Chapter 149 Shadow Prince
Chapter 149 Shadow Prince
As soon as Liang Chongyue entered the house, he smelled a strong stench. If there were not some herbal fragrance in the house to cover it up, it would have been extremely smelly.
Liang Chongyue frowned, held his breath, and walked to the small wooden bed where Shentu Yu was lying.
The stench in the entire house originated from here. Liang Chongyue bought a pack of scented paper from the space, folded it, turned around and stuffed it into his nostrils, and only then did he feel alive again.
"Who are you?"
Liang Chongyue walked up to the small wooden bed and looked at the man who was wrapped like a mummy, with only two eyes, a nose and a mouth exposed.
It has rained at night these past few days. I don't know who removed the windows of the house, but almost all the exposed parts of the man's face were bitten by mosquitoes.
If it weren't for his eyes that kept moving, he would be no different from a living dead.
But since we're doing a show, we have to do it in full.
Liang Chongyue brainwashed herself, pretending that the stench did not exist, stretched out her hand, and slowly approached the man.
"I am a spy that the king planted in the capital in his early years. Someone came to me with a token and asked me to sneak into the princess's mansion to find the whereabouts of the prince."
"Looking at the prince like this, I'm afraid he won't be able to move for ten days or half a month. This princess is really cruel. It's easy for me to enter and exit the princess's mansion alone. If you keep like this, I can't take you away."
Liang Chongyue showed a bit of embarrassment at the right time, and looked carefully at Shentu Yu's mummified body, preparing to trick him into talking.
When Shentu Yu heard that they were there to rescue him, he almost collapsed when he thought about the days he had been tortured by all kinds of snakes, rats, insects and ants, and his life was worse than death.
"Take me away, and I'll give you a thousand taels of gold. You won't have to risk your life as a spy in the capital. This sum of money will be enough to keep you rich for half your life. Take me away!"
Liang Chongyue lit the incense that could easily make people irritable and angry in a corner where Shentu Yu couldn't see. Under normal circumstances, the shadow prince of Langwa might have discovered it quickly.
But now he is almost driven crazy. He has lived a life of luxury since he was a child. Even though he was called a monster, his good brother never lacked him for anything.
I'm afraid the suffering I endured in the first half of my life was not as much as these three days.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will find a way to get you out, but not now."
Seeing Shentu Yu getting excited again, Liang Chongyue continued,
"Today, the palace is hosting a banquet. The Princess Zhenguo is highly regarded by the Emperor and will definitely attend. Once the princess leaves, the defenses at the Princess Mansion will be weakened. At that time, I will definitely bring people to rescue the prince."
Liang Chongyue calmed Shentu Yu's restless mood with a word, extinguished the incense in his hand, and re-lit a calming and hallucinogenic incense.
This was extracted from the pills found on Yun Sanqi.
Eight incense sticks were made from a dozen pills.
Liang Chongyue waved the lit incense near Shentu Yu's head. Seeing that his eyelids were drooping more and more, she called him a few times in his ear. Seeing that he only responded, she could no longer open his eyes.
She put away the incense stick in her hand and began to whisper in his ear in Langwa language, muttering that no one knew when the fierce battle between Langwa and Dai Viet would begin or end.
After a few mutterings, Liang Chongyue saw the ironic smile on Shentu Yu's lips, and soon he started muttering to himself without her guidance.
"The Dai Viet are all idiots. Daqian's words are like farts. Only idiots like the Dai Viet royal family would believe their nonsense."
"None of them are as smart as my brother. If my brother was born in Daqian, he would definitely be the new king of Daqian. In this way, I would be the prince of Daqian, hehehe."
"Everyone says that Daxia's princess is the most beautiful woman in the world. When the time comes, I will definitely ask my brother to find her to be my princess consort. I will let her wear all kinds of beautiful clothes every day, bring me footbath water, rub my back, and give me massages. Hehehe..."
Liang Chongyue listened to Shen Tu Yu talking on and on, so she grabbed some Coptis chinensis hanging nearby and stuffed it into his mouth.
It’s too nice to think about it. You need to endure some hardships and be more realistic.
Make her his princess? Wear all kinds of beautiful clothes and wash his feet? Rub his back? Massage him every day?
Buddy, you're going to die.
Feeling the saliva in his mouth becoming more and more bitter, Shen Tu Yu was tied to the small wooden bed again, and Liang Chongyue pressed his mouth with a cloth.
There was nothing he could do but swallow it down.
Shentu Yu was coughing so hard that tears were about to come out, but Liang Chongyue didn't show any mercy.
Finally, when Shentu Yu calmed down, Liang Chongyue released the cloth on his mouth. The corners of his mouth were already full of light yellow coptis water.
Even the cloth pressed against his mouth was stained yellow.
Seeing that he looked like he was about to die, Liang Chongyue picked up the kettle beside him and gave him some water to drink.
After he recovered a little, Liang Chongyue continued with the previous question:
"What does the war between Dai Viet and Lang Wa have to do with Daqian? Daqian won't want to get involved. If this war breaks out, the people of Lang Wa will suffer again."
Shentu Yu was almost tortured to death, his ears were gradually becoming deaf, and he could not hear what Liang Chongyue said.
All he could hear was a pleasant voice next to him that seemed to be telling him a story.
It's much nicer than the mosquitoes and rats I heard at night these days.
It was as gentle as the voice his mother used when she told him stories when he was a child. Listening to it, he even missed his mother a little.
Before he knew it, Shentu Yu closed his eyes and fell asleep completely.
Liang Chongyue stood beside the small bed where he was lying, looking at this man who had just taken Coptis chinensis and was still sleeping with a sweet smile on his face. It was really hard to associate this man with the magical Shadow Prince in Langwa Chuan.
The Langwa men were taller than the Daxia men. The small bed was 1.8 meters by 1 meter. Shentu Yu lay on it with his feet exposed.
Liang Chongyue took out a silver needle from the bun on top of her head and inserted it into the acupuncture point on the sole of Shentu Yu's foot. It would not kill him, but would only wake him up in pain.
The main thing is that apart from his face, only his feet are exposed. She came here today to question him. Shen Tu Yu's face has been bitten by mosquitoes and there is not a single good place on it, so it is really difficult to insert the needle.
When Liang Chongyue gave Shentu Yu the injection, he subconsciously shuddered and tried to hide, whimpering like a little animal begging for mercy.
"Mother, please stop hitting me. Wuwuwu, Yu'er will practice hard and will not hold brother back. When Yu'er grows up, he will definitely be able to protect brother..."
"Brother, Yu'er is in so much pain. Brother, why does Yu'er have white hair? Why is everyone afraid of Yu'er? Mother is afraid of her too. Why..."
