dungeon.
The two Shen family disciples threw You Ruo into the cell like a dead dog, and then closed the cell.
Because of the drag just now, Youruo, who was originally unconscious, finally regained some sense.
She crawled slowly, with great difficulty.
"Master... you... you have to believe me. The secret has not been found out yet. You have to be extremely careful when doing things..."
Immediately, she seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of her bloody mouth couldn't help but raise a wry smile.
what's the function? The master no longer believes in himself.
Shen Yuan didn't believe her, and she seemed to feel that her heart was broken into pieces.
My life belongs to the master. If the master doesn't trust me, then why am I still alive?
"Meet the Patriarch!"
At this time, the sounds of greetings from the Shen family disciples were heard outside the cell.
"You go down first, I will torture this woman myself."
"Yes!"
After the two disciples handed the cell key to Shen Yuan, they respectfully left.
Opening the cell door, Shen Yuan, leaning on a cane, slowly arrived in front of Youruo, looking down from a high position.
"Master...Master...I don't have..."
Shen Yuan leaned down and gently stroked her dirty cheek.
"Does it hurt?"
You Ruo gritted her teeth and let her tears fall, but still stubbornly shook her head.
"How could it not hurt?" Shen Yuan's hand moved down, and then lifted Youruo's chin, "I know the strength of my attack. It's impossible for you not to feel pain, so why did you lie?"
Youruo didn't answer, but looked sadly into Shen Yuan's eyes.
"Master... I have never betrayed you, I have never..."
Suddenly, Shen Yuan hugged him in his arms.
"I know. You've been with me for so long, don't you still understand me? If I really doubt you, how could I not destroy your cultivation?"
"Youruo, I'm sorry."
You Ruo felt that her brain was shut down. Wasn't the master executing her?
"But otherwise, how can we hide the real secret? So, I feel wronged to you."
"Master, you...this is..."
He gently wiped the tears from the corners of Youruo's eyes and said, "Xiao Dezi is not my secret son at all. The masked person you saw yesterday was me."
"Eh?"
"I went to Luoxia Palace as usual, but after putting Princess Qianrou into a deep sleep, I quietly came to the agreed place and pretended to be Xiao Dezi."
"Because I know that the traitor must have a very important position in the Shen family, and is most likely one of the top ten elders."
"That's why I called the meeting in advance to announce the information I wanted to deal with the Empress."
"And that secret agent will definitely not miss this opportunity. He will definitely lurk and investigate secretly."
"That's why I asked you to meet the so-called Anzi..."
"And you guessed it, the Empress' secret agent will not give up. After knowing that you have placed someone beside the Empress, he will definitely find a way to find out that person's true identity. Therefore, following me is the best way..."
"That's right, that's why I acted out that scene with you. As for the so-called poison powder, it's just a bag of quicklime."
"After Anzi learns of this false information, he will report it to the empress."
"And the Empress killed Xiao Dezi as I expected. In this way, my suspicion will naturally fall on you, and then I will seriously injure you and imprison you... Haha, the Empress is now , I’m afraid she feels that everything is under control, right?”
"That is to say, from the very beginning, there was no one of your kind by the Empress' side?"
Shen Yuan nodded: "Yes, I would like to, but our empress is not a fuel-efficient lamp. I have never thought about placing chess pieces around her, but she will notice and remove them every time. So there is no way around her. There is no one of mine, and as for Xiao Dezi, I just made it up randomly from among the eunuchs I know."
"Then how are you going to uncover the hidden secret of the Empress?"
"Don't forget, three days later, I have to go get 'something'. Do you think that hidden coin will let me get 'that thing'?"
"Now I'm locking you in a dungeon without giving you a chance to speak. In the eyes of that Anzi, I am someone who doesn't know the information about 'that thing' at all. What would you do if you were him?"
You Ruo hurriedly said: "I will pick up that thing myself in three days!"
"Yes, that's exactly it. So, whoever will go to Yuluo Bridge to get 'that thing' in three days' time will be the empress's secret agent and the Shen family's traitor!"
Hearing this, Youruo couldn't help but feel sincerely happy for Shen Yuan.
"Master...you are really...ingenious!"
"It's just a pain for you." Shen Yuan stroked her cheek again, "In order to make the scene more realistic, I hit harder... Does it hurt?"
This time, Youruo did not shake his head, but nodded slightly.
"Yeah, but as long as you can help the master, it's okay if you suffer a little bit!"
Knowing that the master didn't believe in him, but was designing it, the haze in Youruo's heart completely disappeared.
As long as the master's plan is successful, it doesn't matter if he suffers a little grievance and physical pain.
Especially now that the master is still holding him.
"Youruo, thank you..."
She nuzzled into Shen Yuan's arms gently: "It doesn't matter, as long as I can help the master, no matter what Youruo does, Youruo will be happy. Youruo's life belongs to you."
"I'm sorry for you."
"I'm not aggrieved... Without you, I would have been torn apart twelve years ago..."
"After my plan is completed, I will give you the pair of Thousand Illusion Spiritual Eyes."
"Really?" Although she looked forward to it, the luster in her eyes dimmed a little, "But according to the rules of the Shen family, isn't it true that spiritual pupils cannot be given to collateral members or slaves?"
"Don't believe me?"
"No, no!" You Ruo quickly shook his head.
"Okay." He pushed You Ruo away gently, "Let's make the play more realistic. I'll wrong you for a while longer."
"Oh." Youruo pouted, thinking she could let her master hold her for a little longer.
"Scream."
"what?"
"Haha, do I have to do it to make you scream?"
"Oh oh oh!" After Youruo reacted, he immediately let out a shrill scream.
outside the dungeon.
The two Shen family disciples couldn't help but secretly shake their heads when they heard the tragic cry.
"It's really miserable, tsk tsk, the master's methods are much easier to endure than that woman's."
"Yes, the head of our family is good at everything. He has to be scheming and resourceful, but he is so cruel!"
"Listening to what the elders were saying, this woman was beaten so badly by the family leader on the spot that she became disgraceful."
"But yes, who asked her to betray the Shen family? She also told the empress about the secret arrangement of the Shen family around the empress. She really deserves it."
After hearing such a shrill scream, a figure slowly disappeared into the night in the shadows.
