Chapter 193 Master Xuantong
When their eyes met, they were filled with deep love.
Wen Wan had never doubted Shen Yu's sincerity, and she knew that this man would keep his word.
"Whatever I do, you won't stop me?"
Wen Wan asked in a deep voice, "Even if... I want to use this fake child in my belly to frame the Queen, causing the Shen and He families to fall out, and pushing the Shen family to the forefront of the storm?"
In the end, she still chose to be a human being. What was wrong with those innocent people who died tragically at the hands of the guards at the temple fair?
The Empress gave an order, completely disregarding human lives. What does it mean to ordinary people and imperial power?
And what about Shen Yu, who is loyal to this imperial power?
This was why she found it difficult to speak out what was on her mind.
She had no intention of forcing him to make a choice; she just wanted to use her limited power to do something meaningful.
She was ready to be scolded by Shen Yu.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"I thought you were going to do something that would destroy both you and your family, and I was really worried. So, is that it?"
Wen Wan blinked, "What do you mean? You won't stop me? Don't you and He Qingqing seem to be very close?"
Shen Yu lifted her arm and bit it.
Wen Wan grimaced in pain, "What are you doing?"
"leak!"
Shen Yu glared at her before explaining.
"You're not really pregnant. This 'child' must be resolved. I was planning to create an accident so you'd lose this 'child' and forget about it. I didn't want to make a big deal out of it."
It’s not because he was afraid of confronting the He family, but because he didn’t want to push her in front of others.
He sighed softly, "Given He Qingqing's style, I will never associate with him. Let's fight him. My Shen family is so confident that we don't have to fear the He family. But, Xiaowan... are you sure you want to get involved and put yourself at the center of the storm?"
From what he said, it seemed like she was doing something unnecessary?
However, after hearing his words, Wen Wan's unhappiness was mostly dissipated.
Her eyes rolled, and her demeanor suddenly changed. She coquettishly took Shen Yu's arm.
"Just join the game, I have you to protect me. You are a great general, but you can't protect your own woman?"
Shen Yu: "...Now, you are my woman?"
Wen Wan was thicker-skinned than a city wall and shook his arm.
"I am. Didn't you want to see me change clothes just now?"
"Since you're quite conscious and have clearly drawn a line between you and He Qingqing, and haven't held me back, and are even ready to lend me a hand, when we get back, I'll satisfy you with whatever you want to see, not to mention changing clothes."
"Heh," Shen Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, "Are you seducing me?"
Wen Wan waved her hand, "Not really. With our relationship, why are you being so distant?"
People who have no shame are truly invincible.
Shen Yu finally met Wen Wan, the woman who was like a dog-skin plaster, again.
"Shameless!"
He sneered and was about to reach out to open the door, but he paused, turned back and said in a low voice:
"As I said just now, you can see it everywhere when you get back, but you are not allowed to go back on your word."
Wen Wan: “…”

Outside the door, Meng Jin and the person who came to report the news were waiting at the bottom of the stairs.
When Meng Jin looked up, he saw Wen Wan holding Chen Yu's arm, and her hand in her sleeve couldn't help but curl up.
He didn't show it on his face, but stepped forward and said, "General Shen, your wife's accident happened suddenly. I have ordered the court doctor to check on her. Please be at ease, General Shen. Your wife is blessed with good fortune and will be safe and sound."
Shen Yu responded lightly, then followed Meng Jin into the garden.
On the rockery, there were crowds of people in an octagonal pavilion.
Zhao was sitting on a stone bench. She was not unconscious as the messenger said, but she had just hit her head and a doctor was treating her wound.
Opposite Zhao, the queen sat upright and said a few words of concern.
Behind her, a master holding Buddhist beads had a solemn expression on his face.
At the entrance of the pavilion, Zhou Lingling was wandering anxiously.
When Zhou Lingling saw Wen Wan and her group appear, her face lit up with joy, but because there were so many people around, she had to suppress her emotions.
Shen Yu and his group stepped forward and first saluted the Queen and Prince Cang.
The Queen waved her hand and said, "General Shen, please don't be polite. Go and see Madam Shen. She fell pretty hard."
Shen Yu hesitated for a moment before walking forward to Zhao.
In front of everyone, Shen Yu asked calmly: "Are you okay?"
Four words, so unfamiliar.
Hearing this, the Queen couldn't help but glance sideways, while Zhao blushed, lowered her eyes and shook her head, "General, I am now fine."
Shen Yu responded, "Once your wound is treated, I will send someone to take you back home..."
"General, no!"
The one who spoke to stop them was the master holding Buddhist beads.
Shen Yu raised his eyes and asked coldly, "Who are you?"
Seeing his rude attitude, the master remained calm, but the queen stood up to smooth things over.
“General Shen, don’t be rude. This is Master Xuantong.”
Master Xuantong?
Wen Wan thought carefully and remembered this person. She had heard a story about him from the little sisters in the backyard.
It is said that when the emperor was young, he suffered from a serious illness, but was saved by the guidance of a high-level monk.
In that story, the name of the enlightened monk seems to be Xuantong?
The status of a master who saved the emperor's life can be imagined.
A fierce gleam flashed in Shen Yu's eyes, and he bowed and said, "I've heard of your great name for a long time. I just don't know why Master Xuantong refused to send Zhao back home. What's the explanation?"
Master Xuantong looked profound, fiddling with his Buddhist beads while saying:
"I have been traveling the world, teaching people. Half a month later, I observed the stars at night and noticed a change in the Purple Star. I then rushed to the Imperial Capital. Unexpectedly, I discovered an evil spirit haunting the city."
"I have been searching all the way here. As soon as I arrived at the Meng Mansion, I felt the call. Fortunately, I was able to awaken Madam's mind in time. Everything is fate, and Madam is a blessed person."
He spoke in a very serious manner, and there was indeed some profound mystery in his words.
Those present were all experienced officials. If it were any other master, they might not believe it.
But the person speaking was Master Xuantong, who held an extraordinary status, and with the Queen present, no one dared to doubt his identity or words.
He glanced at the reactions of the people around him and frowned barely perceptibly.
The Empress acted like a supporting role, feigning worry. "Master Xuantong, are you saying there's something evil going on in the Meng Mansion?"
Master Xuantong nodded.
The Empress covered her mouth exaggeratedly, "Evil spirit? What should we do? Could it be that the evil spirit is causing Lord Meng's mother's serious illness?"
Master Yuantong closed his eyes and chanted scriptures. After a long time, he opened his eyes again.
He said sternly, "Yes! At this moment, the evil creature is in the mansion."
After a pause, he said to the queen:
"Your Majesty, please send someone to seal off the Meng Mansion immediately. This evil creature is adept at possessing people and hiding its tracks. It must be hiding inside someone. If it is not eliminated, it will bring disaster to the world."
