The prince can read minds! I just want to be a princess and have a bad time

A feeling of oppression came over him. Shen Yu heard the emperor's warning and knew that this was the only way to go.

He classified his mother's death as a difficult childbirth, and Shen Nian was only demoted one level and fined three years' salary. Even Shen Ji's wife was treated lightly, and was only imprisoned. He could find any excuse to release her...

As Lu Yingxing said, this dog emperor is very good at using this scumbag father! Does he really think he knows nothing?

However, this result has exceeded my original expectations. Not only did the dowry soar to 4 million taels, but I was also granted a divorce? Did I return the children to their mother? And I got a new mansion?! I was originally satisfied as long as I could separate my brother from the Shen Mansion. What else could I be dissatisfied with now? Satisfied! I am really satisfied!

After she figured it out, she immediately showed an unprecedented sincerity to this handsome uncle, and said excitedly, "Thank you for your grace! Shen Yu's gratitude to the emperor is like the endless flow of the river, and like the flooding of the river that cannot be stopped!! It is really the blessing of my life to have your protection in this world. I will burn incense and worship my ancestors when I go home, thanking them for their good deeds!! Thank the gods for blessing us and protecting us from danger!"

[I have memorized Master Xing’s lines by heart since I was a child.]

Lu Yingxing was speechless after listening to his wife's exaggerated words of thanks... and had no choice but to follow her in expressing his gratitude.

The emperor adapted well. It was the first time he had heard such straightforward words of thanks. He felt much better immediately and his voice was filled with tolerance. "Oh? Since you have been blessed by the gods, you can stay and tell me what happened here. Everyone else, please leave."

Shen Yu was stunned. What was going on? She glanced at Lu Yingxing reflexively. Seeing him nod slightly, she could only sigh that the mess she had experienced in the palace today would never end.

After everyone left, she chatted with the emperor for a while, acting like she used to accompany the grandparents in the compound to entertain their parents in colorful clothes, chatting half-seriously about the matters of Lingzhu Temple, but in her mind she was wondering why the emperor kept her alone?

He was just trying to pressure her and use her, but was he really going to force her into the palace? Although the way he looked at her sometimes made her uncomfortable, there was no woman the emperor couldn't get, so he wouldn't be so unrefined...right?

Seeing that she was neither humble nor arrogant, and was very patient in making jokes, as if she was open-hearted and had no defenses at all, the emperor looked at her with increasing satisfaction. A woman who was so good at disguise was suitable to be sent to be a spy, but it might not be easy to control her.

"Should I call you Shen Yu... or Yu Ling?"

He took a sip of the tea handed to him by Eunuch Huang and spoke casually.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Shen Yu immediately knelt down, looking like an obedient person admitting his mistake.

In fact, she was so flustered. He had found out after all. He was indeed the old cunning man in the original book! ! The dragon guards under the emperor were not vegetarians. If they really wanted to check a person's background, how could they not find out? She just hoped that he hadn't found Mu'er, otherwise... She thought about it and realized that the possibility of breaking out of the palace alone was basically zero.

"Oh? Tell me what crime you have committed?" He put down the cup in his hand and glanced at Shen Yu.

Tsk, he knelt quickly enough. In this respect, he was like his father. He did not inherit any of the character of Tutor Su. He was spoiled after all... His respect for her also faded a little. Although the emperor did not like the father and son of the Su family, he also admired their strong character.

"Well... I shouldn't be so playful. I'm going to the village for vacation in the name of self-cultivation. I beg the emperor to forgive me!" Seeing no response, she raised her head secretly and took a peek. Seeing him looking at her, she looked panicked as if she had been caught. She quickly lowered her head again, looking exactly like a sixteen-year-old girl.

The last time she returned to the village, she had coordinated her testimony with the old monk. After all, it was basically known to everyone that Master Zhu Ming lived in the village.

The emperor smiled meaningfully at this. It seemed that she was used to playing harmless in front of him. "Get up. It is a dereliction of duty as a father to ask a child like you to hide in the temple for six years... But you seem to have a good relationship with Master Zhuming?"

Shen Yu was puzzled after hearing this, "Your Majesty, the master is my savior... He was the one who secretly sent someone to pick me up on the night my mother passed away, and later the master taught me how to accumulate blessings and ward off misfortunes... Isn't it wrong for us to have such a good relationship?"

Hearing the words "accumulate blessings and eliminate misfortunes", the emperor's Adam's apple rolled noticeably. Shen Yu continued caringly, "Your Majesty should also know, right? I adopted six orphans. They were adopted under the guidance of the master. It is also the purpose of accumulating blessings..."

"Oh? Can you elaborate on this?" Adopting a child can bring good fortune? Glancing at the eunuch Huang beside him, he nodded and silently took note of the matter.

So Shen Yu started to talk nonsense again, such as if you want to help a woman accumulate blessings, you have to raise a boy, if you want to help a man, you have to raise a girl, etc. In the end, he did not forget to help him lead the topic to Zhuocheng, "Your Majesty, I sold my dowry for this reason. Zhuocheng is so poor, how many children can't eat? I will live in Zhuocheng with the prince in the future, but there are a lot of blessings waiting for me to accumulate!!!"

Seeing her eyes sparkling, the emperor smiled and said with regret, "I have never seen you before. If I had known that you were so interesting, you would have been suitable for my son..."

"But your cheerful personality is suitable for Yingxing. He is a dull person. I have kept him by my side since he was very young. The thought of him leaving me... Oh, I get worried every time I think about it..." After saying this, he shook his head and sighed, showing the unspeakable uneasiness of an old father whose son is thousands of miles away.

There is no mention of concubines, so why give them a gift? That means they are just concubines? ! Pah! It is an insult to the personality of the great god Yu! It would be better for her to marry little Luzi! !

Lu Yingxing helped him out today, so Shen Yu was willing to help him out. "Your Majesty, don't worry. I will definitely bring him along to accumulate merit with me when the time comes!! Oh, after hearing what you said, I can't wait to go to Zhuocheng and show my skills. Your Majesty, do you think we should set off next month?"

The emperor remained calm, but the evil in his eyes deepened. "The 'State Banquet in Linyue' will be held in June this year. Did you rush back in the middle of it?"

Seeing that she was still pretending to be confused, the emperor ran out of patience and said meaningfully, "Shen Yu...are you still going to play dumb? You should know why I want to keep you here, right?"

After hearing this, Shen Yu was silent for a few seconds, then lowered his head and chuckled. The innocence in his eyes completely faded away. Negotiating with the enemy's top leader... I really miss it a little when I think about it!

"Then Your Majesty...what does you want Shen Yu to do?" Looking up again, those phoenix eyes were as sharp as knives, as if they could see through the secrets in the other's heart, sharp and piercing.

Perhaps sensing the murderous intent, several Dragon Guards quickly jumped out from the darkness and pointed their weapons at her.

The emperor waved his hand to let them retreat. His narrow black pupils were filled with deep malice, like a poisonous snake hiding in the darkness, locking onto its prey. "Shen Yu, you are quite courageous!"

Shen Yu waved his hand indifferently, "Your Majesty, I haven't offended you, have I? You asked me to marry into the palace obediently, and I did, didn't I?"

"Then do you know that your father originally planned to sacrifice you? I saved your life, and didn't you also say that I helped you resolve your fate? How do you plan to repay me for saving your life twice?"

"Then...I'll help you kill Lu Yingxing?"
