Chapter 44 Distress

Applying for an expatriate assignment was fruitless, Shen Hui didn't pursue the title of Inner Minister, and let him go.While Rong Yu breathed a sigh of relief, he immediately ordered Lin Sheng to go back to the mansion to get the pearl hairpin.

He was a little suspicious of Fang Yu earlier, but the result of Lin Sheng's report was that Fang Yu had forgotten all about the pearl hairpin. on the shelf.But when Rong Yu suddenly asked for this pearl hairpin, she showed panic, and kept asking if she should not accept the gift from the third wife of the first assistant.

Rong Yu didn't care to appease Fang Yu's emotions, and looked at the hairpin, which was not expensive, but it was decorated with a crested head, but the pass was there, and when it was rotated, the Yanyin was hidden inside.

There are only ten sheets of paper that are light and fluffy, but there is a heavy oppressive feeling in their hands.

Rong Yu handed Yan Yin over to Lin Sheng temporarily, and told him to wait for the buyer to come to his door, and let him keep an eye on him. When the person who connected with him showed up, he immediately ordered someone to investigate secretly, and he must find out the details of the Changlu businessman.

After explaining this, he couldn't help feeling that the whole process was a bit powerless.Right now, all he can rely on is the ministers sent by the Rites Superintendent to various places. When it comes to investigation, none of them are professionals.

Thinking of this, I feel more and more that I, the so-called close minister of the emperor, is really a bit stretched.

When the weather got warmer in April and it was the time of the year when flowers and leaves were luxuriant, Shen Hui had never been able to stay idle. Because he was delayed all winter when talking about his riding and archery skills, he ordered people to arrange the Nanyuan neatly and prepare for it. For hunting purposes.

Fortunately, the emperor was driving in Nanyuan, and Rong Yu, as his retinue, had to follow step by step.Nanyuan was originally a royal hunting ground, with undulating and lush mountains and a lake. From a distance, the lake is emerald green, and the sun shines on it, reflecting golden awns.

There are birdsong echoing in the foothills, and it is full of spring when you look up, which makes you feel good.This time the hunting was at the emperor's pleasure, no nobles from the clan were invited, and Shen Hui was the imperial bodyguard in the paddock, so it didn't seem so noisy.

Shen Hui's horse raced very freely, and when he slowed down a little, he casually glanced back, followed by a flattering compliment, "I have improved a lot in riding, but I don't know if I can look at archery."

These words are naturally spoken to you. It is a pity that he is a servant who entered the palace since he was a child. Apart from studying for a few years, he spent the rest of his time learning the rules of serving others. How could he have the opportunity to learn archery? If it weren't for Wang Yue Ken taught, he still can't figure out how to put an arrow on a bow.

Shen Hui is a child of elementary school, every move reveals a sharp posture, and he draws a bow and arrow on horseback, which has a kind of vigorous beauty.A line of sweat flowed down the sideburns, and when it was illuminated by the sun, it reflected a dazzling halo.

The young emperor is full of vitality, handsome, lively and heroic, with a vigorous posture, strong and tight muscles, and lean strength in every gesture.

Ke Rongyu looked at his appearance today, but had an intuition in a trance, as if he was going to spend his youth heartily for the last time before his big wedding - it was a bit like a bachelor's party in the future.

Reminiscent of his attitude towards Qin Ruozhen, I feel even more confused.

The affectionate interlocking fingers at that time should be true; it is also true that I ordered myself to write as a ghostwriter in the past, full of perfunctory disdain for wasting time.

So does he love or not, the woman who is about to become his wife?As a bystander, he can't guess it, and I'm afraid only he himself knows it.

Rong Yu silently followed behind him. When he raised his eyes to look at him more than looking at the road ahead, it was purely subconscious and natural. When he realized this, Shen Hui had already hunted around the paddock, and began to be dissatisfied with Rabbits, foxes and other things that the guards drove over waved their whips and said loudly, "Go to the mountains."

There may be wolves in the mountains in spring—for no reason, Rong Yu thought of this sentence inexplicably, but before he could utter the words of persuasion, Shen Hui had already gone far away.

After a quarter of an hour, Rong Yu understood what it meant to make a promise come true.Accompanying Shen Hui to drink horses and change clothes by the stream, the two of them really encountered wolves.

Because Shen Hui was sweating a lot and the wind was strong in the mountains, Rong Yu urged him immediately to ask if he wanted to change clothes and take a rest to prevent him from catching a cold.Just when there was the sound of gurgling water, Shen Hui immediately nodded in agreement.A group of people galloped to the water's edge, Shen Hui sent off the guards and asked them to wait at a distance, and only two people, Rong and Rong, dismounted and changed their clothes.

Rong Yu took out the clean clothes and took off his sweat-stained clothes for him before putting them on. He vaguely heard a strange movement behind him, like a muffled growl coming from his chest.The horse beside him neighed suddenly, and four or five wolves rushed out from the forest suddenly.

Shen Hui reacted quickly, drew out his accompanying sword and slashed at the wolf's head, beheading the first one.Unexpectedly, the wolf was going towards the horse, but when he saw his companion's head was in a different place, he immediately changed his target and rushed towards the two of them viciously.

Seeing that there was no time to escape, Rong Yu immediately turned around to get the bow and arrow on the saddle, and suddenly shot two wolves in the eyes indirectly. The wolf was completely enraged, whimpered, and shot straight at Shen Hui.

Like dew like lightning, but with a flash of thought, Rong Yu rushed forward and pushed Shen Hui away, ignoring any respect, and shouted in a low voice, "Let's go."

Looking back, the wolf was already very close, its hind legs kicked hard and jumped upwards, its sharp teeth were like nails, firmly embedded in his left arm holding the bow.

Flesh and flesh made the sound of being ground under the sharp teeth, blood spilled out, instantly staining his sleeves red, Rong Yu gritted his teeth and raised his right arm, thrusting the arrow in his hand into the artery on the wolf's neck. The spring surged and splashed in all directions, but in the blink of an eye, Rong Yu seemed to be covered in blood.

When the guards heard the sound of fighting, they finally came at a gallop, and immediately arrows rained down, killing the remaining wolves on the spot.

Everyone got off their horses and rushed to see Shen Hui. Seeing that the emperor was fine, they kowtowed to the ground in a hurry, and no one had time to accommodate him for a while.A few guards caught sight of him, and were immediately stunned by the blood gourd-like appearance, thinking that this man would not survive, but after a while they saw his body swaying, his legs bent, and he fell to the ground.

Rong Yu's arm was seriously injured, but his body was a little thinner, his daily nutrition was not balanced, and most of them still had symptoms of anemia. Now he lost a lot of blood, and he was a little dizzy.

Just now when he was in danger, he had no time to panic, and he didn't realize his fear until the danger passed. He felt a burst of sharp pain in his arm, and he thought vaguely, there was no tetanus shot here in ancient times, and he didn't know if he would die from the infection. His vision was gradually blurred by blood, and amidst the scarlet, he saw a person with the same color on his face approaching, hugged him, and held him in his arms.

The bodies fit together, and the touch felt very solid and tough, which seemed to be a good support. He closed his eyes in a daze, and the last sentence he vaguely heard was a low, eager voice, calling for forgiveness.

The endless darkness is just strange. When people fall into it, their minds seem to be clearer than ever.

He remembered that he had become a servant in this parallel time and space, and if he died at this time, it could be considered a blessing.Maybe he can return to the original world, his body will be complete, and his mind will probably be free.

It's a pity that he will always bring suffering to others, and in that world, no one seems to need him.

Just as he was struggling with what to do, a thought came to his mind suddenly and strongly, he didn't want to die!The past is over, the past can't be recovered, he wants to live, even in this world it doesn't matter.Life is not too bad, at least there are people who care about him, and treat him better than others...Maybe he will have his own property, a family, and a few friends, and he can earn money by his own efforts. Out of a world...

After being in a coma for two days, he gradually opened his eyes, and his first reaction was to look outside to check whether he had signs of photophobia.

Fortunately, he saw the bright palace, and the spring was just right outside. He let out a breath, heard a familiar voice, and asked in a cold tone, "I want to know, when will he wake up?"

A servant looked over to the bed, and he recognized it. It was Wu Bao who was serving in front of the imperial court, so he wanted to call him out, but Wu Bao's eyes widened, as if he was about to cry, and said in a trembling voice, " Your Majesty, he has woken up with the palm print."

Shen Hui's face appeared behind the curtain. He raised the half-covered bed curtain, frowned deeply, and stared at him with a frightening look, as if he wanted to embed his face in his eyes.

Seeing him staring back in a daze for a while, Shen Hui's mouth slowly curled up into a smirk, and he didn't say much, he just raised his voice and ordered the imperial physician to come over to check his pulse.After the imperial physician reported that the fever had subsided and the injury was fine, the good student would recover within three to five months, so Shen Hui waved everyone away.

Not far away, Rong Yu heard him pause, then called Wu Bao, "Bring me the warm porridge."

There was no one else in the hall, Rong Yu looked at the pattern on the curtain and recognized that he was in the side hall of Qianqing Palace, but he didn't quite understand why he was moved here.

The curtains were completely lifted, and Shen Hui sat by the bed, staring deeply, and was also deeply silent.I don't know whether it was because he didn't believe the doctor's words, or because he wanted to break the embarrassment. After a long time, he reached out and touched Rongyu's forehead, and finally showed some satisfaction, "Sure enough, the fever is gone."

Rong Yu moistened his lips, "Your Majesty, I'm fine now."

"I know," Shen Hui smiled, and he didn't show any apprehension to thank him, nor did he respond with immediate gratitude, nor did he feel annoyed at all. He moved his gaze to the side and landed on his arm tied with a splint, "Will this happen?" How do you feel, does it hurt a lot?"

Glancing at the bandaged left arm, Rong Yuyan replied insincerely, "It doesn't hurt much, thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

Shen Hui nodded, "Well, you haven't eaten for two days, and you can't hold on anymore, so use some porridge."

As he spoke, he was about to help him up, but the movement of reaching out his arms to embrace him was very jerky, and Rong Yu quickly avoided it, "I can sit up by myself."

Shen Hui froze, and his face darkened.Seeing him propping up with his right arm, rubbing upwards little by little, he sweated a lot due to the high fever for two days and two nights, and he didn't eat anything. His thin and thin body had long lost strength, but a simple movement, It was difficult and slow to do.

After sitting up anyway, Rong Yu leaned against the bare head of the bed, and just wanted to say how good it would be to bring that pillow, but after thinking about it, he swallowed the words.

Knowing that he can't take care of people at all, what else can you ask him to do?Unexpectedly, Shen Hui actually remembered this incident, and put the pillow on him, and then looked left and right, seeing that his posture should be comfortable, and then sat down with a straight face.

Unexpectedly, the next move made him jump in surprise, Shen Hui picked up the bowl and blew on the porridge, then scooped up a spoonful and put it directly to his mouth.

Is there no one in Qianqing palace?Why does he have to do these things himself, Rong Yu thinks that after today is over, he doesn't know how many opportunities he will find to beat him, and how many words he will leave behind when he thinks about feeding himself again.

"Let it go, Your Majesty, I'll do it myself."

The bowl was not put down, but the eyelids were drooping. Shen Hui wanted to reprimand him, but when he looked up, the face of the person in front of him was so white that it was almost transparent, his lips were bloodless, his cheeks were sunken, and his entire face was only as big as a slap , showing a gentle charm in the eyebrows and eyes.

Suddenly his heart softened, and Shen Hui said bluntly, "I want to feed you today, because you saved your life because of your meritorious service, only this once."

It was only then that Rong Yu remembered that the injury was blocked for him, even so, he didn't feel at ease at all.Thinking back to that moment, in the blink of an eye, it seemed that he had scolded him, and he couldn't help but panic for a while. He lowered his eyes, and his pointed jaw trembled slightly.

"At that time, I didn't intend to lose my dignity. I hope the emperor will forgive me if the matter is urgent."

Shen Hui smiled, and the memory of looking back at that moment, and the sound of walking away, had already been imprinted in his mind. In just two days, he did not know how many times he had experienced.It is true that the scolding was true, but the tone was anxious and tense, entwined with concerns that cannot be ignored, so it should also be true—it erupted just at the critical moment.

Even though she could sacrifice her life for him, she still wanted to leave him to avoid disaster.It is said that it is difficult to have both in the world, but he just wants to let him know that staying by his side can also be safe.

Shen Hui's mood was fluctuating, but his expression was still indifferent, "I ordered people to cook this Gorgon porridge specially, use more, you like to eat this, don't you?"

Seeing that the spoon was all raised to his mouth, he had no choice but to eat it, but when he heard this, Rong Yu was surprised, "Yes, the emperor is so caring, I am very grateful."

Shen Hui held back his laugh, and asked lightly, "The situation was critical at that time, but you didn't think about running away by yourself, what was it for?"

for what?Rong Yu can't tell, anyway, if he runs away, he won't survive. In times of crisis, he abandons his lord and ignores him. Being caught and brought back is not a dead end.But the behavior at that time was more like a subconscious reaction, only feeling that the person behind him seemed to be more important than himself.

Really brainwashed, so servile.Rong Yu lowered his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, or, after watching his heroic appearance for a long time, he was fascinated by ghosts.

He did not hesitate to admit that he missed Shen Hui and had nostalgia for him, even in his dream just now, he would miss this person.But these are all inhumane words, it's his own business.It is instinct to have feelings for an outstanding person, but fortunately, it can be restrained with reason.He has never been an impulsive and reckless person, not to mention that the other party is an emperor and is about to marry his wife. Even if Shen Hui does not reject Nan Feng, a servant is nothing more than a plaything to him.

Thing, thinking of this word, I feel a chill in my heart, he can't let himself be reduced to that level.

"The emperor is a king. I said that I would like to repay you with all my heart. I can't just ignore the threat of the emperor."

Shen Hui's hands were slightly choked, and he squinted his eyes and asked, "You are heartbroken? So you are doing it to repay your kindness?"

Rong Yu said yes, "The emperor has the grace of saving his life and knowing him, and he will try his best to repay the emperor's kindness in his life."

You should be satisfied by saying this, but not, Shen Hui's face was so dark that no expression could be seen, and then he just didn't say a word and focused on feeding, staring at him coldly, as if he was dissatisfied or because Disappointed and angry.

Rong Yu had just woken up, his stomach had been empty for two days and still needed to get used to it, he was feeding him one spoon at a time, making him almost out of breath.

"Your majesty... I'm full, I really can't eat anymore."

With malice full of revenge, Shen Hui's tone was full of temptation, "No, I eat too little, and I'm too thin to look good. Eat up this bowl, or I will punish you."

Literally speechless, Rong Yu glanced at him, lowered his eyelashes, and continued to eat the bowl of porridge.

However, the style of the downcast eyes was delicate and docile, and the eyelashes fluttered slightly, which made the apex of the heart tremble.
