The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits

Aware of their intentions, the enemy gradually converged on weak defenses.

"Don't let them escape!" The voice of the leader was hoarse.

Those who can follow Shang Junlin's side are the elite among the elite. Under the leadership of Shang Junlin, they fought their way out.

The silence of the forest was broken, and the sound of sword clashes would attract the attention of others sooner or later. The assassins knew this well, and they needed a quick victory.

Most of the arrows on Shen Yu's body had been used up, the man held him tightly to his chest, and he was not injured at all, but the smell of blood lingering around was still lingering, with blood splashing on his body and face.

—It was the blood of the enemy.

Shen Yu clings to Shang Junlin tightly. At this time, he can't bring any unnecessary burden to the man.

The fingers holding the bow and arrow kept exerting force, and the knuckles turned white. Whenever someone tried to attack Shang Junlin by taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he would be killed by him.

The two cooperated tacitly, and there was no danger along the way.

The Yinlongwei who received the secret order appeared in time, and the situation was reversed instantly.

"Keep alive, I want to know who instigated it." Shang Junlin stood on the horse and looked down at the suppressed assassin from a high position.

Shen Yu let out a long breath, and his body relaxed.

He lost his strength and leaned against the man's arms, his nerves that had been tensed for a long time were released, and all the strength in his body was released like a tide. If it wasn't for the man's arms to hold him firmly, he might have fallen down.

Such a big matter cannot be concealed. When Shen Yu and Shang Junlin returned to the camp, the ministers had already received the news.

Shen Yu and Shang Junlin had a lot of blood on their bodies, and many of the guards who followed them were injured. Shang Junlin ordered them to go down to deal with them, and he also returned to the camp with Shen Yu.

The assassin was handed over to Master Fang. Shang Junlin didn't care about the lives of these people, but he wanted to know who was behind the scenes.

The palace man quickly prepared hot water and clean clothes, and then withdrew.

Shang Junlin was wearing black clothes, and the blood stained on it only deepened the color a little, while Shen Yu was wearing light colors, once the blood was stained, it would be very obvious.

Shen Yu touched Shang Junlin's clothes, it was all wet, and he let go, his hands were stained red.

He frowned: "Your Majesty is not injured?"

"It's all other people's blood," Shang Junlin took off his coat indifferently, and wiped the blood from Shen Yu's hands with a clean inner coat, "Ah Yu protects me, how could I get hurt?"

Shang Junlin was amazed by Shen Yu's performance. It is not easy to be calm in the face of such a thrilling situation. He was worried that he would scare Shen Yu, so he held him in his arms to prevent him from seeing the bloody scene Unexpectedly, he didn't feel a little bit of fear from Shen Yu, and even avoided several injuries because of Shen Yu's shots.

"Thanks to Ayu today." Shang Junlin raised his hand to touch his gloomy face, but when he saw the blood on his hand, he paused.

Shen Yu took the initiative to hold his hand and stuck it to her face: "With Your Majesty here, I am not afraid of anything."

Feeling the slight trembling of the body under his hands, Shang Junlin's thoughts were interrupted: "Ayu was shocked today."

Shaking his head gloomily, it was only his body that was trembling more and more violently exposed his true emotions.

"Ayu is very strong today." Shang Junlin kissed his forehead tenderly, and hugged him into his arms.

Only after the body of the person in his arms stopped trembling did he let go: "Wash up first, soak in hot water, and relax."

"En." Shen Yu nodded slightly.

Really unable to stand the smell of blood all over his body, Shen Yu took off his clothes as quickly as possible and soaked in hot water. At this moment, there was no trace of fear on his face.

Shang Junlin was called away by the minister, and it was impossible for Shang Junlin to be idle because of such a big assassination.

Under the hot air, the gloomy eyes were slightly closed, and no one knew the coldness in the eyes.

Of course he is not afraid. He has encountered many similar things in his previous life, but he is not afraid of him in his previous life. Although he is not favored by the Marquis of Zhenbei in this life, he has never really faced the desperate situation of life and death. When doing something, calm down like a normal person.

I was thinking gloomyly, who was responsible for this assassination.

Has the same assassination happened in the previous life?

he does not know.

List out those who have doubts one by one in your mind, and you can easily make a list. Shang Junlin has been doing too much in this period of time, and he can find motivated people no matter whether he is at home or abroad.

The water temperature gradually became cooler, and depression put away thoughts.

After washing, Shen Yu put on clean clothes and went to find Shang Junlin.

"It's cold outside, young master, dry your hair first before going out." Mu Xi came in with a dry cloth, and His Majesty specially ordered her to wait outside, and to notify him if something went wrong.

Thinking gloomyly, yes, it's not good to go out with wet hair, so I sat down.

"How's it going outside?" It's been a while since they got back.

"A lot of guards came, and the entrances and exits of the mountain were guarded. Without His Majesty's order, no one can leave without permission." Mu Xi said while wiping Shen Yu's hair.

"What about Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty summoned Prime Minister Fang and other ministers to discuss matters, and they are next door."

"What are those people outside doing?"

"The ministers are all sensible, they didn't make trouble, they stayed quietly in their tents, and some were hunting outside. His Majesty also sent people to find them back."

After the hair was almost dry, Eunuch Meng came in with a bowl of medicine.

"I heard that Your Majesty is almost ready to clean up. This is the anti-shock medicine specially ordered by His Majesty. Please use it, Your Majesty."

Shen Yu took the medicine, and slowly stirred it with a spoon. Because of soaking in hot water, her face was slightly blush, and at first glance, she looked very good.

"Your Majesty is concerned about your lord, and specially asked the slave to come and serve you. If your lord needs anything, just ask."

Shen Yu drank the medicine, and Eunuch Meng hurriedly presented the candied fruit that had been prepared.

Shen Yu picked up one and put it in his mouth: "Is this also requested by His Majesty?"

Eunuch Meng nodded: "Your Majesty knows that your lord is afraid of suffering, so he asked the slave to prepare a lot of candied fruit."

Shen Yu ate a few, barely suppressed the bitterness in his mouth and stopped continuing: "Where is Your Majesty now, is it convenient for me to go find him?"

"It's convenient, it's convenient," Eunuch Meng nodded repeatedly, "Please come with your master."

Eunuch Meng didn't go with him today because he heard from the guards how dangerous it was today. Shang Junlin specially ordered that if your nobleman is afraid of looking for him, just take someone there.

Now that Your Majesty wants to see His Majesty, Eunuch Meng will naturally bring someone there, but he just wants to say that Your Majesty is afraid, Eunuch Meng really can't tell.

Shen Yu didn't intend to pretend to be afraid all the time, except for the matter of rebirth, he felt that there was no need to hide Shang Junlin's other things.

Eunuch Meng took Shen Yu to another tent, which was specially used for discussing matters. There were two burly guards standing outside. When they saw Shen Yu, they saluted respectfully.

The discussion in the tent had come to an end. Seeing depression, Shang Junlin waved his hand to signal them to step back first.

Shang Junlin also changed his clothes. He was no longer wearing a narrow-sleeved riding uniform, but an imperial crown with wide sleeves. If something like this happened, the hunting would naturally be impossible to continue. The most important thing right now is to find out The origin of the assassin, and whether there are assassin accomplices hidden in the mountains.

Compared with other things, the emperor's safety is the top priority.

"Any clues?"

"Still investigating," Shang Junlin stroked the temple hair on the depressed forehead, "Ah Yu will stay by my side for the rest of the time."

"Besides those who were caught, are there other assassins?"

"Just in case, staying by my side will make me feel more at ease."

Whether the assassins have any accomplices is still unclear. Some of the assassins who ambushed them in the forest were killed on the spot, and some were captured alive.

"Does Your Majesty have any thoughts on the origin of these people?" There was another question that was gloomy and uncertain, "Are these people coming for His Majesty, or for me?"

Shang Junlin's heart trembled, they all acquiesced that these people came for him, they never thought about it, there is another possibility, what if these people came for depression?

Shang Junlin immediately called Eunuch Meng: "Go to Fang Jun and tell him that no matter what method he uses, I must ask those people who they are going to assassinate."

Eunuch Meng took the order and left.

Fang Jun didn't know what happened to Shen Yu when he was a child. Although he didn't understand Shang Junlin's order, he still followed the order to interrogate these people.

"Your Majesty, a sneaky person has been caught." The guard pushed a bound person in.

Shen Yu glanced at the man, dressed as a domestic servant, with an ordinary face, being pressed down and kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear.

"Take it to Fang Junna and let him interrogate it properly."

"Yes."

The guard carried the person out, and Shang Junlin rubbed his eyebrows irritably.

For such a big mistake, the officials who were in charge of the inspection at the time couldn't absolve themselves of the blame, and tremblingly came to plead guilty.

Shang Junlin sat at the top, condescendingly looking down at the officials kneeling on the ground, he didn't speak, and the tent fell into deathly silence.

The official knelt on the ground, his calves couldn't help shaking, and his back was gradually soaked in cold sweat.

"You said, when you sent someone to check earlier, there really wasn't anything wrong in the mountain?"

After a long time, an unclear question from the emperor came from above.

"Yes, yes, I would never dare to lie, even if I borrowed 1 courage, I would not dare to lie about this matter, Your Majesty has learned from you." The minister repeatedly kowtowed.

He really didn't dare to lie about this matter. This matter was not only about his own wealth and life, but if one of them failed, it would implicate the nine clans, and he would become the sinner of the entire family.

Tapping the table with his fingers regularly, Shang Junlin said in a low voice: "I can give you a chance to redeem your sins. If you can find out how these people quietly avoided all the guards and entered the mountain, I will let you go." Let it go."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty."

No one would have thought that the autumn hunting would be assassinated, and the mountains would not be as safe as the palace. The minister began to write a letter, hoping that His Majesty could return to the palace as soon as possible.

"If this assassination is aimed at His Majesty, I think they have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time." Shen Yu flipped through the papers handed over by the ministers, and had to say that they were right in thinking, the palace was indeed safer than here.

"I haven't encountered such a thing for a long time, and I still think they have stopped." Shang Junlin sneered.

"Driven by profit, ambition never dies." This kind of thing can never be put an end to.

After washing, Shen Yu and Shang Junlin were about to go to bed, when the leader of the forbidden army suddenly came to report.

Eunuch Meng stood outside, seeing the anxious expression on the other party's face, he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly reported to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, go and have a look. There is nothing important, and Eunuch Meng won't bother you at this time." Shen Yu pushed Shang Junlin.

Not long after going out, Shang Junlin walked in with a frosty face.

Shen Yu sat up: "What's wrong?"

"Shang Junyue was rescued."
