"Ah—" Zhao Ying yelled at him sharply, staring at him with her eyebrows raised, as if she was going to bite him if he said anything else the next second.
It's been a long time since I've seen her look so lively.
Shangguan Shu smiled lovingly upon seeing this and couldn't help but confess, "Zhao Ying, I love you."
Zhao Ying was startled for a moment, then looked away, curling her lips in a faint smile, "I love myself too."
"Pfft..." Shangguan Shu covered his lips and laughed softly.
Zhao Ying saw him smile, and the smile on his lips gradually spread. She said softly, "Judging from the way you smile, your injury is almost healed, right?"
Shangguan Shu seemed to have just realized what was happening. He immediately put away his smile, frowned, and coughed lightly, "Ahem... Yes, I should be fine..."
Zhao Ying stared at him with disdain for a long moment, then coldly issued an ultimatum, "Since you're well again, bid farewell to the Emperor tomorrow and return home to recover!"
Shangguan Shu heard this and looked at her aggrievedly. Seeing that she was indifferent, Shangguan Shu took a deep breath and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay..."
Zhao Ying nodded with satisfaction and left.
The next morning, Zhao Ying heard that Shangguan Shu had packed up early and went to the Yangxin Palace. He thought that Shangguan Shu was obedient this time. However, before he could warm to this thought, a group of people carried Shangguan Shu back, led by Wu Yonggui. The old eunuch's face was very ugly.
As soon as he entered Guangming Hall and saw Zhao Ying, Wu Yonggui stamped his feet and said, "Your Highness... The prince is your savior after all. Even if you don't consider this for the sake of the children, you should at least consider it for the sake of saving your life!"
Zhao Ying blinked in surprise, and her gaze shifted from Wu Yonggui to Shangguan Shu who was carried in. Shangguan Shu had his eyes closed and his brows furrowed. He was wearing a pear blossom white robe that he had just changed into early in the morning, and he looked so cool and elegant under the clear breeze and bright moon.
There was a large amount of blood on his chest, and Shangguan Shu was still mumbling something. Zhao Ying leaned over to listen, "I am fine... I am fine... It has nothing to do with Your Highness... It has nothing to do with Your Highness..."
Huh——
The anger rose from the soles of Zhao Ying's feet to the top of his head. Zhao Ying was dumbfounded and forgot to move for a moment.
Wu Yonggui was still talking, "Tsk tsk, the prince is so sick that he's confused... He said he was fine, but when he coughed, he vomited blood. His Majesty was so scared that he quickly summoned the imperial physician to examine him. It turned out that the knife wound on his chest had festered..."
"Your Highness, His Majesty has said that the Crown Prince shouldn't be moved in this condition. He'll probably have to stay in your Guangming Palace for a while until his injuries heal. If you can't keep the Crown Prince, then His Majesty will have no choice but to take him to the Yangxin Palace, where he'll take care of him. After all, a father pays a daughter's debt. The Crown Prince was injured because of you, and he has to give an explanation to the Duke of Zhenguo!"
Wu Yonggui came and left in a hurry, as if he had dropped a hot potato.
Zhao Ying really suspected that her father and Wu Yonggui were afraid that Shangguan Shu would kill them...
Zhao Ying stood there, motionless. The early spring breeze was a little chilly, but not as chilly as her heart...
The young eunuch asked weakly, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince...should he be carried in?"
Zhao Ying closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and clenched her fists into sharp angles.
Finally, she said calmly, "Carry it in!"
The young eunuchs carried Shangguan Shu in. Zhao Ying looked at him with narrowed eyes and smiled sinisterly.
When Shangguan Shu woke up again, it was already afternoon. The sun was setting in the west, and the sky in front of him was yellow and orange. Shangguan Shu felt a tightness in his chest and a coolness on the wound. It must be because the medicine had been applied and the wound was bandaged.
Shangguan Shu looked at the scene in front of him again. Well, it was Zhao Ying’s bedroom. He, Shangguan Shu, was back again!
It's no wonder that he ruptured his wound overnight hahahaha...
"woke up……"
Shangguan Shu was startled when he heard the voice, and then he felt a chilly and eerie breath surrounding him. However, the next second, he found out the reason for this discomfort... Who stripped him naked, leaving him with only his underwear?
Shangguan Shu shrank back, and slowly shifted his gaze to the source of the sound beside him.
He laughed dryly, "Ying... Ying'er..."
Zhao Ying sneered, "What a trick! Shangguan Shu, since you're doing it on the first day, don't blame me for doing it on the fifteenth!"
"Ying'er, what are you saying? I don't understand..." Shangguan Shu pretended to be stupid.
As soon as he finished speaking, his face was covered by a pile of cloth. The smell of the cloth was not very pleasant. Shangguan Shu endured the pain and slowly stood up, grabbed the cloth and looked at it carefully, then his expression froze.
Zhao Ying raised her eyebrows in satisfaction.
Shangguan Shu grabbed the eunuch's uniform and swallowed, "Ying'er, what do you mean?"
"What do I mean? Since you insist on staying here, you have to listen to me! You have to do whatever I tell you to do. If I don't put clothes on you, you have to be naked. I don't keep idle people in the Bright Palace. Since you insist on staying here, you have to be my steward!"
Zhao Ying sat down slowly, took a sip of tea, and said sarcastically, "Shangguan, put it on!"
Shangguan Shu looked at her in disbelief. Let him become a eunuch? Even if he wasn't castrated, it would be too detrimental to a man's dignity. He didn't want it!
He wants to be her man, not her eunuch!
Shangguan Shu threw the eunuch uniform aside and said firmly, "I don't want it!"
Zhao Ying stood up, stood in front of Shangguan Shu, and sneered, "I think you don't understand your situation yet. It's not your turn here!"
Shangguan Shu found this amusing and challenged him with a smile, "What if I refuse to wear it, Your Highness, what can you do to me?"
Zhao Ying chuckled, then raised her hand, "Bring the man up here!"
Shangguan Shu was stunned when he heard this. Who, who should be brought up?
Is Zhao Ying going to threaten him with someone?
Shangguan Shu was just wondering, when the next second he saw the palace door open and Nanny Li came in holding a "prisoner" and put her on the ground.
When Shangguan Shu saw who the criminal was, the corners of his lips twitched.
The young prisoner was wearing only a white prison uniform, her hair was loose, her hands were tied behind her back with chains thicker than her wrists, and she had a sign on her back saying she was a death row prisoner.
The little prisoner knelt down obediently the moment he entered. He was a tiny little thing, looking at Shangguan Shu with a grin on his face, about to cry, but his eyes were filled with joy and excitement. [Hehe… Daddy and Mommy want to play house with me. It’s so fun! What was I supposed to say? Oops, I forgot my lines…]
Shangguan Shu: ...
Shangguan Shu looked at the mother and daughter in front of him helplessly.
Shangguan Qingyue glanced at Zhao Ying, who silently reminded her. Shangguan Qingyue understood immediately, "I remember, I remember!"
The next second, Shangguan Qingyue raised his head and cried to Shangguan Shu, "Daddy, save me! The big devil mother wants to chop me down..."
"Shangguan Shu, if you don't wear it, your daughter will be in trouble!"
Zhao Ying slammed the table heavily.
Shangguan Shu: ...Not your daughter?
Seeing Shangguan Shu didn't respond, Zhao Ying gave her a strong dose of medicine. "First, I'll stop her from feeding at night!"
Shangguan Qingyue's eyes widened when she heard this. She was filled with anxiety and fear. She begged Shangguan Shu for help, "Daddy! Please save Yue'er. Yue'er can't live without grandma to drink!"
"Daddy, Daddy, can you bear to wean your smart and lovely daughter?!"
