Chapter 101 He was fine, but suddenly went crazy
Because of the continuous winter rain, hunting had to be put on hold temporarily.
When Cheng Shuyi returned home at noon to cook for her two children, she found that the guards at the door were still there and the door was open.
The three men were idle at Cheng's house, each doing their own thing.
Pei Yanli handled court affairs in the west wing. If the emperor messed up, he had to help clean up the mess.
As for the Emperor...
Standing under the eaves, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, I felt a melancholy all over my body.
Mo Xiao took the unfinished puzzles from each period to the main room to complete them.
The atmosphere in Cheng's house was quiet and eerie.
At least that's what Cheng Shuyi saw.
"Didn't you go hunting?"
When Cheng Shuyi reached the door of the west wing, Pei Yanli had already put down what he was doing and was walking towards her.
"Are you back?" Pei Yanli saw that she was holding a live fish and said, "Let's have fish for lunch. I'll go light a fire."
Cheng Shuyi would buy fish and meat if they were fresh in Shengjing City.
People have to see that she buys groceries and makes a living just like everyone else.
Food doesn't just appear out of thin air.
Cheng Shuyi was a little embarrassed, "I didn't know you were still home, I only bought one."
Mo Xiao has a big appetite, and adding Sheng Hong to the mix will definitely not be enough.
Pei Yanli took the fish-threading rope from her hand and took a special look at Sheng Hong who was under the eaves.
"Don't worry about them. No one wants to eat at the minister's house."
Sheng Hong is really hard to coax this time.
Pei Yanli gradually lost his patience and deliberately provoked him: "If all else fails, just put a knife to his neck and force him to return to the palace and continue to be the emperor."
Although he said this, he actually felt sorry for Sheng Hong in his heart.
Being an emperor is not free.
He would be confined in that palace for the rest of his life, with the common people in front of him and the royal court behind him.
His body seemed to be tied up with thousands of ropes, and he could be pulled by someone at any time, and pull others in.
In order to maintain balance, you cannot relax for a moment.
It would be strange if Sheng Hong wasn't crazy!
"Being an emperor, with all the beauty in the world, second only to the emperor, and with the power of life and death at your fingertips, isn't that great?"
Cheng Shuyi beat a big bowl of eggs. There wasn't enough fish, so he used eggs to make up for it.
Pei Yanli helped out, "That was a tyrant emperor. Zhongyi wouldn't even dare to crush an ant to death."
"No wonder."
Cheng Shuyi divided a bowl of eggs into two parts, one scrambled eggs and the other steamed egg custard.
"There's a reason why the three of you, the emperor and his subjects, can play together. You play the villain, General Mo plays the peacemaker, and the emperor plays the little white flower. This combination is very stable."
The only rumor among the people was that the Regent was extremely powerful and looked down upon the government, making it seem as if even the emperor was afraid of him.
It turns out they are all character settings.
No wonder Cheng Shuyi and Pei Yanli have been together for so long. Except for the beginning when she thought he was a little fierce, she always thought he was a good person.
He even condescended to light the fire for her.
Cheng Shuyi put lard into the wok and fried the eggs. "Your Majesty, have you been suppressed for too long? Do you need a long vacation?"
"Who wouldn't go crazy if they stayed at their workstation all day? Even the emperor is no exception."
He spent the whole day going back and forth between the Qing Palace, the Yangxin Palace, and the Imperial Study, saying and doing the same things.
Seeing Sheng Hong's class smell, Cheng Shuyi wanted to follow suit.
So, she suggested, "Your Highness, if it really doesn't work, you can go on a private visit with the Emperor and take him out for a walk."
"If you stay in an environment you don't like all the time, be careful that the emperor won't have any bad thoughts."
Pei Yanli had thought about taking him out of the palace for a walk. Didn’t they make an appointment to go hunting today?
It’s just that the weather is bad and the rain hasn’t stopped yet.
"Half a year ago, the emperor's incognito tour would not have been opposed by his ministers, but not now."
Pei Yanli said: "With the Prince of Yan rebelling and the Imperial Examination Hall incident, anyone can relax at this time, except Zhongyi."
"All the eyes of the civil and military officials, and the people of the world, were on him. He could not move."
The two were chatting in the kitchen.
Suddenly Mo Xiao's voice was heard, startling the two of them.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing!"
Cheng Shuyi and Pei Yanli were both startled when they heard the sound. They dropped the firewood and spatula in their hands and ran out.
It was discovered that Sheng Hong had taken off his robe at some point and was standing in the rain wearing only a golden undergarment.
The rain soaked his whole body and froze his face purple.
Pei Yanli's face darkened, and he walked over quickly with a feeling of disappointment. Together with Mo Xiao, he carried the man into his room.
Cheng Shuyi didn't follow him, but turned into the kitchen to change the pot and boil water.
She felt that... Sheng Hong was probably depressed.
After carrying Sheng Hong into the room, Pei Yanli stripped him without saying a word and changed him into his dry clothes.
Mo Xiao, who was always cheerful, now had a gloomy face and used a towel to wipe Sheng Hong's hair.
He wiped it while cursing, "As a grown man, why can't you just say it? If you get yourself soaked and those old foxes in the court find out, you'll have to go to the imperial mausoleum to apologize to the late emperor!"
"Even if you don't go to the Imperial Mausoleum, you'll still have trouble with the old empress dowager."
Although Sheng Hong had the two of them supporting him in the court, they were powerless against the Empress Dowager.
When the Queen Mother scolded people, Pei Yanli would hide away from her.
Pei Yanli didn't curse, but he was worried.
Cheng Shuyi put the hot water at the door, "Your Highness, I put the hot water at the door, the meal will be ready soon."
Pei Yanli went to bring in hot water, threw a towel into the basin, and said angrily: "Wash yourself!"
Sheng Hong said nothing, silently wiping his face and soaking his feet to warm up his body.
He knew he had done something he shouldn't have done.
But at that time, he didn't know why he did such a thing. When he realized it, he was already soaked.
The two kids went home after school at noon.
Cheng Shuyi brought several large plates of food to the table.
During the meal, the atmosphere was much more relaxed because there were two children present, and no one mentioned what had just happened.
It was Sheng Hong's first time to eat Cheng Shuyi's cooking, even if she made the simplest lard scrambled eggs, steamed egg custard, dry-fried fish, or a large plate of garlic lettuce.
He didn't even take two bites of the fried fish, but he was already satisfied and drank two bowls of rice.
During the lunch break, Sheng Hong did not leave.
He and Qiqi shared a bed for a nap, and Xuxu went to sleep in Cheng Shuyi's room.
Mo Xiao stayed in the west wing.
Cheng Shuyi and Pei Yanli did not sleep. They were warming themselves by the fire in the kitchen and chatting about what had happened to Sheng Hong.
"Your Highness, there's a saying in our place that if a person is under high pressure for a long time, or has too many worries, or grew up in a repressive environment, they will become sick."
"This disease is called a person who is perfectly fine, but suddenly jumps into the river."
"He was fine, but suddenly he went crazy."
"He was fine, but suddenly he started behaving abnormally."
Cheng Shuyi looked at Pei Yanli and didn't say it directly, but his meaning was very clear.
She cannot criticize the emperor.
Pei Yanli understood what she meant. In fact, he had already guessed it in his heart.
"So, what do you think we can do to make him better?"
"Vent first, go crazy."
Cheng Shuyi threw a piece of firewood into the stove and said, "Release the negative emotions. If it doesn't work, take medicine."
"How to go crazy?"
Pei Yanli had never heard of this treatment.
Cheng Shuyi was really stumped by the question. She blinked and said, "How about letting him jump off the mountain and try?"
