"Don't you know whether I'm afraid of Your Majesty or not?" Shen Yu leaned against Shang Junlin's palm and slowly calmed down the palpitation caused by the dream.
He didn't know why he had this dream, or if this dream was a sign of something. He only knew that in this life, he wouldn't let the ending of his previous life happen again.
If he could change the ending of the book once, he could change it a second time!
"I know that A Yu is not afraid of me. In this world, I'm afraid that only A Yu is not afraid of me." Shang Junlin helped Shen Yu get up. "What nightmare did A Yu have that made you scared when you saw me?"
"It was indeed a nightmare." In the dream, Prince Yue was wearing clothes similar to Shang Junlin's, so when he woke up and saw Shang Junlin dressed similarly to Prince Yue in his dream, he couldn't tell if he was in a dream or had already woken up.
"Is it raining?" Shen Yu looked at the window.
It was clearly afternoon, but the room was dark. There was a faint sound of rain coming from outside. It overlapped too much with the scene in his dream. Shen Yu was a bit absent-minded.
"It started raining after you fell asleep. I helped you up. Do you want me to call for hot water?"
Shen Yu's forehead was sweating a lot. Shang Junlin just touched his forehead and found that his hair was also wet. Shen Yu loved cleanliness, so he must be uncomfortable.
Shen Yu felt that his body was indeed uncomfortable. He didn't know how much sweat he had in his dream. His inner shirt was soaked and stuck to his body. It was very uncomfortable.
"Yes, I want to wash." Shen Yu seemed to be exhausted by the struggle in his dream. His hands and feet were weak, and he staggered when he got up.
"Meng Chang, prepare the hot water."
Shang Junlin ordered, took a fox fur coat and directly wrapped Shen Yu up. "Be careful not to catch a cold."
Shen Yu's whole body was wrapped in fur, only revealing her face. Her fair face was dyed with a faint layer of crimson. In contrast, her lips were so light that they were almost transparent.
Shang Junlin held him in his arms and held his cold hands. He said worriedly, "Let Imperial Physician Gu take a look at you?"
Shen Yu nodded indiscernibly. He was still very tired. After more than two hours of nap, because of a dream, it was even more tiring than not sleeping at all.
Shen Yu was nestled in Shang Junlin's arms. Her eyelids were drooping. From afar, she looked like she was about to fall asleep.
Eunuch Meng asked the palace servants to prepare hot water and gently knocked on the door. "Your Majesty, the hot water is here."
It was the first time he had asked for hot water in the middle of the day. Eunuch Meng didn't know the specific situation in the room, so he didn't dare to rashly enter.
Shang Junlin's voice came from inside the room. "Come in."
"Yes."
Eunuch Meng turned his head and warned the palace servants who were carrying the hot water. "When you enter, be smart and keep your head down. Don't look at what you shouldn't look at. If you violate His Majesty's taboo, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
"Yes, yes." The palace servants responded timidly.
They served in Yuzhang Palace and experienced several bloody storms. Later, with Eunuch Meng Junior's exhortations, they didn't dare to have any thoughts that they shouldn't have.
After giving the order, Eunuch Meng gently opened the door and led the palace servants in with his head down.
There was a screen in the room, so the situation on the bed couldn't be seen. Eunuch Meng asked the servants to put down the bathtub. He was about to leave when Shang Junlin stopped him.
"Meng Chang, go to the Imperial Hospital and ask Imperial Physician Gu to come over."
Eunuch Meng was shocked. Why did they need to ask for an imperial physician? No matter how confused he was, he wouldn't ask. He replied, "I'll go now."
"No need to leave anyone to serve. Take them out."
"Yes." Eunuch Meng couldn't get much information from Shang Junlin's tone. He didn't dare to be careless and immediately did as he was told.
After taking the servants out, he bumped into Mu Xi, who was carrying medicine.
"Eunuch Meng, what's the matter?" Mu Xi asked when she saw Eunuch Meng in a hurry.
"It's Miss Mu Xi. Are you going to deliver medicine to Guijun? Don't go in yet. Wait for His Majesty to summon you. "Eunuch Meng stopped and thought about the possible situation in the room.
"Did something happen?" Mu Xi suddenly became nervous.
"Miss, don't be nervous. His Majesty just ordered hot water. I'm afraid it's not very convenient now."
"It's noon, why …" Mu Xi suddenly realized something and her face turned red. "I understand. Thank you for your reminder, Eunuch Meng."
Eunuch Meng saw that she understood and hurriedly went to carry out Shang Junlin's orders.
Shang Junlin carried Shen Yu to the bathtub and tested the temperature of the water with his hand. "The temperature of the water is suitable. I'll put you in."
Shen Yu nestled in Shang Junlin's arms and nodded very gently.
Shang Junlin peeled her out of the fox fur coat and slowly put her in the water.
Shen Yu leaned against the edge of the bathtub and soaked in the hot water. She gradually relaxed.
There was more color on her lips and her skin turned light pink from the heat. Shang Junlin took a handkerchief and carefully wiped Shen Yu.
Shen Yu's skin was very white. It was the kind of white that was lustrous and smooth. It was like the best mutton fat white jade. It was also very tender. A light touch would leave a mark.
Shang Junlin had once imprinted plum blossoms on it, but now, the flowers had disappeared without a trace. His fingers brushed past it, and through a thin handkerchief, Shang Junlin could feel the gentle touch of his skin.
After recovering a little, Shen Yu crossed her arms on the edge of the bathtub and rested her head on her arms. "I'm afraid that I'm the only person in the world who can make Your Majesty personally bathe."
"The water is getting cold. A Yu, do you want to continue adding hot water or come out?" Shang Junlin put the back of his hand on Shen Yu's forehead. Her body temperature was normal.
"I don't want to bathe." Shen Yu felt that she would faint again if she was steamed for a while.
Shang Junlin carried her out of the bathtub, dried her, put on a clean inner garment, and wrapped her in the fox fur coat.
Shen Yu stopped Shang Junlin from putting her on the bed. "I don't want to lie on the bed anymore. Your Majesty, please help me put on an outer garment. I want to go out for a walk."
Shang Junlin paused for a moment. "Okay."
After taking a bath and changing into a clean set of clothes, Shen Yu felt much more comfortable.
Shang Junlin ordered the palace servants to remove the hot water. Mu Xi came in with the warm medicine. Shen Yu drank it in one gulp.
Shang Junlin fed him the candied fruit.
"I seem to be fine. I don't need Imperial Physician Gu to come again." Shen Yu carefully felt her body. There were no symptoms of discomfort.
Shang Junlin was still worried. "Let Imperial Physician Gu take a look."
"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Gu is here." Eunuch Meng's voice sounded outside the room.
Since Imperial Physician Gu was here, Shen Yu did not refuse anymore.
Eunuch Meng hinted at Imperial Physician Gu on the way. When he entered the room and saw Shen Yu, he knew that it was not the case. After carefully checking her pulse, he gradually frowned.
Shen Yu originally thought that she just had a nightmare and was fine. But seeing Imperial Physician Gu's expression, it seemed that was not the case.
Shang Junlin's heart sank. He asked directly, "Is there something wrong with your body?"
"Something is wrong with your pulse." Imperial Physician Gu pondered for a moment. "Has there been any abnormalities in your body during this time?"
Shen Yu thought carefully and replied, "I just had a nightmare. Nothing else."
"Your pulse has some changes compared to before. I still need to study it. For the time being, there won't be any problems. I will prescribe a sedative medicine. Your Majesty still needs to rest well. If you continue to be troubled by nightmares, it will not be good for your body."
Imperial Physician Gu prescribed the medicine and handed it to the palace servants. "I need to study your condition more. I will come to check your pulse every day for the next few days. Is it convenient for you?"
"Do as Imperial Physician Gu says." Before Shen Yu could answer, Shang Junlin spoke first.
Shen Yu wanted to say that there was no need to go through so much trouble. But when he saw the worry in Shang Junlin's eyes, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
It was still raining outside. Shen Yu wanted to walk outside. Shang Junlin held an umbrella with one hand and held his hand with the other as they strolled in the rain.
A gentle breeze blew, bringing with it a burst of coolness.
In the real world, there was no dull feeling like in the dream. Even walking in the rain gave them a different feeling.
The sudden spring rain caught many people off guard.
After all, no one expected that it would suddenly rain when the sun was shining brightly in the morning.
Jiang Huaiqing looked at the rain falling outside the window. He tugged at He Chengyu's sleeve. "Brother Chengyu, our books won't get wet, right?"
He decided to hang out the books because the weather was good today. Who would have thought that it would rain when they just arrived at the newly opened Study Sibao Store?
At that time, Jiang Huaiqing wanted to turn around and go back.
However, He Chengyu stopped him and said that the servants at home would take the books back. Even if he went back now, there was nothing he could do. Only then did he give up the idea.
"It won't happen." Even though he didn't know how many times he had asked, He Chengyu still replied with a good temper. "I know you treasure those books. I'll let someone take care of them."
In fact, things like hanging out the books could have been done by the servants. However, Jiang Huaiqing refused and insisted on doing it himself. He Chengyu couldn't persuade him and had to let him do it.
"I'm almost done choosing. Brother Chengyu, how about you?" It had to be said that the store He Chengyu recommended was really good. The brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone were all of high quality and the prices weren't too expensive. Jiang Huaiqing bought more than he expected.
"Let's wait for the rain to lessen before going back."
Jiang Huaiqing looked at the rain outside and nodded.
There was a designated resting area in the store. The two of them sat for a while and waited for the rain to lessen before leaving.
They didn't bring an umbrella. They borrowed it from the owner and only had one. Fortunately, the umbrella was big enough to cover the two of them.
He Chengyu held the umbrella in one hand and the things he bought in the other. Seeing that Jiang Huaiqing was some distance away from him, he said, "Huaiqing, stay closer to me. Otherwise, you'll get wet."
Jiang Huaiqing looked up and saw that the umbrella above his head was leaning towards him. He Chengyu, who was holding the umbrella, had his shoulder wet. He hurriedly leaned towards him. "Brother Chengyu, why didn't you say so earlier? Look at your shoulder. It's wet."
"It's okay. You didn't get wet, did you?" He Chengyu laughed softly.
"You're still laughing. Forget it. I'll lean closer to you. Don't move the umbrella over my head again."
Looking at the young man who was leaning against him, He Chengyu whispered, "Okay."
The conversation between the two of them gradually disappeared in the curtain of rain.
After the heavy rain, the world looked brand new. Everything seemed to have been washed. Shen Yu and Shang Junlin strolled in the rain and felt that the rain was getting lighter.
Shen Yu's mood, which was affected by the nightmare, gradually recovered. Thinking of the man who was silently accompanying him, Shen Yu stopped.
"What's wrong?" Shang Junlin also stopped.
Shen Yu looked at Shang Junlin. The man had similar facial features to the King of Yue in his dream, who was wearing the same imperial robe. However, the feeling he gave was completely different.
In the hazy rain, Shang Junlin heard the young man's voice clearly. He said,
"Your Majesty, do you want to kiss?"
