Shen Yu couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
He had only mentioned the swing to Shang Junlin once. He didn't expect that Shang Junyue would build a swing for him in Yuzhang Palace in the blink of an eye.
A swing wasn't a big deal. What was rare was that as the emperor, Shang Junlin actually kept his matter in mind.
"I like it very much." Shen Yu turned around and met the man's tender eyes. He repeated, "I really like it, Your Majesty."
"Let's go and take a look." Shang Junlin held Shen Yu's hand and walked towards the swing.
The man's hand was warm and strong. Shen Yu's hand was curled up in the man's palm, like a tired bird that had found a shelter from the wind and rain.
Shen Yu looked at the swing that had suddenly appeared and gave him a great surprise. The rope hanging on the swing was two fingers thick. There were green vines with white flowers wrapped around it. The seat below was very big, big enough for him and Shang Junlin to sit down together.
Shen Yu walked around the swing and felt a little itchy.
"Your Majesty, I'll sit on it. Please push me." Shen Yu finished speaking and sat on the swing.
For comfort, the wooden chair was covered with a thick velvet blanket to isolate the coolness of the wooden chair and reduce the hardness of the wooden chair.
Shang Junlin walked behind Shen Yu and slowly pushed the swing.
Shen Yu sat on the swing. As the swing rose and fell, the breeze brushed past his cheeks and raised his hair behind him.
Every time the swing fell, Shen Yu's hair would be blown to Shang Junlin's body and hands.
Shen Yu narrowed his eyes. After swinging for a while, he suddenly realized that it wasn't good to let Shang Junlin push him. The next time the swing fell, he pulled Shang Junlin's sleeve.
"What's wrong?" Shang Junlin firmly grabbed the rope of the swing and stopped it.
Shen Yu leaned sideways and looked up at him, "I want Your Majesty to accompany me."
Shang Junlin paused for a while. In the end, he couldn't resist the idea of playing on the swing with Shen Yu. He walked to Shen Yu's side and sat down.
They didn't let the palace servants push the swing. Instead, they let the swing swing slowly. Shen Yu leaned on Shang Junlin's shoulder and talked about his childhood.
"At that time, Shen Qingran liked to show off to me. Count Zhenbei made a swing for him in the courtyard. He liked it very much and dragged me to see his swing." Shen Yu's gaze slowly drifted away. "The kind that I watched him play."
It's been a long time.
Shen Yu didn't really remember these things during the New Year. Today, sitting on the swing, the long-lost memories were dug out.
"He laughed very happily. At that time, I was standing not far away and wanted to try it. I wanted to try the feeling of flying. But I knew that Shen Qingran wouldn't let me sit on it. He was always like this. Whenever he got something good, he had to show it off in front of me."
Speaking of this, Shen Yu chuckled, "At that time, I still had fantasies about Count Zhenbei. I even naively went to Count Zhenbei to ask for the same thing. The result was as you can imagine."
"It's Count Zhenbei's fault." Shang Junlin stroked Shen Yu's hair.
"Later, I slowly understood that Count Zhenbei was unreliable. No matter how much I wanted something, I wouldn't go to him."
In fact, what kind of precious things could a child want? It was nothing more than the warmth behind those things. Unfortunately, Count Zhenbei wasn't willing to give him even a little warmth.
"Let's not talk about Count Zhenbei. Back to the swing. Later, when I slowly grew up, someone came to me with the title deed and said that there were some things left by my mother for me. That village was one of them. When I went to the village, I asked someone to make a swing. I tried it and found that the feeling was completely different from what I imagined. "
"It won't happen again in the future." Shang Junlin held Shen Yu's arm tightly.
"Huh?" Shen Yu was surprised.
"A Yu won't have anything that he wants but can't get in the future."
Shang Junlin couldn't change Shen Yu's past that he couldn't participate in. He could only make up for the regrets of the past bit by bit. But he could guarantee that with his participation in the future, Shen Yu wouldn't have the same regrets!
"I'm not a child anymore. If I really want something, I'll get it myself." Shen Yu looked up at the sky, "It's good now. I have Your Majesty. I'm already very satisfied."
In this life, he was picked up for free. His destiny was in his own hands, and he could live it however he wanted.
After returning to the palace, his life gradually got on the right track. Except for the bitter taste of the new prescription, Shen Yu didn't have any dissatisfaction.
"Can't we ask Imperial Physician Gu to change the prescription?" Shen Yu drank the medicine in the bowl in one gulp. After drinking it, he immediately grabbed a handful of candied fruit and put it into his mouth.
"A Yu, endure for a few more days. After this treatment, you can change the previous prescription."
Shen Yu faintly looked at the man who was standing and talking without thinking, "Your Majesty said the same thing yesterday."
"Imperial Physician Gu said that it's too bitter to suppress.
The flavored medicine will dilute the effect of the medicine. Ah Yu, bear with it for the sake of your health. " Shang Junlin didn't want to see Shen Yu suffer. He had asked Imperial Physician Gu before. Compared to the discomfort of drinking medicine for a short period of time, he hoped that Shen Yu's body could recover as soon as possible.
It had only been a few days, and the little bit of meat he had painstakingly gained was gone. His face was also smaller than before he got sick.
Shen Yu knew that drinking medicine was for his own health. He just couldn't help but want to complain to Shang Junlin. Thinking of the reason for his illness, he asked, "What about the man in gray? Who did this to me? "
"We couldn't find out who the mastermind was. No matter how we tortured him, he refused to talk. If we didn't find out in time, he would have taken his own life." Shang Junlin wanted to know who the mastermind was more than Shen Yu. However, they had too few clues and couldn't find out anything.
Last time, when Yuzhang Palace was in trouble, he changed most of the people in Yuzhang Palace. However, he still couldn't find out who the mastermind was. It would be difficult this time too.
"The man in gray should be a man of sacrifice. He knows our movements very well. He also knows the style of the Hidden Dragon Guards and the imperial guards." Shen Yu thought, "Let's not talk about the other two first. There shouldn't be many people in Dahuan who are familiar with the style of the Hidden Dragon Guards."
The Hidden Dragon Guards were similar to men of sacrifice. They usually only acted in the dark. Many ministers only knew that Shang Junlin had such a force. As for how the Hidden Dragon Guards looked like and how they did things, they didn't know at all.
Shen Yu said, "We probably can't find out anything from the man in gray. Since the mastermind took action, he must have thought of a way out."
Shang Junlin said, "I know."
The man in gray really gave the interrogators a headache. It was almost a consensus that they couldn't get anything out of the men of sacrifice. However, the Emperor didn't want to talk about the person who hurt the Emperor. They could only keep interrogating him.
When the man was on his last breath, the Emperor finally sent an order: Don't get anything out of him. Continue interrogating him.
"What does the Emperor mean?" The people who received the order looked at each other.
"The Emperor is avenging the Emperor. Don't let him have an easy time." Someone reacted.
"The Emperor really thinks highly of the Emperor." Another person sighed.
"Don't talk about it anymore. Let's get to work. We also need to vent our anger for the past two days."
On the other side of the dark prison, the King of Yue heard the low and hoarse screams from not far away.
He shrank back at the corner.
He didn't know if those people did it on purpose. They always interrogated the prisoners not far away from him. It was fine if it happened once or twice. However, if it happened too many times, even the gods couldn't stand the screams that always lingered in his ears.
In addition to the screams, there were also all kinds of hair-raising sounds of punishment: the sizzling sound of hot soldering iron coming into contact with skin, the teeth-numbing creaking sound, the sound of whips falling in the wind, and the sound of people being hit …
After a few days, the King of Yue was mentally and physically exhausted. His dreams were filled with similar sounds.
He couldn't stay here any longer! He had to get out!
The King of Yue didn't care about the previous Emperor's instructions. He didn't want to use those forces unless it was absolutely necessary. He only wanted to get out of this dark place and get away from those torturous sounds!
"Your Majesty, there is movement." The leader of the Hidden Dragon Guards knelt on the ground respectfully and said.
"Don't alert the enemy first. I want to catch the big fish behind the King of Yue in one go." Shang Junlin supported his head with one hand and sat on the throne. His tone was calm.
"Yes."
The King of Yue used a special method to contact someone. He was finally relieved. When he heard the screams next door, it wasn't as unbearable as before.
The screams next door continued. Occasionally, he could hear some whispers. They were all talking about how the Emperor doted on Shen Guijun. The King of Yue sat by the wall and subconsciously thought of the elegant young man in blue.
Shen Yu.
What exactly went wrong that caused Shen Yu's attitude to change so drastically overnight? The King of Yue still couldn't figure it out.
Shen Yu heard the King of Yue's movements from Shang Junlin. He was puzzled. "Why did he suddenly lose his mind?"
With the King of Yue's cautiousness, it didn't make sense that he couldn't endure being imprisoned for a few days.
"I asked them to put the interrogation location near the King of Yue." Shang Junlin said calmly.
"Pfft." Shen Yu couldn't help but laugh. "How did Your Majesty think of this method?"
Shen Yu could already imagine how torturous the King of Yue was during this period of time. The King of Yue was someone who couldn't tolerate noise. With that kind of noise lingering in his ears every day, it was already his limit for him to only take action now.
"It's because you taught me well."
Shen Yu: "???"
"What did I teach Your Majesty?"
Shang Junlin reminded him. "Last time, you asked me to send a letter to the King of Yue's lovers …"
Shen Yu choked.
Thinking of the King of Yue's bad luck during this period of time, he decided not to argue with Shang Junlin.
Speaking of the secret prison, Shen Yu thought of another person who was imprisoned in the secret prison. "Your Majesty, is there any news about the He family?"
"Yes." Shang Junlin frowned slightly. "They secretly arrived in the capital."
In the capital, they didn't do anything. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Shang Junlin only asked people to pay attention to their every move. For the time being, he didn't do anything else.
The He family, the mysterious force behind the He family, and the King of Yue. Shen Yu connected the three together and couldn't help but have a new idea. Maybe the young master He was just a cover? If the King of Yue didn't get the help of the mysterious force because he saved the young master He …
No, if that was the case, the King of Yue didn't need to spend so much effort to get the young master He out of the secret prison. The King of Yue was a person who wouldn't do anything without benefits. If there weren't enough benefits, he wouldn't take such a big risk to save a person who was deeply imprisoned.
"Your Majesty, you should also pay attention to the young master He's movements during this period of time." Shen Yu reminded him.
"I'll pay attention." Shang Junlin finished speaking, put down the memorial in his hand and approached Shen Yu who was standing on the other side.
"Does Your Highness still remember our bet? The imperial examination in spring is about to begin. " Shang Junlin carried Shen Yu to the soft couch and gently put him down. Then, he leaned over.
Shen Yu turned around and escaped from Shang Junlin's shackles. "The outcome hasn't been decided yet. Your Majesty, why are you so anxious?"
