Yu er is also giving birth (in the novel), but tbh I always think he is using a special underwear and stuff ever since I read this one historic BL, I hope the manhwa is different from the novel both are good but yu er is like a woman in that novel and it’s BL after all(づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ

Spoiler
I dont think there will be rainbow after this. Things got worse pretty quickly. Seme used the uke to get to the emperor. He purposely become crueler to the uke ( accuse uke cheating, having affair with other people although its just an act, punish uke purposely, throw away uke precious gift which make uke crawl in the snow to search until his hand bleeding, even letting uke mother be captured by emperor and a lot more and i hate it). This is to be done so that the uke will leave and the emperor will take the uke. This is soo that the uke will learn the chu clan secret( its long i dont want to explain about this clan. Just think a clan have advance medical and technology knowledge). He and the emperor know uke is the decendent from the clan.
The seme know the emperor will tell the uke naturally without him interfering thus killing two birds with in throw. The uke will learn about his clan secret because the emperor trust and love him. And the seme can continue his plan to seize the throne and get the secret from.
Will continue the spoiler if people interested to know. I know some people dont like a lot of spoiler so i will stop here.

I will continue since you dont mind. I name myself me spoiler.
Ok. Just to be clear. The seme love the uke. He just think that it was find to use the uke and make it up later. He was in lot of trouble for that kind of thinking. Also, remember the princess poison the uke? The uke still have the poisonnand will suffer greatly everytime the poison attack. Oh and the seme have the antidote but never give it to uke.
Continue from previous. The seme did a lot of shit to uke. This is after the emperor left with the princess.( The emperor also create misunderstanding deliberately before leaving. ).One of them is pretending to have sex with a prostitute. I name him Hong. Hong even come to the uke to provoke him. Seme also punish the uke with cold water(it was the disguise to slow down the poison effect) by saying that uke have affair with other people.
Heartbroken, uke think seme dont like him anymore. So he start to redeem himself by doing all the servant work. Song was very distress for uke and help him do. The work. Uke got 10 silver(i think) from seme for all his work and manage to leave the palace. He want to return to his mother to redeem them both so that they will be free from being slave. u fortunately, her mother already being capture by emperor (seme plan). Uke doesnt know and come to the plead for the seme to release his mother thinking the seme capture her. Seme just dont care.
In short version, uke after having nowhere to go, stay at Hong place. I mean the brothel Hong work. And then the emperor palace after the brothel burn down( yeah, conspiracy there.lazy to tell). The emperor never force uke and quite good to uke( minus taking uke mother. Uke doesnt know) uke starting to learn all his clan secret and stop being a naive person. Cant i continue?

Does the uke ever go back to the prince? I hope he doesn't, he pretty much used the uke to gain the throne. I feel so bad for our poor uke :(

To clear things up. The emperor is jealous of zhenbei because he is clearly superior in everything. In martial, military and even have beautiful lover(yuer). This is what prompt him to want to attack zhenbei. Since zhenbei being attack, he just go along and plan to take the throne since the emperor provoke him.
So, after some time, zhenbei think yuer have enough information about the key to open the chu clan tomb(he got spy everywhere). He purposely let himself got capture by the emperor( i forgot for what purpose but ithink regarding chu clan or yuer mother). When the emperor come to the prison to have a talk with zhenbei, yuer secretly eavesdropping. He heard zhenbei tell the emperor that he doesnt love yuer, just using him because he is chu clan descendant. By this time, yuer already lost hope on zhenbei. He steal the key to free zhenbei have sex for the last time with him saying its for mercy so that the debt between them will be no more. When they get out of the prison together to the outside, zhenbei subordinate already waiting. Yuer realise that zhenbei already have escape plan and the thing he just done is useless. yuer blamed himself thinking he can get upper hand on zhenbei where all along zhenbei already plan everything. Zhenbei ask yuer to run with him but yuer refuse. When yuer return to his room, the emperor ask why he did that and whether he like the emperor or not.
Zhenbei proceed to attack the palace. Hong and Song also follow. During the comotion, yuer go to find his mother. By this time, he already know where his mother is and want to run together with her. Zhenbei kill the emperor and run to search for yuer mother, fearing that if he late, something unreversable will happen. Unfortunetely, when he arrive at the cell that keeping yuer mother, a guard already just finish killing her because of emperor order. He killed the guard and while still standing holding the weapon above yuer mother body, yuer arrive and saw.

I think i need to tell some point that i lazy to explain before
1. Chu clan is a powerful clan with advanced technology and medicine. powerful people want this secret to conqure the world. Yuer is one of the pure decendant from the clan. The chu clan being hunt down and killed because they refuse to share their knowledge. Their number greatly dissipate and as last resort, they put all their knowledge and secret in the secret tomb. The key to open only the chun clan people know. Nowadays, only a handful chu clan people remained and only some are pure blood. The other already marry people outside of the clan. They live in secret place to avoid being capture. They actually have disticnt feature that different from other people. (Forgot what it is)
2. The time when zhenbei ask Hong to act with him to push yuer to go put of palace willingly, Hong, yuer and song actually became familiarize with each other since Hong live there for awhule. Hong like Song ( they have their own story). When yuer stay at the brothel temporarily, he actually become quite a good friend with Hong. Yuer also develop brotherly relationship with Song during the time where zhenbei treat him like shit. Zhenbei actually use the closeness of their relationship to accuse yuer having affair with Song. Yuer also become good friend with the doctor.
3. Remember that yuer is a stand in? Actually in the palace, original Shen Yu( i will just call her osy) work there. When zhenbei come to kill the emperor, she fall in love with him because he is more powerful. She regret running away from becoming zhenbei concubine. She started to have delusion that yuer place should belong to her since she is the one that supposed to be sent. She enter zhenbei palace as servant to have a chance to seduce him.

Seeing his mother body, yuer ignore the prince and run directly towards his mother. He tried to put the silver he earn in his mother hand.l, while saying that they are free. He tried several time but fail to wake up his mother and come to reality and cried heavily. Since he is mute, no sound came but seeing yuer cry make zhenbei heart sad. He realize why zhenbei endure the humiliation while doing the servant work. All because he want to become independent with his mother. Zhenbei try to approach yuer but yuer have became feral and refuse to let zhenbei come near.
Yuer then carry his mother body with his weak body to find coffin. Without any other choice, zhenbei can only follow from far. He come to coffin store but the seller refuse to sell because all the coffin already sold( remember zhenbei come to attack. Its a aftermath of war. So there are many dead body). Yuer plead and give the seller silver saying he has money. Realizing yuer is mute, the seller to take the money without giving any coffin but before he can do it, zhenbei kick and hit him brutally. Yuer, because of exhaustion and already at limit, fainted.

Sorry, in part 5 it was yuer who endure the humiliation, not zhenbei.
When yuer wake up, zhenbei is at his side. He tell yuer that his mother is being buried near the royal burial. Seeing no reaction, zhenbei tell yuer that it was not him he killed his mother. He dont want yuer to misunderstand him. Yuer just replied 'it as the king said'. Seeing such a cold reaction from yuer, zhenbei repeat saying that he didnt killed his mother. Yuer just reply with the same sentence. Zhenbei become mad and ask if yuer doesnt believed him. Yuer just said that he was just a slave and lowly person(something like that), he doesnt have the qualitification to doubt the king word. Zhenbei started to become restless.
He try to show yuer the paper which yuer wrote his and zhenbei name, saying that he treasure and always carry it with him. Yuer just said he was amazed at the zhenbei long term plan to make him fall in love by teaching him and use him later. Zhenbei become shock.
Yuer ask to be given some term. He want to feeely enter and out of palace. When asked wether he want to run, he just said that since zhenbei is the emperor, where can he run. He also provoke zhenbei saying that Song is a better man. Yuer also suggest zhenbei to take other lover since his body is currently very weak and cannot cater to zhenbei lust. Zhenbei refuse. Since he fall in live with yuer, he never sleep with other people. Even with the prostitute Hong is just an act. Since zhenbei refuse, yuer ask to rest for 1 year before continue his service in bed. Zhenbei only give yuer 3 month and by the time, he will claim his body and the secret to open the chu clan tomb. Yuer agree. He just want to live calmly. He know he doesnt have long time to live because of the poison in his body.
Zhenbei come out from the room angrily. He cannot punish yuer since he want to gain yuer heart again. from his point of view, as long as they come together again after he become emperor, as long as he make it up to yuer, yuer will forgive him and they will continues living together happily.

Seeing yuer sad, although he doesnt he agree with zhenbei, for yuer calm of mind, he told yuer that zhenbei have killed many minister who ask zhenbei to kill yuer saying yuer is a curse. This is done while yuer unconscious. Yuer just think that the zhenbei have other plan for him. Not because of love. The doctor ask about the poison attack.

By that time, he was attack again by the poison. Doctor ask him whether the treatment and medicine that he ask yuer to take have any effect. He just shake his head while smiling. They know that after one or two attack more, yuer will die. Yuer ask the doctor to take his ash far away from north and scatter it at the south. He want it to be far away from the palace. The doctor become sad hearing this and ask yuer not to give up.
The nearer the wedding day, the sadder and angrier zhenbei become. He is waiting for yuer to come to him to stop him from marrying. Zhenbei doesnt even care about anything relating to the wedding ceremony.nhe only care about yuer coming stopping him. On the wedding day, yuer still doesnt come. While bowing ceremony, looking at the bride, he think about yuer. If during the first time yuer enter the palace, they have a wedding ceremony, would they have different ending. Will yuer trust him more. He unconsciuosly called yuer name. OSY, thinking that the king love and calling her name, reply to the king. When hearing the Bride reply, zhenbei become cold instantly.

He give zhenbei the only gift zhenbei have give him, the jade. Zhenbei doesnt want to accept the give, throw it away and the jade shatter. Yuer pick up all the jade piece and give to zhenbei back. By this time, ISY come outside and saw yuer and think that yuer want to take away zhenbei. OSY yuer bicker between each other. Hearing how yuer have change and now know how to become mean to other people, zhenbei scold yuer saying he has change. Yuer just whisper in his heart saying should he just remain an innocent and naive boy so that he can continue being used. Dont want to drag, yuer wish zhenbei and osy congratulation on their wedding and went away. After he went away, osy want to coax zhenbei to enter their room.

Yuer return to his room and started to tidy and clean up his room. He write the letter and ask the servant to sent it to zhenbei. Then he went to the doctor to ask for some viagra/aphrosidiac. After that he went to have tea with song and hong. Looking at song and hong bickering, he feel happy for them. he know that they like each other but Song is to straightforward and to upright to accept Hong as he is a prostitute. He secretly put the drug in the alcohol that they drink. After a while he return to his room and change his cloth. He start to prepare.
Zhenbei in the study room accept the letter that yuer wrote. He want to burn the letter but change his mind and read it. He quickly ride the horse to the royal grave(yuer mom grave is there). When he arrive, he saw that yuer mom grave have been dug out and suddenly he is being attack by several shadow people. He knew they are the remnant of emperor. He ask where is yuer and whether they harm him. They just said he have been dupe by his lover and he will die today.
Yuer come to see zhenbei when he is being summon. Entering the room, he saw that zhenbei abdomen being wrap with a little blood. There are also a cup of poison on the table. Zhenbei tell yuer that he is being attack. He also said that he went there according to the letter because he want to grasp the slim chance for them to reconcile seeing yuer send the letter. He also worry that something happen to yuer and that the shadow people tell yuer also contribute to the plan. Due to yuer lack of respond, he knew that yuer plan it. (From here onward i forgot the sequence of their talk. Forgive me but the content is all being said between them). Yuer just said that he knew the shadowy figure cannot kill zhenbei and his mother grave was dug by him. He already ask the doctor help to scatter his mother ash somewhere else. When yuer die, he also will tell the doctor to scatter his ash far away from the palace. Yuer also confirm that he hate zhenbei to the core(ouch). Zhenbei become really angry and tell that if yuer die, he will never let him go. His ash will be put in the palacr.
Zhenbei proceed to threaten him to tell the key to the secret chu clan tomb. Befofe he can finish his sentence, yuer said 'if not, i must drink the poison?'. He quickly take the poison and drink it down. Zhenbei ask whether he is not afraid to die and what about Song(he still misunderstand). Yuer just said that song will be happy. In his heart, he knew the drug must already take effect and Song and Hong already done the deed. Yuer also said
Zhenbei suddenly restless. He feel that something is slipping from his. He tell yuer that yuer plan to die will not continue as the poison is actually the cure for the poison in yuer body. Yuer knew because the doctor already tell him about the cure and zhenbei has it, but never give to yuer. Yuer suddenly vomit black blood. Zhenbei become restless as the effect of the poison should not be like this. He hug yuer when yuer become weak. He scream 'what did you do!'. Yuer said at first, he just want to get out from the backside yard, after that he want to get out of the palace. Now he cant even do any of that. When his mother die, his heart also died. He shove a box that he bring to zhenbei. Zhenbei ignore the box and keep checking yuer. Yuer keep shoving the box to him saying how come you know you dont want it if you didnt check the content. Zhenbei doesnt feel well and take the box. When he look inside, his blood freeze and he become pale. inside the box is yuer unique little left finger from pure chu clan descendent. This is the key to the chun clan tomb. Yuer fainted and zhenbei scream and cry.

Part 10
Forgot to mention, yuer told zhenbei that although he knew zhenbei will not die when being attack, he still betray him because he want zhenbei to taste the what the feel of being betray by someone they love.
Moving on, Song wake up and found out that he has been sleeping (ehem) with Hong. He become confuse as how this can happen. Hong also wake up and they bicker. Suddenly they got notice about yuer condition.
In yuer room, the doctor try his best to save yuer. Zhenbei plead the doctor to save yuer. The doctor doesnt hold back in criticizing zhenbei. He was very sad thinking how someone so naive and joyful like yuer being driven to commit suicide by zhenbei. Zhenbei doesnt get angry at the doctor just continue cleaning and putting medicine at yuer amputate finger. Because he never treat someone before, his job is very messy. He treat yuer very gently.
The doctor just sighing looking at zhenbei. Luckily, when yuer come and ask for poison from him(forgot the poison name), he give yuer faking death poison instead. He himself doesnt know the effect of the poison as it being created by his ancestor. Looking at the sky that started to become brighter, he said that today is yuer birthday and he will turned 18 if he survive. Hearing this, zhenbei cry again. ( It is mention in the novel that zhenbei only cry twice all hos life. One when yuer fainted after drinking the poison, one when he knew today was yuer birthday)

Part 11
Zhenbei take care of yuer. Turning the needle from time to time according to the doctor advice. He keep talking to to yuer. He tell yuer that the tradition here is to eat longevity noodle during birthday so he eat it. He tell yuer that he can eat when he wake up. zhembei suddenly remember about the red bean that yuer give him(that he throw away. Its yuer tradition). He command the soldier to search for it. The palace is filled with soldier kneeling in the snow searching for something. The soldier think the king is crazy. Lol.
Meanwhile, song look at the bean at his hand. This is yuer bean. Hong ask about the bean. Song just sigh at hope that yuer survive. Hing take the bean, look at it and pretend to throw it away. Song scold hong and tried to find to find the bean. He then ask whether hong trick him. Hong just pretend dont know anything. He look at the again later when he is alone and saw zhenbei name there.
When the doctor come out, he is being attack by Hong (in the novel, hong and the doctor love to bicker. They fight like cat and dog. Imagine two people without martial art fighting. XD). Hong blame the doctor for giving yuer poison. The doctor refute back. They go back and forth until they become tired. Hong then ask the doctor about the drug that yuer give them that night. He knew the drug come from him. the doctor frustrated and just give hong the drug. Suddenly zhenbei shout for the doctor saying that yuer have waken up.
When they enter, the doctor immediately check for yuer. He ask yuer name and whether he can remember anything. Yuer suddenly talk! Because he never talk from 4 years old, it was ackward and he can only talk a few word at a time. The doctor ask about yuer mute history. Yuer said that he was not born mute, just suddenly become mute when he was 4 years old when someone attack and killed some of his family..the doctor concur that because of the shock, yuer become mute. The combination of the antidote for the poison that zhenbei give yuer and the fake death poison that stuck at his throat, stimulate the ability for yuer to talk again.
Zhenbei become happy and try to come near yuer. Yuer suddenly become afraid and hide behind the doctor. Zhenbei said 'whats wrong yuer? This is me' and try again. Yuer hide again behind the doctor. Zhenbei ask the doctor what wrong with yuer. The doctor ask yuer about the people in the room yuer recognize all the people including king zhenbei but he just cannot acknowledge zhenbei existent. There is a box of memory tightly being lock in yuer heart. He just know zhenbei is an cruel and scary existent. The doctor said that some of his patient react like this when they are mentally trauma. Zhenbei become sad. He prefer yuer to become angry and hit him but now, he doesnt even exist in yuer world. The doctor ask yuer to rest and want to leave with hong but yuer hold his sleeve and doesnt want to stay with this monster(zhenbei). Zhenbei become sad looking at yuer reaction. The doctor coax yuer and relictantly leave.

Part 12
During this two three days zhenbei talk nonstop to yuer but yuer never reply. Zhenbei doesnt exist in yuer world. All his memory about and with zhenbei is lock in yuer heart. Yuer only regard zhenbei as a scary person and very afraid of him. Yuer only talk with bian shi, hong and song. One day bian shi told zhenbei that only certain wheat can help for yuer recovery. Zhenbei want to order his men to find it but bian shi mock zhenbei. Saying his word that he will do anything to cure yuer is false, only depend other people, doesnr want to do it himself. Zhenbei can only become angry in his heart ( after yuer wake up, zhenbei character have become quite comedic. He never cruel again and can only curse in his heart).
Zhenbei prepare carriage to take yuer to find the wheat he told yuer that he know yuer doesnt like to be cope up in the palace and want to take yuer sightseeing outside. As usual, yuer doesnt reply. Hong and bian shi follow in other carriage. In the carriage, yuer scared of zhenbei, never want to look at him. Zhenbei talk to yuer in the carriage, telling yuer everything that he see outside. 'yuer, this is the tea shop, this is the lake that that is fruit etc.' While doing that, he purposely coming closer to yuer. passing the sweet taufu, zhenbei ask to stop and buy it giving to yuer to drink. Yuer afraid of zhenbei will hit him drink it quickly. Zhenbei misunderstood yuer like the drink and ask yuer to drink slowly and wipe yuer mouth. Meanwhile in other carriage, hong know that bian shi just tricking the emperor, asking whether he does not afraid being killed if zhenbei knew.
Arriving at the place, zhenbei ask yuer to wait and get down to ask for wheat from one of the houses. Yuer become glad when zhenbei go away, only then then can relax. Bian shi and hong take this opportunity to hop in yuer carriage. They start bickering with each other. Yuer just smile at their antics.
Zhenbei quest to find the wheat is quite unsuccessful. Some house though he was a bandit(he is wearing normal cloth but still got the king aura. People can see he is not ordinary). Some house just throw him away without hearing what he want to say. One house though he come as a client for the night. Zhenbei become sad and can only return empty handed. He never though that he, a emperor that has almost anything, cant even get some wheat to cure his lover.lol.

Spoiler part 13
During this time, zhenbei totally forgot about osy. Osy become restless. When she saw zhenbei, she offer to take care of yuer since they come from the same village. Zhenbei when saw her, just remarks in his hearts that this woman still exist in the palace and reject her offer. He knew osy have evil intention.
During this time also, Hong and Song have slept together five times more. Song confuse how can he still continue to mistakenly sleep together with Hong. Eventually he knew about the drugs and become mad at Hong(but not really mad. Somehow, Song never had the heart to really get mad at Hong).
In the meantime, OSY didnt give up. By bribing the guard, she manage to meet yuer. She said mean thing to yuer so that yuer will want to go out of the palace. She said that yuer can never give birth to zhenbei child. Zhenbei child will come from her womb and become the next emperor and by the time zhenbej will forget snd discard yuer. Yuer who is not well, cant accept OSY mean word. He start the shake his head saying he does not eant to stay in the palace. When zhenbei enter, he saw this sight and become mad at OSY. he ask what have she done. OSY said that they are just chatting. She said yuer is not happy staying in the palace and want to go iut of the palace. Zhenbei ask yuer whether it is true. Yuer said yes. Zhenbei then said that he will honor his request and let his stay outsude of the palace. OSY become really happy hearing this.
When all the preparation complete, zhenbei take yuer to the new place. Yuer, during the journey become very happy. He dont need to stay with the monster anymore. When they arrive, zhenbei offer his hand to yuer

Mistakenly post before finish writing. Continue part 13
To help him get down. Because yuer lost in his though, he unconsciously willingly take zhenbei hand. Zhenbei become happy and hug yuer saying that he knew that as long as he become patient and treat yuer well, they can become lovers again. Yuer just become confuse with the monster and bully reaction.
When the preparation complete, zhenbei take yuer to the new house. When he took yuer out before, he already notice that this place is good for yuer but never want to seperate from yuer. He show yuer the river, the land where yuer can grow something, the scenery. He ask whether yuer like this, yuer nod. When the servant start bringing the box of luggage, yuer become suspicious. The luggage is to many, yuer only have a few things. When he look at zhenbei, zhenbei just said happily that he will be living here too. He continue to say that he will not do anything to yuer, just that he doesnt bear to separate with yuer. Yuer start to get panic. When zhenbei ask where yuer want to sleep, he just randomly point to any house, believing they will sleep separately. Zhenbei said that the house was good for both of them to stay together! Yuer just curse the bully in his heart.
OSY was waiting for zhenbei in the palace. Believing that she already manage to get rid of yuer and can continue the plan to become the next empress. When she saw the convoy return empty handed without zhenbei, she ask the servant about it. The servant reply that zhenbei is staying with yuer. She become hysterical. The servant just ignore the crazy lady.
