Chapter 172 Going to the rescue
In the end, Shen Yu only gave Gouqie Tousheng 100 Yang points. Gouqie Tousheng had just gotten 1 million from Meiqiu, but he was asked for too much and couldn't digest it, which made him feel uncomfortable.
But even so, it still has to extract some Yang energy from Shen Yu.
"What Coal Ball gave me is different from what you gave me. You are the host I am bound to, and it is an outsider. I am still closer to you." Gouqiu Toutuosheng shook his head.
Shen Yu was silent. He took off his coat and put it aside, then said, "Okay, if you are not feeling well, stop talking. I know what you mean."
It secretly rejoiced, and lay back on its mechanical bed, obediently putting away all the light from its body.
Shen Yulin turned around and looked at him before leaving. It took less than three seconds for Gou Qie to fall asleep. It was a system that could program itself to fall asleep quickly.
Shen Yu looked at it for a while. He saw that the mechanical bed was stuck on the edge of the window and was about to fall. After hesitating for a few seconds, he walked forward and put the bed and the ball on his bed.
Shen Yu covered it with a quilt without any feeling, then he opened the pearl curtain and walked towards the innermost room of the inner hall.
The person on the bed was motionless. Shen Yu couldn't see Wen Yu's face in the dark, he only saw him with his back to the door, wrapped in quilt and looking like he was sleeping.
After washing up, Shen Yu walked towards the bed with light footsteps. Wen Yu's breathing was steady. Shen Yu fumbled and grabbed a corner of his quilt, and after getting on the bed, he stretched out his hands to hold his waist.
Wen Yu did not respond, Shen Yu held him to his chest without saying a word. He traced Wen Yu's thin spine upwards, from the waist and abdomen forward, and slowly felt out the shape of his ribs on the back.
He is much better than when I first saw him. He is no longer so skinny. He has gained some flesh and feels normal to the touch.
Wen Yu half-buried his face in Shen Yu's collarbone. He didn't know why his breathing gradually became uncontrollable. He blinked silently in the darkness: "Shen Yu——"
Shen Yu was not surprised at all: "Madam, it's so late, why are you still awake?"
"How can I sleep when you're touching me like this?" Wen Yu said in a bad tone. He also touched Shen Yu's back and asked, "Is Ying Shiqi gone?"
Shen Yu smiled: "He left a long time ago, didn't your Majesty know?"
"I slept with him before, how would I know him?" Wen Yu said calmly, "What did you talk about?"
He had actually used the five senses pill to listen to Shen Yu and the others' conversation thoroughly before, and what he said now was just a formality. Ying Shiqi was also a small figure in the studio. Wen Yu originally wanted to eavesdrop on some important secrets from him, but he didn't expect to hear some secrets about Mu Yuyi.
He actually recognized the wrong person.
Shen Yu knew Wen Yu's thoughts very well. It was impossible for him to just sit there and do nothing. Since he wanted to eavesdrop, Shen Yu might as well say something nice for him to hear.
It would also prevent him from gritting his teeth thinking about Mu Yuyi every day.
"My queen, I will help you rescue those fellow disciples in a week." Shen Yu gently rubbed the unevenness on the right half of Wen Yu's face and continued, "If they want to leave, you have to leave too."
Wen Yu closed his eyes and felt the warmth of Shen Yu's palm. Hearing this, his nerves suddenly tensed up and he opened his eyes: "...What do you mean?"
"The host has already asked the infiltrated shadow guards to prepare a carriage at the palace gate. After rescuing those people, you can blend in with them and leave with them." Shen Yu said.
Wen Yu's face was slightly stiff: "What about you?"
"Of course I will go with the queen." Shen Yu said calmly, "On that day, we will act separately. If the plan succeeds, you put on the mask and leave. Go and meet them first, and I will be the last one with Ying Shiqi."
Wen Yu frowned: "But if there is no one in Kunning Palace, it will arouse suspicion."
"I've calculated that a week later, Eunuch Li will go into Kunning Palace at night to draw blood as usual." Shen Yu narrowed his eyes, pinched Wen Yu's earlobe with his fingertips, and asked, "Can the queen do it alone?"
Wen Yu easily understood the meaning of Shen Yu's words. There was no one in Kunning Palace, which would easily arouse outsiders' suspicion. However, Li Yongquan rushed to send a living person to Wen Yu that day.
Wen Yu laughed and said, "If Eunuch Li knew you were planning on hitting on him, he would probably be so angry that he would die."
Shen Yu was not touched at all. He closed his eyes and reminded Wen Yu, "Madam, there are drugs and hemp ropes under my bed. Remember to tie the knot when you tie someone up."
"Also, be careful."
Wen Yu hummed, touched Shen Yu's Adam's apple with the tip of his nose, and closed his eyes and said, "I'll wait for your news."
"Okay." Shen Yu pulled the quilt up a little, covering half of his and Wen Yu's faces, and said, "My queen, I haven't finished the mask yet. There is no good material in Kunning Palace. It's not worth your ten gold bars."
"I've already thought of it. When we get out, I'll find a chance to carve it again for you." Shen Yu said, "If the golden mask is too heavy, you can throw it away."
Wen Yu almost forgot about this matter. When he heard Shen Yu mention it, he said, "Wait until you make me a new one, then I'll consider whether to throw it away."
Shen Yu closed his eyes. He seemed to have expected Wen Yu to answer like this, and he agreed easily: "Okay."
Shen Yu and Ying Shiqi's action date was set at midnight a week later. In half an hour, Li Yongquan would come to take blood as usual, and this gap in time was left for Wen Yu to prepare.
Wen Yu's leg injury has almost healed, and his skills have recovered to about 70% of their previous level. Although it is not as good as his peak period, it is not difficult for him to deal with Li Yongquan.
Shen Yu gave Wen Yu the entire departure route map. He would not stay in Kunning Palace at that time, and everything depended on Wen Yu to go out and explore on his own.
A week passed in a flash. Shen Yu paused as he left the inner hall. He turned his head and looked back. Wen Yu was standing behind the pearl curtain. His hair was down to his waist, and the half of his face that was exposed was flawless. He was still wearing the white jade robe that Shen Yu had seen the day he first arrived.
Shen Yu looked at him standing in the shadow of the inner hall. He didn't know what he was thinking about and didn't say anything for a while.
Wen Yu seemed to sense something. He walked a little further outside into the light and asked, "Shen Yu?"
Shen Yu's thoughts returned when he heard the voice. He smiled and said, "My queen, see you later."
Before Wen Yu could answer, Shen Yu turned around and walked out. The door of the inner hall opened and closed, and the room fell into silence again.
Shen Yu took advantage of the darkness and walked quickly towards the marked area in the backyard in the empty corridor.
Ying Shiqi's whereabouts were unknown, but he was reliable when it came to getting things done. Shen Yu didn't know what means he used, but he did manage to get the key to the secret passage that Mu Yuyi carried with him within a week.
