Song Wu's question stumped Shen Xingcan.

She rose from Song Wu's arms, her sparkling eyes filled with confusion and grievance: "I...I don't know! My brother never told me, but I see he's often unhappy!"

Song Wu asked again: "Are you hurt by love?"

Without waiting for Shen Xingcan's reply, Lu Xiao immediately denied it. "Yuan Ci is a talented man in the capital. Although he has never lacked women interested in him, all his thoughts are almost entirely on official duties. He previously won the third place in the imperial examination and entered the Hanlin Academy as an editor. Later, he was promoted to the position of Director of the Ministry of Personnel's Examination and Inspection Department. Even the top scholar was not promoted as fast as him!"

Song Wu understood.

The children of noble families were able to pass the imperial examinations on their own, which showed that they had some abilities.

After all, most young masters are like Song Chusi, who have a title but are actually blinded by vanity at a young age.

Would such a successful young man repeatedly attempt suicide? He didn't even have the slightest desire to live?

She looked at Shen Xingcan and said, "I can save him, but I have to pay you. After the mission is accomplished, you must not tell anyone that I saved Master Shen!"

Shen Xingcan agreed repeatedly, "I'll deduct the reward from my own dowry. Is 20,000 taels enough?"

Song Wu quickly said, "Enough, enough!"

She doesn't want to be like the Duke's Mansion, owing so many favors!

Song Wu and his group soon arrived at the Shen Mansion.

Although the Shen Mansion is not as big as the Duke's Mansion, it is also a noble family that ranks among the best in the capital.

The palace is full of pavilions, towers, red buildings and carved railings, making it look magnificent and beautiful.

Lu Xiao, Song Wu and his party arrived at Shen Yuanci's courtyard. Shen Xingcan led everyone in. When they looked up, they saw Princess Changyang sitting next to them and crying.

Princess Changyang looked about the same age as Li, and was dressed in extremely luxurious clothes, but her face was filled with sorrow, and she already had some white hair.

"Mother!" Shen Xingcan ran in immediately.

"Can'er?" Princess Changyang looked up and saw Shen Xingcan, Lu Xiao, Song Wu and others behind him.

Song Wu got married the day before yesterday, but she did not lift her veil at the wedding, so Princess Changyang did not recognize her.

"Can'er, why did you come out? And you got yourself into this state!"

Shen Xingcan raised his head in rebellion, "Father won't let me go out to find someone to save my brother, but I'm going anyway! Look, besides Brother Lu Xiao, there's also Princess Jin, who can save my brother!"

When Princess Changyang heard that it was Princess Jin, she hurriedly led the servants in the house to pay her respects.

Song Wu ignored these etiquettes. After helping them up, he ignored Princess Changyang's gaze and sat down in front of Shen Yuanci's couch.

Shen Yuanci is about the same age as Lu Xiao, around twenty-two or twenty-three years old, but he looks more frail and bookish.

He has fair skin, handsome features and a well-defined face, like a bright and clear moon, making people feel friendly and quiet.

Song Wu first took his pulse, and then carefully examined his breath.

Then he asked, "Princess, how many days has Master Shen been in a coma?"

Princess Changyang actually didn't believe that Song Wu could save her son, she just thought it was a few kids playing tricks.

After all, countless imperial physicians and famous doctors from outside have been invited, but no one can help.

But the other party is a precious princess, and she cannot refuse her face.

Then she said, "Five days, it has been five whole days!"

Song Wu nodded. "Mr. Shen committed suicide by slitting his wrists, and was then rescued by his family. He must have taken a lot of supplements afterwards, right? But he never regained consciousness."

Princess Changyang was quite surprised that this young princess could really see something!

"Yes, I used all kinds of precious supplements every day to keep him alive, but he just couldn't wake up!"

Song Wu turned and looked at Princess Changyang: "It's not that Master Shen can't wake up, but that he doesn't want to wake up. He must be holding a grudge and has lost the will to live! If Princess believes me, take the others down first. I'll call you back in a quarter of an hour!"

Princess Changyang didn't understand what she was going to do, so she turned her attention to Lu Xiao, who had always been good friends with Shen Yuanci.

Lu Xiao bowed and said, "Don't worry, Princess. The princess is very capable and will definitely not let you down!"

Princess Changyang looked at the few people suspiciously. Although she didn't believe it, she still closed the door and left.

Xiao Kui took out cinnabar and yellow paper, and Song Wu quickly drew a talisman.

She turned around and looked at everyone in the room. "You guys should go out too. No one can disturb you later. Come back in a quarter of an hour!"

After everyone left, Song Wu activated the imperial talisman to burn the soul-entering talisman in his hand, and soon entered Shen Yuanci's sea of ​​consciousness.

In Shen Yuanci's sea of ​​consciousness, Song Wu saw that he was still staying in the Shen Mansion.

He was alone, in the coldest days of winter, wearing only his undershirt, reading and writing with his back straight in the middle of the night.

He seemed hungry, sleepy, and sad.

She saw him write a full policy paper, then throw away the paper and pen like a madman and run out of the yard quickly.

A huge net covered with spikes suddenly fell from the sky and smashed down heavily on him. His soul was trapped in the Shen Mansion and could never get out.

Song Wu knew that he had been trapped in such a dream, repeating over and over again.

This is Shen Yuanci's sea of ​​consciousness, and she can sense his deep and powerless sadness.

Song Wu walked towards him. She would make this time different!

Once again, seeing that the giant net of spikes was about to fall towards him, Song Wu immediately took action, and the giant net instantly disappeared.

In the yard, Song Wu stood there in a peerless manner. Shen Yuanci turned around and glanced at her, his eyes filled with surprise, envy, and gratitude.

However, just when Song Wu thought that she had saved him and could wake him up and escape from this dream, she saw Shen Yuanci smiling brightly at her, turning around and opening the door of the Shen Mansion in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Song Wu felt relieved and opened the door. This should be his ideal future!

However, at this moment, the door slowly opened, and Song Wu's blood stopped flowing!

That was not the street Song Wu came from, nor was it the illusion leading to freedom and awakening, but the Yellow Springs Road leading to the underworld!

If it is opened, not only Shen Yuanci will die, but she will die too!

Song Wu quickly leaped over, rushed in front of him in two steps, and quickly closed the door!

She suddenly emerged from Shen Yuanci's sea of ​​consciousness.

After opening his eyes, Song Wu took a long time to calm his pounding heart.

She opened the door and everyone looked at her.

"How is it? Is Yuanci awake?" Princess Changyang's concerned and worried eyes were fixed on her.

Song Wu shook his head.

Princess Changyang and Shen Xingcan both looked at Lu Xiao.

Unable to withstand the two burning gazes, Lu Xiao anxiously asked, "Sister, is there any hope for Yuan Ci?"

Song Wu uttered two words with difficulty: "There is help!"

Although she had come out of Shen Yuanci's sea of ​​consciousness and her heartbeat had calmed down, the feeling of sadness that had accumulated over time and seeped into her bones still enveloped her whole body.

She calmed herself down and tried to get rid of her emotions: "Is General Shen here?"

Princess Changyang hurriedly said, "Yes!"

"Let him come too!"

Princess Changyang thought of her husband's attitude towards his son, who had contemplated suicide several times, and she couldn't help but feel even more worried. "He asked his father to come over. Is there something wrong?"

Song Wu nodded: "Only he can save Master Shen. The root cause of Master Shen's suicide lies with him!"

Princess Changyang went there in person, feeling confused.

Half a moment later, Song Wu saw an angry, tall and burly figure walking towards the gate of the courtyard.
