After tossing for a long time, it was almost dark.Jiang Huamei took the children to have a vegetarian meal. She changed from fidgeting at noon, and her face almost froze with laughter. She didn't think Yu Sheng ate too much, so she went all out to bring him food.

The happier she was, the more unhappy Yu Sheng felt, and the more she ate, feeling anxious while touching her chubby belly.

"Mom, look at my belly!"

Jiang Huamei said: "What's wrong with your stomach?"

"It's so round, does it look like it's seven months pregnant?"

Jiang Huamei smiled and nodded Yu Sheng's head, "You have been here for five months at most."

I'll go, it's only five months old, so when he's about to give birth, he probably won't be able to move, and it hurts to think about it.

Sure enough, he couldn't accept the setting of a man having a child.

Yu Ce didn't drink all day, didn't see the pretty girl, felt uncomfortable all over, and drank clear soup boredly.

Yu Ge was already so tired that he lay down on the ground, leaning against Jiang Huamei and yawning.

Yu Sheng saw Yu Lu sitting alone on the side, deserted and pitiful, and couldn't help but said: "Mother, didn't the old monk say that the third brother is also a brother, you go and talk to him too."

Jiang Huamei glanced sideways at Yu Lu, and said disdainfully, "Just like the third child, he's your brother?"

Yu Sheng bit his chopsticks, "But this is what the old monk said."

Jiang Huamei waved her hand, "The elder is not sure - it is true for you, but not for him."

"..." His old mother really played double standards. "Mom, I don't understand. The third brother and Aunt Xu have always lived in peace, and they don't act like monsters every day like the fourth brother and his mother. They have never done anything wrong with you. Why do you look at me?" Are they not pleasing to the eye?"

Jiang Huamei looked at Yu Lu's handsome profile with cold eyes, and said coldly: "He's not my son, why should I like him? Yes, he's just a bastard, but as long as he lives in the Yu Mansion, no matter how honest he is No matter how inconspicuous it is, it will still divert my child's father's attention. When the family is separated in the future, he will more or less divide up the things that should belong to you and Ce'er. I can't swallow this breath."

Yu Sheng was both surprised and moved.For the sake of her children, Jiang Huamei's ideas are so advanced. Like all modern mothers, she does not want to allocate limited resources to other women and her husband's children, which is completely reasonable.

Yu Sheng didn't want to persuade her any more, so she said coquettishly, "It's alright, then the stepmother will do me a favor."

"You have a good idea." Jiang Huamei feigned anger, "I still have your brother and sister to hurt."

After dinner, it was completely dark.The little monk sent them into the back room, and said: "After nightfall, all benefactors are asked to rest in the room and avoid going out, especially the bamboo forest, and must not be near."

You've already said that, so I'll be sorry if I don't go to the bamboo forest.Yu Sheng pretended to ask: "Why can't you go? We will go during the day."

Yu Ce hugged Yu Ge, who was completely asleep, and explained: "The bamboo forest looks ordinary, but in fact it contains mystery. At night and in rainy days, it is easy for ghosts to hit the wall, and people can't get out no matter how they walk. .”

"I see." Yu Sheng nodded solemnly, "My third brother and I will definitely not go."

Yu Lu was still somewhat repulsive about sharing the same bed with Yu Sheng for the night, but under Yu Sheng's entanglement, he could only half push and half obey him.

The wing rooms in the temple are simple and clean, with a faint fragrance.Yu Sheng took off his coat and shoes and got on the bed, patted the quilt and greeted Yu Lu: "Lu Lu, come quickly."

Both of them had taken a bath together, so there was nothing to be awkward about. Yu Lu calmed down and lay down next to Yu Sheng with his clothes on.

Yu Sheng hasn't slept with anyone for a long time, and Yu Lu has a fresh scent of saponins on his body, which smells really good, reminding him of his little friend in his youth.At that time, as long as she spent the night with her friends, Yu Sheng would have a lot to say, and the two of them kept chatting, from poetry and poetry to philosophy of life, until they couldn't resist sleepiness and fell asleep one after another.

Boys' friendships are that simple.

After lying down for a while, Yu Sheng poked Yu Lu lightly, "Lu Lu, are you asleep?"

Yu Lu closed his eyes: "Fall asleep."

Yu Sheng was silent for a while, "I think you are lying to me."

Yu Lu sighed secretly, opened his eyes, "What's the matter?"

Yu Sheng blinked, "Lulu, do you want to be a brother?"

There was a trace of confusion on Yu Lu's face, "I don't know." All along, he has been busy coping with all kinds of hardships in life, and has never thought about his future. "It's brother, it's an ordinary person, it's not up to us to decide."

"Then if you were brother, what kind of husband would you like to marry? You can think about it now."

Yu Lu stopped talking, trying to outline the image of a man in his mind, but he couldn't imagine it.He asked Yu Sheng: "What about you?"

"Me?" Yu Sheng shook his head, "I'm definitely not brother."

"If you are an ordinary person, you will marry a woman or brother in the future. Have you ever thought about what they look like?"

Yu Sheng squinted his eyes and looked out the window. He seemed to see a familiar silhouette slowly emerging in the dark night sky. He immediately stopped imagining, and Ma Jingtao roared in his heart: "Stop thinking, Yu Sheng, whoever is the bright moon in the sky and the moon on the ground?" Dear Jiaohua, you can't flirt with anyone else if you flirt with him!

"Oh...I'm so bad!" Yu Sheng suddenly rolled on the bed, almost pushing Yu Lu down, Yu Lu was a little depressed, "Second brother, are you still sleeping?"

Yu Sheng wrapped herself in the quilt, only showing a pair of dark eyes, "Lulu, don't sleep, let's talk later." I will take you to save my future husband later.

Yu Lu got up before dawn today. He was too sleepy after traveling all the way, but he still cheered up and chatted with Yu Sheng.

The dew was heavy at night, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and Yu Sheng's voice became ethereal. Just when he was about to fall asleep completely, he suddenly felt a whirlwind.

"Lulu, Lulu!" Yu Sheng shook Yulu and said excitedly, "Don't sleep, the moonlight is so beautiful, let's go out and enjoy the moon!"

Yu Lu looked out the window in a daze, a flash of white light pierced the sky, and rushed down from the clouds to the edge of the sky.In an instant, the room was reflected like daylight.

Yu Lu was silent for a moment: "The moonlight is good?"

Yu Sheng smiled awkwardly and politely, and then he remembered that his brother and brother-in-law first met on a stormy night.

In the book, Yu Sheng was extremely upset when he heard the old monk prophesy that Yu Lu would also be a brother, and thought about hitting Yu Lu well to let him know who is the boss.He heard that ghosts would hit the wall in the bamboo forest on rainy nights, and ordinary people would not be able to get out after walking all night, so he lied that his jade pendant was accidentally lost in the bamboo forest, and threatened Yu Lu to go to the bamboo forest in the middle of the night to find a jade pendant that did not exist at all. .

If it wasn't for the death of Yu Sheng in the original book, Yu Lu wouldn't have met the eldest prince, and he wouldn't be a brother in the world in the future.In this way, to a certain extent, Yu Sheng is the matchmaker between Yu Lu and the First Prince.

"I just remembered that the sachet you gave me seems to be missing, maybe it was accidentally dropped somewhere," Yu Sheng said, "You can look for it with me."

"But it's going to rain heavily outside soon. And it's just a sachet. If the second brother likes it, I'll ask my mother to make another one for you."

"How can it be the same! That sachet is the first gift you gave me, and I will take it into the coffin."

Yu Lu's eyes seemed to be looking at a mentally retarded person, "Are you really going?"

Yu Sheng nodded firmly, "Yes."

Yu Lu turned around silently, leaving him with a back view, "Then second brother, go, I'll go to bed first."

"..." It seems that his plan to favor his younger brother is not completely useless, Yu Lu is so spoiled that he dares to say "no".It's just that his "no" was a bit out of date.

After thinking about it, Yu Sheng decided that for his younger brother's lifelong happiness, he could only sacrifice himself and go all out first.

"Third brother, your temper has grown in the past few days, and you still dare to disobey my orders." Yu Sheng's milk was fierce, "Do you know that it will not end well if you fight against me!"

Yu Lu froze for a moment, then sat up slowly, "So what will the second brother do to me?"

Yu Sheng was stopped by the question, thought for a while, and said fiercely: "Think about what I did to you before, and I will ask you if you are afraid!"

"Scared." Yu Lu lifted the quilt and got out of bed, "Let's go."

Yu Sheng: "???"

"Aren't you going to find a sachet?" Yu Lu said, "I'll accompany you."

Yu Lu didn't look like he was giving in to the power of lust, and Yu Sheng felt like he was pampering him a little bit.

Just half a step out of the house after they got dressed, another thunderstorm fell from the sky, making Yu Sheng's ears numb.Immediately afterwards, soybean-sized raindrops fell one after another, and there was a tendency to pour down.Yu Lu opened his umbrella, "Let's go."

Yu Sheng was about to get under the umbrella when she suddenly heard a voice: "Where are you going?"

The clothes on Yu Ce's body were wet, and he obviously rushed back from the rain, and he was still holding the wine jar in his hands.

Yu Sheng smiled slyly, "Brother, Buddhist Holy Land, why are you still drinking?"

Yu Ce glanced at the wine jar in his arms, quickly hid it behind his back, and said nonchalantly, "What are you talking about? It's raining too much, I can't hear you clearly."

"Then go back and rest."

"Wait." Yu Ce grabbed Yu Sheng, "You two want to go out? Don't you see it's raining?"

Yu Lu said lightly: "Second brother said he lost something, and he wants to go out and look for it."

"Now?" Yu Ce laughed, "Xiao Shengsheng, are you crazy or stupid?"

"It's none of Big Brother's business." Yu Sheng said angrily, "Big Brother, go back quickly."

"As the so-called elder brother is like a father, I have the responsibility to take care of you two when my father is away. Tell me, what treasure did the second brother lose and have to brave the rain in the middle of the night to find it?"

Yu Lu said: "My mother made the sachet."

Yu Ce: "...What pouch?"

Yu Sheng couldn't help but argue for himself: "That's not an ordinary sachet! It was given to me by my third brother. In addition to spices and medicinal materials, it also contains our strong brotherhood!"

Yu Ce looked at him worriedly, "Sheng'er, are you alright? Come on, let my brother touch his head to see if he has a fever."

"I'm just going to look for it!" Yu Sheng poked his neck and said, "Don't stop me!" At this time, the eldest prince has almost been assassinated, and if he doesn't take Yu Lu to save others, "Brother Hou Fu" The male protagonist in this book is probably going to be slightly injured and become seriously injured. In the end, he lost too much blood and died in the bamboo forest.

Yu Sheng also thought about whether to tell Yu Mengqing about the assassin, and then ask Yu Mengqing to tell the eldest prince.But he couldn't explain why he knew about this, and the Yu family would also fall into the vortex of seizing the heir. More importantly, after the disclosure, Yu Lu would not be able to save his husband!

Yu Ce saw that Yu Sheng's expression didn't look like he was joking. His younger brother knew that once he became arrogant, no one could control him, and there was no other way but to get used to it. "Then I'll call some people to help you find it."

"No need." Yu Sheng said angrily, "It's fine for me and my third brother to go."

Yu Ce had no choice but to take Yu Sheng, "Then I'll hide the wine and accompany you."

Yu Sheng couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he had to agree first, thinking that it would be time to play by ear.

The rain became heavier, like silk threads, falling on the roof, setting off a layer of white rain and fog.Yu Ce was holding an umbrella alone, Yu Lu and Yu Sheng were holding an umbrella together, each carrying a lantern, and walked into the rain curtain.

Yu Sheng pretended to go to the Buddhist hall to look for it first, and then led them to the direction of the bamboo forest.

Yu Ce reminded him: "Sheng'er, if you go any further, you will be in the bamboo forest."

"That's right, the bamboo forest!" Yu Sheng snapped his fingers, looking as if he had just woken up from a dream, "I must have accidentally forgotten by the pool when I was bathing in the bamboo forest today."

"Bamboo forest?" Yu Lu frowned, "It's night and it's raining again, so let's not go in."

"Lulu, don't listen to that old bald donkey's nonsense, this forest is not very big, and it will come out after walking."

"Sheng'er, don't make trouble." Yu Ce said, "This is not a fun thing."

"If you are afraid, just wait for me here, and I will go by myself." After speaking, Yu Sheng took off her umbrella, plunged into the rain, and ran towards the bamboo forest.

At this moment, Yu Sheng feels like the heroine in Mary Su Wenli, who likes to fight against all opinions, go her own way and do some stupid things, and then wait for others to deal with the aftermath, and then be scolded bloody by all the readers .

Brother-in-law, I have paid too much for you.

Yu Sheng was caught off guard by this brilliant move, and both Yu Lu and Yu Ce were confused by him. When they reacted, Yu Sheng had already run into the bamboo forest and disappeared.

Yu Ce was going crazy, and he swore that when he caught Yu Sheng, he would forcefully make him copy the January book to vent his anger.He turned to Yu Lu and said, "Third Brother, you go back to your room first, and I'll bring him back."

Yu Lu seemed a little anxious, "Do you want me to call someone?"

"No. It's easy to get lost in the bamboo forest. There are no floods and beasts. Sheng'er will be fine." Yu Ce said, "I know a little bit about five elements and eight formations, and I will definitely be able to bring him out."

After Yu Sheng ran into the bamboo forest, he stopped, waiting for Yu Ce and Yu Lu to come in and find him.His whole body was completely soaked, his long hair stuck to his face, and he couldn't even open his eyes, not to mention how uncomfortable it was. Fortunately, the rain had passed its peak and was slowly weakening. The rain should stop before dawn .

Not long after, Yu Sheng saw a person in the rain walking towards him quickly.He nodded with satisfaction: Very good, the plan is approved.Now that Yu Lu has entered the bamboo forest, he and his husband can have a perfect encounter, and his planning is not in vain.

Wait, something seems wrong.

A person?

one person!

When Yu Sheng saw Yu Ce approaching him aggressively, his heart collapsed, "Where's Yu Lu?"

Yu Ce didn't expect that before he lost his temper, Yu Sheng became angry first, "I let him go first."

"..." Are you fucking kidding me?

Yu Ce originally wanted to scold Yu Sheng, but now that he was drenched all over, his eyes were red, as if he had been abandoned, his heart ached.He stuffed the umbrella for Yu Sheng, took off his coat and put it on Yu Sheng, "Okay, let's go find your sachet, find it earlier and go back sooner. What's wrong with you?"

"I..." Yu Sheng sniffed, "I kind of want to cry."

This kid is quite conscientious, knowing that his family is good, he will be moved to tears.Yu Ce said softly, "Stupid, you're still crying when you're too old."

"..." He really wanted to cry!

Gradually, the rain stopped, and with the faint light, Yu Ce lowered his head and carefully looked for the so-called sachet.Yu Sheng held the umbrella for him like a dead body, with a numb face.

No matter what, my brother-in-law still needs to be saved.That is the future emperor, if the Yu family had "accidentally" rescued him, they might have reaped a lot of benefits.

As for Yu Lu... brother, brother, I'm sorry!Next time, brother must find a way to make up for you and brother-in-law a beautiful encounter!

Yu Ce searched for it, then suddenly stopped, and asked suspiciously, "Sheng'er, did you hear anything?"

"If you're talking about the wind, there is."

Yu Ce listened intently, "No, it sounds like footsteps."

oh? !Is my brother-in-law coming?Yu Sheng cheered up, "Who else would come to this kind of place besides us at night? I'm so curious. Brother, let's go and see?"

Yu Ce didn't object, and pointed in a direction, "Go there."

After the two walked for a while, Yu Sheng had already lost his way and was completely following Yu Ce.Yu Ce also realized that the bamboo forest really contained a mystery, "Sheng'er, did we come to this place just now?"

Yu Sheng looked blank, "I don't know."

"...It's my fault. I shouldn't have asked such embarrassing questions for you." Yu Ce said, "Let's walk around a few more times and we'll see the pattern."

To be honest, walking in the dark bamboo forest with a lantern at night, and encountered a ghost hitting the wall, if he was the only one, Yu Sheng would be so frightened that he burst into tears.But now there is an elder brother who has passed the exam and claims to be the smartest person in the world to accompany him. He is not afraid at all.

The two walked around and went back to the distance.Yu Ce thought about it, "I guess the mystery of the bamboo forest, let's walk again."

Yu Sheng said embarrassedly: "Brother, I want to pee."

Yu Ce rolled his eyes at him, "Then you go, don't go far, I'll wait for you here."

Yu Sheng nodded, got into a dense forest, and solved the physical problem happily.

I don't know when it started, fog started to form in the bamboo forest, but within a short while, the thick fog had dispersed, and Yu Sheng's visual range was greatly reduced.When he groped his way back to the original place, Yu Ce had disappeared.

"..."

Yu Sheng, don't panic!You are already a mature road idiot, you have to learn to keep calm after getting lost!

There are no beasts that can hurt people in this bamboo forest, and when the fog clears at dawn, they can naturally walk out easily.What's more, when Yu Ce finds out that he is missing, he will definitely come back to find him. He just needs to wait where he is.

Yu Sheng didn't care about getting dirty, so he sat down under a bamboo tree with his hands crossed, his chin resting on his knees, and his mouth was slightly pouted.

I'm so hungry, I really want to eat meat.Without meat, dim sum is fine, Yan Weilan made dim sum, candied haws, almond cake, sweet-scented osmanthus cake...

Yu Sheng thought about it, and unconsciously fell asleep.The lanterns gradually extinguished, leaving only a residual warmth.

I don't know how long it took, it seemed like a whole night, and it seemed like a moment, Yu Sheng felt his eyelashes itch, and something soft was stroking his cheek.He opened his eyes in a daze, and rubbed them with the back of his hand like a cat.

"Little guy, why are you falling asleep here?"

The scene in front of him gradually became clear, the man's seemingly affectionate face was close at hand, and Yu Sheng lost all sleepiness at once, "Scum...why is it you again?"

"My lord, this person appeared in the bamboo forest in the middle of the night. He might be an accomplice of the assassin. Please ask your subordinates to take him down!"

It was only then that Yu Sheng realized that there were a large number of people standing behind Li Luan, all of them were dressed in strong clothes, with knives on their waists, and torches in their hands. They looked like they were extraordinary people.The person who spoke just now was the leader of a strong man. Standing in front of him, Yu Sheng was like a weak chicken. He could lift Yu Sheng up with one hand.

"He's not an associate of an assassin," Li Luan patted Yu Sheng's head, "He's the second son of Pingyang Marquis Mansion, Yu Sheng."

Yu Sheng turned her head to avoid Li Luan's touch, and said angrily, "Are you investigating me?" Why is this person so annoying.

"Bold!" said the strong man, "How did you talk, do you know who is standing in front of you?!"

"I know," Yu Sheng said without thinking, "He is King Shu."

The strong man was startled, "Knowing that you are still so presumptuous!"

That's right, it's not a crime if you don't know, if you know Li Luan's identity and still disrespect him, there must be no good fruit to eat. "Then I don't know." Yu Sheng said, "I just guessed."

The brawny man laughed angrily, "You play us for fools!"

Li Luan gave the strong man a warning look, and the latter immediately shut his mouth and retreated with lowered eyebrows. "Second Master Yu, did this king offend you?" Li Luan asked with interest, "Why do you always treat me like a beast of prey every time you see me?"

Yu Sheng pursed her lips, "No, I dare not."

"You don't dare?" Li Luan smiled, "I think you are very brave."

Yu Sheng frowned, he always felt that the development of the plot between himself and Li Luan was a bit weird, maybe Li Luan would say that classic line soon - you are the only one who is so indifferent to me, Great, you managed to get my attention.

"The king has something important to do today, so I won't play with you." Li Luan said, "Huo Dao, send Second Young Master Yu back."

"Wait." Yu Sheng said, "The bamboo forest where my brother and I came together, we got lost, you...can you, my lord, find my brother for me?"

"Your brother?" Li Luan raised his eyebrows, "Yu Ce?"

Yu Ce is well-known in Beijing and has an official position, so it's not surprising that Li Luan knows him. "That's right, it's him."

"So, are you begging my king?"

"..." Please, the First Prince is your eldest nephew after all, are you not in a hurry if his whereabouts are unknown?He's still flirting here.

Seeing that Yu Sheng was silent, Li Luan smiled and said, "This king was just joking with you. How could this king refuse the little beauty's request? Just follow this king and see if you can find your brother."

Although Yu Sheng didn't like Li Luan, but after all he agreed to help, he couldn't put on a bad face anymore, and reluctantly said: "Thank you, my lord."

The group started on the road again, with Li Luan walking at the forefront. He seemed to know this bamboo forest very well, and he never turned back after walking for a long time.He has lived in Jueyuan Temple for half of his life since he was a child, and he is probably tired of playing with these things.

Yu Sheng walked in the middle of the line, as if a primary school student had been inserted into a group of high school students.The two guards walking in front of him whispered to each other: "I've been looking for this for a long time, why haven't I seen anyone yet, is the eldest prince really in the bamboo forest?"

"According to what the surviving shadow guards said, after the first prince and the assassin fought fiercely for a long time, because he was outnumbered and exhausted, he could only retreat first and head towards the back mountain. Among the back mountains, only this bamboo forest is the best place to hide people , if the First Prince wants to avoid the assassins, he will definitely go into the bamboo forest."

"Even the eldest prince dares to assassinate, those assassins are really tired of their jobs!"

"Speaking of which, if we can't find the eldest prince, our fate may not be much better than that of assassins."

As Yu Sheng was walking, he suddenly bumped into a "wall". He was wondering why there was a wall in the bamboo forest, only to realize that the team stopped for some reason. It wasn't the wall he bumped into, but some strong man with a wide the back.

"What's wrong?" Yu Sheng asked.

"Shh! Someone is coming up ahead."

"Is there?" Yu Sheng stood on tiptoe anxiously, "Oh? I can't see it, I can't see it!" This world is really unfriendly to little people!

All the guards pulled out their knives, held their breath, and prepared to welcome the visitor who didn't know whether it was an enemy or a friend. At this moment, someone shouted: "The eldest prince? It's the eldest prince!"

"The eldest prince is injured!"

The scene suddenly became chaotic, everyone ran forward one after another, and Yu Sheng finally saw his future brother-in-law.

It was an extremely handsome and stalwart man, with slender and sharp sword eyebrows, and deep-set eyes, even with injuries on his face, his majesty was not obvious.

This is Dayuan's eldest prince, the future emperor, Li Zhan.

Li Zhan seemed to be seriously injured and couldn't even walk steadily.With one hand covering the wound on his chest and the other around Yu Ce's waist, he walked slowly towards them with Yu Ce's support.

It’s okay, it’s okay, as long as people live.

Wait, wait a minute, whose waist is he holding?
