After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Chamber of Secrets.

Zhao Yao arrived late.

He wrapped himself tightly, as if afraid of being recognized.

She was accompanied by two guards, and after sending Zhao Yao in, the guards stood guard at the door.

As soon as Zhao Yao entered, her heart started beating very fast, especially when she saw the tall figure standing by the window.

"Runlang..." Zhao Yao pounced over like a butterfly.

It turned out to be in vain.

Shangguan Shu turned around. In the dark secret room, only the small window above his head could let in some moonlight, which was reflected on the man's face, making it dark and difficult to understand.

"Did you put a poison on Zhao Ying?" The man's voice showed no emotion.

Zhao Yao was stunned, and in that instant it felt as if cold water was poured over her from head to toe.

How does he know?

She did it so secretly?

Was it Zhao Ying who discovered it and told him?

Zhao Yao has known Shangguan Shu for many years and has some understanding of him. She bets that Shangguan Shu does not have solid evidence, otherwise he would not have reacted this way.

And she also wanted to see to what extent he could favor her...

She likes to watch.

Zhao Yao calmed herself down and pretended to be ignorant, but Shangguan Shu had already seen the guilt and panic in her eyes.

"What do you mean, Runlang? I heard that my sister is sick. Could it be that she is not suffering from a cold, but has been poisoned by a Gu?"

"You don't know?"

"Runlang is doubting me?" Zhao Yao was heartbroken and shed a few tears. "Okay, okay, Shangguan Shu, I have known you for many years, but you doubt me without any reason. Are you really in love with my sister?"

"If you have fallen in love with someone else, just tell me directly. There is no need to humiliate me like this! I am already a fallen woman, and I wanted to become a nun in this life. It was you! It was you who promised me again and again that there would be a future for the three of us, mother and son..."

"I just hate that... the heaven is so unfair. I, Zhao Yao, have been repeatedly harmed by villains. They failed to take my marriage away, and now they want to harm my Xue'er!"

Zhao Yao burst into tears, pointing at Shangguan Shu and accusing him, "It was me who cast the poison, and I want her to die! She failed in her attempt to murder my Xue'er, and this is what she deserves!"

"Although I didn't mean to hurt anyone, she was just too much!"

"I understand that you hate Zhao Ying. I hate her just like you do. But witchcraft is too vicious. Don't do it from now on."

Lift high and drop gently.

This is Shangguan Shu’s love for her, and Zhao Ying will never be able to get even a fraction of it in her entire life!

Zhao Yao was secretly pleased with herself in her heart, but her face looked extremely aggrieved, "Runlang, do you still think it was me who cast the poison?"

Shangguan Shu stared at Zhao Yao quietly, then shook his head for a while, "If you say no, I will believe you."

Even if... you really lied...

Just like he knew she was going to attack Yue'er, but he chose to indulge her.

He also knew that Hu Yanxue's affairs had nothing to do with Zhao Ying, but he still saved Hu Yanxue.

Now, he knew that she had put a poison on Zhao Ying...

Zhao Yao was so moved that she burst into tears and leaned her head into the man's arms.

"Runlang..."

Shangguan Shu was stunned and forgot to hug back.

There was a biting cold wind outside, mixed with ice and snow, but at this moment, Shangguan Shu felt as if his heart had cracked open, and the cold wind was rushing in.

Suddenly, the pain became unbearable.

Shangguan Shu sent Zhao Yao to the door and then ordered her to be sent back safely.

Zhao Yao looked back at Shangguan Shu tenderly and reminded him, "It's dark and the road is slippery, Runlang, be careful when you go back..."

Shangguan Shu nodded absentmindedly.

As a result, Zhao Yao turned around, and just as she stepped, her foot slipped and she fell backwards into the snow.

"what!"

Zhao Yao sank into the snow.

Shangguan Shu and the guards were stunned for a while, and it took them a long time to come back to their senses.

The guards were close by and quickly pulled Zhao Yao out.

Shangguan Shu walked up to him, "Huai'an?"

Zhao Yao was helped up, her hat had already fallen off, revealing her shiny head. Not only that, one of her ears was missing, which made her look particularly...

The guard lowered his head silently and thought about the saddest thing in his life.

Zhao Yao was knocked unconscious by the fall, and her body must have been covered with bruises. She lowered her head and grimaced, not daring to let Shangguan Shu see her ugly appearance.

The guard patted the snow off Zhao Yao's body. Zhao Yao murmured, "I don't know why, but I've been unlucky recently..."

She didn't dare to say anything, except that she was burned by fire, her ears were bitten by rats... she even got pricked by needles when she was getting dressed, her teeth were hurt while eating and she almost broke them, and the eunuch carrying her in the sedan chair sprained his ankle and threw her out of the sedan chair...

It’s really a bad year!

Shangguan Shu felt the same way. He nodded and consoled her, "Then you should come out less often."

When Zhao Yao heard Shangguan Shu comforting her, her sadness and grievance suddenly emerged from her heart. She choked up, "Run Lang..."

She wanted to stay with Shangguan Shu for a while longer, but then she thought again, she had been so unlucky recently, and if she stayed out for too long, she might get into some bad luck, so she hardened her heart.

"Runlang, I'm going back first."

Shangguan Shu also had this idea.

Seeing Zhao Yao leave, he hurried back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

He really wanted to see Zhao Ying...

Shangguan Shu rushed into Qianyuan, exhausted, took off his cloak, and broke into the bedroom before he had time to warm himself by the fire.

Inside, Zhao Ying was sleeping quietly, her beautiful face revealing a sense of serenity.

Shangguan Shu's mind went blank.

He walked over like a lost soul, pulled the person into his arms and held him tightly.

His face was pressed against the woman's burning cheek.

The big hole in his heart seemed to be filled in an instant.

Zhao Ying... Zhao Ying...

do not blame me……

You are my...

You can’t leave me…

I won't let anyone take you away from me!

……

Shangguan Shu walked out of Qianyuan and called his personal guards.

"Did the young lady come here to make trouble today?"

"Your Highness, the young lady today..." The guard told the old Duke everything that had happened today that embarrassed him, "The Master wants to invite a Taoist priest to perform a ritual!"

Shangguan Shu looked dazed for a moment, as if doubting his ears. Then he frowned deeply, and wanted to stop the old Duke from inviting the mage, but then he thought that this would trap the little girl, so that she wouldn't come over and tell Zhao Ying nonsense, so he acquiesced, and only told the little lady to come to him if she felt unwell.

Then, Shangguan Shu ordered the guards to find a capable person who could remove the poison.

The guards were ordered to leave.

Shangguan Shu stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the cold moon in the sky.

I made a decision secretly in my heart.

If his uprising succeeds, Zhao Ying... he will let her stay by his side, as long as she doesn't fight with Huai'an.

……

Shangguan Dan came back from tending to the old Duke, and the more he thought about it, the more worried he became.

This Shangguan Qingyue is really too dangerous.

She seemed to be able to see through their thoughts, predict what they would do, and know everything from major events in the world to trivial matters.

She said that Aunt Zhou was having an affair, and Aunt Zhou was caught red-handed in public...

This is too mysterious...

If she really has such ability, even if it is just a mute kid, it will be very detrimental to the overall situation!

Big brother is such a decisive person, but this time he couldn't bear to take action against a mute!

Since he's not coming, he'll make the decision for him!

Shangguan Dan made up his mind to get rid of Shangguan Qingyue.
