Shen Yici: Humph, bad guy, ignore the bad guy!

"Okay," Yun Shuyue closed the military book and sat down on the chair, stirring the snow pear soup with a spoon, "Since you won't call me, I can only drink it myself. It smells so good."

Shen Yici wiped his saliva, moved next to her, poked with his two index fingers, and hung his head.

"Call me sister, or I won't give you any food."

"Boom~"

Yun Shuyue's pupils trembled, and the spoon in her hand fell into the bowl. She lifted the man onto her lap and stuffed the spoon into his hand, "Eat it."

Shen Yici was visibly happy. He scooped a spoonful of pear soup and handed it to her lips, then pinched her face and forced her to drink it in a domineering manner.

Having tasted the sweetness, whenever he wanted something, he would just give Yun Shuyue a kiss on the face, and it always worked.

"After drinking the sweet soup, play for a while and then lie down on the bed, okay?"

Shen Yici nodded, drank the pear soup, and played for a while. Yun Shuyue took him to the toilet, rinsed his mouth, washed his face, and covered him with a quilt. She left the side hall only after confirming that everything was correct.

In the middle of the night, there was a loud thunder. Shen Yici was suddenly awakened from his sleep. He hugged the pillow and shivered. He curled up in the quilt and patted his back. Don't cry, don't cry. Aci is a good boy. A good boy can sleep alone even when there is thunder.

"Rumble..."

Shen Yici kicked the quilt away and ran to Yun Shuyue's bedroom barefoot and holding a pillow. Aci is not a good boy and cannot sleep alone.

The lights were on in the bedroom. Yun Shuyue was still leaning against the head of the bed reading a military book. The door was suddenly pushed open. She looked up and saw him standing outside the door barefoot, holding a pillow in his arms. His eyes were red, and it was obvious that he had just cried.

"Are you scared by the thunder?" Yun Shuyue hooked her finger, "Come here."

Shen Yici walked over quickly and came to her side. Yun Shuyue had already opened the quilt, took out a handkerchief to wipe his feet, and wrapped him in the quilt, "Go to sleep."

Shen Yici clung to her tightly, as if he felt safe only when he was with her.

The thunder continued until dawn because someone was being tossed and turned to fry fish until dawn.

When Shen Yici woke up, Yun Shuyue had already left the court and the room was empty. He hugged her pillow, smelled the faint fragrance on the pillow, and crawled into the quilt again.

"I heard that you left the city yesterday and brought someone into your princess's residence? What was the reason for you leaving the city yesterday?"

"Yesterday I went to the prison to check the roster and found that someone was missing. After some questioning, I learned that it was the legitimate son of Marquis Yongping who was missing. I went to the manor where Marquis Yongping sent him. The people there said that he was starved to death three years ago. Since he was already dead, I came back. On the way back, my horse lost control and injured the man. I wanted to compensate him with some silver and give him proper treatment, but..."

"but what?"

"He is an orphan, without a father or a mother, and has no blood relatives in the world. I felt sorry for him and took him back to the princess's mansion because he was so young."

"Can you find out his background? No one with unclear background can enter the princess's mansion."

"I have found out everything. Don't worry, father. I know what's going on."

Yun Min nodded, "I have always trusted you to do things. Now that Yongping Hou is being executed in the autumn, and Nanxi is flooding, who do you think I should send?"

"I dare not speak nonsense."

"I allow you to speak nonsense, do you have a suitable candidate in mind?"

"My eldest brother, Yun Yichen, is about to reach adulthood. If he can handle the flood in Nanxi well this time, father will give him a small official position, which will also shut up the Sun family. If he can't handle it well, father can use this as an excuse to give him a small punishment."

"Your brothers are not as good as you in terms of literary and military skills. If they were half as smart and courageous as you, I would be able to relax a lot and hand over the affairs of state to them without worry." Yun Min felt pain in his heart when he thought of his sons. "I have been feeling a little tired these days. No matter what I do, I am unable to do it. I am really old."

"Starting tomorrow, help me deal with the memorials. If you can't make up your mind, come to the palace and find me. I will teach you personally."

"My son, I obey."

"Cough, cough, cough..." Yun Min covered his mouth and kept coughing, as if he wanted to cough out his lungs. "You should go back first. I don't need you to serve me here."

"My son, please retire."

"High as the sea."

"The old slave is here."

"Starting tomorrow, all memorials will be sent to the Princess's residence for the eldest princess to review."

"Your Majesty, this is impossible. The princess is a woman. If the ministers knew about this..."

"What I want is for them to know," Yun Min's eyes were deep, "Yun Shuyue is backed by the Lin family, the only family that can compete with the Sun family. I will give her power and magnify her ambitions. When she is truly second to none, she will reveal the truth about Lin Xi's death. She will definitely become an enemy of the Sun family."

"When she and Sun Zhengliang are both defeated in the fight, I will sit back and enjoy the benefits," Yun Min picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Fortunately, she is a woman. No matter how powerful she is, she can't cause any trouble. After all the problems are resolved, I will spare her life for her dedication to eliminating dissidents for me."

"The Sun family has been extending their reach over the years, from the former dynasty to the harem. It's time for me to cut them off, cough cough cough..."

"Your Majesty, I will ask the imperial physician to diagnose your pulse."

"A bunch of rubbish," Yun Min picked up the teacup in his hand and threw it on the ground. "A month has passed, and I have drunk countless medicines, but I am still not fully recovered and the condition has become worse."

"Your Majesty, why don't you post an imperial edict and search for miracle doctors all over the world to treat you? If they can cure you, I will reward you with an official position or gold and silver treasures. Your Majesty is the king of a country, and the dragon's health is the most important."

"You go and take care of it." Yun Min pinched his brows, feeling tired and heavy.

I no longer have the energy to worry about these things.

"Why did His Majesty suddenly ask you to review memorials? Hasn't His Majesty always been on guard against you?" Chang Li was really puzzled. She didn't believe that the old emperor had changed his nature overnight.

"Have you ever heard of the saying, 'When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits'?"

The corner of Chang Li's mouth twitched. Wasn't he afraid that he would end up losing both the wife and the army?

"Some people always like to treat others as fools, thinking that they are the one who has complete control over the chessboard. However, playing chess is fun only when you meet a worthy opponent, and it is the most interesting to turn the tide against the odds. Whatever he gives me, I will take it. After careful selection, there will always be something I need. Let's go back home."

"Tanghulu, selling Tanghulu, five cents a string, Tanghulu, sour and sweet Tanghulu..."

Yun Shuyue lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and said, "Changli, buy two strings of candied haws."

When Changli handed the candied haws to her, Yun Shuyue only took one string and then she started eating it consciously.

The bright red hawthorn is coated with a layer of sugar and sprinkled with some white sesame seeds. It is sour and sweet and tastes really good.

When they returned home, Shen Yici was still lying on the bed, hugging her pillow and crying. No matter who tried to comfort her, it was useless. If anyone touched him, he would hit that person on the head with the pillow. No matter what anyone said, it was useless.
