Chapter 159 Going to the Inner Temple

Wen Yu still remembered Mu Yuyi's figure. That day, he stayed outside the inner hall with his secret guards, mistook Wen Yu for Shen Yu, and said a lot of unbearable words to her.

He even forced Shen Yuci to lie under him.

Wen Yu's breath was disturbed for a moment, he leaned behind Shen Yu and hugged Shen Yu's neck tightly with his arms.

Now he has little power, and Mu Yuyi is the leader of the dark guards, so he has no advantage in a direct confrontation with Wen Yu. Wen Yu's eyes were dark. He saw the two figures in the forest fighting each other, frowned slightly, and then turned his head to look away.

It seems that he needs to recover his strength as soon as possible.

Shen Yu had no time to pay attention to what was happening behind him. He sensed the conflict between the two people outside the dense forest, and quickly adjusted his direction and left from the path beside him.

Ying Shiqi is both good and evil, and Shen Yu cannot control his thoughts. For example, when Ying Shiqi was resting in the forest, he knew that Shen Yu and Wen Yu fell into the well but did not rescue them. He had to wait until Shen Yu climbed out by himself before throwing him the iron chain to do him a favor.

Now Mu Yuyi has rushed over after hearing the noise, and Ying Shiqi has asked Shen Yu to leave and deal with it alone...all his actions seem strange and unreasonable.

Shen Yu frowned, but without further thought, he found a secluded place and put on human skin masks for himself and Wen Yu.

There were few palace servants on the way back, but there were still some. After Shen Yu replaced his own face, he replaced Wen Yu's face with Danqing's. Wen Yu had been out for a while, so in order not to arouse suspicion, they had to go back before dinner.

Wen Yu could barely walk a few steps, and they avoided the time when the palace servants were checking and patrolling, and took advantage of the free time to return to the inner hall of Kunning Palace one after another.

Wen Yu collapsed on the edge of the bed after returning home. Water drops hung on his hair and his face was as pale as paper. But he always liked to endure and said nothing, just clenching the surface of the bedclothes with his hands.

Shen Yu glanced at him, took out the clean clothes from the closet and walked over.

"Go take a shower later, and I'll change the bandage for you." Shen Yu took off Wen Yu's clothes and pants. He looked down and saw that the wounds where Wen Yu's tendons were broken were healed again. "I'll carry you over."

The skin on Wen Yu's legs was pale, and the wounds were swollen and purple. He smiled and said, "I'm not disabled. I can walk by myself."

Shen Yu held Wen Yu's ankle with his palm. He lowered his eyes to look at the swollen flesh on his leg, vaguely recalling some similar pain he had experienced long ago.

"Really not necessary?" Shen Yu squatted in front of Wen Yu, his face up, his eyes half-curved, no smile at all.

He continued, "My Lady, it's not shameful to be held by me. The inner palace is so secluded, and this matter will only be known to the two of us even if we die. What's more, I am timid and dare not go out and tell others about it behind your back."

"Are you timid?" Wen Yu glanced at him. "I've seen you do a lot of bad things behind my back. What were you doing in the backyard today?"

The bloodstained rag was still in Shen Yu's sleeve. His expression remained unchanged as he slowly spoke, "Ying Shiqi asked me to meet him there, saying that the owner of the building had new orders. I didn't expect that the secret guards discovered it."

Wen Yu snorted: "What about Qingyu? Why is she there too?"

"I don't know." Shen Yu frowned slightly, "She might be with those secret guards."

Wen Yu was still a little skeptical when he heard this. His lower body was completely naked, and the wet long gown on top was still sticking to his body, bringing a slight chill.

Shen Yu placed the clean clothes beside him next to Wen Yu. Without saying anything more, he went outside to get some hot water and poured it into the bathtub.

Wen Yu leaned against the bedpost, watching Shen Yu going in and out, his black pupils occasionally flashing.

Shen Yu went in to test the water temperature and walked out again after finding it was fine. Seeing Wen Yu standing still, he asked, "Madam?"

Wen Yu looked tired. He didn't raise his eyelashes until Shen Yu walked in front of him. There was an unclear mist in his black pupils.

Shen Yu understood Wen Yu's meaning in an instant. He pretended not to know and repeated, "My Lady, the water is ready. Shall we go now?"

Wen Yu stammered twice, and after drinking the warm water, his lips looked better, and his complexion recovered a little. At this time, he stared at Shen Yu sinisterly, and after a few seconds, he stretched out his hands somewhat stiffly.

Shen Yu was completely unmoved: "My Lady, what do you mean?"

Wen Yu pursed his lips. He was silent for a moment and then said, "...carry me."

Shen Yu smiled silently, and strode forward, holding Wen Yu's waist and hugging him. Wen Yu looked thin, but he was still a man. Shen Yu held his hips with one hand and hugged his waist with the other hand.

"Didn't you say you could walk on your own?" Shen Yu said mockingly, "I was just about to give you a cane."

Wen Yu was a little embarrassed. He was silent for a moment and whispered to Shen Yu, "I'm just giving you a chance to show off. Why don't you take the shortcut? I'm not stupid."

Shen Yu knew that he was trying to make up for himself. Wen Yu was unwilling to be at a disadvantage in many aspects, and had to be bossy and act superior, so that he could show his authority.

This is also the temperament that Kunning Palace has developed over the years.

Shen Yu didn't say much to him. He stepped into the bathtub and asked casually, "Oh, do you want me to carry you back after you finish bathing?"

Wen Yu's voice was choked up, and his words were interrupted in the middle, and he fell silent again.

"Do you want it?" Shen Yu glanced at him.

Wen Yu hesitated much less this time than before. He pondered for a moment and then nodded.

It was normal for him to be at a disadvantage as his skills were not good enough now. Wen Yu let Shen Yu take off his underwear. He looked at Shen Yu's eyebrows and eyes in the mist lingering around him and sighed secretly.

Only when his power is restored, he can occupy the upper position like Mu Yuyi. At that time... Shen Yu will not be able to refuse him.

Just bear with him for now.

"Empress?" Shen Yu had already taken off all of Wen Yu's clothes and placed them next to the jade table and chairs. He turned and walked towards the bathing pool, and saw Wen Yu still standing there, looking around vaguely.

He had been experiencing this strange phenomenon since he came back. Shen Yu's mind became increasingly depressed. He suspected that Wen Yu also knew something, so he whispered to him, "Madam, what are you thinking about?"

Wen Yu remained silent. When Shen Yu approached him, he stepped into the pool beside him. His long black hair was still floating on the water surface. Shen Yu could only see Wen Yu's back to him in the rising mist.

"Nothing." Wen Yu leaned against the jade stone beside the bathtub. After a few minutes, he spoke to Shen Yu, "Do you want to join us?"

Shen Yu was in the aisle next to the bathtub at that time. He was stunned when he heard Wen Yu's voice.
