Chapter 288 Talking about business in the lotus pond?
But now, seeing him wearing the same color clothes as that day, his heart couldn't help but get restless again.
He is now a man who has half a foot in the earth. If he dies like this without being able to spend a good night with the white moonlight in his heart, he will always be unwilling.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Yu walked for a while, and saw that the right prime minister did not catch up. He turned around and saw him staring at him blankly, so he called out.
The right prime minister suddenly came back to his senses, pulled his lips apart, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth, "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered some past events."
"Past events?" Shen Yu raised his eyebrows, "Your concubine?"
Hearing this, the right prime minister could only nod.
Then he said, "Do you remember the teahouse where we sat when you first came?" The
Right Prime Minister suddenly changed the subject. Shen Yu was puzzled, but still spoke, "What's wrong?"
"At that time, you said that the lawn should be dug into a pond and planted lotuses. I have dug a pond and planted lotuses according to your instructions, and also bought a few families' land in the back to expand the lotus pond a lot. Now the lotus is in full bloom, why don't we go there to talk about business?"
Hearing this, Prince Yu was a little surprised, "I just said it casually, I didn't expect you to really dig a pond and plant lotuses?"
"Your words, in my heart, are like an imperial decree, and I will naturally do it."
The Right Prime Minister bowed slightly, raised his eyes and looked at Shen Yu, and his voice was full of flattery.
But that imperial decree-like words still made Shen Yu happy.
"Well, let's go to the lotus pond."
At this moment, Shen Yu had forgotten about the business.
The Right Prime Minister happily took Shen Yu to the lotus pond and called the servant to whisper a few words.
Shen Yu didn't care about this. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the lotus pond in front of him.
The breeze blew, and the whole person was instantly surrounded by the fragrance of the lotus.
Shen Yu had been entangled with too many troubles recently, and this rare feeling of relaxation and happiness was much greater.
"Your Highness, I have also put a small boat in the pond. You can drink tea, admire the lotus, and talk about things in the lotus pond. I wonder if Your Highness would like to go?"
Hearing this, Shen Yu just opened his eyes and looked at the river pond. Sure enough, there was a boat parked. The people on the boat saw Shen Yu looking at him and hurriedly bowed. "Hello, Your Highness."
The man slightly turned his head, and Shen Yu saw that there were tea sets, fruits, etc. on the boat.
In the past, his favorite thing was to taste tea.
Because his master told him that tea tasting could make him put down his impetuousness, impatience, and ambition.
So he brewed tea, tasted tea, admired flowers, and practiced calligraphy every day. Finally, he cultivated a gentle and elegant demeanor. When people saw him, they couldn't help but feel close and respectful.
He also won the hearts of many women because of this.
However, all this changed after Lin You betrayed him.
Lin You, this woman, plucked his hair again and again, broke his mentality again and again, and ruthlessly tore his temper, which he had cultivated with great difficulty, into pieces bit by bit, turning him into a madman.
Lin You, wait, when I come to power, I will definitely tear you apart bit by bit, step on you, press you under my body, and cry and beg me.
In this game, even if I die, I will drag Lin You and Shen Jing'an with me.
If only the master could come back, then we would definitely win.
"My Lord, are you thinking of any old friends?"
The Right Prime Minister spoke when he saw a flash of longing and sorrow in Shen Yu's eyes.
From beginning to end, his eyes never left Shen Yu.
It's just that Shen Yu thought too much and didn't notice his abnormality at all.
The boat moved slowly in the river, and the lotus flowers around it were blooming one after another, which was extremely beautiful, just like a group of young girls in their prime, showing off their beauty.
The fragrance on the boat added a very beautiful artistic conception.
"Well, I remembered my master."
Shen Yu took another sip of tea, "If my master comes back, then this Dasheng will be 100% mine."
"Then where did he go and why didn't he come back to see you?"
The right prime minister had never heard of Shen Yu having a master, so he was surprised when he heard it.
"I don't know." Shen Yu shook his head, "He said he left because of something urgent, and he didn't leave any contact information. Over the years, I have ordered people to look for news about him everywhere, but there is no clue."
"In the past few nights, I don't know how many times I have dreamed that he came back, but every time I woke up with joy, it was just a dream."
The right prime minister poured him tea and comforted him, "He is so good to the prince, I believe he will come back one day. Maybe he was held back by something and didn't come back."
Shen Yu drank another cup of tea, as if drinking it like wine, "If possible, I hope that Master will be able to come back in the next few days."
"Then why don't you go to the Dali Temple to pay your respects?"
Shen Yu glanced over, and the right prime minister hurriedly added: "It is better to believe it than not to believe it. Don't you think the queen mother believes this very much?"
"Besides, the emperor has indeed looked much better in recent days."
"Even the fourth prince's voice has improved."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yu's eyes could not help but sparkle.
Perhaps, he should really go to the Dali Temple to pray.
Thinking of this, he drank another cup of tea, but he felt that this tea was a little sweeter than before, which made him drink a lot without realizing it. On the other hand, the right prime minister did not drink a single sip.
Maybe because he saw that he liked to drink it, the right prime minister did not dare to drink it.
"Tell me about your concubine."
At this time, Shen Yu finally remembered the business.
The right prime minister paused, and finally asked about this topic.
"Actually... my concubine didn't die of illness from falling into the lake."
Seeing that the right prime minister was stammering, Shen Yu's eyes became sharp, "So, how did she die? Were you beaten to death?"
"That's not the case."
The right prime minister waved his hands repeatedly.
"Why is that?"
Shen Yu's tone became cold.
In his eyes, the Right Prime Minister was actually a very honest minister. He really couldn't imagine what he could do.
"In fact, my concubine is not the same as ordinary women."
Hearing this, Shen Yu's pupils shrank slightly. "Does she have any hidden identity?"
Right Prime Minister, "No."
"Just say it directly. I don't have the patience to listen to you nagging here."
Shen Yu's temper came up again.
The right prime minister hurriedly said: "Don't be angry, Your Majesty, I will tell you now, but I hope Your Majesty will be mentally prepared."
"That's right, my concubine is a hermaphrodite."
"Hermaphrodite?" Shen Yu frowned, "What do you mean?"
"She is a woman, but she also has a man's."
Shen Yu frowned even deeper. After a long while, he finally understood what this meant, and then his pupils suddenly shook, "Really?"
"How dare I deceive Your Majesty."
Shen Yu, "So the Minister of the Central Secretariat said that your concubine had been to brothels and prostitutes' houses because of this?"
"Yes."
The right prime minister nodded.
Shen Yu was stunned.
