Yu Shu told Xue Rui in detail that the father and son of the Xin family had asked her to predict Yun Hua's death.
Rather than saying that Xue Rui's reaction was surprise, it would be better to say that he was bewildered. "So he's still alive?"
"It can't be wrong. I used Jing Chen's horoscope three times, and the result was the same. Princess Royal Luyue passed away twenty years ago. If Yun Hua is also dead, then the six lines will not be a hexagram at all."
After Yu Shu finished speaking, she did not see Xue Rui reply for a long time. Looking at his erratic eyes, she raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes,
"Big brother? What are you thinking about? "
Xue Rui put away his thoughts of running away and said to her, "I have some suspicions, but I can't confirm it yet. I won't tell you for the time being."
Yu Shu nodded indifferently, and continued her previous words with some joy, "This is good news for us.
"This is good news for us. Yun Hua is my Eldest Senior Brother. Back then, his purpose of entering the capital city was the same as mine, which was to destroy the Book of Mystic Fairy's Six Rens. However, I don't know where he is hiding now. Otherwise, we can find him and ask him clearly."
Xue Rui looked at her and asked, "Are you going to tell Jing Chen about this?"
Yu Shu had never thought about this before. After thinking for a while, she nodded gently, "I asked him to come to Wangji Tower tonight. I will tell him then."
Xue Rui said slowly, "Jing Chen will be surprised when he hears this news."
Yu Shu said, "I didn't tell him because I wanted to give him a surprise. I just think of it as repaying him for not hiding the matter of the Life Breaker from me. Moreover, Yun Hua is Jing Chen's biological father and his closest relative. He has a reason to know that his father is still alive. As an insider, what right do I have to hide it from him? "
Xue Rui's eyes darkened a few times, and he said to himself, "Does he have a reason to know …"
"Why, do you think it's inappropriate?"
Xue Rui shook his head and said, "It's a good idea to tell him. Let him know that there is something fishy about Yunhua Yi Zi's' death 'back then, so he won't blindly listen to the arrangements of that side. The more suspicious he is, the better. "
Yu Shu suddenly thought of yesterday morning at the Kunling Bureau. Jing Chen hesitated for a while before deciding not to mention it in front of Xue Rui.
It had nothing to do with whether she believed in Jing Chen's promise or not. She just felt that it was stupid to gossip about her ex-boyfriend in front of her current lover.
After she shared this shocking discovery with Xue Rui, Yu Shu also calmed down from the panic she felt when she found out that Yun Hua was still alive. She was in the mood to talk about other things.
"Big brother, you've heard of my bravery in the Aquatic Conclave."
Xue Rui smiled, "You're referring to the fact that you took advantage of His Majesty's tiger skin. Did you fool a bunch of people? "
"… What do you mean by bluffing? I'm truly talented, "Yu Shu mumbled. But she did not have much confidence. Xue Rui knew her the best. It would be strange if he believed that she could really summon the wind and summon the rain.
"You're really bold," Xue Rui said worriedly, "You've even lied to His Majesty. Aren't you afraid that you'll have a hard time getting off in the future? If there's a drought. What will you do when the emperor sends you to the place to make rain? "
Yu Shu became proud again. "I've thought about it, so I told them that day. If I use this ability of mine, I'll die. I can't guarantee that I'll be able to return to Turin."
Xue Rui was relieved. He raised his hand and flicked her forehead. He chuckled softly and said, "You're so cunning … In the evening, Jing Chen came.
Yu Shu heard from the waiter that Xin Lishan was still sleeping soundly in the room. To prevent him from waking up and bumping into Jing Chen, she sent Gui Ba to guard outside Xin Lishan's mountain gate.
Little Qing took Jing Chen to the slightly deserted third floor. Yu Shu and Xue Rui were waiting in the tea room.
There were two blue and white porcelain lamps on both sides of the tea room, illuminating the room.
Jing Chen saw Xue Rui, who was wearing a bamboo gown and sitting leisurely. He stopped in front of the door and looked at Yu Shu with a tired expression.
Xue Rui closed the lid of the tea and stood up. He said, "Brother Jing, please come in. It's me who wants to see you today. I have something to discuss with you."
Jing Chen looked at Yu Shu's indifferent face under the lamp. The light in his eyes dimmed and he stepped in. The maidservant closed the door behind him.
The three of them were in the same room. There was a strange silence in the air. The first to break the silence was Jing Chen, "Have you told him everything about me and you?"
Of course, this question was asked to Yu Shu. He didn't mean to blame her, but he looked at her without moving his eyes.
Yu Shu was silent for a moment. When she was about to answer, she heard a voice beside her, "If you're talking about the Great Trouble and the Life Breaker, I know everything."
Jing Chen then turned his eyes to Xue Rui. Looking at the man who always appeared beside Yu Shu, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
He knew this feeling. It was because there were many things that he should have done — accompany her, protect her, and not let her be bullied. He couldn't do it, but the person in front of him did it.
Xue Rui frankly met Jing Chen's gaze. Not so long ago, he had envied this person. Perhaps Jing Chen's background was slightly more unfortunate than his own, but he was fortunate enough to meet a person who was worth sacrificing for. Unfortunately, he was unable to cherish her and missed out on her.
"What do you want to say to me today?"
"With all due respect," Xue Rui stopped being polite, and his voice became cold.
"Brother Jing is righteous. You can set an example for the Great Peace Country. I admire you. Brother Jing is kind. In order to repay the kindness of the sect, you have to endure humiliation. I understand that. But dare I ask Brother Jing, what did my sworn sister do to you? Why did you disregard her life and involve her in a dangerous situation? "
He had wanted to ask Jing Chen this question a long time ago. What right did he have to cut off all ties with Jing Chen just because he wanted to? Did he think that Yu Shu should obediently submit to him just because he wanted to get back together?
No matter how dignified his reason was, it couldn't hide the essence of taking advantage of her.
Men always had such a self-righteous drawback. They thought that they could decide everything. A selfish man was more arbitrary than a selfish woman.
Seeing Jing Chen reminded him of himself three years ago. He wholeheartedly wanted to marry the Tenth Princess, but he didn't consider whether she was willing or not. In the end, he ended up in an irreversible situation.
As a man, Xue Rui didn't think that he had the right to blame Jing Chen. But as Yu Shu's man, he couldn't tolerate Jing Chen's covetous heart.
"Or is Brother Jing really naive to think that as long as Shu agrees to marry and have children with you, everything will be fine?"
Although Jing Chen was used to Yu Shu's cold words, he still felt that Xue Rui's bluntness was a little harsh. The things that he had always wanted to deceive himself and others became clearer.
That day at the bottom of the Imperial Tombs, he had his doubts, but he still chose to believe Da Dian's words. Da Dian had told him who the person who broke his life was. Apart from kindness and righteousness, in his heart, the person he liked was Xiaoyu.
He was happy to have such a chance to be with her again.
"She doesn't owe me anything. I'm the one who let her down."
"You didn't let me down. I've said that we're even." Yu Shu's voice was flat. She had long passed the stage of anger and unwillingness. Now, Jing Chen was no longer a friend to her, but he wasn't an enemy either.
Hearing this, Jing Chen just turned to look at her. His handsome face didn't show much emotion.
Seeing this, Xue Rui stopped and didn't continue to be aggressive. Instead, he changed the topic and brought it to the murder case in Taishi Shuyuan.
"The murderer who killed Zhan Xueyuan has not been identified. It's obvious that those people's goal is to target you, the scourge of Daan. That's why the woman close to you was implicated. I'm afraid that their next target is Shu. For her safety, I'd like to trouble Brother Jing with something."
"What is it? Go ahead."
"Recently, His Majesty may send more people to protect Shu. If they mention it in front of you, I hope you can refuse on behalf of Shu. As for the excuse, I've already thought of it for you. Just say that Shu knows the Death Severing Technique and is not in danger of losing her life. You'll also protect her from the side. There's no need to do anything unnecessary. "
Originally, this wasn't what Xue Rui wanted to ask Jing Chen to cooperate with — once Zhan Xueyuan died, he was afraid that the Emperor would disregard Yu Shu's life and arrange the marriage between Jing Chen and her ahead of time, using her to lose her life first.
That was why he originally wanted to remind Jing Chen not to agree to their marriage and delay it.
But now, the situation had taken a turn for the better. Yu Shu's performance at the Aquatic and Continent Conference had caused Emperor Zhao Qing to reevaluate her weight. A title bestowed by the Emperor spoke volumes.
They wouldn't be in a hurry to send Yu Shu to her death. On the contrary, they would send more people to protect her.
"I don't understand." Jing Chen frowned. "Why did you refuse?"
Yu Shu also didn't understand why Xue Rui was doing this. Wasn't it a good thing to have more people to protect her life?
But she didn't question it. She believed that Xue Rui must have his reasons for making such a request.
Xue Rui quickly gave this reason —
"Historically, the Emperor of Da An Kingdom has a group of secretive personal guards that follow and protect the Emperor. They are not dispatched by the military, and there are only a few dozen of them. But in terms of martial arts, there are many people who can compete with Brother Jing. They are also very good at hiding, and they are loyal. So since the founding of Da An Kingdom, although there have been many assassinations, there has never been a successful assassination. "
"If my guess is correct, the Emperor will send more people to protect Shu in secret this time. He will definitely choose people from these personal guards." As Xue Rui spoke, he glanced at Yu Shu and said,
"If you don't want people to watch you when you eat, sleep, or go to the toilet, and report your every move to the Emperor, it's best to refuse."
Yu Shu had too many secrets. If any one of them was leaked, it would be enough for her to lose her head.
These personal guards were not protective talismans for her, but talismans that would lead to her death.
Yu Shu's expression changed. She unconsciously changed her posture and looked at Jing Chen. Her expression clearly showed resistance.
Jing Chen lowered his head and thought for a moment. He said, "Okay, I will pay attention. Regardless of whether the Emperor and the Great Advisor mention it to me, once I find that there are masters around her monitoring, I will come out to stop them."
"It better be so."
Xue Rui said this and turned to Yu Shu and said, "Don't you have something to tell Brother Jing?"
Yu Shu didn't expect that it would be her turn so soon. She took a deep breath and looked at Jing Chen who had been deceived for more than a decade. She couldn't help but feel pity in her heart. She unconsciously lowered her voice,
