window."

There was a smile on the corner of his lips and his words sounded light and calm, but in fact they were cold and cruel.

"Your Highness!"

At this moment, Lin realized the seriousness of the situation. With a plop, he immediately knelt down in front of Murong Che.

"Your Highness, Shu'er is young and ignorant. Please forgive her this time."

Shen Shu also knelt down with a plop. She looked at the bloodstains on the ground and her whole body trembled.

"Please forgive me, Master."

Seeing this, Old Madam Wen was about to step forward and say a few words of pleading, but was pulled by the sleeve by the nanny beside her.

The Shen family has some old grudges with Prince Rui, and it is not convenient for the Wen family to intervene.

Besides, Prince Rui was nearly assassinated in his mansion today, and the Wen family is probably not immune from the blame.

Murong Che ignored the two women kneeling on the ground.

He smiled wickedly and sneered, "You don't have to make a choice, then go to my Prince Rui's Mansion."

"Underground prison."

In an instant, Shen Shu's legs went limp.

She had heard from the Crown Prince about the underground prison in Prince Rui's Palace.

The most terrifying thing inside is a snake pit. If a living person is pushed into the snake pit, not even a bone will be left.

The room suddenly fell into silence and no one dared to speak.

Lin's eyes were red and she knelt on the ground and began to kowtow.

"Your Highness, please spare Shu'er's life."

Shen Shu, who was standing by, bit her lip tightly. Seeing Lin like this, she helped her up. She knew that Murong Che would never let her go.

She cried, "Mother, it was my fault after all. I have offended His Royal Highness Prince Rui. I will jump now."

Lin immediately said anxiously: "How can this be possible? Shu'er, you can't jump."

Shen Shu bit her lip and stared at Murong Che.

Instead of going to Prince Rui’s Mansion, it’s better to take a gamble.

She propped herself up and slowly stood up, looking around the room, but did not see Shen Mi.

She hates.

Shen Mi clearly came into this room, how come there is no one here?

She choked up and said, "Your Highness, Prince Rui, if I jump from this attic, please let me go and let my mother go."

"Shu'er, you can't go!"

Just as Lin was about to pull Shen Shu's sleeve, Shen Shu had already walked to the window.

She raised her eyes and looked at Murong Che, feeling somewhat unwilling.

She sneered, "Your Highness Prince Rui, Shu'er is from the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion after all, and is also the granddaughter of the current Duke of Huguo. She accidentally barged in today, and Your Highness forced her to jump off the building. This is too inhumane of you."

"Your Highness, aren't you afraid of what the people of Yanjing City will say?"

Sitting on the chair, a low, hoarse laugh escaped from Murong Che's throat.

"Madam Shen, are you trying to show me favors?"

"You don't seem to be worthy of it. Besides, I don't have a good reputation to begin with. Why should I care about what others say?"

Lin looked at him with gritted teeth, but could do nothing.

Given Murong Che's current status, even if he were to report this to His Majesty someday, His Majesty would only blame Shen Shu for provoking him.

At this moment, Shen Shu, who was standing by the window, took a deep breath. She knew that if she didn't jump down today, a more terrible result would be waiting for her.

She turned her head slightly and glanced at Chunxiu, her personal maid, who was standing in the crowd.

Chunxiu nodded in a gesture, turned around and disappeared into the room.

Shen Shu stood in front of the window, took a deep breath, and jumped down without mercy.

"Shu'er!"

Lin immediately stood up and rushed over, but it was too late.

A scream was heard from downstairs in the attic.

"Shu'er, Shu'er!" Lin rushed downstairs trembling.

Madam Wen looked at Murong Che who was sitting there and said with a smile, "Your Highness, if you want to rest here, I will ask my servants to clean it up."

"I will not disturb Your Highness."

Not long after, several servants came in with their heads down and cleaned up all the blood in the room.

Everyone left and the room became quiet again.

Shen Mi, hiding in the closet, felt like she was suffocating to death.

Just as she was about to go out, she heard Murong Che's voice entering her eardrums.

"Not coming out yet."

Shen Mi opened the cabinet door and slowly got up from the cabinet.

The man on the chair was still wearing black clothes, but they were stained with blood.

She walked up to Murong Che and said, "Fourth Master, the show is over now."

"Can you take me back?"

Murong Che glanced at her coldly for a moment: "Don't forget what you promised me."

He sneered: "If you dare to play tricks on me, you should know the consequences."

Shen Mi nodded. She just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

She said calmly, "Then your highness must keep his word on what he promised me."

"After this incident, you must not harm the relatives I mentioned. You and I will have nothing to do with each other from now on."

Murong Che leaned lazily on the chair and said in a faint voice: "Fu Ying, send her back home."

"Yes, Your Highness."
