Chapter 75 I'm purely lustful and uncontrollable
Zhao Ying and Hu Jianye both changed their expressions.
Eliminating the rebels was a great achievement.
If Zhao Ying could achieve such a feat at this time, Hu Jianye could recommend him as the Crown Prince along with his confidants in the imperial court.
Then it would be a matter of course; as long as Emperor Ren had any such thoughts, the matter would be settled.
Within the entire palace, no one could compete with Zhao Ying anymore.
After Emperor Ren's death, Zhao Ying would be the new monarch!
Thinking of this, Hu Jianye immediately became excited.
If the plan truly succeeded, he would wield absolute power in the court!
This feeling of being at the peak of power was what he had always dreamed of!
Hu Jianye suppressed his excitement and said, "Shen Yulou, where are these rebels from?"
Shen Yulou recounted the matter of the Princess's maternal uncle.
"Lord Minister, I have already told you both such confidential matters. Now we are essentially tying our lives to His Highness. Is that not sincere enough?"
Minister Hu gritted his teeth and said, "You surname Shen, you killed my son. I will never rest until I have my revenge! Who's binding with you? Our business isn't over!"
Shen Yulou shook his head, "Lord Minister, your son's death was an accident and has nothing to do with me. If you don't believe me, you can ask Consort Qing."
"Hmph, I will continue to investigate this matter, but for now, His Highness's affairs are paramount."
In Consort Qing's letter, she had already stated that Hu Chen might not have been killed by Shen Yulou.
Although Hu Jianye still felt that the probability of Shen Yulou committing the murder was very high, at this moment, he had to stand on the same front as Shen Yulou.
In comparison, Zhao Ying's establishment as Crown Prince was the most important matter!
Shen Yulou explained his plan.
"This maternal uncle is someone the Princess has never met, and we don't know who he is. Can a mere half of an imperial edict really lure him here?
If he comes, then it's an opportunity for His Highness to gain merit!
But if he doesn't come, we will need to use another plan."
Hu Jianye asked, "What is the other plan?"
"Their gathering place is in Heishan Prefecture to the north. If he refuses to come, we will have to find an opportunity for His Highness to lead troops to Heishan Prefecture.
We will annihilate them in one fell swoop while they are just about to rebel."
Hu Jianye frowned, "Without any reason, how could the Emperor casually allow His Highness to deploy troops?"
Shen Yulou said, "This matter is both difficult and simple. Don't forget that Princess Naxing is currently in my hands."
"As long as Princess Naxing sends a letter, there will be movement in Yan State, and it will be easy to create some chaos."
"At that time, as long as Lord Minister strongly recommends His Highness to deploy troops in the imperial court, coupled with His Highness's self-recommendation, there should be no problem."
Hu Jianye and Zhao Ying then nodded. If Princess Naxing helped, it would indeed be easier to succeed.
Shen Yulou said, "Of course, this is only the last resort. After all, His Highness needs to recuperate after breaking his leg, so he should avoid going out if possible.
From my analysis, there's an eighty to ninety percent chance that the Princess's maternal uncle will come after seeing my half of the imperial edict."
Zhao Ying stood up and once again solemnly bowed to Shen Yulou.
"Everything is entrusted to Lord Shen!"
"His Highness overstates it!"
After the discussion was concluded, they had a meal at Minister Hu's house.
Zhao Ying said, "Lord Shen, Princess, the chef at the Grand Tutor's residence is very skilled. You two should eat more."
Shen Yulou and the Princess both only took a few bites, "We don't eat much; a little is already enough for us."
Seeing these two acting so refined, Hu Jianye rolled his eyes fiercely and scoffed.
The last time they came, they devoured everything like wolves. Zhao Ying hadn't seen it then. They ate and took things, practically no different from bandits and robbers.
Now they were pretending to be refined in front of His Highness... After dinner, Shen Yulou said.
"Lord Minister, the Princess and I walked here, and no one should have seen us arrive. However, there are many people outside now. If they see us getting too close to His Highness, it could reach the Emperor's ears and cause suspicion. Please send us back in a carriage."
Hu Jianye nodded, "Hu Bai, use my carriage to send them back."
"Yes!"
Hu Bai pulled the carriage out from the backyard. This was the Minister's personal carriage; both the horse and the carriage were of the highest quality.
If it were in modern times, even if it couldn't compare to a Rolls-Royce, it could at least compare to a Maybach.
After Shen Yulou and the others got into the carriage, he said.
"Steward Hu, you don't need to get in. We can drive the carriage ourselves."
Hu Bai's expression changed slightly, "Lord Shen, what do you mean by this? This carriage belongs to the Master!"
Shen Yulou said, "What, Lord Minister can't even bear to part with a carriage? I'll use it for a few days and return it to you later."
After he finished speaking, Song Hu cracked the whip, and the carriage immediately sped away.
Hu Bai cried and slapped his thighs.
"Bandits, they're bandits!"
...On the way back, Song Hu and Qingqing sat in front, driving the carriage.
Shen Yulou and the Princess sat inside the carriage.
Shen Yulou gently took the Princess's small hand and played with it in his palm.
The Princess's face flushed, and she looked at Shen Yulou, saying.
"How can you be so natural?"
Shen Yulou smiled, "You and I are about to become husband and wife. What's wrong with holding hands?"
Although the Princess's face was red, she did not refuse.
"Only this much, nothing more."
Although the Princess had fallen in love with Shen Yulou at first sight, she was still very traditional at heart.
She naturally wouldn't allow him to do anything excessive before their wedding day.
Shen Yulou stroked the Princess's hand, caressing each finger.
The Princess became a little uncomfortable from his touch, "What kind of tricks can you do with just a hand? Do you perhaps like playing with hands?"
Shen Yulou said, "There was a time when I thought I was a lookist, only liking beautiful people.
Later, I thought I was a leg-lover, liking long-legged people.
It's only now that I understand, I'm purely lustful, uncontrollable."
Upon hearing this, the Princess burst out laughing, shaking like a flower in the wind.
Her delicate body leaned a little closer to Shen Yulou.
Shen Yulou took the opportunity to pull her into his embrace.
"What are you doing? You said no messing around."
"Just touching, nothing else."
...After returning to the residence, Shen Yulou left the carriage at the Princesss Residence.
After they were married, they would naturally live in the Princesss Residence.
Although the Princess was not favored, she was still of royal blood, representing the 'monarch,' while Shen Yulou was a'subject.'
In ancient times, although there was the saying that the husband was the wife's guide, there was first the relationship between monarch and subject, then husband and wife.
So Shen Yulou would naturally live in the Princesss Residence, not his own.
Moreover, the location of Shen Yulou's residence had not yet been chosen. After it was selected, he would have his parents and sister-in-law come to live there.
After sending the Princess back, Shen Yulou went to Li Hui's house to ask him for help in choosing a house location... Upon returning home, the blush on the Princess's face had not yet faded.
Qingqing hesitated to speak several times.
The Princess said, "Say whatever you want to say."
Qingqing said, "Princess, I heard Shen Yulou kiss you outside the carriage just now. You are not yet married; you absolutely must not cross the line."
The Princess's face flushed, and she said.
"You're wrong, he didn't kiss me, I kissed him."
