The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits

"Why does Your Majesty care about who I wear my clothes for?"

"Because this kind of fabric is most suitable for making close-fitting clothes, so naturally it can only be shown to me." Shang Junlin replied seriously.

Shen Yu pinched his arm: "Why didn't your majesty say that the Shangyi Bureau made it for you to wear?"

"Ayu reminded me, when the time comes, let Shangyi Bureau make a set, and I will wear it with Ayu."

"Your Majesty also wears red?" Shen Yu looked up at Shang Junlin.

He seldom sees Shang Junlin wearing colors other than black. In fact, Shang Junlin is very suitable for black. The man is tall and has a stern face. He wears a black imperial crown suit, which is overwhelming. Shen Yu likes this kind of Shang Junlin very much. Jun Lin.

But this does not prevent him from wanting to see Shang Junlin in other colors.

Different colors give people different feelings. Shen Yu imagined Shang Junlin's appearance in a red dress, which is bound to bring different sensory stimulation.

"Ah Yu wants to see me in red?"

Nodding gloomily.

"I agree."

Sullenly stunned, he realized that Shang Junlin was talking about wearing red clothes.

"National weddings are all dressed in red, it's normal for Ah Yu to like it."

"Why did your majesty suddenly mention this? I just thought that your majesty must look good in red. What does it have to do with folk marriages?"

Shang Junlin smiled but said nothing.

Shen Yu raised his hand: "Speaking of which, the day I entered the palace, His Majesty was also wearing a black robe."

Shang Junlin grabbed his hand, put it on his lips and kissed: "Yes, most of the emperor's clothes are black, with slightly different details, the ones worn that day were embroidered with red and gold threads. "

Shen Yu had just entered the palace at that time, so he didn't pay attention to these things carefully, and he couldn't notice it later because he fainted. Thinking of this, he asked: "I suddenly fainted on the day I entered the palace, is it related to the person who arranged the assassination?"

It has been a year since the incident, Shang Junlin didn't say anything, and Shen Yu didn't ask too much, until he encountered a similar thing again in Cangqi Mountain.

"I originally thought that they targeted Ah Yu because of me. Now it seems that is not the case. No, it should be said that it is not completely so. I have found out who did it that day. According to the confession, the more suspect is the station. The person behind the king of Yue, but the possibility of what Ayu said is not ruled out."

Shang Junlin had a deep memory of what happened that night. After changing most of the people in Yuzhang Palace, the same thing never happened again.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much, unless they can predict that I will enter the palace, and ambushed people in the palace early. The palace is no better than other places. If it is arranged temporarily, it will definitely attract the attention of others." Shen Yu himself denied this. guess.

"The people behind the king of Yue have been caught. I handed them over to Fang Jun. In a few days, there should be results."

"It's been this year, it's really..." Goofy.

Not only did the ministers not enjoy their due annual leave, but they were also busy with various things every day. Among them, the three cabinet ministers were the most laborious.

Needless to say, the prime minister and Fang Jun, Shang Junlin will entrust them with everything, and another cabinet minister who comes from another family needs to be busy with various things. Almost everything that happens in the court must be approved by the cabinet minister. Hands, including King Yue's rebellion and palace banquet assassination.

Although Shang Junlin called the prime minister and Fang Jun to handle the matter, it doesn't mean that Mr. Duan can stay out of it completely. Those who should understand and follow up should not be left behind.

Because these two matters were too involved, officials from aristocratic families in the court and officials from poor families had to let go of their grievances and deal with this matter first.

Without the upper-level officials who were colluding with the people of Beimo, after the big change of officials in Subei, the official atmosphere has changed from before. Although there are minor frictions, the overall situation is still very harmonious.

He Chengyu, Fang Jiayi and the others quickly gained a foothold in Subei. Jiang Huaiqing was supposed to shine in Subei like them, but the emperor issued a secret order, so he had to change his appearance, conceal his identity, and go to Beimo.

Except for He Chengyu, no one else knew about this for the time being.

The news of the assassination had not yet spread to Subei, but the story of King Yue's rebellion had already spread throughout Dahuan.

Especially after King Yue and the people behind King Yue were arrested, the imperial court completely lost all scruples and issued orders everywhere to encircle and suppress the remnants of the rebels, and if they encountered them, they could be executed on the spot.

There are also remnants of these people in Subei. He Chengyu seconded a small team of Subei Army from the generals of the Subei Army to search in the territory of Subei. With the cooperation of him and Jiang Huaiqing, many forces that were ordered to be exterminated by the imperial court were successfully resolved.

Sometimes, He Chengyu and Jiang Huaiqing would act together with the Subei Army, and Subei officials were used to them disappearing together from time to time, and reappearing together every few days.

Thinking that the two of them are trying to accumulate more credit, officials who are on good terms with the two often make fun of them.

However, no one knew that their real purpose in doing this was to reasonably make Jiang Huaiqing disappear from everyone's eyes for a period of time.

Jiang Huaiqing came to Subei not long ago, and he didn't do anything special. Others may not pay much attention to the sudden disappearance of such a person, but the officials who came to Subei with them are different, especially those who have some friendship.

Jiang Huaiqing's visit didn't take a day or two. It was easy to cover up for a short time, but if it took a long time, it would easily make people suspicious.

So, they arranged a play.

Li Daitao froze when he was seriously injured at birth.

As usual, He Chengyu and Jiang Huaiqing led the Subei Army to take action together. In less than two days, He Chengyu appeared at the gate of the government office holding Jiang Huaiqing covered in blood.

"What's going on?!" The young official who just resigned didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly beckoned people to come forward, helped Jiang Huaiqing out of He Chengyu's arms, and several people helped He Chengyu to walk into the official office.

"Call the doctor!"

After a while of busy work, the two were settled, and the officials also learned the whole story from He Chengyu who was still awake.

They misjudged and were injured by the traitors.

He Chengyu's injury was relatively minor, and he did not delay his work after the bandage was completed. Jiang Huaiqing's injury was more serious. After the doctor saw it, he remained in a coma.

"Huaiqing was injured so badly to block me..."

It was the first time that the usually prudent people showed their confused side, and the officials who knew them very badly.

"Master Jiang is an auspicious person, and there will be no accidents."

"Yes, we invited the best doctor from Subei, if it's not possible, let's go up and ask His Majesty to send an imperial physician."

"Don't worry too much, nothing will happen, you are also injured, take care of yourself."

"I know," He Chengyu wiped his face, the man who has always paid attention to his image couldn't hide his frustration, "Since Huaiqing was injured because of me, I should take good care of him before he recovers, and I will bring him to my house Take care of him until he is well."

Everyone knew that he had a good relationship with Jiang Huaiqing, and they must have felt uncomfortable when this happened. Seeing that he wanted to take him back to the mansion, they didn't try to dissuade him.

Besides, if people like it, what's the use of dissuading them?It's annoying for nothing.

In this way, He Chengyu brought Jiang Huaiqing back to the mansion, along with the doctor who treated Jiang Huaiqing.

No one noticed that a few days later, an unremarkable carriage drove out from the side door of He's mansion. It was Jiang Huaiqing who was seriously injured and unconscious.

The carriage drove all the way to an inconspicuous house outside the city, and stopped.

Jiang Huaiqing got off the horse, and there was a guide who had been waiting for him for a long time.

"My lord, the road guide and other relevant documents are ready."

Jiang Huaiqing changed his clothes and modified his appearance. After half an hour passed, he looked at himself in the bronze mirror, which was both familiar and unfamiliar.

"When your lord arrives in Beimo, you can go here with the token. There will be someone waiting for you there. If you need it, you can send people there. This is the map of Beimo. The places where we have people are specially marked. .”

Jiang Huaiqing wrote down the location marked on the map, but he didn't take it with him when he set off. Some things are far safer in his mind than on his body.

Subei's news was sent back to the capital through Yinlongwei.

Shen Yu also got news about Subei from "Yinghuo".

"Who came up with this idea? It's preconceived to let other people see the appearance of being seriously injured, and then stay in seclusion in the name of recuperating, which greatly reduces the possibility of being suspected."

"It's He Chengyu, he submitted the papers to plead guilty." Shang Junlin took out one from the pile of papers that had been approved, and handed it to Shen Yu.

"Did Jiang Huaiqing tell him the plan to be implemented?" Shen Yu opened the booklet and read it at a glance, "I didn't say it clearly, but He Chengyu guessed a little bit."

"That's right, I asked Yin Longwei to watch him a little bit, if there is any change..." Shang Junlin's voice became cold.

Shen Yu has no doubt that if He Chengyu does something he shouldn't do, Shang Junlin will directly order Yinlongwei to deal with him.

Shen Yu put the booklet back on the table, thought of another matter, and said, "Since His Majesty sent Jiang Huaiqing to do this, he must have confirmed that Jiang Huaiqing's identity is correct, can Your Majesty tell me what he found? "

"His life experience is very simple, and it is no different from the ones found before. If I insist, his teacher seems to have been an official in the court. The court was too chaotic during the first emperor's time. There were many officials who resigned and were dismissed. I can't be sure for the time being. Which one was his teacher?"

"Hmm..." Shen Yu lowered his eyes and pondered. Although Jiang Huaiqing was his capable subordinate in his previous life, Shen Yu didn't know much about his past. Shen Yu never forced others to mention things that others didn't want to mention. He was not so vigorous curiosity.Asking today is also taking advantage of Shang Junlin's investigation.

"Speaking of this, the identity of the person behind King Yue has been found out, so Ayu might as well guess." Shang Junlin held Sullen's wrist and pulled him to sit beside him.

"It must have a certain connection with the late emperor. I am not familiar with the ministers of the late emperor when he was in power. His Majesty asked me to guess, but I really can't guess anything."

"It was Taifu Zeng who was demoted by the late emperor because of a trivial incident. I doubted so many people, but I never doubted him."

"Didn't this Taifu be killed on the way to demote?" Shen Yu was surprised.

He had heard about this incident, because it was too much trouble. After Mrs. Zeng was killed, the first emperor became very angry. Fu's officials were sent to prison to ransack their homes, and returned the court's short-term stability.

"I am very suspicious now, whether the first emperor was really confused or fake in the latter part of his reign." If he was really confused, why did he arrange such a careful follow-up? If it was fake, what was he trying to do?
