Shen Yu was thinking about something and didn't notice that the Minister of Justice had left under Shang Junlin's signal. He also didn't notice that Shang Junlin had walked to his side.
"What is A Yu thinking about?" Shang Junlin looked at Shen Yu, who had fallen into silence after listening to the Minister of Justice's words, and his expression was unclear.
"I'm thinking about what the Minister of Justice said. Is Prince Yue pretending to be crazy or acting dumb?" Shen Yu came back from his thoughts.
Shang Junlin: "A Yu thinks he's pretending?"
Shen Yu: "What else could it be? Your Majesty once locked him up in the dark prison for so long, but nothing happened to him. How could he go crazy after just a few days in the Ministry of Justice's prison? "
Shang Junlin: "A Yu's words make sense."
Shen Yu: "Whether he's really crazy or not, we'll know when we see him."
Shang Junlin fell silent and looked at Shen Yu without saying anything.
"Your Majesty, why are you looking at me?" Shen Yu opened his eyes wide with an innocent look on his face.
Shang Junlin raised his hand to cover his eyes and said with an inexplicable emotion: "So, A Yu wants to see Prince Yue?"
"I'm a little concerned about his dream," Shen Yu didn't deny it, "I want to know what's going on."
"I remember that A Yu also had a dream before. When he woke up and saw me, he was very scared. What did A Yu dream about that day?" Shang Junlin couldn't forget this matter because the emotions that appeared in Shen Yu's eyes that day were something he had never seen before.
A person's eyes couldn't lie. If he was really afraid of someone, no matter how well he pretended, there would still be clues in his eyes. He was sure that Shen Yu wasn't afraid of him. When they first met, Shen Yu didn't show any fear in his eyes. Later, when they met day and night for a long time, he didn't see any fear in Shen Yu's eyes.
No matter how good a person was at disguising himself, it was impossible for him to not leave behind any flaws for a long time.
"I had a bad dream. I didn't see His Majesty in the dream, so I woke up in fright." To be honest, that dream didn't have much to do with the previous life. Rather than saying that it was related to the previous life, it was better to say that Shen Yu was afraid that he would follow in the same footsteps in this life.
Shang Junlin didn't care about Prince Yue, but if this matter was related to Shen Yu, he couldn't ignore it.
Hence, he instructed the Hidden Dragon Guards to get information about the dream from King Yue no matter what method they used.
Perhaps he dreamt of what he thought about during the day. That night, Shen Yu dreamt of something related to his previous life.
The flames of war swirled in the air as the sounds of killing shook the heavens. He was protected in someone's arms as they passed through the rain of blades and swords.
At first, he thought that the person protecting him was Gu Huai from his previous life. Later on, he realized that it was wrong. The time and place were not right. He had never had such close contact with Gu Huai before.
The two of them only had a cooperative relationship. Other than the necessary interactions, Gu Huai rarely took the initiative to talk to him. However, the man in his dream was different. His mouth opened and closed as if he was talking non-stop.
Shen Yu wanted to hear him clearly, but it was as if there was a layer of cover. No matter how anxious he was, he couldn't hear him.
The weather was very cold. It seemed like it was snowing. He curled up in the man's arms and absorbed the only warmth he could.
In the darkness, Shen Yu suddenly opened his eyes.
His waist was restrained and his back was leaning against a heat source. The warmth kept coming. It was exactly the same as the feeling in his dream.
Shen Yu smiled silently. No wonder he had such a dream.
In the dream, they were in a world of ice and snow, isolated and helpless. Outside the dream, they were hugging each other and sleeping in a warm palace.
It was so nice.
Shen Yu turned around and sniffed the man's scent that made him feel at ease. He slowly closed his eyes.
The arm around his waist pulled him closer to his chest.
When they woke up the next day, it was drizzling outside.
The spring rain continued, and the plants grew new branches and leaves. They were verdant and lush, and the grass by the roadside bloomed with white flowers. Shen Yu held an umbrella in one hand and strolled in the rain.
"The orchids that Young Master planted have bloomed. Do you want to go and take a look?" Mu Xi followed behind him and whispered.
Shen Yu turned around. "I saw that there were no buds two days ago, and now they're blooming?"
"Yes, several of them have bloomed. The aunt in charge of taking care of the flowers and plants told me this morning." Mu Xi knew that her young master liked to grow flowers, so she deliberately mentioned it.
"Alright, let's go and take a look."
The flower house was not far from where they were, and they arrived after walking for about a quarter of an hour.
Instead of calling it a flower house, it was more appropriate to call it a flower hall. Most of the flowers inside were sent by Shang Junlin. Shen Yu grew flowers as a hobby. He did not care whether the flowers were expensive or not. The flowers sent by Shang Junlin were the same. He sent all the suitable ones that he thought Shen Yu would like.
"It's really strange. The flower sent by Prince An has bloomed for almost half a year, but there are no signs of it withering." The flower was in a conspicuous position. Mu Xi saw it as soon as she came in.
Shen Yu looked up. "It's blooming beautifully."
As if it understood Shen Yu's praise, the flower swayed gently.
Shen Yu looked around and saw the flower that Mu Xi was talking about. He walked over.
"When the flower was sent by His Majesty, it was withered. Look, young master, it's full of vitality now."
The flowers in the flower house were carefully taken care of. Not to mention that Shen Yu personally took care of them, but the fact that these flowers belonged to Shen Yu made the palace servants dare not be careless.
Now, everyone in the palace knew how much His Majesty was favored. Serving His Majesty well would have a better future than serving in other places.
Shen Yu walked around the flower house and asked, "What's the situation outside the palace?"
Mu Xi, "Everything in the Marquis' Mansion is as usual. Duke Zhenbei and his confidants have secret talks in the study room every day. Ying Huo's people found a way to sneak in and found that they were talking about how to get Duke Zhenbei back to work in the imperial court."
Shen Yu, "Duke Zhenbei has always valued the development of the Marquis' Mansion. Now that he has been stripped of his position and Shen Qingran can't be relied on, he has to find a way to return to the imperial court."
Mu Xi, "Those confidants of Duke Zhenbei seem to want Duke Zhenbei to come to you for help. They said that with His Majesty's favor, as long as you are willing to speak, the predicament of the Duke Zhenbei's Mansion can be easily solved. Not only the Duke Zhenbei's Mansion, but other officials also said so."
After Duke Zhenbei lost power, not everyone drew a clear line with him at the first time. Some people thought that no matter what, Duke Zhenbei was Shen Yu's biological father. Shen Yu couldn't leave him alone. What's more, if His Majesty really thought about His Majesty, he wouldn't let the Duke Zhenbei's Mansion decline like this.
So in the beginning, several aristocratic families who wanted to marry Duke Zhenbei's Mansion didn't give up the idea because of this matter. It was only after Shen Yu passed down the news that these families stopped.
Shen Yu, "They are indeed right. His Majesty originally wanted to vent his anger. After this anger is vented, won't he restore Duke Zhenbei's position?"
"Then … Young Master, will Duke Zhenbei's position really be restored?" Mu Xi didn't want Duke Zhenbei to enjoy the convenience brought by His Majesty at all.
"I can't control the affairs of the imperial court. Whether Duke Zhenbei can be restored to his original position or not, only His Majesty knows."
Speaking of this matter, Shen Yu was also very curious about how Shang Junlin would deal with it.
If it was a big mistake, Duke Zhenbei didn't commit much. The matter of adoption was only mentioned verbally but not implemented. Of course, Shen Yu wouldn't give him a chance to implement it.
"How is Concubine Ru?" Shen Yu felt that he hadn't heard any news about this person for a long time.
"She lives in seclusion. It seems that she is completely disappointed with Duke Zhenbei. Why do you suddenly ask about her?" Mu Xi was puzzled.
"If I remember correctly, when Concubine Ru came to the Duke Zhenbei's Mansion, my mother was still there. Ask 'Ying Huo' to go there and see if she can find out something about my mother."
"Yes."
At the beginning of his rebirth, Shen Yu just wanted to know the identity of the woman who gave birth to him. With the development of various things, he found that there were many secrets behind this matter. About the assassination when he was young, the framing at the New Year's banquet … If he didn't investigate clearly, no one knew what would happen one day in the future.
Shen Yu didn't like to be in a passive state.
Knowing that someone wanted to kill him and hurt Shang Junlin, he couldn't be indifferent. In any case, he had to find out the truth of the matter and find out the person who wanted to kill him.
There was also Zhu Wang. He had to think of a way to pry open his mouth.
Shen Yu had a group of Hidden Dragon Guards. It was given to him by Shang Junlin. He didn't hide the matter of investigating Zhu Wang from Shang Junlin, so he didn't use the power of 'Ying Huo'. Instead, he let the Hidden Dragon Guards handle it.
He knew that after he gave the order, Shang Junlin would know about it. So, he took the initiative to mention this matter to Shang Junlin.
"Your Majesty, I want to investigate Zhu Wang's past. Maybe I can find some useful clues."
They had too few clues. Shen Yu knew that it would be difficult to investigate this matter. However, if he didn't find out the truth, he and Shang Junlin could only be in a passive state. This was something that he couldn't tolerate.
"A Yu, just do whatever you want to do. You don't have to inform me. I gave you the Hidden Dragon Guards. You have the right to order them around."
"I want to ask for Your Majesty's help. I want to investigate all of Zhu Wang's past. However, it might not be easy to do so."
Zhu Wang was locked up in the secret prison. For a long time, no one cared about him. The endless loneliness was the most torturous. He didn't talk to anyone for a long time. This made him want to talk to anyone he saw.
Even if he was interrogated, he was willing to do so.
After Shang Junlin heard about the dream realm from the Hidden Dragon Guards, he was silent for a long time. For some reason, he didn't tell Shen Yu immediately.
Shen Yu was still concerned about King Yue's dream realm. He told Shang Junlin that he wanted to meet King Yue.
"He's about to die. Does A Yu want to meet him?" Shang Junlin caressed Shen Yu's face. His eyes were dark and gloomy.
"Has the Ministry of Justice decided on the time of his execution?" Shen Yu was stunned.
In the end, Shang Junlin brought Shen Yu to the Ministry of Justice's prison.
Shang Junlin's behavior was a little abnormal. Shen Yu thought that he was jealous of King Yue. He didn't think too much about it. He wanted to know what happened to King Yue as soon as possible.
King Yue was getting more and more confused. When he saw Shen Yu and Shang Junlin, the first thing he said was, "Aren't you dead?"
It was hard not to suspect that he did it on purpose.
Shen Yu tilted his head and looked at Shang Junlin. The man's face was calm. He didn't seem affected by King Yue's words.
"Your Highness, can you recognize me?" Shen Yu lowered his voice. It was similar to the tone he used in his previous life.
"A Yu?" King Yue turned his head and looked at him.
When the same title came out of King Yue's mouth, he felt disgusted.
Shen Yu's eyes flashed with disgust. He felt the arm around his waist tighten. Shen Yu tilted his head and said, "Your Highness, I want to talk to him. Just one sentence."
Although Shang Junlin was dissatisfied, he didn't refuse.
Shen Yu walked in front of King Yue and squatted down. He said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Your Highness, how does it feel to have a sword pierced through your heart?"
King Yue's blank expression was replaced by fear, "No — —"
King Yue died on the eve of his ascension. That was his real ending in his previous life.
