Hong Yu knew that anyone would be terrified by this kind of thing. Of course, she wasn't saying this simply to frighten him. "You're already very lucky. The bloodthirsty insect has integrated into your body. You can control it, but it's also slowly devouring you. The time is almost up. So, to put it bluntly, I'm here to reclaim you."
Mo Yu smiled as if he didn't care about his future at all and said, "Haha, that's quite interesting. Then, once I'm completely controlled, are you so sure you can subdue me?"
Hong Yu explained very bluntly, "If possible, I will do my best to make you my possession and help me refine Gu or something. If that's not possible, I have my own way to completely free you."
Mo Yu smiled and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to say it when the time comes, so I'll just say thank you to the girl first."
"...You're welcome." Hong Yu had originally thought Mo Yu would be shocked after hearing what she had said. But he was surprisingly calm. As expected, she still didn't know him well enough. Alas, with the current situation, there was no telling when they would be able to fulfill their previous promise and return.
Honestly, I've always wanted to go out and see the colorful world outside, but after walking this way, Hong Yu is already a little tired of it. It's not that I'm tired of the scenery before me, but the human heart.
Mo Yu stood up and added some oil to the eternal lamp. Seeing Hong Yu's eyelids twitching, he said, "It's late. You should go back first. You don't need to get involved in what's going on here."
Hong Yu stood up, yawned, and stretched to clear his mind. Then he said, "I've always done things according to my own heart."
"As long as you are happy," Mo Yu had just finished speaking when Hong Yu, who was extremely sleepy, left.
For the next three days, Mo Yu didn't go to Tang Chen's place. He spent almost the entire day and night alone in Li Xinzhai's spirit altar. It was just like when his master passed away, Li Xinzhai had been quietly accompanying him. These days, he didn't know if it was because he hadn't rested well, but he always felt that Li Xinzhai was still there. Sometimes when he passed by the kitchen, he could even see him at the door holding a small fan, helping Tang Chen boil medicine. When he turned around at the intersection, he always felt that he would suddenly appear from some strange place and call him.
Mo Yu's place had been quite quiet for the past three days, but the mansion had become increasingly noisy. There were more people gossiping, and it felt like the number of people was several times greater than before. There was no peace and quiet all day long.
On the morning of the fourth day, after trying many useless things, A Yuan decided to come to Mo Yu for help: "Mr. Mo..."
Seeing that A Yuan wasn't looking at Tang Chen properly, but was walking towards him with a worried look on her face, Mo Yu suddenly became worried: "A Yuan? Why are you here?"
After struggling for a while, A Yuan tried hard to sort out her words so that Mo Yu could understand what she meant. However, she found that she still couldn't express herself clearly. So she simply asked Mo Yu to go back with her to check on her. "My wife has been acting strangely lately. I'm afraid she's done something stupid. You'll find out if you come with me!"
On the way there, Mo Yu's brows never relaxed. If his memory was correct, he had only been in the spiritual platform for a few short days. How could the palace be in chaos in just a few days? How could these servants have such bad mouths?
Before Mo Yu could even think about these subtle changes, the person standing motionless by the window made him even more worried: "How long has she been like this?"
A Yuan said with some concern, "He's been like this ever since he came back from the West Courtyard that day. He's either silent or just looking out the window and talking to himself. He's smiling and silent for a while. It's really worrying."
Tang Chen's symptoms, according to Mo Yu's experience, weren't a serious illness, but they weren't something to be ignored. The treatment was simple; having someone by her side was enough to ease her mind. No one knew the extent of the blow to Tang Chen from Li Xinzhai's incident except herself. If she said nothing and did nothing, that would be the most worrying thing.
For Tang Chen, the closest person to her, apart from her close friends, was probably only Wang Yanzhou. Wang Yanzhou also protected her too well. If you count carefully, the number of people who could open up to Tang Chen so far could be counted on one hand: "...Has Wang Yanzhou come back in the past few days?"
When talking about this, A Yuan became depressed: "Uncle Wang said that I am too busy and I don't need to be distracted by these trivial matters."
Mo Yu was slightly stunned, then sneered: "I can't believe that Uncle Wang is so sensible."
A Yuan shook his head slightly and explained, "Alas, Uncle Wang has no other choice. After all, compared to the entire Daliang, Madam is indeed..."
"Is that what he said?"
A Yuan didn't dare to answer, so she could only quickly change the subject and skip it: "...I heard from the people in the pigeon house that Lord Shen is on his way. Maybe when Madam Shen comes back, she will feel better and have someone to talk to."
Mo Yu said, "I'm afraid I can't wait for Liang Shuyi to come back. You stay here and watch over her. Don't let any messy people disturb her. After all, I have promised others something. I will go to the military camp myself."
"But……"
Before A Yuan could finish her words, Mo Yu's long speech made her forget what she wanted to say just now: "But what? The world is important, but can we just ignore our own wife and children? Love may not be important to the emperor, but didn't Wang Yanzhou say that he has no intention of becoming emperor? If Tang Chen can't be with her even in a few short hours, instead of letting her have wild thoughts here, it's better to let me take her away and live with us in the deep mountains and forests, and never have any contact with him again."
A Yuan stared at Mo Yu in amazement for a moment before saying somewhat unsurely, "...Mr. Mo, A Yuan can't argue with you."
"If you can't convince me, just listen to me."
"yes."
When Mo Yu came to the military camp, Wang Yanzhou was discussing something with others. After hearing about Tang Chen's recent situation, he stuffed everything in his hands into the hands of Yan Shaoqing and others, and ran back with Mo Yu.
When Wang Yanzhou came back, Tang Chen might have felt a little tired of standing. Just as he was about to sit on the bed, he turned around and saw him standing behind him, panting.
Seeing him come back, Tang Chen was neither happy nor angry. He just asked calmly, "Why are you back?"
Wang Yanzhou panted as he said, "I heard from Mo Yu that you weren't feeling well, so I came back to check on you."
