Shen Yu’s heart burned with impatience. He wanted to write an explanation to Zhenbei Wang that Emperor Ye had only gotten lost in the manor’s grounds, and wandered into Shaohua Pavilion by accident. They weren’t fooling around. All those scattered footprints were from trying to prevent Emperor Ye from going inside.
But Zhenbei Wang was holding him too tightly. Even his hands were restrained and unable to move.
And even if he did write it out, Zhenbei Wang might not believe it.
“Don’t forget that I was the one who granted you a title. You belong to me, don’t even think about having other thoughts!” As he said this, Zhenbei Wang had already torn away the rest of Shen Yu’s clothing. Taking out his own excitement, he shoved it inside of him. Shen Yu held onto the table and tried to shy away, but was held down forcefully by Zhenbei Wang.
—
The manor’s troops for the winter hunt gathered in the training grounds along with the royal guards, ready and waiting.
Zhenbei Wang sat on top of a black stallion. This horse was different from others; its lengthy mane flowed behind its neck, and its legs were longer than that of a normal horse, looking strong and sturdy. Its dark color made a stark contrast to the winter snow. Snorting occasionally, its hooves clattered on the ground. The other horses all kept their distance.
“Xuanxiao! I’ve arrived late!”
Xiao Xiye rode a burgundy horse with a matching set of armour. Behind him followed a white horse, on top of which sat the Princess.
Zhenbei Wang’s expression turned cold when he saw the Princess.
“Dairou has been cooped up in the manor for too long, so I decided to bring her here to relieve her boredom. It’s been a long time since us siblings have reminisced about old times. Xuanxiao, you won’t mind, right?”
Unexpectedly, the Princess said nothing, acting virtuous and gentle.
“Fine.” Zhenbei Wang’s lack of opposition made the Princess smile in surprise.
“Thank you, my Lord!” The Princess said gratefully. “I’ve known how to ride a horse since I was young, so I won’t be a burden to my Lord. Where is Concubine Yin?”
The Princess pretended to look around in surprise.
“Are you eager to bring him along?” Zhenbei Wang asked.
“Of course,” the Princess said with a smile. “Concubine Yin is my Lord’s favourite. If my Lord is happy, then I’m happy. Besides, he’s never had the chance to go outside of the manor. My Lord, do you really have the heart to keep him locked up like a canary?”
The Princess’ smile was generous and kind. An outsider would think that words like these surely prove her to be the proper first wife of the household.
“You sure do care about him.” Zhenbei Wang said mockingly.
The Princess was a little embarrassed, and said, “I’m just thinking of my Lord. After all, you’ll be gone for at least a few weeks. The manor now is messy and crowded. If Concubine Yin is uncomfortable, my Lord will surely worry as well.”
Zhenbei Wang narrowed his eyes. How could he not know that the events of last night were arranged by Emperor Ye and the Princess? They had an eunuch commit a theft to attract his attention, and sent the Princess to call Song Qing away. In the meantime, Emperor Ye took the opportunity to visit Shen Yu.
It was not this easy to fool Zhenbei Wang. It was likely that Emperor Ye saw Zhenbei Wang arrive, and left in a hurry.
Shen Yu was too innocent. Even though Zhenbei Wang had ordered Shaohua Pavilion to be closely guarded, how could Shen Yu be any match against the schemes of the royal siblings? Hearing the Princess’ words just now, Zhenbei Wang couldn’t help but waver. Leaving Shen Yu at the manor may not be for the best. It’s better to keep him close; at least if Emperor Ye tries something else, he’ll be close by to look after him.
Zhenbei Wang ordered Song Qing to arrange a carriage to bring Shen Yu to the training grounds.
As soon as Shen Yu alighted from the carriage, Emperor Ye spoke first in a loud and clear voice.
“So you’re Xuanxiao’s Concubine Yin! Please excuse my rudeness last night. Thank you for bringing me inside to take shelter.”
