The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits

"I'm not sure either," Shen Yu just had this thought, "After so many years, no one knows who was trying to do something to me at that time."

"If I hadn't directly silenced..."

Shen Yu raised his hand to cover Shang Junlin's mouth: "If His Majesty hadn't smothered his words so quickly and made those people fearful, maybe there would be a second or third assassination later on, and I would be lucky enough to meet His Majesty once, it's impossible Always so lucky.”

Shang Junlin knew that what Shen Yu said was right. At that time, Shen Yu was too young to protect himself. If his actions hadn't frightened the people behind him by accident, waiting for Shen Yu would most likely be forever. Endless assassination.

With slightly cool fingers covering his lips, Shang Junlin's lips moved, and he withdrew his hand gloomily.

The fingers hanging in the sleeves curled up, and he looked away gloomyly: "Didn't your majesty say that you can take me to meet the assassin today, and when will you go?"

"I asked Meng Chang to prepare the car."

Shang Junlin was about to leave the palace, Eunuch Meng hurriedly arranged a carriage, and the two went straight to the dark prison without stopping.

Fang Jun got the news of the Holy Majesty's visit, so he went to the prison first, and got everything in order before they arrived.Seeing two people, he stepped forward to salute.

"The person His Majesty wants to see is here, please come with your Majesty."

Because he was going to face the saint, the assassin was "prompted" in advance, escorted by two jailers, and brought in front of Shang Junlin and Shen Yu.

Because of the effect of the incense, Shen Yu's memory of that day is relatively vague, and he doesn't even remember what the assassin looked like. After seeing him today, his memory of that day is much clearer.

The assassin's expression was numb. When he saw Shang Junlin, he retreated reflexively, and the numbness in his eyes was replaced by fear.

Shen Yu raised his eyebrows, leaned into Shang Junlin's ear and whispered, "What did Your Majesty do, that she is so afraid of you?"

Shang Junlin glanced over the assassin without emotion, squeezed the depressed hand, and avoided talking about the depressed question: "You can ask whatever you want."

Shen Yu just asked casually, and didn't have to get an answer. Shang Junlin didn't say anything, he stopped asking, and turned to look at the assassin kneeling in front of him being escorted by the jailer.

"Apart from you, do they have any other plans?" Shen Yu asked while leaning on Shang Junlin.

"Have."

"What action?"

"I do not know."

"Is there anyone else who assassinated besides you?"

"Nothing."

"In the palace, is there anyone else besides you?"

"Have."

"Who gave you the incense on your body?"

"It was given by the master."

……

Shen Yu asked many questions one after another, and the other party answered everything, until Shen Yu asked the last question, and the other party fell silent.

"why me?"

After a long time, the other party replied: "It is the master's order."

After a questioning, it seemed that something was asked, and it seemed that nothing was asked. Fang Jun explained from the side: "This woman seems to have been specially trained. It took me a lot of effort to pry her mouth open."

When he came out of the dark prison, Shen Yu suddenly thought of Zhu Wang who was also imprisoned in the dark prison, and he pulled off Shang Junlin's sleeve.

"how?"

"Your Majesty, send someone to investigate Zhu Wang's attitude. Zhu Hua has old grievances with my mother. Maybe you can get some clues from him."

"it is good."

Shang Junlin called Yinlongwei and gave some instructions in a low voice.

When the two came out of the dark prison, the sun was covered by dark clouds, and they looked at the sky gloomily: "It seems to be raining."

Sure enough, the carriage had only been driving for a short while before it began to rain outside.

The rain was getting heavier and the sky was getting darker and darker. Seeing that the rain would not stop for a while, Shang Junlin ordered to find a place to shelter from the rain.

"The sun was out just now, and it rained so heavily all of a sudden." Shen Yu lifted the curtain and glanced outside.

With Shang Junlin's order, the carriage turned around and drove to another place.

They took shelter from the wind and rain at a nearby house.

The road from the palace to the secret prison is very remote, and there are no high-ranking officials living nearby. Eunuch Meng chose a family nearby. The owner of this house is very kind. Hearing that they came to shelter from the rain, he rushed to welcome them in.

Both Shen Yu and Shang Junlin wore casual clothes when they went out of the palace, and their identities could not be seen, but it is not difficult to see from their clothes, words and deeds that they have extraordinary backgrounds.

There was only one woman in the house. According to the woman, all the men in the family had gone out to do business, and she was the only one at home on weekdays.

"Both gentlemen drink some tea to warm up." The woman brought out hot tea from the room and put it in front of Shen Yu and Shang Junlin.

"Thank you, ma'am." Shen Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"The weather is really unpredictable. The sun was shining just now, and it rained so much in a blink of an eye. I don't know if my family has been caught in the rain outside." The woman looked at the rain outside the house with a worried expression.

Shen Yu found a lot of unfinished umbrellas in the house, and guessed that the woman's business was selling umbrellas.

Sitting depressed for a while, feeling a little cold, he slowly moved to Shang Junlin's side, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I'm a little cold."

The outside of the palace is no better than the inside of the palace. In the palace, wherever depression would go, the earth dragons would burn at its peak. The home they sheltered from the rain obviously didn't have such good conditions. Coupled with the rain, the temperature inside the house was very low.

Shang Junlin reached out and hugged Shen Yu into his arms, and put his hands together in the palm of his hand: "Is it better?"

As soon as the woman came out, she saw the scene of the tall man holding the slightly thin young man in his arms, she smiled kindly, and put the food on the table.

"The relationship between the two young masters is really good. I don't know when the rain will stop. If you are hungry, the two young masters might as well use some first. The conditions of the family are poor. I hope the two young masters don't dislike it."

The rain didn't show any signs of decreasing, and the woman went to busy herself with her own business, nestling in Shang Junlin's arms, drowsy.

I don't know how long it has passed, Shen Yu woke up, and found himself in the carriage, Shang Junlin put his arm around him, and played with the hair around his face with the other.

"Has the rain stopped?"

"Ah."

The carriage was shaking, and the voice was getting weaker and weaker.

The man from the woman's house came back and saw the woman staring at the purse on the table in a daze, and walked over: "What is this?"

There were traces of rain on his body, and the woman suddenly came back to her senses: "It was left by the person who came to the house to shelter from the rain just now."

"Anyone here?"

The woman nodded, and told the man what happened just now, "I didn't open the purse, it probably contained silver."

"I know you are kind, but when you are alone at home, you should be careful. What if it is a bad person?"

The woman took a dry cloth and wiped it for him: "I saw that the man's eyes are clear, and he doesn't look like a bad person. Besides, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, who dares to do anything."

The man picked up the purse. This purse was well-made and worth a lot of money at first glance. It was heavy in his hand. When the purse was opened, the man paused.

The woman also opened her eyes wide, and it took a while to find her own voice: "This is too much..."

The man frowned: "Do you still remember the person who came here? When I go out next time, I will find a way to return the money. It's too much."

The woman nods.

Shen Yu didn't know about this episode, he fell asleep again on the way back to the palace, and this time he fell asleep until noon the next day, scaring Shang Junlin to call Imperial Physician Gu into the palace overnight.

When he woke up, Shen Yu found that his hand was being held by someone, and he moved his fingers, which immediately alarmed the man who was reading a book with one hand.

"Ah Yu woke up?"

Shen Yu rubbed his forehead, he had a headache after sleeping for too long.

After changing clothes and walking outside for two laps, Shen Yu felt really sober.

"Why didn't Your Majesty wake me up?" Shen Yu spread out his palms, and Shang Junlin was administering medicine for him.

The wound across the palm gradually healed, and after a few days, the scab had already formed.

The scabbed area is a little itchy, and the cooling ointment is very comfortable when applied to the wound.

"I can't wake you up," Shang Jun said with a crease between his brows, "Doctor Gu came to see you, and said that you have hurt your vitality during this period, and sleeping more will help you recover."

Shang Junlin didn't say a word about how flustered he was in his heart last night, he could roughly guess some of it in depression, and stroked his face with the other hand: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After serving the good medicine, Shang Junlin handed the medicine bottle to Eunuch Meng who had been waiting by the side all the time: "Ah Yu kisses me, and I won't have to work hard."

"Okay, Your Majesty, come closer." Shen Yu hooked the corners of his lips.

Shang Junlin relied on his words.

A soft kiss landed on the corner of the lips.

Shang Junlin grabbed the young man who had slipped away after the kiss, and kissed him back deeply.

The palace servants retreated silently.

Shen Yu raised his head, his injured wrist was shackled by the man, and his powerful arms bound his waist, making it impossible to retreat.

"What is Your Majesty doing?" Shen Yu felt a sense of restraint on his wrist, turned his head to avoid the man's kiss, and looked at his wrist.

At some point, the two joined wrists were tied with red silk. The tie was not tight, but it just made it impossible for him to break free.

The snow-white wrists are bound by red silk, making the skin whiter and fairer, like the first snow, tempting to leave their own marks on it.

"The imperial physician said that Ah Yu's hands should not be used forcefully or touch the water," Shang Junlin said in a hoarse voice, "Ah Yu can bite me if you can't stand it, don't grab it with your hands..."

The warm breath blew past his ears, and he curled up depressed unconsciously.

The inability to exert force in the hand made everything that followed was more difficult.

Sullenly, he bit the man's shoulder as if venting his anger, leaving a deep tooth mark.

The man didn't seem to feel any pain, or in other words, he was severely stimulated by his movements, and became more and more excited.

Depressedly tilting his head, the kiss landed on the side of his face, lingering on.

"Ayu..."

The energy that had been gloomy and cultivated all night was exhausted again.

After it was over, Shang Junlin held him in his arms and untied the red silk from his wrist.

Even though he was a little strangled by the gloomy struggle in the middle, only a faint red mark was left on his wrist.

Shen Yu touched the red silk curiously. I don't know what kind of fabric it is made of. It feels very soft and slippery.

"What kind of cloth is this?"

Shen Yu observed the red silk in his hand, it looked like silk, but not exactly the same, it was softer and tougher than silk, and it felt very comfortable to the touch.

The red cloth passed through the slender fingers, and the hands that lined it became whiter. Shang Junlin's eyes darkened, and he held the red silk and Shen Yu's hands together.

"I asked Meng Chang to find them from the warehouse." Shang Junlin rubbed the skin on his gloomy wrist, "Meng Chang found several horses. If Ah Yu likes them, I asked Meng Chang to send them to Yuzhang Palace."

"Such a fine cloth, will His Majesty use it to tie my hands?" Shen Yu squinted at him.

"Red suits Ah Yu very well, I asked the Shangyi Bureau to make clothes, and Ah Yu can wear them for me to see, how about it?"

Shen Yu was about to say something, but Shang Junlin added slowly: "I can only wear it for me to see."
