After I was reborn, I was ruined, and the gods actually knelt down on the spot.

Chapter 67
Before Shen Yuexi could finish her words, Captain Zhou's men secretly tapped her mute point, leaving her speechless.

Shen Yuexi opened her mouth and found that she suddenly lost her voice. She was so panicked that she could only utter meaningless syllables.

She panicked and wanted to signal to the emperor with her eyes that the real culprit was Taiwei Zhou.

However, the emperor did not look at her, and his cold and deep eyes fell on Shen Yubai full of scrutiny.

"Your Majesty, please tell me what happened."

Shen Yubai heard that the prince had disappeared in the past two days, and he also tried his best to help find his whereabouts. He didn't understand why he suddenly became the person who kidnapped the prince.

The emperor was silent, his gaze falling in the direction of the dungeon.

If the whereabouts of the prince were really discovered in the prime minister's house, Shen Yubai would definitely not be able to keep him.

"Back to the emperor, we found the prince in the water prison!"

A guard commander hurried forward to report. Behind him were several men, who carefully brought the prince out of the prison.

"how is this possible--"

When Shen Yubai saw the prince, his face was filled with panic.

He was clearly investigating the prince's whereabouts everywhere, but there were no clues at all. How could he appear in the Prime Minister's Mansion?
He suddenly saw Captain Zhou beside the emperor, and saw a proud smile shining in his eyes.

Shen Yubai immediately understood the cause and effect of the whole incident.

He's been tricked!

The person who plotted against him was none other than Captain Zhou, who had always been friends with him in the past. He really knew people and faces but not their hearts!

But Shen Yubai knew very well that even if he knew who was behind the scenes and could not provide evidence to convict Zhou Taiwei, the emperor would never believe his words.

The accompanying imperial physician stepped forward to diagnose the prince.

The imperial doctor was also Zhou Taiwei's accomplice, and he described the prince's injury as very serious.

The emperor was so angry that his orifices were filled with smoke, and he shouted angrily: "Shen Yubai conspired to murder the prince, and he deserves to be punished. He will be thrown into the sky prison, and he will be executed on another day!"

"Your Majesty, I am wronged!"

All Shen Yubai's words were regarded as sophistry by the emperor, and he was quickly imprisoned in prison.

The emperor's people left the Prime Minister's Mansion with the prince in a grand manner, and Zhou Taiwei was granted the title of prime minister for his meritorious service in finding the prince the next day.

The Prime Minister's Mansion has a new owner.

Taiwei Zhou was dissatisfied with the low-key and simple decoration of the palace, so he made a lot of renovations. It soon became magnificent and luxurious everywhere.

As a great contributor to Captain Zhou, Shen Yuerong couldn't wait to find him after he was promoted to prime minister.

"Master Prime Minister, you are in a high position now, so you must not forget what I did for you. If it weren't for me, how could you have framed Shen Yubai so easily."

Shen Yuerong completely ignored Shen Yubai who was imprisoned in the prison and proudly claimed credit in front of the new prime minister.

Prime Minister Zhou did not treat Shen Yuerong badly. He stroked his beard, flicked his sleeves, and laughed, saying that he would accept Shen Yuerong as his adopted daughter.

Shen Yuerong felt a little dissatisfied at first, but when she heard that she could enjoy all the glory and wealth, she immediately nodded and accepted the proposal.

Externally, Prime Minister Zhou said that Shen Yuerong did not join forces with Shen Yubai, but instead helped him find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by killing relatives out of justice.

Those who originally had objections no longer had any objections, and nodded and bowed to please.

There was just one thing that made Prime Minister Zhou quite uneasy.

Shen Yuexi, who was supposed to be captured together that day, mysteriously disappeared and escaped at the critical moment.

This dead girl is also someone who knows the truth. This fish slipped through the net and escaped. If some evidence is really found, then the glory and wealth he finally got will be destroyed in the hands of this girl!
Shen Yuerong didn't know what Zhou Taiwei was worried about.

She has also been thinking about the treasure house behind the forbidden area.

There were many snakes in the cave at that time, and she didn't dare to go in rashly.

The fire last time burned down the forbidden area all at once. Those snakes must either die or escape.Now she can find those treasures with peace of mind!
It's all hers!

Not to mention how happy Shen Yuerong was smiling. Compared with Shen Yubai who was tortured in the prison, she was celebrating some kind of festive holiday.

the other side.

Shen Yuexi hid in a temporarily safe place to prevent being found by Prime Minister Zhou's people.

Her ability to escape this time seemed to be related to the Gu worm in her body.

But Shen Yuexi didn't know what the specific situation was.

She guessed that there might be help from the wizard behind it.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuexi couldn't help but cheer up. With the help of the wizard, he might be able to rescue his eldest brother...

Otherwise, she could do nothing by herself.

Shen Yuexi arrived at the place where she had met the wizard before, but found no trace of him.

She had no choice but to sneak into the forbidden area in the back mountain, where she could stay temporarily.

When they arrived at the forbidden area, Shen Yuexi unexpectedly saw Shen Yuerong dying in the cave.

Although she was surprised, Shen Yuexi quickly stepped forward and walked to Shen Yuerong's side, "What's wrong with you?"

Shen Yuerong's breath was uneven, her lips were purple, and her face was pale, which were symptoms of poisoning.

Looking down, Shen Yuexi saw an obvious tooth mark on her exposed wrist.

It was bitten by a snake.

"help me……"

Shen Yuerong was dying and asked for help.

After entering the forbidden area, she thought that all the poisonous snakes were almost burned to death, but who knew, there were still some fish that slipped through the net.

These poisonous snakes that survived were no different from the messengers of revenge coming back from hell. They surrounded Shen Yuerong, the culprit, and poisoned her, causing her to die in pain.

Shen Yuexi remembered that she was soft-hearted and did not kill Shen Yuerong with a dagger. Now that there was an opportunity in front of her, she could just leave regardless of Shen Yuerong's life or death.

But... now that he is isolated and helpless, if he can persuade Shen Yuerong to help, will Shen Yubai have a chance of survival?

"I can save you again, but you have to agree to a request."

Shen Yuerong was still a little conscious. She nodded eagerly when she heard this and said weakly: "I promise you, you will find a way to save me quickly!"

Shen Yuexi sucked out the snake venom for Shen Yuerong and found detoxifying herbs to apply on her.

"You'll be fine soon."

While Shen Yuerong was awake, Shen Yuexi made her request, "Yuerong, you can't make the same mistake again and again. This time you help me rescue my eldest brother, expose the real murderer, and wipe out the past."

This time Shen Yuexi's attitude was tough, no longer compromising and soft-hearted towards Shen Yuerong in the past.

Shen Yuerong was startled by Shen Yuexi's posture, and her heart was filled with resentment.

Those snakes might have been ordered by Shen Yuexi to bite her. Otherwise, why didn't they bite Shen Yuexi before? !

But Shen Yuerong was afraid that those poisonous snakes would come back, so she had to pretend to cooperate: "I understand."

Shen Yuexi asked her to find a way to confess Prime Minister Zhou in front of the emperor.

Shen Yuerong agreed wholeheartedly.

As soon as she turned to the emperor, she immediately changed her mind.
