"Let me go."

Watching Song Jiang get angry again, Tang Yu felt like he had accidentally provoked a lion. Unlike a lion, which would tear apart its prey and devour it, Song Jiang would not.

"It's impossible," Song Jiang said emphatically. Even if Tang Yu never accepted him, that would be fine. He would imprison him for the rest of his life. "You are mine. Even if you die, you will still be mine."

"Song Jianglin, what do you really think of me?" Tang Yu chuckled beneath his breath, his eyes fixed upon Song Jianglin with an expression of confusion. He was a man after all, how could Song Jianglin possibly see him as something else?

Song Jiang was at a loss for words. He really didn't know how to categorize Tang Yu. To say that Tang Yu was just a male pet would be underestimating his importance in Song Jiang's heart. He was more than just a male pet; he held a position that even surpassed that of Jing Hua. Jing Hua was an important chess piece Song Jiang needed to strip Minister Xuan Tianxin of power, and his feelings towards Jing Hua were characterized by indebtedness rather than affection.

"Song Jianglin, if you haven't figured out what role to assign me yet, come see me when you have made up your mind," Tang Yu calmly said, knowing full well that Song Jianglin would be unable to provide an answer.

Song Jiang did not give Tang Yu a hard time again. After getting out of bed, he looked at Tang Yu for a long time as he was lost in thought. Finally, he closed his eyes and said, "Tang Yu, I will give you the answer you want. However, if I find out that you are harming yourself again during this time, I will make everyone in Kangguo pay the price for your actions."

Song Jiang left in a huff. Shun Gonggong, who was guarding the door, saw that Song Jiang's expression was unpleasant and immediately knelt down, curling himself into a ball. How did Young Master Yu provoke His Majesty again? By following Young Master Yu, his own life is truly in danger!

Song Jiang approached Shun Gonggong and stopped. Shun Gonggong trembled, "Your Majesty, have mercy! Your Majesty, have mercy!"

"Shut up." Song Jiang glanced at him impatiently, "Take good care of him."

Sun Gonggong looked up in shock, forgetting even to acknowledge the command. He stared blankly as Song Jiang walked out of the Qingfeng Pavilion. It seemed as if he had come back to life. It had to be said that ever since Sun Gonggong had been transferred to the Qingfeng Pavilion these past few days, his heart had been frightened day by day. If this continued, he would either be scared to death or scared senseless.

"Sir?" Steward Shun quietly opened the door and peered in through the crack. Tang Yuxiu's tall figure stood straight in front of the window, his back facing Steward Shun. He possessed an imperial demeanor that made Steward Shun feel like biting himself to death. What was he thinking? This was a matter that could cost him his head.

The current people of Kangguo have no worries except for Yuner. The reason why he did not resent Song Jianglin for becoming a captive is because he has settled the people of Kangguo very well, treating them like his own subjects. There is no burning, killing, or suffering, just like before. The people are still peaceful and prosperous. Therefore, he has no reason to hate Song Jianglin. Instead, he should be grateful to him for helping him leave that throne.

However, what he hadn't anticipated was that he had escaped from one cage only to be locked up in an even larger one.

"Gongzi?" Shun Gonggong called out to Tang Yu, seeing him lost in a cold trance.

"What's the matter? If you're still trying to persuade me, there's no need to say more." Tang Yu hobbled towards the wardrobe. After only taking two steps, his whole body began trembling. Upon seeing this, Shun Gonggong quickly ran over and handed Tang Yu some clothes.

Shun Gonggong swallowed the words that were about to come out of his throat. After helping Tang Yu put on his clothes, Shun Gonggong hesitated for a while. But he couldn't hold back any longer and finally said as he walked to the door, "Young Master, His Majesty truly treats you well!"

Tang Yu's hands, in the process of straightening his clothes, froze for a moment. According to Shun Gong, Song Jianglin has been good to him. Lin Guang said the same thing, and Yao Guang too. It seems that Song Jianglin, for better or worse, will never be able to escape from this person in his lifetime.

Shun Gonggong, I don't know if you have ever heard a poem." Tang Yutu suddenly spoke, smiling as he looked at Shun Gonggong, he recited it like the flowing of water, "Walking until the end of the water, sitting and watching the clouds rise."

Shun Gonggong furrowed his eyebrows together. He had never received an education, so he didn't know the meaning of this poem. However, it seemed to him that it was very profound.

After Shun Gonggong closed the door, he suddenly remembered, did Young Master Yu just smile? Thinking about the Emperor's appearance just now, although he seemed unhappy, he still cared a great deal about Young Master Yu. Could it be that Young Master Yu agreed to something with the Emperor and then brought up some difficult conditions for the Emperor?

In a certain sense, Shun Gonggong has grasped the truth, and when speculating further, his mind has already exhausted. He is thinking, is Young Master Yu planning to disband the harem, which is why His Majesty is facing such difficulties.

Tang Yu shifted his body in front of the mirror and looked at his face reflected in it. It could not be denied that there was a certain delicate charm to his features, but this was only because he usually spent his time in the study and rarely saw sunlight. Why, then, did he catch the attention of men?

Lin Gege is one, and Song Jianglin is also one. In the past, Tang Lin once said, "Yuer's face is much more beautiful than that little maid you picked up."

The little maid from the past is none other than Yun'er now. Yun'er has grown up and become the most beautiful woman in the imperial city. I have entrusted her to Jiusheng. With the protection of General Jiusheng, Yun'er will be safe and happy.

But his second elder brother, Tang Ling, has been missing since that day. It is unknown how many times he has secretly searched, but there is not the slightest trace of news. If he is still alive, he would definitely come to rescue him and take him away!

"Brother Jiusheng, have you finally found out where Brother Yu is being held?"

In the inn, a female disguised as a martial arts heroine suddenly kicked open a door. The men inside were at a loss, and when they saw the woman in front of them, they were overcome with a headache. He truly regretted bringing her along. Where did the gentle and lovely woman he knew from the palace go?

Watching the man rub his forehead, the woman became displeased. "Brother Jiucheng, I've already told you before, there were rules in that place. If I made any mistakes, Brother Yu would definitely make things difficult for me, which is why he acted that way. In the past, when it was just the two of us, I was also like this."

"Okay, okay, Miss, can you please be quiet for a while?" Jiu Cheng said helplessly. If it weren't for promising the emperor that he would take good care of Yun'er, he would definitely have thrown her away.

"Hey?" Yun'er looked as her eyes suddenly widened. Something white fell from the sky.

"Miss, what's wrong with you again?" Jiusheng said with a headache. If he wasn't waiting for news, he definitely wouldn't have returned to the inn.

"I just saw a pigeon fall down," Yun'er covered her mouth and said, her big round eyes staring at Jiusheng.

"It's just a pigeon, right? If it's lost..." Jiusheng paused halfway through his sentence, suddenly feeling that something was not right. He stood up in a panic, staring at Yun'er and asking, "What did you just say? Pigeon? Where did it go?"

"That direction seems to be... the kitchen," Yun'er said, clutching her neck. Suddenly, she felt like she had caused trouble again and was about to quietly slip away when Jiucheng caught her. "Where are you going? Come with me to find the pigeon."
