Hong Yu put on his new clothes and went to find Yun Qingyu, seeking to serve him.
Xin Yao's jealousy flared up. Without waiting for Yun Qingyu's command, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Hong Yu by the nape of his neck, lifting him like a chick and tossing him out.
Just as Hong Yu was about to land face-first, he instinctively reached out to the ground, performing a graceful maneuver that allowed him to land perfectly in the courtyard. Furious, he shouted, "Xin Yao, how dare you! In front of the Princess Consort, you behave so rudely. His Highness should punish you severely."
As he slowly stood up, Yun Qingyu caught a glimpse of Hong Yu's agile form through the window, adorned in expensive clothing and displaying impressive martial skills.
Yun Qingyu paused for a moment before calling out, "Hong Yu."
Hong Yu immediately looked up, awaiting Yun Qingyu's instructions.
However, Yun Qingyu asked, "Do you want to visit a brothel?"
Hong Yu was taken aback and asked, "Does His Highness want me to become a courtesan?"
Yun Qingyu smiled lightly. "With your looks, if you were to entertain guests at a brothel, earning a fortune in one night shouldn't be a problem."
Excited by the thought, Hong Yu leaped forward to the window, bowing his head in loyalty. "I am His Highness's person; how could I possibly serve anyone else? I am alive as His Highness's servant and will die as His Highness's ghost. In this life and beyond, I will never..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he sensed a sharp presence approaching from behind. Instinctively on guard, Hong Yu raised his hand to counterattack, but it was too late. Xin Yao's powerful strike hit him at a pressure point.
Suddenly weakened and unable to resist, Hong Yu barely had time to call for help before Xin Yao mercilessly threw him out again—this time with even more force—sending him crashing into the flower bushes outside the courtyard.
Hong Yu lay quietly on the ground, gazing up at the starry sky, sighing inwardly: Competing for affection is so difficult. He remained still, not moving an inch.
A carefree voice suddenly broke the silence: "This is a case of dying before achieving success. I told him not to act impulsively, but he wouldn't listen. Now he should believe my words, right?"
Shen Zhongjing merely glanced over and remarked, "Those who don't believe in misfortune will suffer great losses."
At present, the most favored person in the residence was Wen Zhan. Young Master Wen didn't even go to the hall to vie for attention, yet Hong Yu dared to overreach himself. Shen Zhongjing couldn't help but chuckle, his laughter tinged with a hint of mockery.
Wen Zhan, who had been called out, let out a long sigh as he thought of Xin Yao, who was always by his side. He mused that the path of competing for affection was indeed difficult, harder than ascending to the heavens.
The three exchanged glances for a moment.
Inside the room, after throwing Hong Yu aside, Xin Yao knelt before Yun Qingyu and said solemnly, "Subordinate has overstepped his bounds; please punish me, my lord."
Yun Qingyu looked at Xin Yao, his voice softening. "There's no need for that. Any behavior that this palace did not stop is considered tacit approval. You need not apologize afterward."
"Understood," Xin Yao replied.
Yet inside, he grumbled that His Highness didn't need an attendant but had taken in that young man to stay in the back courtyard. He felt a sense of unease.
Yun Qingyu, sensing Xin Yao's thoughts, suddenly reached out and gently lifted Xin Yao's chin, scrutinizing his extraordinarily handsome face.
Startled by Yun Qingyu's unexpected action, Xin Yao showed no signs of resistance or spoke a word; he simply knelt obediently, waiting for Yun Qingyu to slowly begin speaking.
"The boy who appeared yesterday is named Yun Lingchuan. He is a subordinate of This Palace, and he possesses strong abilities, particularly in medicine and business management. His role as an Attendant is merely for convenience; you need not harbor any hostility towards him," Yun Qingyu explained.
Xin Yao sensed that Yun Qingyu was trying to clarify things for him. A stirring in his heart caused his cheeks to flush, and a certain feeling began to warm within him.
Yun Qingyu added with utmost seriousness, "You are the only personal shadow guard of This Palace, and there will be no others. As long as you do not betray This Palace, it will never abandon you. You can remain by This Palace's side. Now, get up."
Xin Yao replied, "Subordinate will never betray the master, absolutely not."
