Chapter 541 Bloodline
It seems that Ye Fusu did a lot of immoral things when he was possessed by the old god Fusu, so Charles is wary of him now.
Time was running out, and many things were difficult to explain, and there was no time to explain them. Shen Weiyang only looked at Charles anxiously and said, "Duke Charles, he won't betray me. Time is running out. We will leave here immediately after we make sure you are safe. If you need any help, I hope you can tell me. Only by telling me can we help you."
Seeing that Charles was still hesitant, Shen Weiyang said to him directly according to her inner guess: "We just learned that one of our companions who came here is Princess Anna's child. He is the child of Princess Anna and a bodyguard who was guarding her back then. When the child's father saw Princess Anna's pottery figurine, he broke down and told us what happened back then."
"Have you seen that child?" Charles was indeed deeply shocked when he heard Shen Weiyang say this. "He, he is still alive?"
Shen Weiyang: "Don't you know he's still alive? I guessed wrong. Wasn't Gu Wanzhou asking about the whereabouts of that child just now?"
Charles covered his face with his hands dejectedly, and when he put them down again, his eyes were filled with sorrow. "I haven't had any contact with that child and Wu Xiao since I settled them down."
"Anna is my niece. I watched her grow up. At that time, I had already begun to suspect that the sudden appearance of snakes eating people in some places in the country was related to Ye Xiuli. I was the only elder Anna could entrust before her death, so she asked me for help. When Ye Xiuli took her away, I told her to take care of her child and Wu Xiao, and not let Wu Xiao seek revenge. Ye Xiuli took the child away."
"The so-called elixir of immortality that Ye Xiuli was researching required the sacrifice of a close relative, someone of royal blood or his own. Anna best met this requirement, but when he took Anna away, she committed suicide, ruining his plan. So, in his rage, he made her into a terracotta figurine and tortured her in a snow pit."
"He needed a human sacrifice, so he'd been searching for that child all these years. Later, Wu Xiao was sent to No Man's Land. To protect that child, I sent him directly to Cell No. 86."
Shen Weiyang looked at Charles in shock. She never expected that the person who sent Wu Bo to No. 86 was actually him.
"Yes, it was you who sent Wu Bai in. Why, why did you do this?"
A place like Prison No. 86 is no better than falling into Ye Xiuli's hands.
Charles' eyes slowly filled with guilt. "I know I'm sorry for the child, but Zhao Zhao, I can't help it."
"Ye Xiuli is very powerful in Country Y. It's only a matter of time before he finds the child. The most dangerous place is the safest place. Although Su Yu's place is also dangerous, at least Ye Xiuli can't control it. I'm a little afraid of him. I can only plan to have Su Yu lock the child up in Unit 86, so that Ye Xiuli will think the child is dead and will never find him again."
"Anna would rather die than let Ye Xiuli's plan succeed. This child is Anna's flesh and blood. I believe he would rather suffer than disappoint his mother."
"As for me, that kid has every right to hate me. I've lived to this age, so he can kill me or chop me up as he pleases."
After Charles finished speaking, Shen Weiyang and Ye Fusu were silent.
It is indeed cruel to send a child to Prison No. 86, but he is right. Anna would rather die than help Ye Xiuli. As Anna's child, how could Wu Bai become Ye Xiuli's sacrificial tool?
Charles' voice continued to echo in the air, "I really don't know the whereabouts of that child right now, but Gu Wanzhou doesn't believe me. Plus, because of my research on the dragon-spine snake, she's kidnapped me. Ye Xiuli must be worried about something happening with his elixir, and since I have some knowledge in this area, he wants my help."
"Zhao Zhao, leaving this evil behind for a thousand years will only lead to more harm. You must leave here now and take that child away. Don't let him fall into Ye Xiuli's hands."
After hearing so much inside information, Shen Weiyang felt very uneasy, as if something was going to happen.
"Wait for me here. I'm going to go find Wu Bai and Brother Liu now. I'll take you away from here in the evening."
Charles was right. If a madman like Ye Xiuli really succeeded in refining the elixir of immortality, it would only bring disaster to more people. They couldn't let him succeed.
“Miss Shen, now that you’re here, why are you still thinking about leaving?”
When Shen Weiyang and Ye Fusu were planning to retreat first, Gu Wanzhou pushed the door open and Liang Zhishen, with a scar on his face, followed behind him with Liu Xiaowu and Wu Bai.
Shen Weiyang’s eyes trembled.
Gu Wanzhou looked at her and sneered: "Do you really think I don't know you are here? Shen Weiyang, you made it easy for me to find you."
Shen Weiyang ignored her, but looked at the sleeping Liu Xiaowu nervously, with a bad premonition.
Wu Bai's red eyes further confirmed her guess - there must be a dragon-spine snake in Liu Xiaowu's body.
Gu Wanzhou took them to a dungeon and locked them up, and took Ye Fusu away.
"Cousin Ye, you are my grandfather's grandson. How can you help outsiders deal with your grandfather?"
Ye Fusu sneered, having already foreseen his fate: "Grandpa? He kept me here, probably because he wanted to sacrifice me in the end."
If Wu Bo couldn't be found, since he had Ye Xiuli's blood flowing in his body, Ye Xiuli would probably just throw him down as a sacrifice as a last resort.
This unscrupulous beast, his blood is as cold as a snake.
Gu Wanzhou smiled slightly and said, "You are the only bloodline of the Ye family. Grandpa cherishes you so much. How could he let you be sacrificed?"
"After all, when your father was thrown down, he wasn't of much use."
What?
Ye Fusu's pupils constricted as his eyes widened. His fists clenched instantly, and he asked her in a hoarse voice, "What do you mean? Was my father pushed down by him too?"
Shen Weiyang also felt a chill all over her body. She couldn't believe that Ye Xiuli was so cruel and crazy that he could even sacrifice his own son for the sake of immortality.
Gu Wanzhou's gaze fell on Wu Bo, who looked full of hatred, and sneered, "Then you have to blame his stubborn mother. She was going to die anyway, so why couldn't she help her biological father before she died? There's nothing I can do. I don't have enough materials, so I can only try to ask your father to fill the gap. Who would have thought that your father is also a waste. Without royal blood, he can't help his father even if he bleeds himself dry."
