Shang Junlin held Shen Yu's hand and walked over. Hearing this, he couldn't help but look at Shen Yu.
Before Fang Daren sent the young man back to the capital, he wrote down the young man's background in the memorial. If there was no accident, the young man had never come to the capital. As far as he knew, Shen Yu had never been to Subei, so the two shouldn't have crossed paths.
Understanding this point, Shang Junlin looked at the young man with scrutinizing eyes.
Shen Yu carefully looked at the young man's appearance. The young man's half-length black hair was casually tied behind his head. His appearance was handsome with a hint of immaturity, and the color of his eyes was light. If he really had contact with the young man, it was impossible for him not to have any impression of him.
"Are you sure the person you saw was me?" Shen Yu asked.
Shang Junlin held Shen Yu's hand tightly.
The young man thought for a while and nodded. Then, under the gaze of Shen Yu, who was looking at a stranger, he shook his head slightly: "I don't know."
Shen Yu pulled Shang Junlin to the stone table and sat down: "What's going on?"
"When I was young, I saw a person who looked like Guijun." The youth finally reacted. The first time he saw that person was many years ago. That person's appearance had given him a great shock when he was young. So much so that when he saw Shen Yu, who looked almost the same as that person, he couldn't help but ask this question.
Shen Yu and Shang Junlin looked at each other. They didn't expect to hear such a sentence from the young man's mouth.
"Do you still remember what happened at that time?" Shen Yu asked.
"I don't really remember. I only remember that Subei was very chaotic and there were wars everywhere. I accidentally fell into the trap of the Northern Desert people and was rescued by a very good-looking person."
Many years had passed, and he was still young at that time. The young man could only remember the beautiful face of that person under the moonlight and the cold temperature when that person held him.
That was the first time he was held in someone's arms since he could remember. It was also the only time. It was a secret hidden in the deepest part of his memory that he would never say.
After the young man finished speaking, he glanced at Shen Yu and added, "Just as good-looking as Guijun."
Before coming to the capital, Lord Fang had told the young man many things about the capital and told him to follow the rules and be obedient. The young man trusted Lord Fang very much and agreed to everything.
On the way to the capital, Lord Fang had entrusted him with many things about the capital, such as the Emperor, the nobles, and so on.
That person had told him that the Emperor was as bright as the moon and could be recognized at a glance. At first, he didn't believe it, but when he saw the real person, he suddenly realized that the person wasn't exaggerating.
Seeing the young man staring at Shen Yu, Shang Junlin's eyes flashed with displeasure.
It was another person who looked like her. Together with Shen Yue, this was the second one. Shen Yu lowered his eyes and pondered. In his previous life, he had lived for more than ten years, but he had never encountered such a situation. Was it a coincidence? Or did his rebirth change something?
Shen Yu was more inclined to the latter.
Shang Junlin knocked on the table: "Tell me what you know."
Although he was displeased, this matter was very likely related to Shen Yu's past. Shang Junlin couldn't just ignore a little displeasure in his heart.
"That's all I remember. That person saved me, put me in a safe place and left. Later, I searched many places, but I couldn't find any trace of this person. Later, I secretly asked people to inquire, but they all said that they had never seen such a person. "
Suddenly appearing and disappearing without a trace, Shen Yu thought of his mother. Could the person the young man met be related to his mother?
After confirming that the young man really didn't know any more information, Shen Yu gave up asking. Shang Junlin didn't want the young man to keep focusing on Shen Yu, so he took the initiative to ask about Subei.
The young man followed Fang Daren, so he was very clear about what happened to Fang Daren during this period. Before coming, Fang Daren also told him that Her Majesty would ask him some questions. He didn't want him to hide anything and answer truthfully. The young man remembered Fang Daren's instructions. When he heard Shang Junlin's question, he pulled back his thoughts and talked about what happened in Subei.
The young man was clearly prepared in advance. His answers were clear and organized, without any superfluous words.
Through the young man's words, Shen Yu and Shang Junlin had a better understanding of what happened to Fang Daren in Subei.
With a steady flow of supplies, the situation in Subei improved greatly. This time, the military escorts were sent all the way, and the Subei army was also there to provide support. There were no more incidents of bandits along the way.
The group of Hidden Dragon Guards that Gu Huai had brought with him was focused on investigating the internal problems in Subei. Other than saving Fang Daren, they hadn't shown their faces again.
No one knew that they had already infiltrated the upper echelons of Subei and were collecting evidence. They were only one step away from delivering a fatal blow.
Those upper echelons of Subei were still dreaming of pocketing the disaster relief supplies that were being sent to Subei from various places.
"The Imperial Court is really something. They actually skipped the main city and sent all these things to the surrounding small cities. They're just a bunch of foolish people. What's there to save?"
"You can say these words in front of us, but you can't say them in front of those officials from the capital."
"I still know my limits. Come, let's continue drinking."
The people drinking and making merry still didn't know that the scythe of the Grim Reaper was already hanging over their heads.
"Those refugees are also incompetent. We let them take advantage of the chaos to kill Fang Jun, but the result is great. They didn't manage to kill him and were even captured."
"Daren, those people won't sell us out, right?"
"Do you think that I'm so stupid that I would leave evidence behind? No matter how Fang Jun interrogated those people, they would only get one result. "
They didn't know that Daren Fang only locked them up and didn't spend any effort to interrogate them. He already knew the result, so why bother?
Shen Yu and Shang Junlin obtained more details about the assassination from the young man.
"They pretended to be refugees and acted. They had a good plan. If their plan succeeded, they would be able to provoke the conflict between the officials sent by the Imperial Court and the local people. At the same time, they would be able to clear their names. It's killing two birds with one stone." Shang Junlin tightened his grip on the cup in his hand.
Shen Yu rescued the innocent cup from Shang Junlin's hand. "Your Majesty, there's no need to be angry over these people who will be dealt with sooner or later. Daren Fang has already successfully handed over the task to the Hidden Dragon Guards. After a few more days, those people won't be able to laugh even if they want to."
Shang Junlin held Shen Yu's wrist and pulled her into his arms. "If everyone can be like A Yu, I won't be so troubled."
"Your Majesty, don't think about these unrealistic things. Even if it's me, I won't be able to maintain my original self even after being in the Imperial Court for a few years."
It was easy to say that power blinded people. Maintaining one's original self was easy, but since ancient times, how many people could actually do it?
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Is Yan Zheng going to bring people to the North soon?" Shang Junlin held a strand of Shen Yu's hair and twirled it in his hand.
The last time they went out of the palace, other than meeting the young man, they also met Yan Zheng. Coincidentally, there were a lot of supplies that needed to be transported to Subei from the capital. There were also military escorts for the entire journey. Yan Zheng wanted to take this opportunity to test the waters.
He chose the Northern Desert as his first destination.
In the private room, Yan Zheng expressed his thoughts. "The relationship between the Northern Desert and our Great Huan Kingdom has been stable these years. I also have caravans going there. If we go to the Northern Desert at this time, we can not only borrow the military escort, but also go to the Northern Desert to scout for information."
Shen Yu was taken aback by his bold idea. "Choosing such a time of crisis to go over …"
"I know, it's very dangerous, but at the same time, it will also be accompanied by great opportunities." Yan Zheng poured a cup of tea for himself and slowly drank it. "As a businessman, we must not forget the words' seize the opportunity '. I believe that the things in my hands can bring me a lot of wealth."
Yan Zheng never hid his ambition. In front of Shen Yu and Shang Junlin, he didn't have to deliberately hide anything. Many times, being frank and open made people appreciate him more.
"It's good that you've decided. I'll prepare the things you need. When you arrive at the Northern Desert, be careful."
Yan Zheng didn't expect Shen Yu to say words of concern. He was stunned for a moment and then said, "Even if it's for our long-term cooperation, I'll come back safely."
Shang Junlin sat next to Shen Yu. At that time, he didn't have any reaction to this conversation. But after returning to the palace that night, he fiercely bullied Shen Yu.
Now, there were still traces of him on Shen Yu's body.
Shen Yu didn't expect Shang Junlin to suddenly mention this matter. He raised his eyebrows. "Your Majesty, you're not jealous this time?"
Shang Junlin changed to rubbing the skin on Shen Yu's neck. There were still traces of him there. Not only on the neck, but also on other parts of the body that were covered.
Shang Junlin's eyes darkened when he thought of that night when the young man's skin was dyed red little by little.
"A Yu, tell me, why am I jealous?"
The man's voice was low and hoarse. When it entered Shen Yu's ears, it was as if he had returned to that night.
The man also used the same voice and asked Shen Yu over and over again. If Shen Yu didn't answer, or if his answer didn't satisfy the man, he would be bullied even more severely.
Shen Yu couldn't remember how many things he shouldn't have said under Shang Junlin's coaxing that night. Anyway, when he woke up the next day, there wasn't a single spot on his body that was unharmed.
Shen Yu faintly felt a little hot when his memory was awakened.
"It's indeed in these two days." Shen Yu forced himself to clear those memories from his mind. "His caravan will depart with the second batch of disaster relief supplies."
Time passed in the blink of an eye. Yan Zheng followed the large group out of the city. During the rest time, he looked back at the capital and thought that abandoning those useless people to come to the capital was probably the most correct decision he had ever made.
In Yuzhang Palace.
Shen Yu's eyes were tightly closed. His long eyelashes fluttered uneasily, casting a shadow. Tears seeped out of the corners of his eyes, and the corners of his eyes were dyed with a layer of rouge, making him even more charming and moving.
The tall man in black held him tightly in his arms and kissed him hard.
Just like Shang Junlin himself, this kiss was rude and overbearing, with a strong sense of invasion. It was as if he was ruthless and wanted to tear the young man apart and eat him up.
Shen Yu could only be forced to accept it.
"A Yu, don't think about other people. I will be angry." Shang Junlin moved back a little, his lips still pressed against Shen Yu's.
"Your Majesty is unreasonable. You were the one who mentioned it first." Shen Yu opened his eyes. The mist in his eyes hadn't dissipated, and his eyes were glittering, making people sink into them at a glance.
Shen Yu didn't forget that this time, it was Shang Junlin who mentioned Yan Zheng first. Because of what happened that night, he wouldn't mention Yan Zheng in front of Shang Junlin these days.
Shang Junlin's kiss turned upwards, and finally kissed the pair of eyes that made him obsessed.
Shen Yu closed his eyes and enjoyed the warmth of this moment.
"This time, I misunderstood A Yu," Shang Junlin apologized in a low voice, but the words he said had a deeper meaning. "A Yu can be punished however he wants."
