Su Wanyan got up early, and just after she finished breakfast, Wang Awu appeared at the mansion with his apprentice.
After having a general discussion with Su Wanyan, Wang Awu took his apprentice to the backyard, intending to start the repairs there.
When Su Wanyan arrived at the room and was about to knock on the door, the door creaked open.
As usual, Xiao Chensheng appeared in front of Su Wanyan with an uncomfortable fake smile.
"Oh, it's back to normal."
"..." What could Xiao Chensheng say?
What should we do first?
"Don't take anyone with you, just come out of the city with me," Xiao Chensheng said.
“That won’t do!” Qiu Ye immediately retorted, “It would be too dangerous for Your Highness to be alone.”
She looked at Su Wanyan: "Your Highness, either Guard Xiaobu or Guard Tian should accompany you."
"Then I won't go." Xiao Chensheng turned around decisively without saying another word.
"Wait, I haven't said anything yet, what's the rush!"
"Your Majesty!" Qiu Ye frowned slightly.
Su Wanyan raised her hand: "It's alright, you can wait for me in the manor. I'll go with him and come right back."
“It’s not a quick trip; you might have to leave for a whole day,” Xiao Chensheng interjected.
Huang Ye then spoke up: "It's impossible to completely prevent Xiao Bu and Tian from following her. The Prince instructed us before he left to protect the Empress. If she really has to go, then have Xiao Bu and Tian follow her from a distance. In any case, we need to find out where the Empress is going."
Su Wanyan knew this was for her safety, and turned to look at Xiao Chensheng.
Xiao Chensheng was silent for a moment, but finally relented: "Then I will follow your instructions."
Within the boundaries of Wengcheng, the mountains are rugged and the sky is filled with yellow dust.
Considering that he had to take Su Wanyan with him, Xiao Chensheng had to travel by carriage this time. The carriage traveled on the dark yellow road, and Xiao Bu and Tian Zhong followed at a distance.
According to Xiao Chensheng, if they saw the carriage stop for even a moment, they were not allowed to follow it.
Su Wanyan didn't know where he was taking her, and she curiously peeked out from behind the curtains the whole way.
But the scenery was the same everywhere, and Su Wanyan couldn't tell which way was which. Moreover, even though the road was straight, Su Wanyan always felt like it was going around in circles while sitting in the car.
But every time I lifted the curtain to look, it was just a straight road.
After an unknown amount of time, the carriage slowly came to a stop.
Xiao Chensheng's slender arm slipped through the gap in the carriage curtain and lifted it: "We've arrived."
"Hmm?" We've arrived?
Didn't they say that once the carriage stopped and Tanaka took small steps, he couldn't follow anymore?
But the carriage didn't stop the entire way.
As soon as she stepped out of the carriage, Su Wanyan's expression faltered slightly.
Between two rocky mountains, there is a three-story building with a roof made of yellow tiles and walls painted red. The color of the building is very similar to the reddish color of the rocks on both sides.
With the buildings covered in a layer of yellow dust, you wouldn't notice that there was another building sandwiched in there unless you looked closely.
While he was still in a daze, Xiao Chensheng had already walked ahead.
Su Wanyan quickly followed.
The door was pushed open very easily, as if any random stranger could enter.
However, Su Wanyan immediately sensed something was wrong. As soon as she entered, she smelled a strong stench of blood.
The building lobby was spacious, and no light from outside could get in, but at least it wasn't completely dark.
Xiao Chensheng ignored Su Wanyan's scrutiny and led her around the long corridor in the house, pushing open a very well-hidden room.
A chilling aura immediately swept over us, incredibly cold.
In an instant, Su Wanyan frowned.
This is... a morgue?
Inside the room were corpses covered with white sheets. Su Wanyan counted them; there were ten in total.
Xiao Chensheng laughed heartily and stepped inside. Seeing Su Wanyan stop at the door without following him in, he turned back and smiled, "If you're afraid, you can go home now."
"..." Su Wanyan took a deep breath.
What a joke! She's seen cadavers before, how could she be intimidated by such a small spectacle?
Thinking about it, I lifted my foot and followed them inside.
Xiao Chensheng walked up to a corpse covered with a white sheet, his smile stretching almost to the back of his ears, which was quite eerie: "First of all, let me introduce my pleasures."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and lifted the white cloth covering the corpse.
Su Wanyan's pupils suddenly contracted, her stomach churned violently, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth and gag.
As she backed away, she instinctively grabbed the wooden bed behind her where the corpse lay, trying her best to suppress the discomfort in her throat.
The corpse that Xiao Chensheng uncovered had been pieced together; a leg had been attached to the arm, and the chest and abdomen were clearly stitched together from the bodies of several people.
The corpse's face had been distorted by the manipulation...
Before Su Wanyan could catch her breath, Xiao Chensheng grinned smugly and said, "The one behind you isn't much better than this one."
Upon hearing this, Su Wanyan's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly let go of the wooden bed.
The body was also covered with a white sheet, so you couldn't see what the body looked like underneath.
But Su Wanyan didn't have the courage to get close to it again.
“You…” Su Wanyan opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end she couldn’t say anything.
What is she trying to say?
Do you want to condemn Xiao Chensheng?
She had long known that he was an unpredictable, strange, and ruthless person; wasn't the princess's tragic fate his doing?
Could it be that just because they've spent these past few days together, she thinks Xiao Chensheng is a good person?
Thinking back to the scene when Xiao Chensheng first met them, she knew that this person was not someone to be trifled with.
Now that she's the one eagerly asking him to teach her medicine, what's there to be shocked or angry about seeing this scene?
However, there was one thing that still bothered her: "Are these... all your enemies?"
Xiao Chensheng immediately realized the intention behind her words and smiled with interest: "Do you want to know whether I use living people or dead people for experiments?"
Su Wanyan clenched her fist and pursed her lips.
Xiao Chensheng brought his sinister face close to Su Wanyan's: "It's better if you don't know about this level."
He's not a good person, is there even a need to ask?
Of course, there are both living and dead people.
As if to reassure Su Wanyan, he kindly added, "But these are all dead people. After all, this is the border region, and corpses are the last thing we need."
He also took in the body of the spy from the East China Sea yesterday.
Seeing Su Wanyan's pale face, Xiao Chensheng was in a good mood: "If it doesn't work, we can go back."
Su Wanyan took a deep breath and gritted her teeth: "Just teach me, and if I can't learn it, it's my fault!"
Don't think about anything, don't think about anything, those things have nothing to do with her, she just needs to learn what she wants to learn well!
Xiao Chensheng's smile widened, and he casually tucked his long pipe into his waistband.
The next instant, with a "whoosh," two sharp knives appeared from his sleeves, and with a sound of flesh being sliced open, the corpse in front of him was disemboweled.
