The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits

When Shen Yu and Shang Junlin arrived, the fire had already been extinguished, because it was discovered in time and did not cause a catastrophe.

The palace servants brought out all the flowers, and Shen Yu saw the pots of flowers that were originally vibrant turned into wilting ones, feeling very uncomfortable.

"what is the problem?"

"A palace official accidentally knocked down the candlestick." The palace official replied cautiously.

"Meng Chang, check!"

"Slaves follow orders!"

Ji Wuwang rushed over after hearing the news, with a very ugly expression on his face.

The flower house is independent of Yuzhang Palace, and the fire was stopped in time, the damage caused is not too big, the palace people moved the flowers to another place, depressed, Shang Junlin, Ji Wuwang came to another palace .

"After you said that the flower was what you were looking for, Your Majesty and I kept our eyes open. I didn't expect that someone really wanted to do something to it." After sitting down, Shen Yu spoke first.

After serving tea for them, the palace servants retreated quietly. Eunuch Meng was ordered by Shang Junlin to investigate the leakage of water in the flower house, and no palace servants were left behind.

"This flower disappeared with the former head of the family. You say that the flower was sent by King An. Where did he get this flower?" Ji Wuwang asked.

"He said it was somewhere deep in the mountains." Shang Junlin didn't fully believe this statement, but now it seems that there is indeed a big problem.

"Why did King An give me the flower?" If King An knew the origin of this flower, what would he do if he sent it to the palace?

"What is the function of this flower?" Shang Junlin was more concerned about this than anything else, "I ordered the flower grower and the imperial physician to look at it. This flower is not poisonous and harmless to the human body."

If there is, the flower did not appear here, but was destroyed long ago.

"This flower is a sacred product for healing. How could it be harmful to the human body? I have been looking for it because I want to completely unlock the 'Jie Yin'. This flower is indispensable."

"It is a sacred object of the Ji family, named 'Moon Lotus', and it needs to be cultivated with the blood of people who have received 'Jing Yin'. The maturity period is 20 years, but when it will bloom and bear fruit depends on the situation, 'Yue Lian' The lotus can cure all poisons in the world and prolong life..."

Ji Wuwang briefly introduced some of the habits of "Moon Lotus", and only then did Shen Yu know the name of this magical flower.

"With it, you need to go to the land of the Ji clan to untie the 'Jie Yin' on Ayu's body?" Shang Junlin was silent for a while after listening, "Didn't it mean that it can cure all poisons?"

"'Jieyin' is different from ordinary poison." Ji Wuwang never let go of the matter of going to the Ji clan.

"There is a woman who looks very similar to me in the palace. The Ji family is living outside. Is there anyone else besides me?" At this moment, Shen Yu thought of Shen Yue, and it was Shen Yue who made them vigilant the letter that arrived.

"Whether it's the Ji family or not, you'll know after verification."

Shen Yue always felt very uneasy these days. She found that letter under her pillow. Later, she asked the people around her if anyone had entered her room, and the answer she got was no one.

After handing in the letter, she kept thinking that something was going to happen. She had just packed up and was about to go back to her room, when she met the servants of Yuzhang Palace.

She was taken to Yuzhang Palace, and apart from Shen Yu and Shang Junlin, she also saw a man in white with white silk covering his eyes. What surprised her was that his appearance was so similar to Shen Yu.

"Wuying, give her something."

Shen Yue took the thing over, it was a small square made of jade-like material, with a groove in the middle and some complicated patterns around it.

"This is?" Shen Yue was at a loss.

"Put a drop of your blood in."

The maid at the side handed the dagger, Shen Yue looked at Shen Yu, saw him nodding at herself, gritted her teeth, picked up the dagger, and cut a cut on her finger.

The blood dripped out, and Shen Yue adjusted her posture so that the blood dripped on it.

After a while, there was no reaction.

"She has nothing to do with the Ji family." Ji Wuwang said.

Ji family?What Ji family?Shen Yue was even more at a loss.

"Take Miss Shen Yue down to bandage first." Said gloomily.

The palace servants led Shen Yue away.

"There is no blood relationship, why are they so similar?" Shen Yu has always wondered if there is any blood relationship between Shen Yue and him.

"Maybe someone chose her on purpose and sent it to you."

"This thing can detect the blood of the Ji family?" Shang Junlin looked at the small square on the table, a little curious.

"Yes, it will respond to the blood of the Ji family. If it is not the Ji family, it will not respond."

After the dressing was done, Shen Yue was sent back. After asking the palace attendants who were with her, Shen Yue found out that the conservatory was flooded today. Thinking of the letter that suddenly appeared under the pillow, she wondered if there was something wrong between the two. What is the connection.

"Why did you suddenly go into the water?" Shen Yue suppressed all the thoughts in her heart, pretending to be curious, and asked.

"Eunuch Meng and the others are investigating. They say that a palace official accidentally knocked down the candlestick, and the flowers that are your lord's favorite were placed in it. It is too careless." After speaking, the palace servant's tone was full of complaints. .

Those who serve in Yuzhang Palace don't feel depressed. The longer they stay in the palace, the more they know how rare it is to have such a master. The flower house was specially built by His Majesty for Your Majesty. Pay more attention to everyone's eyes, this disaster, your gentleman must have suffered a lot.

It is indeed a bit uncomfortable to be depressed. These flowers were found by Shang Junlin for him, but now he has suffered this crime for nothing because of other people's selfishness.

"I don't want to let this matter go lightly." Shen Yu raised his eyes and met Shang Junlin's eyes.

"Even if Ah Yu doesn't say anything, I won't just let it go." As soon as you think about it, the real target of the person behind it is "Yue Lian", and "Yue Lian" is the necessary thing for Shen Yu to release "Jie Yin" Shang Junlin couldn't suppress the tyranny in his heart.

Anyone who tries to hurt depression should die!

Eunuch Meng knew that Shang Junlin was concerned about this matter, and soon found out who knocked over the candlestick. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, this person's fate would not be good.

Those who might do something were arrested and interrogated by the Punishment Department. Eunuch Meng personally took care of them, and no one dared to be sloppy.

After the results of the interrogation came out, Eunuch Meng personally reported to Shang Junlin.

"It is true that the candlestick was accidentally knocked over, but the candlestick was tampered with in advance, and anyone could knock it over. The one who tampered with the candlestick was a little eunuch named Dongzi. One day, drowned."

"Drown?" Shang Junlin's tone was full of chills, "Continue to investigate, and investigate all the people he had contact with before his death. I want to know who ordered him to do this."

"Slaves follow orders."

"It's interesting to find a dead person." Shen Yu sneered after hearing Shang Junlin's result.

"Ah Yu doesn't need to worry about this matter, I will definitely give Ah Yu an explanation for the matter of the palace."

Shen Yu believed that Shang Junlin could handle this matter well, he arched inward, and nestled into the man's arms: "Can those flowers be saved?"

Although the fire was extinguished in time, the flowers that were close by were still affected a lot. Shen Yu took care of them for so long, especially these flowers were sent by Shang Junlin, and he didn't want to lose them because of the fire.

"I know you care about it, and the palace people have treated it. The few affected plants are no longer a major problem. The more serious ones need to be checked again. If it really doesn't work, I will send Ayu new ones."

"I want to see those burnt flowers..."

"I'll go with you."

The flower room was still being cleaned up, and the flowers were placed in another palace. Seeing Shen Yu and Shang Junlin coming together, the palace people hurriedly saluted.

"Don't be too polite."

The palace man led the two of them inside.

Most of the flowers are in good condition. Shen Yu walked to the few flowers that were in serious condition. It can be seen that the people who took care of them were very attentive. Shen Yu looked at the leaves, and now he is not sure whether these flowers can survive.

After looking around, Shen Yu was led out by Shang Junlin.

Eunuch Meng was waiting outside. When he saw the two people coming out, he hurried forward: "Your Majesty, we have found it."

"Before the accident, the little eunuch suddenly had a sum of money in his hand. He dragged someone to take the money out of the palace and gave it to his parents outside the palace. I have already arranged for people to find it."

Find the source of the silver, and you will find the person who instigated it.

The final clue points to a concubine left by the late emperor.

A long time ago, Shen Yu used his head to lock some of the concubines of the first emperor in Yuzhang Palace. Later, these people were taken away by Shang Junlin. They couldn't keep them locked up forever, so they released those who didn't know much about the inside story and put them under house arrest. They used to live in the palace.

Apart from not letting them run around, there are not too many restrictions.

"I thought these people were abandoned children. I didn't expect that there would be a day when they would be reactivated."

The reason for letting people go at the beginning was to make sure that they didn't know much. Those who knew a little more, after they couldn't ask anything, picked out a few serious crimes from their crimes and dealt with them according to their crimes.

"Your Majesty has cleaned up the harem several times. They have limited ways to do what they want to do in the imperial palace. The concubines of the former emperor who were banned by His Majesty have become the only choice."

"The first emperor will really cause trouble for me." Shang Junlin snorted coldly.

Thinking about it gloomyly, it seems that this is indeed the case. Whether it is inside or outside the palace, anyone who has anything to do with the late emperor is dedicated to making trouble for Shang Junlin.

"The last time King Huaiyu was involved, but now that King Huaiyu is dead, who else would do such a thing?"

Somewhere, there seems to be a thread that connects everything together.

Shang Junlin narrowed his eyes slightly: "There are not many people in Dahuan who are capable of doing this."

"There is also the matter that General Gu has been investigating. Maybe the two are the work of the same force." Sullen guessed.

"When Gu Huai is shocked, I will ask him to investigate together."

"I just don't know what that person wants to do. Your Majesty sent someone to find the other half of what Zeng Taifu said. How is the progress?"

"He doesn't know how to get it himself, but he has recovered a lot of things from the treasury, and the other 20 soldiers and horses and the armor have not yet disappeared." Shang Junlin is not in a hurry about this matter. Dahuan had enough soldiers and horses, and the other half of the soldiers and horses left by the late emperor could not pose much threat to Dahuan.

"Your Majesty, you might as well take this opportunity to go to the Ji Clan's land to find out what that person behind the scenes is trying to do." Shen Yu always felt that it was impossible for that person to have done so many things without any intentions, which was not in line with common sense.

No matter what that person's identity is, as long as he makes a move, they will have a chance to grab his tail, fearing that the other party will hide in the dark and do nothing.

"Ah Yu wants me to use myself as bait?"

"No, it is to put an empty bait for the other party to bite."
