How could King Yue, who had just been provoked by this matter, hear these words? The veins on his forehead bulged, and he almost used up all his patience to prevent himself from losing his composure.
"You weren't like this before," King Yue was so angry that he lost all reason. He blurted out his thoughts, "Are you still blaming this King for not protecting you and causing you to enter the palace …"
"Wait." Shen Yu interrupted King Yue's words. He thought, King Yue's tolerance is not good. With just a few words, he revealed all his secrets.
In his previous life, King Yue was not so honest in front of him. It was he who guessed King Yue's true identity through clues. Why did he say it so quickly in this life?
Was the impact of him entering the palace so big?
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, but he didn't show it on his face. He pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What does King Yue mean? Why don't I remember having contact with King Yue before entering the palace? What does it have to do with His Royal Highness whether I enter the palace or not? "
A series of questions were thrown at King Yue. King Yue's mind, which was occupied by anger, finally sobered up. When he realized what he had said, his face turned ugly.
"This King …"
"Or, did King Yue conceal his identity and contact me? Let me guess, King Yue mentioned Zhao Yue just now. Is it possible that His Royal Highness is Zhao Yue? "Shen Yu stood on the steps with his arms crossed and looked down at the man in the prince's attire.
King Yue didn't expect that Shen Yu could guess the truth with just a few words. He flatly denied, "This King is not."
"Then is Young Master Wang? Young Master Lin? Or Young Master Xu? "
When a name was read out, King Yue's face darkened. He thought that he was a substitute was the limit of his tolerance. He never thought that he might be a substitute … one of the substitutes???
Shen Yu pretended to be distressed, "There are a lot of people. How about His Royal Highness tell me directly, which one are you?"
"Shen Yu, don't go too far!"
"I'm going too far? Who eavesdropped on my conversation with the maid? Who was the one who followed me out? Who deliberately concealed his identity and approached me? Your Highness Prince Yue, I also want to know what you want to do. "Shen Yu's face turned cold.
"This Prince is only here to remind you. Don't think that just because you have the Emperor's favor, you can do whatever you want in the palace. There are many people eyeing the position of Empress. If you show off like this, you will only become a thorn in their side. They will only want to get rid of you as soon as possible." King Yue took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.
"You don't have to worry about that. I believe that His Majesty will protect me. After all, His Majesty is not like some people who say that it has to be you, but in the blink of an eye, they can turn a blind eye to that person's predicament and desperately try to make their presence known."
Shen Yu walked down the steps and approached Yue Wang step by step: "Yue Wang, are you still blaming me? Are you still blaming me for not finding a way to not enter the palace because of you?"
"… This king did not." Yue Wang's tone unconsciously lowered. When he first heard the news, that was indeed what he thought. Shen Yu's words were like a gust of wind that blew away his self-deceiving disguise and revealed his selfishness.
Shen Yu stepped back slightly and brushed past Yue Wang without any reluctance, "Now I really feel that entering the palace was the best choice I have ever made. No matter what identity you used to approach me, there was no connection between us in the past, and there will be no connection in the future."
There was only the hatred of two lifetimes apart.
After the people who secretly followed Yue Wang returned, they reported everything that happened here to Prince Li in full detail.
Prince Li stroked his beard: "I didn't expect that our Shen Guijun had such a relationship with Yue Wang."
"Your Highness, should we …"
"With such a big handle, we must grasp it well. Shen Yu, isn't Shen Guijun very arrogant? This king wants to see if His Majesty can still treat him as before after this incident." Yue Wang smiled in a good mood. He didn't expect to find such a big surprise by secretly following Yue Wang.
He was just worrying about how to deal with Shen Yu, and the solution came to him. It seemed that even God was on his side.
"Send someone to investigate, investigate carefully. This king wants to know all the details of what happened to Shen Yu before he entered the palace."
On the second day of the palace banquet, several people who were disrespectful to Shen Yu at the palace banquet were dismissed. The ministers who had a premonition about this were used to it. His Majesty was already merciful by only dismissing them and not beheading them.
In addition, these people's official positions were not high, and their conduct was not completely impeccable. Their disappearance from the court did not cause much of a stir.
It was getting closer to the end of the year. Shang Junlin was not as busy as before, and the time he spent in Yuzhang Palace increased day by day.
Because it was almost the New Year, Shang Junlin simply ordered the vassal kings to spend the New Year in the capital before leaving.
"Your Highness, do you know why His Majesty did not let us go back?" In the private room, Prince Li took a sip of wine.
"Does Imperial Uncle know?" Yue Wang really couldn't figure it out. Recently, he had been in a terrible fix because of Shen Qingran's matter, and really had no time to care about other things.
"I can guess a little. I'm afraid that some people's hearts are too big, and His Majesty wants to use this opportunity to knock some sense into them." Prince Li looked at Yue Wang meaningfully as he spoke.
Yue Wang's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show it on his face. "This … Your nephew really doesn't know. Recently, your nephew has been busy with some personal matters and has no time to care about other things."
Prince Li smiled and didn't expose him, but his next sentence almost made Yue Wang jump out of his seat.
"Imperial Nephew, have you considered how to deal with your relationship with Shen Guijun? Now that His Majesty dotes on Shen Guijun so much, if he knew that you had an ambiguous relationship before Shen Guijun entered the palace, wouldn't it … "
Prince Li didn't finish his sentence, but Yue Wang knew what he meant. The matter between him and Shen Yu could be big or small. If it was used by someone with ulterior motives, all his years of planning would be ruined.
"Imperial Uncle must be joking. This prince and Shen Guijun don't know each other. How could we have such a relationship?"
"Yue Wang doesn't need to rush to refute. Since this prince dared to speak, I naturally have evidence. Now, you and I have the same goal. Is Yue Wang willing to watch your former lover be in love with someone else for the rest of your life?"
Prince Li didn't expect that his subordinate would be able to find out such interesting things. It turned out that Yue Wang had secretly come to the capital and even concealed his identity to be on good terms with the legitimate son of Count North.
"Your Highness, why don't you and I work together? What I want is the position of Empress. If you still want Shen Yu, after this matter is done, you can bring him back to your fief."
Yue Wang knew that since Prince Li dared to say it directly, he must know something. But some things were different from the person himself admitting it.
After a moment of silence, Yue Wang said, "We can work together, but I hope Imperial Uncle understands that the one who has feelings for Shen Yu is Zhao Yue. It has nothing to do with this prince."
Prince Li smiled. "This prince understands. Your Highness has always stayed in your fief and never left before the imperial edict arrived."
"A toast to Imperial Uncle." Yue Wang raised his wine cup and drank it in one gulp.
"Imperial Nephew, if you have any problems, feel free to look for this prince. As long as this prince can help, this prince will definitely not refuse."
Yue Wang's hand tightened around the wine cup.
Shen Yu.
He couldn't stand the sight of Shen Yu staying by Shang Junlin's side. Whenever he thought of it, it was like a ball of fire was burning in his heart.
"Achoo."
"Young Master, rest early. It's already very late." Mu Xi brought in hot water.
Shen Yu put down the pen in his hand and soaked his hand in the hot water. When he felt his body temperature return, he took it out. "I'm fine."
"Young Master, will Yue Wang really be fine?" Knowing that Zhao Yue was the Empress of Yue, Mu Xi had been worried. If Yue Wang spread rumors about what happened back then, would Her Majesty believe her young master?
Since ancient times, there were only a few things that men couldn't tolerate the most. Moreover, Her Majesty was the Emperor, so she would only be more intolerable.
"Do you think he will be stupid enough to perish together with me?"
Mu Xi shook her head. She was just afraid that Yue Wang would be too angry with her young master and expose the matter directly.
"Besides, there's nothing between me and him. Even if he wants to do something, he won't be able to do it."
Shen Yu expected that Yue Wang would not let it go, but he didn't expect it to be in this way.
Looking at the men in front of him, Shen Yu stopped in his tracks. "What are the two princes doing?"
Seeing that the weather was good, Shen Yu went out of Yuzhang Palace for a walk and planned to send the late birthday gift to Shang Junlin. He didn't expect to run into Yue Wang and Li Wang.
"We came specially to find Your Highness. Can we talk in private?" Yue Wang was silent and didn't speak. Li Wang spoke in a seemingly amiable manner.
Shen Yu didn't think that they came to find him for anything good, so he didn't want to waste time. "If you have something to say, just say it."
"Then this prince will get straight to the point." Li Wang narrowed his eyes and said slightly threateningly, "This prince already knows what happened before Your Highness entered the palace. If Your Highness doesn't want this matter to be known to everyone, it's best that you find a way to persuade His Majesty to agree to take a consort."
"I was wondering what it was. So it's this. Li Wang is really interesting. Why do you think I'll be threatened by you?" Shen Yu raised his eyebrows. "If it's just for this matter, Li Wang shouldn't waste our time."
"Does Your Highness think that His Majesty won't care about this matter?" Li Wang couldn't stand Shen Yu's fearless appearance. His tone was vicious. "For the time being, we can say that it happened before you entered the palace, so His Majesty can't delve into it. What if this prince says that this prince also knows that after Your Highness entered the palace, Your Highness secretly left the palace to meet with an old lover?"
Shen Yu's expression became a little subtle.
Li Wang thought that he had stepped on Shen Yu's sore spot and the corners of his mouth rose.
"This prince also doesn't want to publicize this scandal to everyone. As long as Your Highness does as this prince says, this prince guarantees that no one else will mention this matter of Your Highness meeting with someone else. Your Highness should think carefully before answering."
"Think about what?" Shang Junlin's low voice came from the other side. "The person who met Your Highness that day was zhen. What, does Li Wang have an opinion about this?"
"This official doesn't dare." The smile on Li Wang's face froze.
