Chapter 181 The Traveler
Shen Yu had never thought of this. Xuan Lin and Zhao Xian's only child was actually hiding in Chengyuan Mountain.
Shen Yu found it a little funny: "You told me this, what do you want me to do for you?"
Wen Yu had been in Yue for several years, and he had suffered a lot. Now Shen Yu had gone to great lengths to send him away, but secretly he didn't want him to get involved in the struggle between the royal families again.
"Shuyu, that child... I just hope he can survive." Zhao Xian's voice was as thin as a mosquito. "You don't have to look for him. Just let him live his life as an ordinary person. It's better than knowing that his father and mother are so ugly."
Shen Yu didn't say anything. He squatted in front of the wooden door, as if there were tens of thousands of mountains between him and Zhao Xian.
"Just one thing... just one thing!" Zhao Xian started to cough violently. She slapped the wooden door hard with her palm and said in a tearful voice, "Sui Yu, this is the last thing I ask of you... You can't let him occupy Xuan Lin's body like this! This bastard is so shameless! Kill him..."
Shen Yu heard some clues from Zhao Xian's intermittent words. The things that he had been completely confused about but had been vaguely suspicious about for those years were slowly revealed with the appearance of Coal Ball.
Shen Yu lowered his voice: "Who is this he you are talking about?"
Zhao Xian accompanies Xuan Lin every day, and she probably knows more than Shen Yu imagined.
"I don't know who he is either." Zhao Xian said, "At first I just thought Xuan Lin had changed, but when I looked deeper, it turned out not to be the case at all."
"If he was blinded by greed, I could understand his change of temper. But his hobbies, habits and even taste in food are completely different from before. How can I not be suspicious?"
Zhaoxian was Xuanlin's first wife. Xuanlin married her when he was still a prince. For many years after that, Xuanlin did not take another concubine. Later, even when Xuanlin had just ascended the throne, he never thought of taking in many concubines.
But after he fell seriously ill, everything suddenly went in the opposite direction and plunged them both into the abyss.
"He doesn't know the writing style of Yue, and he can't understand those memorials." Zhao Xian sneered, "He can't write, and he doesn't even know how to grind. As for riding a horse, shooting arrows, and reciting poems over wine, he is completely clueless."
“He’s just a completely different person.”
Shen Yu lowered his eyes, his fingertips trembling unconsciously, quietly revealing the shock in his heart.
"I didn't believe in ghosts before, but now I have no choice but to believe it." Zhao Xian's voice was hazy. "I was by Xuan Lin's side the night he died of illness. He stopped breathing for half an hour, and then suddenly recovered. Since then, everything has changed."
"If it wasn't for the ghost, I really can't think of any other reasons." Zhao Xian was stunned. She stopped where she was and grabbed her hair. "He often said something I couldn't understand. In the middle of the night, he used a knife to carve something on his bedside. I didn't dare to get close to him because he often went crazy..."
Shen Yu understood the whole story after hearing this. He looked up and suddenly realized that he could no longer remember what Xuan Lin looked like before he ascended the throne. Although his face was similar to the current one, it had become blurry now.
"He is indeed not Xuan Lin." Shen Yu's voice was dry. He stood up and said to Zhao Xian through a door, "Your Majesty died early. Queen, what should you do in the future?"
Zhao Xian remained silent. She coughed twice and said, "Don't worry about me. My body won't last much longer. If you get the chance in the future, you must kill this tyrant and take back Xuan Lin's body."
"This way... we can rest in peace."
When Shen Yu heard the sound of footsteps outside, he collected his thoughts, whispered a few words to Zhao Xian, and then quickly left the woodshed in the cold palace.
The guards who had previously searched returned to the cold palace. Mu Yuyi found no trace of the suspect and conducted a second search.
Shen Yu had already changed his clothes and walked out of the cold palace. He put on a secret guard mask and walked straight towards the bedroom where Xuan Lin was.
Seeing this, Gouqiu Tousheng felt that something was not right. He asked tentatively, "...You are not going to kill Xuan Lin, are you? I am not a talkative person, but with our abilities, we will probably die if we go in."
"Of course not." Shen Yu was not yet overwhelmed by emotions. He said, "I just want to make things clear and go to... take a look at the coal briquettes."
"The coal ball has an extraordinary sense of perception, we may not be able to get close to it..."
Shen Yu suddenly stopped, lowered his body and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Yu rolled his eyes slightly and said, "Let's go back to Kunning Palace first. I haven't taken back the three books left there yet."
There is still residual energy in the golden book that Meiqiu gave him before. If they use the residual energy in it, perhaps they can hide their breath temporarily.
With a flash of light on his body, Gouqiu Tousheng flew in front of Shen Yu and praised him repeatedly: "Oh, you are such a smart guy! Why didn't I think of this? Go, go!"
Shen Yu: “…”
Most of the guards in Kunning Palace were withdrawn, and all the palace maids and eunuchs who were previously in charge of surveillance had fled, leaving only a few guards at the gate of Kunning Palace.
Shen Yu climbed over the corner of the inner wall under the cover of night. The guards outside were lax, so he walked into the inner hall with ease and took out the three books hidden under his bed.
Fortunately, the guards did not conduct a detailed search of the entire Kunning Palace, and the three books remained in their original locations and were not damaged.
The top golden book cover cracked, and the wound continued to expand like a spider web. The entire cover flickered, and Shen Yu touched it in his hand, feeling the roughness of the flesh.
Shen Yu did not stay on the golden book for long. He turned to the red book at the bottom with a clear purpose, wanting to see what happened after Wen Yu left.
His yang energy value increased so much for no reason, he must have encountered something.
Shen Yu frowned secretly. He was not by Wen Yu's side, and he was always worried that Wen Yu was alone and had no one to rely on, and would be easily bullied outside.
After all, Wen Yu is the real little white flower.
【They are all lying to me. 】
【They are abandoning me.】
[Everything you said is fake, all fake...]
[…Fake! Fake! Get out of here! You want to snatch everything from me, you want to fight with me for everything! Bring him back… Bring him back! ]
[I want crabs, crabs! Crabs, crabs, crabs, crabs… crabs, crabs, crabs! ]
【Tens of thousands of river crabs are omitted here. 】
【…Kill them back. 】
Shen Yu: “…”
Shen Yu was silent for a moment, looking at Gouqie Tousheng, hesitant to speak: "Gouqie Tousheng, if you have time, go back and see Wen Yu. He doesn't look very well mentally."
"He's fine. I didn't detect any danger around him. But you are in a much more difficult situation than him. I have to protect you first."
