Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

Chapter 982 Leave it to me!

Wu Shengze has seen countless amounts of blood over the years. Let alone killing two snakes, even killing people, he has long since lost all feeling except for the panic and fear he felt the first time he killed someone.

However, this time, after killing only two snakes, he was plagued by nightmares, which was really strange.

However, he didn't take this matter to heart at all, nor did he mention it to anyone. Unexpectedly, the Crown Princess directly asked him if he had seen a snake. Could there be a connection between the two?

"Sister-in-law, how do you know he's seen a snake?"

Gu Huan'er spoke subconsciously, then immediately thought of the Legend of the White Snake, which was popular all over the city, and an idea popped into her head.

"Could it be that the snake, like the White Snake, cultivated itself into a spirit, only to be killed by Wu Shengze, and now it's come to claim my life?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yungui and Taiping's expressions turned strange.

The story of the White Snake is known to everyone in the capital. The tale of the White Snake becoming a spirit to repay a debt of gratitude is something that everyone finds amazing and has always been loved.

They never expected to encounter such a situation in real life, except this time the snake spirit didn't come to repay a debt of gratitude, but to take their lives!

Only Wu Shengze was completely confused, not knowing what they were talking about.

"What white snake? I killed a green snake and a flower snake," Wu Shengze said.

Upon hearing the name "Green Snake," Gu Huan'er's eyes widened immediately. She exclaimed, "Green Snake is White Snake's sister! You actually killed Little Green Snake, so of course we'll have to seek revenge!"

Gu Huan'er, who was initially terrified, completely forgot her fear at this moment, her mind filled only with the excitement of her story coming to life.

"Oh my god! It matches! It matches perfectly!"

"When I first heard the story of the White Snake, I felt it was more like reality than fiction. I never imagined it would all be true!"

Gu Huan'er looked annoyed. "Wu Shengze, why did you kill Xiaoqing?!"

Wu Shengze: "???"

He turned to look at Changping, intending to express his innocence, but unexpectedly Changping also frowned, looking somewhat depressed.

She also loved the White Snake and Xiaoqing. The White Snake was already pitiful enough being imprisoned under Leifeng Pagoda, while Xiaoqing was still waiting for her outside.

Now look what's happened, Xiaoqing has been killed by Wu Shengze!

"Changping, I don't know anything about Xiaoqing, I just did it on a whim..."

Wu Shengze subconsciously tried to explain, but after noticing Changping's increasingly complicated expression, he instinctively shut his mouth.

After listening to Gu Huan'er's exaggerated and dramatic explanations, Song Ruozhen managed to piece together the whole story and guessed the outcome.

Seeing that Changping also believed it, he found it even more amusing. It seemed that the charm of the Legend of the White Snake was indeed extraordinary, and ordinary people simply could not escape it.

"Huan'er, it's not what you think."

Song Ruozhen interrupted Gu Huan'er's thoughts.

Gu Huan'er was taken aback. "It's not what I thought? Why?"

“Because Xiaoqing wasn’t killed, didn’t the White Snake reunite with her after leaving Leifeng Pagoda?” Song Ruozhen chuckled.

"So Wu Shengze killed another Little Green?" Gu Huan'er asked.

Song Ruozhen nodded, looked at Wu Shengze carefully, and said, "You have the mark left by the Snake King on your body. You accidentally trespassed into its territory and killed its offspring, which is why you have nightmares every night."

Wu Shengze looked astonished, even somewhat incredulous, "I only killed two snakes, how could there be such serious consequences?"

"Think about it carefully, wasn't the ground you were standing on particularly soft?"

After seeing the mark on Wu Shengze's body, Song Ruozhen understood that this snake was indeed not simple!

Wu Shengze nodded, "We came to a very remote place, and the ground was indeed unusually soft."

I felt something was off when I stepped on it, because I was worried that Wu Yue'er might have set an ambush, so I even suspected that there was a trap underneath.

However, seeing that she had also stepped onto the platform, and given her condition at the time, she didn't seem capable of attacking me, so I didn't take it seriously.

“That’s the snake’s den,” Song Ruozhen said.

Changping immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "So, it wasn't Wu Yue'er who did it; she just accidentally wandered into the snake's den, which led to this result, right?"

Song Ruozhen nodded, "That's right."

Changping always believed that Wu Yue'er was behind it, after all, they had witnessed the woman's methods before, which were not ordinary in their malice.

However, after realizing what was happening, she asked, "What should we do now? He's been having nightmares for several days in a row, and his condition hasn't improved at all. Does the Crown Princess have any way to help him?"

At this moment, Wu Shengze felt only curiosity and admiration.

"Your Highness, I have been unable to rest at night for the past few days and have been greatly troubled by it. If there is any way, I will do my best to find it, no matter what it may be."

Song Ruozhen raised an eyebrow. "You have disturbed the Snake King, which is indeed a troublesome matter. I can help you resolve it."

As for the thank-you gift, just treat Changping well!

Upon hearing this, both Wu Shengze and Chang Ping breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there was a solution, that was the best outcome.

“How can that be? You helped him, not me, so you can’t use my feelings to influence things.”

Changping quickly spoke up. She knew that the Crown Princess treated her very well. Since the incident, the greatest kindness she had felt came from the Crown Princess, which gave her originally fragile heart hope again.

Now that she's pregnant, and she's still helping me like this, how can I not accept any thanks?

Wu Shengze nodded, "Changping is right, I must repay this kindness."

Song Ruozhen and Chu Junting exchanged a glance before she said, "I've heard that your dynasty also has books on metaphysics. I'm currently very interested in these things, and if you have them, I'd like to take a look."

“No problem, I have indeed seen it before, but the contents are too mysterious for me to understand. I will have someone find it immediately.”

Wu Shengze knew that Song Ruozhen said this because of Changping, so he only wanted these worthless things.

Only he, having experienced the nightmare, knew just how powerful it was. He couldn't sleep at night at all. Although he seemed fine on the surface, he was actually dizzy, disoriented, and indescribably uncomfortable.

Wanting to sleep but unable to, it might be bearable for a few days, but if it continues like this, even the strongest body can't take it.

The next moment, Song Ruozhen took out a talisman paper and casually wrote a talisman with cinnabar.

Everyone looked at the casually drawn talisman, which seemed to be drawn carelessly, but after it was finished, they found that the runes on it looked very mysterious and special.

"Sister-in-law, is this all you need?" Gu Huan'er couldn't help but ask.

This kind of thing would be a huge problem for anyone, but it just happened to my sister-in-law, and she treated it like she could just dust it off.
