The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits

Shang Junlin looked deeply at Shen Yu for a while, his eyes seemed to be looking into Shen Yu's heart, as if there was nothing to hide, and the secret that had been hidden for a long time was about to be exposed to the sky.

Sullen couldn't help being a little nervous, curling up her fingers by her side slightly.

In the end, Shang Junlin just raised his hand and stroked the temple hair on his forehead: "When Ayu is willing to talk, I'll tell you."

There are countless secrets hidden in Shen Yu, and Shang Junlin knows it better than anyone else. Not getting to the bottom of it doesn't mean he doesn't care. He just doesn't want to force Shen Yu to do anything. He is willing to wait for the day when Shen Yu opens his heart and tells him everything.

Shen Yurou leaned herself on Shang Junlin's body, and murmured: "Actually, I'm not sure, maybe it will rain in ten days."

"It's just a time, any time is fine, Subei really should give an explanation to the people earlier."

The collective imprisonment of high-level officials caused quite a stir in Subei.

The people didn't know why, so they got together to discuss the matter.

"What's going on, Master Hou and the others were arrested all of a sudden?"

"Didn't Mr. Fang be sent by the court to provide disaster relief? Why did you arrest all the other adults?"

It has to be said that Master Hou and the others have done a good job of superficial skills. At least the people in the main city of Subei are willing to speak for them, but in other places, the people trust Master Fang unconditionally.

"Have you heard that those high-ranking officials in the main city have been arrested by Mr. Fang?"

"I heard that, it really is the way of heaven and good reincarnation. They use the disaster relief money to expand their private treasury, and sooner or later they will pay the price for it."

"No wonder I haven't seen Mr. Fang during this period of time. It turns out that he went to the main city to deal with the rich officials."

"I also heard a small piece of news. I don't know if it is true or not. It is said that at the beginning, some adults reported our situation to the imperial court, but for some reason, this note was not sent to the capital..."

"We haven't been waiting for someone from the court for a long time. The reason is that some people are obstructing us and don't want the court to rescue us."

"I can't figure it out. It's not good for Subei. Look at how many people died during this period. If the people from the court didn't come in time, I'm afraid there will be more casualties."

"You are stupid, think about it, if the imperial court keeps not sending people over, wouldn't it be those high-ranking officials in the main city who rescued us? At that time, those people only need to say 'the imperial court deliberately ignored us', wouldn't they be able to motivate us? I am dissatisfied with the imperial court, so I am grateful to the culprit who caused everything."

After listening to someone's analysis, the others suddenly realized and cursed:

"This dog officer is really not human, good catch!"

"I want us to be grateful to them, it's a dream."

"Thanks to the adults sent by the court for seeing through their plot."

In just a few days, these news spread to every place in Subei, and the people in the main city also understood the ins and outs clearly under the explanation of the people sent by Mr. Fang.

They have always known that the drought in Subei is very serious, but the main city has relief every day, and life is not difficult. Everything in the city is stable, so the perception is not so real.It wasn't until now that the cloth covering their eyes was taken off that they could see clearly how serious the situation in Subei was.

It turns out that the stability they thought was an artificial illusion.

"They will secretly send sick people out of the main city, throw them anywhere, and tell the people in the city that they have taken them to centralized treatment. At the same time, they have sealed the gates of the city. The people in the city are not allowed to enter, and the news is not circulated, and the people in the city have not noticed anything wrong."

At the end, Xun Chao's tone was filled with irrepressible anger.

"I don't know about these things. I think they sent their confidantes to do it. Those who were sent out of the main city are probably in danger."

I fell ill, no one to take care of me, and I was thrown in the wilderness without medicine or food. One can imagine the end.

"No matter what, send someone to look for it first, and only one can be rescued." Master Fang gave the order, although he also knew that those people had very little chance of surviving.

Under the leadership of Mr. Fang, the main city of Subei is operating in an orderly manner.

Mr. Fang learned about Shen Yu's actions in the capital from the people who came over from the capital, and he knew that someone with a heart can't take advantage of the loopholes and stir up conflicts between the people of Subei and the people, so he sent people to infiltrate the people and guide them to see clear the truth.

"My lord, what did the court say, are those people going to be escorted back to the capital?" Xun Chao asked.

There are a lot of people arrested this time. If they want to escort them all back to the capital, considering the situation that may arise halfway, it will definitely take a lot of effort and manpower.

"Your Majesty said, just deal with them directly in Subei, and set a date for us to execute these people before that day."

Hearing the date Mr. Fang said, Xun Chao was surprised: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Don't care what His Majesty thinks, let's arrange it." Lord Fang patted him on the shoulder.

Fortunately, they have already collected all the criminal evidence. After receiving the order, the criminal evidence was released one by one. It was also at this time that the people in the main city of Subei realized for the first time how many unspeakable crimes had been committed by the officials they trusted .

"So, my sick father was not actually sent for treatment but was thrown out of the main city?" The first moment he heard the news, the young man knelt down on the ground covering his face. I can't forgive myself for pushing my father out to die.

He was far from alone in the same collapse.

"I just said, why didn't you let us go to visit? It turned out that the person was gone long ago. How can we visit when there is no one? Fortunately, I believed it foolishly."

"These dog officials, I want to kill them!"

People who were stimulated by the sudden bad news were full of regrets. After all, no one could accept the fact that they pushed their relatives to death with their own hands.

Fang Jun and Xun Chao watched this scene from afar.

"On the day of the execution, let them watch the execution, and ask more people to stand by."

The hatred in my heart always needs to be vented.

The found criminal evidence was also handed over to the palace.

In the early court, the prime minister announced the news from Subei one by one. Hearing this suddenly, the hall was thrown into chaos.

"That batch of supplies was actually robbed by Subei officials inside and outside?!"

"The reason for refusing to report it is because they want to control the Subei Army?!"

"The common people can't eat enough to eat, but they still have the mind to drink and have fun. They don't take the disaster seriously at all. These people are just parents and officials in vain!"

"Falsely reporting taxes, oppressing the people, colluding with bandits around, robbing passers-by of wealth, intercepting and killing fleeing people..."

It is absurd to put each one on an official.

"Severe punishment, this matter must be severely punished!"

The opinions of the ministers reached a high degree of unity. These actions of Subei officials undoubtedly trampled on the authority of the court. No one can tolerate it from the emperor to the courtiers.

At the same time, the prime minister also announced the decision to execute these people on the spot.

The ministers started arguing again about whether they should bring the man back for execution.

Shang Junlin propped his forehead with one hand, boredly watching the officials below blushing. Suddenly, his eyes paused for a while on an official who pretended to be calm, and drifted away before he was noticed.

The bait worked.

At the end of the quarrel, neither of the two sides could persuade them, Qiqi looked at Shang Junlin who was sitting on the throne: "Please make a decision, Your Majesty."

"Just do what Master Fang says."

Those who feel that they should be escorted back to the capital to make a decision, although dissatisfied, can only accept it.

After the court, the officials dispersed, and the prime minister was left behind.

"I really didn't expect those people to be so courageous, even dare to touch the things sent by the court."

"They probably think that the imperial court is beyond the reach of Subei, and they don't even think about it, how can our Majesty tolerate things that others miss him."

"Staying in Subei for too long really thought I was the master of Subei."

Such a big event happened in the previous dynasty, and the harem also heard the news.

Seeing Mu Xi's angry face, Shen Yu was a little amused: "Still angry, aren't these people going to get their due punishment soon?"

Mu Xi: "This servant just can't see it."

Shen Yu: "I can't tell why Mu Xi is still a person who hates evil."

Mu Xi: "My lord, don't make fun of the servant, the servant really can't figure out why they would do this."

Gloomy: "Power is alluring. Since they can't control themselves, they should think that there will be a day when they will pay for their sins."

Sullen has dealt with such people a lot in his previous life. For the sake of power and money, some people can give up everything. A mere conscience is worthless in the eyes of those people.

Shang Junlin left the prime minister in order to discuss the follow-up of the Subei incident and the handling of the person who spread the rumors.

This person was hiding very deeply in the court hall, if it wasn't for Shang Junlin's intentional time lag on the matter of Subei this time, maybe this person would not show his feet.

"Why did Your Majesty ask Fang Jun to execute those people on the spot?" The Prime Minister was a little puzzled, because according to the usual practice, those people should be escorted to the capital, where they will receive the final trial. This would be more conducive to the court and the royal family's prestige.

Shang Junlin stood with his hands behind his back. Hearing the words, he turned around and said in a low voice, "There is a reason for me to do this."

After finishing his official duties, Shang Junlin returned to Yuzhang Palace.

Shen Yu was asking Mu Xi about the flower sent by King An.

After thinking about it, he always felt that this flower was a bit strange.

"This flower is also miraculous. Since it bloomed that day, it has not shown any signs of withering. It has bloomed very well after these few days." Mu Xi has never seen any flower that can bloom for such a long time.

"What flower?" Shang Junlin walked over.

"It's the one sent by King An before. Mu Xi said that the flower hasn't withered yet, so I want to go and have a look."

The flower has been kept in the palace for so long and nothing happened, and a special person came to see it and said that the flower is non-toxic. Shang Junlin also asked the imperial physician to treat the palace man who took care of the flower, and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with his body.

"If you want to see it, go and see it. Speaking of it, the day when the flowers bloom is interesting." It happened to be a day that Shang Junlin remembered deeply.

"Your Majesty may be even more surprised if he knows the exact time when it blooms." Shen Yu said the time.

Shang Junlin silently calculated, "Is this really a coincidence?"

While talking, the two of them had arrived at the place where the flowers were placed. From a distance, the flowers bloomed extremely beautifully among the flowers and plants.

After approaching, he didn't know if it was a gloomy illusion, but he always felt that the petals were leaning towards him.

Shang Junlin also saw it, he looked at the flower, then at the gloomy, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone: "This flower seems to like you very much..."
