The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits - Chapter 206

Shen Yu asked this sentence because he suddenly thought of another function of “Scarlet Dream”: being deliberately used to create an epidemic.

In the previous life, Shen Yu personally experienced this purgatory scene. Since someone in the previous life would use “Scarlet Dream” to create an epidemic, what about this life? Gu Huai has been looking for clues about “Scarlet Dream”, did he also know something?

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Shen Yu knew that if he wanted to confirm this, it would be the quickest way to ask Gu Huai directly.

Shen Yu: “Your Majesty, can you let Gu Huai enter the palace?”

Shang Junlin: “Did Ayu know something?”

Shen Yu: “The defeat of the Lin family’s army is too strange, and Gu Huai is also investigating the matter of ‘Fei Meng’, does your Majesty remember what I said about ‘Fei Meng’ before, there is a new medicine made from a mixture of certain medicines , can make people show the characteristics of contracting the disease, I suspect that the defeat of the Lin family is inseparable from the ‘fighting dream’.”

Gu Huai’s true identity has not been released to the public for the time being, because of the Lin family’s affairs, he has become the person most concerned by the ministers of the DPRK and China during this time.

All kinds of greetings kept coming, and they wanted to make friends with him. Many aristocratic families took a fancy to his identity and appearance, and wanted to betrothed their girls to him.

The latter have always been rejected.

“Doesn’t Xiao Huai want to marry a well-educated woman back?” Imperial Physician Gu asked as he put the published medical books back.

“Brother wants me to marry?” Gu Huai made a move on his hand.

“When you grow up, naturally you should have your own home.”

Gu Huai clenched the hand that held the scroll, and was about to say something when there was a knock on the door.

Someone from the palace.

Gu Huai went out for a while, and came back after a while, saying, “Brother, I’ll go into the palace.”

The emperor called, he could only go.

Gu Huai was taken all the way to the imperial study by the little eunuch.

“I see your Majesty, Your Majesty.” Seeing the two of them, Gu Huai saluted.

“Don’t be too polite, come and watch.”

The **** who was serving brought a chair, and Gu Huai sat down with his robe up.

“To announce you into the palace today, I want to ask you something about the Lin family. To be precise, I want to ask you about the Lin family army.” Shen Yu put down the teacup and said.

Gu Huai was accustomed to the way Shen Yu and Shang Junlin got along: “I don’t know what your lord wants to know?”

“I want to know, was there another secret behind the defeat of the Lin family’s army? Is this secret related to ‘Red Dream’?”

“Your Majesty is very careful, this matter is indeed hidden. In the early years, the minister rescued a man who used to work in the Lin family army. He told the minister that the Lin family army was in a very bad state before the expedition, as if he had some emergency. It’s just that no one has reported such a big thing, or it’s been pressed by others.” Since it was guessed, Gu Huai no longer concealed it.

“Why didn’t you say these things to the same party?” Shang Junlin frowned.

“Because there is no conclusive evidence in the hands of the minister, the cook died not long after he was rescued. Apart from this person, the minister can no longer find any witnesses related to the incident at that time.”

Gu Huai knew that Mr. Fang was a good official who enforced the law impartially. All the evidence he had in his hand had been explained to Mr. Fang, and the rest were not completely certain.

“I have been investigating secretly for so many years, but I have not been able to find out who did this. All the clues are broken. I thought, it is better to continue to investigate secretly instead of telling the truth.”

“If you proposed to overturn the case for the Lin family, it was already a shock. If the people who did these things were still alive, they would definitely be vigilant and even take action. If you don’t say anything, you will only make your situation even more dangerous. “

“I know.”

“You want to use yourself as bait to catch the person who did something to the Lin family? But have you ever thought that that person might no longer be there?” Shen Yu’s voice was slightly deep.

From the accident of the Lin family to the present, there have been too many things in the middle. Just when Shang Junlin ascended the throne, many people in the court were executed.

“It’s the minister who didn’t consider it carefully.”

“Now, don’t you want to tell the truth? You already have suspicions in your heart, don’t you?” Shen Yu propped his chin up, as if he didn’t know that his own words struck Gu Huai’s heart with a big thunder.

“I do have people who have doubts, but I can’t say that I don’t have any evidence in my hands. Even if your lord is willing to believe your words, you can’t implicate your lord because of this matter. I hope your majesty and your lord can give me some time. The minister will surely find evidence.”

Speaking of which, Shen Yu couldn’t force Gu Huai to say anything.

“Your Majesty thinks, who is the one who did this?” After Gu Huai left, Shen Yu half leaned on Shang Junlin and asked.

“Will it be the first emperor?”

“It shouldn’t be. If he wants to kill, he can choose any reason to kill. There is no need to do this.”

The Lin family case involved a lot of people, and they were ordered by Shang Junlin. How should these people be handled? Fortunately, after Shang Junlin ascended the throne, the change of blood among the officials of the court did not affect the officials who were serving.

The aristocratic family was too tired to deal with this matter, and could not take care of what happened among the people. Taking this opportunity, under the instigation of Shen Yu and Shang Junlin, movable type printing was further promoted.

Not only the capital, but other bookstores also learned this method.

When the aristocratic family reacted, they could no longer easily intervene in this matter.

At this point, how could they not notice that Shang Junlin had been involved in this matter from beginning to end.

“Your Majesty is really good at making plans. He used the Lin family’s affairs to divert our attention and caught us by surprise.” The officials who were close friends from the family gathered together to discuss this matter.

“Should we just let it go? If things go on like this, what advantages will the family have in the future?”

“Otherwise? What can we do? What are we doing openly against him? Not to mention the court that is now controlled by him, just a few years ago, how many people who fought against him would have a good end?”

“What Your Majesty wants to do will never stop here. Let’s see, the next thing will only make the family even more unacceptable.”

With the deepening of the Lin family’s case, more and more inside information has been uncovered, and those former officials who have suffered grievances have been able to overturn the case. Every day, there will be new developments on the matter in the people’s newspapers.

After negotiation, the imperial court will give these people some compensation. Although the damage caused is irreversible, it can make up for a little.

After waking up from a nap, Mu Xi brought Shen Yu’s snacks: “Young Master, the news of ‘Yinghuo’ is back.”

“Huh?” Shen Yu wasn’t fully awake yet, his voice was nasal.

“It came from Bei Mo.” Mu Xi put the snack on the table aside, took out a secret letter, and handed it to Shen Yu.

When Jiang Huaiqing went to Beimo alone, Shen Yu sent people from “Yinghuo” to follow him. After several months, “Yinghuo” came back with news.

Shen Yu unfolded the secret letter and read it one by one.

The letter wrote about “Yinghuo”‘s arrangement in Beimo and the news it had heard, as well as Jiang Huaiqing’s progress.

After arriving in Beimo, Jiang Huaiqing came into contact with a minister according to Da Huan’s people who stayed in Beimo, and after receiving his appreciation, he was recommended to the third prince who had the power to compete for the throne.

After becoming the staff of the third prince, Jiang Huaiqing successfully helped the third prince to win the power seizure with the second prince, and severely suppressed the second prince. The prince accomplished several difficult things and completely became the confidant of the third prince.

By the time the secret letter was sent, Jiang Huaiqing had already had a place beside the third prince, and the third prince valued it very much, and the third prince would also value the opinions raised.

Shen Yu got the news, and Shang Junlin also got the news. Yin Longwei pretended to be a servant and followed Jiang Huaiqing to protect him and get the most accurate news.

“Did Ayu know from the beginning that Jiang Huaiqing was up to the task?”

“Jiang Huaiqing is a flexible and informal person. When he proposed this plan, he was the first person I thought of.” Shen Yu did not deny this.

“When he returns from Beimo, he can stay in the capital directly.”

Shen Yu sat on the swing, and Shang Junlin pushed the swing for him behind his back. In the whole world, there was only one Shen Yu who could be treated like this by the emperor.

When the prime minister came, he happened to see this scene.

Eunuch Meng rushed forward to report: “Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is here.”

“Your Majesty, go get busy.” Shen Yu turned his head and said to the people behind him.

“Ayu will go with me.” Shang Junlin wrapped his arms around the gloomy waist and picked him up.

Shen Yu couldn’t, so he had to go with Shang Junlin.

The prime minister was announced to the palace by Shang Jun Lin, and he was talking about Jiang Huaiqing’s affairs in Beimo. Now Jiang Huaiqing has won the trust of the third prince of Beimo, and the situation is better than they thought. The first step has been played. Take the second step.

The prime minister is the palace for the next arrangement.

“What Huaiqing did is really beyond the minister’s expectations.” The prime minister was used to being depressed when Shang Junlin discussed matters, and his expression did not change.

If possible, he would prefer Shen Yu to become an official rather than appearing occasionally. For example, this time, the plan was first proposed by Shen Yu, and the candidates were also proposed by Shen Yu. They could send others to go, but the effect would definitely not be good. There will be now so good.

“The next step is to find a way to make the civil strife in Beimo take longer. The third prince alone will definitely not be able to do it. When the third prince is strong, we can send Subei to take action.” The prime minister said.

“Yes, only by being evenly matched and not letting one side become bigger can we delay the time as much as possible.”

The prime minister deliberately brought the topic to Shen Yu, but Shen Yu said a lot of his thoughts as a last resort.

“We can’t let Bei Mo feel that we are intervening in a short period of time. Otherwise, under the action of external forces, they will be twisted into a single rope and unanimously communicate with each other. We must grasp the timing and scale when doing this.”

After some conversation, the Prime Minister left contentedly, leaned back in his chair, and sighed: “This matter can be resolved obviously by Your Majesty and the Prime Minister, why does the Prime Minister insist on asking me to say something?”

“The prime minister has always been talented. With Ayu’s talent, if he enters the imperial court, he will definitely be used by the prime minister.” Shang Junlin knew what the prime minister thought, after all, the prime minister had praised Shen Yu’s talent in front of him more than once.

“Your Majesty is really unique. If other ministers were to point at me and scold me, the harem would not be allowed to do politics.” Shen Yu chuckled.

“There is no such thing here,” Shang Junlin stretched out his hand, “Ayu, come here, didn’t you ask Yinlongwei to investigate Zhuli before, but Yinlongwei found something recently.”

Shen Yu walked over and was pulled by the man’s arm into his arms.
