"I will arrange everything. If he really wants to find A Yu, he will come looking for you as long as he has the chance." Shang Junlin stroked Shen Yu's hair on his forehead.
"If he really is the person who gave me the jade pendant, I don't think he has any bad intentions. Otherwise, he wouldn't have left me a jade pendant," Shen Yu said in a low voice.
After the jade pendant was found, Shang Junlin thoroughly investigated Yuzhang Palace. In the end, he found that the jade pendant was mixed in with clothes and was brought in from outside the palace.
"I know, but it's never wrong to be careful."
Shen Yu nodded.
This matter was handed over to Shang Junlin to handle. Shen Yu only needed to wait for the results. During this time, he didn't idle around. He asked the people of "Ying Huo" to investigate the guests of Yingxing Tower.
"Young Master, this is what we found during this period of time." Mu Xi presented a booklet.
Shen Yu took it, but didn't open it immediately. Instead, he said, "Mu Xi, do you think the person who appeared this time is beneficial to me or harmful to me?"
"This servant is not sure. But based on this person's behavior, it doesn't seem like he will harm Young Master."
Shen Yu also felt the same.
But he also knew that some things couldn't be concluded too early.
"A Yu is still thinking about this matter?" Shang Junlin asked when he came back from the morning court and saw Shen Yu sitting on the swing with a thoughtful expression.
Shang Junlin ordered people to build this swing. Later, it became Shen Yu's favorite place to stay. Shen Yu liked to stay here, so Shang Junlin would definitely accompany him. Over time, Shang Junlin set up a place next to the swing to make it convenient for Shang Junlin to review memorials.
When the government affairs were busy, Shen Yu would sit on the swing and read a novel. Occasionally, he would look at the memorials. Shang Junlin would sit beside him and read the memorials that were presented to him.
After delegating some matters to the Cabinet, the number of memorials that needed to be personally reviewed by Shang Junlin had greatly decreased. At this time, Shang Junlin and Shen Yu would sit together on the swing. One of them would read memorials while the other would read novels. They did not interfere with each other and got along harmoniously.
Shang Junlin walked over and sat beside Shen Yu. He reached out and scooped the young man into his arms.
"Is there any progress with His Majesty?"
"I have already released the news that I will bring you back to the Residence of Zhenbei in two days. At that time, my people will surround the Residence of Zhenbei. If he really wants to see you and has no bad intentions towards you, he will definitely find a way to come to the Residence of Zhenbei. This is his only chance."
If they wanted to harm Shen Yu, they would have to think it through before making a move under the encirclement of so many soldiers.
"Why did His Majesty choose the Residence of Zhenbei?" Shen Yu leaned on the man's shoulder and slightly tilted her head.
Her soft hair rubbed against the man's face, which was a little itchy.
"The news was sent by Zhenbei Hou. It's just right to choose the Residence of Zhenbei." Shang Junlin raised his hand and brushed away a strand of hair beside Shen Yu's face.
"I don't know how Zhenbei Hou feels now."
Zhenbei Hou's mood was very complicated. Shen Yu had been in the palace for more than a year. Although she had returned to the Residence of Zhenbei several times, those times were different from this time. This time, the Emperor announced it personally. On the one hand, it showed that he valued Shen Yu. On the other hand, it gave people a faint feeling that Zhenbei Hou was going to rise again.
After the ministers heard the news, their mood was also very complicated.
"At that time, when Zhenbei Hou lost power, I said that this was only temporary. No matter what, he is your father. His Majesty loves the house and its crow. He will not be ruthless to the Residence of Zhenbei Hou."
"Who would have thought that after so many days of indifference to Zhenbei Hou, His Majesty suddenly said that he would take your father back to visit his relatives."
"Those who haven't fallen out with Duke Zhenbei are probably secretly happy."
"His Majesty really wants to put Zhenbei Hou in an important position this time?"
For a time, the Residence of Zhenbei Hou, which no one cared about before, welcomed all kinds of guests.
After sending away another group of guests, Zhenbei Hou rubbed his eyebrows tiredly.
"Isn't this a good sign? Why are you still frowning? "His confidant came out from the inner room and was puzzled when he saw Zhenbei Hou's appearance.
Zhenbei Hou couldn't tell. He just felt that things would not be as optimistic as they appeared on the surface.
"You don't have to think too much. As long as His Majesty favors your father, the Residence of Zhenbei Hou can enjoy a day of glory. His Majesty can't spoil your father while attacking the Residence of Zhenbei Hou."
"What you said is reasonable. Since His Majesty wants to accompany your father back, the Residence of Zhenbei Hou should prepare well. There can't be any impoliteness."
Because of the visit, everyone in the Residence of Zhenbei Hou was busy.
Such a big movement couldn't be hidden. What's more, Zhenbei Hou didn't intend to hide it.
Shen Qingran got the news from the servants of the Residence of Zhenbei Hou. Since Shen Yu entered the palace, his treatment in the Residence of Zhenbei Hou was getting worse day by day. Now it was even to the point where no one cared about him. He couldn't compare to the treatment of the Young Master of Zhenbei Hou's family.
His utility was reduced, and the place where he lived was far worse than before. Shen Qingran sat under the eaves, and his heart was at a loss.
When he tried every means to send Shen Yu into the palace, he didn't expect that the final result would be like this.
The maids and manservants chattered about Shen Yu's return to the Residence of Zhenbei Hou to visit the Residence of Zhenbei Hou. Their faces were full of yearning, and they completely forgot that when Shen Yu was in the Residence of Zhenbei Hou, they didn't even bother to look at him because he wasn't liked by the Residence of Zhenbei Hou.
In the middle of the night, Shen Qingran was awakened by a cold wind. He opened his eyes and found that the window was opened by someone. He didn't know where the servants were hiding, so he could only get up and close the window himself.
Just as he was about to close the window, he saw a small paper bag left by someone by the window. He paused his action.
He reached out and picked up the paper bag. He found a line of words under the paper bag. When he saw the content clearly, Shen Qingran's pupils shrank.
He didn't know how long he stayed by the window. When he looked up again, he saw a person standing outside the window.
He couldn't see the person's face clearly.
He heard the person outside the window say, "Do you want to destroy Shen Yu? As long as you take the things inside with you and get close to Shen Yu, you can achieve your goal. This is your only chance. You have to think clearly. "
"Who are you?"
No one answered him.
The wind at night was very cold. Shen Qingran looked down at the paper bag in his hand. The light in his eyes was flickering.
Did he want to destroy Shen Yu?
He thought.
He thought about it all the time.
Especially when the servant girls enviously talked about Shen Yu's treatment in the palace. He couldn't wait for that person to disappear forever.
The hand holding the small paper bag kept clenching, and an idea gradually became clear in his mind.
Everything that happened in the Count of Zhenbei's residence didn't affect Shen Yu. He leaned on the soft couch, supported his head with one hand, and said helplessly, "Just find a few sets of clothes."
Mu Xi tidied up the clothes and said, "Gongzi, this time when you go to the Count of Zhenbei's residence, you must be glamorous. Let those people see that Gongzi is living a good life now."
Since she knew that Shen Yu was going to visit his parents, Mu Xi had been busy preparing clothes, accessories … all kinds of things. She swore that after Shen Yu went to the Count of Zhenbei's residence, she would become the object of everyone's envy.
Shen Yu didn't want to disturb her mood and put his attention back to the book in his hand.
He found this book in the library pavilion. It recorded what happened during the reign of the late Emperor. He thought that his mother was active in the capital during this period. Maybe he could find some useful information from the book.
Unfortunately, he didn't find any useful clues after reading it several times. However, he saw some things about the late Emperor and the late Empress.
When the late Emperor had just ascended the throne, there was a period of time when he and the late Empress were very loving. The two of them would go to watch polo games together. Later, something happened and the late Empress suddenly fell out of favor.
As a result, Shang Junlin's status also plummeted.
The news that His Majesty personally accompanied His Highness to visit his parents flew everywhere as if it had grown wings. People everywhere in the capital talked about it.
The man in white was in the Yingxing Tower, so he naturally received the news.
"His Majesty really treats His Highness well. This time, he actually personally accompanied His Highness to visit his parents."
"Even if it's an ordinary family, being accompanied by their husband to visit their parents shows that they are valued by their husband and his family. His Majesty is the son of heaven, but he is willing to do such a thing. It's really enviable."
"Recently, my wife and daughter always like to talk about this matter. When they talk about it, their tone is full of envy. I have already promised to accompany my wife to visit her parents' home."
"It turns out that I'm not the only one. I also agreed."
The man in white sat by the window and silently listened to the discussion below. In these two days, what he heard the most was that His Majesty was going to accompany His Highness to visit his parents' home.
"It seems that if we want to see His Highness, we have to go to the Residence of Count North." The man in white whispered.
This morning, the Residence of Count North was very busy. Count North personally waited at the door with people, waiting for the arrival of Shen Yu and Shang Junlin.
The sun gradually rose. The housekeeper wiped the sweat on his forehead and didn't dare to move his eyes away from the outside for a moment.
"They're coming, they're coming, quickly —"
Shen Yu and Shang Junlin were respectfully welcomed into the residence.
When walking through the corridor, Shen Yu's footsteps paused.
Shang Junlin held his hand and felt his strangeness. He asked, "What's wrong?"
"I think I saw my younger brother." Although it was just a glance, Shen Yu could feel the other party's jealous gaze on him.
Their voices were not loud. Count North was behind them, so he could faintly hear a little.
Shen Yu and Shang Junlin were welcomed into the main hall. At this time, the male host of the residence should be the one to entertain the guests of his husband's family. The female host should go to the backyard with the other female members of the family. However, Shen Yu was also a man. There was no female host in the Residence of Count North who was qualified to entertain him. Therefore, he stayed in the main hall.
Count North also knew that Shang Junlin came because of Shen Yu. When Shang Junlin spoke, he would deliberately talk about Shen Yu.
Shen Yu was not interested in staying and playing the role of a filial son with Count North. He said, "Your Majesty, I'll go out for a walk."
"Go ahead. Take a few more people with you."
Shen Yu came out with a group of palace servants and walked around aimlessly.
"Aren't you tired after following me for so long?" Shen Yu walked to the lotus pond. He stopped and looked somewhere.
Not long after, Shen Qingran came out from behind the tree. "How did you find out?"
"It's hard to ignore your eyes. Why are you following me?"
It was the same indifferent and superior look. Shen Qingran clenched his hands in his sleeves. Looking at Shen Yu, who was surrounded by so many people, he almost couldn't control his emotions.
One step, two steps …
The distance between the two was getting closer. Shen Yu frowned and faintly smelled a fragrance.
"Bang —"
Before Shen Qingran could get closer, a white figure suddenly appeared in front of Shen Yu and kicked Shen Qingran, who was unprepared, into the pond.
"Don't let him get close. The things he carries will hurt you."
A cold voice came. Shen Yu looked at the man in white in front of him and then looked at Shen Qingran, who fell into the lotus pond. Before he could speak, he heard Shang Junlin's voice.
"What happened?"
