The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits

The fireworks lasted for half an hour.

Shen Yu and Shang Junlin ignored the trembling Lord Qian and enjoyed this annual event.

The downstairs was full of people, and the upstairs was peaceful and quiet. Except for Shen Yu and Shang Junlin who occasionally whispered a few words, no one else dared to make a sound.

Mr. Qian was willing to intercede for the Qian family, but the more it was like this, the less he dared to disturb the leisure of the emperor and nobles.

Qian Mingfu woke up with a loud roar. At this moment, he didn't dare to be arrogant and kneeled there like a quail.

After the fireworks reward, the people from the forbidden army also came.

The Qian family and others were taken away, how to deal with it depends on what the gangsters have done over the years.

It was very late, and Shen Yu had no interest in shopping any more, so he returned to the palace with Shang Junlin.

After taking a hot shower, Shen Yu came out with half-dry hair.

Shang Junlin was looking at the book, and Shen Yu leaned over: "It's so late, Your Majesty is still busy with official business?"

After getting along with Shang Junlin for so long, Shen Yu found that he is really a very diligent emperor, and spends a lot of time every day dealing with the documents handed down below, especially since there are so many things happening recently, he has almost no leisure time.

The half-wet hair brought hazy water vapor, and Shang Junlin frowned and put down the book: "Why didn't you dry your hair?"

After saying that, he took the dry handkerchief that he had prepared and wiped his hair for Shen Yu.

"Your Majesty should cherish your own body."

Shen Yu squinted and sat in front of Shang Junlin, letting the man gently dry his hair.

Black hair is smooth and occasionally slips between the fingers for a cool touch.

Just after bathing, the young man had a faint aroma on his body, and the two were so close that Shang Junlin could even feel the young man's body temperature coming to him.

The pulp of the finger rubbed against the scalp, bringing a slight numbness, and moved his neck depressingly. He never knew that he would also feel this way when someone pressed his scalp, and the numbness would meander down from the scalp to his heart.

Shen Yu sat in front of Shang Junlin, and because of his movements, he was almost embraced by the man, and the cold breath on the man rushed towards him with every movement he made, firmly enclosing him.

"What?" Shang Junlin stopped his movements, "Does it hurt you?"

"No, His Majesty's strength is just right." Shen Yu put away the strange feeling in his heart.

Shang Junlin continued the action just now, and he brushed his gloomy hair hastily once, but because there was too much hair, some places hadn't been wiped yet, so Shang Junlin dried him a little bit.

Shen Yu stared at the candlelight in front of him, feeling that he needed to find a topic to talk about, otherwise he would always be a little restless.

With a glance, he saw the open book on the table, read the contents of the book, and asked, "Is this from Linxian?"

"Yes, the gift that your lord gave me last time has been handed over to a special person to study. There is a big flood every year in Linxian, so it should be able to be used."

The two talked about this topic for a while, and Shang Junlin put away the veil: "Okay."

Shen Yu touched his wet hair, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty's craftsmanship is really good."

Shang Junlin: "I am afraid that in the whole world, you are the only one who dares to ask me to help you wipe your hair."

Shen Yu: "Who made His Majesty my husband? If His Majesty wants, I can also wipe His Majesty's hair."

"Then you can help me wipe it next time. Don't forget what you said today."

After the lively New Year's Eve, the ministers received news about the Qian family one after another.

Relying on the support of King Li, the Qian family acted arrogantly and made countless enemies in the imperial court. When they heard that the Qian family had provoked people they shouldn't have provoked, many families were secretly happy.

There is a fifteen-day rest period after the New Year. During this time, everyone visits relatives and friends, and there is no need to go to the morning court. If there is an important matter, His Majesty will announce that the person in charge will enter the palace.

"You said, Your Majesty will severely punish the Qian family this time?"

"I don't know. After Your Majesty put people in the prison, no one from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple has entered the palace. I don't know if they intend to just beat them."

"I don't think so. You don't remember what happened to King Li? King Li is still being grounded. It can be seen that it really annoyed Your Majesty. This time the Qian family was investigated because of King Li."

The Qian family and their son were suddenly taken away on New Year's Eve. There was no warning beforehand, and His Majesty did not give a reason afterwards.

In fact, such a majesty is the majesty that ministers are familiar with. It is not the style of today's emperor to announce the complete details like the first two cases.

The matter of the Qian family soon spread to Prince Li's mansion.

When Princess Li heard about her mother's family, she couldn't help but come to King Li and cry: "My lord, can you not know what kind of person the father of the concubine is? There will never be anything serious, and the nephew of the concubine, who has always been good-natured. You are obedient and filial to our husband and wife, so why was your Majesty imprisoned without a word?"

Wang Li also heard rumors from the outside world, but these rumors said everything, but there was no real reason. He comforted Princess Li: "Don't worry, Concubine Ai, this king has already sent people to find out the news."

Princess Li has a deep affection for the family, otherwise she would not have been helping the family all the time. King Li loves the house and Wu, and also has a good impression of the Qian family.

"My concubine believes in the prince."

Although he was banned, if King Li wanted to check some news, it would not be difficult. He had been in the capital for many years and had his own connections, so he immediately ordered someone to check.

King Li's actions were not concealed from the man sitting on the throne.

Shang Junlin listened to Yin Longwei's report and snorted coldly: "If he wants to check, let him check, but I want to see how he plans to save the Qian family."

Whether the matter of the Qian family is big or small, it all depends on Shang Junlin's attitude. If he doesn't want to get into it, he will just let him go. If he wants to get into it, it will not be easy to get away.

During the meal, Shang Junlin told Shen Yu about this.

"What is your majesty going to do with the Qian family?" Shen Yu was also very curious.

Shang Junlin did not answer this question, but said: "In the beginning of the spring, there are students coming to the capital to take the exam, and it is time for the officials who were sent out to be transferred back."

Shen Yu is clear, this is not going to let go lightly. Shang Junlin fought abroad in the early years, and did not have deep control over the imperial court. If he hadn't threatened those with ulterior motives several times with **** means, he might not have known what the imperial court would be like now.

Activating newcomers is the fastest way.

Coincidentally, the newcomers who took the exam in the past few years have been well trained. As long as there is a position in the capital, they can directly take office when they are transferred back.

"It turns out that the imperial examination is going to be held this year." Shen Yu sighed.

There are two systems for Dahuan to select officials, one is the imperial examination system suitable for most people, and the other is the recommendation system for the convenience of noble children. , In the future, he can inherit the title and directly enter the court as an official, but unfortunately he met an eccentric father.

"Do you want to try it?" Shang Junlin asked suddenly.

"What?" Shen Yu reacted and said in surprise, "Your Majesty is asking me if I want to participate in this year's imperial examination with the students?"

"If you want to, I can arrange it." Shang Jun said in a low voice.

"Your Majesty," Shen Yu raised his chin with one hand and asked jokingly, "If I really go to high school, should I go to the court as an official, or continue to be Your Majesty's noble lord?"

"With your noble talent, I could have..."

"Your Majesty," Chen Yu interrupted Shang Junlin's words, "I am lucky to be with Your Majesty, I will not regret any decision I make, and Your Majesty don't want to fool me into doing two jobs by myself, Da Huan. There are plenty of talents, and there is no shortage of me."

Shen Yu really thinks that this status is quite good now, one person is below ten thousand people, and there is no restraint.

Shang Junlin could see that Shen Yu was not sincere, and did not continue the topic.

After the meal, Eunuch Meng came to report.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Li asks to see you."

"King Li? Wasn't he grounded by His Majesty?" Shen Yu remembered that after the last incident, King Li was ordered to think about it behind closed doors.

"It should be for the Qian family," Shang Junlin explained. "He has a deep relationship with Princess Li. If Princess Li asks for him, he will come to see me by all means."

"I didn't expect that King Li, who is keen to match his niece with His Majesty, is still a very affectionate person." Shen Yu shook his head.

"He and Concubine Li met at Wei Mo, and the emperor's protection was suppressed all the time. Later, when I became the throne, it was easier for me."

Shang Junlin turned his head to Eunuch Meng and said, "Bring him here."

Not long after, King Li came in behind Eunuch Meng.

"I see you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Shen Yu looked at the man whose energy was almost half gone. King Li was much older than the last time we met, and his attitude towards him became much more respectful.

"King Li is not in the palace to reflect on himself, what are you doing in the palace to find me?"

King Li didn't beat around the bush and said bluntly, "Your Majesty, this minister is here for the Qian family."

"Does King Li know what the Qian family did?" Shen Yu asked.

King Li's back bowed deeply: "I just ask Your Majesty to look after the minister's face and save the Qian family's life. I only hope that His Majesty can open up the net, and the minister is willing to hand over all the rights that belong to the 'King Li'."

This determination is not a big one. To surrender everything is equivalent to King Li willing to remove his royal status by himself.

Shang Junlin tapped the table with his knuckles, as if he was thinking about something, and his expression was not clear in his eyes.

After a long time, Shang Junlin said: "There are national laws, I can only say that if their mistakes do not lead to the death penalty, I will leave them a way to live."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." King Li bowed his head deeply.

After the New Year, Imperial Physician Gu came to diagnose Shen Yu's pulse.

After being recuperated by Imperial Physician Gu, the toxins in Shen Yu's body have long been cleaned up, and his physical condition is much better than before.

"Your Majesty is recovering very well, you can change the prescription."

Imperial Physician Gu prescribed a new prescription based on Shen Yu's body, and left a wooden box for Shen Yu before leaving: "This minister has combined the medicinal powers with a new ointment, and you can try the effect."

The wooden box contained five medicine bottles made of white jade, each about the length of a finger and a little thicker than a finger.

Shen Yu picked up one, slowly opened the lid, and a very faint fragrance overflowed.

The bottle contains a transparent paste.

"What are you looking at?" Shang Junlin came over.

Shen Yu handed him a medicine bottle: "The new ointment sent by Imperial Physician Gu, said to add some medicine to it, let me try it."

Shen Yu's side often dispenses some medicines for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. The Taiyuan Hospital will send some medicines at intervals. Usually, they are handed over to Mu Xi for treatment.

Open the lid of the medicine bottle in Shang Junlin's hand: "Your Majesty, smell it, this ointment is quite fragrant."

Shang Junlin looked at the transparent grease in the medicine bottle and was silent.

If he is not mistaken, this grease should be used by men to lubricate...
