After a night of heavy snow, there was only a touch of white left between heaven and earth.
The furnace that was boiling the medicine made a "gululu" sound. The two little maids who were responsible for looking after the furnace were whispering together. Suddenly, two strong servants came over and took away the medicine pot without saying a word.
"Hey! What are you doing? This is the young master's medicine! "The little maid pulled the hand of the person beside her and chased after them.
She didn't notice that as they got closer and closer to the main courtyard, the maids behind her showed an obvious look of panic.
In the bedroom with the doors and windows closed, a young man in a snow-white fox fur coat was half leaning on the bed and coughing from time to time. His long black hair slid down his cheeks and his skin was so white that it was almost transparent.
"Are you feeling better? I already said that the weather is cold recently and told you to wear more clothes. "Zhenbei Hou was relieved that his eldest son had finally woken up.
If something happened to his eldest son at this juncture, the consequences were not something the Zhenbei Hou Residence could bear.
"There are no outsiders now. Father, you don't have to pretend. What is the cause of my illness? Father, do you really not know?" The young man glanced at Zhenbei Hou and said leisurely.
"What's more, whether father is worried about me or that person's blame, I'm afraid only you know."
"Shen Yu …"
"I'm here." Shen Yu didn't care that his words provoked Zhenbei Hou's anger.
If it was in his previous life, Shen Yu would have scruples about the father-son relationship between him and Zhenbei Hou. Now that he was reborn, Shen Yu didn't intend to wrong himself for anyone.
"This matter is not up to you to throw a tantrum. You have to go to the palace even if you don't want to." Zhenbei Hou barely suppressed his anger and advised: "Father knows that you don't want to. If it was something else, you can go as you please. But for this matter, His Majesty personally ordered …"
Shen Yu narrowed his eyes. No matter how dignified Zhenbei Hou's words were, it couldn't hide the absurd fact that he sent his legitimate son into the harem for his future.
The emperor of the Great Huan Kingdom, Shang Junlin, had been on the throne for seven years. Until now, the harem had been empty. Memorials urging the emperor to take in beauties were sent one after another, but Shang Junlin just ignored them. The ministers had already given up hope. One day, during the court session, Shang Junlin suddenly decreed that the son of Zhenbei Hou should enter the palace.
After Shang Junlin ascended the throne, his behavior became more and more ruthless. No one dared to provoke him. Count Zhenbei did not even dare to ask. He hurriedly returned to his residence under the envious and jealous gazes of his colleagues.
Other than Shen Yu, Duke Zhenbei also had a concubine-born son. Although Dahuan was popular in the south, there was no such thing as the eldest son of the first wife marrying someone else. Logically speaking, the one entering the palace should be Duke Zhenbei's concubine-born son. However, this concubine-born son had a good mother, Madam Ru. She whispered pillow talk in Duke Zhenbei's ear and moved his heart. Thus, the one entering the palace was replaced by Shen Yu.
No one expected that Count Zhenbei could really send his only legitimate son into the harem. Shen Yu, who was told the news, was so angry that he fainted directly.
Shen Yu remembered that there was such an incident in his previous life. However, at that time, he was not willing to accept Count Zhenbei's obvious favoritism. He schemed to make Madam Ru go for wool and come home shorn. In the end, the one entering the palace was his younger brother. In his second life …
Count Zhenbei was still talking non-stop. He knew that this matter was difficult for Shen Yu to accept. It was true that the harem of the current emperor was empty. However, it was also true that the emperor was temperamental and bloodthirsty. Shen Yu was the eldest son of the first wife of Count Zhenbei. If he did not enter the palace, he could also have a bright future. On the contrary, if he entered the palace, it seemed that he could be favored, but no one knew what the emperor was thinking.
After listening for a while, Shen Yu felt more and more bored. How could Count Zhenbei not know the danger of entering the palace? He just didn't care. Compared to his own future, a son that he did not care about since childhood was nothing.
"I know." He interrupted Count Zhenbei. "Father, you said so much just to let me enter the palace. Okay, but I have a request."
Count Zhenbei did not expect that Shen Yu could figure it out so quickly. He was stunned for a moment and then said, "Say it."
"There is a servant girl in my yard who has dirty hands and feet. Since father is here, help me deal with her." Shen Yu was lying on the bed. His tone was unclear.
"If there is a problem with the servant girl, you can deal with it yourself. Why do you ask me to do it?" Count Zhenbei did not understand why the topic suddenly jumped to dealing with the servant girl. He was slightly confused.
His eldest son had always had his own ideas. He had always dealt with similar matters by himself. It was the first time that he asked for help. For a moment, his mood was somewhat complicated.
It involves Madam Ru. Of course, you have to deal with it. Shen Yu thought that in this life, he chose to enter the palace by himself. However, it did not mean that what Madam Ru and her son did could be written off.
"Young master, the medicine is here." The servant came in with the medicine.
The smell of medicine filled the air. Count Zhenbei frowned and stepped aside to let the servant bring the medicine to Shen Yu. "You drink the medicine first. If there is anything else, we can talk about it later."
Shen Yu's body was not good since childhood. Drinking medicine was a common occurrence. Smelling the medicine, he took the medicine without changing his expression. He picked up the spoon and gently stirred it.
Count Zhenbei saw that Shen Yu was holding the medicine without drinking it. He frowned even more. Just as he was about to say something, Shen Yu had already put down the spoon.
The spoon and the medicine bowl collided, making a crisp sound. Shen Yu's cold voice sounded at the same time: "Bring in the people outside."
Two servant girls were brought in. One of them was holding a medicine jar in his hand.
Count Zhenbei did not understand: "What is this?"
"Father, you might as well let them talk about what they did." Yun Luo looked at the people kneeling below with a smile.
Count Zhenbei's line of sight moved to the two servant girls. The two servant girls were not old. The younger servant girl's face was full of confusion. The other servant girl's expression was somewhat thought-provoking.
It was fear, trembling, and bewilderment.
Count Zhenbei's expression became serious: "Speak, what did you do?"
It seemed that he was asking the two of them, but his eyes always fell on the servant girl who had an uncomfortable expression.
The servant girl, Chun Yu, lowered her head and glanced at the young man who was half leaning on the bed. When she met the other side's emotionless eyes, she hurriedly looked away.
"This, this servant didn't do it on purpose. It was Madam Ru who used this servant's family to threaten this servant and let this servant add something to the young master's medicine," Chun Yu said while constantly kowtowing, "This servant didn't do it willingly. I beg Count Zhenbei, young master, please understand and spare this servant's life."
Count Zhenbei couldn't help but look back at Shen Yu. His son didn't seem to be surprised by this result. His eyes were half closed, and his expression couldn't be seen clearly.
Count Zhenbei turned back and sternly said: "You know, slandering your master is a serious crime! You said that Madam Ru threatened you to drug the young master. Do you have evidence? "
"This servant doesn't dare to lie," Chun Yu's forehead was already bleeding from kowtowing. Trembling, she took out a jade bracelet from her bosom and held it above her head with both hands, "This was given to this servant by Madam Ru."
Count Zhenbei tilted his head. The attendant behind him stepped forward to take the bracelet and respectfully presented it to Count Zhenbei.
It was a high-quality jade bracelet. It was far from what a servant girl like Chun Yu could afford. Count Zhenbei's eyes were sharp, and he recognized that this jade bracelet had once appeared on Madam Ru's hand.
"If father doesn't believe me, you can find a doctor to examine the medicine." Seeing Count Zhenbei's hesitation, Shen Yu said.
Since he was going to make trouble, Shen Yu naturally made preparations in advance. That servant girl had been ordered by Madam Ru to tamper with the medicine not once or twice. In his previous life, when he discovered it, his body was already half empty. After being reborn, the first thing Shen Yu did was to order people to find Chun Yu's family members who were under Madam Ru's control. Then, he waited for Chun Yu to make a move.
As for how to make Chun Yu bite back against Madam Ru, since Chun Yu was willing to drug him for her family, naturally, she could also turn her sharp blade against Madam Ru for her family.
The moment he saw the bracelet clearly, Count Zhenbei already had a conclusion in his heart. He looked at his eldest son and suddenly realized that he seemed to have never recognized him clearly.
"What do you want?"
"Shouldn't I ask you this question, father? Son only hopes that you can handle it impartially. Son is about to enter the palace. I believe that father also doesn't want son to enter the palace with resentment against the Count's fu." Shen Yu threw the question back.
Count Zhenbei had doted on Madam Ru for more than ten years. Shen Yu wanted to see what choice Count Zhenbei would make compared to his own future.
"By the way, father, don't let me wait for too long. I hope that you can give me a satisfactory answer before I enter the palace." Shen Yu looked at Count Zhenbei with a faint smile. Count Zhenbei obviously looked sick and weak, but people who looked at him felt cold.
There were still more than ten days before he entered the palace. Shen Yu didn't want to drag this matter until after he entered the palace. The reason was that Shen Yu occupied the position of the eldest son of the Di Family. These years, Madam Ru had secretly done many things. If it wasn't for Shen Yu's vigilance, she would have already succeeded.
Count Zhenbei looked at Shen Yu with a heavy heart. For a moment, he felt that he almost didn't know this son of his. He suppressed all kinds of thoughts in his heart and nodded: "If this matter is really related to Madam Ru, I will not tolerate it."
Count Zhenbei left with two servant girls and the medicine jar. Not long after, Shen Yu received the news that Count Zhenbei had secretly invited a doctor.
"Why did Young Master give Count Zhenbei full authority to handle Madam Ru? Young Master knew that Count Zhenbei treated Madam Ru …"
Everyone in Count Zhenbei's mansion knew that Count Zhenbei doted on Madam Ru. It could be said that he would give her anything she wanted. If it wasn't for Da Huan's law that prohibited concubines from being promoted, the position of Count Zhenbei's wife wouldn't have been vacant until now.
It was also because of this reason that Madam Ru regarded Shen Yu as a thorn in her side. When Shen Yu was young, he suffered many hidden losses from her.
Slightly raising his head, Shen Yu let the servant girl put on the cloak for him. He hugged the hot water bottle and sneered: "No matter how much Count Zhenbei dotes on Madam Ru, he won't be muddle-headed at this time."
After tightly wrapping himself, Shen Yu went out.
"Shen Yu!"
Shen Yu turned around. When he saw the person's appearance, he was in a daze.
The man was dressed in white and had an outstanding appearance. He was much younger than in his memory. Shen Yu stared at him in a daze as he got closer and closer to himself. All kinds of feelings welled up in his heart.
In his previous life, he had given everything to chase after his lover. In the end, he found out that everything was just a scam. The deep affection was fake. The unforgettable feelings were also fake … Shen Yu would never forget the other person's discomfiture and disbelief when the conspiracy was exposed.
Yes, who would have thought that Shen Yu could be so crazy. He could turn the situation around at the last moment. On the eve of his ascension, he could also drag someone into the abyss.
"Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?"
The man in white had a gentle expression and his eyes showed just the right amount of concern. When Shen Yu saw this, he only felt that it was funny. A dignified prince didn't hesitate to lower himself to be friends with him. He used gentleness to weave a net of deception in the name of love just to trap him. It was no wonder that in his previous life, he had fallen head first into it.
However …
