Ah Qiao likes Ah Zhen, which is not only known to everyone in the Shen family, but even the people on the whole street know it. If Ah Zhen had not died, she would definitely have married Ah Qiao in the future.

Shen Yan'er didn't know if anything had happened between Ah Zhen and Ah Qiao, but after listening to the several ways of infection that Phoenix Ke said, Shen Yan'er subconsciously felt that Ah Zhen was most likely the "drug carrier".

Whether it is a blood-borne infection or a couple's infection, it is the people who are close to each other who are most likely to be infected. The person closest to the Shen family and Ah Qiao is, of course, Ah Zhen.

Ah Zhen was not born in the capital, but came to the capital with her grandfather's wandering arts. After her grandfather died, she was taken in by the Shen family. Thinking of the tiger head gold medal left by Ah Zhen, Shen Yan'er suddenly realized that Ah Zhen had too many secrets. It's a pity that she died too early, and there was no truth left for Shen Yan'er......

"Since you said that the poison of the walking corpse evolves gradually, and that those who are initially bitten by the walking corpse may not all die, then...... Where exactly was it bitten? Shen Yan'er asked.

At least Shen Yan'er herself didn't know about the existence of the walking corpse until she entered the mass grave, and at most she had heard that there were monsters in the mass grave, and she couldn't guess that the so-called "monster" was actually a living person, and it was cruel to feed on people. Whether in the mass grave or in the Snow Palace, the walking corpse is strictly controlled within a very small range. So, how did the original walking corpse appear?

As long as this problem can be solved, maybe Shen Yan'er will be able to guess who is the poisoner. Unfortunately, although Shen Yan'er asked very urgently, staring straight at Feng Feng Ke's face that had been very calm from beginning to end, Feng Feng Ke did not respond to her expectations, but asked a strange question after a long silence.

"In the Shen family restaurant, are there any people from An Li Kingdom?"

Shen Yan'er was stunned by the question all of a sudden, and her eyes were filled with stunned colors in an instant. Suddenly mentioning An Li Guo at such a juncture, Shen Yan'er had a hunch that there must be some connection between the poison of the walking corpse and An Li Guo.

Phoenix Ke stared at Shen Yan'er, who suddenly became nervous, and lowered her eyebrows slightly.

"No, no......" Shen Yan'er didn't dare to hesitate more, and blurted out almost instinctively, but the slightly flustered tone made Feng Feng's brows furrow deeper.

Although Shen Yan'er did not lie, she deliberately concealed important clues.

As far as she knew, the Shen family did not have anyone from An Liguo. However, where Ah Zhen's hometown is, even she, the best friend who grew up with Ah Zhen since childhood, doesn't know at all.

Could it really be Ah Zhen......

Under Phoenix Ke's gaze full of explicit suspicion, Shen Yan'er, who was weak-hearted, subconsciously lowered her head. Countless fragments of Ah Zhen flashed in his chaotic mind, including the first meeting in the restaurant when he was a child, the bits and pieces of growing up together, laughter and tears.

Shen Yan'er never cared about Ah Zhen's background, no matter where she came from, as long as she was Ah Zhen. However, it is such sincere friendship that makes Shen Yan'er regret at the moment. Why, why did I never ask where Ah Zhen's family lived......

Shen Yan'er's silence made even Yu'er see that she was hiding something. "Sister......" Yu'er gently pulled Shen Yan'er's sleeve and raised her little face full of worry.

"I'm fine." Only then did Shen Yan'er, who came back to her senses, pat Yu'er's head.

"The reason why I left Yu'er is because I want to use her as a hostage, and second, because she is the youngest and has not been with the drug carrier for a long time, so she may not be infected." Phoenix Ke also moved his gaze to Yu'er and sighed faintly.

It's okay if he doesn't mention it, but when he mentions Shen Yan'er, he can't help but get angry. "Why did you sue me for this? Why not just play the bad guys to the end? The sharp gaze swept sharply towards Phoenix Ke's plain face, with deep vigilance and suspicion.

Although he only has a few encounters with Phoenix Ke, he has long been characterized as a cold-blooded and cruel demon king in Shen Yan'er's mind. Therefore, it is difficult for Shen Yan'er not to suspect that he has other intentions when Feng Feng Ke uncharacteristically tells so many secrets today.

Phoenix Ke glanced at Shen Yan'er with a deep gaze, his expression was still so indifferent, as if there was nothing in this world that could make him anxious and angry. "I used to think that only 'hate' was the best way to make you obey me......"

He always said things that made Shen Yan'er seem to understand or not, but every sentence could arouse echoes in Shen Yan'er's heart. He was so distant, so unpredictable.

"The path I chose to take was originally to be hated by all the people in the world, so I don't care if there is one more of you. However, I am not afraid at all, because someone understands my heart...... Understand why I did this......"

Speaking of this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Phoenix Ke's mouth, adding a bit of warmth to his indifferent expression. Shen Yan'er didn't know who he was talking about, but Yi Xiangxi's figure suddenly flashed in her mind.

Yi Xiangxi once said that she is a person who can die for Phoenix Ke or live for him. There must be many twists and turns in the story between the two of them.

"I thought I could threaten you with hostages, but after gradually understanding your character, I found that it was better to tell you the truth to gain your trust......" Phoenix Ke looked at Shen Yan'er as if admitting defeat, and after a short pause, her eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Because you are too close to Nanhua, this is the scene I am most unwilling to see and the most afraid to see." Suddenly mentioning King Ning, Phoenix Ke's expression suddenly cooled.

Shen Yan'er couldn't help but shudder, and was frightened by his gaze and took a half step back.

"He colluded with Wei Zhenhai and has always been eyeing the throne. I'm really afraid that you will tell him Su Die's identity and cause Su Die to be killed......"

Shen Yan'er didn't answer, and hurriedly looked away from Phoenix Ke. This is the manifestation of the deficiency of the heart. When she was in the palace, Shen Yan'er really almost wanted to tell the truth.

"Of course, there's a second reason, and that's that I have to know why you survived the walking corpse bite. Because, this is related to the survival of the entire Phoenix Dynasty, as well as the lives of all the people in the world......"

Hearing this, Shen Yan'er's heart thumped suddenly.

Why did the topic suddenly become so heavy?

Phoenix Ke's gaze was strict and serious, and he was by no means deliberately alarmist. But Shen Yan'er kept biting her mouth and refused to speak.
