Chapter 981 A Strange Nightmare
"You mean Wu Yue'er was married to Prince Kang, but she's pregnant with Prince Liang's child?"
Wu Shengze's expression was strange. He knew that Wu Yue'er had always been willful and reckless, and had caused a lot of trouble in the Qi Yue Dynasty in the past.
He had always disliked Wu Yue'er. Back when he first returned to the Qi Yue royal family, Wu Yue'er mocked him, acting superior and looking down on him, saying he looked like a beggar.
He still remembers that scene clearly.
If it weren't for Wu Yue'er's mother, his mother wouldn't have died, and so many people around him wouldn't have died!
He struggled to survive, barely managing to return home, only to be mocked by Wu Yue'er with such arrogance.
Now that he has come to the Chu You Dynasty, Wu Yue'er actually wants to ask him for help, which is ridiculous!
Changping nodded. "You may not know this, but in fact, she shot herself in the foot."
She originally planned to plot against the Crown Princess, drugging her and causing Prince Liang to ruin her reputation.
However, the Crown Princess was clever; after sensing something was wrong, she secretly switched the cups, so Wu Yue'er reaped what she sowed.
When this happened, she was also shocked. Anyone who wasn't mentally ill wouldn't dare to do something so audacious.
Wu Shengze was slightly surprised, "There's actually such a thing?"
"However, when I last met the Crown Princess, I did think she was a clever and intelligent woman, and a perfect match for the Crown Prince."
"If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have seen you during my trip to Chu You Imperial City."
Changping smiled slightly and replied, "Yes, she is my savior."
The Crown Princess played a crucial role in the Crown Prince's swift ascension to the throne; I think she's like a legend, incomparable to ordinary people.
At this point, Changping suddenly said, "By the way, the Imperial Physician of Nightmare can't see the problem, but the Crown Princess might be able to."
"How about... we try asking the Crown Princess for help?"
Looking at Taiping before him, and seeing how much she trusted the Crown Princess, Wu Shengze agreed.
“Then I will have some gifts prepared, and we will go to the Chu King’s residence together.”
……
Prince Chu's Mansion.
After hearing Wu Yue'er's commotion, Song Ruozhen and her three friends, who were just watching the drama unfold, pondered and waited for the palace's reaction.
Unexpectedly, they learned that Changping and Wu Shengze had arrived.
"Changping, what brings you all here to visit the Chu Prince's residence today?"
When Gu Huan'er saw Chang Ping, she smiled and waved, "What a coincidence, we're here today too."
When Changping saw Gu Huan'er and the Prince of Yun there, he was initially surprised, but then he remembered that the Prince of Chu and the Prince of Yun were brothers and had a very good relationship, so he was not surprised at all.
"I apologize for the intrusion and for disturbing you."
Wu Shengze handed over the prepared gift, saying, "It's just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you two won't find it offensive."
Upon closer inspection, Song Ruozhen realized that these were all unique items from the Qi Yue Dynasty, and they looked quite special. She immediately smiled and said:
"Your Highness is too kind. We are friends. We are happy that you came to visit us. There is really no need to prepare gifts."
Chu Junting looked Wu Shengze up and down and noticed that his face was indeed much paler than when he had seen him before. His whole face looked tired, and the dark circles under his eyes were hard to ignore.
Changping noticed Chu Junting's expression and knew she had been seen through. She cut to the chase:
"To be honest, we came here today to ask the Crown Princess to take a look at Shengze's illness."
Song Ruozhen remembered that Wu Yue'er was also suffering from nightmares, which meant that Wu Shengze and Wu Yue'er were both affected at the same time. She was also curious about what was going on.
"Sit down and talk slowly," Chu Junting said.
After sitting down, Wu Shengze recounted everything that had happened.
"Originally, I didn't plan to see Wu Yue'er, but she kept trying to find a way to see me. Later, I thought it was too much trouble, so I decided to meet her."
She arranged to meet me on a mountain. It was the dead of night and extremely quiet. I saw that she looked travel-worn and somewhat disheveled; she must have gone to great lengths to sneak out.
"She begged me for help, saying she hoped I would take her back to the Qi Yue Dynasty, but I naturally ignored her."
Actually, I didn't find anything wrong with the meeting from beginning to end. She got really angry after I rejected her and said a lot of nasty things. I thought she looked like a madwoman; it's clear that life is driving her crazy.
When Wu Shengze spoke of Wu Yue'er, his eyes were filled with disgust; he had always disliked Wu Yue'er.
Today, after learning that she had done these outrageous things, my disgust for her reached its peak. As a princess, she had managed to debase herself to such a low level.
"However, ever since that meeting, I have been dreaming of all kinds of venomous snakes. I am constantly being chased by venomous snakes."
"The moment I close my eyes, I see venomous snakes. The most terrifying one is a king snake that keeps staring at me, waking me from my dreams."
Wu Shengze frowned. He broke out in a cold sweat when he thought of the scene in his dream. He felt a chill run down his spine, especially the lifelike snake king, which seemed to be real.
He had never seen them before and never believed in such things, so he couldn't understand why he would dream about them.
Moreover, having a dream once might be a coincidence, but having the same dream repeatedly cannot be explained by mere chance.
"The Snake King?"
When Song Ruozhen heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she asked:
“Tell me in detail what the snake king looked like. I feel that this is not a normal dream, but rather an accidental visit to the snake pit.”
Although this situation is rare, Song Ruozhen was aware of it and it wasn't unexpected.
Wu Shengze described the appearance of the snake king in great detail, describing every detail of its appearance in great detail, especially the snake king's appearance when it was angry, and the way it flicked its tongue was very vivid.
Gu Huan'er subconsciously shrank her neck. "Why does this sound so creepy?"
Changping's expression wasn't much better. These were the things they feared most in their daily lives. Just thinking about them was terrifying, let alone seeing them in their dreams. No wonder Wu Shengze couldn't sleep.
"Anyone who sees this scene would feel creeped out."
Chu Yungui spoke subconsciously, but after saying this, his gaze involuntarily turned to Chu Junting, as his third brother might be an exception.
After all, given the Emperor's temperament, he might just kill the Snake King outright.
"Which mountain did you go to that day? Think carefully, did you encounter any snakes on the way there?" Song Ruozhen asked.
Wu Shengze thought about it carefully and said, "I did see two snakes when I came back that day, but they were just two small snakes. I didn't pay any attention to them and killed them without thinking."
However, after returning home, I started having nightmares. I can't possibly have nightmares because I feel guilty about killing two snakes.
