Chapter 95: Concealing the Facts (6)
When Zhou Yan returned to the Prince Jing's Mansion after a long absence, he went to the study, leaned back in the chair tiredly, and in front of him was Zuo Yu.
"…Prince?"
Zhou Yan hadn't said a word since coming out of Zhaoren Mansion, but everyone knew that Zhou Yan was in a bad mood, so no one dared to ask him. Zuo Yu just followed Zhou Yan as usual, until they came to the study and saw Zhou Yan's tired face. He couldn't help but speak. It was understandable that Zhou Yan didn't answer, so Zuo Yu had to wait by the side.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Yan, who was leaning on the back of the chair, sat up, supported his elbows on the table, crossed his fingers and rested his chin, and spoke slowly with a tired look: "What is the latest situation with King Zhao?"
“The situation has not changed.”
Zuo Yu answered the question that made Zhou Yan feel heavy-hearted with just four short words. Of course, his answer did not surprise Zhou Yan.
"So what are the possibilities, in your opinion?"
"This... in that situation, I'm afraid the possibility is almost zero."
Although he was a little surprised by Zhou Yan's sudden question, Zuo Yu still answered it carefully.
"Got it. Let's go down."
"yes."
After getting the answer, Zhou Yan asked Zuo Yu to leave and left him alone to continue thinking. After a while, he changed from holding his chin to resting his forehead on his ten fingers, so that no one could see his expression.
at night.
Yinyin in the room hadn't gone to bed yet. She sat on the bed, staring out the window, her eyes unsure where to look. Lei'er had just finished making the bed and walked softly to Yinyin's side...
"Miss?"
"Um?"
Lei'er called out softly, and Yinyin responded, turning around to look at Lei'er.
"The bed is already made, do you want to rest now?"
"Oh, I see. I'm not sleepy yet. Wait a minute. You should go to bed early. It's getting late."
"Okay, I understand. Then Miss, go to bed early. Lei'er is leaving."
"Well, go ahead."
Lei'er was already used to Yinyin's habit, so she couldn't say anything and could only leave silently. After watching Lei'er leave the room, Yinyin looked out the window again, still not knowing where to look...
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed past Yin Yin's sight.
"Well?"
Yinyin was absent-minded because of her thoughts and was not sure that it was a black shadow. After she came to her senses, she even wondered if she had seen it wrong. Before she could fully come to her senses, a familiar voice sounded. Yinyin immediately turned her head and looked into the room. A familiar voice appeared in front of her...
"Kui!"
Seeing the familiar figure in front of her, Yin Yin stood up from her chair excitedly.
"Um."
Who else could the man dressed in all black be if not Guisha? He responded softly and sat opposite Yinyin. Kui was the name Yinyin had mistakenly replaced for Guisha before. Yinyin felt that the name was too gloomy and gave people a bad impression. After leaving Bishui Yifang, Guisha asked Yinyin to change it. Kui Shao was too rustic, so he had to call himself Kui. After a long time, Guisha felt that the distance between them was shortened a lot, and he was not as indifferent to Yinyin as before.
"Have you finished your work?"
"Um."
Another light response was enough for Yin Yin to answer, and she sat back in her chair. Through the mask, Yin Yin could not see Gui Sha's expression, let alone what he was thinking, even though she had seen Gui Sha's true appearance.
After asking the question, Yinyin felt as if she had no words to say. She knew that Guisha was always like this, so she didn't say anything. She reached out and placed two teacups and began to pour tea...
"...Prince Jing came to see you, right?"
"Um."
While Yin Yin was pouring tea, Gui Sha looked at her thoughtfully. From Yin Yin's expression, Gui Sha was sure that nothing had happened. It wasn't that nothing had really happened. At least the fact that Yin Yin was so calm meant that she didn't know yet. Just when Gui Sha was thinking this, Yin Yin had already brought the cup of tea to him, so Gui Sha used the mask to cover his sight without anyone noticing.
After pouring herself some tea, Yin Yin started drinking it. Gui Sha sometimes really admired Yin Yin's behavior of not asking questions when no one else asked, so after a period of silence...
"Do you believe in King Zhou?"
"Well?"
Being confused by Guisha's sudden words, Yinyin looked at Guisha in confusion. Guisha had taken off the lower half of his mask and was drinking tea. He took a sip and put down the teacup. Yinyin clearly saw Guisha's eyes under the mask staring at her...
"It's not that I doubt him, and he may not have hidden his intentions from you, but he just didn't say it for your own good."
"What...exactly do you want to say?"
For some reason, after hearing what Guisha said, she felt the same uneasiness as when Zhou Cheng came to see her before. She couldn't help but get nervous, and she held the teacup in mid-air.
"You've noticed it, haven't you? It's been a while since the battle between the Zhao army and the Xu army, so there should be a result, but you didn't ask? It's not easy for Prince Zhou and Prince Jing to come, but you didn't ask? Or don't want to ask?"
Guisha keenly noticed the slight panic in Yinyin's expression, so he expressed his guess, which was actually the fact, so when Yinyin heard his words, her body obviously stiffened and her expression was stunned.
After a while, Yin Yin's body trembled slightly, and she looked at Gui Sha with an uneasy look, her eyes were a little anxious and hesitant, or was it fear? She opened her mouth to say something, but couldn't, and her hand holding the teacup was shaking slightly.
"Let me tell you. I believe that the reason why King Zhou came to you before was also because of this, but he may not have said it in the end. Let me make it clear first. I don't know whether he deliberately concealed it or not. You can judge for yourself, so..."
Guisha took a deep breath, as if to prepare himself mentally, and then: "According to reliable information, King Zhao was injured. The cause of the injury is still unclear, but he seems to be seriously injured, so seriously that it can be said that he is almost dead."
(Snap)
As Guisha finished speaking, the teacup in Yinyin's hand fell onto the table, then onto the ground and broke into pieces...
