"Your Highness, are you in a good mood today?" Yu Niang brought the cakes and saw the smile that never left Shen Weixun's face and couldn't help but said.

Yu Niang used to serve in the eldest princess's mansion, but now Shen Weixun has moved into the East Palace, and Yu Niang has also been transferred to take care of Shen Weixun's daily life.

"I am indeed in a good mood. Yueyue promised me!" Shen Weixun put down the fold in his hand, the smile on his face could not be hidden.

When Yu Niang heard this, she was also overjoyed. She quickly clasped her hands and said, "Congratulations to Your Highness, Your Highness finally got what he wanted!"

Yu Niang saw with her own eyes how forbearing Shen Weixun was towards Lin Jianyue's love. Now that Shen Weixun and Lin Jianyue were able to cultivate, they, the slaves, were really happy.

After all, Lin Jianyue is a tolerant master at first glance. With such a mistress in the future, the lives of servants like them will not be difficult.

As soon as Shen Weixun finished handling the matter, he was summoned into the palace by Emperor Dongshan.

These days, Emperor Dongshan's body was half-dead. Every day, the imperial doctor waited outside the palace to treat Emperor Dongshan if he felt slightly unwell.

With the entire Imperial Hospital taking care of him carefully, and the government affairs being handed over to Shen Weixun, although Emperor Dongshan was not in good health, at least he did not continue to vomit blood.

As soon as Shen Weixun arrived at the dormitory, he saw Concubine Li playing chess with Emperor Dongshan.

Now that Emperor Dongshan is unwell, he has never summoned any of his concubines to sleep with him, and he has always been served by Concubine Li. This shows how favored Concubine Li is now.

"Weixun, you're here, come and play a game with me!" Emperor Dongshan greeted Shen Weixun, looking in a good mood.

Concubine Li stood up and waited beside her with a warm smile: "As soon as the prince comes, your majesty will dislike my concubine!"

Emperor Dongshan laughed loudly, "I don't dislike you, I just want to have a game with Wei Xun! Concubine Li, make a pot of tea for me and Wei Xun!"

Shen Weixun sat opposite Dongshan Emperor. One of them had a white stone and the other had a black stone. They started to go back and forth in the chess game.

"I heard that Wei Xun has been very fond of Princess Jian Yue in recent days?" Emperor Dongshan asked casually while playing chess.

Shen Weixun looked at the chess game and slowly placed a piece. Hearing these words, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Where did your majesty hear these gossips? It's just that there have been too many rumors about the princess recently. The princess is the future crown princess, so I naturally have to come forward to defend her!"

Dongshan Emperor held the chess pieces and looked at Shen Weixun carefully, and Shen Weixun also let Dongshan Emperor look at him.

For a moment, Emperor Dongshan continued to show a kind smile, "What Wei Xun said is that she is the Crown Princess after all. If the rumors go too far, it will make you lose face! But Wei Xun, although Princess Jian Yue has a pretty face, But you are the future king, so you must not lose your mind because of beauty, not to mention that the princess has a huge fortune!"

Shen Weixun moved for a moment, as if he understood what Dongshan Emperor wanted, and nodded pretending to be nonchalant.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I understand that I won't let beauty distract me from my business!" Shen Weixun assured.

But Dongshan Emperor was still worried. He knew very well how beautiful Lin Jianyue was. In addition, Shen Weixun's behavior during these days was too ostentatious, which made Emperor Dongshan feel that Shen Weixin might be sincere.

"Of course I believe you, but what will you do if the princess charms you in the future and you can't control the princess? So I summoned you here today because I have something to give you!" Dongshan Emperor said, falling down One piece, and the chess game was decided, Dongshan Emperor won.

Eunuch Zhuo came forward, holding a small box in his hand. Dongshan Huang opened the box and found a pill inside. He handed the box to Shen Weixun, "This is the poison that controls the secret guards. The user needs to take the medicine every month. If you don't take the medicine, you will be in pain. With this medicine, you can find an opportunity." Go down to the princess, if the princess is obedient from now on, that’s it, if she doesn’t know what to do, you can also blackmail her and give her wealth!"

Shen Weixun took the pill, looking very calm on the surface, but only Shen Weixun knew the turbulence in his heart.

He never expected that Emperor Dongshan would come up with this trick, drugging and controlling an innocent woman.

"I obey your order!" Shen Weixun stood up and saluted.

Emperor Dongshan suddenly patted Shen Weixun on the shoulder at this moment, his voice neither loud nor quiet, full of the pressure and suspicion of an emperor.

"In a few days, I will summon the princess to the palace, and the imperial doctor will take the pulse of the princess. Wei Xun, I will hand over the throne to you. Don't let me down!" Emperor Dongshan threatened.

Emperor Dongshan was afraid that Shen Weixun would not bear it. This move was to control Lin Jianyue and let Lin Jianyue's wealth be transferred to the treasury. It was also to test Shen Weixun again.

If Shen Weixun could not bear to treat Emperor Dongshan because of a woman, or if he was soft-hearted because of a woman, it would not be what an emperor should do.

Shen Weixun's fingers clenched the pill box in his hand. He nodded and met Emperor Dongshan's gaze, "My lord, I will not disappoint His Majesty!"

Seeing Shen Weixun's attitude, Dongshan Emperor was very satisfied. What he wanted was for Shen Weixun to obey his words. Even if he was not going to die soon, he would not allow anyone to disobey him.

At this time, Concubine Li walked in with the brewed tea. Emperor Dongshan casually invited Shen Weixin to drink tea with him and listen to what was going on in the court in recent days.

After Eunuch Zhuo stepped back, he found that his hands were trembling.

He just stood outside the bedroom, suffering in his heart, until night came, and another father-in-law came to serve His Majesty instead of Eunuch Zhuo, but Eunuch Zhuo quietly walked into the darkness and left the palace.

"What did you say?" Lin Jianyue had already laid down to rest. After being woken up by Li En, her eyes were a little sleepy.

"Eunuch Zhuo came through the back door and said he wanted to see you, girl, and he seemed to be very hidden!" Li En explained. She also asked Eunuch Zhuo to tell them anything he wanted, and they could convey it, but Eunuch Zhuo refused no matter what, insisting on seeing Lin Jianyue.

"Eunuch Zhuo is here in person at this time. It must be something extremely important. Please invite him into the main hall quickly!" Lin Jianyue quickly woke up and did not dress up. She just changed into ordinary clothes and went to the main hall.

When Lin Jianyue arrived, Eunuch Zhuo had already been pacing back and forth in the main hall, looking very anxious.

"Why are Eunuch Zhuo here?" Lin Jianyue asked.

When Eunuch Zhuo saw Lin Jianyue, he directly told Lin Jianyue about today's palace affairs, and told Lin Jianyue, "Princess, please think of something quickly, or you can leave Qingyang City first to avoid the limelight!"

Lin Jianyue looked at Eunuch Zhuo, who was wearing a black cloak and now full of anxiety and worry, but she was very grateful.

From the beginning to the end, she was polite to Eunuch Zhuo because she was such a person, she also hoped that she could form a good relationship, and because she knew Eunuch Zhuo's status in the palace.

But he didn't expect that his intentional actions could actually make Eunuch Zhuo not afraid of life and death to remind him. (End of chapter)
