Shen Zhiyuan was kidnapped from the prison, which made Situ Rui extremely angry.
But not long after sending people to search, things took a turn that left Situ Rui puzzled.
Situ Rui originally suspected that Shen Zhiyuan was rescued by Shen Yunyou.
But Situ Rui looked at Shen Zhiyuan's body in front of him, puzzled.
Who deliberately rescued Shen Zhiyuan and then killed Shen Zhiyuan's enemy?
Shen Zhiyuan's body was found in a busy city, so the news naturally spread throughout the streets and alleys very quickly, shocking countless people.
This is naturally another difficult problem for Situ Rui to deal with.
In just a few days, several ministers of the court died.
Not to mention Shen Yunyou's disappearance, Long Mingguo's sudden attack also made Situ Rui a little bit overwhelmed.
Before Situ Rui ascended the throne, Long Mingguo had been ready to make moves many times.
Situ Rui personally led troops to the border, not just once or twice.
But every time they went there, Longming Kingdom would suddenly withdraw its troops, leaving them helpless.
The terrain of Longming Country is easy to defend and attack.
If you rush over rashly, you will cause great losses.
So at that time, Situ Rui didn't take action just to be on the safe side.
But now the situation is very different, because the enemy has come to the door.
Situ Rui was thinking about how to deal with Long Mingguo's plan when Situ Nan suddenly rushed in with a panic look on his face.
"Brother, it's not good" "What's wrong?"
Situ Rui asked, looking at Situ Nan's uncomfortable expression.
"The Shadow appears.
Just outside the city."
Situ Nan's words made Situ Rui jump up and strode to Situ Nan's side.
Situ Rui asked in a low voice: "Where is it?
Take me there."
Situ Nan glanced at Situ Rui uneasily and nodded lightly.
Walking towards the door with Situ Rui, the two of them got on their horses and took many guards with them.
They galloped all the way towards the city gate.
Arriving at the city gate, Situ Rui immediately saw the white figure in the distance.
Jumping off the horse, Situ Rui clenched his fists patiently and stared at the shadow silently.
Shadow squatted on the ground bored, holding a piece of weed in his mouth.
After spotting the appearance of Situ Rui and others with his peripheral vision, Shadow stood up from the ground slowly, spit out the weeds from his mouth, and looked at Situ Rui lazily.
"The common people meet the Emperor."
Situ Rui couldn't help but sneered when he heard An Ye greeting him.
Situ Rui followed the others, approaching the shadow step by step.
Seeing his fearless appearance in the face of danger, Situ Rui felt an inexplicable anger in his heart.
"Shadow, I ask you, do you know your guilt?"
Situ Rui stopped and left a small distance between him and Shadow.
He asked in a clear voice: "You killed Prime Minister Shen Zhiyuan, General Song Leiming and Deputy General Song Leiyi, and now you still have the courage to appear in front of me?"
"Your Majesty, this is not what the common people did.
Don't just put it on the common people.
The common people can't bear it."
When Shadow heard what Situ Rui said, he felt wronged.
"I showed up specifically today to let the emperor find out.
I brought the emperor here because I wanted to tell the emperor something very important.
If the emperor doesn't want to hear it, then just leave now and don't say anything."

"Let's go" Situ Rui raised the corner of his mouth with an evil smile and looked at the mask on Shadow's face with disdain, "You are a loser who doesn't even dare to let others see your true face.
Do you think I will let you leave with your life today?"
"Your Majesty, it would be better if you don't say this too much."
Shadow shook his head with a sigh, looked at the hundreds of guards behind Situ Rui, and said meaningfully: "You brought people here, and I, too I may not be alone here.
Do you think I would be stupid enough to come to see you without any preparation?"
Shadow's words made Situ Rui and Situ Nan immediately alert.
They looked around cautiously.
Their reactions made Shadow smile silently.
"Your Majesty, I wonder if your empress is in the palace right now?"
Situ Rui stopped talking, and Shadow had no choice but to continue the conversation.
Asking the question that Situ Rui was extremely concerned about, Shadow chuckled at his superior Situ Rui's eyes that were momentarily blinded by murderous aura.
"Your Majesty, don't look at me like that, I'm scared."
"Shadow, if you are sensible, please hand her over as soon as possible."
Situ Rui gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise, I will not spare you."
"Your Majesty, your words have put the common people in trouble."
Shadow shrugged indifferently.
"Your concubine is gone, how can you blame me?
Besides, even if she is really in my hands, you have to ask her if she is still willing to come back to you.
Otherwise, tell me, why did she Willing to go with me" "Presumptuous" Situ Rui trembled with anger, "You kidnapped my beloved concubine, and now you dare to use strong words to make excuses" Shadow watched in silence as Situ Rui became angry.
This was the scene he had wanted to see for a long time, and it was also the ending he hoped for.
With a narrow light flashing in his eyes, Shadow remained motionless and silent, just standing there, looking at Situ Rui quietly.
Here is Shadow standing alone, and over there is Situ Rui leading hundreds of imperial guards.
The two stood facing each other, neither one of them had any intention of taking a step back, and neither one had any intention of letting the other go.
Suddenly, Shadow sighed.
He said in an evil voice: "Your Majesty, if you don't believe it, then I'll take you to see her.
Or, I'll call her over and let her admit to you in person that she doesn't want to be by your side.
She wants to be with you."
I'm leaving" Shadow's words made Situ Rui no longer able to suppress the anger in his heart.
He drew out the sharp sword in his hand and Situ Rui roared: "Get the thief Shadow down to me."
As soon as Situ Rui said this, everyone immediately started to prepare to rush towards the shadow.
But at this moment, the sound coming from behind forced them to stop.
"Everyone, stop for the Ai family."
The voice revealed a majesty that they could not resist.
Everyone turned around and saw the Queen Mother, Liu Xinru, riding on horseback with a serious look on her face.
Liu Xinru looked down at the situation in front of her, her eyes coldly aimed at the shadow.
Seeing the shadow Yi Di standing there fluttering, looking at her in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, Liu Xinru frowned without any trace and jumped off the horse.
"Mother, why are you here?"
Situ Rui was surprised by Liu Xinru's arrival.
Liu Xinru glanced at Situ Rui lightly and said nothing.
Is it okay if she doesn’t come?
If she doesn’t come, there’s no telling how much Situ Rui will suffer.
Liu Xinru recalled the scene in the palace just now.
She was lying in the palace to rest, but a sharp arrow shot from outside the door broke Liu Xinru's leisurely calm.
Liu Xinru took down the letter on the arrow and read it carefully.
Without thinking too much, she immediately prepared her horse and headed towards the city gate.

That letter must be the work of Shadow, who dared to enter the palace to do evil in broad daylight.
Now apart from the people of Shadow, Liu Xinru could not find any other target of suspicion.
"Shadow, what do you want?"
Liu Xinru looked at Shadow with a calm face and asked, "What do you want, tell me."
"Whatever I want, will the Queen Mother give it to me?"
Shadow asked with interest.
"As long as you say it, I will find a way to satisfy you."
"The Queen Mother has such a strong tone."
Shadow laughed jokingly: "Well, I want to pray for the throne of the Kingdom of Heaven, let your son abdicate, and let me be the emperor for a few days, how about it?"
Shadow's bold words had already angered everyone.
But Liu Xinru kept telling them not to take action, because Liu Xinru knew in her heart that Shadow must be prepared this time.
If the people on her side were really angered by him and took action, they would probably be completely defeated, and the remaining people would be defeated.
If there are not many people, it will inevitably be another big blow to Situ Rui.
Moreover, Liu Xinru also had her own plans in mind.
The arrival of Liu Xinru caused subtle changes in things.
When Yingying saw that Liu Xinru had been refusing to let Situ Rui's people take action, he understood what she had in mind.
But the purpose of his coming here today was to give her and Situ Rui a heavy blow.
If Liu Xinru didn't take action, how could Shadow give up?
Shadow whistled, and soon there was another sound of horse hooves in the distance.
A person who shouldn't be here just appeared in their sight.
Shen Yunyang came on horseback wearing a light green skirt.
When he arrived at Shadow's side, Shen Yunyang didn't even get off his horse, but looked straight at Situ Rui with contemptuous eyes.
The moment Situ Rui saw Shen Yunyang, his body became extremely stiff.
Looking at Shen Yunyang's eyes as if looking at a stranger, Situ Rui felt even more heartbroken.
And this feeling became clearer and more intense after Shen Yunyang spoke.
"Your Majesty, haven't I already left you a message?"
Shen Yunyang said softly, "I didn't lie to you, I really don't love you.
The only person I love from the beginning to the end is Shadow.
Why are you still here?
Why do you have to force me to show up here and let me leave your control peacefully, can't you?"
"Shen Yunyou, do you know what you are talking about now?"
Situ Rui gritted his teeth, listening to his own voice, he could only see her.
"I know exactly what I'm talking about, and I hope the emperor knows what I'm talking about."
Shen Yunyang answered Situ Rui's question happily, then raised the corners of his mouth provocatively and smiled.
"But I wouldn't be surprised if the emperor couldn't understand what I said.
Anyway, the emperor has always been so stupid, otherwise you wouldn't have been fooled by me for so long without knowing it."
Shen Yunyang's words completely angered Situ Rui.
Ignoring Liu Xinru's obstruction, Situ Rui took the lead with a long sword in hand and rushed towards Shen Yunyang and Shadow.
As soon as Situ Rui moved, the imperial guards behind him accelerated their pace and followed closely behind him.
At the same time that Situ Rui took action, dozens of Shadow's men hiding in the darkness immediately appeared and stood in front of Shadow and Shen Yunyang.
