The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits - Chapter 191
If this matter is put in the past life, Shen Yu can still understand. He made a lot of enemies in the past life, and there are many people who want him to die, but in this life he has entered the palace without doing anything, even if it is a grudge, too late.
“It’s not necessarily for Ayu.”
Shang Junlin felt that in the final analysis, it was probably because of himself.
He has been on the throne for so many years, and there are many people who hate him. Even before he ascended the throne, there are many people who want him to die. Although those who have put in action have been solved by him, it is inevitable that some fish will slip through the net.
“Your Majesty, can I go see that assassin?” Shen Yu wanted to be sure if this person came after him, and if so, is there someone behind him.
Shen Yu doesn’t like to have a sense of crisis when things are imminent, and if he wants to do it, he must eliminate all dangers in the seedling stage.
Shang Junlin thought of the appearance of the dancer when he left, and his voice was slightly hesitant: “…Wait for two days.”
Shen Yu only needed to see people once, he nodded when he heard the words, remembered another thing, and asked, “Why did Your Majesty come out so soon, is the matter over?”
Naturally not.
After getting the news that Shen Yu was coming, Shang Junlin dropped the half-discussed matters and came out to see him. Anyway, those matters would be unclear for a while, and he could continue the discussion after he left the ministers.
The ministers didn’t expect to say halfway, Shang Junlin suddenly went out and looked at each other.
“Is there something important, Your Majesty?”
Eunuch Meng smiled and didn’t know how to answer. It was impossible for him not to report when Shen Yu came, otherwise he would be the one to eat and hang, but he didn’t expect that His Majesty would just drop the minister and leave.
Seeing Eunuch Meng’s expression, the prime minister guessed something, and called out to draw everyone’s attention back: “Your Majesty must have something to leave in a hurry, let’s continue.”
As Shang Junlin said, he was not present, and the matters discussed by the ministers could be carried out normally.
The Prime Minister and Fang Jun controlled the topic. They were discussing matters related to this assassination. Unlike the last time, the assassination took place in the palace and involved more and more complicated people.
Shen Yu didn’t want to delay Shang Junlin for too long, and Shang Junlin refused to go back alone, so he had to go with him.
When the ministers saw Shang Junlin go out and brought back a gloomy one, they all opened their eyes, only the Prime Minister and Fang Jun showed a hint of understanding in their eyes.
“I see Your Majesty, Your Majesty.” No matter what they thought, the first time they saw someone, they all stood up and saluted.
“Don’t be too polite.” Shang Junlin hugged Shen Yu and sat on the throne.
When a minister saw this scene, he opened his mouth and hesitated.
“This matter involves your majesty. I think that your majesty has the right to know everything. They slander your majesty for no reason. There must be a reason. What do you think this reason is?”
Shang Junlin preemptively attacked, and the thoughts of the ministers were taken away by him, and he was not entangled in the question of whether he was suitable for appearing here as a noble monarch.
“The minister thought that we could start with the people around your lord to see if he was someone who had a grudge against your lord in the past.”
“Murdering Your Majesty is a serious crime. Regardless of whether your noble lord really did it or not, as long as there is suspicion, there will be a estrangement with His Majesty…” The minister who spoke gave Shang Junlin a look and slowly looked away, “Of course, , Your Majesty and your gentleman are more affectionate than Jin, and they are not deceived by outsiders.”
“This assassination can be said to kill two birds with one stone. Whether it is successful or not, it can pull your lord into the water. The minister believes that the person who planned this incident must have had a conflict with your lord.”
“The minister is too far to ask, can your lord come up with any suspicious characters?”
Shen Yu has been thinking about it for a while, but there is no result. Otherwise, he would not have thought about seeing that dancer.
Until the leader of the forbidden army and the leader of the Hidden Dragon Guard came to report, they did not discuss any useful results.
“The person behind King Yue was caught?” Shen Yu couldn’t believe it when he suddenly got the news that the person was caught.
“I sent Yinlongwei and the Imperial Army to act together, and the soldiers were divided into two groups, so it can be considered that the person was captured.”
This arrest has been planned for a long time. Since the first time King Yue was put in a dark prison, after nearly a year, the net was finally successfully closed.
“Congratulations, Your Majesty, for getting what you want.”
“Thanks to Ayu.” Shang Junlin embraced Shen Yu and kissed him heavily on the forehead.
The people behind the King of Yue were arrested, and Shang Junlin had more work to do. This game that the late emperor had set up for Shang Junlin before his death was finally solved.
The people behind the scenes were locked in a dark prison alone. In order to prevent accidents in the middle, heavy troops were sent to guard them. Shang Junlin transferred people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to deal with this matter together.
One side is assassination, the other side is rebellion. The ministers are too busy with these two things, let alone spend the year well.
The Marquis of Zhenbei was dismissed from office at home, and naturally the palace banquet did not participate. When the news of the emperor’s assassination was heard, it had already been two days.
“Master Hou, this subordinate heard some news from outside, I don’t know if it’s true or not.” After discussing the matter, a confidant who was very valued by the Marquis of Zhenbei hesitated.
“What news?” Because of being dismissed from office, Zhenbeihou looked a lot older during this period of time.
“It’s about your gentleman,” the confidant lowered his voice. “The subordinates got the news from the palace that the assassination was vaguely related to your gentleman. There is a saying that it was the noble prince who made the assassination.”
“What nonsense!” Zhenbeihou slapped the table vigorously.
“Master Hou, calm down, this matter is not groundless. It is said that on the night of the assassination, your nobleman threw a cup for no reason, and the dancer who originally danced well would act.”
The Marquis of Zhenbei fell silent and wiped his face wearily: “What does Your Majesty say about this matter?”
“Your Majesty has suppressed the news and ordered people not to spread it. Whether this is true or not, it is extremely detrimental to the Hou Mansion.”
“Benhou knows that Shen Yu would not do such a thing, there must be some misunderstanding.”
If the assassination is true, it will bring disaster to the Nine Clan.
Standing by the window, Zhenbeihou watched the sunset slowly fall, and suddenly remembered what happened many years ago.
Just at this moment, the confidant spoke again: “My subordinates are worried that this incident will be related to the forces that Madam said in the past. If it is related to them, I am afraid that there will be continuous disturbances in the future.”
It is said that the turmoil is small, and it is the crime of assassination. This is obviously the rhythm of wanting to send everyone to a dead end.
“Let’s take a look first, if it doesn’t work, Ben Hou will come to the palace.”
The two people in the room didn’t notice that a piece of clothing flashed under the porch outside the house.
Shen Qingran passed by by accident. He didn’t expect to hear such a big secret from him. Of course, he hoped that Shen Yu would end up miserably, the worse the better, but the premise was that he would not be implicated.
He has been in this era for many years, and he knows that ancient times are different from modern times. He and Shen Yu are half-brothers. If Shen Yu commits the big crime of punishing the Nine Clan, he will not be able to escape.
He didn’t want to accompany Shen Yu to death at all.
When he heard that Shang Junlin suppressed the matter later, Shen Qingran’s heart that was hanging high was relieved.
At the same time, there is also a strong jealousy, why can Shen Yu have the best of everything? After entering the palace, he was favored alone, not to mention that now the king of a country is still willing to suppress the news of assassination for him.
Jealousy gnaws at the heart like a poisonous snake, Shen Qingran madly wants to destroy everything, but can’t do anything.
Waking up in the middle of the night, Shen Qingran found a man wrapped in a black robe standing beside the bed.
“Who are you?”
“It doesn’t matter who I am, the important thing is that I can fulfill your wishes. Do you really want to take Shen Yu’s place? It was obviously you who entered the palace at the beginning. Why should Shen Yu take all the benefits?”
A hoarse voice came from the hood, with a strange demagogic power.
Shen Qingran was not confused and stared at him vigilantly: “What exactly do you want to do?”
“I can help you replace the gloomy position, you just need to promise me a small request.”
“You can do it if you say you can? Don’t fool me as a three-year-old child.” Shen Qingran wanted to take the place of Shen Yu, but he wouldn’t just believe what other people said. Now, all he believes in is himself.
“You said that you can let me take the place of depression, and I think others can too. Go find someone else. Compared with me, a lot of people in the capital want that position.”
After speaking, he covered his head with the quilt, apparently not intending to continue communicating.
The black-robed man stared at him for a while, let out an inexplicable hum, and left.
Everything that happened in Zhenbei Hou’s mansion was transmitted to Shen Yu’s ears through “Yinghuo”.
“Yinghuo” is the name Shen Yu gave to his own forces. It is mainly responsible for delivering news for Shen Yu. In the previous life, “Yinghuo” developed to the extreme in Shen Yu’s hands. The intelligence network spread all over the world, which provided convenience for the King of Yue. In this life, Shen Yu Back when “Yinghuo” was still in its infancy, everything had to start all over again.
Fortunately, the most important thing Shen Yu lacked was time.
After a year of development and experience from previous lives, “Yinghuo” grew very fast. Shen Yu sent people to Beimo with Jiang Huaiqing. In addition to protection, another purpose was to root “Yinghuo” in the northern desert. .
“You mean, haven’t tracked down the whereabouts of the man in black robe?” Shen Yu played with a red plum in his hand.
Mu Xi lowered his head: “Yes, that person appeared suddenly and disappeared suddenly, and our people were lost.”
Shen Yu put the red plum into the white porcelain vase: “Pay more attention to the people around Shen Qingran, as long as things in this world exist, they will definitely leave traces, what Yinghuo wants to do is to classify people according to these traces. find out.”
“The servant understands.”
Shen Yu fiddled with the white porcelain vase on the table: “Does it look good?”
Mu Xi smiled: “What’s wrong with being handed by Young Master?”
When Shang Junlin came back, he found that there was an extra touch of red in the bedroom, and Shen Yu followed his gaze: “It’s the red plum brought back by Your Majesty.”
“Ayu’s ingenuity should be rewarded.”
After finishing the meal, Shang Junlin took Shen Yu for a walk outside: “Ayu said that he wanted to see the assassin, and he can do it today.”
Shen Yu asked: “Master Fang, did they ask anything?”
Shang Junlin’s eyes lingered on Shen Yu: “I asked a little, that assassin confessed, and the people behind the scenes arranged this assassination, not to kill me, but to put the crime of assassination on Ayu.”
“I’ve been thinking for the past few days, who has such a big hatred with me, who would not hesitate to plan an assassination, just to frame me and frame me. After thinking about it, I didn’t expect to hate me so much. Are you the one to be dealt with by the assassin, I’m thinking, will there be any connection between the two.” Shen Yu kicked the stone at his feet.
Shang Junlin frowned: “Ayu means that the same group of people are targeting you?”
