The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits

"Your Majesty is angry?" Shen Yu tilted his head, "because I hurt myself?"

"Yes," Shang Junlin did not deny, "I know that Ayu has his own reasons for doing this, but I still hope that next time, no, I will not let the same thing happen again."

"It's my fault this time," Shen Yu raised his uninjured hand and stroked the man's face, "I know His Majesty will protect me..."

But at that moment, he still chose to believe in himself subconsciously. He didn't want to leave too much trouble for Shang Junlin. He was used to everyone relying on himself.

"I don't mean to blame Ayu," Shang Junlin changed the subject bluntly, "Don't talk about that, Ayu has a good rest, I'll go check the situation."

Can this be blamed on depression?

can not.

Shang Junlin was concerned and confused. He knew that if Shen Yu didn't do anything at that time, things would definitely develop to their unfavorable side. He knew it was one thing, but he still couldn't bear it when Shen Yu was injured.

He can't speak harshly to Shen Yu, nor can he send his anger towards Shen Yu. In this matter, Shen Yu is right about everything, but it is the person who made the plan behind the scenes and tried to pull Shen Yu into the water.

Shang Junlin didn't stay for a long time, he couldn't ignore what happened tonight, and left after making sure that the depression was okay. Shen Yu leaned on the head of the bed, looking at the bed curtain above his head, his eyes were a little blank.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for many people.

Shen Yu's hand was injured and affected by Xiang Xiang, the whole person was sullen, until it was almost dawn, Shang Junlin didn't come back.

Shen Yu squinted for a while, saw Shang Junlin walk in, and sat up from the bed.

"Why didn't Ayu sleep?"

Shen Yu smelled blood from the man, and frowned slightly: "What did your majesty do?"

Shang Junlin took a step: "It's nothing, Fang Jun interrogated the assassin."

Shen Yu looked at him suspiciously, seriously suspecting that Shang Junlin had done it himself.

Shen Yu didn't know, what he suspected was the truth of the matter.

After he was injured, Shang Junlin had nowhere to vent his anger, and went directly to see the dance girl who tried to assassinate him. No one knew what torture the dance girl suffered. Later, when Fang Jun went in, he only saw that the dance girl was being The blood-stained clothes and the coldness made Shang Junlin inaccessible.

"I never thought I was a good person. I want you to repay the amount of blood you caused Ayu to bleed today!"

After so many years of enthronement, especially after Shen Yu entered the palace, Shang Junlin's temper was somewhat restrained. Fang Jun had not seen such a furious king for a long time. Dare to raise any doubts about Shen Yu, they realized very clearly that Shen Yu was an untouchable scale in Shang Junlin's heart, and he would die if he touched it.

No one dared to take the initiative to provoke the angry king. They were not stupid, and they reacted afterward. Looking at the interaction between Shang Junlin and Shen Yu at the banquet, they knew how the two got along in private. As Shang Junlin said, if Shen Yu really wanted to be detrimental to him, so there was no need to spend a lot of time arranging the assassination of the dancer.

The ministers were temporarily placed in the palace. Fortunately, the palace was large enough and there were many vacant palaces.

Shang Junlin personally interrogated, and the dancer who refused to reveal the truth under Fang Jun's interrogation finally couldn't bear it and admitted that she was framing depression.

But he still refused to say who the instigator was.

Fang Jun was afraid that the dancer would be directly killed, so he dared to stop Shang Junlin's interrogation.

Shang Junlin calmed down and returned to Yuzhang Palace.

Under Shen Yu's questioning, Shang Junlin said lightly about the progress of the matter: "Those who are involved with the assassin have been imprisoned, and Fang Jun will arrange for them to be interrogated."

"What does Your Majesty plan to do with these people?" After asking, Shen Yu felt that he had asked a stupid question, and leaned on the bed, "Does Your Majesty want to rest for a while?"

Shang Junlin walked to the bed and sat down, tucked the quilt for Shen Yu: "I'll have something to deal with later, so I won't rest."

"Mu Xi, let the small kitchen prepare some food." Shen Yu was not reluctant, this time the assassination took place in the palace, and it was more troublesome to deal with than the last time.

"Ayu is hungry?"

Shen Yu nodded: "Your Majesty, please accompany me a little."

Shang Junlin did not refuse.

The small kitchen moved quickly, and after a while, under the leadership of Mu Xi, the meals were placed one by one.

Because it was in the morning, the food prepared was mainly light, and Shang Junlin didn't choose, and finished breakfast with Shen Yu.

The light of the sky suddenly appeared, the sun rose slowly, and Shang Junlin held a gloomy hand and walked on the path.

The winter sun brought warmth and warmth, and Shen Yu raised his hand to block his eyes.

Shang Junlin looked at his hand, his eyes dimmed.

What he held was Shen Yu's uninjured hand, and what Shen Yu used to shade the light was the injured hand, the palm was wrapped in layers of white cloth, and the ferocious wound across the palm could not be seen, but Shang Junlin would never forget it. , the hand was dripping with blood.

Noticing the man's gaze, Shen Yu put down his hand, stretched it out in front of Shang Junlin and shook it: "The medicine of Imperial Physician Gu works very well, and it doesn't hurt anymore."

"Ayu, don't hurt yourself next time." Shang Junlin's eyes were complicated, and there was a hint of depression in his tone.

"No," Shen Yu didn't like Shang Junlin's expression, "I promise."

A breeze blew, and the hair on Shen Yu's cheeks was blown away, he stopped and turned to look at Shang Junlin: "If it weren't for this accident, I wouldn't have been able to see such a beautiful sunrise with Your Majesty. , Your Majesty, don't think about those unhappy things, look ahead, how beautiful."

A huge red sun is slowly rising—

Not far from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, a silent battle gradually came to an end.

The leader of the forbidden army wiped the blood on his face and said in a hoarse voice: "See if there is any alive."

Their purpose is not only to solve the people hiding in the dark trying to rescue the King of Yue, but also to find out who is behind the scenes through these people.

They deliberately let down their vigilance in order to give the people behind the scenes a chance to catch the biggest fish behind them.

An unremarkable house in the suburbs of Beijing.

The man in the dark blue robe had a black mask on his face that could cover his entire face. In front of him were two men in black kneeling respectfully.

"It's dawn, they haven't come back yet." The man in the dark blue robe said.

His voice was hoarse, and it was impossible to tell the approximate age from his voice alone.

"The subordinates have already lined up to respond."

The man snorted coldly: "Don't bring back some things that shouldn't be brought back."

"boom--"

During the conversation, there was a loud noise outside the house, and the expressions of the three people in the room changed slightly.

A strong ominous premonition rose in the man's heart.

This time, he should not have come. According to his usual style, no matter what he does, he will leave it to the people below, but this time because of helping the King of Yue to rebel, the people in his hands have suffered too much damage. At present, the imperial court has also sent people to arrest his people, many strongholds have been destroyed, the power has been drastically reduced, and for a while, they have fallen into a predicament that no one can use.

For King Yue, he has paid too much, and it is impossible to watch King Yue be killed no matter what. The forces he developed were arrested, destroyed, and there were not many that could be used. Even if he didn't act in person this time, it wouldn't take long for those people to follow the clues to find him.

After weighing it again and again, there is only one viable opportunity left, so he took the remaining elite power and did the opposite. When he came to the capital, he had not much power in his hands, but this did not mean that, apart from these , he has no other power to use.

The premise is that he can rescue the King of Yue safely.

Without King Yue, he couldn't activate those forces, which was why he tried every means to rescue King Yue before.

A stick of incense time passed, and there was no movement outside, and the man became more and more flustered.

The silence spreads, as if it were the last tranquility before the storm.

The man fidgeted, got up from the chair, walked to the wall, and gently moved the flowerpot on the desk.

A crack appeared in the middle of the wall, and slowly, the gap became larger and larger, forming a hole that could accommodate two people.

Before he could walk into the dark passage, the door of the study was violently broken open from the outside, and the person who came was wearing a uniform black armor, and under the sunlight, there was a cold glow.

The man's eyes were splitting: "Hidden Dragon Guard—"

The leader raised his hand slightly, and the people behind him entered the house well-trained. Most of the men brought by the man were sent out to rescue King Yue. Facing the hidden dragon guard, it could be said that they were powerless to fight back.

On the first day of the new year, the court was busy.

Shen Yu took a nap for a while, and went to the imperial study to find Shang Junlin.

The Prime Minister, Fang Jun and other ministers were all there, and the incident that happened near the prison of the Ministry of Punishment had been passed to the palace. Some officials were released after confirming that they had no problems, and the rest went to the imperial study.

Eunuch Meng was guarding outside. Seeing Shen Yu, he hurriedly greeted him: "Your Majesty wants to see His Majesty? His Majesty is discussing affairs with the ministers inside."

Shen Yu thought for a while, did not go in, but went to the side hall: "I will not disturb the official business of Your Majesty and all the ministers. When His Majesty is done, I would ask Eunuch Meng to help me and His Majesty speak."

"Why is your presence disturbing?" Eunuch Meng led the people to the side hall, arranged everything before leaving.

Shen Yu has been in the palace for more than a year, except for some time ago, he has come to the imperial study very few times. Some time ago, in order to urge His Majesty to hint at the meal, Shen Yu went to the imperial study, not the side hall.

Even though the number of visits is small, the layout of the side hall has changed a lot compared to the original, and there are many small details that I like.

Shen Yu didn't wait long before Shang Junlin came over.

"Ayu wants to see me and go in directly, you don't need to wait for me in the side hall." Shang Junlin stepped forward and stroked his gloomy cheek.

"It's not good to disturb His Majesty's business," Shen Yu didn't want to dwell too much on this issue, "I came here to ask, did the assassin recruit?"

"She didn't want to say anything. Fang Jun said that they should be raised first and then tried, lest they die without asking anything."

"What about the other people who have contact with the dancer, any useful clues?"

On the way here, Shen Yu heard Mu Xi say that, including all the dancers who performed the dance last night, they are now detained, and the guards are very strict, and outsiders can't find any useful information.

Shen Yu wanted to know, it was the quickest way to ask Shang Junlin directly.

Shen Yu rubbed the tea cup in his hand, his voice was very soft: "I always want to know who is so malicious to me."
