For nearly a month, the palace seemed to have lost the Concubine Yin, but an unknown muted slave appeared. He wakes up early and stays till late night, half of the palace’s dirty and tiring work was done by him. His body was as thin as bamboo, one touch would be enough to make it fall, but it seemed to have endless strength.
After folding up the clothes that were sent that day, Shen Yu bagan to pack up his things.
“Oh, he’s right here.”
Hong Lian walked into the woodshed room, followed by a man. Shen Yu recognized him, he looked after the local hot spring. He was addressed as Sun Lao Liu…
“The Concubine Yin.”
Sun Lao Liu bowed to him, looking loyal and honest.
Shen Yu tilted his head, realising that the title of “the Concubine Yin” will never be heard again.
“His majesty ordered me to fetch you, he awaits you.”
“He awaits me?”
Shen Yu recalled the dark valley in the garden, filled with mist in thin air, it was where he met the Zhenbei Wang for the first time. It was also the place where Shen Yu gave himself to the Lord wholeheartedly. Performing intimacy in those waters. It only happened a few months ago, but for Shen Yu it felt like years had passed.
Zhenbei Wang suddenly wished to meet him at the hot spring, did he recall the joy of being with him again?
At the same time, Shen Yu also wishes to meet Zhenbei Wang once more.
“Lead the way.”
Shen Yu gave out a gesture, but soon realised that Sun Lao Liu was not looking his way. Song Qing was not around, so he had to turn to Hong Lian for help..
……
Hong Lian was admiring his freshly painted nails, while waving impatiently and said: “Let’s get going.”
“Alright.”
Sun Lao Liu bent over and led the way.
Shen Yu picked up his baggage, hugged it close to his chest and followed Sun Lao Liu to the back entry of the palace. He wondered why they used the back entry. Was it a shortcut? Or was it a command from Zhenbei Wang to avoid exposure to outsiders?
Sun Lao Liu prepared a carriage at the back entry of the palace. After assisting Shen Yu onto the carriage, they took off.
Shen Yu has only left the palace once, and it was through Zhenbei Wang’s carriage. Since it was late at night, he wasn’t sure if the road they were on was heading to the hot spring.
……
Hong Lian stayed in the woodshed room for a little while. He rummaged around the room, but didn’t find what he was looking for, so he left disappointedly.
On a whim, Hong Lian roamed around the main room. The room was evacuated. The only room he did not touch was Shen Yu’s previous bedroom. He looked and checked around the area, but found nothing that was valuable.
“Zhenbei Wang has spoiled Shen Yu for some time, are there aren’t even any valuable possessions? Where are all the jewelry and silver tickets?”
Hong Lian’s eyes fell on the closet that Shen Yu used to own..
“That’s it…”
Sure enough Shen Yu’s gold and silver valuables are all in this closet. But Shen Yu did not take any of them with him. Even Hong Lian was stunned.
“There really are fools in the world who don’t love money, cheap slaves, haha…”
Hong Lian grabbed all kinds of beads, jade and gold hairpins from the closet, stuffed them all into his clothes, worried that they would be discovered by Zhenbei Wang. “But of course, Shen Yu that mute will never snitch on me.”
“So many… Surely this is enough for my family to open three luxurious buildings!”
Just as Hong Lian was imagining himself like an old bastard, leading a group of female prostitutes to serve guests, spending money like a dream, he saw something buried under the closet.
It was a jade statue. Hong Lian’s eyes lit up. With one glance he could tell that it was made out of rare and fine jade. But the sculpture was not the Buddha Guanyin, but a fair beauty…
It was Shen Yu!
Hong Lian opened his mouth in shock. He wouldn’t dare to take this. Even if he did, no one in this world would dare to buy it. He may even lose his head if he did.
Hong Lian drooled in jealousy.
That day, Zhenbei Wang rewarded Hong Lian with a jade ring. He wore it in front of Shen Yu, trying to show off his reward. But little did he know, Shen Yu had such a large jade statue!
Compared to that jade statue, his jade was like an iron ring for beggars! He still had the audacity to brag to Shen Yu.
“Song Qing you little… It’s fine that the little mute didn’t tell me, looks like you’re not a good guy after all. Seeing me get embarrassed! You and your master seem thrilled huh?”
The more Hong Lian thought about it, the more furious he got……
“What are you doing?!”
A sudden noise came from behind, frightening Hong Lian causing him to fall off the closet. He almost lost grip of the jade statue.
Song Qing knew what he was up to the moment he saw his chest full of pouches, a pearl necklace was even falling out. Telling himself that this bastard really is a money lover.
“Why would you care?” Hong Lian was mad that he made a fool out of him.
“I’m in charge of the place’s safety, do you wanna taste the feeling of being locked in the dungeon?”
Under the threat of Song Qing, Hong Lian reluctantly took out the things from his clothes and put them back, preparing to come back another day.
“Where’s the Concubine Yin?” asked Song Qing.
“How would I know? Didn’t you grow a pair of eyes on him? What now? Lost your little lover?” Hong Lian rolled his eyes.
“Are you gonna tell me or not?”
Hong Lian held the handle in Song Qing’s hand, picking up his nails and said, “A man called Sun Lao Liu took him away and said that Zhenbei Wang wanted to see him, probably because he misses him, his not yours anymore, don’t even think about it!”
“Sun Lao Liu…”
Song Qing repeated his name silently. He knew everyone in the palace. Suddenly he remembered that Sun Lao Liu used to run errands in the Li Qing courtyard. Later heard that he had done something wrong and was driven away to the Shao Hua courtyard by the princess.
Song Qing’s face suddenly changed, he grabbed onto Hong Lian.
“Did you bring him here?!”
“Uncle Song, you didn’t need to thank me in such a hurry…”
Hong Lian looked into Song Qing’s deathly eyes, shuddered with his neck, and didn’t dare to say another word.
“I just ran into him on my way to the woodshed room.”
Song Qing left Hong Lian and rushed to the Shao Hua courtyard anxiously. How could his majesty summon Shen Yu to meet him this late?
