Besides, now that these people have discovered that she is missing, it may not be so easy to come out again next time.
Shen Yu paid attention to the movement outside while rummaging around without damaging the arrangement of things in King Yueqing's room.
But she searched around and found no evidence of interactions between King Yueqing and the courtiers.
Du Shuyan was very sure when he talked to her. Shen Yu also agreed that King Yueqing could not really be innocent.
After turning over carefully again, she still found nothing. Shen Yu straightened up in frustration.
"Your Majesty, Shen Yu is missing."
The sounds of voices and footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Shen Yu felt that her heart was in her throat.
It's King Yueqing who's back.
She looked around the room, trying to find a suitable hiding place.
The furnishings in King Ke Qing's room were simple. After looking around, her eyes settled on the wardrobe.
Before she could think about it, King Yueqing's angry voice sounded at the door.
"A bunch of trash, they can't even stand a lunatic."
Shen Yu didn't care about anything else and quickly hid in the closet before King Yueqing opened the door.
The moment she closed the closet, the door happened to be pushed open.
King Yueqing walked to the Grand Master's chair and sat down. When he picked up the tea, his eyes fell on the long table, and then he slowly took it back.
Did he feel wrong? Why did he feel that someone had come into this room, but things seemed to be arranged very neatly, with no trace of being disturbed.
"My lord, please calm down, they have already gone to find you."
King Yueqing snorted coldly, "What else can you do besides calm down your anger?"
The subordinate closed his mouth and stood aside without saying a word.
King Yueqing didn't want to say anything else. He picked up the tea and brought it to his mouth again. The smell floating in the air made him stop and frowned.
The subordinate thought the tea was not at the right temperature and was about to ask, but King Yueqing's eyes drifted towards him.
"Do you smell anything?"
The subordinate's nose twitched slightly, then shook his head.
Shen Yu, who was hiding in the closet, heard this and tried to shrink her body further to prevent the smell from coming out.
While moving, her back accidentally touched a bump, and then her whole body fell back.
The movement on her side was very small, and she was some distance away from King Yueqing and the two, so it did not attract the attention of the two.
"How many days have you not bathed?"
There were only two of them in the room, so the smell could only come from him or from his subordinates.
It's the kind of stench that comes from not bathing for a long time.
"My subordinate just took a bath yesterday."
The subordinate even smelled himself specially.
…
When Shen Yu leaned back, she was so frightened that she closed her eyes and waited to be discovered.
But she waited for a long time and didn't hear King Yueqing's voice.
She slowly opened her eyes a slit, and what came into view was a secret passage. The secret passage was eerily quiet, with candles lit on both sides swaying gently.
It's actually a secret passage.
Shen Yu was so surprised that she didn't dare to say anything. She turned her head and looked at the place where she had just fallen in. The door was already closed.
So she entered the secret passage after touching the mechanism in the closet?
Shen Yu recovered her mind and walked forward cautiously by the dim candlelight of the secret passage.
Since the mechanism of this secret passage is in King Yueqing's wardrobe, King Yueqing must know it, and maybe King Yueqing's secret is hidden in it.
Thinking of this, Shen Yu couldn't help but speed up her progress.
After passing through a secret passage and going down the steps, a spacious secret room appeared in front of me. The secret room was empty and lit with a few candle lamps. There were several bronze mirrors placed around the candle lamps, making the secret room look particularly strange.
Shen Yu moved his steps slightly, and the sound of shoes scraping the floor was infinitely amplified in the silent secret room.
Suddenly, she noticed something seemed to be on the ground in the center of the bronze mirror.
Because the secret room was relatively dark, Shen Yu couldn't tell what it was.
She let out a heavy breath and stepped closer to the thing she wasn't sure what it was.
When she got closer, she saw what seemed to be a person crawling on the ground based on the light reflected from the bronze mirror.
Shen Yu took a step back, stared at the person whose face he couldn't see clearly, and asked with a trembling voice.
"You...who are you?"
Her voice was not loud, but it sounded particularly clear in the quiet secret room.
Seeing that the people on the ground were silent, Shen Yu frowned and repeated it again.
She was very sure that the person on the ground was still alive, because the other person's back was still rising and falling, and he was obviously breathing.
Shen Yu hesitated for a moment, then turned around to get a candle to see what this person looked like.
When she turned around, her own figure was reflected in the bronze mirror, which scared her so much that she almost screamed.
The King of Yueqing put so many bronze mirrors here to scare anyone to death.
Shen Yu patted his chest to calm his heart that was beating wildly due to fear.
The people on the ground must be mute, so they can't hear themselves speak.
When the candle lantern was brought over, Shen Yu kept cheering herself up.
Now that you're here, you have to find out what's going on, don't be afraid.
After gathering up the courage, she slowly squatted down and approached the person on the ground with the candle.
As she got closer, she realized that the clothes of the person on the ground were shabby, their hair was messier than her who was pretending to be crazy, and even her body odor was a bit stinkier than hers.
She didn't know whether it was because she was too scared or because she smelled so bad that she ignored the unpleasant smell.
"Hey," Shen Yu raised his hand and patted the man's shoulder, "Who are you and why are you here?"
The people on the ground still didn't speak, but their bodies were shaking very badly.
Not knowing where he got the courage, Shen Yu used all his strength to lift the trembling heads from the ground.
"ah--"
Seeing the face of the person on the ground clearly, Shen Yu screamed in fright, and the candle lantern in his hand rolled from his hand to the ground.
She ignored the candle that fell to the ground and slowly backed away from her fallen body.
"who are you?"
Shen Yu didn't dare to look directly at this person, wondering what he had done to deserve such torture.
The face of the person on the ground was covered with dense scratches, and there was not a single piece of good skin. This was not the most terrifying thing. What was terrifying was that her nose had also been cut off, leaving only two holes. Adding to her terrifying face, Shen Yucai Be scared.
Seeing that the other party seemed to want to speak, but no sound came out. Instead, the chains on her feet made some noise when she tried to sit up.
"You can't speak?" Shen Yu picked up the extinguished candle on the ground and lit it again. She mustered up the courage to look at the other party, only to find that this terrifying woman's tongue had also been cut out.
She tried to communicate with the other party, but the other party could only huddle aside and couldn't give her any useful information.
Could it be that he is crazy?
"Who are you? I'm not here to harm you."
The other party lowered her head, as if she had scared Shen Yu just now. She did not look at Shen Yu, but slowly raised her finger and pointed at the ground.
"I asked you who you are and what are you doing on the ground?"
After Shen Yu finished speaking, she slowly moved away and pointed to the ground.
