Emperor Shen's charming wife

Chapter 191 Great Obstacle

The letter mentioned that Shen Yu had ordered the secret execution of a group of innocent officials, and the reason given was to consolidate the imperial power. Ning Yao's hands could not help but tremble slightly. She looked dull, reading the contents of the anonymous letter over and over again. Her heart was like a storm, full of shock and doubt. "This is impossible..." Her lips trembled slightly, and she whispered in a low voice, "Shen Yu is not such a person." But every word in the letter was like a sharp thorn, which made her begin to doubt whether her understanding of Shen Yu was really deep enough. "Yao'er, what's wrong with you?" Shen Yu's concerned voice suddenly came from behind. Ning Yao was startled, and quickly hid the letter behind her, forcing a reluctant smile: "It's okay, I'm just a little tired." Shen Yu frowned, and his deep eyes were full of worry. He walked forward, gently put his arm around Ning Yao's shoulders, and said in a gentle and low voice: "Are you hiding something from me?" Ning Yao shook her head in panic. She took a deep breath and tried to pretend to be calm and said: "It's really okay, don't worry." Shen Yu sighed helplessly. He gently stroked Ning Yao's hair, his tone full of pity: "Okay, if you don't want to say it, I won't force you. But if you have any troubles, you must tell me, I will always be with you." Ning Yao nodded, she leaned in Shen Yu's arms, but her heart was full of entanglement and uneasiness. She knew clearly that she had to return to China as soon as possible to verify the matter. Otherwise, this matter would be like a huge rock, always weighing on her heart, making her unable to rest assured. Before leaving, Ning Yao specially visited the alien leader and the mysterious alien woman. "I'm leaving." She smiled and said softly, "Thank you for taking care of me during this time." The alien leader nodded solemnly. He looked at Ning Yao deeply, his eyes full of reluctance: "You are a brave woman, I hope you have a safe journey." Ning Yao smiled, she turned to look at the mysterious alien woman: "Thank you, you have taken good care of me during this time." The alien woman smiled slightly, she patted Ning Yao's shoulder gently: "Go, go and pursue your truth." Ning Yao nodded, she took a deep breath, turned around and resolutely left the alien camp. On the way back to the country, Ning Yao unexpectedly met the mysterious messenger in the bustling crowd. "Oh, I didn't expect to meet you in such a crowded place." She said with a smile. The mysterious messenger nodded slightly, his eyes locked on Ning Yao, a trace of imperceptible worry flashed quietly in his eyes: "Have you really decided to return to China?" Ning Yao nodded without hesitation, she took a deep breath, pretended to be calm and said: "Yes, I must go back to verify some crucial things." The mysterious messenger sighed, he lowered his voice, and said solemnly: "You must be careful, behind every decision of Shen Yu, there are deep and complicated court struggles involved." Ning Yao frowned and asked in confusion: "What does this mean?" The mysterious messenger shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of indescribable complex emotions: "There are some things that you should not know at this moment." Ning Yao nodded thoughtfully, she took a deep breath, and a smile bloomed on her face again: "Thank you for your reminder, I will be careful." The mysterious messenger nodded, his eyes always stayed on Ning Yao, his eyes were full of worry: "I hope you can return safely." Ning Yao smiled, turned around and left in a hurry. After returning to China, everything seemed to be the same as usual. However, Ning Yao's heart had long been as restless as the surging sea. She quietly investigated the anonymous letter and was surprised to find that it was true. However, the reason behind it was as confusing as a fog. "What is going on?" Ning Yao frowned, her heart filled with endless doubts. She knew that she had to find the truth as soon as possible. Otherwise, she would never be able to find peace in her heart. Eunuch Li keenly caught Ning Yao's strange expression. "My queen, what's wrong with you?" He asked softly with a cautious look on his face. Ning Yao shook her head gently, took a deep breath, and pretended to be calm and said, "It's okay, I'm just a little tired." Eunuch Li sighed and looked at Ning Yao with worry in his eyes: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Your Majesty has been very hard lately, and it's really a helpless move." Ning Yao frowned and asked in confusion: "What does this mean?" Eunuch Li lowered his voice, approached Ning Yao and said: "Your Majesty has to take action recently to consolidate the imperial power. Those officials are all your enemies. They are trying to rebel, so your Majesty has to kill them. "Ning Yao's heart sank suddenly, and she looked at Eunuch Li with shock in her eyes: "Are you serious?" Eunuch Li nodded repeatedly, and said helplessly: "My queen, you must believe His Majesty. Everything he did was for the country and the people." Ning Yao nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and forced a smile and said: "Thank you, Eunuch Li. I know what to do." Eunuch Li nodded, his eyes full of relief: "My queen, you are a smart person, you will understand His Majesty's difficulties." Ning Yao smiled and turned away. However, Eunuch Li's words did not completely eliminate Ning Yao's doubts. She knew that she had to find the truth as soon as possible. Otherwise, she would never have peace in her heart. Shen Yu noticed Ning Yao's alienation from him. "Yao'er, what's wrong with you?" He frowned and asked with concern. Ning Yao shook her head in denial, took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down and said, "It's okay, I'm just a little tired." Shen Yu sighed, walked forward, and gently hugged Ning Yao's shoulders: "Yao'er, are you hiding something from me?" Ning Yao shook her head again and leaned in Shen Yu's arms, but her heart was full of entanglement and anxiety. She knew that she couldn't go on like this. She had to find the truth as soon as possible. Otherwise, she would never be able to rest assured. However, when Shen Yu tried to get closer to her, she subconsciously avoided him. Shen Yu's eyes dimmed instantly, looking at Ning Yao, his eyes full of loss: "Yao'er, are you tired of me?" Ning Yao hurriedly shook her head, took a deep breath, and pretended to be calm and said, "No, I'm just a little tired." Shen Yu sighed and said helplessly, "Okay, then you have a good rest." Ning Yao nodded in response, looking at Shen Yu, her heart full of guilt. She knew that her actions were too much. But she really didn't know what to do. She didn't want to lose Shen Yu. But she didn't want to lose her principles either. She must find the truth as soon as possible. Otherwise, she will never be able to rest assured. Just when the relationship between Ning Yao and Shen Yu was almost at a freezing point, news suddenly came from the country that the border war had broken out again. "Your Majesty, the border war has broken out again, and you must lead the army to fight immediately." Eunuch Li looked anxious and hurried to report. Shen Yu frowned, his eyes full of worry: "I know, you go and prepare." Eunuch Li nodded hurriedly and turned around to prepare for related matters. Ning Yao stood aside, looking at Shen Yu with complicated eyes, her heart intertwined with entanglement and uneasiness. She knew that Shen Yu's trip was extremely dangerous, but at this moment she was at a loss and didn't know what to do. She wanted to tell Shen Yu countless times that she loved him and believed in him, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know how to express it. She could only stand aside silently, watching Shen Yu busy preparing for the expedition. Shen Yu turned to look at Ning Yao, his eyes full of helplessness: "Yao'er, I know you have many questions in your heart. But this is not the time to explain. When I return, I will give you a satisfactory answer." Ning Yao nodded slightly, her eyes full of worry: "Your Majesty, you must be careful." Shen Yu nodded gently, his eyes extremely gentle: "I know, don't worry." Ning Yao nodded again, her eyes full of reluctance. She knew that this separation might be a farewell forever. She didn't dare to think about whether she could see Shen Yu again, whether she could hear his voice again, whether she could feel his warmth again. She could only watch Shen Yu busy with the expedition silently, praying in her heart that he would return safely.
