The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits - Chapter 223
When Shen Yu and Shang Junlin arrived, the fire had already been put out, because it was discovered in time and no major disaster was caused.
The palace servants moved out all the flowers, and Shen Yu felt very uncomfortable seeing the pots of flowers that had been alive and wilted.
“what is going on?”
“A palace servant accidentally knocked down the candlestick.” The palace servant replied cautiously.
“Meng Chang, check!”
“Slave obeys!”
Ji Wuwang came over when he got the news, his face was ugly.
The flower house is independent from the Yuzhang Palace, and the fire was stopped in time, and the damage was not too big. The palace staff moved the flower to another place. .
“After you said that the flower was what you were looking for, Your Majesty and I kept an eye on it. We didn’t expect that someone would really want to do something with it.” After taking a seat, Shen Yu spoke first.
After serving tea for them, the palace servants withdrew quietly. Eunuch Meng was instructed by Shang Junlin to check the water in the flower room, leaving no palace servants to serve.
“This flower disappeared with the former owner. You said, 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 completely believe this statement, and 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 with it in the palace?
“What is the function of this flower?” Shang Junlin is more concerned about this point than others. “I ordered the flower gardener and the imperial doctor to see it. This flower is not poisonous and harmless to the human body.”
If there is, the flower is not here, but has been destroyed long ago.
“This flower is a holy 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 ‘precepts’, this flower is essential.”
“It is a sacred relic of the Ji family, named ‘Yuelian’, it needs to be cultivated with the blood of people who have received ‘Jiyin’, the maturity period is twenty years, but when will it bloom and bear fruit, it depends on the situation,’ The moon lotus can dissolve all the poisons in the world and prolong life…”
Ji Wuwang briefly introduced the habits of the “Moon Lotus”, and Shen Yu only knew what the name of this magical flower was.
“With it, do you need to go to the Ji clan’s land to remove the ‘jieyin’ on Ayu’s body?” After listening to Shang Junlin, he was silent for a while.
“‘Jie Yin’ is different from ordinary poison.” When it came to going to the Ji clan’s land, Ji Wuhuang never let go.
“There is a woman who looks very much like me in the palace, and 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 Yueshou who made them vigilant. the letter that arrived.
“Whether it’s the Ji family, just verify it.”
Shen Yue has always felt very uneasy these days. She found the letter under her pillow. Later, she asked people around her if anyone had entered her room, and the answer was no one.
After handing in the letter, she kept thinking that something was going to happen, and just after finishing packing up and planning to go back to her room, she saw the palace staff of Yuzhang Palace.
She was taken to the Yuzhang Palace. In addition to Shen Yu and Shang Junlin, she also saw a man in white with white sash covering his eyes. What surprised her was that this man’s appearance was too similar to Shen Yu.
“Wuying, give her something.”
Shen Yue took the thing, it was a small square made of a material like jade, with a groove in the middle and some complicated patterns around it.
“This is?” Shen Yue looked blank.
“A drop of your blood in there.”
The maid on the side handed over the dagger, Shen Yue looked at Shen Yu, saw him nodding at her, gritted her teeth, picked up the dagger, and made a slit in her finger.
The blood drops came 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.” Shen Yu said.
The palace servant led Shen Yue away.
“There is no blood relationship, why are they so similar?” Shen Yu always wondered if there was any blood relationship between Shen Yue and him.
“Maybe someone deliberately chose her and sent her to you.”
“This thing can detect the blood of the Ji family?” Shang Junlin looked at the small square on the table and was a little curious.
“Yes, it will react to the blood of the Ji family. If it wasn’t for the Ji family, it would not react.”
After wrapping up, Shen Yue was sent back, and after asking the palace servant who was with her, Shen Yue knew that the flower house had gone out of water today. Thinking of the letter that suddenly appeared under the pillow, she wondered if there was a relationship between the two. What is the connection.
“Why did you suddenly get out of the water?” Shen Yue suppressed all the thoughts in her heart, pretended to be curious, and asked.
“Eunuch Meng and the others are investigating. They said that someone from the palace accidentally knocked down the candlestick. The flowers that were placed there were your favorite flowers, and they were too careless.” Speaking of the back, the palace servant’s tone brought a complaint. .
Those who serve in the Yuzhang Palace do not feel sorry for the depression. The longer they stay in the palace, the more they know how rare such a master is. The flower room was specially built by your majesty for your lord, and your lord is interested in the flowers inside. Pay more attention to everyone’s eyes. You must have suffered a lot from the disaster this time.
Shen Yu was indeed a little uncomfortable, these flowers were found for him by Shang Junlin, but now he has been blamed for nothing because of the selfishness of others.
“I don’t want to let go of this incident.” Shen Yu raised his eyes and met Shang Junlin’s eyes.
“Even if Ayu doesn’t say it, I won’t just let it go.” As long as you think about it, the real goal of the person behind is “Yuelian”, and “Yuelian” is the necessary thing for Shen Yu to lift the “precept” , Shang Junlin couldn’t suppress the tyranny in his heart.
Anyone who tries to hurt Depression should be damned!
Eunuch Meng knew that Shang Junlin cared about this matter, and quickly found the person who overturned the candlestick. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, this person would not end well.
Anyone who might have done it was arrested, interrogated by the prudential punishment department, and Eunuch Meng personally took care of it, and no one dared to be sloppy.
After the interrogation results came out, Eunuch Meng personally reported to Shang Junlin.
“The candlestick was indeed knocked over by accident, but the candlestick was touched in advance, and no matter who it was, it was possible to knock it over. The one who touched the candlestick was a little **** named Dongzi. One day, drowned.”
“Drowning?” Shang Junlin’s tone was filled with a chill, “Continue to check, the people he had contact with before his death, check them one by one, I want to know who he was instructed to do this.”
“Slave obeys the order.”
“It’s interesting to find a dead person.” Shen Yu sneered after hearing Shang Junlin’s results.
“Ayu doesn’t have to worry about this, I will definitely give Ayu 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 put out 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 given by Shang Junlin, and he didn’t want to lose them because of this fire.
“I know you care, and the palace servants have already given treatment. The few affected plants are no longer a big problem. If the situation is more serious, we need to look at it again. If it doesn’t work, I will send Ayuxin.”
“I want to see those burned flowers…”
“I’ll go with you.”
The flower house was still being cleaned up, and the flowers were placed in another palace. Seeing that Shen Yu and Shang Junlin came together, the palace staff hurriedly saluted.
“Don’t be too polite.”
The palace servant 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 could 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, and when he saw the two of them coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward: “Your Majesty, I have found it.”
“The little **** suddenly had a sum of money in his hand before the accident. He dragged someone to take the money out of the palace and gave it to his parents outside the palace. The slave has already arranged for someone to find it.”
Find the source of the money, and you can find the person who ordered 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 and concubines of the first emperor in the Yuzhang Palace. Later, these people were taken away by Shang Junlin. They could not keep people locked up, so they released those who didn’t know much about the inside story, and kept them in private. In the palace where they used to live.
Apart from not letting them run around, there are not too many restrictions.
“I thought that these people were abandoned sons. I didn’t expect that there would be a day when they would be reactivated.”
When they released people, they were 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 what they had done and dealt with them.
“Your Majesty has cleaned up the harem several times. What they want to do in the palace is limited. The only options are those of the emperor’s concubines who were grounded by His Majesty.”
“The first emperor will really make trouble for me.” Shang Jun sneered coldly.
Shen Yu thought about it, 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 trying to make trouble for Shang Junlin.
“The last time King Huaiyu was involved, but now that King Huaiyu is dead, who would do such a thing?”
Somewhere, there seems to be a thread that connects everything together.
Shang Junlin’s eyes narrowed slightly: “There are not many people in Dahuan who have the ability to do this.”
“There is also something that General Gu has been investigating. Maybe the two are the same forces.” Shen Yu guessed.
“When Gu Huai is shocked, I will let him investigate together.”
“I just don’t know what that person wants to do. Your Majesty sent someone to find the other half of what Taifu Zeng 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 200,000 horses and the batch of battle armor have not yet fallen.” Shang Junlin is not in a hurry about this matter. Dahuan’s army was sufficient, and the other half of the army left by the late emperor could not pose too 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 the man behind him is trying to do.” Shen Yu always felt that the man had done so many things, and it was impossible for him to have no plans at all, which was not in line with common sense.
No matter what the identity of that person is, as long as he moves, they will have the opportunity to grab his tail, fearing that the other party is lurking in the dark and doing nothing.
“Ayu wants me to use my body as bait?”
“No, it is to put an empty bait for the opponent to bite.”
