Chapter 316 Marry You as My Legal Wife
Qu Qiu Shui is a person who likes to do delicate work. He has a bright mind and is deft with his hands. If it weren't for the special environment that made him a murderer with neurotic traits, he would surely be an excellent artist.
When Qu Qiushui heard Shen Wen ask him to restore the skull to its original appearance, he felt that it was still challenging, even though he had never done it in his two lives. He said, "I have studied this field of knowledge before, but I just didn't have time to put it into practice. This time, I will do it for your sake."
Shen Wen nodded with satisfaction.
It was already late, and Qu Qiushui was only called here to discuss things in advance. Qu Qiushui was obsessed with something, and once he was interested in something, he would do it even if he had to stay up all night. He also met Ruan, a young and good official who was eager to make a breakthrough, and the two of them hit it off and stayed in the Prince's Mansion all night.
Shen Wen watched them walk into the door in a discussion, shook his head, walked down the stairs, called Yan Sangeng, who was leading the horse to serve, and left.
Two people sat on their horses, strolling along the street and chatting.
Yan Sangeng told him that Lord Shen and his family had been thrown into prison.
Shen Wen wondered, "How did this get out? There was no evidence, but someone just mentioned it to His Majesty, and the entire Shen family was fired in an instant? Who leaked this to His Majesty?"
Yan Sangeng shook his head and said, "I don't know yet. But before the Shen family was raided, it might have been because Lord Shen brought Lord Shen Wu to the palace to meet the emperor."
As if Shen Wen didn't hear him clearly, he said, "What? Why are you bringing me... bringing your Master Shen Wu into the palace?"
Yan Sangeng shook his head.
Shen Wen thought about it, and then he realized that it must be Master Shen Wu who told the little emperor what he said without any scruples.
The horse that Shen Wen was sitting on stopped and waited quietly for Shen Wen to think about something.
At this time, a man appeared in front of Shen Wen's horse and called his name.
Shen Wen looked up at the man and asked, "Lord Chu? Is there something wrong?"
Chu Yanqiu said in a mellow and attractive voice: "Nothing, I just want to go with Lord Shen."
Yan Sangeng felt annoyed whenever he saw this man. If he knew he couldn't beat him, he would have picked him up and thrown him out.
Yan Sangeng snorted, Shen Wen gave him a look, and he waited not far ahead with his horse.
Chu Yanqiu took the reins from Shen Wen and said, "I'll take you home."
Shen Wen grabbed the reins and said, "Is that what you want to say? Then there's nothing good to see." After saying that, he was about to lead the horse away.
Chu Yanqiu put his hand on his shoulder and stopped him, saying, "I have asked His Majesty for permission to marry me. I want to marry you."
Shen Wen looked at him curiously and asked, "Your Majesty agreed?"
Chu Yanqiu was silent.
Shen Wen said, "I remember that not long ago, Lord Chu, you just married four wives and four concubines into your house. Now you are talking about getting married again? Are you afraid that the whole capital won't have enough things to talk about you?"
Chu Yanqiu said: "Don't worry, I don't care about this."
Who the hell is worried?
I remembered the day when he pinched my neck and lifted me up in the air, wanting to kill me.
This person really hates mentioning their ambiguous relationship in front of others.
Shen Wen thought of the Princess Wanfu who had flattered him so servilely. Shen Wen said, "I remember telling you to kill that woman Wanfu. Chu Yanqiu, have you made up your mind? Do you want to do it yourself?"
Chu Yanqiu misunderstood that he was jealous of Wanfu, so he said with a smile: "If I promise you to kill that woman, will you be my legal wife?"
Shen Wen said: "These are obviously two different things. Let me ask you again, do you want to kill her yourself?"
Chu Yanqiu looked at his eyes that were questioning him stubbornly, and his heart was inexplicably moved. His hand unconsciously touched his hair and played with it.
Shen Wen suddenly became furious. He pushed Chu Yanqiu's hand away, pushed him away, and left angrily.
Chu Yanqiu grabbed his hand and held Shen Wen in his arms with his whole body.
Chu Yanqiu said: "I have already said that I will marry you. We are husband and wife, and what you want to do is naturally what I want to do. Now you should understand, right?"
Shen Wen's eyes became moist, and he felt inexplicably aggrieved and sad.
But this feeling only lasted for a few seconds, and then he laughed at himself.
This damn love game, he is already a veteran in his forties, if he is fooled by this man’s sweet words, wouldn’t he have lived half his life in vain?
Shen Wen raised his head and looked at Chu Yanqiu with satisfaction. He stroked his face. Chu Yanqiu let go of his hug. The two of them faced each other. Shen Wen asked, "Are you really willing to kill Wanfu with your own hands?"
Chu Yanqiu touched his hand and said, "Of course I am willing."
Shen Wen said: "You will feel very embarrassed to kill her, right? I heard that you two are childhood sweethearts. She would even give you her entire country for you."
Chu Yanqiu said: "You don't have to test me. Although we grew up together, I know her evil intentions best. It's a pity that she doesn't know yet that many people in the royal family of Beifan Kingdom hope that she will die in Daju Kingdom."
Shen Wen said: "Do you know what she did? She likes to dig out the hearts of living people to make medicine, and she doesn't even spare her brothers and sisters."
Chu Yanqiu didn't care about those things. He felt sweet in his heart and happy on his face, because having a heart-to-heart conversation with his beloved was the most intimate thing he could do at this moment.
But Shen Wen saw Chu Yanqiu remained silent, and the inexplicable anger in his heart rose again. He pulled his hand away and said, "After all this fuss, you know that woman's perverted evil deeds, did you know from the beginning?"
Chu Yanqiu was originally immersed in tenderness, but was confused by his sudden anger, and felt a little uneasy.
The more Shen Wen thought about it, the angrier he got. He sneered, "If I hadn't escaped from your hands, you would have been happy to kill me without hesitation just for Princess Wanfu's words, right?"
At first?
Chu Yanqiu recalled those scenes in his mind. He only remembered the catastrophic fire attack that happened later. It was extremely shocking. Why did he want to strangle Shen Wen in the first place?
Seeing that he was about to leave him again, Chu Yanqiu grabbed Shen Wen's arm and said, "I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking straight at the time, and I don't know who I was pinching."
The two of them were arguing back and forth. Yan Sangeng, who was standing not far away, couldn't stand it anymore. He said impatiently, "Sir, let's go quickly. Didn't you say you wanted to go home directly? Otherwise, the assassins sent by the crazy woman who was released, the princess, will have another chance to kill you."
Shen Wen shook off Chu Yanqiu and left immediately.
Chu Yanqiu watched him go away, feeling empty inside.
Chihe came over from not far behind and said, "Sir, should we still chase?"
Chu Yanqiu shook his head and said, "Forget it today."
Chu Yanqiu asked Chi He, "Do you know where Princess Wanfu went?"
Chi He hesitated and said, "Since you have been to the court of Da Jue, you should stay at the post house of the Bei Fan envoys as the Bei Fan princess."
Chu Yanqiu thought for a moment and said, "She won't stay in a place like that peacefully."
He said to Chi He, "Send someone to see if Princess Wanfu is at the inn. Tell her that I have something to ask her to meet."
Chihe agreed and did as ordered.
Chu Yanqiu stood alone on the street, and the sparse pedestrians didn't even catch his attention.
At this moment, a woman bumped into him. Chu Yanqiu came to his senses and looked at the woman...
Chu Yanqiu's eyes widened in surprise, but the woman asked, "Why? Do you think it's impossible for me to come to Dagu Kyoto so soon?"
Chu Yanqiu blurted out "Immortal Ancestor"
The woman said, "You guessed it right this time. I really didn't come to Daju Kyoto. What you saw was just a spirit attached to a mortal. I came to see you so that you can save someone. That person is in an alley northeast of the palace. There is a formation there. You can rescue him according to the method I gave you to break it."
Chu Yanqiu asked: "Who is he?"
The Immortal Ancestor Chu Yanqiu did not answer. Chu Yanqiu looked at the woman in front of him again. She no longer looked like the Immortal Ancestor. She was just a woman passing by.
The woman seemed to have just come to her senses and didn't know why she was on the street. Facing a tall and handsome man, the shy and conservative woman ran away.
Chu Yanqiu hurriedly followed the Immortal Ancestor's instructions and flew to the palace to find out what was going on.
Chu Yanqiu was very fast and the palace guards quickly let him in. This was already the norm. Everyone knew that Lord Chu was a close minister who was specially cared for by the emperor and had the freedom to enter and leave the palace to meet the emperor.
Chu Yanqiu went to the alley. At first, he really didn't see anyone in the alley. He chanted the spell according to the formula given by the Immortal Ancestor, gathered the power of the Emperor's wrath in his body, and hit the place where the alley could rest with all his strength. The invisible barrier that was originally set up was opened. Unexpectedly, there was really a man lying under the wall.
But Chu Yanqiu recognized the man at a glance. He was the attendant who followed Princess Wanfu into the palace.
Chu Yanqiu walked up to the follower and kicked him. The man woke up, but he was completely powerless.
This "follower" was not a servant, but a disciple of the Xiliang City Lord, Chu Qing, who was Chu Yanqiu's grandfather. Now it was thought that he was a spy planted by the Immortal Ancestor beside his grandfather.
Chu Yanqiu said: "Can you still get up? Come with me."
Chu Qing was not happy with Chu Yanqiu's attitude towards him. He said unhappily, "I was hit by two gods, a man and a woman. I don't know what kind of spell they cast on me. I can't move."
Chu Yanqiu asked immediately after hearing this: "Gods? How do you know they are gods? What did they tell you?"
Before Chu Qing was assigned to Xiliang City, he was a disciple of the immortal sect who devoted himself to cultivation. Facing a mortal like Chu Yanqiu who had no cultivation at all, Chu Qing felt superior. He rolled his eyes at Chu Yanqiu and said, "What do you know? Anyway, I know that they are immortals, or as powerful as the Immortal Ancestor who has a wisp of his soul. As soon as they met me, they drew out the Immortal Ancestor's soul hidden in my body. I don't know what they said."
The Immortal Ancestor used this trick this time to kill Shen Wen. It seems that she is determined to do so.
Chu Yanqiu ignored Chu Qing and turned away.
"Hey! Hey! Chu Yanqiu, come back!"
