The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits - Chapter 38

[Chapter 36]

not very good.

Depressed.

I don’t know what switch was turned on by Shang Junlin, Shen Yu felt that this person was different from before.

Shen Yu silently put away the words, and did not intend to provoke Shang Junlin again. If he continued, most of the suffering would be himself. His legs and hands were still hurting.

Can’t do it again.

Noticing the inconvenience of Shen Yu’s left hand, Shang Junlin stretched out his hand to hold it: “Still uncomfortable?” The

warmth spread with his fingers, and Shen Yu’s fingertips trembled, “Your Majesty, didn’t you ask this for a reason?”

“How can you be like this , Your Majesty?

Delicate?” Shang Junlin laughed.

“It’s not that I am delicate,” Shen Yu retorted, “If you want to blame it, you have to blame Your Majesty for taking too long. Even if it wasn’t me, others would not be able to bear it.”

Shang Jun took a deep breath and rubbed Shen Yu’s fingers moderately: Knead your majesty

.”

Shen Yu was lying lazily on the soft couch, one hand was held in the palm of the man in Xuanyi, kneading neither lightly nor heavy, being served like this by the emperor, there was no trace of embarrassment.

“Your Majesty, how is King Huaiyu?” Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming more and more ambiguous, Shen Yu had to provoke another topic.

“It’s fine now.”

“I can’t understand why his attitude towards me is different from others. It can’t be because of our relationship, right?” What a good attitude.

“Perhaps it’s because your lord reminded him of some past events.”

“Could it be that King Huaiyu’s withdrawal from the heirloom had other secrets?” Shen Yu became interested.

“There are many secrets hidden in the palace. Outsiders only know that King Huaiyu gave up that position due to illness, but they don’t know that something happened before this incident.”

Seeing Shen Yu’s interest, Shang Junlin said slowly: “Back then, King Huaiyu had a close relationship with a man of unknown origin, the late emperor seized the flaw, designed to kill the man, and then pointed the finger at another strong man at the time. A strong competitor led them to tear their faces apart, and in the end, one died and the other was injured, and the first emperor took advantage of the fisherman.”

Shen Yu: “How did King Huaiyu know the real murderer? Your Majesty knows what the man that King Huaiyu likes looks like. Shang Junlin:

”

The man failed to leave any information, and all relevant records were destroyed by King Huaiyu. As for what the man looked like, it is estimated that no one knows. After all, it took time for the man to appear and leave. It’s too short, and his whereabouts have always been kept secret. If it weren’t for King Huaiyu, fewer people would know of his existence.”

“How did King Huaiyu know the real murderer of the man’s death, I don’t know either. Judging from the king’s plan, it should have been known soon after the emperor ascended the throne.” The

whole thing is always mysterious, Shen Yu didn’t know that the royal family had such secrets in his previous life, and the book he read after his death was also Focusing on Shen Qingran’s perspective, this is not mentioned.

“Your Majesty, do you want to continue to investigate?”

Shang Jun nodded: “This person is hiding very deep, and I don’t know what the real purpose is. I suspect that the matter of King Huaiyu this time is also related to the events of the past.”

“But King Huaiyu refused to say,” Shen Yu frowned, “Can you say it or don’t want to say it? What is the purpose behind the plot?”

No one knew the answer.

The matter of how to deal with King Huaiyu was put on the agenda after all. They had not received any useful information from King Huaiyu, and they could not keep giving the courtiers and other royal families an explanation. Jun Rin had someone announce the crime of King Huaiyu.

Everyone was shocked.

No one could have imagined that King Huaiyu, who had always been low-key and could no longer be low-key, could hide so deeply. He never thought that he would be able to plan so much for so many years just to avenge his lover who died in vain. Do things that confuse royal blood.

Compared with other things, the matter of confusing the blood of the royal family was more unacceptable, and someone immediately wrote a letter asking for a thorough investigation.

“Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance and must be thoroughly investigated!” Prime Minister Wang Chici stood up.

For a time, everyone in the royal family who was the same mother as Shang Junlin was in danger.

“Prime Minister Wang’s remarks are bad. How can such a big scandal be made known to everyone?” Some people were dissatisfied.

“Is the face of the royal family more important or the purity of the royal bloodline?” Wang Cheng asked instead.

“But… do you want everyone in the world to know that the late emperor was given a green hat by so many people?” the minister of punishment said hesitantly.

“It doesn’t have to be so direct.” Prime Minister Wang replied.

On this issue, the ministers started a new round of quarrels. Some people think that this is a serious matter and must be strictly investigated, and some people think that it is about the face of the royal family, and it is not appropriate to fight.

Shang Junlin sat on a high place, overlooking the disputes between the ministers below.

After the crown was crowned, no one could see the emperor’s expression clearly.

“I beg Your Majesty to decide.” At the end of the quarrel, it was Prime Minister Wang who put an end to the quarrel.

“In this case, I will leave this matter to Prime Minister Wang to handle it.”

“The minister follows the order.”

King Yue got the news when he was confined, and his first reaction was unbelievable.

He grabbed the reporter’s shoulder and said sternly: “How is it possible? How could this king not be the child of the father?”

“Don’t worry, Your Highness, this matter has not yet been concluded. Besides, His Highness and His Majesty look alike, and their life experience is definitely not the same.

There will be problems.”

King Yue let go of his happy shoulders and walked around the study anxiously. If there is a problem with his bloodline, everything he planned will be in vain, no matter how good his reputation is or how many people support him, once he knows He is not the biological son of the late emperor, everything he has will be in vain!

If it wasn’t for the bloodline of the late emperor, those old foxes wouldn’t allow him to take that position.

But he can’t do anything like this. He currently has little power in the capital, and he can’t compete with the imperial court at all.

“This king is too anxious. There is no evidence to prove that this king is not the blood of the late emperor. This king can’t be in a mess.” Taking a deep breath, King Yue tried his best to calm himself down.

“His Royal Highness said that, don’t worry, Your Highness, everyone can see the similarities in appearance between you and the current emperor. Besides,

Concubine Li has always been favored by His Majesty…”

Decent thing!” King Yue rubbed his forehead, “Continue to pay attention to what’s going on outside, and tell this king immediately if something is wrong.”

Just after the new year, there was such a big case, everyone was very complicated, especially The prince left by the late emperor.

In the late period of the Emperor’s reign, he was dazed and incompetent. For the throne, the princes with their own ambitions fought to the death. Later, the strong intervention of Shang Junlin prevented the infighting from continuing to heat up.

The result of the succession was also tragic. Shang Junlin beheaded many princes and ministers in one breath. For this reason, the court that had finally calmed down almost became turbulent again. It was Shang Junlin’s strong method and direct force to suppress it. Another civil unrest.

The ministers who have experienced the civil strife are extremely fortunate. Fortunately, it is not any of the princes who finally ascended the throne. Who would have thought that the third prince, the seventh prince, and the fourteenth prince who were favored by the previous emperor were not his biological sons. Woolen cloth.

To say that King Huaiyu was also very powerful, he calmly caused the late emperor to grow a large prairie above his head.

There are many descendants of the late emperor, and as the investigation deepens, more and more princes are found to have problems with their blood vessels.

Every day, new progress is sent to the palace, and Shang Junlin will not avoid Shen Yu when dealing with things, and Shen Yu also learned a lot of news.

“Is there any problem with King Yue’s life experience?” Shen Yu was not very surprised. If King Yue was not the child of the late emperor, he would not be somewhat similar to Shang Junlin.

“Your Majesty seems to always pay more attention to King Yue?”

“Isn’t your majesty very clear? He lied to me first, I don’t want him to be better, it’s that simple.”

Shen Yu knew clearly that Shang Junlin probably knew about the relationship between him and King Yue, even if he didn’t know him Don’t mind telling him.

“That noble lord is afraid that you will be disappointed. King Yue’s mother, Concubine Li, is one of the few people in the late emperor’s harem who is single-minded to the late emperor.”

“Your Majesty, tell me.” The concubine still knew very little.

“There are many emperors and concubines, but there are not many who really win his heart. Concubine Li is one of them. Concubine Li is a very smart person. , Concubine Li asked herself to die, and the late emperor was moved, and he took care of the king of Yue a lot.”

That was the last preference of the late emperor as a father to the king of Yue, and therefore, the king of Yue was able to survive the turmoil.

At this moment, Shen Yu finally wanted to understand why King Yue always wanted that position.

Because someone planted a seed in his heart a long time ago, supplemented with nutrients, and let the seed grow vigorously in the passage of time, until one day it will play the role that the person who planted the seed wanted.

“Has Your Majesty made any new findings in the investigation of the various vassal kings during this time?”

“Your Majesty wants to ask the King of Yue, right?” Shang Junlin shook his head, “I didn’t find out what he did out of the ordinary. It

‘s a small problem

that doesn’t hurt or itches.” Shen Yu also knew that the King of Yue was still very cautious at this time, and he would not reveal his true ambitions to outsiders until he was completely sure.

Who would have thought that His Royal Highness the King of Yue, who has always been gentle and uncontested in the world, has always been in Xiaoxiang’s position?

“The late emperor should have left a lot of things for the king of Yue before he passed away.” Shen Yu pondered, not to look at the late emperor’s stupor, but after all, he had been an emperor for decades. Paul even provokes something to his ambitions.

“Your Majesty doesn’t need to spend too much time on King Yue. If you have this skill, you might as well think about it. When will you be able to do what you promised me.” Shang Junlin didn’t like to mention the word “King Yue” from Shen Yu’s mouth.

Feeling the man’s calm approach, Shen Yu silently moved to the side. After jokingly complaining about it last time, Shang Junlin would hold on to this matter every time, and euphemistically called it: more practice will make you more comfortable .

Shen Yu tried to break the topic back: “Your Majesty, you are talking about serious business.”

“I feel that your noble lord should be more concerned about the affairs between you and me.” Shang Junlin seemed calm, but there was a terrifying storm inside.

He stretched out a hand, stopped Shen Yu’s backward movement, and leaned forward.

Holding the book against the man who kept approaching, Shen Yu’s brows filled with playfulness: “Did Your Majesty eat the freshly made plum dessert from the small kitchen?”

How sour?

Hearing the meaning of Shen Yu’s words, Shang Jun raised his eyebrows: “Do you want to try it yourself, did I eat it?”
