Bai Yumo naturally understood what she meant, but she shook her head and said affirmatively: "It shouldn't be."
"It's certain that the royal family covets it, but the Duke of Yan's mansion has the protection of the Empress's power within and the shelter of the Phoenix Power Nation outside. Friends are spread all over the world, and they are all powerful people. If the emperor really does this, then his reign will be over."
"The Queen?"
Shen Wuyu didn't understand. Since ancient times, the harem has not been involved in political affairs, and the queen is the younger sister of Duke Yan. Shouldn't she be deprived of power to prevent chaos in the court?
Seeing her so confused, Bai Yumo explained:
"Qingli's aunt is no ordinary character. Her ability to secure the throne of empress is not solely due to her powerful family background. The empress is quite scheming, ambitious but also knows how to act. She has unknowingly infiltrated a great deal of the court's power."
"Even the people around the Emperor have the Empress's influence. It can only be said that these two are evenly matched. On the surface, Qinse and Ming are in love, but in reality, they both know what kind of person their partner is.
"I guess the Emperor has more or less noticed the Empress's tactics, but he can't do anything about them. The Empress must have many spies planted by the Emperor around her. Similarly, even if the Empress noticed them, she couldn't do anything about them.
"Neither of them can defeat the other. I guess there's still some sympathy between them. It just depends on the human heart and calculations of whether the enemy can defeat the other."
Hearing this, Shen Wuyou was deeply shocked. After a little thought, he came to a conclusion.
"So, the Emperor won't be the planner, instigator, or spectator of this battle; instead, he will take advantage of this incident to personally participate in it, engaging in a grand match with the Empress and the Duke of Yan's Mansion?"
"That's right." She nodded and said, "So no matter what, Qingli will be fine. But if the emperor wins, I'm afraid the Duke of Yan's Mansion will have to bleed heavily."
"But if the Queen wins, then the Duke of Yan's Mansion will be able to remain peaceful for a few more decades, waiting for the next emperor to ascend the throne, and then the whole thing will happen again?"
"right!"
"So you want to help the Queen?"
"No, we only want to help Qingli, a disciple of Xuwang Mountain, the fiancée of the Second Prince of Huangquan Kingdom, and my partner, that's all."
"I understand." Shen Wuyou smiled.
This is a game between the emperor and the empress. No one is allowed to interfere, and no one is qualified to interfere. The Bai family has a sensitive identity and cannot be involved with any party to arouse the emperor's suspicion.
However, they are not qualified to participate in the affairs of Duke Yan's Mansion, but they are more than qualified to participate in Yan Qingli's affairs. It's a roundabout way to save the country, perfect!
"Very confident?" Shen Wuyou asked.
"Of course!" Bai Yumo raised a determined smile, but she was worried about -
"It's just that the time is a bit of a problem, Wuyou..."
"Don't worry." Shen Wuyou chuckled. "I'm fine with you clinging to someone powerful. I'll go brush up on my favorability tomorrow. It shouldn't be a big problem to survive for a year or two."
"Okay, be careful. If you see anything unusual, call us and we'll pick you up."
"I know, I know. Go to sleep quickly. I'm so sleepy..."
She yawned and waved her hands to indicate that she didn't want to listen to the nagging anymore.
Bai Yumo looked at her helplessly, then smiled: "Bye, bye, sleep well, and do your best tomorrow."
Well, I was nagged again.
Shen Wuyou quickly hung up the phone, lay down on the bed with a relaxed look on his face, suddenly smiled, and then found a comfortable position and fell asleep.
-
The next day, when the sun shone into the room, she lazily fluttered around on the big bed for a few times, sat up with her hair messy, and rubbed her eyes drowsily.
When she regained consciousness, she couldn't help but mutter inwardly:
It’s strange, why did I sleep so soundly today... without any dreams all night.
After yawning lazily, he stopped thinking about it, washed up simply, and started thinking of ways to go out and survey the terrain.
But as soon as he got out of bed and took a few steps, he suddenly felt something heavy on his feet, followed by a strange "rustling" sound.
Shen Wuyou's heart sank, and he suddenly had a bad premonition. He immediately lowered his eyes to look—
Sure enough, there was a chain shining with cold light tied around his ankle!
The material is so light that it would be imperceptible if you don't feel it carefully, but it is forged to be very hard. Shen Wuyou tried many ways to get rid of the chains, but sadly found that this one is even harder than the one in the blood pool.
That person...!
Her clear eyes suddenly darkened, her face gloomy, a hint of anger flashed across her face, she gritted her teeth, clenched her sleeves with both hands, and the good impression she had of that man instantly vanished into thin air, turning into a cold feeling.
I hate being locked up the most!
She stared angrily at the delicate, cold chain around her ankle, a sardonic smile curling up at the corner of her mouth. Then she turned around, opened the door, and instantly put on a well-behaved, naive expression as she timidly walked towards the palace gate...
Just like yesterday, the huge palace was empty, filled with a terrifying atmosphere of silence and death, and a menacing evil spirit lingered in it.
Shen Wuyou had chains hanging on his ankles, and every step he took made a harsh "clattering" sound. In this quiet and dull strange palace, he seemed even more eerie and terrifying, and there was a chilling chill.
She glanced at the chains on her feet. It seemed that they could be extended at will. Until she reached the heavy door, she did not feel the tightness or pulling on her ankles.
But, what is the maximum range of this distance?
She thought about it, and just as she was about to raise her hand to push open the dark door with strange relief carvings, she suddenly felt a chill of desolation and loneliness. Her body suddenly stiffened, and then she immediately raised a well-behaved smile and turned to look at the tall man who was approaching step by step.
"Thank you for taking me in, sir. I've been sleeping for a long time and I'm a little bored. I want to go out and take a look... sir, is that okay?"
Her eyes sparkled with hope as she looked at the man in front of her with full of anticipation. With the demon mark gone, she looked less coquettish and more elegant. Her butterfly-like eyelashes fluttered slightly, making her look very lively.
But the man obviously didn't buy it. His indifferent and deep eyes didn't change at all as he directly opened the door and walked out. When Shen Wuyou was about to follow him out, suddenly -
"Bang!"
The door was closed.
She glanced at her foot which had just been lifted but not yet put down, and then glanced at the heavy door which had been tightly closed. She endured it, but still reluctantly stretched out her finger to touch it.
As a result, the restriction on the door suddenly lit up, completely destroying her hope of getting out.
Well, no chance.
Shen Wuyou dusted off his hands, twisted his neck and waist, and returned directly to his room, where he sat in meditation and absorbed the demonic energy.
You know what, this place is really full of demonic energy.
As soon as she closed her eyes, she felt abundant demonic energy rushing towards her. Shen Wuyu raised her eyebrows and smiled. Naturally, she accepted it all and absorbed it all without hesitation.
