Chapter 20: Open Disobedience 2

Shen Muzhi sneered and replied slowly, neither humble nor arrogant. "Then why is that not what I heard?" He questioned.

"Then you mean that I lied to you?" Concubine Yu suddenly slapped the table and stood up, acting as if she was being reasonable.

"Haha, your Majesty, you don't have to be so anxious to take your seat!" He was not afraid at all, and seemed to have decided to fight Concubine Yu to the end.

"You..." Concubine Yu's hands trembled with anger. She did not expect that Shen Muzhi's attitude would be so tough. It seems that it is not easy to take Shen Chuyao away. She is in urgent need of someone now. Looking at the entire government and the public, there are very few people who can compare with Shen Muzhi. If she falls out with Shen Chuyao because of Shen Chuyao, it will definitely not be worth it. However, if she cannot bring Shen Chuyao back today, then Where should she put her face? Xu'er is still injured and lying on the bed!

"Your Majesty, I, Shen Muzhi, have been following you for many years. It can be said that I have devoted myself wholeheartedly and worked hard for you. Over the years, I have never asked you for anything. Today, I only ask your Majesty to let my daughter go and give her something. A way out." With that said, he knelt down to Concubine Yu.

He gave her a step down, it was up to her to see if she was willing to accept it.

Concubine Yu glared at him coldly and walked out of the hall without saying anything.

Although she didn't say anything, Shen Muzhi knew very well that the feud was settled. Concubine Yu didn't kill him now because she still had use for him. When he loses his use value, she would be like a rabbit to death. , the bird is gone and the bow is hidden! Forget it, keeping Chuyao is the most important thing now, let’s talk about the future!

Liu Yingqiu, who had been hiding outside the door, heard with her own ears the conversation between Shen Muzhi and Concubine Yu Yu. She didn't know what she should say. She knew that the master did this for her, and she was really grateful for his tolerance for her. .Seeing him kneeling on the ground and taking a long time to get up, she couldn't help but walked into the house and called him softly with a choked tone. "Master..."

Shen Muzhi shuddered and then came back to his senses. He quickly stood up from the ground, pretending to look at Liu Yingqiu as if nothing had happened and smiled. "Madam, I have tried my best now, do you still blame me? "As long as it is what she asks for, he will definitely satisfy her even if it costs him his life.

She covered her mouth lightly, and when she was about to speak, she felt as if there was a thorn stuck in her throat, which made her unable to make a sound at all. She just kept sobbing. She knew that he was doing it for her, and she saw that he was tired and old. The look made her heart hurt!

He shook his head and chuckled, and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to wipe away all the tears on her face. "How can you still shed tears at such an old age? You haven't changed at all since I first met you!" I remember that when he first met her, he was still a young man in his early twenties, and she was only a young girl in her twenties. In his impression at that time, she was a very crybaby, but she was beautiful. It's amazing that after so many years, although she has become a little too 'mature', she is still beautiful, and her tendency to cry easily has not changed at all.

She punched him with some annoyance and yelled in disapproval. "You actually laughed at me!" Although she was angry on her face, she was happy in her heart.

"Haha!" He chuckled, and all the haze just now disappeared. "Is Chu Yao awake?" He hadn't had a good talk with Chu Yao for a long time. He had too many things to ask her.

Liu Yingqiu shook her head lightly, with a look on her face full of worry. "The effects of the medicine haven't worn off yet, and she's still sleeping. I really don't know what happened to her during this time. I'm really worried that she will She won't be caught and tortured by anyone. Master, you also saw that her face was swollen!" The more she thought about it, the more distressed she felt. Although they had deliberately kept a distance from Chu Yao over the years, but that It doesn't mean that they don't feel sorry for her. You know, they will keep a distance from Chu Yao, and that is to protect Chu Yao! They deliberately protect her so well and don't allow ordinary people to get close, because they are afraid that one day others will discover Chu Yao's true identity. His life experience led to the death of Chu Yao!

Shen Muzhi's face darkened, and he was also worried about the problem Liu Yingqiu said. "It seems that we can only get some clues by first finding out what happened to Chu Yao in Prince Xuan's Mansion." He felt confident. I have a premonition that Chu Yao is now like this, and there is definitely a suspicion of Prince Xuan's Mansion.

"Then what should we do?" Liu Yingqiu asked hurriedly.

Shen Muzhi thought for a while, and his expression became more solemn. "It seems that we need to have a good talk with Yiwen."

"Yes! Why did I forget about Yiwen? The last time I went to see Chuyao, Chuyao said that Yiwen is always with her now! We can know Chuyao just by asking Yiwen. What happened there?"

Shen Muzhi frowned and thought for a while, his face looking a little strange. "Madam, do you remember that mysterious man?" A long time ago, a mysterious man sneaked into their home. That man had extraordinary skills and knew all his secrets. , he knew that this person was definitely not a simple figure. He was wondering whether Chu Yao's sudden appearance might have something to do with that mysterious person?

"How could I forget! The look in that man's eyes was so scary. I have never seen such cold eyes before. It almost made all the hairs on my body stand up." Liu Yingqiu couldn't help but shudder at the mention of that man. .The mysterious man is so unpredictable that he is really a great threat to them.

"I'm wondering if Chu Yao's disappearance and sudden appearance now have anything to do with that person?"

"Master, why do you say that?" She was a little confused.

Shen Muzhi said in a deep voice. "Think about it, looking at the whole Loulan, how many people can bring Chu Yao out of the palace casually? What's more, that person also hurt Prince Rong Xu! This is not What a trivial matter! Prince Rong Xu is the future king, and he is a noble prince! To have the courage to hurt him is definitely a big deal. So, I suspect that this person is the masked man wearing the gold mask!"

"Then...then what should we do now? Could he want to kill us?" Liu Yingqiu was completely panicked. She didn't know what the purpose of that person was, and she was so scared that her heart was almost broken. jumped out. She has never been so afraid of a person, but this person is too unpredictable. They really can't figure out the details of that person! They know nothing about that mysterious person at all. , but that person knew everything about them. How could such a person not make her feel scared?

Shen Muzhi frowned tiredly, and then continued after exhaling a breath. "This is just my guess, and I can't make a conclusion yet. At the moment, we can only read the songbook - we'll see." Let's do it!" Forget it, don't think about this for now, in short, the most important thing now is to keep Chu Yao talking, and take other things one step at a time!

"Alright madam, let's go see Chu Yao together! She should wake up soon. I still have a lot of things I want to ask her!" Only when Chu Yao wakes up can they know what happened during this period. What happened.

"But, sir..."

"Okay, okay! Master, I am here. You don't have to think so much. The most important thing for us now is to check on Chuyao and see if she is awake now." With that said, Shen Muzhi did not wait for Liu Yingqiu to speak. , and pulled her away directly.

The two walked through the corridor together and came to the small lake house located in ###. This place was originally built by them specifically for Chuyao. They had never been there since Chuyao got married. Now Chuyao is back. , when I came here, it felt like everything was back to before, as if nothing had happened, but that was just the wish of the two of them.

The two of them walked across the stone bridge with extremely heavy steps and arrived at the door. Just when they were about to raise their hands to push the door open, the door suddenly opened. They saw a servant running out of the room in a panic. I almost bumped into them.

"Excuse me, sir, forgive me, madam!" When the guy saw that he had almost hit the master and his wife, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to admit his mistake.

"What's going on in such a hurry that you don't even know how to take a look when you're walking?" Liu Yingqiu scolded with a hint of displeasure. "How is Miss?"

The servant hurriedly replied, "Miss, I'm awake. I just wanted to report to the master and his wife." If he hadn't rushed to report to them just now, he wouldn't have run away in such a hurry.

Liu Yingqiu and Shen Muzhi hurriedly entered the house. As soon as they entered the house, they saw the pale Shen Chuyao huddled in the corner of the bed, clutching the quilt and shaking. She couldn't help but Knowing what was going on with her, why did she come home again overnight? Could this all be her dream, or was it a trick of that man? She was confused, and her whole body was Trembling constantly.

Seeing that Chu Yao was so frightened, Liu Yingqiu's tears suddenly flowed down. "Chu Yao, my poor daughter..." she said, and hurriedly rushed into the house and hugged Shen Chuyao tightly. In my arms.
