half life slave

After calming down, Rong Yu returned to Xinuang Pavilion, and reported to Shen Hui what he had done today, but Shen Hui fell into a long silence after listening to him, without saying a word.

After careful consideration, there was nothing wrong with doing the errand, and his heart became more and more at a loss. Shen Hui's attitude made him unconsciously think of the helplessness and embarrassment he encountered when he first thanked him in Chonghua Palace.

Just as he was trying to think about how to break the silence, Shen Hui put down his ink brush and asked, "Apart from the factory, where did you go today?"

From his voice, Rong Yu couldn't hear any emotion, but the question itself was enough to make Rong Yu's whole body tense.

Knowing that the emperor should not be deceived no matter what, and also guessing that he had known it a long time ago, asking this question now is just considering whether he will answer truthfully, so he calmed down and responded with tolerance, "I have gone to my house."

Shen Hui leaned halfway on the back of the chair, and continued to ask, "Aren't you unwilling to buy property? When did you figure it out again?"

His capacity and throat tightened, he felt weak to swallow for a while, took a deep breath and replied, "I figured it out because I met the son of an old friend."

"Old friend?" Shen Huituo let out a long laugh, "When did Yang Cunzhou become your old friend? Are you old with him?"

Sure enough, he knew everything, Rong Yu couldn't hide it anymore, lowered his head and said sincerely, "I am not old friends with Yang Cunzhou, but I have pleaded for him and heard the emperor's punishment for him, so I am taking the liberty in my heart." see him as an old friend."

"You also know that you are taking the liberty, now it is clear, what do others think of you?"

His words touched the scar in his heart, and the tension after sweating and heavy clothes came back again, Rong Yu whispered, "Yes, I know."

"Then do you know how I will see you and treat you?"

The sweat on his back seemed to come out again, Rong Yu said softly, "The emperor is very disappointed with this minister, and this minister should accept the emperor's punishment, no matter what form it is."

Shen Hui didn't continue to speak, Rong Yu stood one step behind him, watching his neck stand upright, the winged crown on his head as motionless as a mountain, the whole person seemed to be in trance.

After a long time, the corners of the crown trembled slightly, and he asked, "I take you as my confidant, what do you take me for?"

For a moment, my heart was full of guilt for him, I tried to stabilize my emotions, and expressed calmly, "For me, you are the monarch, and you are the person I will serve wholeheartedly; you are also a benefactor, and even if I swear allegiance, you must who will be loyal."

"It's very nice to say, but unfortunately what you did is hurting my heart. Do you think I won't know? Or can you hide it? It seems that I have been too indulgent to you."

Rong Yu bowed his head sadly, and heard him say again in a cold voice, "I have never doubted your loyalty, otherwise you would not be able to stand here and talk to me now. But I cannot tolerate your tolerance for the enemy. You have committed crimes several times. You made this mistake but never realized it. Do you think that sympathy and compassion will be forgiven by the enemy? There are too many people in the world who deserve sympathy, how many of you, Lin Rongyu, can you help on your own?"

A few words were beyond shame, and he bowed his head and said in a low voice, "Yes, I understand now..."

Shen Hui interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "You don't understand! You can't do anything by yourself, but you have the biggest backer in the world without knowing it! Only with your back on me can you have the opportunity to realize what you want in your heart , help those who want to help, and let those who despise you dare not insult you face to face. This is what you really need to understand."

His tone was calm, and there was a sense of coldness and sternness running through the lines, but it was like enlightenment, making Rong Yu realize that he had been wrong for a long time.

Whether he should stick to his identity and be a servant of the courtier, or follow the trend of the times and become a close minister of the emperor, he has never thought about the answer clearly.What is particularly puzzling is why Shen Hui chose himself among the servants. If all he wanted was a servant who could serve food and daily life, and accompany him to relieve boredom in his spare time, why did he have to pick someone who was not good at expressing joy?

It turns out that what he wants is not just a waiter who abides by his duties. Rong Yu thought about it seriously for a moment, since he wanted to repay his kindness, and there was no way to retreat in this life, then maybe he should try his best to meet his request and make himself what he needed. kind of people.

What's more, he has given himself enough opportunities!

Thinking of this, Rong Yu didn't hesitate anymore, Tiyi knelt down and said, "I have failed the emperor's expectations, if you can give me another chance, I will definitely not disappoint you again."

Shen Hui gave a hum, and said lightly, "From tomorrow, I will follow me in the morning, and I will read the memorial for me in the evening. I have other errands for me. You need to do everything properly." Raising your head, your voice was cold, "Beside me Do not support idlers, understand?"

Rong Yu said yes in a low voice, and dared to stand up after kowtowing.Shen Hui picked up the vermilion pen again, flipped through a memorial, and said for a long while, "If you have done something wrong, you should go and kneel outside. Kneel until tomorrow morning, this night is enough for you to reflect on yourself."

Rong Yu was stunned, had no choice but to bow and kowtow again, slowly exit the Nuan Pavilion, and knelt down in front of the steps.

In the courtyard, there were guards guarding the gate of Qianqing, and maids who were on duty at night. People came and went, but everyone held their breath and didn't even hear a cough.

The palm seal of the inner court, who is very favored on weekdays and has almost never had a single serious word, is punished to kneel here. It is enough to play a deterrent effect that everyone is in danger and keeps silent.

This was indeed the first time Rong Yu had been blamed since serving Shen Hui, but it was also strange that he didn't feel resigned or wronged at all, instead he was a little worried about whether he could satisfy Shen Hui.

Through the window screen, he imagined his appearance at the desk, and gradually, that tall and straight figure turned into a silhouette reflected on the window, and he concentrated on fixing the image in front of him until it was deeply embedded in his mind.

There is an old tree under the steps, the leaves have accumulated some night dew, when the wind blows, the branches shake and make a rustling sound, and sprinkle a string of water droplets, like a light rain, the dew drops on the skin It was cool and moist, and it melted away the hot and dry heart that was surging in his heart drop by drop.

However, it wasn't until the next day when he woke up that Rong Yu realized what it means to be in pain.Even though he was young, his body was always in good shape, so when he knelt down all night, his knees could no longer be bent, and he stood behind the throne with his hands down, almost shaky several times.Shen Hui glanced at his trembling legs until he retreated, and finally let him go back to his room mercifully, allowing him to rest for an hour.

Rolling up the trousers, the two knees were already bruised, painful and swollen.Lin Sheng applied hot compresses to him over and over again, and once the veil cooled slightly, he soaked in hot water again, his movements were gentle and gentle, for fear of hurting him.

It's just that he was serious about doing these things, but he never raised his eyes to look at Rong Yu, just kept his head down.

"A Sheng," Rong Yu called him softly, "talk to me."

He trembled, and lowered his head even lower.

Rong Heyue smiled a little, "I know you are doing it for my own good, but I still want to know, from the very beginning, were you specially arranged by the emperor to be by my side?"

Lin Sheng shook his head back and forth, "No, the villain followed you first, and later, the emperor summoned the villain to report all your daily outings to him..."

He raised his head, eyes full of guilt, "The emperor didn't want to spy on you, really, he told the villain that you are good in everything, but you suffer because of your soft heart and too good temper. People do this, Your Majesty, he trusts you very much and values ​​you very much..."

Rong Yu sighed, feeling sour in his heart, despite the sourness, there was actually a little sweet feeling, "I'm sorry, I asked you to worry about me too."

Lin Sheng shook his head, and said in a muffled voice, "The villain is following you, and I feel very at ease. However, the emperor's words are still true, and those people still don't believe you and slander you like that."

Rong Yu caressed his head, pulled him up and sat beside him, the moment his fingers touched him, he trembled slightly again, and asked in a low voice, "Master, will you trust me in the future?"

Rong Yu nodded, "Of course, I have always believed in Ah Sheng." Seeing that his expression relaxed a lot, he asked again, "Were those people from the House of Internal Affairs yesterday also sent by the emperor?"

"No, the emperor doesn't want to see you in such embarrassment. There should be someone else. However, whether this person wants to please you, or if he knows about the accident of the Yang family's mother and son, the villain doesn't know."

Rong Yu thought for a while, and said to him, "Go and do something for me, count the things sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs yesterday, and record and seal everything that is not in compliance with the rules. Pick another similar item and send it to give money The general manager is the return gift, you just have to send it, and don’t worry about the rest. Besides, go find out what he said, from whom did he know about my house purchase, I suspect someone in my heart, but I can’t be sure if it’s him.”

Lin Sheng nodded vigorously, as if he was very happy because he was willing to assign errands. He raised his eyes and smiled at him. There was obvious dependence and admiration in that smile.
