The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits

"If you really want the throne, you don't have to spend so much trouble." Shen Yu continued.

"Who said that this king wants that position?" Wang An sneered, "This king is not interested in that position."

"I see." Shen Yu nodded, if he was really interested in that position, what Prince An did would not be to push a seventeenth prince who didn't make a statement to ascend to the throne.

"Aren't you curious why this king does this? Now that this king has been defeated, it's okay to tell you, because this king doesn't want Dahuan to be stable, and this king wants to destroy everything now!"

"Why did you help me in the first place?" Shang Junlin walked behind Shen Yu and looked down at him.

Shang Junlin was talking about his accession to the throne. At that time, in addition to King Li, King An was also on his side. Although Shang Junlin could have ascended the throne without their help, there would be more twists and turns in the middle. For these two, the process was much easier.

"Because the good royal brother of this king does not want you to succeed the throne, and of course this king does not want to satisfy him. He left you in the palace and left you to fend for himself. He wants to use the name of a soldier to get rid of you, but this king will not let you. If he gets what he wants, this king wants to watch him run for a lifetime, and all the results are picked by the child he doesn't like the most, not to mention, that position should belong to him, if not for this king..." King An paused and continued. Said, "This king will naturally return to the original owner."

"The matter that the late emperor didn't like His Majesty has something to do with you?" Shen Yu Minrui grasped the key from King An's words.

"Yeah, he is the most outstanding of my royal brother's children. This king only wants to see his pain, how can he tolerate their father and son's deep love?"

Prince An closed his eyes, and he seemed to still be able to see that time he entered the palace. He saw the happy family of the first emperor, the first empress, and the little Shang Junlin. He joined in with a smile on his face, but his heart was entangled by poisonous snakes. The scene in front of him was: How dazzling, he should be the one who enjoys all this!

"My people found a secret room in your palace, it is full of portraits, all of them are of the same woman, the person in the picture is not someone else, it is my mother queen, does King An want to explain, why do you Want to keep those portraits private?"

After Yinlongwei discovered the secret room, he didn't dare to delay, and immediately told Shang Junlin that Shang Junlin had no interest in who the woman in the painting was, and never thought that that person would be his mother.

The memories of childhood were pressed in my heart. The moment I saw the portrait, I couldn't help thinking of the mother who was hugging and whispering softly when I was a child. The memory faded and the portrait was re-colored.

Shang Junlin didn't tell anyone about this matter, including Shen Yu, the news was suppressed, and those who knew it were also silenced. At that moment, Shang Junlin's heart was in a mess. He seemed to have found the reason why King An acted like this, but Wish it wasn't found.

Shang Junlin is not an indecisive temperament, and asked directly in front of King An. Yes or not, King An himself can give a direct answer.

Hearing Shang Junlin's words, An Wang was stunned for a moment, and half said with emotion: "So you found out..."

"You did all this because of my mother?" The air pressure around Shang Junlin suddenly dropped.

Shen Yu moved his fingers, grabbed the hand in the man's sleeve, and comforted silently.

He didn't expect that he would suddenly hear such news. During this period of time, because of King An's affairs and leaving the capital for a few months, the court was very busy, and Shang Junlin spent most of the time in the royal study. Political affairs, many times, when he returned to Yuzhang Palace, Shen Yu had rested, and when he woke up in the morning, most of the men had already gone to court.

Apart from them, they were the hidden dragon guards brought by Shang Junlin. Don't worry about the news leaking. This is why Shang Junlin will ask directly.

King An did not answer this question, but said: "You should know that this king and the previous emperor are both direct descendants, but this king is a descendant."

The late emperor was the direct son of the eight classics, but his biological mother died early, and he was the sister of his mother's compatriot. After entering the palace, he treated the late emperor as his own, even in order to better take care of his sister's children. Children don't care.

"This king really can't figure out why this king is her own, but she has to tolerate the late emperor everywhere. What this king has heard most since childhood is: that's your own brother, you can't argue with him."

"In order to prevent this king from threatening the position of the late emperor, she even gave this king a mind-affecting medicine. It was the first time that she had given this king a medicine, but it was for the purpose of giving medicine to this king. How ridiculous. After that, this king gathered all the light, expressed his love for the landscape, and ran outside the palace all day long, becoming the most unprofessional of all the princes. The father knew everything and promised to compensate this king, and this king did not care about him. Compensation, but he should never go back on what he said!"

"What did he do?"

"This king traveled through the mountains and rivers and met Miss Zhong's family who returned to Beijing with his father. After returning to Beijing, this king petitioned the father to marry the daughter of the Zhong family. Family background, I feel that the Zhong family girl is more suitable to be the crown princess, this king will wait, wait, wait until the news that the Zhong family girl has been named the crown princess."

The daughter of the Zhong family was Shang Junlin's mother, neither Shen Yu nor Shang Junlin thought that there was such a secret in the middle.

"This king went to see the father, and I happened to hear the conversation between the father and the mother. Inside and out, he was all about how to do the best for the prince. They didn't mention my son at all. They said that the prince is the elder brother and should be better than my younger brother. Married a wife early, but at that time the prince already had a concubine from an extraordinary family, and the king went to the prince again, and the prince said that he liked the girl of the Zhong family very much, and said that he would treat her well in the future."

"According to you, the relationship between the late emperor and your mother should be very good. Why didn't your mother get the honor she deserved in the end?" Shen Yu knew a little about royal affairs and clearly remembered that it was less than a year after the late emperor ascended the throne. The queen mother was directly sent to the Taimiao, and she could not get it for life.

"Because he thinks that his mother's death is related to her, and it is easy to stir up suspicion of an emperor. As long as he gives some specious clues, he would rather kill him by mistake than let it go."

This is the first step that King An has done, completely denying the goodness of others to the late emperor, making the late emperor feel that all those who approached him have no purpose. people who love him.

Doesn't it mean that those who sit in that position will eventually become loners? King An doesn't mind letting him taste the taste of loneliness in advance.

The matter of the queen mother sowed the seeds for the great change in the late emperor's temperament.

"The harem is constantly entering new people, your mother is worried, but she is the queen and can't do inappropriate things. This king told her early in the morning that the emperor's heart is changeable, and she doesn't believe it, so this king did a small experiment. , Your father and emperor really did not live up to the expectations of this king, and just based on some chasing things, he sentenced your mother to death in his heart."

They all know what happened next. The first queen was neglected and suppressed by other favorite concubines. In the face of the late emperor's distrust, she chose to die and Mingzhi, and the Zhong family was also convicted because of the late emperor's uncertainty. As the parent and son of the late queen. , Shang Junlin was suspected by his father that he was not his biological child, was neglected, and was exiled.

As for why the late emperor didn't start an investigation, Shen Yu could probably guess the reason, and the bloodline would make a big noise. out of this.

"You are also involved in the matter of Prince Huaiyu?" Shen Yu thought of the staff that Prince An had placed in the Manchurian Palace.

Many of these people have been there since the late emperor was in power. If King An did so many things at that time, it is not surprising that there are so many of his people in the palace.

King An: "He thinks that the late emperor killed the person he loved by mistake. In fact, from the very beginning, the king pretended to be close to him on purpose. The purpose was to make King Huaiyu hate the late emperor. In that case, I don't need this king for some things. I did it myself."

Shen Yu: "The late emperor's temperament changed drastically. Is it related to the medicine you sent to the palace?"

An Wang: "The medicine actually won't have much impact on people, but it will subtly magnify some paranoid thoughts. Who makes him refuse to trust the people around him? Everyone doubts it, and his actions will inevitably become more and more extreme."

Shen Yu: "Have you used this medicine for Your Majesty?"

This question can be said to be very unexpected, even Shang Junlin did not expect that Shen Yu would suddenly ask such a question.

Shen Yu just thought about the past life. In the previous life, Shang Junlin would become a tyrant in the world, and his actions became more and more violent. Could it be related to drug use?

Thinking about the situation of Shang Junlin in the previous life, isn't it the lonely family that King An said?

An Wang: "Your Majesty is not like the first emperor who is not defensive against this king. This king can't do this. If you are, you can easily succeed."

Shen Yu: "So, you just can't do it, not that you don't plan to do it?"

King An: "Why go into it? Isn't the result the same? A father and a son cannot be treated differently."

It's different, Shen Yuxin said, of course it's different, but King An's words have already given him an answer, and if he has the opportunity, he will definitely start with Shang Junlin.

Shang Junlin hadn't forgotten another purpose of coming here, and said, "Why do you have Ayu's mother in your hand?"

"When this king was inspecting the fief, he met a woman who was being chased and killed. When he saw the royal token in the woman's hand, he rescued the person. Speaking of which, this king was the savior of your mother. Those things It's your mother's reward to this king."

After recovering from the injury, King An brought people to the capital. Of course, saving people was not for nothing. Shen Yu's mother gave King An what she brought from the clan as a reward, including a medical book from Ji's family.

"You used the method in the medical book to make the medicine to control the late emperor?" So this happened because of your own mother?

"You can think so." An Wang's tone was full of malice.

Shen Yu calmed down and said, "Do you want to make your majesty and me follow the footsteps of the emperor?"

"This king didn't do anything, just..."

"It's back to the original owner."

"If that's the case, why did you send that flower into the palace?" Since he had contact with his mother, he should have known the function of the flower, but he didn't say anything and sent the flower directly to the palace, which was not right.

"When sending flowers into the palace, this king thought that His Majesty would not let flowers appear in front of you. This nephew of this king cannot be more possessive of people or things that belong to him. You are the person he identified, he You definitely won't want things given by others to occupy your mind too much, and if this flower wants to bear fruit, it must be taken care of by the blood of the Ji family, who would have thought that this flower is still being raised by you."

This was out of An Wang's arrangement and forced him to readjust his plans.

"So you want to do something to the flower? First, the palace people put a hallucinogenic drug in the flower room, and if you can't do it, you want to destroy the flower directly with fire? The former is to make us vigilant about the flower, so as to keep me away from the flower. The purpose, if it is more extreme, maybe the flower will be directly destroyed by His Majesty in anger, the latter is more simple and clear, just to destroy the flower directly."

Shen Yu's thoughts became clearer and clearer. King An first gave them the flowers that could heal him, then created an accident to destroy the flowers, and finally told them the truth.

"And your purpose in doing this is to let His Majesty taste the despair of falling into the abyss after seeing hope. Now it seems that you are destined to be disappointed."

"This king has failed, but this king has not completely failed."

Shen Yu knew what he was referring to, and with the memory of his past life, he couldn't be completely indifferent.

"Don't think too much, Ayu," Shang Junlin kissed Shen Yu's forehead reassuringly, "These things have nothing to do with you, don't take it to heart."
