Shen Yu thought about it. A place like the dark prison was indeed not clean. If he didn't clean himself up, he wouldn't be able to sleep well.
"You still need to change clothes." Shen Yu suggested.
"After you're done, help Guijun change into clean clothes."
After talking to Shen Yu, Shang Junlin turned his head and ordered, "Mu Xi, go and find a set of comfortable clean clothes and a thick cloak."
"Yes."
Eunuch Meng had received the order in advance and had already gone to prepare a bath. When Shang Junlin finished dressing Shen Yu, Eunuch Meng had just returned.
"Your Majesty, it's done."
Shang Junlin hugged Shen Yu, who was half asleep. "Is the floor heating done? Guijun can't stand the cold. Has the temperature in the room risen? "
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I promise you won't feel cold."
"Your Majesty, aren't you bathing in the bedroom?" Shen Yu listened to Shang Junlin's instructions. It didn't seem like they were going to do it in the bedroom.
"Take Guijun to another place. I'll carry Guijun there. If Guijun is sleepy, you can take a nap." Shang Junlin comforted him in a low voice.
The hot water was prepared in advance. There was a special bath in the palace not far from Yuzhang Palace. The steps were made of white jade, and the hot air was dense. It was exceptionally gorgeous.
Shen Yu was held in the man's arms, and only 30% of his attention was left to observe the outside.
"Your Majesty, where is this?" Shen Yu looked at the completely unfamiliar scenery and asked in a low voice.
"It's a place to bathe." Shang Junlin was very patient tonight and answered all questions.
"Your Majesty, you lied to me. I don't usually bathe here." Shen Yu complained.
Shang Junlin hugged the person in his arms to prevent her from being disturbed by the cold wind. "I didn't lie to you. The dark prison is cold. I'll take you to soak in hot water."
"Really?" Shen Yu didn't believe it.
"Why are you so vigilant at this time? Guijun, tell me, why did I lie to you? "Shang Junlin raised his eyebrows.
At this time, Shen Yu was very silly and easy to tease.
Shen Yu tried to think with his hazy brain, but he couldn't come up with an answer. "I don't know …"
"We're almost there. Don't fall asleep yet." At this moment, all the negative emotions left Shang Junlin. In his eyes and heart, there was only the person in his arms.
The distance from the bedroom to the bathing pool wasn't too far. After walking for about fifteen minutes, they arrived.
。
Eunuch Meng walked to the front and opened the door. Steam seeped out from the crack of the door.
"Your Majesty, do you need someone to serve you?"
"No need." Shang Junlin carried Shen Yu and stepped through the door. He was greeted by the warm air.
The huge bathtub was built indoors. Knowing that Shang Junlin was going to use it, Eunuch Meng had the palace servants prepare the floor heating in advance. At this moment, when Shang Junlin came in with Shen Yu, they didn't feel cold at all.
Suddenly in a warm place, Shen Yu struggled to reach out a hand from the tightly wrapped cloak. "Your Majesty, where is this? It's so warm."
"We've arrived at the bathing pool. Guijun, take a look." Shang Junlin carried Shen Yu to a chair covered with fluffy fox fur.
After a short while, Shen Yu felt hot and slowly opened his eyes. What entered his sight was a piece of white gauze.
There was only him and Shang Junlin in the entire hall. Not far in front of them, there was a bathtub that covered a very large area. The bathtub was filled with hot water, and steam continuously rose from the pool.
Shen Yu felt that this bathtub was enough for him to swim in a few times.
Warm places always made people sleepy. However, Shen Yu was very interested in this bathtub, which looked very comfortable. He struggled to get rid of the sleepiness and sat up straight.
Looking around, the hall was empty. It turned out that there was no one here. It wasn't an illusion caused by the palace servants' low sense of presence. There really wasn't a single palace servant.
Even Eunuch Meng and Mu Xi weren't here.
Shen Yu pulled Shang Junlin's sleeves and asked under the man's puzzled gaze, "Your Majesty, are there only the two of us?"
"Who else does Your Majesty want to come?" Shang Junlin narrowed his eyes.
"Where are the palace servants? Are there no servants? "Shen Yu didn't feel any danger.
"We don't need them." Shang Junlin replied faintly.
"Oh." Shen Yu withdrew his hand and slowly undid his cloak.
Shang Junlin half-squatted and pressed Shen Yu's hand.
Shen Yu looked at him in confusion. "Your Majesty?"
"I'll do it." Regardless of Shen Yu's shock, Shang Junlin half-squatted and pushed Shen Yu's hand aside. He skillfully began to undo Shen Yu's cloak.
He put on the cloak with his own hands and took it off with his own hands.
Shen Yu looked down at Shang Junlin's clear knuckles and couldn't help but wonder if he was dreaming.
Otherwise, how could he explain that the emperor didn't want the palace servants to serve him and even personally serve him?
Shang Junlin
When Junlin was young, he wasn't treated like a proper prince. Later, he lived in the army for a long time. He knew how to do things that ordinary people did, and he also knew how to do things that ordinary people didn't.
The temperature beside the bathtub was very high. After the cloak was undone, Shen Yu felt a lot more relaxed.
Because he was half-squatting, Shen Yu looked down at Shang Junlin. He could see the man's long eyelashes, tall nose, and good-looking thin lips.
It was said that people with thin lips were fickle. Was Shang Junlin also a fickle person?
Shen Yu's eyelashes fluttered slightly. He couldn't help but reach out to touch him.
As soon as his fingertips touched, the man raised his eyes.
Shang Junlin's eyes were very dark. Shen Yu always thought that his eyes were dark black. He was caught off guard and found that there was a faint purple in the black.
The purple was deep and mysterious, as if it was an abyss that tempted people to fall into. Shen Yu stared blankly, as if he was being sucked into that mysterious place.
"Your Majesty …"
"What is Guijun doing?"
Shen Yu suddenly stopped thinking and looked at Shang Junlin's eyes again. There was no purple in them. It seemed that he was too sleepy to the point that he was bewitched.
"Your Majesty's eyes are very beautiful." Shen Yu, who came back to his senses, was a little more awake and answered with a smile.
"Guijun's eyes are also very beautiful." Shang Junlin's tone was calm, as if he was just telling a fact.
"Your Majesty, I'll do it myself." Seeing that he was missing another piece of clothing, Shen Yu couldn't sit still anymore.
"Guijun, don't you think it's a little too late to say it now?" Shang Junlin looked at his masterpiece and deliberately asked.
The cloak and outer shirt were all taken off, leaving only a thin inner garment. The belt was also half undone.
Shen Yu looked at his half-undone clothes and fell silent.
Shang Junlin insisted, so Shen Yu let him do it. He was very tired and didn't want to move. He was happy to be served by someone.
Shang Jun Lin was the Emperor of the Nine and Five. Even he himself was not unhappy, so Shen Yu was even more indifferent.
When there was only one piece of clothing left on his body, Shen Yu stopped Shang Junlin's hand.
"Your Majesty, it's done."
Shang Junlin didn't insist anymore.
He stood up and bent down to pick up Shen Yu and put him in the bathtub. He reminded him, "Don't fall asleep."
Soaking in the hot water, Shen Yu was a lot more energetic. He nodded, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I won't drown myself."
"Your Majesty, do you want to join me?" Shen Yu was soaked in the water from his shoulders down. Only his head was above the water surface. His gaze drifted around.
He floated around.
His Majesty used facts to prove that he also wanted to soak in the bathtub.
Shang Junlin cleaned himself up much faster than Shen Yu. Shen Yu didn't soak for long before he felt the water ripple around him.
When he turned around, Shang Junlin had already swam to his side.
Shang Junlin's appearance was different from usual when he wore the emperor's clothes. Without the clothes that represented power, Shang Junlin's aura was much gentler. His long hair was tied up and let down. It suddenly made people realize that apart from the emperor's identity, Shang Junlin was not that old now.
"Why are you staring at me?" Shang Junlin asked when he noticed Shen Yu's gaze on him.
Shen Yu, "Your Majesty, the injuries on your body …"
From his shoulders down, Shang Junlin's body was crisscrossed with scars. Some of them could be seen from a long time ago.
"Most of them were from the battlefield." Shang Junlin didn't care much about the injuries on his body.
"Why are there so many of them left?" And some of them were obviously left behind because he didn't treat them in time.
"When I joined the army in my early years, the situation was complicated. I didn't use my real identity. Many of the injuries were left behind at that time. After that time, the situation became a lot better." When talking about the most difficult time, Shang Junlin's tone was still casual.
Shen Yu gently touched a wound under Shang Junlin's shoulder. This wound almost spanned across half of the man's chest. Even after so many years, it still looked ferocious. It was not difficult to imagine what it was like when he was injured.
"Your Majesty, was it painful at that time?" Shen Yu couldn't help but think of Shang Junlin's young appearance. He wore an ill-fitting armor and fought with an enemy who was taller than him.
Because Shen Yu had soaked in hot water for a while, her hand was not as cold as before. When she touched the wound with her warm hand, Shang Junlin's heart skipped a beat.
A very strange feeling spread from the place where their skin touched. His heartbeat unconsciously accelerated, and an unknown throbbing rose from the bottom of his heart.
It was as if a pair of warm hands had passed through time and space and healed the scars in the lonely young man's heart.
"Guijun," Shang Junlin grabbed Shen Yu's wrist and pulled her towards him with a little force, "I actually didn't feel it for a long time."
When he first went to the battlefield, new wounds were added almost every day. After receiving so many injuries, he became numb. Later, even if he was covered with scars, he could still take the enemy's head.
Shen Yu leaned on Shang Junlin's chest and listened to the man's strong heart.
He couldn't tell what he was feeling. He thought, why couldn't he be reborn in an earlier time period? Even if he could touch the young man who had been suffering since childhood, it would be good enough.
"Your Majesty is obviously God's favored one. You shouldn't have to suffer like this."
"I think it's good this way." Shang Junlin was very glad. If he wasn't strong enough, how could he give the person he wanted to protect an environment where she could live freely?
Shen Yu and Shang Junlin were close together. Suddenly, they felt something strange between their waists. They quietly moved away.
Before they could move away, an arm appeared around their waists and they moved back again.
Shang Junlin leaned against Shen Yu's neck and chuckled, "Where do you want to go, Guijun?"
Shen Yu trembled when his hot breath brushed past the sensitive skin on her neck. "Your Majesty …" You're hurting me …
The man didn't seem to notice Shen Yu's embarrassment. He was still close to Shen Yu, "Guijun, stay with me for a while."
Shen Yu's toes curled up. He really wanted to ask Shang Junlin if he was the one who was hurt, could he continue to stay as if nothing had happened. However, he couldn't bear it because he imagined a poor young version of Shang Junlin in his mind.
"Your Majesty, can you let go?" Shen Yu felt a burning sensation. He couldn't convince himself to ignore it and couldn't help but struggle.
"Don't move," Shang Junlin groaned when Shen Yu moved. His voice was low and hoarse, "If you move again, I can't guarantee what will happen next."
