The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits

The image of being alone with Shen Yu couldn't help but appear in Shang Junlin's mind. The proposal of Shen Yu was too tempting, especially for Shang Junlin who was always half-fed.

Shen Yu could tell his intentions at a glance, and continued: "If Your Majesty wants to hold a banquet, it can be held on His Majesty's birthday. As for my birthday, we can leave it to us alone."

"Ah Yu, do you know why I want to host your birthday party?" Shang Junlin's eyes dimmed, and he rubbed the delicate skin on the side of his depressed neck with his fingertips.

"I want to announce to the world that Ah Yu belongs to me." Before waiting for a gloomy answer, Shang Junlin had already given the answer.

"I have been tied to His Majesty for a long time. I am His Majesty's noble, and no one can deny this." Shen Yu rubbed Shang Junlin's hand with his head.

Your Majesty.

Shang Junlin used to think this title was very good, but now it always sounds like something is missing.

"Does Ayu want to be a queen?"

When he asked this question, Shang Junlin's tone was calm, as if he was asking about an ordinary matter, rather than a major matter related to a country's succession.

"Why did Your Majesty suddenly ask about this?" Sullen was slightly startled, "I think it's fine now."

Shen Yu is not very interested in the position of queen.

"I just feel that, except for Ayu, no one else can take this position."

Before Shen Yu entered the palace, Shang Junlin never thought that one day there would be someone in his life who he couldn't let go of.

Seeing the depression and lack of interest, Shang Junlin no longer continued this topic, but just silently recorded this matter in his heart, and waited for an appropriate time to announce it.

"Ah Yu doesn't want to have a big banquet, what about a small banquet?" Although Shang Junlin wanted to live a two-person world with Shen Yu, he didn't want to make Shen Yu regret.

"Your Majesty really don't have to think about these things. In previous years, I spent my birthdays at Zhuangzi. How about your Majesty accompany me this year?" After living two lifetimes, Shen Yu is really not interested in these things.

"Then listen to Ayu."

There is still some time before Shen Yu's birthday, although Shang Junlin agreed to go to Zhuangzi with Shen Yu, but he did not completely give up holding a birthday party in the palace.

What others have, he will not be less depressed, he can't participate in the gloomy past, but now and in the future, he will not let the gloomy leave any regrets.

After a heavy rain, Subei came back to life, and Fang Jun and Xun Chao joined forces to gradually stabilize the situation.

Because of the rain from the sky, the remnant forces left by Lord Hou and other officials failed to stir up any disturbances, which saved Fang Jun a lot of trouble.

With timely prevention and intervention, the drought did not bring more serious consequences, and the epidemic that worried everyone did not occur.

Before the new officials appointed by the imperial court take office, Fang Jun and the others need to stay in Subei temporarily to deal with follow-up matters.

Thanks to the efforts of the three of Jiang Huaiqing, Shang Junlin's reputation among the people has been greatly reversed, and the stigma that should not have been attached to him has been washed away one by one. The people can't help but start to guess who is behind the plot all this.

Shen Yu knew that part of it was done by the King of Yue. In addition, there was a deeply hidden force that had been circling the capital for many years, but this force was soon found out by Shang Junlin and dealt with.

With the news released by the three of Jiang Huaiqing, the world's misunderstanding of Shang Junlin since he ascended the throne has gradually been unraveled. This is undoubtedly the last situation that people behind the scenes don't want to see.

They have been laying the groundwork for so long, just to arouse dissatisfaction in the hearts of the people with the current king. After many years, when they really want to do something, this dissatisfaction will play a great role.

"Your Majesty, how long do they think they can endure?" Shen Yu thought that the people behind the scenes could not bear it long ago, but he did not expect that after so long, the outside is still calm.

"They don't dare to do anything now, maybe because they feel that we don't have conclusive evidence and can't really do anything about them, so they want to shrink back and wait for this storm to pass."

Naturally, Shang Junlin would not give them a chance.

After all the rumors were clarified, Shang Junlin ordered people to lead the way among the people, let them guess who did such a thing, and at the same time, he also brought it up when he went to court.

"I have heard some very interesting things these days. Tell me, who is it that has spared no effort to smear my deeds in the hearts of the people for years?"

In the main hall, Shang Junlin sat on the dragon chair in his spare time, expressing his doubts in a leisurely manner, his eagle-like eyes swept across the faces of the ministers one by one.

"I didn't care about these false names in the past, but I didn't know that in the eyes of the common people, I was such an emperor who killed innocent people indiscriminately, disregarded human life, killed loyal and good people, and was cruel..."

Every time Shang Junlin said a word, the breath of the people below became lighter.

Of course they had heard such rumors, and some officials who didn't know the truth believed these rumors. After the court announced the actions of those dead officials, they were ashamed of themselves who had believed the rumors.

"Who is manipulating this matter behind the scenes? I need a result." Shang Junlin ordered a few ministers, "I will leave this matter to you. Don't wait."

Master Feng, who was silent, jumped in his heart. Coincidentally, the officials Shang Junlin ordered were more or less related to him.

After going to court, Master Feng hurriedly boarded the carriage and returned home regardless of the calls from the people behind him.

"This...why is Master Feng so anxious today?"

Master Duan looked at the back of Master Feng leaving in a hurry, and frowned even tighter.

He and Mr. Feng almost entered the cabinet one after the other. The two have worked together for many years, and he had already discovered that something was wrong with Mr. Feng during this time.

Everything that happened outside the palace reached the ears of Shang Junlin and Shen Yu.

Shen Yu heard what happened when Shang Junlin went to court, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty asked those adults to investigate on purpose, right?"

"The prime minister complained that they had been occupying their positions and not working for a long time. It just so happened that the time for the officials sent out this year to return to Beijing to report on their duties is approaching. I plan to keep a group of them here."

It is equivalent to admitting that he did it on purpose.

"Master Feng's expression must have been very nice at that time." Shen Yu picked up his teacup and took a sip, "When did Your Majesty find out that this matter is related to Master Feng?"

"Actually, I had some candidates in my mind from the very beginning. When the aristocratic family supported me at the beginning, it was not out of sincerity, but because I had no foundation in the court and was easy to manipulate. Later, I found out that they were wrong in the beginning. They are not very manipulative people, so they just want to find another way out."

"But at that time, I took back the land of Dahuan, and I had military power in my hands. Even if they wanted to do something, they would not succeed. I didn't care about the reputation of the people before. It was only after Ah Yu reminded me that there were some things aimed at me. The conspiracy was laid from the beginning."

"Ten years have passed, and the court officials have changed batches after batches, but only a few remain, and the scope has narrowed all of a sudden." He pondered deeply.

"That's right, and those who have the ability to do what they are doing now are even less. After confirming the suspects, I asked the Yinlong Guard to investigate these people in every detail. At the beginning, they didn't find anything. It was after the rain in Subei later. , I asked Jiang Huaiqing and the others to 'clean up their grievances', and only then did I catch that man's show."

Master Feng knew that he was too impatient these days. Although he had a young son as a cover-up, it was still easy to be seen, but he couldn't do it if he had to sit and wait for death!

After many years of planning, once it was cracked, how could he be reconciled to it? !

Back in Feng Mansion, he repelled all the servants, entered the study alone, the secret compartment was opened, and he walked in.

Through a long tunnel, he came to a small house on the outskirts of Beijing.

"I suspect that I have been exposed, what should I do now?" Master Feng stood in the empty study with an anxious tone.

"I work for you, you can't leave me alone!"

After a while, another person's voice came from the room: "Master Feng seems to have made a mistake, do you remember our deal back then, we helped you into the cabinet, in exchange, you need to do us a little favor, Now that your own mistakes have been exposed, is it possible that you still want us to deal with the aftermath?"

"Aren't you afraid that I will confess you? Why is the current emperor not meek? Let him know of your existence. Guess what he will do?" Lord Feng threatened sternly.

"If you are obedient, maybe you can leave your blood for you for the sake of your hard work for many years. If you insist on telling Shang Junlin something, we can't stop it."

Master Feng was startled suddenly. He realized that the other party was not afraid of being known by Shang Junlin at all. Who were they and why were they so confident?

A thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. Master Feng took a step back and sat down on the chair. He suddenly realized that after working for these people for many years, he knew very little about them, and he didn't even know the identity of the other party.

"You can't ignore me, I'm a cabinet minister, without me, who will provide you with court news..."

"Why would Mr. Feng think that Shang Junlin would allow you to stay in the court safe and sound when this happened? He wanted to take back your position a long time ago. Do you think he would let go of such a good opportunity? "

"Master Feng, it's better to do it on your own."

After the mysterious man left, Master Feng sat on the spot for a long time. He still doesn't know where he is, he has become an abandoned child.

The blankness on his face gradually became severe. He has been sitting in a high position for many years, and he is no longer the son of a side branch who was slaughtered by others. With so many things in his hands, can't he make a way out for himself?

"Master Feng has already sat in this position, why are you still not satisfied?" Entering the cabinet is already the highest representative of Dahuan's civil servants, and he can't figure out what else Master Feng wants.

"Who would think that he has too much power in his hands?" Shang Junlin spread his palms, "Even I, sometimes I am not satisfied."

"There are very few people like Ah Yu who are not greedy for power."

Shen Yu smiled, he was once lost in the power and tried his best to chase after it, but now he is just tired of it.

"Master Feng probably also realizes that he has been exposed, otherwise he wouldn't behave so abnormally."

"I let him know on purpose. If he doesn't know that he is in danger, how can he seek help from the person who has been hiding behind him?"

Pressing every step of the way, Master Feng did exactly what he thought, and went to find the person behind him.

He didn't know that the people arranged by Shang Junlin were following him, and he was taken to the secret stronghold together.
