Chapter 149: Incomprehensible

Shen Yu half leaned on the bed. He was quite interested in the queen's gorgeous clothes he was wearing. When Wen Yu came in, he was still fiddling with the cuffs of the clothes. The golden phoenix pattern was folded up by him, and the thin gauze was wrinkled, revealing his strong arms underneath.

"My queen, how is it?" Shen Yu saw Wen Yu coming in and tilted his eyes at him, "Does it count as winning a game?"

Wen Yu walked slowly. He looked at Shen Yu silently, from his face to his neck, and finally stopped at his thin waist hidden by his robe.

Wen Yu retracted his gaze and said in a steady tone, "What did Li Yongquan say?"

"He has no choice." Shen Yu tapped the table with his fingertips, "The path I pointed out to him is the only path he can take."

Wen Yu: "What if he wants to fight to the death?"

"He hasn't got the guts."

Li Yongquan was an old eunuch in her fifties or sixties who had spent nearly half of her life's hard work climbing up from the bottom step by step. There was absolutely no reason for him to destroy himself at this moment.

If you ask how loyal he is to Xuan Lin... Shen Yu finds it even more funny. How loyal can Li Yongquan be to a monarch who is overly suspicious and blatantly drinks people's blood? Xuan Lin drank his blood tonight.

The most urgent thing is to protect yourself.

Wen Yu approached Shen Yu. Hearing this, he raised the corners of his lips and said with an ambiguous meaning, "That's right. Someone is helping you behind the scenes. Li Yongquan can't make much of a splash."

Shen Yu paused slightly in fiddling with his sleeves.

After he entered Kunning Palace, he had little contact with the photo studio, but the housekeeper still delivered messages to Shen Yu and the owner of the studio at fixed times according to the rules.

This time, the secret guard did not rush in after hearing the noise. I guess it was because the host of the post gave the order to let the shadow guard sneak in and do something.

Shen Yu sighed and said, "I haven't been exposed yet, so of course he is willing to help me, but it may not be the case in the future."

The smile on Wen Yu's lips froze for a moment, but he still kept his lips curled up: "Oh...he thought you were a woman?"

"How is that possible?" Shen Yu glanced at Wen Yu, "He knows I'm a man."

"...He knows?" Wen Yu stood there, his eyes unchanged, just looking at Shen Yu, his lips pressed into a virtual straight line.

After a long while, Wen Yu's throat rolled, "Why do you want to be with him? He is not the same as you, and he might even attack you in the future because of his status."

"I know." Shen Yu understood his situation. He looked at Wen Yu, and after a moment of silence, he deliberately spoke, "But I'm poisoned. Now I can only listen to him."

Wen Yu's face changed: "He also poisoned you?"

Shen Yu: "Yes, don't these ladies know it?"

"How do I know all this about you?" Wen Yu frowned, his face full of gloom, and he bit his back teeth secretly, "So he forced you to do this? You didn't do it voluntarily?"

Shen Yu: “…”

He vaguely heard something strange in Wen Yu's words, but Shen Yu sorted out all the words again and didn't find anything wrong.

Wen Yu stood in front of Shen Yu, his body straight, almost like a wall.

Shen Yu saw that he looked unhappy, and after a moment's hesitation, he continued, "Ah... yes, he forced me to do that before. I was poisoned."

Wen Yu blinked, his eyelashes drooped silently, and his palms clenched into fists. The nails pierced into the skin of his palms, exuding a huge feeling of helplessness and humiliation.

Shen Yu easily noticed the change in Wen Yu's emotions. It was always difficult for Wen Yu to hide the expression on his face. Even though he was wearing a layer of fake mask, it was still easy to be exposed.

"My Lady, what's wrong?" Shen Yu stood up and walked to Wen Yu's side, his eyes moving down to his legs, "Is the wound open?"

Wen Yu did not speak. He stood in the inner hall with a chill all over his body. He paused for three or four minutes before turning to look at Shen Yu: "I will kill him for you."

Shen Yu smiled. He didn't say much. He just lowered his eyes and said, "Okay, thank you, Madam."

Wen Yu's clenched palms slowly relaxed.

He was now standing in front of the bed, only four or five steps away from the bed. Wen Yu's eyes flashed past him, and as if she hadn't seen him, she said to Shen Yu, "I can't walk, carry me to the bed."

Shen Yu did not doubt it much. The wound on Wen Yu's left foot caused by broken tendons had been torn once before. Coupled with the secondary trauma, it was normal that it would take some time to recover.

Shen Yu bent down and picked up Wen Yu. He put his arm around Wen Yu's waist and said, "My queen, we will be safe when you can really walk."

Wen Yu secretly closed his eyes and said, "I will be well soon."

"OK."

Shen Yu just responded casually. Wen Yu's tendons and veins in his hands and feet have been broken for a long time, and it will take at least three or four months to recover. In the meantime, it would be best if Wen Yu could learn to walk like a normal person.

After Wen Yu lay down on the bed, he tore off the human skin mask on his face. He stroked the surface of the mask with his fingers, and after confirming something, he threw it on the table next to him.

He pulled up the quilt and shifted his gaze to the outside of the beaded curtain.

Shen Yu was still changing into her inner garments. The empress's clothes were still too complicated, so Shen Yu took off the outer layer of gauze, and there were still several layers of gorgeous clothes tied inside. Shen Yu took them off one by one, and finally piled them on the armchair next to him.

The edge of the sleeve of his inner garment was stained with blood at some point. Shen Yu frowned and looked at the deep red inside, then tore off his garment with one hand.

With his upper body naked, he reached out and pulled out the suitcase from under his bed, then found a clean undershirt and put it on.

Wen Yu couldn't see the specific situation over there. He looked gloomy, leaning against the wall behind him and looking at the candlelight. The candlelight reflected Shen Yu's figure and movements, giving a rough idea of ​​what he was doing.

Wen Yu rolled up the medical book in his hand, and waited for Shen Yu to lie down on the bed before he stood up and extinguished the candle. Shen Yu must have been a little tired, as there were too many things to do in the early morning, and he soon closed his eyes and fell into a light sleep.

Wen Yu kept an eye on his situation. He dozed off for nearly half an hour before quietly taking out the medicine bottle from under his pillow.

When the bottle cap was opened, the room was filled with the fragrance again. Wen Yu covered her mouth and nose, waited for four or five minutes, and then put the bottle cap back on.

Shen Yu had already fallen asleep.

Wen Yu picked up the crutches beside him, walked to Shen Yu's bed, and pushed him to the wall according to the old rules. Wen Yu made room for himself, lay down on his side, and silently looked at Shen Yu's shadow in the dark.

Shen Yu didn't move. Wen Yu watched him silently for a while, then reached out and held Shen Yu's waist. He seemed to be trying to comfort him, and he massaged the skin under Shen Yu's waist with his palm.
