Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

On the way, Shen Huaixu found a relatively secluded place, put on a black robe, put on a mask, and waited quietly for Fu Yin to come out of the space to pick her up.

Fu Yin came very quickly, and the two of them entered the palace smoothly. Fu Yin said that her identity had been reviewed by the emperor, and she could follow Fu Yin wherever he went in the future.

The more Shen Huaixu listened, the more he felt that this little emperor was a bit strange. How could the little emperor be so capable and not realize the danger of He Yin for so long and still let He Yin continue to stay in the palace?

Unfortunately, she couldn't say this outside, so she had to suppress the doubts in her heart.

Shen Huaixu asked this question after returning to their residence.

Both of them had taken off their masks, and Shen Huaixu could clearly see a hint of confusion in Fu Yin's eyes.

"I don't know either," he said. "I wonder if there is no one to supervise him. The young emperor is very lax and spends all day eating, drinking and having fun. The old men in the court advise him to be diligent in government affairs, but he just pretends not to hear them."

"Then let's discuss what happens next?"

Fu Yin hesitated and said: "I think the young emperor seems to be letting go since the rebels were eliminated. The He family is supporting the court."

Shen Huaixu frowned, "Is he addicted to rebellion? So willful?"

Fu Yin raised his hand and rubbed his brow, his face showing fatigue. "Go and see for yourself. Anyway, it's hard to describe in a few words."

Shen Huaixu, who had never seen Fuyin with such an expression before, couldn't help but become curious about what was going to happen tomorrow.

Shen Huaixu nodded, and then said: "By the way, Fuyin, I want to go to the Princess's Mansion in a few days when my wound is better."

Fuyin didn't ask Shen Huaixu what he was going to do, and just said: "I will accompany you."

She told Fu Yin what happened on the street, and Fu Yin just said, "She's not dead, but her condition is not good."

In the following days, the two of them stayed indoors. When palace maids and eunuchs came to invite them many times, Fu Yin always said he was ill and declined. Later, it became that gifts were sent in from time to time.

Fuyin's injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye due to the transparent potion, but Shen Huaixu healed even more slowly in the end.

In her free time, she wrote another letter home and sent it home. After five or six days, the two of them were fully armed and left the palace.

Fuyin had become very skilled at not letting the patrolling guards in the palace notice him leaving the palace, and the two of them soon arrived on the roof of the eldest princess's mansion.

The master went crazy and became bedridden, and the huge mansion seemed to have become depressed. The Princess's mansion, which used to be brightly lit day and night, was now dimly lit, which gave the two people on the roof an opportunity to take advantage of.

Shen Huaixu looked at Fuyin with burning eyes. Fuyin saw through her thoughts with just one glance and asked in a low voice: "Go to Qiao Man's place first or go to the warehouse first?"

"Qiao Man's place." Shen Huaixu said without thinking.

She wanted to see what Qiao Man brought from her "hometown".

The two of them quickly arrived at where Qiao Man was sleeping under the cover of night.

I don't know whether it was too late or whether the servants were careless in serving. There was no maid in Qiao Man's room. The two entered the room through the window and helped Yin look for something. Shen Huaixu came to Qiao Man's bed to check on her injuries.

Something was applied on Qiao Man's face, body, and arms. Maybe it was to prevent her from moving around, but her limbs were all tied up. At this moment, her head was tilted to one side, and she didn't know whether she was asleep or dizzy.

Since Fu Yin had taken action, there was no way Qiao Man could pretend to be crazy, not to mention that she had blew herself half to death, so Shen Huaixu just took a quick look and walked away.

She walked to Qiao Man's dressing table and quickly scanned the things on the table, finally settling on a faintly shining shell-like object.

He reached out and picked up the shell. It felt cool and smooth, unlike ordinary shells that had a slightly gritty feel. Shen Huaixu exerted a little force with his hand, and the shell opened, revealing a huge pink pearl flickering inside.

"This is a detector. It is very sensitive to some metals. Different metals can flash different lights." Fu Yin walked behind Shen Huaixu without him knowing.

Shen Huaixu raised his eyebrows slightly, "It turns out that this was what Zhenbei Marquis used at that time, and fluorite was also measured using it, right?"

Fuyin nodded, "It's very possible. There should be specific instructions for use. If not, it's okay. Just test it and you'll know."

Shen Huaixu asked in a low voice: "Can it detect gold or silver ores?"

Speaking of this, a pair of eyes are shining. If a gold mine is discovered, wouldn't it be possible to make the country rich and wealthy?

Fu Yin's eyesight was similar to Shen Huaixu's. Even in the dark room, he could still clearly see the dimples on Shen Huaixu's lips due to his unconscious smile. He felt as if his heart was struck by something. "Is it okay?"

Shen Huaixu always used to praise Fu Tuan for being cute, and he felt that Shen Huaixu was no less cute.

Shen Huaixu, who was so focused on thinking about the gold mine, didn't even notice why Fuyin was stuttering. She threw the shell into the space without saying a word, feeling even more energetic.

This was Fuyin giving the things he collected to Shen Huaixu again. He could also put them directly in the space, but he just wanted to take credit.

Shen Huaixu simply glanced at two of them, and without taking time to look at them carefully one by one, he just roughly threw them all into the space.

"We have almost finished searching. If you want to take the remaining valuable items, you can take them."

Shen Huaixu, with his heart swelling, picked and chose and took some. When the two of them walked to the window and were about to leave, they suddenly heard footsteps approaching from the door. The two looked at each other and quickly hid behind a curtain not far from them.

The door creaked open, and the dim skylight vaguely printed a slender figure on the ground.

The person who came was wearing a cloak, and the upper half of his face was covered, leaving only his small chin exposed.

She stood at the door for a moment before walking towards the bed.

Shen Huaixu secretly counted her steps. After the footsteps stopped, she heard a woman's voice.

"Princess...Princess..." Her voice was trembling abnormally, and it was hard to tell whether it was because of sadness or excitement. She sighed, "Wei Nishang, ah Wei Nishang..."

Then his tone suddenly changed, and he accused her with a choked voice, as if every word was full of tears: "I never thought that you would have this day! Wei Nishang, you've made me suffer so much——!"

"I assisted you wholeheartedly and did everything you said, but how did you treat me? You knew there was something strange about that village, but you made me stay there for so long, turning me into neither a human nor a ghost - you are so cruel!"

"How do you feel about being blown up like this by this thing you asked me to dig out for you?"

"I know you don't like my appearance. You think I stole your limelight as soon as I showed up. Look at you now, you are still no match for me..." She chuckled, looking particularly scary under such circumstances. .

"Your current fate is retribution. Even if you die, I will not let you go!"

……

The woman whispered in front of the bed for a long time, and Shen Huaixu felt that the woman's psychology was extremely distorted.

At first she was still wondering who this person was, but later she guessed that the person in front of her was the witch Li. No wonder she felt that this miko was too low-key, she had not seen her for so long.

Now that I think about it, she must be the woman in black who was sent to Lingling Village by Qiao Man. She was deeply harmed by the glowstone, which is why she turned into such a vicious look.
