After hearing Su Liuyue's purpose, Shen Fu agreed immediately even though she looked a little uneasy.
After getting on the carriage, she bit her plump red lips gently and said, "My Lady, my father was summoned to the palace by the Emperor late at night yesterday. When he came back, his face was gloomier than ever before. He said that something might happen to our family as well.
But no matter how my mother questioned him, he was unwilling to say more.
My mother was very worried and anxious the whole morning because of this. Does this have anything to do with Wei Wuyan's arrest?"
It seems that General Shen did not tell them what happened in the palace yesterday.
But since Su Liuyue needed her help, it was impossible to hide this from her.
She then told her what had happened last night in as much detail as she could.
Shen Fu couldn't help but cover her mouth with both hands. Her eyes opened wide and trembled slightly. After a while, she said, "Wei Wuyan... Wei Wuyan, why did he do that?"
Although, his overly suffocating and paranoid feelings towards her made her very uncomfortable.
But other than that, she felt that he was just an ordinary man who was relatively introverted but kind-hearted.
She never expected that he would do such a thing as putting his entire family on the spot!
Su Liuyue shook her head slowly and said, "Why he did this is exactly what I wanted to ask Miss Shen San to find out for me."
Shen Fu bit her lip secretly, put down her hand that was covering her mouth, and nodded solemnly.
With her abilities, there might be little she could do to help the Crown Princess and my father.
But she was thankful that there was still something she could do.
After the two arrived at the Dali Temple, they met the Dali Temple Secretary who was waiting for them at the gate.
Before Zhou Yunke left this morning, he told Su Liuyue that the temple secretary's surname was Li and he was a trustworthy person.
After they got off the carriage, Li Sicheng immediately led them to the Dali Temple, and said with a sullen face as he walked, "Fortunately, the queen came early. It is said that during the morning court today, the emperor was furious and summoned several people in charge of the Cui and Wei families to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and reprimanded them for their crimes in front of all the officials in the morning court.
Wei Erlang has not been called over yet."
Su Liuyue pursed her lips slightly.
Obviously, Wei Erlang was the main reason for the Wei family's misfortune, but the emperor didn't call him over.
This shows that the emperor is no longer targeting the incident itself, but the entire Wei family, or in other words, all the powerful people of the old dynasty.
After arriving outside the Dali Temple dungeon, Su Liuyue stopped and turned to Shen Fu and said, "Next, you will go in by yourself, okay?"
She had already discussed this matter with Shen Fu in the carriage.
If Wei Wuyan saw her, he would definitely be wary, and it would be even more difficult to pry open his mouth.
Therefore, the best way is to let Shen Fu go in to see him alone.
Shen Fu clasped her hands together somewhat nervously, but nodded with a firm expression, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have remembered what you told me in the carriage just now."
As she spoke, she suddenly smiled softly and said, "It would be great if I could help Her Majesty this time. Ever since I met Her Majesty, I've learned that women don't necessarily have to live by the rules, nor do they only have the choice of obeying their family's arrangements. I just hope that I can get closer to Her Majesty." Su Liuyue was slightly stunned.
The next moment, Shen Fu turned around and walked into the dungeon resolutely.
This dungeon, which was used to hold the imperial court's most wanted criminals, only held a small number of people. Su Liuyue had already asked Zhou Yunke to try to keep Wei Wuyan solitary.
Therefore, Shen Fu followed Li Sicheng all the way to the end of the dungeon, where she saw Wei Wuyan, who was sitting in the corner with a dazed look and messy hair.
He lowered his head slightly at this time, so Shen Fu couldn't see his appearance clearly. She could only squat on the ground and shouted in a low voice: "Wei Wuyan, Wei Wuyan!"
Wei Wuyan's hand trembled slightly, and he raised his head suddenly. When Shen Fu saw the bloodstains all over his face, her eyes widened suddenly, and she couldn't help but let out a low scream.
Not only on his face, but if you look closely, no part of his exposed skin is intact!
Wei Wuyan took a while to confirm that he was not mistaken. His eyes suddenly lit up and he almost crawled over to her and said, "Fuer, you came to see me! Am I dreaming?"
Shen Fu frowned. After all, they were friends who grew up together. She couldn't help but show some distress in her eyes, "How... did you become like this? If this is serious, the whole clan will be executed! Why did you wade into this mess! Obviously... obviously..."
You are obviously the eldest son of the Wei family. As long as you keep doing good, your future will definitely be bright and smooth.
Why do you make yourself like this?!
Wei Wuyan just looked at her stupidly, as if he didn't hear what she said. Suddenly, he smiled stupidly, "Fuer, just bear with it a little longer. Soon, no one in this world can separate us. You are destined to be mine, mine..."
Deep in Shen Fu's heart, just like every time he looked at her like this in the past, she felt an indescribable feeling of nausea.
It was that kind of look again, as if he didn't regard her as a person at all, but just something that belonged to him.
She couldn't help but said bitterly: "Why are you doing this? I know I am sorry for you, but some things can't be forced. Even if I force myself to marry you, you won't be happy."
I also promised you that I would not get engaged to anyone else, let alone get married, until you found another woman you loved.
You have ended up like this now, what future do you have? Wuyan, tell me, was there anyone who forced you to do this? "
Wei Wuyan suddenly looked fierce, grabbed the wooden railing in front of him, and shook it like crazy, his eyes looking like he wanted to eat someone, "Shen Fu, I told you, you are not allowed to say such things again! I will never have another woman I love, and you can't marry anyone else. You are mine, and you will always belong to me!"
Seeing Shen Fu flinch slightly and step back in fear, Wei Wuyan suddenly seemed to wake up from a dream, his face was instantly filled with regret and self-blame, and he said in a soft voice: "Fuer, Fuer, don't be afraid of me, I won't hurt you, never, I just... I just like you too much.
Fuer, don't worry, no one forced me. This is my own choice. My current situation is only temporary.
Fuer, do you know that after I realized that you wanted to break off the engagement with me, I was extremely distressed and desperate, and kept thinking, what exactly did I do wrong to not be able to keep you?
Later, I finally figured it out. The reason I couldn't keep you was because I was too weak. How could a man with no ability but only a so-called family background keep you?"
His eyes suddenly lit up abnormally, like a wild wolf preparing to hunt in the dense forest at night. With a strange smile on his face, he said word by word: "Fuer, wait for me. Soon, very soon I will have supreme power in my hands. By then, no one can snatch you away from me, no one..."
Shen Fu looked at him, her heart trembling uncontrollably, as if only at this moment did she finally see clearly what kind of person her childhood sweetheart was.
Su Liuyue waited outside for about a quarter of an hour before Shen Fu came out.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, walked over and asked, "How is it? Did he say why he did that?" (End of this chapter)
