Chapter 894 Past Life 2

"You know what your master is thinking, but it's all in vain."

After Wuying finished speaking, he looked at Zhong Lin and said, "You keep an eye on the master. I'll send someone to the streets to see if we can get any reliable information."

Compared to Zhong Lin's dislike for Gu Shuyan, Wu Ying didn't have as many opinions about Gu Shuyan.

Of course, Wu Ying could understand why Zhong Lin acted this way, since Xu Feng wouldn't have died at the hands of the Crown Prince if he hadn't gone to deliver a letter to Gu Shuyan.

Zhong Lin glanced at Yun Yichen lying there and muttered, "What's the use of getting information if the person is dead?"

Of course, this was just his complaint; the next second he nodded at Wuying.

When Yun Yichen woke up, it was already late afternoon. Looking at the sky outside, he rolled over and sat up.

"Master, you're awake?"

Zhong Lingang brought in a bowl of medicine and saw Yun Yichen sit up, so he quickly put the medicine down and came to greet him.

Where am I?

Before Zhong Lin could answer his first question, Yun Yichen continued with his second: "How is she?"

The "she" in question naturally refers to Gu Shuyan, and Zhong Lin's smile faded.

"she......"

Zhong Lin didn't know what to say, but luckily Wu Ying walked in.

"My lord, please accept my condolences. The Crown Princess and the young grandson are truly gone. The Crown Prince has publicly stated that the Crown Princess had been bedridden for a long time and died of illness. However, I spent money to find a reliable person to inquire, and only then did I learn that the Crown Princess was poisoned by the Crown Prince."

Some things you're bound to know sooner or later, so it's better to tell him now than to be heartbroken when you find out later.

Yun Yichen had already fainted because he learned about this, and now that he heard that Gu Shuyan and her son were really dead, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"master!"

Zhong Lin was startled and quickly walked to the window to wipe it.

Yun Yichen raised his hand to stop him, then wiped his hand and asked, "Where are they now?"

Yun Yichen's body was like a candle flickering in the wind, and Wuying dared not provoke him.

"Speak quickly!"

Yun Yichen, not content with Wuying's thoughts, spoke in a somewhat hoarse voice.

After a moment's hesitation, Wuying finally told Yun Yichen the truth.

"According to the people in the Crown Prince's residence, the Crown Princess and the young prince were not in the prepared coffins, but were thrown into the mass grave yesterday."

Wu Ying was afraid that Yun Yichen wouldn't be able to handle what she heard, but this time, Yun Yichen wasn't as fragile as they thought.

"Hehe, once the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked; once the person leaves, the tea grows cold. In the end, she still couldn't escape it."

Yun Yichen had long known that with the Gu family dead, Gu Shuyan would not have a good ending, but he never expected that Lu Youming would hate her so much that he would not even give her a complete corpse.

If you despise her so much, why did you lie to her and marry her in the first place?

Yun Yichen's smile sent chills down Zhong Lin's spine. They had seen their master in all sorts of cold and aloof ways, but this was the first time they had ever seen him smile so terrifyingly.

"master!"

Zhong Lin called out, bringing Yun Yichen back to his senses.

Then he said, "Help me to the mass grave!"

As Yun Yichen tried to stand up, he braced himself against the bed. Zhong Lin grabbed him and said, "The Crown Princess was thrown into a mass grave yesterday. How could she possibly be found today?"

In fact, what Zhong Lin was thinking was that a woman like Gu Shuyan deserved her death, so why bother looking for her body?

"Perhaps something will be left behind."

When Yun Yichen said this, it was as if he had drained all his strength. He didn't want to see her die a gruesome death, but even more so, he didn't want to see her without a place to rest after death, forced to fight for food with those lonely ghosts.

At Yun Yichen's insistence, the two took him out of the city and headed straight for the mass grave outside the city.

Meanwhile, at the foot of the mass grave, a pair of men dressed as imperial guards were already waiting.

The carriage sped closer, and as soon as the squad leader saw the approaching people, his eyes lit up, and he made a hand gesture to his men.

Everyone was poised to act, their swords slightly drawn from their sheaths. A guard saw the carriage about to pass by, pulled on the rope, and the horse on the carriage was tripped and lurched forward.

When Wuying and Zhong Lin felt the carriage swaying, they knew something was wrong.

"Oh no, we've fallen into their trap."

The two quickly jumped out of the carriage and stood by it. As for Yun Yichen, he realized that he had been tricked by Lu Youming, so he slowly stood up from the carriage.

"Judging from this, this must be the Grand Secretary?"

Squad leader King Yun Yichen. In the past, someone of his status would never have been qualified to meet Yun Yichen face to face. But now, he has become one of the people who have seen the face of the Ghost-Faced Yama.

After killing these three people here, not only will I be promoted and made a fortune when I go back, but I'll also have a good topic of conversation.

With a bright future in mind, the squad leader smiled as he looked at Yun Yichen.

Yun Yichen's cold gaze swept over them, no less intimidating than when he wore the mask. The squad leader's smile froze, and he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

"You are one of the dog emperor's men."

Although Yun Yichen was asking the squad leader, his tone was already quite certain.

Although rumors circulated that he was dead, and many people had even seen his body, the emperor searched through his mother's belongings but couldn't find what he wanted, so he would inevitably continue to suspect him.

Furthermore, the act of faking death was used twice in a row. Lu Youming might not be able to tell, but how could the emperor not?

The squad leader was somewhat frightened upon hearing this, but he looked at Yun Yichen and forced himself to remain calm, saying, "Since you know this, then obediently submit to the law, and perhaps you can at least get a whole corpse."

"Whole corpse?"

Yun Yichen couldn't stand hearing that right now. He looked at the squad leader, who seemed calm on the surface, but his eyes were already darting around.

With a cold snort, before anyone could react, Yun Yichen kicked one of the team members in the chest.

"You think you rabble can touch me?"

Yun Yichen's movements were so fast that he didn't even see how he made his move.

The almost bloodshot eyes of the person before the king made the squad leader regret his actions for the first time in his life. If only it hadn't been him who came today.

There's no going back in life, so no matter what the squad leader thought, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and send his men on.

Facing three experts, even the Imperial Guards were no match. After several rounds, more than half of the Imperial Guards were killed or wounded. In addition, Yun Yichen was like a rampaging beast, and these people were no match for him.

Finally, a small squad of more than twenty imperial guards was wiped out by them.

His gaze fell on the squad leader, who was still lying on the ground in shock, and Yun Yichen walked towards him unhurriedly.
