Chapter 670: Willing calculation, lethargy
Wujue’s final answer was silence.
He never dared to underestimate the insight of an emperor. It was very likely that Jiang Lingxi would be able to detect any action on his side.
Facing his friend's gaze at this moment, he lowered his eyes and remained silent.
Hearing the sound of Shen Yunqing turning around and leaving, he raised his eyes and looked over.
Two figures stood side by side outside the door. They were walking side by side in exchange for their supreme desire.
He couldn't help but sigh.
Your Majesty must pass this level.
It has been doomed a long time ago. If it doesn’t happen this time, there will be another time.
This is the price!
Even after the matter was resolved, Jiang Lingxi and Shen Yunqing did not leave.
Wujue fell into the trap of Wuhua who stayed in this underground secret laboratory before leaving Changcangmen. Now he is still as stiff as a stone. Before he can regain his ability to move, there must be someone in charge here.
Just after arranging accommodation, a video call came from Changning.
This girl also called me once when I went underground, but because there was no signal, she hung up automatically.
I guess I guessed that it was inconvenient to answer the phone, so I called again after a while.
Shen Yunqing clicked connect.
"Sir, what's going on over there? Have you found anyone? Are you injured?"
“Found it, your master was tricked by Wuhua, but he said his life is not in danger.”
“This person won’t stop even after he’s dead. So, are you and Sister Xi unable to come back for the time being?”
“I will stay here for two days until your master recovers.”
"Okay, okay, sir, don't worry, I will guard this place well."
Jiang Lingxi was sitting on a lounge chair found in one of the buildings in Changcangmen, with a blanket covering her body and a rechargeable hot water bottle under her hand.
Having been busy for most of the day, she was listening to the sound of video chatting next to her, and the swaying of the recliner, and she felt like her eyelids were fighting like crazy.
Until she heard someone calling her next to her.
“Supper is almost ready. Eat before going to bed.”
“Is it okay if I don’t eat?”
"no."
It was rare to receive a rebuttal from the person next to him. Jiang Lingqiang braced himself and opened all his eyes. He couldn't help but yawned, "I'm so sleepy."
Shen Yunqing glanced at the time on his phone.
They had just finished lunch when they received the call for help from Changfu. After making quick arrangements, they rushed here non-stop. After arriving, they started looking for people and were now dealing with the follow-up. Unknowingly, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening. It's time.
It is indeed a bit later than usual to have dinner.
But it’s not the usual time to sleep.
I also slept in the car for a while before.
With His Majesty’s always having much more energy than others, it is impossible for him to be so sleepy so early.
His eyes couldn't help but fall on the tightly gloved hands on the hot water bottle.
Is this also one of the side effects?
“Hold on a little longer.”
"Well," Jiang Lingxi nodded lazily. Now that the crisis was over, she didn't want to think anymore, "Okay."
The cooked meal was delivered to her. Jiang Lingxi ate it hastily with Shen Yunqing's hand, washed briefly, stuffed the hot water bottle into her arms and went to bed.
The headlights in the room were turned off, and only the night light on the bedside table was turned on.
Shen Yunqing sat quietly on the bed next door for a long time, and then quietly went to find Wujue who lived next door.
Wujue still maintained the same posture that everyone saw when they found him before. Now he could at most move his head slowly.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, he looked up and saw the person walking in. There was no trace of surprise on his face. “Your Majesty, is he asleep?”
"Well," Shen Yunqing walked to sit across from Wujue, "I started to feel sleepy. Is this one of the sequelae?"
"It's a bit similar to hibernation. It would be fine if it was summer, but now it's winter, so it's more obvious."
"How are you?"
Wujue moved his neck slowly, "This is a technique called a cage. The body that originally belonged to me has turned into a cage. The ability will slowly dissipate when I break through the prison. This is why Wuhua used those two children as a guide. Tailor-made for me. She wouldn’t let me die, she wanted me to be driven crazy by this feeling.”
Seeing his friend frowning after hearing this, he smiled instead, "This is to make me feel the same. She wants to survive at all costs, and she also wants to see me break out of the prison at any cost. But she calculated wrongly, I am not as persistent as she is."
"I just want to trouble you. It's not convenient for me to move now. You and Your Majesty may have to stay here for a few more days."
Shen Yunqing has long been mentally prepared.
Although he was angry and knew that Wuhua was plotting against the child and still bumped into him, he also knew that this person would definitely not watch the two children being sacrificed.
Wuhua indeed made the calculation accurately.
Once things fail, Wujue finds the underground cave and will definitely accept this plan willingly.
“What are you going to do with those children?”
"There is no way to send them to an orphanage. Their bodies have been modified by Wuhua to a certain extent, and they have lived in places like underground caves for several years. They are no longer children. We can only raise them ourselves."
“I will provide financial support. If it is inconvenient for you now, let Changfu and the others take care of it first.”
If it were normal, he wouldn't be able to help with more care and arrangements.
But now His Majesty's health is the top priority, and he has no energy to focus on other things.
Wujue also knew in his heart that if something happened to His Majesty, his good friend might become a walking zombie again.
He has seen it once and doesn’t want to see it a second time.
He is definitely the second person in the world who hopes that His Majesty will get well soon.
The first one is naturally the person in front of me.
Shen Yunqing stood up and said, "Have a good rest."
What Wujue heard was: recover quickly and take over this mess as soon as possible.
*
Jiang Lingxi was a little dazed the moment she opened her eyes.
She felt that she should have slept for a long time, but the curtains in the room were still closed at this moment, and she couldn't tell whether it was bright or not outside.
She turned over again and saw that the bed next to her was neat and tidy, and compared to her side, it looked like a doghouse.
Shen Yunqing is already up. How long have you been up?
She was so asleep that she didn't hear any sound!
Taking advantage of the absence of people at the moment, Jiang Lingxi used her elbow to push open the wall lamp on the side. Then she put one hand on the table, pulled down her gloves with her elbow, took a deep breath and looked over.
The black vein-like lines still stay a little above the wrist, similar to what I saw yesterday.
It should be that the series of measures taken yesterday to keep warm were in place and did not continue to spread upwards.
She breathed a sigh of relief, and just as she pulled up her gloves, she heard the door click open from the outside.
As soon as Shen Yunqing entered the door, he saw someone sitting next to the bed, "Wake up."
“What time is it? I feel like I’m a little hungry after sleeping for a long time.”
Shen Yunqing paused, "It's past eleven now."
Jiang Lingxi almost thought she heard wrongly, "What time is it?"
“It’s almost noon.”
Jiang Lingxi calculated silently.
She went to bed around eight o'clock last night, and slept until about eleven o'clock at noon, which was almost fifteen hours.
What a pig, she actually slept for such a long time!
