The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits

"Perhaps at the beginning they really wanted to assist the King of Yue, but people's hearts are changeable. Faced with the power at their fingertips for a long time, who can guarantee that they will not come up with other ideas?"

"Your Majesty, what you mean is that King Yue is just a puppet to them?" Shen Yu quickly figured this out, so that many things before could make sense.

Why are they indifferent to the dirty water splashed on King Yue?Why was King Yue imprisoned for so long and they were not in a hurry?Wait, there are still many unreasonable things, just because what they care most about is not the king of Yue.

They just need to find the most suitable time, pay the smallest price, and save the person.

As for how the king of Yue will suffer during this period, it is not their concern.

Qiyue Mountain is within the boundaries of the capital, and when the emperor is assassinated, most of the capital's forces will flock here, and the vacated defenses will give the prison robbers an opportunity.

"So far, I haven't thoroughly investigated what the late emperor left for King Yue. In the early years, I interrogated the close ministers of the late emperor, and found out some, and even they didn't know what was hidden deeper."

Everyone in the world knows that after Shang Junlin ascended the throne, he killed many old ministers of the former court. If not for this, most of the power in the court would not be vacated at once to carry out a thorough cleansing, but few people know that among those people, Some were not put to death in the first place.

They were locked up in secret and squeezed out the last remaining value.

"Isn't it rumored that the late emperor was incompetent?" Shen Yu scratched his chin, "Looking at it this way, it doesn't look like it."

"No matter how absurd the later period is, in the early years, he was the winner who defeated all his competitors to ascend to the throne. Never underestimate such a person."

Shang Junlin didn't care why the first emperor's temperament changed drastically in the later period. Between him and the first emperor, there was only blood feud, and no father-son relationship.

Shen Yu changed the topic back: "Did Master Fang find any new clues?"

Most of the news he knew came directly from Shang Junlin.

Shang Junlin: "Master Xu didn't know about that servant's behavior, and he didn't even know about Mrs. Xu's private contact with Hanzhou. The assassin's confession can be matched with the fact that King Yue was taken away. The two came from the same Dial power."

Shen Yu: "Can you tell from them where King Yue will be taken?"

Shang Junlin: "They don't know, the actions of the two groups are separated, perhaps to prevent the current situation from happening, the assassins know nothing about the other party's follow-up actions."

Shen Yu: "It seems that the people behind the scenes also know that the failure rate of assassination is very high. They never thought that all these assassins would be able to go back."

Shang Junlin: "Regardless of whether their actions are successful or not, since they took over this task, they are doomed to sacrifice for it."

Shen Yu agrees with this point very much, if they didn’t succeed, what would happen if they were caught, needless to say, take a step back and say, if they succeeded, it would be impossible for them to escape unscathed.

"Master Xu brought the servant up the mountain. Your Majesty may go to Hanzhou to check." Even though Master Xu knew nothing about the inside story, Shen Yu still felt that it was a coincidence.

"It's just right, let's find out what the situation of Xu's family and Mrs. Xu's mother's family are in Hanzhou."

There are ready-made reasons, because the Xu family's daughter offends the emperor and nobles, so there is no need to worry about others being suspicious.

After returning to the palace, Shang Junlin was busy dealing with the accumulated government affairs, convened ministers to discuss matters, and returned to Yuzhang Palace depressed.

Even if the master is not there, the palace people dare not slack off in the slightest, and the layout of Yuzhang Palace is the same as when Shen Yu left.

I haven't seen you for a few days, and I was thinking about the flowers in the greenhouse, so I tidied up briefly, and took Mu Xi to the greenhouse.

After what happened last time, the flower room changed a group of servants. Seeing Su Yu, the palace servants respectfully saluted.

The flower room was divided into several rooms, some of which were dedicated to the flowers sent by Shang Junlin, and others were sent by people who heard that Shen Yu liked flowers, including the one sent by King An.

Shen Yu first went to see the ones he personally served.

Knowing that he likes flowers and plants, the palace servants are very dedicated to serving them. The plants in the greenhouse grow very vigorously, and the ones that should bloom are also blooming with various flowers.

Shen Yu watered them, loosened the soil, and went to the other side.

"This flower hasn't bloomed yet?" Looking at the beautifully blooming flower, he was depressed and surprised.

"This is the first time this servant has seen a flower with such a long flowering period." Mu Xi was amazed.

It was also the first time I saw Shen Yu.

The flower room is ventilated, the breeze is blowing, and the branches and leaves are swaying, as if welcoming visitors.

"Look, my lord, do these flowers seem to be welcoming you?" No matter how you say it, Mu Xi is still a young girl who has a natural love for beautiful flowers and plants.

Nodding gloomyly, she summoned the servants from the palace and asked, "Has this flower not withered?"

"Returning to your lord, yes, it has always been like this."

"Have you figured out its species now?" Shen Yu remembered that Shang Junlin had been asking people to check the origin of this flower.

"The servants went to ask the people sent by King An, they only said that they got the flower accidentally on the mountain, and they didn't know what it was called." The palace man replied.

"How could His Highness King An be so ambitious to send a flower of unknown origin into the palace?" Mu Xi was dissatisfied with this answer.

Shen Yu is also very surprised at this point. You must know that the things sent to the palace are not as simple as they appear on the surface. If something goes wrong in the middle, the person who sent the things will also have to bear the responsibility.

"The other side said that King An sent someone to send it after he confirmed that the flower was completely harmless to the human body." The palace man said the answer to the question.

It is not difficult to verify whether a flower or plant will affect the human body.

Shen Yu recalled what he had seen in the illusion before, and subconsciously glanced at the center of the flower. The delicate stamens were clustered together, and there was nothing he expected.

Withdrawing his gaze, he was so depressed that it was funny, but it was just a hallucination under the effect of hallucinogenic drugs, why did he take it seriously?

After returning home, Doctor Gu came to ask for pulse.

This autumn hunt, Imperial Physician Gu is not on the team, and Imperial Physician Wu has not yet returned to Beijing, and the imperial hospital needs someone to sit in charge.

After taking the pulse, Imperial Physician Gu changed Shen Yu's prescription for recuperation: "Your Majesty's health is much better than before, just take the prescription newly prescribed by me once a day."

It is a three-point drug, even if it is used for recuperation, it should not be used more after the body has improved.

Shen Yu doesn't like to drink medicine, upon hearing this, the smile on his face deepened.

Mu Xi was also very happy when she heard this result. Her young master has been in poor health since he was a child, and he has been taking medicine all year round. Now he is finally getting better, which makes her happier than anything else.

Shen Yu recalled that night, and told Doctor Gu about the situation after eating venison: "I don't know if this kind of thing is normal."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the venison is very nourishing. After a period of recuperation, Your Majesty's body has recovered a lot. It is a good thing to have a reaction, which proves that Your Majesty is indeed recovering."

He nodded gloomily to express his understanding.

"Is your gentleman less afraid of the cold this year than in previous years?" Doctor Gu asked.

Shen Yu recalled it for a while, and it seemed to be like this. After late autumn, the temperature in the capital dropped sharply. In the past, at this time, Shen Yu had entered winter early, but this year he didn't feel much.

Seeing Shen Yu nodding, Gu Taiyi said: "It means that the medicine used before has already taken effect. If the minister's guess is correct, this winter, your lord will not be as afraid of the cold as in previous years."

This is a good thing for depression.

After Shang Junlin came back, Shen Yu told him what Doctor Gu had said, and the man who had been annoyed by all kinds of things for a day showed a smile on his face: "Ah Yu should be fine sooner."

The gloomy body has always been a huge rock in Shang Junlin's heart, and the doctor Gu's words undoubtedly gave him a reassurance.

Subei is still negotiating with Beimo, and the prince of Beimo who was imprisoned in the capital has also received "friendly" hospitality from Dahuan. Shang Junlin will continue to throw people to Fang Jun for disposal. It is best to ask for more useful information Come.

Seeing that Da Huan had no intention of releasing him, Bei Mo couldn't sit still.

The cavalry is called, and the war is imminent.

Subei had always been wary of Bei Mo's actions. Whenever Bei Mo made a move, the Subei army would find out.

The zhezi spread to the capital as quickly as possible.

In the court, facing the issue of sending troops to Beimo, there were two schools of thought.

One side felt that it was necessary to fight, Bei Mo dared to be disrespectful to Da Huan, and he should be angered by Da Huan, and the other side felt that Subei had just experienced a natural disaster, so war was not appropriate, and peace was negotiated if possible.

Both sides insist on their own words, and neither can persuade the other.

In the end, several people cupped their hands: "Your Majesty, please decide."

"I, Dahuan, have never been afraid of any enemy. I used to be like this, and I am still like this now. Since we can't agree, we will fight." Shang Junlin concluded in a deep voice.

The ministers who had opinions and opinions wanted to say something, but in the end they just opened their mouths and silently suppressed the rebuttals.

His Majesty obviously made a decision long ago, and it is not something they can influence with a few words.

Since it was time to prepare for the war, the imperial court fell into a new round of busyness. Fortunately, during the drought, they adopted the method of private donations. They are not short of food and grass now.

This is probably something that the people of Beimo did not expect. The prince who was lurking in Subei was arrested, and there was no time to inform Beimo.

"Has Your Majesty arranged for Gu Huai to join the Subei Army?" Shen Yu took the peeled orange and put it in his mouth.

The oranges were peeled by Shang Junlin, and the hands that were used to hold the sword to kill the enemy or to write and critique papers are now used to peeling all kinds of fruits for Shen Yu.

Yinlongwei, who secretly protected Fang Jun from going to Subei, has already returned with Fang Jun, but Gu Huai did not return to the capital. Shen Yu asked the imperial physician about it, but the imperial physician only said that Gu Huai had something to do outside and could not come back for the time being.

"Yes, I gave him a choice at the time, and he asked for it to stay. He thought it would take a few more years of experience. If Bei Mo sent troops, it would give him an excellent opportunity to exercise." After peeling the oranges, Shang Jun Rin took the handkerchief from the palace man and wiped his hands.

"Is he planning to keep it a secret from Imperial Physician Gu?" Shen Yu could tell from Imperial Physician Gu's attitude that he was ignorant of this matter.

"This is a matter between the two of them. Even if Gu Huai wants to hide it, when the battle is over and the meritorious service is done, Imperial Physician Gu will know everything he should know."

After Shen Yu ate the last bite of the orange, she was silent for a while. In this life, many things are different from the previous life. What he changed is far more than just his own fate.

"Your Majesty said there is going to be a war. Does any of the ministers object?" Because Shang Junlin did it intentionally, Shen Yu knew what happened in the court very well.

"The Subei Army hasn't really experienced a war for a long time. This time, I really want them to see blood."

A sharp blade will only become blunter if left for a long time.
