Shen Shu hurriedly went to comfort him. After comforting him for a long time, Wang Shu continued to speak, "Then, we met the prince soon. All of us breathed a sigh of relief. Just when we relaxed our vigilance, there was suddenly an ambush in the dark. The enemy troops came out, there were many of them..."
"The general went with us to protect the prince with all his strength. I saw blood, a lot of blood...the blood of the general, the blood of the soldiers...a lot of blood, flowing all over the ground."
"I was so scared that after being stabbed I started lying on the ground and pretending to be dead..."
"I don't want to be a deserter, but I'm too scared." As he spoke, he couldn't help but start to cry because of guilt.
Shen Shu pursed her lips, suddenly unable to bear to listen any more. Even though she had never experienced a war, she could still imagine how cruel it must be.
Wang Shu kept crying, and it was not until a long time later that he felt better. He continued to speak with choked sobs, "Later, when I escaped from death and returned to the camp, I realized that the prince knew that there was an ambush there. After that, I was beaten by the prince. Chase..."
Even though Shen Shu had already made some guesses before Wang Shu spoke, when Wang Shu told the truth, Shen Shu couldn't help but tremble in her heart.
This truth was so heavy that she couldn't help but hold Lin Zhi's hand.
His hands were cold again, and she wanted to coax him and comfort him, but in the end she just called him, "Azhi..." After that, she could no longer speak.
Lin Zhi said "Yeah" softly, and then held Shen Shu's hand tightly. Although he looked very calm on his face, Shen Shu felt the coldness and trembling from his hand.
He is like this, he never has a big expression. The sadder he is, the more expressionless his face becomes, so some people always think that he is cold-blooded and ruthless.
Shen Shu went to wake up the hypnotized Wang Shu. After Wang Shu woke up, he returned to his crazy state and kept shouting, "Your Highness the Crown Prince... Your Highness the Crown Prince... spare me."
Shen Shu looked at him again and realized that he was a poor man, so she couldn't help but sigh.
The atmosphere in the room was extremely depressing. Shen Shu walked up to Lin Zhi and gently tugged on his sleeve, "Azhi, it's so hot in here. Let's go out first."
This time, Lin Zhi thought slowly for a long time, then said "hmm" and walked out of the house with her.
Outside the house, Changning has been waiting for a long time.
He was wearing a green robe today, which gave him a more feminine look.
If he wasn't much taller than ordinary women, Shen Shu would even think that he was a woman.
When he saw Shen Shu and Lin Zhi coming out together, a bit of surprise appeared on his face.
Although this shock only lasted for a moment, Shen Shu still noticed it keenly, but did not think about it deeply. She only whispered to Chang Ning, "Please arrange a good place for Chang Ning in the past few days."
Chang Ning responded quickly, then looked at the backs of Shen Shu and Lin Zhi, pursed his lips, and entered the house to see Wang Shu.
Wang Shu was still crazy. When he saw Chang Ning, he didn't recognize who he was. He was just immersed in his own world and chattering.
Chang Ning lowered his eyes and looked at Wang Shu's crazy look for a long time, and suddenly felt that things were different.
Really, everyone... is different from before.
He whispered the other person's name in a deep voice, "Wang Shu..."
When Wang Shu heard someone calling his name, he couldn't help but raise his head, but he caught Chang Ning's foxy eyes.
He remembered this person, who had often visited him these days and would occasionally say a few words to him.
But this was the first time he looked directly at Chang Ning's face.
Even though Changning is a man, he is very good-looking. Now that he is wearing women's clothes, he looks even more charming.
Wang Shu was dumbfounded, but couldn't help but chattered, "The girl from Zuixian Tower... one tael of silver at a time... I don't have that much silver..."
Even though he was so frivolous, Chang Ning didn't feel angry. He just lowered his eyes and murmured to himself, "Sure enough... you don't recognize me..."
But yes, how many people can recognize his current appearance that is neither male nor female?
…
Shen Shu and Lin Zhi left the inn. It was getting late outside, and the earth had dropped significantly in temperature without the scorching sun. The birds that were too hot to come out during the day also chirped happily with the vendors setting up stalls.
The terrain here is higher and the disaster was relatively light. Only ten days after the disaster, it has already regained its vitality.
In the carriage, Shen Shu sat next to Lin Zhi, listening to the noise outside, but her eyes kept looking at Lin Zhi's face.
Although there was no expression on Lin Zhi's face, Shen Shu could still feel his discomfort. She gradually tightened her grip on his hand, trying to convey some strength to him, but in the end it was a drop in the bucket.
She thought for a moment, then simply raised her hand to hug him.
Today, Lin Zhi's body was as cold as before. The moment Shen Shu hugged him, her body couldn't help but tremble slightly, but she still hugged him tighter.
Lin Zhi lowered his eyes and looked at the woman holding him tightly in his arms. She had always been very warm, warm and gentle.
It was because he was greedy for her tenderness and warmth that he left her behind.
At this time, he felt the burning warmth, although his heart told him that he really wanted to get closer to her, and get closer to her.
He was just rational but still allowed him to speak, "Good boy, I'm cold now, don't let you get cold, we have to get pregnant and have a baby, eh?"
Shen Shu refused to listen. She stubbornly buried her face in Lin Zhi's arms and hugged him harder. There was a hint of willfulness in her voice, "No."
After she finished speaking, she took a step back and said, "I can take medicine."
"Drink one bowl a day."
"Two bowls are fine."
I would rather drink two more bowls of that extremely bitter medicine, and also want him to feel a little more of the gentleness and warmth of the world at this time.
Lin Zhi was still reluctant to let her suffer, so he patted her back and said, "No need to take medicine."
"Take a medicinal bath."
Shen Shu said "hmm".
The carriage continued to move forward, making "pattering" sounds from time to time. Shen Shu hugged Lin Zhi for a while and clearly felt that he was much better before asking him, "How are you going to bring down the prince?"
Lin Zhi told her his plan without hesitation, "I secretly cooperated with Prince Ning to create the right time, place and people for the prince, and then force him to rebel."
"When the prince rebels, King Ning will take action and let the prince, King Ning, and the emperor fight. When they fight to the death, let Shen Xiao go out to clean up the mess and inherit the throne."
Shen Shu lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before replying, "What if the prince holds back and doesn't rebel?"
"He can't help it." Lin Zhi replied very firmly.
He didn't want to explain the reason to Shen Shu.
Shen Shu shook her head, "There are still some omissions in this plan, but I have a way to make the prince determined to rebel."
