The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits

"What?" Shen Yu grabbed the quilt violently, "When were you rescued?"

"Today." Shang Junlin calmed down and sat on the bed.

"Today..." He pondered deeply, "Could today's assassination be related to King Yue being rescued?"

The gloomy suspicion is not unreasonable, there are many forces with motives, but there are not many left who will rescue King Yue at the same time.

"Perhaps, I don't know if Fang Jun asked anything." Shang Junlin closed the quilt for Shen Yu.

"It hasn't been a day or two since the king of Yue was imprisoned. Besides the He family, is there anyone else trying to save people?" Shen Yu is very concerned about the matter of the king of Yue. Although the development of this life is very different from the previous life because of his intervention, But until the last moment, no one knows what the final direction of the story will be.

Shang Junlin shook his head: "No, after the failed prison robbery, I once thought they had given up their minds."

The imperial examination fraud case came to an end, and the officials involved were punished as they should be. Because of the special status of King Yue, Shang Junlin just locked him up instead of sending him to the execution ground like other officials.

The next morning, Shang Junlin summoned the prime minister and other ministers to discuss matters.

They all knew a little about King Yue, and now they learned that the man was rescued, and their hearts sank.

"Did Master Fang find out the result?" the Prime Minister asked.

First the assassination, then the prison robbery, the timing couldn't be more coincidental, no one thought it was an accident.

"Those people's mouths are hard to pry open. The purpose of this minister's interrogation of these people is His Majesty. There is more, they refuse to say." Master Fang sighed.

Those who can be arranged to carry out this kind of assassination are mostly dead men, and it is even more difficult to ask what the dead men say.

"Where's the man caught in the mountains yesterday? Did you explain anything?" Shang Junlin asked.

"That man couldn't stand the punishment, and revealed a lot of information. He came here with Mrs. Xu. He is Mrs. Xu's domestic servant. He was ordered by Mrs. Xu to send news to Hanzhou. A few days ago, Mrs. Xu Instruct him to deliver a letter to the person from Hanzhou, and he went to receive the letter yesterday." Fang Jun explained the results of the trial in detail.

"Judging from the results of the trial, there is no necessary connection between him and the assassin."

"An official wife who just came to the capital from another place should not have anything to do with assassins, but..." the prime minister paused, and expressed his doubts, "Some time ago, His Majesty sent a police officer because of the Xu family's daughter-in-law." The official went to Hanzhou, at this time, she was communicating with Hanzhou, why?"

"What was written in the letter?" Shang Junlin tapped his knuckles on the table.

"That person didn't know the content of the letter. He didn't find a contact person, so he wandered there and was arrested as a suspicious person. I have asked someone to find a contact person based on his description." Fang Jun replied.

"Fang Qing does things with confidence."

When Shen Yu woke up, Shang Junlin was not there, Mu Xi heard the movement and came in to take care of her. After she went out, Shen Yu found that the palace people were packing their things.

"Your Majesty ordered to return to the palace early." Mu Xi explained.

Two major events happened one after another, which Shen Yu can understand.

The ministers also got the news and began to pack their things.

"Autumn Hunting didn't encounter this kind of thing in previous years. I wonder if there are any assassins lurking in the dark?"

"Your Majesty has already sent people to search for it, and it passed through last night safely, so it should be fine."

"I hope it can be confirmed soon so that we can go back as soon as possible."

No one wants to spend much time in a place where there might be assassins.

Shang Junlin gave three days, if he still got nothing, the officials in charge of this matter can come to see him.

Compared with before, this is already very open-minded. Mr. An, who was in charge of checking Qiyue Mountain's safety hazards in advance, wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead, and personally led people into the mountain to investigate, not daring to delay for a moment.

The atmosphere in the camp was condensed.

The people who were found back the first day were unknown, so after learning what happened, they all broke out in a cold sweat. Assassination is commonplace for Shang Junlin, but it is common for many families who are not deeply involved in the world. For the children, it was the first time.

After something like this happened, the hunt could no longer continue. Everyone got together, and when they were nervous, they could only find something to relieve their emotions.

Ladies and ladies with good relationships get together to talk, and the young master has nothing to do, so he starts thinking about those prey.

A few days ago they hunted a lot of prey and came back, enough for them to eat for more than ten days. The elders in the family were busy with business, and they couldn't help, so they had to get together in twos and threes, set up a fire, and roast food by themselves.

Shang Junlin is very busy these days, and Shen Yu occasionally goes to discuss matters with him.

Fang Jun's tactics were extraordinary, two days later, he really got something out of those people's mouths.

"According to those people's account, the purpose of their trip is to assassinate. The order given to them by the people above is that even if they can't succeed, they must create a big mess. The more chaos the better."

"It is also said that they were divided into two groups, one group went up the mountain and the other group stayed in the capital. They didn't know what to do. They waited for several days, and finally waited for a good time to do it."

When is it, Fang Jun does not need to say, everyone knows.

"They don't have an internal response either?" The Prime Minister asked the question straight to the point.

"Yes," Fang Jun said with a serious expression, "I should pretend to be a member of a minister's family and go up the mountain together. I will report to them every day what's going on on the mountain, mainly the movements of your majesty and noble lord."

As an emperor, Shang Junlin's every move has attracted widespread attention. He will not deliberately conceal his whereabouts when hunting, and it is not difficult to find out where he has gone.

"Find that person, I really want to know if his master knows what he did." Shang Jun said coldly.

Whether the officials who brought people in knew it or not, it was impossible to stay completely out of it.

An hour later, Shang Junlin finished his business and saw Shen Yu outside.

"What are you doing?" Shang Junlin walked over and asked.

"I'm wondering who the one who rescued King Yue is." He looked back gloomyly.

There was still a trace of bewilderment in his eyes that was too late to dissipate.

Shen Yu only told Shang Junlin part of the truth. What he really thought about was the past life. At this time in the previous life, he went to the fiefdom with the King of Yue, but the King of Yue himself did not stay there. I was ill, lived in a muddle, and knew little about the outside world. Looking back now, I couldn't even find any useful information.

There were even fewer descriptions about this period of time in that book, the ordeal Shen Qingran suffered in the palace was briefly mentioned, and the rest were only a few unimportant words.

"Fang Jun asked for some information." Shang Junlin told Shen Yu the news he got.

"The two groups of people, the one who stayed in the capital was just to take the opportunity to rob King Yue?" Shen Yu pulled back his thoughts.

"I also think so. The assassination was actually very carefully arranged. At least before the incident happened, no one noticed it. The only thing they underestimated was that I was already familiar with all kinds of assassinations. Elsewhere, there is also a way to notify them immediately."

During the deadline on the third day, Mr. An finally found a way for the assassin to enter the mountain without disturbing the guards, barely saving his own life.

Under Fang Jun's investigation, the person who secretly delivered the news to the assassin was also found out. Coincidentally, he was one of Master Xu's servants.

When Mr. Xu was brought before the emperor, he was in a daze, completely unaware of how he became an assassin's accomplice.

"Your Majesty, I've been wronged! I really don't know what's going on!" Master Xu pressed his forehead to the ground, tears streaming down his face.

"Then tell me, did this servant follow you up the mountain?" Fang Jun stood aside and asked.

Master Xu turned his head and glanced at the servant kneeling next to him: "It's true that I brought it, but I really don't know what he did! I beg your majesty to learn from me!"

Shang Junlin frowned when he heard the noise below.

the other side.

Mrs. Xu has been restless ever since Mr. Xu was called away, and kept pacing up and down in the tent, her bad premonition getting stronger and stronger.

The person she sent to receive the letter did not come back. Such a big thing happened, she didn't dare to go outside to inquire, and could only wait for the news. After a few days, she no longer took any chances. , I just hope that the communication with the family has not been discovered.

After King Yue was rescued, he fell into a long period of disbelief. He thought that he would stay in a dark prison for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect to see the sun again one day.

He stood in the yard in a daze, feeling the sunshine on his body, still feeling in a trance.

Did he really come out?

Isn't it his fantasy?

He once had such a dream. In the dream, he returned to the fief, raised his arms and shouted, and returned to the capital with soldiers who convinced him, returning all the pain he had suffered to Shang Junlin.

Then woke up.

He was still in the dark and dank prison with nothing.

Under the huge gap between reality and dream, he just wanted to indulge in the dream and didn't want to wake up.

Was being rescued this time just a dream of his?

"Your Highness, pack up quickly, we have to set off." A middle-aged man came over.

"Oh, good," King Yue seemed to have come to his senses, "Where are we going?"

"We have to escape the court's chasing soldiers first. My people have caused some troubles for the emperor. We have to hurry up. We will be safe after passing through Hanzhou."

"Why Hanzhou?"

"There are people there to respond."

If it wasn't for King Yue's bloodline and the order left by that man, why would they have to go to the capital to save people, and even sacrifice so many people to go in.

Thinking of the dead soldiers who were sent out to assassinate the emperor, the man felt a pang of heartache. They were people he had cultivated with great difficulty, and most of them were lost in this operation.

The king of Yue, who was in a trance, didn't notice that the people who rescued him showed only superficial respect for him.

They rushed all the way in the direction of Hanzhou.

After confirming that there were no other assassins on Mount Qiyue, Shang Junlin ordered to return to the palace.

Shen Yu still rides with Shang Junlin, this time there are no ministers to say anything, and they are not in the mood to care about it anymore, the accompanying guards are half as many as before.

Leaning down depressed, he rubbed Shang Junlin's furrowed eyebrows: "Your Majesty is still thinking about King Yue?"

"I immediately sent Yinlongwei to investigate, but I didn't find any trace of them. Where did these people come from? I have no idea." Just one of the forces.

"I've been locked up in the dark prison for so long, even if I leave, the King of Yue won't be able to make any troubles. Those people have been silent before, and I thought they had given up." Shen Yu said in a slow voice.

"The King of Yue is just a name. What they care about is never the King of Yue, but the identity he represents." Shang Junlin knows this better than anyone else.
