The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits - Chapter 12

[Chapter 11]

Shen Yu pretended to be dumbfounded: “What are you talking about, Your Majesty? What do I have to say to Your Majesty? Your Majesty wants to hear me say it once a day and like it…”

“Shen Yu,” Shang Junlin interrupted him lightly, “You know What are you

talking about?”

“If I said it was just a coincidence, would your Majesty believe it?” Shen Yu lowered his eyebrows, his voice full of uncertainty.

“What do you think?” Shang Junlin asked back.

I don’t think so, Shen Yu replied in his heart, if it was him, he would definitely not believe it. How can there be so many coincidences in the world, and there are many coincidences, most of which are man-made.

“Your Majesty,” Shen Yu took a deep breath, “I really just wanted to see Shen Yue today to clear up my doubts. Believe it or not

, the other thing is really just a coincidence.”

Why did he happen to be kidnapped by Young Master He, and I don’t know if God was helping him or hurting him.

“Let’s leave this aside, I ask you, why did you insist that when suspicious persons were discovered, they were prison robbers? How did you know about He Jinyuan?”

Shang Junlin approached Shen Yu, and a sense of oppression followed Come, his eyes have been staying on Shen Yu’s face, not letting go of any change in expression.

Shen Yu’s face remained unchanged, but his heart was a little flustered. He Jinyuan was the name of Young Master He. He could find a reasonable excuse for anything that happened that day, but this one couldn’t.

Shang Junlin reached out and touched Shen Yu’s cheek, his hand was as warm as usual, giving Shen Yu a cool feeling for no reason.

“Shen Yu, don’t lie to me.”

“Your Majesty,” Shen Yu put his hand on the man’s hand, “Your Majesty must believe that I will always be on His Majesty’s side.”

“Of course I know this, otherwise you wouldn’t be here now. Zhanggong is in a dark prison.” Shang Junlin’s eyes were dark, and his fingertips rubbed his gloomy face.

He is still very confident in the Yinlongwei he cultivated by himself. Except for the few people he deliberately disclosed, it is impossible for others to know that He Jinyuan is in the dark prison, and Shen Yu should not know, unless…

He has a relationship with those people. involve.

Before Shen Yu entered the palace, he got along with King Yue. Are there other connections between them that he doesn’t know about?

Seeing that Shang Junlin’s eyes were getting darker and darker, Shen Yu quickly rummaged through his memory, he had to dispel Shang Junlin’s suspicions, he came to live a happy life, and it was unreasonable to be reborn and toss himself into it.

“Your Majesty, before I entered the palace, I accidentally heard someone say ‘dark prison’ and ‘replacement’. It was said by a person who was somewhat similar to His Majesty in front of his subordinates. I just listened to it once. After that, when I met a sneaky person in the dark prison that day, I suddenly remembered this incident, and my mouth was faster than my head…”

Shen Yu reflected after the incident, and every time the result was that he was too impulsive at that time, he only thought that he could not Let King Yue’s people take He Jinyuan away. I didn’t expect that he, a son of an aristocratic family who has been out of the house for many years because of illness, should not be so keen.

“I know what I’m saying is unbelievable, but it’s the truth. Everything is a coincidence that can’t be more coincidental. Your Majesty chose to ask me alone because no trace of man-made can be found.”

“Yes, I didn’t find anything,” Shang Junlin didn’t mind picking it up with Shen Yu and said, “You’d better pray, never let me find out.”

“I haven’t done anything, your majesty just check,” feeling When the atmosphere calmed down, Shen Yu turned his head and rubbed the hand on his face, “Your Majesty, don’t scare me in the future, I’m timid, I can’t stand being scared.”

” I see that

you are very daring.”

Being warmed by the cover, the hand feels better than the best warm jade. In the bright and innocent eyes of Shen Yu, Shang Junlin retracted his hand and calmly rubbed his index finger with his thumb: “Do you want to ask me again next time? compensate?”

His noble gentleman was very squeamish and did not want to suffer any grievances. Shang Junlin thought that a certain favorite concubine of the late emperor had raised a cat sent by a foreign country. Depressed.

“Your Majesty really understands me, but I don’t want any reward this time. Your Majesty will talk to me about the follow-up and satisfy my curiosity.” Shen Yu knew that the more open his attitude towards a person in power like Shang Junlin, the better.

“Aren’t you afraid that I will continue to doubt you?” Shang Junlin was surprised.

“Your Majesty means that you don’t doubt me now?” Shen Yu asked back.

Shang Junlin raised his gloomy chin and looked at his face: “Sometimes, I really don’t know whether to say that you are smart or that you are big-hearted.”

“It must be smart, how can a stupid person stand by your majesty. “Shen Yu didn’t hesitate.

“Your Majesty is always justified,” letting go of Shen Yu’s face, Shang Junlin walked to the side of the collapse and sat down, “Come here, don’t you want to listen to the follow-up?”

Shen Yu obediently walked to Shang Junlin and sat down.

“I ordered people to investigate, and only found a few marginal figures. The people behind the scenes were too cautious, and never came forward from beginning to end. Every order was passed down through several middlemen…”

The matter of Young Master He

It happened in the dark, and there was no news in the court. Shang Junlin asked people to pay close attention to the movements of several ministers, but still found nothing.

“The people behind the scenes have the intention to push the matter to several ministers who have already been imprisoned. My people have been busy for several days, and the clues are all suddenly cut off in the middle.

” The matter is brought to the bright side?” The

two chatted for a while, Shang Junlin never regarded Shen Yu as a bird locked in a golden cage, and occasionally Shen Yu asked about the previous dynasty, and he would also chat with him and chat with him. It is not deep, but it is not difficult to feel Shen Yu’s sensitivity to the state affairs.

The Marquis of Zhenbei was really stupid to send such a son into the palace.

In the early dynasty, Shang Junlin changed his normal behavior and announced the news that someone had robbed the prison, but the information of the robbed was blurred. The ministers thought that the robbed was Zhang Yushi and others, and there was an uproar.

It is true that they want to rescue Zhang Yushi and others, but what they want is not the rescue method of robbery. The current Shang Junlin has not been tyrannical to the level of indignation of the ministers. What everyone wants to know is where Zhang Yushi touched the emperor. thunder point.

“This matter is handed over to Mr. Fang. After half a month, I will get a satisfactory answer.” Mr.

Fang respectfully saluted: “The minister obeys the order.”

Regardless of the surprise of the ministers, Shang Junlin assigned a few more to Mr. Fang. assistant.

“If you have nothing to do, then retreat.” After the command, Shang Junlin planned to leave.

“Your Majesty,” the Minister of Rites stood up, “Your Majesty’s birthday is coming up

, is it still business as usual this year?”

There are so many things that are almost ignored.

Shang Junlin, who was about to nod his head, thought of something, and stopped his actions: “This matter can be discussed with Shen Guijun.”

The ministers suddenly realized that their Majesty is no longer alone.

Shen Yu also heard the palace servants talk about this.

“Your Majesty’s birthday?” Shen Yu asked while trimming the plum blossoms in the vase.

“Yes, it will be His Majesty’s birthday in half a month. Every year at this time of the year, the palace will hold a birthday banquet. This year, when your noble enters the palace, it will definitely be more lively than in previous years.”

The palace people like Shen Yu very much, especially After the last incident, the favor of the palace people to him has skyrocketed.

“Your Majesty, Master Lu, Minister of Rites, asks to see you.” Someone from the palace came in to report.

“Why did the Minister of Rites come to me?” Although he was puzzled, Shen Yu asked the palace servants to invite people in.

The Minister of Rites himself was also very puzzled, although Shen Yu was also a man, but Shen Yu was the emperor’s man after all. It seemed not good for him to meet with a foreigner. He also shared his concerns with His Majesty after he went to court, and His Majesty still asked him to come directly to him. people.

No, the Minister of Rites had to come.

“I see your lord.”

“Your Excellency doesn’t need to be more polite, come and see the seat.” This is not the first time Shen Yu has seen the Minister of Rites, the last time he met was when he entered the palace.

Master Lu explained his intentions straight to the point. After listening to their articles of association, Shen Yu felt that there was no major problem, so he picked out some small details and changed them.

After the process was settled, Mr. Lu said his farewell, and sat in the same place gloomily, wondering, this year should not be the day when the vassal king returns to Beijing.

Shen Yu decided to wait for Shang Junlin to come and ask him.

An unremarkable mansion somewhere in the capital.

When King Yue heard the news that the emperor was going to investigate strictly, he only felt dark in front of him. He couldn’t understand why everything was different from what he imagined when he came to the capital this time.

The emperor’s behavior has changed drastically, everything he wants to do is failing, and every result makes him want to vomit blood.

Taking a deep breath, he asked, “Where are the people we sent out? There is still no news at all?”

In order to save Young Master He, King Yue borrowed a group of people at a great cost. It’s even gone!

The subordinate lowered his head and said with difficulty: “…Yes.”

“This king shouldn’t count on you, a bunch of trash!” King Yue paced a few steps, “How is the aftermath, won’t you find out here?”

” Don’t worry, the lord, it will never be found.” He was certain of this, the prison robbery did not go through their hands in the strict sense, whether it was the order or the manpower used, it had nothing to do with King Yue.

“Go on, all plans are suspended during this time.” King Yue waved his hand weakly. He really didn’t ask for anything when he came to the capital this time, no…

It’s not without gain. Thinking of the man from Zhenbei Hou’s mansion is always strange. The concubine who thought of it, King Yue narrowed his eyes.

The news that King Yue and Shen Qingran hooked up again reached Shen Yu’s ears through Mu Xi’s mouth.

“In the past, this servant thought that he was really devoted to the son, but he was really blind,” Mu Xi pouted. “Fortunately, the son has a clear mind and was not deceived by that person.”

“Your son is smart, only he deceives others. Dude, who gets someone else to deceive him.” Shang Junlin’s low voice came from outside the door.

Mu Xi’s face changed slightly, she sent Gong Cai to tell Shen Yu this, if His Majesty listened to what she just said…
