Gu Yun's body was sore all over from lying in bed for too long. He wanted to change his posture, but it was inconvenient to move. That old maid Shen had sharp vision, but as he saw him struggling hard at the head of the bed, he did not even come up to help but continued the incessant chatter: "In the first few days, when you were playing chess with old man Hell King, His Royal Highness had watched over you all day and night without resting, regardless of his injuries. His body was covered in needles, even his neck couldn't bend, we all could not bear to look. I'm telling you Zi Xi, ah, he is even better than blood-related..."

Gu Yun had no patience left, grumpily interrupting: "Blood-related my ass, where do you find so much bullshit? Get out of here!"

Instead of being frightened, Shen Yi even approached with his face held high and pressed on: "Why, what unfortunate deed did you commit to offend the other? I'm telling you, Zi Xi, His Highness is not the child you can bend and mold however you please anymore, you're almost..."

Gu Yun whispered: "Brother Ji Ping, please consider how I nearly sacrificed myself for the country and go away."

Shen Yi keenly caught the words 'a difficult to express ordeal' written on his face.

General Shen had been bullied by Gu Yun for many years, he could not win against him, nor could he talk against him, and a long history of hatred had built up. It was difficult to finally be able to laugh at him, there was no chance he would let go of it easily, his curiosity was about to explode. "Hurry, you see, right now everywhere in the court is bleak and gloomy, let's talk about your misfortune for some fun."

Gu Yun: "..."

Thus, there was no more sound in the room, the two people who were just shouting at each other started exchanging words through sign language.

After an incense period, Shen Yi carried an expression as if he had been struck by lightning, rigidly flying out of Gu Yun's room.

Speaking of the devil, His Highness Yan Wang had also returned, meeting with Shen Yi face to face.

Chang Geng greeted him: "General Shen has come, how is my yifu doing?"

Shen Yi: "..."

In the face of Chang Geng, General Shen, the governor of the Southwest, changed through several expressions. At last, not even a fart could be let out. As if he had seen the devil, he hugged the wall and disappeared.

Note:

A reminder of the statuses from chapter 17: a title of one character was called Qin Wang (Prince). For example, the Second Prince was granted the title of "Wei Wang". A title made of two characters was called Jun Wang - they were slightly lower in status compared to the former, usually separated from the members of the royal family by a grade.
