Chapter 200 Ingratitude and Deceit (35)
The clouds and rain have begun to subside.
Looking at the sleepy young man in his arms, whose eyes were barely open, Bu Shaoluan felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and gave him a deep kiss on the forehead.
Gu Yao glanced at him dazedly, too exhausted to do anything else.
Bu Shaoluan knew Shen Shenwei was outside the door. Looking at the mess on the bed, he frowned.
They wrapped the person in a blanket and picked them up.
Before long, Shen Shenwei led several composed palace maids in carrying a bath tub. "Your Majesty, the hot water is ready."
Shen Shenwei was naturally very perceptive; before entering the room, he instructed them not to look at things they shouldn't.
Bu Shaoluan responded softly.
After the young man carried the person out, he led the palace maids to tidy up the messy bed.
The incense burner contained burnt sandalwood incense, and the sweet scent of osmanthus was mixed with an unknown aroma.
It's really a mess.
The palace maids, seemingly oblivious, changed all the bedding on the bed.
Before long, the messy bed was tidied up.
Shen Shenwei coughed lightly and led his men out of the hall.
Behind the screen, the boy carried the person into the bathtub.
Gu Yao opened his eyes groggily and saw the boy sitting opposite him, still dressed.
Looking at myself again, I decided to forget about it.
Looking at the consequences of his actions, Bu Shaoluan coughed lightly, looked away slightly, and his ears turned slightly red.
Gu Yao leaned lazily against the bathtub, her beautiful peach blossom eyes half-closed as she looked at the young man. Seeing the young man's bright red ears, she chuckled, "Your Majesty has become shy and embarrassed now."
The young man's voice was slightly husky and sensual, and Bu Shaoluan felt his ears getting hot.
Hearing Gu Yao's teasing and seeing him leaning against the edge of the bathtub looking like he was about to slide in, he quickly pulled him into his arms.
Gu Yao was exhausted. His forehead bumped against a solid chest, causing him to wince slightly in pain.
Bu Shaoluan reached out and rubbed his forehead, the gentle breeze carrying the warmth of his fingertips.
It also dispelled Gu Yao's anger.
forget it.
He let himself lean against Bu Shaoluan, and the boy's voice trembled slightly as if he was thinking of something.
"Ah Tang, let me help you clean up, okay?"
Gu Yao, whose consciousness was gradually fading, responded with a muffled sound.
The boy seemed to be encouraged by something, and pulled the person into his arms, letting him lie on top of him, "Don't bite yourself, it will be fine soon, if it hurts, bite me."
Gu Yao looked at the bleeding teeth marks on the wolf cub's shoulder and ultimately couldn't bear it.
She just bit her lower lip and gasped softly.
Once both of them were clean, Bu Shaoluan wrapped them in a clean cloth and quickly tucked them back into the quilt.
The hidden compartment beside the tatami mat was opened for the second time tonight.
While he was getting his medicine, the handsome young man had already fallen into a deep sleep, looking utterly exhausted.
Bu Shaoluan lifted the blanket, untied the fleece cloth, and looked at the clothes covering her body...
He forced himself to look away and endured the pain as he applied the medicine to the person.
Then, he held her and fell into a deep sleep.
***
Before going to the morning court, Bu Shaoluan saw that Gu Yao was sleeping soundly, so he simply reached out and checked Gu Yao's forehead temperature.
Fortunately, there was no fever.
After the morning court session ended, Bu Shaoluan was overjoyed, but Shen Shenwei's two sentences chilled him to the bone.
"Your Majesty, the Grand Master of the Palace developed a high fever this morning. The steward of the Shen family brought the Grand Master's token into the palace and forcibly took him away."
Bu Shaoluan's smile froze on his face. He removed the twelve-tassel crown from his head. "Go to the Shen residence."
He didn't even have time to change out of his imperial robes before rushing out of the palace.
He knew that Shen Xuntang controlled the palace, but he had never seen such a disrespectful act before.
They forcibly took people away from the Qianqing Palace, still in the same haste.
What is Shen Xuntang hiding from him?!
Bu Shaoluan's heart, which had been floating in a sweet jar, gradually sank amidst constant speculation. He made the worst-case scenario plan; he wanted to see his Atang.
However, they were stopped at the gate of the Shen residence by the Shen family steward.
The steward of the Shen family bowed respectfully, neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "The Grand Secretary is ill, and the Shen family is closed to guests. Today, I acted on my own initiative. If Your Majesty wishes to punish someone, then punish me alone."
Bu Shaoluan frowned. "I only wish to see the Grand Chancellor."
The steward said expressionlessly, "The head of the household is ill, and the Shen residence is closed to visitors."
Looking at the unyielding butler in front of him, Bu Shaoluan's face turned ashen, but the increased number of guards at the door made him even more uneasy.
With such heightened vigilance, what exactly happened to Shen Xuntang?
If it were just an ordinary matter, it would never have attracted such vigilance.
Seeing that there was no hope at the main gate, Bu Shaoluan chuckled lightly, his expression calm, "Then I will visit again another day."
Shen Shenwei has been gradually excluded from the Shen Party, and he is vaguely uneasy about today's events.
However, he was extremely clear about the layout of the Shen residence.
Standing by the overgrown courtyard wall, Bu Shaoluan didn't care. With a light step, he leaped over the wall.
The surrounding area was desolate, devoid of guards, yet stood a refined and otherworldly man.
It stood out starkly against the desolate courtyard.
The man chuckled lightly, "Your Majesty of Great Qi, how can you act like a thief, doing such a thing?"
Bu Shaoluan patted the straw off his body and looked up at the person in front of him.
Han Shuyang smiled and slightly shook his sleeves.
"Your Majesty, A-Tang does not wish you to know too much. Please leave."
The boy looked at the person in front of him, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
Taking advantage of the person's unpreparedness, he swiftly raised his hand and attacked the person's vitals. Just as he was about to choke the person's throat, Han Shu turned his toes and dodged the attack. Then, he bent his fingers and tapped the person's shoulder.
The force wasn't great, but it produced a crisp sound.
Bu Shaoluan stumbled and barely managed to steady himself.
He looked up at the ethereal young man before him, his gaze trembling slightly.
Receiving the slightly surprised look from the young man, Han Shu smiled and "kindly" comforted him, "Your Majesty, let alone someone like you who has only studied martial arts for two years, even if you are a seasoned martial artist who has been practicing since childhood, there are not many people in the Great Qi who can beat me."
Please return today.
Han Shu once again issued an order to leave.
Bu Shaoluan stood up, dusted himself off, and stared at the person blocking his way without saying a word.
He had no idea that such a person was hidden in Shen Xuntang's mansion.
Ah Tang, she called him that in a very affectionate way.
Bu Shaoluan felt a pang of jealousy, but he couldn't beat the person in front of him, so he could only turn away with a flick of his sleeve.
Shen Shenwei, who witnessed the whole thing: "..."
Instead, Han Shu noticed the person at the base of the wall first and smiled slightly, "This must be A Tang's little apprentice. Don't even think about finding a place to enter the Shen family. The places you can think of, we can think of too."
Shen Shenwei stiffened, but did not turn around, and followed Bu Shaoluan's steps.
As the hem of their clothes disappeared over the wall, Han Shu suppressed his smile.
He turned and left in a hurry.
Ying Lian was indeed thoughtful; otherwise, the young emperor would have really barged in today.
I wonder how Ah Tang is doing now?
Han Shu frowned, recalling Gu Yao's pale face, and her heart sank.
