Chapter 140 Doubt Again
Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's excellent. This young prince of Mobei has established himself within the royal court in just six months, simply by displaying cruelty and bloodlust to please the King of Mobei. He's quite clever, and knows who in the royal court can propel him to a high position."
"Now, half of the power in this royal court is in the hands of Yu Qiting. Therefore, it will not be easy for us to escape."
After saying that, he stared at Wen Wan without blinking.
Wen Wan: "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you looking at me?"
Shen Yu frowned and said, "I suspect that Yu Qiting... is the Wen En you saved."
This sudden speculation really scared Wen Wan.
It would be fine if she had some doubts, after all, she and Yu Qiting had frequent contact, but how did he guess that?
Shen Yu said in a deep voice: "At first, I didn't think in this direction. After all, this guess was too shocking. Until I met you and found out that you were the slave he loved, I became more and more certain of this guess."
Wen Wan's expression was solemn. "When all the coincidences come together, it's hard to say it's just a coincidence."
The time when Yu Qiting disappeared at Lishui Villa, the time when Wen En appeared, the time when the Battle of Forgotten Valley and the return of the little prince of Mobei all coincided surprisingly.
Wen En's tendons in his hands and feet were broken, and so was the little prince of Mobei.
And their attitude towards Wen Wan...
Wen Wan pursed her lips and said, "I doubted it too, but I've seen Yu Qiting's face, and it's clearly different from Wen En's. I've even touched it, and that face is definitely not a mask, it's really on his face."
After Shen Yu heard this, the doubt in his eyes became even more intense.
For a moment, the two were trapped by doubts and no one spoke again.
After a long while, Wen Wan said, "Forget it. We can't leave the royal court anytime soon anyway, so we can slowly investigate these issues."
Shen Yu also nodded, "Yes, it just so happens that I am also investigating Madam Zhou's affairs."
Wen Wan: "Mrs. Zhou?"
Shen Yu responded, "When Yu Qiting returned to the Mobei Royal Court, Madam Zhou was also brought back to the Mobei Royal Court to confirm Yu Qiting's identity. Logically, as the biological mother of the young prince, Madam Zhou shouldn't have completely disappeared. But I've been asking around in the Royal Court for a long time and haven't found any trace of her."
It is impossible that only Prefect Lin was involved in the private sale of iron ore. Old Madam Zhou is crucial in this case. If we want to find out who is behind the scenes, we must follow up on the clue of Old Madam Zhou.
"Then I'll help you check it too." Wen Wan volunteered without any fear.
Seeing her serious look, Shen Yu chuckled and said lovingly, "Okay. I'll be waiting for good news from our female Zhuge."
After the two finished talking, they hugged each other intimately, cherishing the time of cuddling together during their reunion.
Wen Wan raised her hands and put them around his neck. "How can I, a female Zhuge Liang, compare to a small lieutenant like you? You even managed to sneak into the Mobei Royal Court. Are you really just a small lieutenant?"
Wen Wan picked up a strand of his hair and twirled it between her fingers, whispering, "This world is so magical. Even Wen En could be the little prince of Mobei. Then, could you, a small lieutenant, be General Shen?"
Shen Yu was startled. The topic jumped too quickly, catching him off guard.
The corner of his mouth twitched unconsciously, "What if I say that I am General Shen?"
"Haha," Wen Wan grabbed his hair and pulled hard, "You're dreaming! I was just joking, and you took it seriously? There's no way you can be General Shen."
Shen Yu was unconvinced, "Why not?"
"Because..." Wen Wan lowered her voice and whispered in his ear, "Because General Shen is impotent."
Shen Yu: “???”
When did he become impotent?
He unconsciously looked down, his face blank. He found it unbelievable that this was the reason why she denied his identity!
Wen Wan had a mysterious expression on her face. "This is a secret, and I only found out about it by chance. Just keep it to yourself, and don't tell anyone. He's your superior after all, and it's obvious he values you very much. Don't let such a small matter create a rift between you."
Shen Yu: “…”
He finally understood what it felt like to have pain but not be able to express it.
He was wondering what he should do to prove General Shen's innocence when his face suddenly darkened.
"Someone's coming, I have to go."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and kissed Wen Wan on the forehead, "Be good and don't take risks."
He left a quick warning and jumped out the window.
*
Almost at the moment Wen Wan closed the window, the door was pushed open.
Wen En stood at the door in a black robe, facing the moonlight. The veil on his face was blown by the wind, and the raised corner drew a magnificent arc.
He asked in a low voice, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Wen Wan was so frightened that her body froze. She put down her hand angrily and said, "I couldn't sleep, so I wanted to open the window to get some fresh air."
Wen En didn't say anything, just walked slowly to her side, raised his hand and pushed open the window.
A gust of cold wind blew in, making both of them shiver.
The yard was pitch black and there seemed to be nothing there.
"The night wind is too cold, let's close the windows."
Winn closed the window again, took her wrist, and led her back to sit on the bed.
"elder sister."
There was a hint of dejection in his voice, making it sound pathetic.
After the conversation with Shen Yu just now, Wen Wan began to doubt the identity of the little prince again.
Whenever Wen Wan thought about the person in front of her, who was most likely Wen En, her attitude towards him couldn't help but soften a little.
She asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Winn lay beside her legs, head tilted back, like a puppy trying to please its owner.
"Sister, I dreamed that you left the royal court and left me."
Dream?
Wen Wan twitched the corner of her mouth and thought to herself, your dream is really a coincidence.
"It's just a dream, don't think too much about it."
She pretended to yawn and said, "It's late. Go back and rest. I'm really sleepy."
Seeing this, Wen En's eyes darkened. "Sister, you're sleepy, go to sleep first. I'll stay here and guard here."
"Uh... that's not necessary." Who can sleep with a little wolf staring at the bed?
Wen En said firmly, "Yes, I will coax my sister to sleep. Can I tell her a story today?"
As he spoke, he held her feet, took off her shoes and socks, and then carefully covered her with a blanket.
He leaned back on the footrest and said to himself, "Sister, have you heard the story of the Demonic Falling Tree?"
Wen Wan was lying on the bed, her thoughts in a mess, and she said casually: "I haven't heard of it. But the name tells me it's not a serious tree."
She always spoke unexpectedly, and Winn was used to it. He just rubbed his cheek against the back of her hand greedily.
"The Demonic Meteorite Tree is a sacred tree in Mobei, growing on a high slope thirty miles from the royal court. Legend has it that as long as you swear a blood oath beneath the Demonic Meteorite Tree, any wish will be granted. Of course, there's a price to pay."
