The fog that had been covering his mind dispersed. King Yue finally remembered the last part of his dream.
On the eve of his ascension to the throne, he was stabbed in the heart at the place closest to the throne. Until his death, he didn't really sit on the throne.
At that time, Shen Yu also said the same thing.
Now, the same words awakened the truth that he didn't want to face.
It turned out that he didn't wake up at the most critical time in the dream, but he didn't want to believe the final result. Subconsciously, he chose to forget this memory.
Shen Yu looked at King Yue's frightened appearance with satisfaction. He stood up straight and turned around without mercy.
The hem of his cloak was grabbed and his movement was hindered. Shen Yu stopped, but he didn't look back.
He heard King Yue's hoarse voice behind him: "How do you know? Those things are real, aren't they? "
"So what if they are real, so what if they are fake? The result is the same." Shen Yu's voice was calm.
His purpose of coming here had been achieved. He was now sure that King Yue was only dreaming about his previous life, and not like him, he was reborn. He was too familiar with the King Yue of his previous life. The one sitting at his feet now was not the same person.
"You betrayed me twice, Shen Yu. Why?" King Yue clenched the hem of his cloak tightly. He didn't want to let go. He wanted to know the answer.
In his previous life, they had a good relationship. Shen Yu also devoted his heart to him. Why was it that in the end, it was Shen Yu who destroyed everything he had?
King Yue couldn't understand. In his previous life, Shang Junlin didn't exist. Shen Yu didn't enter the palace. He didn't even have any relationship with this person. Why did he fail in the end? He was only one step away.
Shang Junlin stood not far from the two of them and heard their conversation clearly. The aura around him became extremely cold. The Minister of Justice, who was standing behind him, felt his heart in his throat. Did he hear some secret that he shouldn't know?
Shang Junlin knew that Shen Yu had a lot of secrets. For example, he was obviously not valued by Count Zhenbei, so why did he know so much that he shouldn't know? He didn't delve into it because he knew that Shen Yu didn't want to talk about it.
She was willing to show her differences in front of him, which showed her trust in him. Didn't Shang Junlin want to know Shen Yu's secret? No, he wanted to know more than anyone else. But he was willing to wait for the day when Shen Yu was willing to take the initiative to tell him.
Shang Junlin had always thought that he could ignore it. He had always been the most patient Hunter, but at this moment, he realized that he could not do it.
He could not remain indifferent to the fact that Shen Yu and the Prince of Yue had a common secret, especially when it was related to the dream that the Prince of Yue had.
Shang Junlin had already gotten all the information about the dream from the Hidden Dragon Guards. He couldn't imagine how Shen Yu would give everything to the Prince of Yue. He couldn't imagine how intimate the two of them might have been, even if it only happened in the dream.
As long as he thought of those things, the ruthlessness in his heart would be like rolling waves, boiling endlessly.
Shang Junlin walked over and stepped on the Prince of Yue's hand that was grabbing onto Shen Yu's clothes.
Under the pain, the Prince of Yue had no choice but to let go.
Shang Junlin hugged Shen Yu like an evil dragon declaring its sovereignty. "A Yu is not someone you can covet. Do you think you are worth A Yu's betrayal?"
The sarcasm was like a sharp sword stabbing into the Prince of Yue's heart. The Prince of Yue laughed out loud. "If he can treat me like this, he will treat you like this sooner or later. Shang Junlin, what are you so proud of? I will wait for the day when we end up in the same situation! "
Shen Yu felt helpless when he felt the grip on his waist tighten. He thought that Shang Junlin didn't know anything. Now, it seemed like that wasn't the case.
The Prince of Yue struggled madly. Shang Junlin frowned. When the Minister of Justice saw this, he quickly ordered the guards to restrain the crazy Prince of Yue.
"Don't you have anything to say to me?" The Prince of Yue struggled to look at Shen Yu. "Why did you betray me?"
If it wasn't for the guards holding him down, he would have pounced on Shen Yu.
Shen Yu sighed. "What does the Prince of Yue want me to say? Other than the fact that I tried to get close to you using deception as an excuse, what else do I have to say? "
King Yue was stunned for a moment before he struggled even harder. He whimpered and mumbled some unclear words.
Shen Yu had already settled the grudges from his previous life. Although the result was tragic, in this life, the Prince of Yue would pay the price for his crimes.
"A Yu doesn't have anything to say to me?" After returning to the palace, Shang Junlin dismissed the palace servants. Only Shen Yu and himself were left in the huge palace.
"Your Majesty knows the content of the Prince of Yue's dream?"
Shang Junlin nodded.
Shen Yu looked at the man. "Is Your Majesty afraid?"
"What is there to be afraid of?" Shang Junlin stroked Shen Yu's face and gently stroked it. "Even if A Yu is an immortal or a demon, he can only be mine."
Shen Yu choked on the words he wanted to say. He originally wanted to ask if Shang Junlin was afraid that he would treat him like how he treated the Prince of Yue. However, when he heard Shang Junlin's words, he suddenly realized that Shang Junlin and Shang Junlin were two completely different people. Would Shang Junlin be afraid of him because of this? He already knew the answer in his heart.
"Actually, I also had the same dream as the Prince of Yue before I entered the palace." Shen Yu gently rubbed Shang Junlin's hand. After the first sentence came out, the following words were much easier to say.
"Since Your Majesty knows the content of this dream, I won't go into detail. I don't know if this dream is real or not, but it doesn't prevent me from hating the Prince of Yue because of this dream. I hate being deceived and schemed against the most."
"So, A Yu chose to do the opposite of what he did in the dream, right?"
"Yes. Originally, when Shen Qingran and his mother schemed against me, I was bound to fight back. Now, I'm glad that I made the decision in the heat of the moment. Otherwise, how could I meet Your Majesty?"
"I'm also very glad." Shang Junlin pulled her into his arms. "With A Yu, I can't imagine life without A Yu."
"In the dream, I was blind and couldn't see the true face of the Prince of Yue. I was deceived by him for so long." Shen Yu leaned into the man's arms and said in a muffled voice.
"What happened after that? What did A Yu say to the Prince of Yue that made him have such a big reaction?" Shang Junlin gently patted Shen Yu's back. In a place where Shen Yu couldn't see, his eyes were dark.
"Of course, I shattered his dream. The Prince of Yue thought that he succeeded in ascending the throne in his dream. In fact, he didn't. I just let him know that whether it was in his dream or in reality, his ambition would be in vain in the end."
Shang Junlin was an emperor himself. He knew how much he had to sacrifice in order to make the Prince of Yue's plan fail under such circumstances.
His heart was split into two halves. Half of his heart was crazily jealous of the Prince of Yue in his dream. The other half was extremely distressed for Shen Yu's experience in his dream, even if it was just a dream.
This caused Shang Junlin's actions at night to be particularly unpredictable. He switched back and forth between being rough and extremely gentle.
Shen Yu was tormented quite badly.
He kicked her, "Stay away from me …"
Unsurprisingly, her ankle fell into the palm of the man's hand. Under the gentle peck, her body couldn't help but tremble.
Her tears couldn't be controlled and slid down her cheeks. The man patiently kissed her away. His movements were extremely gentle, as if the storm just now was an illusion of Shen Yu.
Indulging in the gentleness, Shen Yu's resistance became weaker and weaker.
"A Yu, you can only be mine …"
The same sentence was repeated over and over again in Shen Yu's ears, as if it was imprinted into his bones.
"A Yu, tell me, who do you belong to?"
Shen Yu replied randomly, "I am Your Majesty's …"
"A Yu is so obedient …"
The next day, when Shen Yu woke up, those words still lingered in his mind. It was as if a unique mark had been engraved in his mind, constantly reminding him that he only belonged to Shang Junlin.
Thinking about what happened last night, Shen Yu's face became hot. A jealous man really shouldn't be provoked. Fortunately, Shang Junlin didn't continue to ask about the dream.
Shen Yu lay on the bed and sighed as if his body was falling apart. At first, he considered whether or not he should take this opportunity to tell Shang Junlin about his rebirth. After hesitating for a while, he didn't say anything. He only said that he had the same dream as Prince Yue.
He didn't know if Shang Junlin believed him or not. Rubbing his sore back, Shen Yu was glad that he didn't tell the truth. It was just a dream, but it made the man have such a big reaction. If he told him that it really happened, he would most likely die in bed.
Two days later, Shen Yu could barely get out of bed and walk normally. It was also the day to set the tombstone outside the palace.
Shang Junlin agreed to take him to see it.
The time to set the tombstone was calculated in advance by the Imperial Astronomer. In order to not miss it, Shen Yu deliberately got up early in the morning.
Shang Junlin stood behind him and helped him tie up his hair: "A Yu, why are you so enthusiastic?"
There was a trace of undetectable grievance in his tone.
Shen Yu pretended that he didn't hear it and focused on choosing the clothes to wear later.
The location was at East Street. Early in the morning, the people who got the news in advance put down their work and came to watch.
High officials, noble people, rich people, and ordinary people came from all walks of life. Some small vendors who saw business opportunities moved their stalls here to do business. Because there were so many people, business was very good.
Because the number of people who came to watch far exceeded expectations, the imperial government had to borrow people from the imperial guards to maintain order.
The carriage reached the corner and couldn't move forward anymore. The imperial guards in charge of maintaining order knew the identity of the person sitting in the carriage and didn't dare to neglect. They took a detour to the center of the street.
"Who is in the carriage? Didn't they say that the carriage is not allowed to pass? "
"It must be a noble person. There are several officials who came today. I heard that the Minister of Works, the Minister of Revenue, Minister Fang, and other officials are all here."
After the carriage drove for a distance, it stopped.
Shen Yu and Shang Junlin got off the carriage and went up to the attic under the guidance of the imperial guards.
This was a place specially prepared for the rich and powerful. They couldn't squeeze with the ordinary people when the officials came. If something happened, no one could bear the responsibility.
Shang Junlin had the status of Da Huan. Naturally, he chose the best place. Shen Yu and Shang Junlin entered the inner room. Through the window, they could see the situation outside clearly.
"There are so many people." Shen Yu sighed.
In the center of the crowd, there was a huge tombstone covered with a red cloth. When the auspicious time came, the officials of the Ministry of Rites would lift the red cloth.
The servants brought tea and all kinds of snacks. Shen Yu picked up one and tasted it while looking down.
"Eh? Your Majesty, look. What is happening over there? "
Shang Junlin looked in the direction Shen Yu pointed. He saw several imperial guards below them surrounding a husband and wife who were about 40 years old. He didn't know what they were talking about.
"Isn't this person the woman in the house we went to take shelter from the rain last time?" Shen Yu recognized the woman.
