Chapter 409 Cuizhu is dead
Beigong You looked at Feng Ming and Mai Dong, and subconsciously looked past them and looked behind him, but he did not see the person he was thinking about. A trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and then he retracted his gaze and looked at Mai Dong with a gentle expression, and said softly: "You have been running around and working hard these years, and you have worked really hard."
Mai Dong heard this and bowed respectfully with a sincere attitude and a firm tone: "It is my duty to find the princess. Your Majesty, you are too kind. On the way here, I heard some news about Master Shen."
Seeing this, Feng Ming also hurriedly stepped forward, clasped his hands together, saluted, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the princess went to the Shen family yard today, but did not see Master Shen. According to my subordinates' inquiries, he has disappeared for several days. If you count carefully, it seems that he has disappeared since the day the princess was injured."
After hearing this, Beigong You's expression froze slightly, and he asked, "Does the princess know about this?"
Feng Ming opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopped himself.
In his mind, the princess appeared distracted after learning that Master Shen was missing. She was immersed in worry and loss for the whole afternoon.
But when the words came to his lips, he hesitated again.
These days, the prince has been frustrated by the princess repeatedly, and he really can't bear to mention this matter again, which will only add to the prince's troubles. After thinking for a moment, he chose to say tactfully: "The princess learned about Mr. Shen's disappearance from his sister. As for other specific things, it seems that no one in the Shen family knows where Mr. Shen has gone. Therefore, I suspect that the news that Mr. Shen got should also be related to the Soul Exchange Organization."
Beigong You frowned and fell into deep thought.
“Continue to investigate, and make sure to find out the whereabouts of Mr. Shen. As for the Soul Exchange Organization, even if there is only a trace of clues, we must not let it go.”
Beigong You looked determined and spoke with unquestionable authority as he gave orders to Feng Ming and Mai Dong.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Feng Ming and Mai Dong answered in unison, then turned around and left quickly, preparing to launch a new round of investigation.
——
After Chu Youan fell asleep peacefully, Lin Miaoyin took Yuzhu to the next room. Seeing Yuzhu's young face full of fatigue, Lin Miaoyin felt a pang of pain in her heart, and her love was beyond words. She asked softly, "You have been running around looking for me all these years. You must have suffered a lot, right?"
Yuzhu shook her head repeatedly, her tone firm and urgent: "It's not bitter, it's really not bitter at all!"
Looking back on the past, the princess fell suddenly from such a high place. She and Mai Dong knew that the princess's chance of survival was extremely slim. But they were always unwilling to face the cruel result, and kept a faint but stubborn expectation in their hearts.
Yuzhu asked anxiously and cautiously, "Princess, how did you miraculously survive that life-threatening situation?"
When Lin Miaoyin heard this, her originally calm face froze instantly.
She lowered her eyes subconsciously. How should she answer this?
After I woke up, all the memories of my time travel disappeared without a trace.
After a moment of silence, she slowly spoke: "I... When I woke up, my head was dizzy, as if shrouded in a layer of fog, and I couldn't remember many things. The things that happened in the palace and the Lin family before are now vague shadows in my mind, and I can't grasp them no matter how hard I try."
After hearing this, Yuzhu's face became more confused and her eyes were full of bewilderment and puzzlement.
She was actually a little worried. Shen Yu had said something to the princess and misled her. She thought about it and couldn't help asking, "Princess, have you ever thought about getting back these memories? Over the years, we have been asking around for news about you, but you haven't made any progress in finding your memories. If you had tried hard to find those memories, maybe we would have met again a long time ago. "
Lin Miaoyin looked at Yuzhu's serious and anxious expression, feeling full of guilt.
She raised her hand, wanting to comfort Yuzhu, but stopped in mid-air, and finally just dropped it down weakly.
"Yuzhu, you don't understand. After I woke up, I was seriously injured. The time I was in a coma was longer than the time I was awake."
She paused, a trace of pain flashing in her eyes, "I'm also afraid. I'm afraid that when I regain those memories, I'll discover some truth that I can't bear."
Her voice trembled slightly, as if she was suppressing the fear deep in her heart.
Yuzhu opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but when she saw Lin Miaoyin's dim eyes and tired face, she swallowed the words back.
She was silent for a long time before she said softly, "Princess, those memories also contain our past, including every detail of you and the prince. Don't you want to remember them again?"
Lin Miaoyin smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I also want to, but many times, the more you want to grasp something, the less you can grasp it. Over the years, I have tried to recall it, but every time I tried hard, my head would hurt so much that it felt like it was about to split. Over time, I didn't dare to force myself anymore."
Yuzhu looked at Lin Miaoyin silently, and the confusion in her heart gradually turned into heartache.
She walked forward slowly, gently held Lin Miaoyin's hand, and whispered: "Princess, I will never leave you again!"
Lin Miaoyin felt the warmth of Yuzhu's palm, looked at the surprise and cautiousness in her eyes, and sighed slightly in her heart.
There was Youan before, and now there is Yuzhu. After finding Fanfan in the future, it may not be so easy to leave freely.
Side yard
Yu Lingxiu half leaned on the bed, her brows furrowed, beads of sweat oozing from her forehead, and the pain from her knees hit her like a tide, wave after wave.
She endured the pain, looked out the window, her cracked lips slightly opened and closed, and suddenly shouted, "Where's the person?" The voice echoed in the slightly empty courtyard, but there was no response.
Everything has changed since being placed in this remote hospital.
Those who once surrounded her and served her diligently now seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.
When she was thirsty, not to mention steaming hot tea, there was no one to offer her water; when her wounds were itchy, she could only endure it by herself, with no one caring or taking care of her.
In those days, she was like an abandoned child forgotten by the world, alone in this cold yard, experiencing the cruelty of the world.
Her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the past and she thought of the green bamboo.
Although Cuizhu is a little clumsy sometimes, he takes care of her wholeheartedly and meticulously.
When she was a child, every time she was sick, Cuizhu would stay by her bedside and stay awake all night; when she accidentally fell while playing, Cuizhu would be the first to run over and help her up with a caring look on her face.
Those warm times they spent together have now become her most precious memories in this lonely courtyard.
But——Cuizhu is dead!
Thinking of the resentful look in Cuizhu's eyes before she was taken away, Yu Lingxiu clenched her hands.
She didn't want her to die! She was careless and was caught by that bitch Lin Miaoyin. There was nothing she could do!
