The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits

"Why does Your Majesty say that?" He was depressed and puzzled.

Shang Junlin's voice was low and magnetic: "It's not because of some illusory fate, but because of Ayu. If I can get Ayu's help, I think everything will be twice the result with half the effort."

"How can I be as miraculous as His Majesty said?" Sullen smiled.

Shang Junlin stood up straight and picked up the depression: "Ah Yu, don't underestimate yourself. Who does Ayu think it is better to send to Bei Mo?"

Since they want to make a move in Beimo, just say that the other party will definitely not act according to their ideas, and they must send someone who can play a role to provoke disputes, guide disputes, and firmly control the dominant power in their own hands.

Shen Yu ran through the information of the court officials in his mind. After more than a year, his understanding of the affairs of the court has continued to deepen, because he occasionally helped Shang Junlin to approve the papers, and he knew a lot about the court officials.

"I think the person I choose might be a bit risky. Does Your Majesty have a suitable candidate in mind?" Shen Yu sat down on a chair beside him.

"Fang Jun is very suitable, but his presence in Beimo is too high for the matter of Subei, and now that he has joined the cabinet, it is not appropriate to do this kind of thing again. It is better to choose someone who does not have a high presence in the court. It's convenient to disguise." Shang Junlin sat down after him.

Nodding gloomily, the more unknown a person is, the less likely Bei Mo will be alerted.

Sullen: "What do you think of Jiang Huaiqing, Your Majesty?"

Shang Junlin: "I just sent him to take over Lin Yuan. If he is allowed to enter Beimo, won't it arouse the suspicion of Beimo people?"

Sullen: "Naturally, you didn't come to Beimo as Jiang Huaiqing. Has Your Majesty forgotten that he and He Chengyu went deep into Beimo in disguise?"

Shang Junlin: "Ah Yu wants Jiang Huaiqing to go to Beimo with a new identity?"

This matter may seem inconspicuous, but in fact it has a great impact. If it is done well, it can make the greatest contribution in the shortest time. If it is not done well, it may even cost your life and implicate Dahuan. Therefore, when choosing an executor, It must be done with caution.

"Lin Yuan has been included in Dahuan's territory. Your Majesty must send officials to take over as soon as possible. Whether Jiang Huaiqing is qualified for this task, Your Majesty can find someone to test it first."

Shen Yu said this not because of his friendship with Jiang Huaiqing. In his previous life, Jiang Huaiqing worked under him, and he knew his ability. Although Jiang Huaiqing in this life is younger than his previous life, his mind is not inferior to that of his previous life. Looking at the court, There is no other more suitable candidate than Jiang Huaiqing.

What Shang Junlin said about Fang Jun is indeed appropriate, but that was before the trip to Subei. With the matter of Subei, the people from Beimo will only hate him to the bone. If Fang Jun is sent, according to his behavior style , the risk of exposure is too great.

Jiang Huaiqing is different. He just entered the imperial court, either in the Hanlin Academy or working with the prime minister. Later, when he came to Subei, he also pretended to be He Chengyu and went deep into the people of Beimo. He didn't really do anything as "Jiang Huaiqing". No matter how you investigate, it is impossible to find him out based on these fragmentary things. As long as he is careful enough, the risk of exposure is not great.

Shang Junlin seriously considered Shen Yu's suggestion, and summoned the prime minister and Fang Jun to discuss matters in the imperial study that night.Jiang Huaiqing stayed under the prime minister for a while, and the prime minister knew him fairly well. After listening to Shang Junlin's words, the prime minister pondered for a moment.

"I believe that this method is feasible. Jiang Huaiqing acted safely and seemed careless. In fact, he did everything in a comprehensive manner, and what your lord said was very reasonable. His biggest advantage is that he doesn't have to worry about being recognized by Beimo people because of his behavior. Greatly increased the probability of his operation being successful."

Fang Jun and Jiang Huaiqing and He Chengyu have also worked together for a period of time. He believes that in time, these two young people will definitely become the new pillars of Dahuan. Although it is dangerous to go to Beimo, risks are often accompanied by opportunities. For Jiang Huaiqing , is a great opportunity.

Fang Jun also agrees that Jiang Huaiqing should do this.

The three discussed until late at night, and finally made a preliminary plan. Early the next morning, Yinlongwei went to Subei with a secret order.

Shang Junlin didn't publicize this matter. The more people who knew about it, the more dangerous Jiang Huaiqing was. Except for the prime minister and Fang Jun, no one else in the court knew about Shang Junlin's arrangement.

Since Jiang Huaiqing was going to Beimo, Lin Yuan's management was freed up. In the early court, Shang Junlin brought this matter up for discussion.

Linyuan will become a place where Dahuan specially raises war horses in the future, and Shang Junlin attaches great importance to this. The courtiers know that Shang Junlin has always valued things related to the army, so they dare not be sloppy.

In the end, an official who acted safely and had done some research on this aspect was selected to go to Linyuan, accompanied by two auxiliary officials.

After roughly handling Lin Yuan's affairs, he can start raising war horses.

After dealing with these matters, less than seven days before the Chinese New Year, Shang Junlin announced the closure of the pen, all unimportant affairs in the court were suspended, and the officials who had been busy for a year finally had a short rest.

At this time in previous years, Shang Junlin did not need to deal with official duties, and there was no one in the palace that he cared about. He would stay outside the palace alone for a few days. , he did not leave Shen Yu alone in the palace, but spent a whole year with him.

This was the case in the first year, and it will not change this year.

After the early court, Shang Junlin simply put everything in the Yuzhang Palace. If he was not depressed and refused to give in, he would even choose to summon the ministers in the Yuzhang Palace.

Although there is no need to go to the early court, it is impossible for a country as big as Dahuan to really let it go. Some important things that need to be decided by Shang Junlin still have to be dealt with.

Shang Junlin spent more time in Yuzhang Palace, and spent more time with Shen Yu. When Shen Yu woke up in the morning, he was no longer alone in bed.

Sometimes it was late the day before, and Shang Junlin would hold the depression until he woke up, and sometimes the depression would not let him go at night, and Shang Junlin would get up early the next morning to practice swords for a while.

This morning, Shen Yu woke up suddenly for some reason, and there was no familiar temperature around him. He touched the bed, and the place where he should have been lying was freezing cold.

Most of the drowsiness had faded away, and he sat up sullenly, propping himself up, his black hair hanging down his shoulders, and his inner garment slid a little with his movements, revealing porcelain-white skin, snow-like skin covered with red plums.

The old marks are not erased, and new marks are added.

The coolness invaded along the collar, Shen Yu gathered the clothes together, and called: "Mu Xi."

Hearing the movement, Mu Xi hurriedly walked in: "Young Master, why are you awake so early today?"

"Bring me my clothes, I can't sleep, where is Your Majesty?"

Mu Xi brought the clothes over, and Shen Yu put them on one by one.

"Your Majesty is practicing swordsmanship in the yard, young master, can you go and have a look?"

Depression came to interest.

He has been in the palace for so long, and Shang Junlin has been busy for a long time when he wakes up in the morning, so there is no chance to see him getting up and exercising in the morning.

Putting on a fox fur cloak, he came to the yard gloomily.

It was snowing lightly outside, Mu Xi wanted to hold an umbrella for Shen Yu, but Shen Yu refused, took the umbrella, and walked into the yard alone.

In the middle of the courtyard, a man in a black suit held a long sword, and the sound of the sword rang out as he moved.

Holding an umbrella, Shen Yu stood in a place where he could see clearly without disturbing the man, watching quietly.

It was the first time he saw Shang Junlin like this.

His hair was tied up high, and the man's muscular body was wrapped in a black dress, with a stern look and determination in his eyebrows and eyes.

The man's movements were fierce, and his every move carried a powerful aura. In the white snow, only a man could catch the gloomy eyes.

Shen Yu didn't make a sound to disturb, it was rare, the man put away his sword and walked towards Shen Yu.

"Why did Ah Yu come out?" Shang Junlin walked to Shen Yu's side and closed the neckline of the fox fur cloak for him.

Shen Yu leaned forward with his arms, covering the top of the man's head: "I heard from Mu Xi that His Majesty is practicing sword, come out and have a look."

The hand holding the umbrella was exposed and turned red from the cold. Shang Junlin frowned, and wanted to put this hand in his arms to keep warm. Seeing the snow on his body, he dismissed the idea.

Reaching out to take the gloomy umbrella: "I will support it."

The gloomy hands were a little frozen, upon hearing this, he let go and hugged Tang Pozi in his arms.

Shang Junlin held the handle of the umbrella and firmly fixed the umbrella on top of their heads.

"Isn't Your Majesty cold?" Shen Yu looked at the man in thin clothes and asked.

Shang Junlin shook his head: "I'm used to it."

"Your Majesty is still very powerful. I can't bear it if you want me." Shen Yu looked at Shang Junlin and then at himself wrapped in a ball. It seemed that the two were not in the same season.

Eunuch Meng came over with the cloak, Shang Junlin was holding the umbrella, and it was inconvenient to move, so he took the cloak gloomily and compared it on Shang Junlin's shoulder.

Ok……

Shang Junlin was too tall and it was not convenient for him to move, so he patted him on the shoulder gloomily: "Your Majesty, squat down a little."

Shang Junlin squatted down slightly, put the cloak on him gloomily, and carefully tied the neckband: "Your Majesty, it's better to take a hot bath to prevent the cold from entering the body."

"Ah."

Eunuch Meng got the order and hurriedly asked someone to prepare hot water.

Shen Yu knew that Shang Junlin practiced the sword every day, and he had never broken it. It was the first time he saw it with his own eyes. The sword was held down by Eunuch Meng, and Shen Yu only glanced at it.

It was a long sword that was pitch black, with a cold light on the blade, and patterns engraved on the hilt. Unfortunately, the time was too fast, and Shen Yu didn't see what was engraved clearly.

When the two arrived at the dormitory, the hot water was ready, and a lot of snow fell on Shang Junlin's body. After entering the room, Shen Yu untied the cloak for him, and took the umbrella in his hand: "Your Majesty, go and soak. "

Seeing Shang Junlin soaking in hot water, Shen Yu ordered Mu Xi to boil a bowl of ginger syrup.

Shang Junlin came out after changing into clean clothes, and Mu Xi came in with ginger syrup.

"Drink quickly, Your Majesty."

"I don't need this."

In the end, I couldn't hold back the depression and drank the whole bowl.

"Your Majesty should take good care of your body, otherwise I will be worried." Shen Yu put the empty bowl aside, walked behind Shang Junlin, and wiped his hair.

He rarely did this kind of thing, and it was not easy to do it. After a long time of tossing, he finally wiped Shang Junlin's hair half dry.

Shang Junlin grabbed Sullen's arm and pulled him into his arms: "Why is Ah Yu so virtuous today?"

The long black hair slid from the man's shoulders, fell onto Depression's clothes, and then fell down, making it easy for Depression's own hair to become entangled.

Shen Yu looked up at him, with a glimmer of light in his eyes: "Your Majesty doesn't like it?"

"Of course I like it."

The distance between the two was getting closer and closer, and Shen Yu slowly closed her eyes.

The door was slammed suddenly, and Eunuch Meng's anxious voice sounded from outside the door: "Your Majesty, the imperial army found a large number of suspicious people outside the capital. The purpose of the visitor is unknown. Please make a decision!"
