Emperor Shen's charming wife

In the following days, there were many disturbances inside and outside the palace. Small-scale riots and assassinations occurred one after another, putting Ning Yao and Shen Yu in dangerous situations. It was a dark night, and the paths in the palace were dimly lit by dim lanterns. Ning Yao and Shen Yu were walking hurriedly, and suddenly, a black shadow jumped out from the flowers next to them, holding a sharp blade and approaching them. Shen Yu reacted quickly, pulled Ning Yao behind him, dodged the attack sideways, and kicked the assassin to the ground. However, the danger was not over, and several assassins appeared around them and surrounded them. Fortunately, the two were not afraid of danger and cooperated with each other. After a fierce fight, they finally repelled the assassin, but they were exhausted. Such dangers continued to occur, but every crisis brought them one step closer to the truth. In this series of events, Ning Xue actually played the role of a double agent. On the surface, she pretended to be close to Ning Yao, but secretly she had her own plans. On the one hand, she secretly passed on some seemingly useful but insignificant news to Ning Yao to show that she was helping her; on the other hand, she passed on carefully fabricated false information to the mysterious person in an attempt to disrupt the other party's judgment and buy more time for herself. By chance, Ning Yao and Shen Yu discovered a secret base of a mysterious person in a very secret corner. When they stepped into it, they saw that it was filled with a large amount of evidence related to the old case of the royal family, as well as resentful words against Ning Yao's family. Among the piles of information, they unexpectedly found the diary left by the mysterious person. On the yellowed paper, the lines of handwriting seemed to be telling the past, and the words revealed his deep regret for his past actions. Just as Ning Yao and Shen Yu were about to dig deeper into the investigation, the mysterious person suddenly appeared like a ghost. Unexpectedly, he came here not to continue his previous revenge, but to beg for a face-to-face conversation. He claimed that he had something very important to tell, but the condition was that his personal safety must be guaranteed. This sudden request shocked everyone present. This unexpected development also laid a very deep suspense for the upcoming plot twist. Ning Yao and Shen Yu looked at each other as if they had telepathy, and nodded to each other tacitly. They agreed to the mysterious man's request, but for the sake of caution, they still carefully laid a net at the agreed location. The agreed time has arrived, Ning Yao and Shen Yu stood side by side in the spacious hall of the palace, and their eyes were locked on the door. With a heavy "creak", the door slowly opened, and a mysterious figure walked in with a steady step. He was wearing a black mask, exuding an indescribable mysterious aura, as if shrouded in a layer of mist. Shen Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze like a sharp hawk, fixed on the mysterious man, and asked, "Are you the mysterious man?" The mysterious man raised his head, his eyes passed through the gap in the mask, and fell directly on Shen Yu, and responded, "Yes, I am." Then, the mysterious man slowly took off the mask, and a familiar face appeared in front of everyone. "Shen Yu, long time no see." Shen Yu was slightly stunned, and a look of surprise instantly appeared on his face. He said in disbelief: "You are... Shen Li?" Shen Li smiled slightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes. His gaze always fell on Shen Yu: "Yes, I am Shen Li, your half brother." Shen Yu's face became a little gloomy, and his eyes were like cold swords, falling directly on Shen Li: "Why are you here?" Shen Li smiled slightly, turned his gaze to Ning Yao, and a sneer appeared on his face: "Back then, your Ning family killed my mother. Now, I will make your Ning family pay with blood." Ning Yao was slightly stunned, her face full of surprise: "What did you say?" Shen Li looked at Ning Yao again, with a chill in his eyes: "Back then, your Ning family killed my mother in order to seize the throne. Now, I will make your Ning family pay the price."
