Chapter 142 Why Believe
"What should I do, sister? It seems like it's always been like this since I was little, always plagued by all kinds of trouble. It's obviously not my fault, but everyone thinks that someone like me who always causes trouble should be wary and should be kept away from..."
"It should be...abandoned."
"Only my sister, knowing that I'm a trouble, is willing to stay close to me. I really like my sister, and I don't want to leave her..."
As he spoke, tears actually flowed from the corners of his eyes, and his eyes gradually became lifeless.
Wen Wan became suspicious and raised her hand to touch his forehead, which was indeed very hot.
Was he confused because of the fever, so he said a lot of incomprehensible things?
"Come here, call the palace doctor, he is delirious with fever!"
After Wen Wan shouted, the steward came in anxiously to check.
The steward was frightened when he saw Yu Qiting's appearance, and immediately sent someone to find the palace physician and also sent someone to invite King Mobei.
A large group of people gathered around, and the steward kindly pulled Wen Wan aside.
"Miss Jiejie, the king will be here soon, please..."
Wen Wan immediately said, "I understand. I'll step away right away."
At this critical moment, she didn't want to meet King Mobei. Everyone knew that King Mobei was cruel by nature, and nothing good would happen if she ran into him.
When Wen Wan left, the palace physician just happened to rush over.
The palace physician who came this time was obviously dressed differently from the others. He did not wear a veil, but a half-copper mask. His face could not be seen clearly, but judging from his body shape, he should be in his thirties or forties.
The palace physician was holding a medicine box with a pattern of auspicious clouds engraved in gold lacquer on the corner.
When the two passed each other, Wen Wan smelled a fishy odor.
Wen Wan walked out of the room and looked back, just in time to see the palace physician lift the curtain and enter the inner room.
Suddenly, Wen Wan stopped and her expression changed drastically.
"Hey, Miss Jiejie, why are you still standing there? The king is already at the gate. It's too late. Hurry and go out the back door."
The steward hurried over to urge her, Wen Wan withdrew her gaze and walked towards the back door calmly.

Wen Wan was uneasy all day long.
The King of Mobei stayed in the little prince's yard for most of the day before leaving. From beginning to end, Wen Wan hid in the room and never went out.
In the evening, she planned to go and see how the little prince was doing.
However, the area around his house was strictly guarded by the Mobei King's men, and no one except a few specific people was allowed to enter or leave.
Even the queen's men were stopped outside the house.
Wen Wan understood that this was the King of Mobei's way of protecting the little prince, but it also indirectly showed that there were many people in the royal court who wanted the little prince dead.
At three o'clock in the morning, Shen Yu climbed into the house through the window again in the dark.
As soon as they met, Wen Wan couldn't wait to grab his arm and said, "Yu Qiting is Wen En!"
Hearing this, Shen Yu was not surprised, he was just curious, "How do you know for sure?"
Wen Wan pulled him to sit down and talk.
"The palace physician who treated his injuries today was not an ordinary palace physician, but a member of the high priest of the royal court. He had the mark of the high priest on his body."
Wen Wan's tone gradually grew heavier. "During this period, I've read quite a few Mobei storybooks, of all kinds. Although the plots are all fabricated, they also include some anecdotes and unusual events from Mobei."
Even though she was trapped in the royal court, she could still think of using the excuse of reading storybooks to pass the time and get to know the customs and culture of Mobei from the side.
He seems heartless, but in fact he is full of tricks.
When Shen Yu thought of this, he felt even more grateful for her intelligence. Only with her intelligence could she find a way to survive in such a dangerous environment.
"It's already this late, are you even listening to me?"
Wen Wan was halfway through her speech when she realized that the person in front of her was distracted.
She was so angry that she raised her hand and pinched his ear.
Shen Yu was caught off guard by her "attack" and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Who would believe it if he told others that he, a great general, was actually taught a lesson by pulling his ears?
This status is really getting lower and lower.
"I'm listening." Shen Yu said reluctantly.
Wen Wan finally let go of her hand. "There was a picture book that mentioned that the High Priest of the Royal Court had a secret technique that could completely change a person's appearance."
"Those who have undergone this transformation will become medicine men, and will be dependent on a special medicine for the rest of their lives. This medicine is only available to the High Priest of the Royal Court, and it emits a fishy aroma that is alluring."
At that time, when she saw this description in the storybook, she thought it was made up by the author.
Who would have thought that there really is such a contradictory and complex medicinal taste.
Wen Wan: "I smelled that special medicinal scent on the high priest. He must be carrying medicine. He came to treat the little prince. It's obvious who this medicine is for."
Except for the face, all the characteristics of Yu Qiting are consistent with Wen En.
"So, Yu Qiting must be Wen En!"
Wen Wan trembled slightly with excitement for a moment.
She thought Winn had died in the Forgotten Valley, but now he was still alive. Her joy was beyond words, but at the same time, Winn's current situation made her very worried.
His identity...
Shen Yu saw her struggle, sighed softly, and hugged her in his arms.
He soothed us gently, "Don't overthink it. Everything will work out. If it's true, as we suspected, that Yu Qiting is Wen En, then I believe... he will definitely help us escape."
Hearing this, it was Wen Wan's turn to be surprised.
Her head snapped up. "Why? Why are you so sure?"
"Back then, when Winn's origins were unknown, weren't you the one most wary of him?"
"What's more, he's now the young prince of Mobei. In public, he's ruthless and cruel, having completely inherited the brutality of the Mobei king. What makes you so sure he'll help us?"
Even she was not completely sure that Wen En, whose methods were as brutal as those of the King of Mobei, would definitely stand on their side.
But Shen Yu, who had always been wary of Wen En, did not hesitate to conclude that Wen En would help them escape.
This in itself is a huge doubt.
She asked questions one after another, almost making Shen Yu lose his temper.
It was rare that Shen Yu didn't know how to explain himself.
Wen Wan was not giving up. She asked coldly, "Did he do something to make you no longer doubt him?"
Shen Yu: “…”
What a perceptive woman!
He just said one sentence, but she captured so much of it with her keen sense.
Shen Yu remained silent, but Wen Wan became anxious.
She grabbed his arm and asked in a deep voice, "Tell me! Why are you so sure?"
Shen Yu moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he only said something perfunctorily.
"I just don't think he's an ungrateful person. You saved his life, so I think he'll let us go out of gratitude."
Wen Wan was suspicious, "That's all?"
Shen Yu coughed dryly and said with a stiff upper lip: “Yes.”
