Besides, now that these people have discovered that she is missing, it may not be so easy for her to come out next time.
While paying attention to the movements outside, Shen Yu was searching without destroying the things in Yueqing Wang's room.
But after searching around, she found no evidence of any contact between Prince Yueqing and court officials.
Du Shuyan was very sure when she spoke to her, and Shen Yu also agreed that Prince Yueqing could not be really innocent.
After another careful look, Shen Yu still found nothing, and stood up discouraged.
"My Lord, Shen Yu is missing."
The voices and footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Shen Yu felt his heart in his throat.
The King of Yueqing has returned.
She looked around the room, trying to find a suitable hiding place.
The furnishings in Keleqing Wangwu were simple. After looking around, she fixed her eyes on the wardrobe.
Before she could think about it, the angry voice of King Yueqing sounded at the door.
"A bunch of losers who can't even keep a madman under control."
Shen Yu didn't care about anything else and quickly hid in the closet before Prince Yueqing opened the door.
The moment she closed the wardrobe, the door was pushed open.
Prince Yueqing walked to the armchair and sat down. When he picked up the tea, his eyes fell on the long table, and then slowly retracted them.
Was he mistaken? Why did he feel like someone had been in this room, yet the things seemed to be arranged very neatly, with no signs of being rummaged through?
"Your Highness, calm down. They have already gone to look for them."
Prince Yueqing snorted coldly, "What else can you do besides calming down?"
The subordinate shut his mouth and stood aside, silent.
Prince Yueqing didn't want to say anything more. He picked up the tea and brought it to his mouth again. The smell floating in the air made him stop and frowned.
The subordinate thought that the tea temperature was not right and was about to go forward to ask, but King Yueqing's gaze drifted towards him.
"Do you smell anything?"
The subordinate's nose twitched slightly, then shook his head.
Shen Yu, who was hiding in the closet, tried to shrink his body further to prevent the smell from emanating from his body.
As she moved, her back accidentally touched a bulge, and then she fell backwards.
The noise she made was very small, and she was some distance away from Prince Yueqing and the other man, so she did not attract their attention.
"How many days have you not bathed?"
There were only two of them in the room, so if the smell wasn't from him, it could only be from his subordinates.
It's the kind of stench that comes from not having a bath in a long time.
"I just bathed yesterday."
The subordinate even smelled himself on purpose.
…
Shen Yu was so scared that he closed his eyes and waited to be discovered when he leaned back.
But she waited for a long time and did not hear the voice of King Yueqing.
She slowly opened her eyes a little, and what came into view was a secret passage. The secret passage was eerily quiet, with candles on both sides swaying gently.
It turned out to be a secret passage.
Shen Yu was so surprised that she dared not speak. She turned her head to look at the place where she had just fallen in, and the door was closed.
So she entered the secret passage by touching the mechanism in the closet?
Shen Yu retracted his mind and walked forward cautiously in the dim candlelight of the secret passage.
Since the mechanism of this secret passage is in Prince Yueqing's wardrobe, Prince Yueqing must know about it. Maybe Prince Yueqing's secret is hidden in it.
Thinking of this, Shen Yu couldn't help but speed up his pace.
After passing through a secret passage and going down the stairs, a spacious secret room appeared in front of me. The secret room was empty, and there were also a few candles lit. There were several bronze mirrors placed around the candles, making the secret room look particularly weird.
Shen Yu moved his feet gently, and the sound of his shoes rubbing against the floor was infinitely amplified in the silent chamber.
Suddenly, she noticed that there seemed to be something on the ground in the center of the bronze mirror.
Because the secret room was dark, Shen Yu couldn't tell what it was.
She exhaled heavily and walked closer to the thing she was not sure what it was.
When she got closer, she saw from the light reflected from the bronze mirror that there seemed to be a person crawling on the ground.
Shen Yu took a step back, staring vigilantly at the person whose face he couldn't see clearly, and asked with a trembling voice.
"You... who are you?"
Her voice was not loud, but it was particularly clear in the quiet room.
Seeing that the people on the ground were silent, Shen Yu frowned and repeated it again.
She was sure that the person on the ground was still alive because his back was still rising and falling, and he was obviously breathing.
Shen Yu hesitated for a moment, then turned around and planned to get a candle to see what the man looked like.
When she turned around, her own reflection in the bronze mirror frightened her so much that she almost screamed.
Who is the Prince of Yueqing trying to scare to death by putting so many bronze mirrors here?
Shen Yu patted his chest and calmed his heart which was beating wildly because of fear.
The people on the ground must be mute, so they can't hear themselves talking.
When the candlelight was brought over, Shen Yu kept cheering himself up.
Now that you are here, you should find out what is going on. Don't be afraid.
After mustering up her courage, she slowly squatted down and approached the person on the ground with a candle.
When she got closer, she realized that the person on the ground was wearing tattered clothes, his hair was even more messy than hers, who was pretending to be crazy, and even the smell on his body was a bit worse than hers.
She didn't know whether she was too scared or because she smelled too bad that she ignored the unpleasant smell.
"Hey," Shen Yu raised his hand and patted the man's shoulder, "Who are you and why are you here?"
The person on the ground still didn't speak, but his body was shaking violently.
Not knowing where the courage came from, Shen Yu lifted up the trembling head on the ground.
"ah--"
Seeing the face of the person on the ground clearly, Shen Yu screamed in fright, and the candle in his hand rolled to the ground.
She didn't care about the candle that fell to the ground, and slowly backed away from the fallen body.
"Who are you?"
Shen Yu didn't dare to look directly at this person. What on earth did he do to be tortured like this?
The person on the ground had dense scratches on her face, without a single piece of good skin. This was not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing was that her nose was also cut off, leaving only two holes. Coupled with her terrifying face, Shen Yu was frightened.
It seemed that the other party wanted to speak, but no sound came out. Instead, the chain on her feet made some noise when she tried to sit up.
"You can't speak?" Shen Yu picked up the extinguished candle on the ground and lit it again. She mustered up the courage to look at the other person, only to find that the tongue of this horrible woman had also been cut off.
She tried to communicate with the other party, but he just huddled aside and couldn't give her any useful information.
Is he crazy?
"Who are you? I'm not here to hurt you."
The other party lowered her head, as if she had just scared Shen Yu. She did not look at Shen Yu, but slowly raised her hand and pointed at the ground.
"I asked you who you are and why are you pointing at the ground?"
After Shen Yu finished speaking, she slowly moved away and pointed to the ground.
