Chapter 139 A Brief Look

Wen Yu immediately opened his eyes alertly. When he saw Shen Yu wiping his hands while walking out of the cubicle, he asked, "Are you ready?"

Shen Yu smiled: "Not yet, I'll continue tomorrow."

He was still standing in front of Wen Yu while he spoke. Wen Yu quietly moved her eyes back a little. The door of the compartment was wide open. It was empty inside. All the medicinal herbs had been hidden in another place by Shen Yu.

Really good at hiding.

Wen Yu looked away, and he seemed unconcerned: "How long will this take?"

"Three days at most." Shen Yu went outside the beaded curtain, took off his coat, and estimated the time. "Your Highness, please bear with me. I don't have much anesthetic on my hands, so it may still be a little painful after the wound is opened."

Wen Yu looked at Shen Yu through a beaded curtain. Shen Yu was sitting on the edge of the bed, cutting off the candle core of a red candle.

The surroundings were pitch black. Wen Yu fell asleep after seeing this. "These are nothing. Just do it."

"good."

Shen Yu fell silent after he finished speaking. He was a little tired after being busy for several hours, and soon fell into a light sleep after lying on the bed.

The room was completely silent. Apart from the occasional sound of palace maids' footsteps outside, the only sound inside the room was their soft breathing.

It continued to work by the window. Coal Ball gave it one million Yang points, and it had to work overtime to store all the Yang points into its own system library.

About half an hour later, a slight rustling sound was heard in the inner hall.

"Shen Yu?"

The program that was loading data paused, and it floated to Shen Yu's side alertly, paying attention to the movements around it.

Shen Yu closed his eyes and did not respond. The voice called out twice more tentatively, and then the rustling sound became louder.

In the dim light, Gou Hue saw another figure behind the pearl curtain climbing up from the bed. He looked at Shen Yu's bed through the pearl curtain for a while, then tiptoed into the room where Shen Yu had previously used to process medicinal materials.

After just a few minutes, Wen Yu came out of the room again. He closed the door, pulled up the quilt again and lay back on the bed.

Survive and survive: "..."

It tried to understand the human's thoughts and continued to load its data page. It lowered its sphere and just after adjusting the program, it met another pair of open black eyes.

"!!!" Gou Qie Tou Sheng was so frightened that his mind jumped wildly, "You haven't slept yet?!"

Shen Yu pinched his brows and said, "I slept, but I didn't fall asleep."

Living a life of seclusion: "...Is it because my light is too bright?"

"No." Shen Yu turned aside, closed his eyes again, and said, "Some people are not honest at night and like to disturb people's sleep."

Gou Qie turned the ball around and looked behind the beaded curtain, also a little curious: "Where did you hide the things?"

Shen Yu didn't say anything.

Gu Qie secretly guessed, "Under your bed?"

Shen Yu hummed: "Under his bed."

Survive and survive: "..."

Wen Yu spent the next few days reading medical books in the house. He walked past Shen Yu's bed several times as usual, but found nothing useful.

Only once did he see a book with a strange cover on Shen Yu's bed. It was hidden under the quilt, with only a pure red corner showing.

Wen Yu picked it up and flipped through a few pages while Shen Yu was away. He thought it was some medical book, but when he opened it, there were only a few lines of words.

[She has a thin waist, rounded hips, and butterfly bones. She looks good. It would be a treat for the eyes if she stayed. Forget it... I'll just stay for now, just to kill time.]

【Dead thing.】

【It makes me upset just looking at it. 】

[What are you pretending to be? Do you dare to take off your pants? ]

[…Ah, it hurts so much. ]

Wen Yu: “…”

The content of the book is chaotic and disorganized, with no connection between the context, let alone the so-called underlying logic.

Wen Yu only read a few lines and inexplicably felt a little weird and... ashamed?

The voices of palace maids talking came from outside the door. Wen Yu quickly collected his thoughts. He stuffed the red book back to its original place and walked quickly back to sit behind the pearl curtain.

Shen Yu came in a few minutes later. He usually took an hour or two in the afternoon to observe the situation around Kunning Palace, and this time he also brought back a bunch of herbs.

"My queen, I went to the backyard today, but there was no one there." Shen Yu put everything on the table as he did before. He looked outside and said, "The palace maids and eunuchs don't go there to get water. They all take a detour to the pond."

Wen Yu was used to it. He said, "There are often pythons in the backyard. Now that summer is approaching, there are more poisonous snakes. Of course, they dare not go there."

Wen Yu raised her eyelids and looked at Shen Yu: "What are you doing there? The herbs I planted are not there."

"I went to take a look out of curiosity." Shen Yu said, "Besides, there is no one watching there, so it is easy to move."

Wen Yu snorted: "If you are bitten by a poisonous snake, no one will save you."

Shen Yu: "My Lady, you won't save me either?"

"Life and death are determined by fate." Wen Yu said calmly, "The most I can do is suck out the poison for you."

Shen Yu nodded: "How do you suck it?"

Wen Yu: “…”

He frowned and glanced at Shen Yu. For some reason, he suddenly thought of the contents in the red book. Those words appeared in his mind, and Wen Yu's face suddenly became a little uncomfortable: "...suck it with your mouth."

"Okay." Shen Yu smiled. "Since the queen is willing to help me, I will let you suck it when you are poisoned one day."

Wen Yu curled the corner of his lip, turned around, and saw Shen Yu walking into the compartment with the pile of herbs in his hand.

Shen Yu has been following this schedule for the past few days. After digging up some herbs in the afternoon, he would go into his cubicle and never come out. Wen Yu couldn't see what was going on inside, and was just flipping through medical books as usual.

The time Shen Yu spent in the compartment this time was shorter than before. Around midnight, he came out of the compartment again, carrying his things.

Wen Yu had already made preparations. He paid attention to the palace maids in the outer hall and extinguished the red candles early on, claiming that he was not feeling well. He also dismissed several eunuchs near the door.

"Can you see like this?" After the curtains were drawn, the whole room was pitch dark. Wen Yu sat on the bed and could hardly see Shen Yu's face.

Shen Yu put Gouqiu Tousheng aside and said, "My lady, my eyesight is good, you don't have to worry."

As he spoke, he gestured to Gouqie Tousheng to turn up the brightness. Gouqie Tousheng was speechless for a moment, but he still changed the program to emit white light.

Shen Yu's origins were unknown, and he knew many things that Wen Yu had never heard of. Wen Yu looked at the blurry shadow in front of him in silence for a while, then stretched out his right leg.

"My queen, relax. Tell me if it hurts." Shen Yu held Wen Yu's right ankle with one hand. He stroked the sunken skin on his heel with his thumb and felt the slight shiver on Wen Yu's body.
