So dazzling, arrogant, and seemingly never caring about him.
The army outside had already surrounded the mansion in layers upon layers.
Chi Yuan was completely at ease, and even had the leisure to adjust the direction of his head.
"Why isn't my good brother making a move? Is it because he can't bear to, or because he's afraid?"
"This is the only chance."
A shard of bronze mirror pierced the skin in his throat, causing a trickle of blood and a slight stinging sensation.
Shen Yulou's hands were already trembling uncontrollably, from a slight tremor to shaking like a sieve.
Are you testing me?
His voice is trembling now.
Before Chi Yuan could answer, the gate was opened by the soldiers outside.
Suddenly hearing a sound outside, Shen Yulou felt dizzy and his pupils began to dilate.
The tension that had been building in my mind finally snapped, and as soon as I let go, my head fell straight down.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
In a daze, he heard General Yan's concerned words, and he was pulled away from Chi Yuan.
"Summon the imperial physician, His Majesty is bleeding."
"So much blood!"
A chaotic scene of fighting ensued, with metal weapons clashing.
And finally, his sentence.
"I have been ordained by Heaven to rule the four seas. However, the Prince of Jin harbors treacherous intentions and plots rebellion, attempting assassination multiple times. His actions are heinous and unforgivable."
"Considering his kinship with the imperial family, he is spared death but demoted to commoner status and imprisoned in the Prince of Jin's residence. Without my order, he is not allowed to leave the residence even half a step; those who disobey will be severely punished."
"I hope all ministers will take this as a warning, be loyal to the emperor and love the country, and not repeat the mistakes of the Prince of Jin."
In his dream, Shen Yulou saw ministers kneeling and shouting "Long live the Emperor!" in a neat and orderly manner.
I dreamt of the imperial physician bandaging his wounds, and I dreamt of the scene where the Prince of Jin's mansion was still heavily guarded after Chi Yuan left.
In the end, everything vanished into nothingness and darkness.
When I opened my eyes again, my head was throbbing with pain.
The Prince of Jin's mansion, once filled with countless treasures, is now desolate and empty, with the gauze curtains on the windows still fluttering like wandering ghosts.
Only one eunuch, Fuquan, who had been by his side since childhood, remained by his side to watch over him.
"Your Highness? You're awake?"
Fuquan's eyes were red, and his voice still trembled with tears, as if he had been crying for a long time.
Shen Yulou nodded and subconsciously moved his hands and feet.
The sprained wrist has been reset, but it is not fully healed yet; even slight movement can cause a stinging pain.
The swelling on my brow bone has subsided by more than half, and it feels cool to the touch, so I think I've applied some medication.
"hiss!"
Shen Yulou struggled to sit up.
First, he cursed the original owner's ancestors for eighteen generations, saying that the original owner had enjoyed all the benefits, but now he had to bear all the consequences.
I cursed Chi Yuan again. Although he was not wrong, I still couldn't swallow my anger.
Damn it, I'll find another chance to beat him up and make him cry and apologize to me.
As soon as he gets into his bed, kick him off! Don't even think about getting near his bed!
"Alright, stop crying, you're not dead yet, are you?"
"Being alive is already a great blessing."
Shen Yulou comforted the heartbroken Fuquan.
"Yes, Your Highness, please don't do anything foolish again."
"Please do not offend His Majesty any further."
"I know."
Shen Yulou nodded weakly.
“I have harmed Your Majesty so many times, yet Your Majesty spared my life. It is Your Majesty’s mercy that I have done so.”
"I won't do it again."
"Really? Your Highness, you've finally come to terms with it."
Fu Quan was overjoyed and kowtowed to Shen Yulou while shedding tears.
"Alright, alright, Fuquan, go out and let me rest in peace."
Shen Yulou dismissed everyone and leaned against his pillow, contemplating the future.
We need to find a breakthrough, otherwise we won't be able to get in touch with Chi Yuan at all, let alone make him feel something for us.
This is really tricky.
Shen Meiren had a headache, and after thinking about it for a while, she couldn't help but fall asleep again.
Forget it, let's find the answer in our dreams. Daydreaming is faster.
