Shang Junlin subconsciously walked forward.
"You can't go over —"
The attendant blocked his path. Shang Junlin stopped and watched as the door closed bit by bit.
Only when the door was completely closed and he could no longer see the person inside did Shang Junlin retract his gaze.
"Don't worry, the elders will return you a healthy Xiao Yu." Ji Wuwang patted Shang Junlin's shoulder to comfort him.
During this period of time in the Ji clan, Ji Wuwang could feel how important Shen Yu was to Shang Junlin. How much a person loved someone could be seen through their words and actions. Shang Junlin's every action showed how much he cared about Shen Yu.
Whether it was subconsciously protecting Shen Yu or how he dealt with those who tried to harm Shen Yu, those who tried to harm Shen Yu were all handed over to Shang Junlin after Ji Wuwang interrogated them. When Ji Wuwang heard how Shang Junlin dealt with those people, even he couldn't help but shudder.
What kind of person Shang Junlin was? From these matters, one could see some clues. The vicious beast was willing to put on shackles just to keep that person.
As a relative, he missed too much time to accompany Shen Yu. Now that he found her, she had grown up alone and had also found someone she could spend the rest of her life with. What he missed was ultimately a missed opportunity. He could only do his best to make up for it.
The waiting process was always long. Shang Junlin waited outside the door. Halfway through, Ji Wuwang left for a while to deal with some matters. When he returned, the man was still standing in the same place. Even his posture hadn't changed.
Dinner was only eaten casually. At this time, whether it was Ji Wuwang or Shang Junlin, neither of them were in the mood to eat.
After an unknown period of time, the sky gradually darkened. The tightly closed door was pushed open a small crack.
It was over.
Shang Junlin and Ji Wuwang entered the hall. The elders were busy dealing with the aftermath. Imperial Physician Gu was bandaging the wounds on Shen Yu's wrist and chest.
A young man in a white robe without a speck of dust was lying on the huge stone bed. His eyes were tightly shut, as if he was an immortal who had accidentally fallen into the mortal world and was sleeping here.
"Your Majesty." Imperial Physician Gu stood up and bowed.
"No need to be so courteous. How is A Yu?" Shang Junlin walked to the side of the stone bed and looked at the young man lying on it.
"The 'prohibition' in your body has been successfully removed. All you need to do now is rest well," Imperial Physician Gu replied.
"When will Little Yu wake up?" Ji Wuwang asked.
"If it's short, he'll wake up tomorrow. If it's long, he'll wake up within five days."
Shen Yu had a very long dream. When he woke up, everything in the dream had disappeared. He only vaguely remembered that it was a dream that made people feel happy.
When he woke up, his body felt indescribably relaxed.
The room was quiet. Shen Yu opened his eyes and saw darkness. His wrist and chest hurt a little. He subconsciously wanted to raise his aching wrist to take a look.
Eh?
His hand felt restrained. His movement woke up the man who had fallen into a short sleep.
His hand was grasped by a strong hand. The man's slightly hoarse voice sounded, "A Yu is awake?"
"Your Majesty?"
"It's me."
Shang Junlin stood up and lit the candle. Shen Yu saw that the man's eyebrows were full of fatigue. He couldn't help but ask, "Did I sleep for a long time?"
"Not long. Today is the third day." Shang Junlin sat by the bed and stared at Shen Yu as if he couldn't get enough of him.
Shen Yu touched his face and saw that his wrist was wrapped in gauze. This was the wound from the treatment. Shen Yu was still conscious at that time.
He stared at his wrist for a long time. Shang Junlin thought that he was in pain and gently held his wrist, "Does it hurt?"
"A little. Your Majesty, help me up. It's uncomfortable to lie down for a long time."
Shang Junlin supported Shen Yu's back and helped him up, "The wound on your body needs some time to heal. A Yu is finally awake."
A gentle kiss fell on his forehead.
Shen Yu blinked. His long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings. The man's gentle kiss gradually moved down and fell on his wings.
There was no lust in the kiss. There was only intimacy and joy of regaining what he had lost.
Shen Yu leaned on Shang Junlin's chest. The man's heartbeat was steady, just like the feeling he gave Shen Yu.
"Your Majesty, you waited for me." Shen Yu reached out and touched the man's face.
"Yes, I waited for you. From now on, I will never let go." Shang Junlin rubbed Shen Yu's hand.
He couldn't remember how he waited for the past few days. Every moment, he prayed that Shen Yu would open his eyes. But the young man just slept peacefully. There was no sign of him waking up.
Shang Junlin didn't know how many times he had expected and was disappointed. His heart gradually became numb.
Halfway through, Imperial Physician Gu came to change Shen Yu's medicine several times. He repeatedly assured that Shen Yu was sleeping to heal himself and would wake up soon. The Ji family's elder who removed Shen Yu's "abstinence inducer" also said that it was normal. Only then did Shang Junlin calm down.
When Shen Yu woke up, the low pressure that lingered around the small courtyard was swept away.
After Ji Wuwang received the news, he rushed over with several elders of the Ji family.
"Little Yu, you finally woke up. If you didn't wake up, I would have suspected that your Majesty was going to tear down the Ji family."
Shen Yu smiled. "His Majesty wouldn't be so exaggerated."
The other members of the Ji family thought: Only you would think so. They didn't doubt that if something happened to Shen Yu in the Ji family, the Ji family might be exterminated by the furious Emperor of the Great Huan Dynasty.
They came to examine Shen Yu. Now that the "abstinence inducer" had been removed, they needed to see if there were any hidden dangers left behind.
After the examination, their expressions relaxed. The leader of the group said, "The" abstinence inducer "in Young Master Shen's body has been completely removed. There are no remaining problems."
It was more successful than they had imagined.
In the following days, Shen Yu stayed in the clan to recuperate. When the wounds on his body were healed, they could go back.
In order to stay by Shen Yu's side, Shang Junlin hadn't dealt with the outside world for several days. Shen Yu felt a little helpless when he saw this person staying by his side all day long.
"Your Majesty, don't you have to deal with the matters in the capital?" He hadn't forgotten that before they came here, they had set up a trap for the people outside.
"A Yu will accompany me." Shang Junlin rubbed his face against Shen Yu's.
Shen Yu couldn't drive them away. As long as he agreed with Shang Junlin, he would deal with them together.
For the time being, there wasn't any big trouble in the capital. Everything was going according to plan. Fang Jun had found several unknown forces gathering and had sent people to investigate.
"These people, don't tell me they want to stop us from returning to the capital?" Shen Yu looked at the news from the palace and pondered.
"I brought a small number of people to the palace to avoid the summer heat. Such a good opportunity. If someone really wants to do something, they won't let go of this opportunity." Shang Junlin wasn't surprised.
Shen Yu thought about it and agreed. Shang Junlin's initial plan had grasped this point.
The truth was just as they thought. The people behind the scenes felt that this was a rare opportunity. Seeing Shang Junlin's reputation among the people was getting better and better, if they didn't take action, it would be more difficult to shake Shang Junlin's rule in the future.
He didn't know what was going on with Shang Junlin. Why did his style of doing things suddenly change? No matter what he did, he could firmly grasp the people's hearts. Not to mention, after several major changes in the imperial court, the main officials were all willing to do practical things. Even the officials from the aristocratic families who stayed could contribute to Da Huan.
Thinking about it carefully, all the changes seemed to have started after Shen Yu entered the palace.
"Shen Yu, you have underestimated the child of Count North." The man sitting on the main seat said.
"His Majesty is deeply in love with him. This is also our opportunity. If we hurt him or pull him to our side, it will definitely cause a heavy blow to His Majesty." The person sitting below said.
"That's right. He didn't enter the palace willingly, right? He's the legitimate son of Duke Zhenbei. Not only did he fail to ask for the title of Crown Prince, but he was also sent to the harem. As far as I know, this legitimate son of Duke Zhenbei is no worse than anyone else. Otherwise, how could he seduce the King of Yue and the Emperor to fight for him at the same time and escape unscathed?"
"The King of Yue, humph, if he wasn't stupid, why would he push the Seventeenth Prince out now?" Someone was dissatisfied.
"It's obvious that Shen Yu is on the Emperor's side. Now that he has the Emperor's favor, he can get whatever he wants. Rather than pulling him to our side, it's better to get rid of him directly." The person sitting on the right said.
"If it was so easy, we would have done it long ago. Now that the Emperor is in the palace, we will send people to intercept him. At the same time, we will control the capital. When the Seventeenth Prince ascends the throne, we will expose the secret. The world will know who is qualified to sit on the throne." The first confidant who spoke retorted.
"But … wasn't it verified once before?"
After the incident with Prince Huaiyu, all the princes' bloodlines were re-verified. The ministers all knew that there was no problem with the Emperor's bloodline.
"Let's talk about this later. How's the situation in the capital?" After the argument, the person sitting on the main seat spoke again.
"Everything is going according to plan."
After removing the "Prohibition", Shen Yu ushered in a period of weakness. In addition, he lost too much blood during the process, so his face was very pale for a while.
Imperial Physician Gu prescribed a prescription for recuperation. Shen Yu had to take medicine every day again.
This time, the medicine was different from Imperial Physician Gu's usual style. It was very bitter. Shen Yu only took a sip, but he couldn't stand the bitter taste in his mouth.
"A Yu didn't take the medicine properly again?" Shang Junlin walked in from outside and happened to see Shen Yu putting aside the medicine that he had taken a sip of.
Shen Yu would only complain about such trivial matters in front of Shang Junlin. "Why didn't Your Majesty ask Imperial Physician Gu to prescribe some medicine that isn't so hard to swallow?"
Shen Yu felt that he had never drunk medicine that tasted so complicated in his two lifetimes. It wasn't just bitter. There were all kinds of strange tastes mixed in with the bitterness. Compared to these strange tastes, Shen Yu would rather this medicine was just bitter.
"I asked Imperial Physician Gu. Some herbs are special, so the taste is stronger. After drinking this medicine, it won't taste so bad in the future."
"I still have to drink it for half a month." Just thinking about it made him feel hopeless.
"Is it really that bad?" Shang Junlin walked to Shen Yu's side and picked up the bowl of medicine.
Shen Yu nodded. "Forget it, I'll drink it all in one go."
No matter how long it took, he had to drink this medicine.
Shen Yu took the bowl of medicine from Shang Junlin's hand and drank it all in one go. When he put down the bowl, Shang Junlin had already brought over the candied fruit.
Shen Yu didn't take it. Instead, he pulled Shang Junlin's collar and pulled him over. "Your Majesty, have a taste of how bitter it is."
Shen Yu licked Shang Junlin's lower lip. "How does it taste, Your Majesty?"
