Chapter 2006 I feel so sorry for him

Fan Wuyou said with heartache, "Back then, many people secretly tried to persuade him, saying that as long as he's alive, he can always make a comeback. He should take good care of himself and grow up first. Who knows what will happen in a few years?"

"However, he himself wanted to leave the city."

Fan Wuyou sighed, and his eyes reddened again.

“But the day before we left the city, my uncle also went there. He told Wang that after leaving the city, we should head south.”

"Later, Wang rolled over eighteen boards of nails. Just as his leg bone was about to be shattered, my uncle secretly intervened, causing the man to misjudge the situation, so the bone wasn't completely broken. But I heard from my uncle that he was still covered in blood and limped away from the city gate with one leg."

Fan Wuyou clutched her heart as she spoke, "When I heard about this before, my heart ached for my king! His leg was healed, but I heard that it would ache whenever the weather changed drastically, leaving him with a persistent old injury. On the battlefield, the enemy knew this weakness and would constantly attack his leg..."

"My king is so pitiful..."

Fan Wuyou covered his face and cried again.

Zhou Shiyue: "..."

Lu Zhaoling's feelings were a bit complicated for a moment.

This Fan Wuyou...

What kind of person is she? It's clear that she still genuinely cares for her king even now.

Perhaps this is why the previous king, though he disliked her, kept circling around her without taking any action, simply ignoring her?

He's not a bad person, but he's not an annoying person either.

Fan Wuyou is now treating Meng Si the same way. Although she did harm him, she didn't really mean to; she even said she wanted to save him...

"Your uncle told him to head south, so what happened?"

"He met his master when he went south!" Fan Wuyou put down his hand. "I heard that he met his master when he was lying in the snow and about to freeze to death. So, his master saved him, raised him, and taught him excellent martial arts. Later, when the Great Jin was invaded by foreign enemies, he appeared."

"Later, he made meritorious contributions all the way until he saved my sworn brother and helped him ascend the throne smoothly, becoming a king of a different surname... Of course, at that time, it was also because that evil Taoist had been exposed and said to be an evil cultivator, and the king's family was exonerated, which enabled him to become a king of a different surname."

After listening to her explanation, Lu Zhaoling had a general understanding of the situation in the Great Jin Dynasty at that time.

However, Fan Wuyou had no idea how much suffering and hardship that king had endured over the years.

Why was the new emperor wary of him later?

Or is there something else going on?

Fan Wuyou was unaware of other matters.

It seems that in her heart, many people are not bad people. Even the Empress of the Great Jin who created the Jade Bone Arrow, despite so many suspicious points, Fan Wuyou still thinks she is a good person and very loyal to the Great Jin.

"Alright, these are all matters of the Great Jin Dynasty, none of our business, no need to ask any more questions." Zhou Shiyue interrupted Lu Zhaoling, not wanting her to continue asking.

Fan Wuyou didn't want to say too much; she was already exhausted from talking. But hearing Zhou Shiyue's words, her eyes reddened again.

"Your Majesty, this is clearly your own business, how can you say it has nothing to do with you?"

Zhou Shiyue's gaze remained calm as he countered with a question, "What dynasty are we in now?"

“The Great Zhou,” Fan Wuyou said.

Zhou Shiyue calmly replied, "And you're talking about the Great Jin Dynasty."

"Before the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was another dynasty."

The Great Jin Dynasty was already a thing of the previous dynasty.

Fan Wuyou was stunned.

After a moment, she suddenly became sad.

"Yes, the Great Jin Dynasty is so long ago, but I am a citizen of the Great Jin. What am I going to do? I have no home, no country, what am I now..."

She was really heartbroken.

Zhou Shiyue calmly added, "That's a joke."

Lu Zhaoling almost lost her composure.

Both of them were feeling quite down, including her.

After hearing about the story of that man from another family, she felt very sorry for him.

But now, hearing Zhou Shiyue's merciless rebuke of Fan Wuyou, Lu Zhaoling could no longer remain somber.

Fan Wuyou was also dumbfounded.

"Moreover, he's a ghost waiting to be punished. Don't think that just because you've told these stories, your mistakes are absolved."

Zhou Shiyue delivered another blow.

Fan Wuyou: "......"

She really wanted to die.

She looked at Lu Zhaoling.

"Your Highness, I heard that your family keeps a few ghosts. Why don't you keep me as your pet too?"

"You wish," Lu Zhaoling immediately refused. "Didn't I say? You made a mistake, so you're bound to be punished. I'll take you to the Netherworld later."

"You two are so cruel... Ah!"

Before Fan Wuyou could finish speaking, Lu Zhaoling grabbed her and shoved her at the painting.

She simply stuffed Fan Wuyou back into the painting, and then stuck a talisman onto it.

The zither was left behind.

In the painting, Fan Wuyou is sitting on the ground with his head raised, looking up with a shocked expression, frozen in the painting.

"...This painting looks terrible like this," Zhou Shiyue commented.

So, this painting can actually change.

It was drawn well before, a portrait of a beautiful woman. Now it's a portrait of a beautiful woman who has fallen to the ground and is about to curse.

After Lu Zhaoling affixed the talisman, Fan Wuyou could no longer come out at will.

She rolled up the painting and patted it.

"It doesn't matter if it's ugly, we don't appreciate paintings anyway."

“That makes sense,” Zhou Shiyue said. “Is it to be sent to Junior Brother Yin as a reward?”

"If the eldest disciple doesn't reward him, then reward the judge." Lu Zhaoling laughed.

So, what's the difference?

Lu Zhaoling and Zhou Shiyue chatted for a few more minutes, seemingly putting aside the matter of what happened back then with that Wang.

However, they all knew that those things would probably be brought up again sooner or later.

Now, Fan Wuyou has already revealed a corner of the truth about the Great Jin Dynasty.

"Your Highness," Qinglin suddenly asked curiously, "who was the master that prince of a different surname studied under? Was he even more powerful than the Valley Master of Yinfeng?"

To be able to train a king of a different surname, that must be incredibly impressive.

He must be a highly skilled person.

"I don't know." Zhou Shiyue glanced at him. "Why don't you go look for it in the Netherworld?"

"Huh? What are you looking for?" Qinglin asked, puzzled.

“There are still many old ghosts in the underworld who haven’t had time to reincarnate. Go and look among the ghosts; there are bound to be some ghosts from the Great Jin Dynasty. Go and ask them about it,” Zhou Shiyue said.

Qinglin was startled and quickly stepped back.

"No, no, it's not necessary. I'm not really that curious."

Qingfeng and the others looked at him and shook their heads.

Sooner or later, I'll throw Qinglin into the underworld to play with ghosts.

If he doesn't know what's good for him...

Lu Zhaoling then looked at the zither.

"So, this really is the zither of the Empress of the Great Jin Dynasty?"
