Chapter 167 I don't know who
Shen Yu turned his head when he heard the voice, and saw the palace maid standing upright with an oval face and small red lips. When she saw Shen Yu, she winked at him suggestively.
Shen Yu: “…”
There were many spies around, so Ying Shiqi only gave a few hints. He moved back a little and slipped the note into Shen Yu's hand under the cover of his robe.
Shen Yu pinched the note with his fingertips, and after getting it, he quickly put it away, his face still calm.
The transaction process was simple and short. Shen Yu hid the things and continued to look at the attic above with his peripheral vision.
No one knew what the two people sitting opposite each other were talking about. From this angle, Shen Yu only saw Wen Yu half leaning on the armchair, holding the wine glass in front of him with one hand and shaking it, and no one knew what he was saying to Mu Yuyi.
Mu Yuyi sat up straight. He was a trained secret guard. His face was hidden by a mask and he looked straight at Wen Yu.
"My Queen, where did you go yesterday?" Mu Yuyi's hoarse voice came out from under the mask. He looked at Wen Yu and said, "I seemed to see you yesterday, but you were not in the inner palace."
"You said it looked like it, but that's because your eyes are blurry." Wen Yu met Mu Yuyi's gaze and said, "I had a headache yesterday and was resting in the inner hall. I didn't go out."
"..." Mu Yuyi's eyes darkened, "Really? Can anyone prove it? I have already asked the maids and eunuchs who were on duty in the outer palace yesterday, and they said that there was no movement in the queen's room yesterday."
"Chief, you are questioning me like this, do you have any evidence?" Wen Yu curled her lips and smiled, "It's ridiculous to say that you saw me just because you were dazzled."
Wen Yu's tone was still sharp, and Mu Yuyi sensed his hidden hostility. She held the wine glass with one hand and said, "Your Majesty, I don't mean to offend you. It's just that there are so many corpses hidden in your backyard for no reason, which is bound to make people feel terrified."
Wen Yu paused while drinking his tea. He pretended not to know and continued, "What corpse? How come I don't know about it?"
When he jumped into the well that day, he did smell a strong stench. There were countless corpses hidden in the well water, most of which had turned into bones.
"Your Majesty, don't you know?" Mu Yuyi made a gesture to the secret guard behind her. The secret guard stepped forward and placed the package in his hand on the table.
Mu Yuyi opened the package, and inside were several wet clothes piled together, with a pure black headband with a golden totem printed on it placed on top.
Wen Yu was stunned for a few seconds. He clenched his fingertips and felt a little pain in his eyes. "Chief, what is this?"
"The clothes that the corpse in the well wore when it was alive." Mu Yuyi said calmly, "These are all clothes from Chengyuan Mountain. I heard that the queen also studied in Chengyuan Mountain before, so maybe she also knew these people."
Wen Yu had a blank face and said nothing.
Mu Yuyi glanced at him and continued, "But since the Queen came to Yue State, it seems that she has cut off contact with the people on Chengyuan Mountain. Chengyuan Mountain... has also expelled the Queen from the list."
Wen Yu sneered: "You mean, I had a grudge against them, so I killed them and buried their bodies?"
Mu Yuyi didn't say anything else. He stared at Wen Yu with his dark and deep eyes, and the meaning was self-evident.
Wen Yu held the wine glass in his hand, the smile on his face faded, and suddenly without warning he threw the porcelain cup onto the table, splashing all the water droplets inside: "Chief, you are directly under the command of His Majesty, you can go back and ask him."
"Who killed these people? Why did they die? You can ask him." Wen Yu spoke word by word, coldly, "He knows better than me."
Mu Yuyi slowly narrowed his eyes, glanced at the broken porcelain cup on the table, and signaled to the secret guards behind him not to act rashly.
Wen Yu was not afraid at all. He threw down the cups and glasses on the table, stood up and left in full view of everyone.
Shen Yu was startled by the movement above. He looked up and saw Wen Yu walking down the stairs with his sleeves swung. His face was gloomy. Shen Yu took a look and quietly lowered his head to stand at the back.
Wen Yu walked quickly past Shen Yu. His aura was chilly and cold, and a gust of cold wind blew in front of Shen Yu.
Shen Yu watched him walk away, frowned, and turned his gaze to the pavilion. The secret guards who had followed Mu Yuyi before had dispersed to other places, and several palace maids were still wiping the table.
When Shen Yu saw Mu Yuyi also stand up and walk down the stairs, he immediately lowered his head.
"Cuihua, come out." Shen Yu saw Mu Yuyi's golden python shoes stop in front of him, and the voice came from above.
Shen Yu frowned slightly, and saluted, "Yes, Chief."
Mu Yuying led Shen Yu to a secluded corner in Kunning Palace. Shen Yu followed behind Mu Yuying, looking at Mu Yuying's back, but he didn't notice anything familiar about him.
...But why did he say those inexplicable words to Wen Yu?
Mu Yuyi stood in the shadows, using the shadows beside him to block Shen Yu's figure. His eyes froze for a moment before he spoke to Shen Yu, "Cuihua, when did you become so familiar with the Empress?"
There was a sense of depression and dullness in his voice, and his eyes were fixed on Shen Yu, with an inexplicable resentment in them.
Shen Yu: “…”
"I don't understand what you are talking about." Shen Yu said, "Your Majesty asked me to monitor the queen, and I am just following orders now."
"Following orders? What a true follow-up!" Mu Yuyi sneered, his eyes slightly red as he looked at Shen Yu and said word by word, "When you were making love with him last night, did you ever think of me for a moment?!"
Shen Yu: “…”
He frowned and looked at Mu Yuyi: "Why do I miss you?"
"What did you say?" Mu Yuyi was startled. He seemed to have been severely hurt. His tone was full of disbelief. "Are you trying to sever your ties with me now?"
"..." Shen Yu was puzzled. "Chief, I think you have recognized the wrong person. I have only met you twice, so we should not be too familiar with each other."
Mu Yuyi suddenly grabbed Shen Yu's sleeve, pulled Shen Yu to a distance from him, and said coldly: "Wrong person? How could I have wrong person?! I didn't even have time to help you clean up after that night. You still have my scent on you, I can smell it all!"
Shen Yu's face turned slightly cold. He pulled his sleeve and pushed Mu Yuyi aside: "I'll say it again, I don't know you, don't lean on me."
Mu Yuyi took a few steps back and bumped into the wall. He blinked and rolled his Adam's apple stiffly: "...You don't want me anymore?"
Shen Yu turned around and tried to leave: "Get lost."
Mu Yuyi raised his eyes, he suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Shen Yu's sleeve again, this time he relaxed the strength and controlled the distance.
"You can't leave."
