The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits

Shen Yu was protected in the man's arms, feeling the man's overwhelming anger.

"This is what you said that the clan's problems have been solved, and no one will attack Ayu?" Shang Junlin's tone was very cold, full of undisguised killing intent.

"It was my negligence," Ji Wuwang sighed, "I will give you an explanation."

The movement inside alarmed the outside, and not long after, Ji's guards rushed in and took over from Ji Wuwang's sword the child who wanted to assassinate the depressed child.

Only then did Shen Yu realize that the child was holding a sharp dagger in his hand. The dagger glowed with a faint blue light under the refraction of the sun, presumably it was coated with poison.

Shang Junlin also noticed this, and his voice became colder: "You should give us an explanation."

Why was he assassinated in the holy place that is said to be the safest?Who arranged this behind the scenes?How did this teenager escape layers of guards and hide in the holy place?What is his identity...

Countless questions lingered in his mind, the most important thing was, besides this child, does anyone else want to deal with depression?

"There can be no mistakes in the process of pulling out 'Jieyin'. I will check the situation in the clan carefully again during this period." Ji Wuwang's expression was also ugly. After "cleaning" up and down the ground, I didn't expect that there were still fish that slipped through the net.

Shen Yu looked at the child restrained by the guards. He was sure that after he came to the Ji Clan, he had never had any enmity with anyone. Then, this enmity probably continued from his mother's generation.

"Why did you kill me?" Shen Yu met the child's gaze and asked.

"..."

The child said something in a low voice, but he was so depressed that he couldn't hear it clearly, and then he pursed his lips tightly, and didn't ask any more questions.

Shen Yu believes that Ji Wuwang will give him a satisfactory explanation and stop wasting time on this child.

Shang Junlin was tightly guarded in Shen Yu's arms, his body was tense, in a highly defensive posture, and Yinlong was guarding around the two of them.

"I want to participate in the whole process." When Shang Junlin spoke, his cold eyes fell on the child, and the meaning was self-evident.

An elder beside Ji Wuwang who heard the news subconsciously refused: "This is a matter of the Ji family, you..."

"Yes." Before he finished speaking, Ji Wuwang agreed. This matter involved depression, which was equivalent to touching Shang Junlin's Nilin. Ji Wuwang knew that it was unrealistic not to let Shang Junlin participate.

The elder wanted to say something, but seeing Ji Wuwang's stern expression, he silently swallowed his unspoken words. As the head of the family, when it comes to matters about his younger brother, it is easy to not listen to the advice of others.

Besides, this time they really didn't take it for granted.

The trip was interrupted, Shang Junlin took Shen Yu back first, and Ji Wuwang took the child down with someone.Along the way, Shang Junlin didn't speak.

Shen Yu hooked Shang Junlin's hand and scratched his palm: "Your Majesty is still angry?"

Shang Junlin clenched his troubled hand: "Zhen Qi failed to detect the danger in advance."

"This kind of thing can't be predicted in advance. I'm fine. Don't think about it too much, Your Majesty. With His Majesty here, no one will hurt me, right?"

"Yes, as long as I am here, I will never allow anyone to hurt Ayu in any form."

After returning to the temporary courtyard, Shang Junlin went to Ji Wuwang's side to deal with the assassination. He would never let Shen Yu do it easily.

The people under Ji Wuwang went to investigate immediately, and there were not many people who could get close to the Holy Land, so the scope of investigation was directly narrowed. Moreover, Ji Wuwang was not completely clueless.

Shen Yu didn't go, he stayed in the house to recharge his batteries, and the people guarding Shang Junlin and Ji Wuwang outside the house minimized the danger.

But it's not entirely without danger.

A maid approached with a snack, and her gloomy peripheral vision glanced at her face, which was a face she had never seen before.

Shen Yu likes all kinds of snacks, and Ji Wuwang will certainly not treat him badly when he brings people back. Every day, all kinds of snacks are made in turn, and then delivered by a fixed maid. Shen Yu remembers the appearance of that maid, and it is not the same person who appeared today.

He looked away calmly, the fact that the maid was able to get close to him meant that Yin Longwei and Ji Wuwang didn't find anything wrong with her, it didn't mean that the maid had no problems at all, it was always right to be careful.

"You don't have to bring it here, just put it over there." Shen Yu pointed to the table on the other side.

"Yes." The maid paused, making a gesture to turn around.

It was too late to say it, but the maid's body twisted strangely, and she rushed straight towards Shen Yu.

Shen Yu dodged sideways, reached out and grabbed the maid's arm, a silver light flashed between the maid's fingers, Shen Yu squinted her eyes, and saw clearly that it was a long needle, which was brought in by the maid hidden somewhere.

"boom--"

Hearing the movement, Yinlongwei broke in through the window, quickly restrained the maid, and separated the depression and danger.

"My subordinates are late, please forgive me." The leader, Yin Longwei, knelt on the ground.

Shen Yu nodded: "Ask her, who sent it, and if there are any accomplices."

He was assassinated twice in one day, and his gloomy expression did not change. Yinlongwei sighed in his heart, he is indeed the one who can win His Majesty's heart. How many people can do this without fear in the face of danger?

Yinlongwei escorted the maid to go out.

"You don't need to take it away, just ask here. I also really want to know who is trying to kill me one after another."

Sullen stopped Yinlongwei from leaving, his voice was not loud, but with a strong pressure, for a moment, Yinlongwei suddenly felt that standing in front of them was not the noble who usually does not show mountains or waters. Jun, but His Majesty who speaks a thousand words.

Yinlongwei escorted the maid to kneel in front of Shen Yu, Shen Yu looked down at her: "Today, I also encountered an assassination in your holy place, the assassin was a ten-year-old child, what is the relationship between you and him?" ?”

The maid bowed her head and said nothing.

"It's okay if you don't tell me. Actually, I'm quite curious about the function of this needle. Tell me, how about I try it on that child?"

"No!" The maid suddenly raised her head, "This matter has nothing to do with him."

"But it is a fact that he hid in the Holy Land and attacked me. Now that he has been taken away by your patriarch, if you confess earlier, maybe you can save his life."

"What?" The maid showed panic, "What did you do to him?"

Just at this moment, Shang Junlin and Ji Wuwang led people in. They rushed over after hearing the report, and they were relieved to see Shen Yu standing in the room intact.

Shang Junlin strode towards depression, without saying a word, he directly pulled him into his arms, and was terrified: "I shouldn't have left you alone."

How long has he been gone?Something happened again.

"I'm fine." Feeling the slight trembling of the body surrounding him, he patted the man's back sullenly and reassuringly, "I'm really fine, don't worry."

On the way here, Shang Junlin and Ji Wuwang had already understood the general idea, and looked at the maid with unkind eyes. The person in charge of arranging the attendants was called to ask what was going on.

The person in charge revealed the origin of the maid under pressure. The identity of this maid is indeed fine, but something happened to the maid who was in charge of delivering snacks to Shen Yu today, and this matter was handed over to this maid. It would never have occurred to her that the temporary accident was man-made, and the maid took over the job with a purpose from the beginning.

Ji Wuwang's actions were quick, and it didn't take long before he found out the cause and effect of this incident. The Ji family had undergone several major cleansings under his power, and it had become his talk. If he wanted to investigate something, it was easy. .

"That is to say, this incident is still due to historical issues?" In the courtyard, Shang Junlin and Ji Wuwang sat at the stone table, depressed and said.

"Yes, the patriarch who was stopped by your mother has a lot of power in the clan. Except for those who left with him, it took me several years to remove the remaining powers one by one, but I didn't expect that even so, someone secretly wanted to Take revenge for him." Ji Wuwang said.

"This is normal. He has been in Ji's family for so many years. Some people are dissatisfied with his actions, and there are also some people who support his behavior." Shang Junlin said coldly.

"Where is that child's identity, has it been found out?" Shen Yu asked.

"Found it. His mother was a maid who served the patriarch. It was more useful. When the man left, he promised the maid that he would marry her when he came back. She believed it, but only waited for the man's The news of her death, coupled with my large-scale cleansing of the influence in the clan, she committed herself to a wealthy businessman, and after giving birth to a child, she has been instilling in the child the idea of ​​revenge for that person." Ji Wuwang replied.

"Using my own child as a tool for revenge..." Shen Yu did not comment on this approach, "She never thought about it, was she deceived?"

"That person left a small group of people behind for her. Because of this, she firmly believed that she was not abandoned. This incident can help me clean up the forces left by the last group of people in the clan."

It is impossible for a child to enter the heavily guarded holy place without someone's help. Taking this opportunity, Ji Wuwang can wipe out all the forces lurking in the dark.

"Where is the maid who came to assassinate me alone? She seems to value that child very much?" Shen Yu took Shang Junlin's hand in his hand and squeezed it from time to time.

The man indulged his actions, and his doting expression turned cold instantly when he heard that the depressed maid was almost hurt: "Before she came to be on duty, she was always in charge of taking care of that child, and they seemed to think that the child was theirs. Patriarch's species."

"Whether this matter is true or not is not important anymore." Ji Wuwang has dealt with these people for a long time, and he knew that it would be difficult to change their minds.

"In the next few days, there may be some turmoil in the clan area. I will arrange people to guard this side so that no one will be disturbed."

Shang Junlin will not take care of the internal affairs of the Ji family, but Shang Junlin will definitely take care of the depression. He reminded Ji Wuwang: "Don't forget what you promised me."

"People will keep it for you, and you can do whatever you want with it." Ji Wuwang nodded, and what he was talking about was trying to assassinate the two depressed people.

As time passed day by day, Yu Yu didn't feel anything yet, but he clearly felt that Shang Junlin was getting more and more uneasy.

He didn't know what the man was upset about. If he asked him during the day, Shang Junlin would always change the topic.

Feeling the gaze on his face in the mist again at night, he opened his eyes in gloom and sleepiness.

Unexpectedly, he would wake up suddenly, and Shang Junlin was obviously taken aback.

Shen Yu raised his hand to caress Shang Junlin's face: "Your Majesty, what are you afraid of?"
