Chapter 438 Past and present life (2)
"princess!!"
Everyone expressed their disagreement, only Nie Jing looked at Shen Yu steadily, trying to find some flaws in her expression.
Xue Zhenzhen had been in his hands for several months, and he had heard all the most ridiculous things she said. At first he thought she was lying to him on purpose, but she refused to change her words no matter how he tortured her. Nie Jing had no choice but to bring her to see Shen Yu.
He always believed that it was because he tortured Xue Zhenzhen too much that caused brain problems, or perhaps memory disorder, but now it seems... Shen Yu actually believed it?
In the room, the air seemed to suddenly freeze, becoming so heavy that it was suffocating.
Seeing that the princess remained silent, everyone had no choice but to follow her wishes and retreat outside. Shen Yu approached Xue Zhenzhen step by step, and saw the fear in the eyes of the person lying on the ground surging like a tide, but she ignored it and just slowly leaned over, whispering at a distance that was almost whispering, "How many times have you been reborn?"
Xue Zhenzhen's gaze seemed to penetrate past and present lives. The countless days and nights when she couldn't talk to anyone suddenly seemed to have found resonance. Her emotions suddenly burst out, and she cried and laughed, nodding like crazy, "You are right too, right? I know it, I know it!"
Then she whispered, "You also know that Empress Xu has changed, right? She is not the same person in the previous life, right?"
Shen Yu looked at her calmly, "You were reborn? In your previous life, Empress Xu, under the protection of many men, finally became the one who had the final say in Linyue State? The emperor was the eldest prince, but his power was completely hollowed out, and Empress Xu openly maneuvered between different dignitaries, right?"
Xue Zhenzhen became even more excited, crying and laughing, as if she had finally found someone like her. She echoed repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes! I knew it, I knew it, from the moment you married King Zhuo, I knew that you were also reborn, right?" She looked at Shen Yu with trust and a kind of unspoken tacit understanding.
Shen Yu looked at her deeply, his eyes slightly gloomy, neither saying yes nor no.
Outside the door, several people each occupied a position, but they all stared at Nie Jing. As Shen Yu's current chief confidant, Guyu certainly knew who this person was. It was said that this was the man rescued by the princess, and he had also attempted to poison the "Parent-Child Shop". What a bad guy!
Mu Ruilin had also heard of this man. He was the one who threw Yang'er to his sister and never came back. What a bad father!
Nie Jing was confused by the inexplicable hostility of these two people. It was not her who instigated Xue Zhenzhen to slander Prince Zhuo. Was the person in Prince Zhuo's mansion mentally ill? Would he teach his own son bad things?
Just as the three of them were staring at each other, the door opened and Shen Yu walked out with a calm face, but there was no one following him.
"Where is the secret guard?"
"Greetings, Princess. Jin Yi is here!" This time, the prince specially sent all members of Team Jin to guard the princess and the unborn baby. He naturally knew the seriousness of the situation, so he always kept them by his side to guard them.
But knowing that the princess wanted to clear the place, he had to retreat to the outside. Although he was worried, the princess was not a weak woman who could not even tie a chicken. Xue Zhenzhen really couldn't do anything to her, unless she used poison... But the fact that Xue Zhenzhen appeared in front of the princess obviously meant that she had been searched thoroughly inside and out.
Shen Yu nodded, "Send someone inside to handle it."
Everyone else was shocked. What the princess meant was...
Ignoring their inquiring looks, Shen Yu walked away and said, "Nie Jing, tell me, why do you show up now?" As he spoke, he led them to another meeting room.
Nie Jing followed suit, but turned back subconsciously and saw Xue Zhenzhen being dragged out of the door by two black men. She was obviously dead. He suddenly opened his eyes wide, but pretended to be calm and turned around to answer, "Oh! What are you saying? I can't come to visit an old friend if I'm fine?"
Shen Yu said a few more words to the people around him, but he seemed to be deaf and could no longer hear anything. He just followed the crowd in silence, thinking about Xue Zhenzhen's words about rebirth. Could it be...
"Hey, is your sister calling you?"
Nie Jing looked up and found that they had entered a new room. The layout was very similar to the previous one, with a large table surrounded by a circle of chairs. The space was smaller than that one, but the exquisiteness was comparable.
"I..." As he answered, he suddenly met Shen Yu's deep and cold eyes. He felt that her whole body exuded a murderous intent that was extremely terrifying. Even someone like him who had been surrounded by killing for many years felt chilled.
He quickly collected all the messy thoughts in his mind and returned to his usual nonchalant attitude, "Oh! I wanted to come there early, but it's not easy to enter the main city with... with trouble. So, when I heard that the princess was going to open up South County to let people from the martial arts world move in, I came here as soon as possible, didn't I?"
Shen Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was confirming something.
Nie Jing thought of the scene just now and immediately expressed his loyalty by kneeling down on one knee and said, "Princess, don't worry, I treated those words as a joke and didn't leak any of them. I never did before and I certainly won't do that in the future!"
"When did I ask you this?" Shen Yu suddenly said with a smile. The girl's eyebrows and eyes were even more beautiful under the candlelight, like a ghost in the dark night. The more charming she was, the more cruel she was. Although her tone was smiling, her eyes revealed an absolute murderous intent and warning.
"I mean... when did I ever say that Nan County would be open to people from the martial arts world to settle in? Where did you hear this fake news?" Then she held her forehead with one hand and said, "Why are you kneeling? You are not my subordinate, why are you kneeling?"
Nie Jing saw that her eyes had returned to their usual laziness. Did he pass the test?
"Hehehe, aren't I asking you to take him in?" He changed his mind. He originally planned to hand the child over to Shen Yu and then continue to live a free life. Anyway, Yang'er was well raised by her. It would be better for him to be raised in Prince Zhuo's mansion as a young master than for him to be with a grown man like him. He also heard that Gao Yong of the Gao family liked to take their son out shopping, and he thought Shen Yu would not refuse.
But now he was not sure. After all, those rumors from Xue Zhenzhen... It seemed that Shen Yu believed them, and as the only person who had heard those words, he had no doubt that if he was out of Shen Yu's sight, he would disappear forever! !
Anyway, her own son is in someone else's hands, so if he offers himself to be a bodyguard or something, she will probably not refuse, right?
Sure enough, the next second, he could hear some interest in her voice, "Oh? You want to join the palace?"
