057.Aphrodisiac

Liang Shenyu went to the battlefield when he was only thirteen years old. He stabilized the situation and killed the rebellious generals. Over the years, he managed the Jinbei cavalry very well. Those veteran generals did not dare to disobey him, which was enough to show that he was quite capable.

Naturally, he was able to handle these trivial matters in the court with ease, much faster than Rong Se, and he would talk to him from time to time.

Rong Se lazily leaned on the rattan chair, and after eating the grapes, he began to study his own recipe.

He is not exaggerating, just looking at the dishes of Dajin, you can tell what level they are just by looking at the so-called state banquets. They are far inferior to his.

Although Rong Se does not have any great ambitions, cooking is indeed a hobby that he has persisted in for more than ten years. It is like a part of his life. After becoming the Regent, he needs to rely on cooking to make himself clear about who he really is.

He is just a cook, a cook who likes to cook, not a powerful regent who carries hatred.

"It will be cold in a while." Rong Se suddenly said, "Let's brew some rice wine when we get home. We can drink it when it gets cold."

Liang Shenyu raised his head with interest, "Does the prince also know how to brew wine?"

"I know a little bit." Rong Se said modestly, "I have learned a little bit. The osmanthus flowers in the palace are about to bloom, so I can make more osmanthus wine. Your injury is almost healed, right?"

Liang Shenyu nodded, "It's no big deal."

Rong Se nodded, turned to the seafood section on the menu and looked at it carefully.

"Then these can be eaten too." Rong Se touched his chin.

Many of the dishes on his menu are nothing special in his original world, but here they are all tributes from foreign countries. As a result, the dishes of Fu Sheng Lou are naturally limited.

But Rong Se was happy to see this happen.

He had to keep some tricks up his sleeve; the chef at Fu Sheng Lou wasn't yet at the point where he could teach him everything he knew.

With Liang Shenyu's help, Rong Se had more time to spend on his own recipes. While thinking, he suddenly heard Liang Shenyu say, "I ruined the prince's business that day. What does the prince want to do now?"

"It's not a bad thing." Rong Se said calmly, "I am branded as a regicide, and even if I become the emperor, I can hardly stop the world from talking about me. Besides, I've already told you that I don't want to be an emperor. As for what I want to do——"

"If you have a grudge, take revenge; if you have a grudge, complain."

Liang Shenyu smiled and shook his head.

He had some guesses about Rong Se's identity. Although he didn't know how he used someone else's trick, he must have a reason for being so obsessed with the Regent King.

"If you give the order, I will avenge you."

Liang Shenyu was always accustomed to speaking in a gentle voice, but the words he said were far from gentle.

Rong Se was silent for a moment, and finally raised his head. "What Rong Jing did cannot be compensated by a thousand deaths. And his father died too easily. It is not difficult to kill them, but I want them to be spit on by thousands of people, and what they did must be known to the world. In this way, they will die a worthy death."

The tone of his voice and the look in his eyes were as cold, and his disgust and coldness didn't seem fake, showing how much he hated Rong Jing and Cao.

Liang Shenyu sighed: "What can I do to help?"

Rong Se thought about it and actually remembered something.

"The old eunuch Zheng Fu, who served Rong Xu, was hidden by that old bastard Cao Lun. We have been looking for him for two months but still can't find him. I don't know where they hid him."

"Zheng Fu?" Liang Shenyu pondered, "Did he know the inside story of the late emperor's death?"

Rong Se closed his eyes and nodded.

Rong Xu's death was naturally related to him. Zhao An was instructed by the original owner, but if Empress Dowager Cao had no intention of killing Rong Xu, the original owner would have been helpless.

After all, the original owner handed over the knife, and Queen Mother Cao killed people. Why should he, Rong Se, take the blame?

Liang Shenyu asked tentatively: "Then, are you ready to take action?"

"It was all done by Queen Mother Cao." Rong Se glared at him. "I just had some thoughts. They didn't kill Zheng Fu but kept him alive. The family of the imperial physician Zhao An is also alive and well. According to the Cao family's style, they would not have been able to cover up the regicide in time. How could they leave anyone alive? What do you think Cao Lun wanted to do by keeping these people alive?"

Liang Shenyu concluded: "The disaster water was diverted eastward."

Rong Se sneered: "I will not take the blame for this."

"Then..." Liang Shenyu asked with a smile, "How did the prince know that Zheng Fu was still alive?"

Rong Se choked, "I..."

yes.

How did he know?

The original work!

Although the love line is off-center and reveals many hidden secrets not mentioned in the original novel, at least the general direction is correct.

The old eunuch Zheng Fu must still be alive. Rong Jing and Cao Lun have been living peacefully these days. He must be trying to use the ancestor worship ceremony to get angry.

Rong Se thought for a moment and said vaguely, "Anyway, I know that Zheng Fu is definitely alive, but Yun Chu and the others haven't found out where he is."

Liang Shenyu knew that this was a serious matter. After a moment's thought, he said, "This is a serious matter. If the Cao family really wants to use this as an excuse to cause trouble, they will definitely hide the person well. Don't worry, I will help you find him."

Rong Se guessed that this person's next step was to ask for a reward. Just as he was thinking of a countermeasure, he saw Liang Shenyu suddenly stand up, his face suddenly turned cold and sharp, and he shouted in a sharp voice: "Who? Get out!"

Rong Se jumped up in an instant, very nervous: "What's going on?"

There was already the sound of weapons outside, and the man in black broke into the room. Yun Chu chased him in and shouted, "There's an assassin! Protect the prince!"

Liang Shenyu stretched out his hand and pulled Rong Se behind him, then took two steps back and drew his sword from the weapon rack. The sword shone three feet long and was filled with murderous aura.

Before he could make a move, the assassin seemed to see that the situation was not good and shouted loudly: "Retreat!"

Liang Shenyu frowned and said to Yun Chu, "Protect the prince well."

Then he picked up his sword and chased after him.

In a hurry, Rong Se only had time to remind: "Liang Shenyu, be careful!"

Liang Shenyu's figure disappeared into the night.

He originally thought that someone had come here to gather information, but he did not expect that someone was so bold as to take the opportunity to assassinate the Regent, so the Black Wind Evil Spirit chased after him.

The more he chased, the more puzzled he felt. Not only was the assassin very fast, but he was also very familiar with the palace. He had already run a long way in twists and turns. When he chased him to a remote courtyard, the assassin disappeared.

Liang Shenyu stopped here, rubbed the hilt of the sword with his fingertips, and squinted his eyes at the lighted courtyard in front of him.

"I see." Liang Shenyu murmured, "The drunkard's real interest is not in the wine."

Now that he was here, Liang Shenyu simply put the sword on his arm and went in with the sword.

There was no one in the yard, only the lights were on in the house. Liang Shenyu pushed the door open and walked in. A sweet and greasy fragrance suddenly filled his face, mixed with vulgar and seductive scents. With a light sniff, Liang Shenyu felt his body getting a little hot.

Although Liang Shenyu had never used it, he had heard of those messy things circulating in the market and was speechless for a while.

Someone deliberately led him here and lit a room full of aphrodisiac incense. It is self-evident why.

Liang Shenyu licked the corner of his lips with some regret.

If the incense was lit by the prince, he would definitely be disrespectful.

Although he thought so in his heart, he did not retreat. Instead, he walked forward a few steps calmly, went to the table, opened the incense burner, went closer to sniff the intoxicating sweet fragrance, which aroused his desire and even his eyes were filled with intoxicating charm.

"Good stuff." Liang Shenyu whispered to himself.

“It’s good stuff.”

Another voice suddenly rang out.

Liang Shenyu turned his head to look, and saw Rong Jing walking out from behind the screen. The two looked at each other, and Rong Jing was the first to retreat.

After a short confrontation, Liang Shenyu felt bored.

Even though the room was filled with aphrodisiac scents and he was already aroused, Rong Jing's every move still kept him calm.

If it were the prince...

Just his presence there was enough to make one's heart flutter.

"Your Majesty really thinks highly of me." Liang Shenyu's cheeks were clearly flushed and his desire was hard to quench, but he remained calm and open-minded, with clear eyes. He lifted the lid of the incense burner with the tip of his sword, "Is this prepared for me?"

Holding a sword in front of the emperor was a crime of great disrespect, but Liang Shenyu acted nonchalant and clearly did not take it seriously.

Rong Jing's face flushed slightly. He was naturally affected by the aphrodisiac fragrance here. He took a step forward unconsciously and said in a hoarse voice: "Shuyun, I just want you to know that I can give you what the emperor's uncle can give you. Why bother to fight with a tiger? Come back to my side, and you will definitely be honored to a position above everyone else in the future."

Liang Shenyu held his sword across the two of them, clearly not intending to have anything to do with Rong Jing. He smiled and said, "That's not necessary. But Your Majesty has done me a big favor. Your Majesty is reserved, and I am compassionate and cannot bear to offend you. With this fragrance today, I'm sure Your Majesty will not leave me alone."

Rong Jing was stunned, a little bit unbelievable: "What did you say?"

Liang Shenyu sneered: "I am a human being. I can control myself even when I am emotional. Your Majesty thinks that this incense can accomplish anything? How can you know--" He slowly exhaled the burning breath and stood up straight, "The prince is many times more powerful to me than this incense."

Hasn't he endured it all these days?

Rong Jing covered his chest and took two deep breaths, his eyes fierce, "What's so good about him? Liang Shuyun, how can I be inferior to him?!"

Liang Shenyu looked at him with calm eyes. This was undoubtedly the greatest humiliation. Even in a room filled with aphrodisiac incense, Liang Shenyu remained indifferent to him, and his mind was always on Rong Se.

"He is the regent." Liang Shenyu thought of Rong Se and whispered with some obsession: "His birth was criticized and he had no help from his mother's family, but now he is the regent with power over the government and the country. And your majesty - you have a noble status and your mother's family is powerful, but you are still an emperor who is suppressed and cannot rule. Your majesty still thinks that he is not as good as you?"

Rong Jing choked up. He was being tortured by the aphrodisiac incense, but he didn't dare to get close to Liang Shenyu's sword. He gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "So what? He is a traitor and a thief. Everyone can kill him!"

Liang Shenyu's eyes were cold. "But he worked hard for the people, and the people of Jizhou worship him as a god."

After he finished speaking, Liang Shenyu took a breath. His breathing had become a little short. He had wasted all this time talking to Rong Jing simply because he didn't want to hear him slandering Rong Se. That was enough for him to say.

"That's it."

Liang Shenyu smiled and said amiably, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your presence today. I will take my leave now."

He walked quickly and steadily. When Rong Jing caught up to the door, he had already disappeared into the night. But Rong Jing was in a very desperate situation at the moment and did not dare to call the secret guards to stop Liang Shenyu.

I could only watch him leave with the fragrance all over him, feeling angry and hateful.

What is this?

Did you make a wedding dress for Rong Se? !
