The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits

Lying in the man's warm embrace, Shen Yu fell asleep after a while.

Shang Junlin looked at him with downcast eyes. He didn't feel much drowsiness at first, but he wondered if the drowsiness would be contagious. After looking at his gloomy and peaceful sleeping face for a while, sleepiness gradually came to him.

Not long after, Shang Junlin also fell asleep with someone in his arms.

After going back to sleep, he woke up feeling refreshed and depressed. He touched his side. Shang Junlin was not there, so he must have been busy with government affairs.

Hearing the movement, Mu Xi came in to serve her.

After washing up, Shen Yu took the book: "Did something happen to you? Since I came in, my expression was not right."

Mu Xi pursed her lips, wondering if she should tell Shen Yu.

Shen Yu rolled up the book and tapped her head lightly: "Tell me, what's going on?"

"It's outside. It's been rumored that the fire last night was caused by you, Young Master." Mu Xi was indignant, "Young Master obviously didn't do anything, how can these people slander Young Master for no reason?"

Shen Yu suppressed the smile on his face, took a book and sat on the soft couch: "Tell me specifically."

"This morning, when the servants went out, they heard someone whispering that something was wrong with the fire last night. Someone deliberately did it to get rid of Miss Tan's family. Otherwise, there are so many houses, why is it that Miss Tan's family lives in it? The place is on fire."

"It's indeed man-made, but I don't know what the real purpose of the people behind the scenes is." The gloom covered the deep thought in his eyes.

"It's nothing for them to discuss these things. For some reason, they suddenly agreed that the fire was set by you, young master, because you couldn't tolerate others around His Majesty, and..." Mu Xi couldn't continue.

Shen Yu picked up the teacup on the side and took a sip: "Continue."

"It was said that His Majesty had taken a fancy to Miss Tan's family, and wanted to bring Miss Tan's family into the palace, but you refused to agree, and even made a big fuss with His Majesty, kicked Miss Tan's family out, and even spread rumors to corrupt Miss Tan's family. reputation."

Hearing this, Shen Yu already understood that the ultimate target of this fire was him.

"Does Your Majesty know?" Shen Yu asked.

"I found out early this morning. Before His Majesty leaves, I told my servants not to disturb your rest."

"Didn't he tell you not to tell me these things?"

"No," Mu Xi shook his head, "Just tell the servants that if you know about these things, don't worry, His Majesty will take care of it."

"How many people think so now?"

"Except for those who serve here, it is spread elsewhere." When Mu Xi heard the rumors, he went outside to inquire about the news immediately. The more he heard, the angrier he felt. dealt with."

Shen Yu shook his head: "This kind of thing, if it's best not to come up with a truth that can convince them, it won't really stop."

The so-called three people become a tiger, even if he has not done it, if there are too many people who talk about it, this matter will be forcibly placed on him.

It is estimated that this is also one of the purposes behind the scenes.

What Shen Yu said was right, even though Shang Junlin ordered that no private discussion be allowed, such rumors did not disappear directly, but spread more and more widely, not only in the palace, but also in the capital.

Shang Junlin received the secret security from Yinlongwei, and there were layers of dark clouds in his eyes, and the air pressure around his body was getting lower and lower.

"Call the Tan family to me."

Eunuch Meng didn't dare to delay, and called the Tan family as quickly as possible.

Those who came were Mr. Tan and Miss Tan who had just put good medicine on her face.

"Have you heard the rumors outside?" Shang Junlin sat in a high position, his tone was cold.

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged," Tan Daren knelt down in fear, "I don't know where those rumors came from. I can swear that I really didn't do it. I don't know anything."

Miss Tan's family knelt silently without speaking.

"Really?" Shang Junlin's voice could not distinguish between emotions and anger, "Then why did the news come from the mouth of the Tan family at first?"

"I really don't know, Your Majesty has learned!" Lord Tan kowtowed heavily, feeling nothing but fear in his heart.

The first time he heard the rumors outside, Mr. Tan's heart turned cold. Even if he had ten guts, he wouldn't dare to spread such words to the outside world.Who doesn't know that Shen Guijun is the person on His Majesty's heart, could it be that he deliberately courted death by doing such a thing?

Shang Junlin also knew that Mr. Tan did not do this. Mr. Tan didn't have the guts, so he turned to one of the parties: "Did you find anything wrong last night?"

"Minnv can be sure that someone wants Minnv's life!" The woman who kept her head down and couldn't see her expression suddenly raised her head, "Last night, after Minnv fell asleep, she vaguely felt that someone was walking in the room, and someone was being killed. The conversation was so low that the women couldn't hear what they were saying, but it didn't take long for the house to catch fire."

"One more thing, Minnv doesn't know if it counts or not. Before going to bed last night, a strange maid brought me a bowl of blood bird's nest, saying that my father sent it specially when he saw that I was injured. Minnv felt that Something was not right, so I didn't eat that bowl of bird's nest, and didn't dare to sleep too soundly at night."

If she ate the bird's nest, and the bird's nest happened to be drugged with sleeping medicine, she would probably die in the fire directly.

Shang Junlin ordered people to take care of the Tan family. There were doubts everywhere in this matter, especially when it came to depression, Shang Junlin couldn't keep his mind.

"Your Majesty, don't frown." Shen Yu stretched out his hand to smooth the creases between the man's eyebrows.

Shang Junlin took advantage of the situation to hug Shen Yu, buried him on the shoulder and took a deep breath: "I would rather they deal with me."

His Ah Yu is so good, he puts it on the apex of his heart, and dare not hurt him at all, but those people have the courage to use such vicious methods to deal with him directly.

The more Shang Junlin thought about it, the lower the air pressure in his body became. When he catches people, he must let them know what life is better than death!

Shen Yu stroked Shang Junlin's back: "Okay, Your Majesty, don't be angry, there is nothing to be angry about."

It's just slander, he has never heard any kind of words. When he was working for the King of Yue in his previous life, he was scolded for everything. Compared with those, what he said now is nothing but drizzle.

"I don't allow them to say that about Ayu. Ayu is so good, how can they let them slander him? They don't deserve it!"

Depressed and feeling slightly warm, he relaxed into the man's arms: "Does Your Majesty know who did it?"

Shang Junlin didn't have much clue.

"Does Your Majesty want to know who did it?" Shen Yu blinked.

"Ah Yu knows?" Shang Junlin raised his head and looked at him suspiciously.

"I don't know now, but I will know soon." Shen Yu smiled and leaned into Shang Junlin's ear, whispering a few words.

"Ah Yu really..." Shang Junlin laughed.

"Your Majesty can do whatever you want, and for the rest, just lend me a few hidden dragon guards."

This matter was not limited to officials on the surface, Shang Junlin also ordered Yinlongwei to investigate, the Tan family was put under surveillance, and every servant was severely interrogated.

The hard work paid off, and they finally caught a clue.

The rumors intensified, and it has reached the point where you can hear people talking about every place you pass.

"Everything develops according to the adults' expectation. I believe that with time, the wishes of the adults will come true!" The subordinates complimented.

"You've done a good job this time. When it's done, what I promised you will completely belong to you."

"Thank you, sir!" The subordinate showed joy.

"Go down and keep an eye on the situation outside."

"Yes."

Imperial Physician Gu and Gu Huai also heard the discussion about this matter.

"I believe that your lord is not such a person." Imperial Physician Gu has been in contact with Shen Yu for a while, and he trusts Shen Yu's personality very much.

"Brother is right, if you really want to deal with that Miss Tan family, how can you use such a stupid way?" During the brief relationship, Gu Huai clearly realized that Shen Yu would definitely not do such a mindless thing out of jealousy. the idiot.

"It's probably to provoke the relationship between Your Majesty and Your Majesty. Your Majesty has been in the palace for so long and has always dominated His Majesty. His Majesty also favors Your Majesty and refuses to accept a concubine. Those who want to send their daughters to stabilize their status have long been unable to sit still. " Imperial Physician Gu sighed, "I wonder if Your Majesty will trust Your Majesty?"

"Those people don't even think about it. If His Majesty doesn't like it, what's the use of them sending people into the palace? Don't get the benefits and get involved instead." Gu Huai is very dissatisfied with this kind of behavior of relying on women to gain status and power shame.

"It's a pity that some people are blinded by power and will never figure this out."

Gu Huai nodded in agreement.

The people behind the scenes wanted to wait until the day when Shen Yu was left out by Shang Junlin, but it was a pity to wait and wait. The relationship between Shen Yu and Shang Junlin was the same as before, and even because of worrying about Shen Yu, Shang Junlin was more clingy than ever.

It's not what he thought!

Looking at the news from the eyeliner, the people behind the scenes were so angry that they wanted to vomit blood.

"My lord, Your Majesty has summoned you."

A servant's voice came from outside the house, he hastily put away the letters in hand, and strode out of the house.

When they got there, they found that there was no one else except Shang Junlin and Shen Yu.

"See Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Shang Junlin didn't talk about getting up, he could only keep kneeling, and gradually, uneasiness came to his heart.

"Master Yi, I don't think I have much enmity with you, do I?" A gloomy and calm voice broke the silence.

Master Yi's heart trembled: "I don't know what your lord is talking about."

"Otherwise, why would Mr. Yi set fire to hurt people and point all the evidence at me." Shen Yu looked at him leisurely.

Mr. Yi's uneasiness gradually increased, and he managed to maintain his composure: "Even if you are a noble monarch, you should not slander your courtiers at will."

He did it very cleanly, even if he showed his feet, he would only point everything to depression, and he would never be discovered!

"Master Yi knows better than anyone else whether it is the truth or slander. If you want others to know, you have to do nothing." Shen Yu stood up and walked to the man kneeling on the ground, "Master Yi has read so many sage books, is it Don’t you even know the simplest truth?”

"It seems that Mr. Yi still refuses to admit it," sighed gloomyly and distressed, "is Mr. Yi confident that we will not find any evidence?"

Master Yi stiffened his neck and did not speak.

"Actually, it was impossible to find out. Who asked Mr. Yi to personally send the evidence to us? It is absolutely impossible for Mr. Tan to give such a precious tonic as blood bird's nest to a concubine who is ashamed of the family, isn't it? Every aristocratic family has the background of the Yi family, of course, a bird's nest can't explain anything, what if this is added?"

Shen Yu took out a piece of rolled up paper from his sleeve. There was a special pattern printed on the end of the paper, which was specially used by Mr. Yi to send messages to the capital.

"Why did you get this?!"

Master Yi stretched out his hand to take it, but Shen Yu withdrew it: "Now are you willing to admit it?"
