"This …" The State Preceptor looked troubled. He had been in this position since before His Majesty ascended to the throne. Of course, he knew that His Majesty was a man of his word. It wasn't that he didn't want to say it, but that he really didn't know.
He was devoted to Dao, so why would he think about how to force an immortal to stay in the mortal world? In his heart, it was already a great blessing to see an immortal in his lifetime. How could he have such a rebellious idea?
"What?" Seeing that the State Preceptor refused to say, Shang Junlin lost his patience. "There are so many capable people in the world. Even if the State Preceptor doesn't want to say it, I believe there will be someone who can tell me."
"Your Majesty, please calm down." Feeling Shang Junlin's anger, the State Preceptor knelt down. "It's not that I don't want to say it, but I'm not sure if there's a way. I'll go back and read the ancient books. Whether I succeed or not, I'll give Your Majesty an answer."
"I'll give you seven days. It's best if you can give me a satisfactory answer." Shang Junlin's index finger tapped on the armrest of the chair.
The heavy pressure disappeared, and the State Preceptor breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Get up. Tell me about Prince Li." Shang Junlin didn't forget the reason why the State Preceptor came to the palace.
The State Preceptor stood up and said, "In the past few days, I've found the evil figure who caused a disaster ten years ago around Prince Li. Combined with the disappearance of young girls in and around the capital, it's very likely that this evil figure is behind it, including this large-scale drought."
"State Preceptor, are you saying that this drought is man-made?" Shang Junlin sat up straight and narrowed his eyes dangerously. "But didn't the State Preceptor say that this is a tribulation that should happen to Da Huan?"
"Previously, because it involved the fate of the country, the mysteries of heaven couldn't be easily seen. The result of my divination was correct, but some details were blurred. This time, after returning from Mount Xi, I did another divination. The divination showed that someone wanted to take advantage of the natural disaster to harm Da Huan and Your Majesty."
Due to the blessing of the gods, the Imperial Preceptor's cultivation had improved a lot after the trip to Mount Parse. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to discover the hidden danger.
"That evil cultivator is unscrupulous in order to achieve his goal. He should have been killed ten years ago, but I don't know why he escaped. This time he came back and stood on the side of Prince Li. Your Majesty must be careful."
"We will pay attention." After witnessing the existence of immortals with his own eyes, Shang Junlin would no longer be as dismissive as before.
The State Preceptor reminded him of some precautions and left with a worried look.
To Da Huan, being able to obtain the help of an Immortal was the most fortunate thing. Throughout history, which dynasty had encountered such a thing? Unfortunately, the current Emperor had designs on immortals that he shouldn't have. No one knew whether this matter would lead to a happy ending or become an even greater disaster in the end.
If an Immortal was angered, how could a mortal bear the wrath of an Immortal?
No one knew about the State Preceptor's worries. After sending the State Preceptor away, Shang Junlin returned to his bedroom.
Shen Yu hadn't fallen asleep yet when he heard the approaching footsteps. He opened the curtain and asked, "Your Majesty, why have you been gone for so long?"
There was an imperceptible anger in his tone.
Shang Junlin's footsteps paused.
The young man was wearing his pajamas. The white pajamas were a little too big, revealing his snow-white skin. The young man knelt on the bed. His long white hair hung down, covering the black mattress embroidered with golden dragon patterns.
The man's eyes darkened and he sat on the edge of the bed. "We made A Yu wait for a long time."
"It's not that long," Shen Yu moved over. "Is it something difficult?"
"No, it's not a big deal," Shang Junlin touched the young man's long hair. He didn't want these dirty things to dirty the young man's ears. "It's very late. You should rest first."
Note:
Mortals needed to sleep at night. It was indeed late. Shen Yu nodded and stepped back into the bed. "Your Majesty, come up quickly."
The dragon bed for the Emperor was very big. It was more than enough for Shen Yu and Shang Junlin. Shang Junlin asked the palace servants to prepare two quilts. After covering Shen Yu with one of the quilts, he went to sleep.
Shen Yu lay on the bed and felt Shang Junlin's breath come and go. He blinked and looked sideways at the man lying on the other side.
When Shen Yu saw Shang Junlin for the first time, he felt that this man's appearance was not worse than any of the gods he had seen. His facial features were sharp, and his eyebrows and eyes were sharp. He was the type of appearance that Shen Yu liked the most.
The man closed his eyes. His long eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes. Shen Yu couldn't help but move closer to count his thick eyelashes.
Not long after lying down, Shang Junlin heard a rustling sound. Then, another person's breath came closer.
"What's wrong?" Shang Junlin opened his eyes and looked sideways at the young man who had already moved closer to him.
Shen Yu was stunned. He didn't understand why he suddenly moved closer. He looked at the quilts that covered him and Shang Junlin separately. He asked in a puzzled tone, "Why do we need to cover ourselves with two quilts?"
"You want to share a quilt with me?" Shang Junlin raised his eyebrows.
After saying that, he didn't wait for Shen Yu to answer. He reached out and pulled Shen Yu into his quilt. "Is this okay?"
His scalding body temperature came through the thin clothes. Shen Yu didn't know why he wanted to shrink back, but this time, the man didn't follow his wishes. He firmly locked him in his arms with his strong arms.
"Don't move."
His voice was slightly hoarse.
Shen Yu lowered his eyes and leaned on the man. His body was infected with another person's warmth. His heart gradually calmed down and he fell asleep unknowingly.
What he didn't know was that after he fell asleep, the man looked at him with a complicated gaze for a long time. Then, he gently and reservedly kissed his forehead and fell asleep with him in his arms.
It was a dreamless night.
When he woke up in the morning, Shang Junlin looked at the young man who was sleeping soundly in his arms and the white hair that covered his chest. He moved back a little.
Unexpectedly, before he could move back, the young man leaned closer to him and rubbed his head against his neck. Shang Junlin took a deep breath and calmed his restless body.
It was too exciting in the morning.
Shang Junlin looked down at the young man's peaceful sleeping face. He had an impulse to touch his forehead.
However, he was the one who made the decision to let the young man live in his bedchamber. This kind of accompanying sweet torture could only be endured by him.
Eunuch Meng walked in with light steps. "Your Majesty, it's time to get up."
Shang Junlin carefully pulled Shen Yu out of his arms and got up to put on his clothes.
After putting on the heavy imperial robes, the man turned back into the decisive young emperor. Only when he looked at the young man did a touch of gentleness appear in his eyes.
"Don't wake him up."
"This slave understands." Eunuch Meng lowered his head and tidied up Shang Junlin's imperial robes. He didn't dare to look at him.
When Shen Yu woke up, Shang Junlin had already gone to court and he was the only one on the bed.
Shen Yu, who had just woken up, was a little confused. The bedchamber was quiet. After a while, Shen Yu remembered that he followed Shang Junlin to the Da Huan Imperial Palace.
Not long after he woke up, Shang Junlin came back from court. In order to be able to spend more time with Shen Yu, he moved his official business to the bedchamber to deal with it.
Recently, the imperial court was very busy. In addition to the drought, there was also the case of the missing young girls. Since a month ago, young girls had been disappearing one after another. In recent days, the number of missing people had increased exponentially. Shang Junlin knew from the State Preceptor that this matter was related to evil, so he asked the State Preceptor's residence to send people to help deal with it.
These things didn't affect Shen Yu, who lived deep in the palace.
Those who had the opportunity to get close to him were screened over and over again to ensure that there was no problem with their identity. The bedchamber was also protected by layers of protection. Those who wanted to inquire about Shen Yu's news all returned without success.
Prince Li's residence.
"After so many days, there is still no news at all?" Prince Li looked at his kneeling subordinates with displeasure.
"Your Highness, please forgive us." The subordinates' foreheads touched the ground. Cold sweat soaked their backs. It wasn't that they were weak, but this time the emperor blocked the news too tightly. No matter what they did, they couldn't find any news about the miracle of Mount Parting.
"You can't even do such a small thing. What's the use of me raising you?"
"Your Highness, you don't have to be angry about this. In order to block the news, even the State Preceptor went out this time. It's normal that your people can't find anything." Xu Daozhang walked in slowly.
Prince Li took a deep breath and said to his subordinates kneeling on the ground: "You go first."
When there were only two people left in the room, Prince Li said: "Xu Daozhang, you came here. Is the matter done?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness. This humble Daoist has already brought it. As long as you place it beside that person, it will be able to absorb his Luck for Your Highness to use." With that, Daoist Xu took out a piece of black jade that glowed faintly from his sleeve.
When the horsetail whisk brushed it, the dim light became golden. The originally strange jade was suddenly filled with auspicious Qi.
Seeing this, Prince Li's knitted brows loosened: "Thank you, Daozhang."
The next thing he had to think about was how to deliver this jade stone to his good brother.
As if he knew what he was worried about, Xu Daozhang smiled mysteriously: "Your Highness, you don't have to worry. Soon, there will be an excellent opportunity to present the jade."
In the afternoon, Shang Junlin took Shen Yu to walk around the Imperial Palace. Shang Junlin found that if he didn't take Shen Yu with him, Shen Yu would rather stay in the palace than go out for a walk.
He had to prepare all kinds of toys to put in the palace. There were all kinds of toys, including all kinds of toys suitable for children to play with. This caused people to begin to speculate whether the Imperial Palace was going to welcome another owner.
In a way, this conjecture was partially true.
In addition to these, Shang Junlin also asked people to buy a lot of storybooks because he found that Shen Yu liked to listen to stories. If he had time, he would read them. If he didn't, Eunuch Meng's godson, Meng Yuan, would read them.
The scenery in the Imperial Garden was beautiful. The pavilion in the middle of the flowers had been decorated comfortably. The stone bench was covered with a thick blanket, and the pavilion was surrounded by gauze.
There were all kinds of snacks and fruits on the stone table.
When Shen Yu came to the Imperial Palace, Shang Junlin used the excuse that the Imperial Palace had a lot of delicious food. After bringing him back to the Imperial Palace, in order to fulfill his promise, he ordered the Imperial Kitchen to prepare different dishes every day.
Shen Yu had lived in the Imperial Palace for a few days, but he hadn't eaten the same dishes.
Shang Junlin was holding a storybook in his hand, which was said to be very popular recently. The man's voice was low as he narrated the story in the book.
Shen Yu supported his chin and looked at the man, listening very carefully.
"He saw the fox-eared boy sneak into the Prime Minister's bedroom …"
At the most important part, Shang Junlin suddenly stopped. Shen Yu waited for a while, but didn't hear anything else. He opened his eyes slightly: "Why did Your Majesty stop reading?"
Shang Jun Lin tightened his grip on the book. He glanced at the young man who was still in a daze and continued, "Take off your clothes and walk straight to the bedside. 'Your Excellency saved this servant's family. This servant should repay your kindness' …"
