The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits

"I'm not sure either," Shen Yu just had this idea, "After so many years, no one knew who wanted to attack me at that time."

"If I hadn't directly silenced at that time..."

Shen Yu raised his hand to cover Shang Junlin's mouth: "If Your Majesty hadn't simply silenced at that time, making those people jealous, maybe there will be a second or third assassination in the future, I can be fortunate enough to meet His Majesty once, it is impossible So lucky every time."

Shang Junlin knew that what Shen Yu said was reasonable. At that time, Shen Yu was too young and had no ability to protect himself. If it wasn't for his actions that stunned the people behind him by accident, waiting for Shen Yu would most likely never be. Endless assassination.

With slightly cool fingers on his lips, Shang Junlin moved his lips and retracted his hand gloomily.

The fingers hanging in the sleeves curled up, Shen Yu looked away: "Didn't your majesty say that you can take me to see the assassin today, when will you go?"

"I asked Meng Chang to prepare the car."

Shang Junlin was about to leave the palace, and Eunuch Meng hurriedly arranged the carriage, and the two of them went straight to the dark prison without stopping.

Fang Jun received the news of the visit of the sage, and went to the dark prison first, to arrange everything before they arrived. When you see the two of them, go forward and salute.

"The person your Majesty wants to see is here, please accompany the minister."

Because of the need to face the saint, the assassin was "referred" in advance, and was held by two jailers and brought to Shang Junlin and Shen Yu.

Because of the effect of incense, Shen Yu's memory of that day was rather vague, and he didn't even remember what the assassin looked like. After seeing him today, his memory of that day became much clearer.

The assassin's expression was sullen, and when he saw Shang Junlin, he shrank back in a conditioned reflex, and the sullenness in his eyes was replaced by fear.

Shen Yu raised his eyebrows and whispered in Shang Junlin's ear, "What did your majesty do, she is so afraid of you?"

Shang Junlin's unfeeling eyes passed over the assassin, squeezed Shen Yu's hand, and avoided talking about Shen Yu's question: "Ask what you want to ask."

Shen Yu just asked casually, not necessarily to get an answer, Shang Junlin didn't say anything, he stopped asking further, and turned to look at the assassin who was kneeling in front of him by the jailer.

"Have they arranged other actions besides you?" Shen Yu half leaned on Shang Junlin and asked.

"have."

"What action?"

"I have no idea."

"Is there anyone else besides you who did the assassination?"

"there is none left."

"In the palace, is there anyone else besides you?"

"have."

"Who gave the incense on your body?"

"It was given by the master."

...

Shen Yu asked a lot of questions one after another, and the other party answered every question, until Shen Yu asked the last question, and the other party was silent.

"why me?"

After a long time, the other party replied: "It's the master's order."

After a questioning session, it seemed that something was asked, but nothing seemed to be asked. Fang Jun explained: "This woman seems to have been specially trained, and it took me a lot of effort to pry her mouth open."

When he came out of the dark prison, Shen Yu suddenly thought of Zhu Wang who was also locked in the dark prison, and he tugged Shang Junlin's sleeve.

"how?"

"Your Majesty, send someone to investigate Zhu Wang's attitude. Zhu Wang has an old grudge with my mother, maybe you can get some clues from him."

"Okay."

Shang Junlin called Yinlongwei and whispered a few words.

When the two came out of the dark prison, the sun was blocked by dark clouds, and looked at the sky gloomily: "It seems that it is going to rain."

Sure enough, the carriage had only been running for a while when it started to rain outside.

The rain is getting heavier and darker, and the sky is getting darker and darker. Seeing that the rain will not stop for a while, Shang Junlin ordered to find a place to shelter from the rain.

"The sun was out just now, and suddenly it rained so much." Shen Yu opened the curtain and glanced outside.

Under the order of Shang Junlin, the carriage turned around and drove to another place.

They took shelter from the wind and rain at a nearby home.

The road from the palace to the dark prison was very remote, and none of the dignitaries lived nearby. Eunuch Meng chose a nearby family. The owner of this family was very kind. I heard that they were here to shelter from the rain, so they were busy welcoming people in.

Shen Yu and Shang Junlin wore casual clothes when they went out of the palace, and they couldn't tell their specific identities, but it was not difficult to see from their clothes and words and deeds that the two were extraordinary.

There was only one woman in the house. According to the woman, all the men in the family went out to do business, and she was the only one at home on weekdays.

"The two young masters drink some tea to warm up." The woman brought hot tea from the room and put it in front of Shen Yu and Shang Junlin.

"Thank you auntie." Shen Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"The weather is really fickle. The sun just came out, and it rained so much in a blink of an eye. I don't know if the guy from my family got rain outside." The woman looked at the rain outside with a worried expression.

Shen Yu found a lot of unfinished umbrellas in the house, guessing that the business the woman said was selling umbrellas.

Shen Yu sat for a while, feeling a little cold, slowly moved to Shang Junlin's side, lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, I'm a little cold."

The outside of the palace is not as good as the inside of the palace. When inside the palace, wherever Shen Yu would go, the earth dragon would burn most vigorously. Their home sheltered from the rain obviously did not have such good conditions. In addition to the rain, the temperature in the room was very low.

Shang Junlin reached out and hugged Shen Yu into his arms, and brought Shen Yu's hand to the palm of his hand: "Is it better?"

As soon as the woman came out, she saw the scene where the tall man was holding the slightly thin young man in his arms, smiled kindly, and put the food on the table.

"The two young masters are in such a good relationship. I don't know when the rain will stop. If you are hungry, the two young masters might as well use it first. The family conditions are simple, and I hope the two young masters will not dislike it."

The rain has no tendency to decrease. The woman went to work on her own affairs. Shen Yu was nestled in Shang Junlin's arms, drowsy.

I don't know how long it took, Shen Yu woke up and found himself in the carriage, Shang Junlin put his arms around him and played with the hair beside his face with the other.

"Has the rain stopped?"

"Um."

The carriage swayed, gloomy and groggy, and the voice of speaking became smaller and smaller.

The man from the woman's family came back, saw the woman staring at the purse on the table in a daze, and walked over: "What is this?"

There were traces of rain on his body, and the woman suddenly returned to her senses: "It was left by the person who came to the house to take shelter from the rain just now."

"Anyone here?"

The woman nodded and told the man what happened just now, "I haven't opened the purse, it probably contains money."

"I know you are kind, but when you are at home alone, you should be careful. What if it is a bad person?"

The woman took a dry cloth and wiped it for him: "I see that the visitor has clear eyes and doesn't look like a bad person. Besides, under the feet of the emperor, who dares to do anything."

The man picked up the purse. The purse was well-made and valuable at first sight. It was heavy in his hand. When the purse was opened, the man paused.

The woman also opened her eyes wide, and it took a long while to find her own voice: "This is too much..."

The man frowned: "Do you still remember the person who came here? When I go out next time, I will try to get the money back. It's too much."

The woman nodded.

Shen Yu didn't know about this episode, he fell asleep again on the way back to the palace, this time he slept directly until noon the next day, so frightened that Shang Junlin summoned Imperial Physician Gu into the palace overnight.

When he woke up, Shen Yu found that his hand was being held in his hand, and his fingers moved, which immediately alerted the man who was looking at the book with one hand.

"Ayu woke up?"

Shen Yu rubbed his forehead and had a headache after sleeping for too long.

After changing clothes and walking outside for two laps, Shen Yu felt really awake.

"Why didn't your majesty call me up?" Shen Yu spread out his palm, and Shang Junlin was applying medicine for him.

The wound across the palm gradually healed, and after a few days, it has scabbed over.

The scab is a little itchy, and the cooling ointment is applied to the wound, which is very comfortable.

"I can't wake you up," Shang Jun pressed a wrinkle between his brows, "Doctor Gu came to see you and said that you have hurt your vitality during this time, and sleeping more will help you recover."

Shang Junlin didn't mention how flustered he was in his heart last night, Shen Yu could roughly guess it, and stroked his face with his other hand: "Your Majesty."

After putting on the good medicine, Shang Junlin handed the medicine bottle to Eunuch Meng who had been waiting beside him: "Ayu kiss me, I won't have to work hard."

"Okay, your Majesty lean over." Shen Yu hooked the corner of his lips.

Shang Junlin leaned on his words.

A soft kiss landed on the corner of his lips.

Shang Junlin caught the young man who had slipped away after kissing, and kissed back deeply.

The palace servants quietly withdrew.

Shen Yu raised his head, his injured wrist was shackled by the man, and his strong arms bound his waist, and there was no way to retreat.

"What is your majesty doing?" Shen Yu felt a sense of restraint on his wrist. He turned his head away from the man's kiss and looked at his wrist.

At some point, red silk was tied around the two wrists together, and it was not tight, but it just prevented him from breaking free.

The snow-white wrist was bound by the red silk, and the skin became whiter and paler, like the first falling snow, tempting to leave its own traces on it.

"The imperial doctor said that Ayu's hands can't use force, and can't touch water," Shang Junlin said in a low voice, "Ayu can't stand it so you can bite me, don't grab it with your hands..."

The warm breath brushed against his ears, and Shen Yu unconsciously curled up.

The inability to exert force on the hand makes everything that follows more difficult to bear.

Shen Yu took a bite on the man's shoulder as if venting his anger, leaving a deep tooth mark.

The man didn't seem to feel the pain, or in other words, he was stimulated by his actions and became more and more excited.

Shen Yu tilted his head, and the kiss fell on the side of his face, lingering.

"Ayu..."

The energy that Shen Yu cultivated overnight was exhausted again.

After it was over, Shang Junlin held him in his arms and untied the red silk from his wrist.

Even though he was a little restrained by the gloomy struggle in the middle, only a light red mark was left on his wrist.

Shen Yu curiously touched the red silk. I don't know what kind of fabric it is made of. It feels soft and slippery to the touch.

"What kind of cloth is this?"

Shen Yu observed the red silk in his hand. It looked like silk, but it was not exactly the same. It was softer and more flexible than silk, and it was also very comfortable to touch.

The red cloth was passed between the long fingers, and the hands that lined it became whiter and whiter. Shang Jun's eyes darkened, and he held the red silk and Shen Yu's hands together.

"I asked Meng Chang to find it from the warehouse," Shang Jun Lin rubbed the skin on Shen Yu's wrist, "Meng Chang found several, if Ayu likes it, I will ask Meng Chang to send it to Yuzhang Palace."

"Does His Majesty use such a good cloth to tie my hands?" Shen Yu gave him a sideways glance.

"Red suits Ayu very well. I asked Shangyi Bureau to make clothes, and Ayu wears them for me to see, how about it?"

Just as Shen Yu was about to say something, Shang Junlin added slowly, "I can only wear it for one person to see."
