Chapter 166: Unknown Reason

The palace maid who was kneeling at the door of the inner hall answered with a trembling voice. She gritted her teeth and said, "It is said that Commander Mu has received the emperor's decree and wants your cooperation in investigating some things."

The palace maid stopped where she was after she finished speaking. She did not hear any sound from the inner hall, and continued, "The commander has been waiting outside the hall since the 11th hour. At that time, the queen had not woken up yet, so he has been waiting ever since. He has been waiting for more than an hour now."

Wen Yu sneered. He sat on the bed with his shirt half open, revealing his pale skin underneath.

The palace maid spoke intermittently, and Wen Yu listened quietly. He slowly tied the belt around his abdomen, but his eyes were staring at Shen Yu with inexplicable coldness.

Shen Yu: “…”

After the maid finished speaking, Wen Yu said calmly, "I haven't dressed yet. Since Commander Mu is willing to wait, I'm afraid one or two hours won't be too much. I'll just wait."

The maid outside the door hesitated and said, "This..."

"Get lost." Wen Yu frowned.

The palace maid outside the door heard the anger in Wen Yu's words, lowered her head, responded, and quickly left the inner hall door.

The figure flashed past the crack in the door, and then the sound of hurried footsteps was heard outside.

Wen Yu's face was gloomy, his belt was tied haphazardly around his waist, and his chest was open, revealing the clear outline of his chest.

Seeing that he showed no intention of retreating, Shen Yu stepped forward and untied the belt he had just tied hastily, then tied it again, and finally used his underwear to cover up the redness and swelling on his chest.

"My queen, Mu Yuyi came here this time only because he was suspicious of what happened in the well. He has no evidence in his hands. As long as you insist that you were not there at the time, he can't do anything to you."

Shen Yu felt that Wen Yu's breathing was unstable. He raised his head and looked at Wen Yu. Wen Yu's eyes were wandering, and it was unknown what he was thinking about secretly.

Shen Yu frowned, pinched Wen Yu's lower back gently, and said in his ear: "Madam, do you think I am right?"

Wen Yu raised his eyelashes, he met Shen Yu's dark eyes, and after a long time he hummed.

Shen Yu smiled at him and said, "Then tell me, what did I just say to you?"

Wen Yu: “…”

"My queen, are you ignoring my words?" Shen Yu saw Wen Yu remained silent, so he hooked his belt and led him to his side. "Are you so scared of Mu Yuyi that you lose your soul when you hear his name?"

Wen Yu leaned to the side, grasping the corner of Shen Yu's shirt for no apparent reason. He sneered, "I'm afraid of him? I don't even take him seriously."

Shen Yu narrowed his eyes: "So who were you just now?"

Wen Yu's breathing suddenly became heavy again. He had said before that he didn't care about the matter between Shen Yu and Mu Yuyi, but if he really saw that damn guy Mu Yuyi, Wen Yu still couldn't keep a good face.

"I will go to see him later. You stay in the inner hall and don't go out." Wen Yu closed his eyes and spoke in a deep voice.

Shen Yu frowned: "Why? There are so many secret guards outside, I will be safe if I stay with you."

Wen Yu pursed his lips. He had not put on his underwear yet. He simply covered his private parts with the quilt, revealing the purple bruises that spread from his calves to his knees.

Wen Yu was silent for a while. He stared at Shen Yu with a gloomy expression. After a long time, he asked, "Shen Yu, if Mu Yuyi threatens you again this time, what will you do?"

Shen Yu was stunned.

Mu Yu Ni...threaten him?

Wen Yu showed sarcasm on his face. He pinched Shen Yu's chin, and the strength of his fingers made Shen Yu feel a little painful: "Do you still want to sleep with him? You just said to me..."

Wen Yu was silent for a moment, feeling embarrassed. He just said fiercely: "You are not allowed to go see him! I will go alone, you just hide here and don't go out."

Shen Yu: “…”

He seemed to have vaguely grasped something hidden within.

After Wen Yu finished speaking, he quickly withdrew his hand, put on his underwear, and casually draped his long hair, which had become messy overnight, behind him.

Shen Yu sat on the edge of the bed. He watched Wen Yu put on the white jade robe she had worn before. He thought for a moment and then spoke carefully, "My queen, I don't know Commander Mu Yuyi at all. I've only slept with you."

Wen Yu glanced at Shen Yu, curled the corners of his lips sarcastically and said nothing.

Shen Yu was a little helpless when he saw Wen Yu was silent. "My queen, what I said is true. I just came to Yue Kingdom a month ago, and I rarely go out after entering Kunning Palace. How could I have the opportunity to come into contact with Mu Yuyi? Where did you hear this rumor?"

"It's not a rumor." Wen Yu said to himself, "Mu Yuyi told me this herself."

Shen Yu: “…what?”

"Don't try to make excuses. I don't care about what happened to you before." Wen Yu had already changed his clothes. He walked to Shen Yu's side, lowered his head and bit his earlobe. "But you are mine now. If you dare to get involved with Mu Yuyi again, I will kill you."

Shen Yu: “…”

He looked at Wen Yu, speechless for a moment.

After Wen Yu threatened Shen Yu, she felt a little bad. Shen Yu was alone and helpless, and it was inevitable that he would feel uneasy if she kept scaring him like this.

Wen Yu sighed softly, and he seemed to be trying to comfort her, whispering to Shen Yu: "You hide for now, I will take care of the things outside, you don't have to be afraid of him with me here. Do you understand?"

Shen Yu looked at Wen Yu in silence for a few seconds, then said hesitantly, "... Yeah."

Wen Yu finally felt relieved. After washing up, he picked up a long hairpin and put it in his hair, then walked out of the inner hall.

Shen Yu was still sitting on the bed. He watched Wen Yu's figure disappear from the inner hall and frowned unconsciously.

He looked at Gouqie Toutousheng, still a little confused about the situation: "Gouqie Toutousheng, do you know what Wen Yu just said?"

Gouqiu Suosheng floated up and down in the air, and it didn't know what it remembered. It covered its purple card and pretended not to know: "I don't know, this commander is really weird."

Shen Yu frowned. He sat on the bed silently for a few seconds, took his clothes and put them on. After tidying up his clothes, he stood up.

Wen Yu had been gone for quite some time. Shen Yu checked through the window to see that he was no longer visible, and then he quietly followed the passing maids and walked forward.

Mu Yuyi was meeting Wen Yu in a small building where Wen Yu had breakfast. On the way here, Shen Yu saw the huge pond on one side again. Maybe it was too early, there was a layer of mist above the pond, making the building in the center even more blurred.

Shen Yu withdrew his gaze and continued to follow the team forward, where he saw two people sitting in the middle of the small pavilion.

Shen Yu has never seen Mu Yuyi's appearance so far. Every time Mu Yuyi appears, he wears a full black mask that symbolizes his identity as a secret guard, which covers his face tightly.

Shen Yu followed the palace maids and stopped at the right side below the pavilion. As soon as he stopped, he heard another palace maid standing next to him cough at him.
