Shi Le saw this, he took out a silver ingot from his pocket and stuffed it into Eunuch Cao's hand." A small token is not worthy of respect. Eunuch, take it and buy some wine." Eunuch Cao's eyes flickered for a moment before he quietly put the silver into his sleeve." Your Highness is truly humble and courteous. At this age, if you do n' t mind, you can just speak where you need me." "Thank you, Eunuch." Eunuch Cao smiled and waved his hand, saying that he did not dare. Then he cupped his hands to Shi Le and said that his mission had been completed. It was time to return and report to the Emperor. Shi Le handed the imperial edict to Rong Cheng when he heard this, saying that he would personally send Eunuch Cao to the entrance of the manor. In response, Eunuch Cao was overwhelmed with favor. He said that there was no need to send him off, no need to send him off. However, in the end, Shi Le personally sent him out. Shi Le stood in front of the manor's door, his gaze staring straight at the carriage that had left for a long time. Rong Cheng walked out and asked," What are you going to do next?" When Shi Le heard this, he slowly withdrew his gaze and asked," What do we do? "What else can we do?" ###Chapter4 Since ancient times, the Emperor had been suspicious. Even if she looked more like the Yun King, in the eyes of others, she was still someone of unknown origin. It was likely that someone would secretly investigate him after he left the Imperial Palace. Therefore, the best thing to do now was not to do anything, so it was best to let nature take its course. "Have someone prepare a carriage. I want to go to Yun Palace." Rong Cheng looked at the Shi Le with his back facing him and narrowed his eyes." Now that you' re going to the Yun Mansion, you' re not afraid......" Shi Le sneered and turned around to interrupt Rong Cheng." What's there to be afraid of? The Emperor personally bestowed me the title of heir and granted me a residence. "I' m just curious to see where I' ll live in the future. I don' t need to fear anything." Rong Cheng narrowed his eyes as his eyes met Shi Le pitch-black pupils. It was as if he wanted to see through them. Seeing this, Shi Le did not back down in the slightest to meet his deep eyes. After a long while, Rong Cheng turned around and ordered the servants to prepare horses to send Shi Le to the Yun Mansion. "This king still have business to attend to. I have no time to accompany you. Let Housekeeper accompany him. Remember, he returned before dark. "If it's too late, this king don' t know what will happen." After saying that Rong Cheng Fuxiu did not look at Shi Le. She turned around and entered the palace. "Your Highness." Housekeeper had Rong Cheng order to follow by Shi Le's side, looking at the guards who were close to him. Shi Le raised his head to look at the gray sky. The Yu Mansion was located on Lin'an City Zhennan Street, while the Yun Mansion was facing it, sitting down the North Street. It would take two hours for a carriage to travel without stopping. If he wanted to come back before dark, he had to hurry up! Shi Le withdrew his gaze and stepped onto the carriage. He ordered Housekeeper to hurry to the Yun Palace. Housekeeper jumped onto the carriage, turned around, and drove the carriage to the Yunwang Mansion. About an hour later, the carriage stopped steadily in front of the Yun Palace's main entrance. "Your Highness, the Yun Palace has arrived." Housekeeper respectfully jumped off the carriage and stood by the side. The Shi Le in the carriage heard this and bowed down from the carriage. His feet stepped on the thick snow and stood facing the door of the mansion. As he looked at the mottled and rusted door that was covered in seals, Shi Le couldn' t help but feel a sour feeling in his heart. In the past, Prince Yun was the North Swallow's War God, a great hero who protected the borders and the country. As the tide rose, the Yun Imperial Manor became more and more like a city. Every day, there was an endless stream of people who came to visit. But now, he had actually become so depressed and defeated. Even the snow outside the door was no longer cleaned and questioned, allowing it to accumulate. Housekeeper stood by the side and looked at the Shi Le who had been staring at the palace's gates. Xiao Sheng asked," Your Highness, are you going to go in and take a look?" "Since you' re here, let's take a look!" Shi Le looked at the door. He took a deep One mouth breath and suppressed the emotions surging in his heart. He took two steps forward and reached out to tear off the seal. With a trembling hand, he stroked the door and forcefully pushed it back. He could only hear the muffled creaking of an old man's body. The heavy, dust-covered door was once again opened. As for Shi Le memories that had been deliberately hidden and buried... .. Shi Le widened his eyes as he watched the scarlet door being slowly pushed open by his hand. What he saw was the quiet courtyard covered in snow. Shi Le lowered his eyes, restrained his trembling legs, and walked into the corridor covered in dried branches and dust. As she walked along the corridor, she saw the front hall where she used to eat with her father and mother, the courtyard where she played with her maidservant when she was young, and...... Suddenly, Shi Le walked into a courtyard. It could be said that it was the courtyard, rather than the empty space surrounded by the courtyard walls. At least in Housekeeper eyes, this was the empty space. The empty space seemed to have some special meaning to Shi Le. She muttered to herself as she walked into the empty space, her expression becoming sorrowful and painful. Seeing the land covered in snow, Shi Le closed his eyes with a heavy heart. This was once a flowerbed. The flowers and plants inside were planted and watered by her and her mother. However, apart from the snow, there was nothing else here. All of the flowers and plants that she had personally planted were no longer there. Together with the servants who had worked in the manor, they turned into a pile of dust and were buried in the manor forever...... Shi Le gathered his fists, opened his eyes, and turned around without hesitation." Housekeeper go back!" Housekeeper looked at the Shi Le walking past him and said in a low voice. Then, he followed her out of the manor and drove back to Yu Palace. When the Rong Cheng in the manor heard the servants report that the heir had returned, they stopped the brush in their hands in a slightly surprised manner. He had originally thought that Shi Le would return when the sky was dark, but he didn' t expect that he would return within an hour. It was surprisingly quick. Rong Cheng lowered his head to look at the half-drawn painting in front of him and pondered for a moment. He decisively put down the brush and got up to leave the study. However, he was only a few steps away from the study when he stopped. The reason for that was because she was the first to find him without him. However, her expression was truly heavy and solemn. "He's gone. How do you feel?" Rong Cheng eyes darkened as he looked at the Shi Le that had come to him. "I don' t think so." Shi Le didn' t even raise his eyelids and directly walked past him towards the study. As he walked, he said," Uncle Wang, I have something to discuss with you." Rong Cheng turned his head to look at Shi Le slightly solemn and heavy back. He pursed his lips and walked in. In the study room, the two of them sat opposite each other. Beside them was a charcoal basin. The hot heat drove away the cold air in the room, bringing with it the warmth of spring. Rong Cheng raised his hand and poured Shi Le a cup of hot tea. He handed it to her." Speak, what matters need to be discussed with me." Shi Le lowered his head to look at the steaming green tea in front of him:" The Emperor bestowed that mansion to me as the heir's mansion. After the mansion is repaired, I will stay." Rong Cheng then picked up the steaming hot tea in front of him and drank the One mouth. He coldly and indifferently acknowledged. "I want that mansion," Shi Le said as he raised his teacup. "However, I don' t want to use it as my heirloom." When Rong Cheng heard this, his hand that was holding the cup paused." So you want me to help you beg for mercy? "You know that if a person is too greedy, then the result isn' t that good!" Shi Le tightened the cup in his hand and whispered," I know." She knew the consequences of what she had done, but she had no choice. That residence belonged to her, to the current family. It represented her past, representing the glory of her previous family. She absolutely would not allow it to be desolate and silent until it disappeared like the flowers and plants in the garden. However, she was told to change it into the heir's manor. In the future, she would be living within it every day. She asked her own questions. Right now, she couldn' t do it, because...... .. That is her demonic barrier. ###Chapter5 Inside the room, the two of them sat quietly, neither of them speaking. Smoke wafted out from the incense burner, sending out waves of fragrance. That fragrance caused Shi Le to frown slightly. It was truly strange. Normally, it was extremely comfortable to smell this fragrance. Now that one took a closer look at it, one actually felt that it was a. It was just like the atmosphere in the current room, making one feel very uncomfortable. Thinking up to here, Shi Le decided to break this silence. "Uncle Wang, I know you have a way." Shi Le raised his head and stared at Rong Cheng. She knew that he definitely had a way, but she didn' t know if he was willing or not. Rong Cheng took a look at Shi Le." It's not like there's no way, but...... "I won' t help you." Shi Le eyes darkened." It Uncle Wang hard to forget our agreement." "Of course I won' t forget." "However, you should be very clear about your current situation. You should also know what kind of consequences it would bring if you did that," Rong Cheng said coldly. "I will not allow you to destroy this chess game. Thus, I will not help you, public or private." Shi Le left hand that was hanging on his leg curled up and tightly clenched into a fist. Although he had already expected this result, why was he so unwilling and resentful in his heart. When Rong Cheng saw Shi Le appearance, his index finger carelessly stroked the edge of the cup." It's just a mansion. If it really is your devil barrier, then it will be broken. A fool's escape was a coward's act. As for cowards, this king don' t need them." His last words weren' t very heavy, just like the falling goose feathers, very light, very light. However, when it fell into Shi Le ears, it made her heart tremble. Her clenched fist couldn' t help but tremble.
