Chapter 27 Silence
But Shen Sui sat opposite, looking very serious. Wu Chun had no place to vent his anger, so he could only eat cakes and drink wine. Suddenly, his whole face turned pink, like a red plum covered with frost and snow in winter, with a stunning beauty under his cold white skin.
Shen Sui put down his chopsticks, stood up and stood beside Wu Chun, leaning forward slightly, "I feel a little bit wronged now, why don't you let me taste what that pear blossom pastry tastes like."
As he spoke, he moved closer to Wu Chun, and could see the fine hairs on Wu Chun's face illuminated by the golden afterglow of the setting sun. Wu Chun's reaction was a little slow due to drinking, so Shen Sui actually came close to him, and could smell the faint and cool sandalwood scent on him, as well as his hot and sultry breath.
Wu Chun suddenly woke up.
Who is this?
This is Shen Sui! The person who killed her in her previous life!
She shrank back suddenly. Shen Sui held the back of her head for fear that she would fall. Because of her resistance to him, the warmth in his eyes that had finally melted away gradually turned into chilly coldness.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
Wu Chun was completely sober, and still had some fear of him in her heart. When his eyes turned cold, it was never a good thing. So he said, "No, nothing..."
Shen Sui's eyes gradually softened, and he leaned over and pecked her lips. He felt that the person in his arms trembled slightly. I don't know if it was because she thought of a few days ago, her body was very resistant to his breath, as if he was some kind of scourge. Just kissing her, her hands clenched her sleeves into many wrinkles.
Wu Chun did not only think of her past life, but also of a few days ago, which was why she did not want to be treated like that again.
Shen Sui's eyes were indifferent, and he slowly squatted down. Because of his tall stature, he only slightly raised his head to look at her, "Are you afraid of me?"
Wu Chun answered almost instantly, "Afraid."
If she said she was not afraid, it would be difficult to explain her resistance to him just now. Although this person's mind was hard to figure out, after spending so many days together, she could see that he was a person who would not tolerate hard things but would be soft to soft.
Shen Sui should not have been surprised, but his heart inexplicably seemed to be cut by a knife, "I apologize to you for what happened in the past."
Wu Chun saw his dense and long eyelashes drooping quietly, and he was really apologizing to her. She was a little surprised. When did Shen Sui apologize to others again?
"But many apologies in this world are always too late, so they seem... insignificant."
Wu Chun saw Shen Sui clench his hands hanging at his sides, and his knuckles turned white due to the force.
She felt inexplicably happy. She didn't
know where this happiness came from.
Maybe everyone has a vengeful heart. Seeing Shen Sui apologizing to her now, seeing him worried because of her, she found a rare pleasure of revenge from him.
Shen Sui asked: "What else did I do wrong? Not just a few days ago."
High in the sky, the last ray of orange and red of the setting sun was also swallowed up by the green mountains in the distance. The setting sun always domineeringly dyed the green mountains into its color, but it could never escape the fate of having its light swallowed by the green mountains.
When the setting sun completely disappeared, Fengchun Palace also darkened.
Shen Sui's face was shrouded in the shadows, but his eyes were particularly clear.
Wu Chun just smiled and shook his head.
Regardless of whether he believed in the theory of past and present lives, even if he knew about her tragic death in the past life, what could he do?
He has always been a cold-hearted person.
It is impossible for one person to change any other person.
Naturally, she could not shake Shen Sui's nature.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Shen Sui seemed to understand.
He stood up, "What I don't know, I will know sooner or later. Remember, as long as you live, you will be my, Shen Sui's, wife."
Then he walked out, with his back to the light, and the whole person was about to merge into the dark sky.
Wu Chun showed a smile that was not surprising but also a bit bitter.
Look, he was always like this, he would only keep her by his side and never asked her whether she was willing or not.
...
After this unpleasant parting, Shen Sui continued to investigate Xie Ruan Ruan's case, while the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice did not seem to make much progress in the case of Shen Gong being poisoned.
Not long after, Wu Chun heard the news that Xue Shoude was going to flee the imperial capital.
And Shen Gong, after the efforts of the eight imperial doctors who had exhausted their lifelong knowledge, woke up, but he was a little weak.
Wu Chunpan calculated for a while, then suddenly slapped the table and said to Jinglian and Yuli: "Prepare a carriage for me. I need to leave the palace. I will say that I am going to visit the Third Prince. If they do not let me go, show them this letter that Shen Sui gave me."
The letter was written by Shen Sui a few days ago, saying that he was busy and that he would come to see her again if he had time. There were only a few lines, but there was the seal that Shen Sui carved himself. The word "Sui" was not used, but "Ci Ning".
Not to mention that she had previously helped the Dali Temple to investigate the silver bracelet case. If she went to the Dali Temple, others would only think that she had some strange ideas to solve the case. She just took this letter and said that Shen Sui missed her. The people in the palace would let her go after a quick scan and seeing the seal.
Wu Chun added hastily, "Quick!"
She went to the storehouse, found some poison powder, and found a dagger, hiding it in her sleeve.
The two maids did not dare to delay, and quickly prepared a carriage for her. After leaving the palace, Wu Chun said to the driver, "Go to the suburbs. My husband said in the letter that he chased the suspect to the suburbs and stayed there for several days. Of course, I have to go find him."
The driver said yes.
But the two maids knew that Wu Chun was lying!
This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team for you.
Shen Sui never mentioned that he went to the suburbs!
Although she was usually calm and intelligent, she was panicking now and whispered, "Your Highness, are you going back to Southern Xinjiang now? We haven't prepared anything, are we just going like this?"
Wu Chun said, "Be patient, you will know tonight." This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team.
It was already night when we arrived at the inn. There were two stars in the sky, but they were soon covered by thick dark clouds. The wind whistled through the hall, causing the old wooden windows of the inn to creak and shake, like a dying person with tuberculosis coughing hoarsely.
Yu Li looked at Wu Chun who had been guarding the window, and couldn't help hugging herself, "Your Highness, what are you looking at? It's very cold tonight."
Wu Chun just looked out the window quietly. She asked for a room on the top floor for the wide view from the high ground.
Wu Chun remained silent. "If we can't wait tonight, we'll wait another night."
Yu Li and Jing Lian looked at each other. What on earth was it that made them wait so long here?
When it was midnight and both of them were drowsy, Wu Chun suddenly said, "I got it!"
Under the night sky covered by thick black clouds, the streets of the imperial capital were silent. Only a few households lit faint candles. The sound of the night watchman's clapper became farther and farther away. When the sound faded completely, a masked man in black came out from the corner of the street.
He looked terrified and looked around from time to time. He was carrying a heavy bag on his back. It was probably because he had taken all the more valuable items from home.
He seemed very tired, and seeing that he was only a short distance away from the capital, he relaxed and sat behind the counter of the steamed bun shop, which happened to cover his entire body. He
pulled off his face scarf.
It was Xue Shoude!
But Xue Shoude didn't expect that where he walked, several black-clothed men with knives walked out quietly. They were like his shadows, following him all the way, and finally found the opportunity. They
approached him, closer and closer...
closer and closer...
Just when Xue Shoude realized that something was wrong, his mouth and nose were suddenly covered by someone!
At the same time, Wu Chun, who had been observing from upstairs, shouted, "Shen Gong!"
Her fingers tightly grasped the window sill, leaving crescents on the wood with her nails. She had a soft voice, but she used all her strength to shout it out in the lonely night, and people far away could hear it.
The men in black subconsciously stopped and looked for the source of the sound, slowing down for a moment. This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team
Xue Shoude was a thief with a guilty conscience, so he reacted quickly. He immediately broke free, jumped a few steps away, and screamed, "Sure enough
, it's Shen Gong's people!" He was so scared that he ran wildly on the road, shouting, "Someone is going to kill people - someone is going to kill people -"
The men in black would not let him escape, so they chased him. One of them was unwilling to be teased and looked for the place where the sound came from behind. Wu Chun had already closed the windows and lights, and there was nothing unusual outside.
Wu Chun listened quietly in the darkness, and heard Xue Shoude's voice getting smaller and smaller, and then suddenly disappeared.
Her heart began to beat violently.
Tonight until now, everything was in her plan.
Xue Shoude is so impatient and stupid that he will definitely not be able to survive the long investigation of the case by the Dali Temple. He must be worried every day. The only
thing he can do is to escape.
On the other hand, Shen Gong wakes up and can definitely guess that it is Xue Shoude who wants to murder him. He has so many enemies, and only Xue Shoude, a reckless man, would be so reckless as to dare to frame him at the birthday banquet.
He cannot tell others that he has a grudge against Xue Shoude, otherwise the dirty deeds he and Xue Shoude did when building the dam will be exposed.
He can only kill Xue Shoude secretly.
Tonight!
Wu Chun is betting on whether Shen Gong will come in person.
With his vindictive and arrogant character, he must see the death of his enemies with his own eyes to relieve his hatred. Wu Chun had heard in his previous life that he liked to torture and kill people who bumped into him, so he was very likely to watch Xue Shoude being tortured to death.
But there was still poison in his body, would he risk coming to guard nearby?
If he came, the man in black would soon notice the abnormality of her voice just now, and while notifying Shen Gong, he would look for the location of the voice.
If she was discovered, she would definitely be silenced!
Wu Chun said to the two maids, "I'm going to be out for a while. No matter what happens, don't come out. Lock the door and open it when you hear something. If I don't come back by dawn, you can say... that I'm dead."
...
Shen Gong was sitting on the top of a teahouse. Through the gap in the window, with the help of the candle at hand and the moonlight leaking through the dark clouds, he could see the scene below clearly, and he also heard the voice of "Shen Gong".
Unfortunately, when he locked the direction of the sound, the lights in the guest house diagonally opposite had gone out.
Shen Gong smashed a teacup to pieces, his eyes were so sinister that he seemed to be able to eat a living person!
After a while, a man in black appeared beside him, "Your Highness, Xue Shoude has fallen into a coma. How do you want him to die? Just now, a shout suddenly came from the sky, which delayed our subordinates for a few moments. I guess our plan tonight has been known to someone. Do you want to wipe out the root of the problem?"
"If we don't kill him, we will keep a handle on him so that he can come and find me? Search him for me! It's in the inn across the street!"
"Yes!"
