"...No." Although the Ninth Prince was young, he understood the meaning and shook his head, "I don't want a palace maid. I will choose a girl I like and marry her in the future."

Shen Yunshu glanced at him calmly, "Really? What kind do you like?"

"As white as Master's wife."

When Yin Mei walked into the room carrying the brewed tea and pastries, she saw the Ninth Prince standing back again, huddled in the corner obediently and not saying a word.

"What's wrong?" Yin Mei thought that he was fine before she left, how come he became like this just a while ago.

"It's okay." Shen Yunshu said leisurely, "He stood here voluntarily."

The Ninth Prince wanted to cry but had no tears.

That night, the Ninth Prince was stabbed and injured on his way back to the palace. He was stabbed in the shoulder. It is said that he was almost half dead when he was sent back to the palace. The sword was just a little bit away from his heart. Blood dyed most of his body red. He was unconscious before he reached the palace.

The emperor was furious and demanded a thorough investigation of the matter without any leniency.

Three days later, there began to be a constant stream of people coming and going in front of the Shen Mansion. People from the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, and the Dali Temple all expressed their concern about Lord Shen's illness and expressed their wish that Lord Shen would return to court as soon as possible.

Because without Lord Shen's assistance and coordination for these three days, the emperor had to handle government affairs alone. He didn't sleep for two whole nights and had a splitting headache. He got angry in the court and directly questioned people without knowing right from wrong.

They wanted to see how seriously Lord Shen was injured, but they couldn't see Lord Shen at all. They only saw Madam Shen with red eyes, pretending to be strong.

When everyone saw Madam Shen, they thought that Madam Shen was indeed as beautiful as a fairy. Her beauty now was several times more beautiful than when she was at the palace banquet. Now that she was crying, it was even more heartbreaking, and they couldn't bear to rush in and disturb Lord Shen's rest.

"Everyone, I'm so sorry..." Yin Mei choked up, "Lord Shen is trying to save me..."

"Mrs. Shen, please stop saying that. Lord Shen is deeply in love with you. Now that he has survived a great disaster, he will surely have good fortune in the future. Madam Shen doesn't need to worry too much."

"Yes, yes. We have prepared some small gifts to show our appreciation."

"The most important thing for Lord Shen now is to rest well. After a few months, you will be able to jump around again."

Yin Mei thanked them one by one and said slowly, "I'm afraid you all have heard the rumors. The fire started in a strange way. The fire was soaring into the sky. It's really unimaginable. It's a blessing for Lord Shen to be alive now... But yesterday, the Ninth Prince came to visit with good intentions according to the Emperor's oral order. But I heard that the Ninth Prince..."

Yin Mei's tears fell, "It's all because of us that the Ninth Prince was implicated. He is still so young... My Lords, you must be careful now and don't come here so often."

Everyone was terrified and started discussing the matter.

This scene was played out five or six times in one day. Yin Mei's eyes were swollen like walnuts. In the end, she almost couldn't cry. Unexpectedly, the look of not being able to cry had a better effect. The last group of people almost cried. They could only sigh that the love between the Shen couple was really touching.
