Chapter 755 Questioning (4th update)
"Speaking of this..." Yun Cheng laughed, "You sent Ah Qi to his hometown to investigate. Calculating the time, he should be back soon."
Shen Yanchuan nodded, "When he comes back, let him find me first."
"yes."
Lian Zhou also knew about this, but he didn't take it to heart.
Ah Qi has always been elusive, and even they may not see him very often on weekdays.
Since the master has arranged it this way, he must have his reasons.
"That Fan Chengzhuo is truly a stubborn man. Even after all this, he still insists that all those things were his own doing, and he wasn't ordered to do so by anyone else." Lian Zhou sighed. "It's not an exaggeration to say he's a loyal and courageous man, right? I just don't know how his master managed to make him follow him so wholeheartedly."
Yun Cheng thought this matter was very simple.
"If he doesn't do this, he has no other way out, right? I think he's doing this for Zheng Baosu. As long as he doesn't choose to betray his master, his powerful master might still come to his rescue."
"No way?"
Lian Zhou is a little unbelievable.
"Zheng Baosu's crimes deserve even ten thousand deaths. Even with extraordinary abilities, I'm afraid he can't be saved. Is Fan Chengzhuo crazy?"
Yun Cheng paused. "You're not entirely unreasonable. Fan Chengzhuo seems to treat his master very differently. He seems to... think he's omnipotent."
This is almost a kind of religious worship, which is really unbelievable.
Lian Zhou shrugged. "Anyway, I don't think he'll last a few days. Maybe he'll come to terms with it before he dies."
Shen Yanchuan took one last look at the three-edged dart.
"Don't worry, when the time comes, everything will come out."
Now, just wait patiently.
…
It was getting dark.
After Si Kou Ji finished feeding Tuoba Yu the medicinal food, he saw that his complexion was finally better than before, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said with relief, "Wait a few more days, Your Highness will feel better, and we should be able to go back."
Tuoba Yu leaned against the head of the bed, his spirit still quite depressed.
He had a high fever for two days, and it finally subsided. He was sweating all over, and his clothes were soaked and stuck to his body, making him very uncomfortable.
But because the wound on his shoulder was still festering, he couldn't take a shower and could only wipe it with a hot towel dipped in water, so he was still in great pain.
The continuous mental blows and physical torture have exhausted most of his energy.
Even after hearing Si Kou Ji say this, he felt no ripples in his heart.
——Go back? What would happen if I went back?
He was ruined, and everything was different.
Before, he was crazy about wanting to survive, but at this moment, he gradually calmed down and realized how ridiculous his idea was.
"Where is the teacher?" Tuoba Yu asked weakly.
Si Kou Ji looked embarrassed.
Shui Xingqiu has been going out early and coming back late these days. Except for the first time when he came to take care of Tuoba Yu's health, he has been outside all the time.
Even he only asked once or twice and didn't say anything more, let alone others.
"Master Shui is out." Si Kou Ji replied, "It seems... he's busy with matters concerning His Highness."
Tuoba Yu was stunned for a moment, "Really?"
Si Kouji tilted his head and coughed a few times before continuing, "This... should be the case. He went to the Yunlai Tavern the day before yesterday. I heard that it was opened by Ye Yunfeng's sister. I think the Shui family head must feel unfair for your Highness after suffering such a setback this time. Especially that Ye Yunfeng——"
Seeing that Tuoba Yu's face was getting worse and worse, Sikou Ji's heart skipped a beat and he stopped talking immediately.
"...In short, if Your Highness is humiliated, it is our fault! Since Patriarch Shui is your teacher, he must also want to seek justice for you."
Although Sikou Ji had many complaints about Shui Xingqiu, he knew very well that Shui Xingqiu was now deeply trusted by the monarch and Prince Su, and his position was solid, which he could not shake.
So on the surface, he would not deliberately pick a fight with the other party, but would be friendly with them instead.
——He would never be stupid enough to cause trouble for himself.
As expected, the expression on Tuoba Yu's face relaxed a lot. "I see... I said, Master won't stand idly by. It's just..."
His face darkened.
"But I heard that Ye Yunfeng is not easy to deal with, and his sister is even more complicated."
Tuoba Yu was locked up in the palace for many days. Although he could not move, he could still occasionally hear the idle chatter of some palace maids and guards.
He had heard of Ye Chutang's name.
Si Kou Ji didn't know much about these things. When he heard him say this, although he was a little confused, he didn't really care.
They'll be leaving soon anyway, so why bother?
Sikou Ji certainly knew that Tuoba Yu wanted revenge, and he also knew that Shui Xingqiu's recent actions were actually the same as Tuoba Yu's thoughts.
——He had to do something, find an excuse, to exonerate himself, so as to remove himself from the incident of Prince Su's defeat.
But that’s none of Sikou Ji’s business.
He didn't want to know how Shui Xingqiu was going to give an explanation to the king.
So, Si Kouji paused for a moment, and then patiently advised in a low voice.
"Your Highness, we all feel the same way. But now is not the right time. Your health has not recovered yet. How can we..."
Before he could finish his words, familiar footsteps were heard outside the door.
Si Kou Ji immediately shut up and looked back, and sure enough, it was Shui Xingqiu who had returned.
Seeing the person coming, Tuoba Yu immediately became more energetic.
"teacher?"
Shui Xingqiu walked in and first took his pulse before nodding gently, "Your Highness is feeling much better."
"Master Sikou said it was all thanks to you."
Tuoba Yu had not been fully awake before, so I did not have time to have a good chat with him.
Just now, when he heard Si Kou Ji say that Shui Xingqiu went out for him, he was even more touched. When he saw Shui Xingqiu again, he felt even more intimate with him.
"You've been out and about all day, haven't you? Come sit down and take a rest."
Such a respectful and polite attitude would certainly make others feel terrified, but Shui Xingqiu did not.
He nodded calmly and naturally and sat down on the stool.
"Your Highness is in good health, but you still need to rest."
Seeing that the two of them were "having a very pleasant conversation", Sikou felt extremely embarrassed and tactfully withdrew.
"I have some things to take care of. You two can chat first. If you need anything, just call me."
Si Kou Ji personally closed the door and ordered the guards outside to move further away.
Only Tuoba Yu and Shui Xingqiu were left in the room.
Tuoba Yu looked at him and asked the question he wanted to ask most.
"Teacher, have you met Xiao Chenglin?"
Shui Xingqiu nodded.
Tuoba Yu frowned, clenched his fists, veins popped out on the back of his hands, and anger appeared on his pale face.
"Teacher, have you ever asked him for me why he hid in the palace that day and never showed up? And to this day, he hasn't said a single good word for me!"
