It was not the first time that Mu Xi was interrupted by the Emperor when he was talking to Shen Yu. Compared to his initial fear, he was now much calmer.
Eunuch Meng, who came in behind Shang Junlin, ordered the palace servants to put down the booklets and took the lead to retreat. The palace servants also retreated one by one.
In the blink of an eye, only Shen Yu and Shang Junlin were left in the room.
Shen Yu looked at the empty room and walked to Shang Junlin. He raised his head and asked, "Will Your Majesty tell me?"
Shang Junlin looked at him calmly, "If Your Majesty asks, I will tell you."
"Does Your Majesty really know?" Shen Yu was stunned. He thought that Shang Junlin said it deliberately. Imperial Physician Gu was just an imperial physician. If he was not involved in Censor Zhang's case, Shang Junlin should not have spent so much effort to investigate him.
Or was Imperial Physician Gu also involved in this matter in this life, but for some reason, he did not cause the same tragic consequences as in his previous life?
The doubt in Shen Yu's eyes was too obvious. Shang Junlin frowned, "What is Your Majesty thinking?"
"I'm wondering why Your Majesty pays special attention to Imperial Physician Gu …" Shen Yu blurted out. After he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong and quickly remedied, "No, I'm just curious why Your Majesty knows so much about Imperial Physician Gu …"
Shen Yu's voice became fainter and fainter.
Shang Junlin was so angry that he laughed. The inexplicable feeling in his heart just now was swept away, "Then why does Your Majesty think that I pay 'special attention' to Imperial Physician Gu?"
Shang Junlin emphasized the word "special".
"No matter what reason Your Majesty pays special attention to Imperial Physician Gu, if it's because of some other reason, Your Majesty should not think about it." Shen Yu looked at Shang Junlin's eyes with a burning gaze.
What other reason could there be? Shang Junlin was about to ask, but he heard Shen Yu's next words.
"Your Majesty promised me that no new people will enter the harem."
Shang Junlin asked incredulously, "Why do you think I have such thoughts?"
"Otherwise, why would Your Majesty pay attention to Imperial Physician Gu?" Shen Yu calmly threw the question back.
"What else could it be? Of course, it's because of you …" Shang Junlin suddenly reacted. He stroked Shen Yu's neck and squeezed it with a sense of oppression. "Shen Guijun, you're quite bold. You're trying to trick me?"
Shen Yu didn't dodge. He lowered his eyes slightly and said, "I'm just a little worried. After all, I only have Your Majesty in this world."
"Shen Yu," Shang Junlin caressed the skin on Shen Yu's neck. Suddenly, he forcefully pinched Shen Yu's chin, forcing him to raise his head, "Don't play any tricks in front of me."
"Why would Your Majesty think so?" Shen Yu suddenly smiled. His eyes seemed to be full of light. "I'm Your Majesty's man now. Isn't it normal to be worried that Your Majesty has another woman?"
"Your Majesty," Shen Yu covered the man's hand, "Your Majesty's words are like gold. I'll take your words seriously."
Shang Junlin's heart jumped. He let go of his hand as if he was scalded. He slightly averted his gaze, "Of course, my words are like gold."
Shen Yu knew when to stop. He took back his hand and returned to his usual gentle appearance, "Your Majesty, can you tell me about Imperial Physician Gu? After all, after Imperial Physician Gu's treatment, my body is indeed much better than before. "
The following words were an explanation of why he cared about Imperial Physician Gu.
"I found that someone from that side had looked for Imperial Physician Gu. That's why I sent people to investigate." Shang Junlin looked deeply at Shen Yu, "I'm curious. Why is Your Majesty so sure that Imperial Physician Gu would be involved in Censor Zhang's case?"
No matter how good Imperial Physician Gu's medical skills were, he was just an imperial physician without much power. Those who were involved in Censor Zhang's case were basically court officials. Logically, it shouldn't have much to do with an imperial physician. Why did Shen Yu think that Imperial Physician Gu would be involved in this matter?
This was what Shang Junlin couldn't figure out the most.
Shen Yu didn't seem to feel Shang Junlin's probing. He leaned closer to Shang Junlin, "Your Majesty, I'm a little cold."
The man's body was very warm, like a big heater that could provide endless heat. This was also the reason why Shen Yu tacitly allowed Shang Junlin to stay in his bedroom.
Shang Junlin looked around and found that the window had been blown open at some point. He used his internal strength to close the window and wrapped himself in a fox fur cloak.
"Are you feeling better?"
Shen Yu hugged the cloak and nodded.
His body was weak, and Imperial Physician Gu also said that it was best not to let him catch a cold. Ordinary people could recover from a cold in a few days, but if Shen Yu caught a cold, it might take his life. Shang Junlin had seen him get sick once. He didn't know if it was because he was frightened or something else, but he specially ordered that the place where he stayed must be warm.
Shen Yu was a person who would never treat himself unfairly. The living conditions in Yuzhang Palace were much more comfortable than other palaces. Sometimes, Shen Yu even suspected that Shang Junlin worked and rested here because it was more comfortable to live here.
Shang Junlin saw that Shen Yu's face was pale, so he poured a cup of hot tea for him, "In this world, only Shen Guijun can be served by me."
"Your Majesty is so nice." Shen Yu took a few sips and felt his body temperature rise. His eyebrows relaxed.
"Your Majesty hasn't told me about Imperial Physician Gu." Shen Yu held the cup and looked at the man.
Shang Junlin didn't expect that Shen Yu was still thinking about Imperial Physician Gu when he was not feeling well. He didn't care about other things and helplessly told him about it.
"He is a chess piece that the Zhang family buried in the palace many years ago. They wanted to use Imperial Physician Gu to spread the news outside the palace. If you didn't arrogantly ask Imperial Physician Gu to only treat you, Imperial Physician Gu would have fallen into the trap that was specially made for him the day after you said those words."
Shang Junlin looked at Shen Yu meaningfully, "Imperial Physician Gu's medical skills are paramount. If you didn't say it, he would definitely help others if they came to him. After you said it, he really declined the invitation to treat them. He listened to you."
"Isn't this borrowing His Majesty's power? If it weren't for His Majesty's favor to me, Imperial Physician Gu wouldn't listen to me. " Shen Yu knew better than anyone that if his identity wasn't Shen Guijun, and if he didn't give a suitable reason, Imperial Physician Gu wouldn't listen to him.
"You can say anything." Shang Junlin shook his head, "This is good. With this favor, Imperial Physician Gu will only pay more attention to your illness."
"After I met Your Majesty, everything became better. Your Majesty is my lucky star."
"According to what you said, you are my lucky star. If it weren't for you, Imperial Physician Zhang's case wouldn't have progressed so smoothly."
After Imperial Physician Zhang's crimes were announced, the forces that opposed Shang Junlin in court were extinguished. When the fifteen day deadline was up, Official Fang had just finished the trial of Imperial Physician Zhang's case.
The officials involved were all imprisoned one by one and sentenced according to the severity of their crimes. As the mastermind, the Zhang family was sentenced to nine generations of extermination, and Imperial Physician Zhang himself was killed.
There were many other officials who were convicted. Shang Junlin acted quickly and used this case to uproot Imperial Physician Zhang's influence in court.
The pawn that the Zhang family left in the palace was a concubine of the previous emperor. She was young, had no children, and had no connection to the Zhang family. She had always kept a low profile. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to escape from the purge when Shang Junlin ascended the throne.
After Shang Junlin ascended the throne, he allowed the concubines of the previous emperor to leave. Those who didn't want to leave lived in a remote palace. Most of these people didn't have prominent backgrounds, so they didn't have a good place to go. At least they didn't have to worry about food and drink in the palace.
"Is Beauty Xu really a member of the Zhang family?" Shen Yu felt that it wasn't so simple.
Shang Junlin frowned, "She is too cautious. We only found that she had some connections with the Zhang family, but we couldn't find out who she was working for."
Shen Yu was puzzled, "His Majesty didn't ask anyone to interrogate her?"
"She ate and lived with those people. If she disappeared for no reason, it would definitely arouse the vigilance of the people behind the scenes," Shang Junlin explained.
Shen Yu, "Does Your Majesty usually see those people?"
Shang Junlin, "Occasionally, but I didn't put them under house arrest."
Shen Yu, "Other than the palace where they live, where else would they usually appear?"
Shang Junlin, "Why are you asking this?"
Shen Yu supported his chin and said, "Your Majesty, if I say that I have a way for you to take them away for interrogation without arousing suspicion, but I just need Your Majesty to cooperate, will Your Majesty cooperate?"
Noticing Shang Junlin's puzzled gaze, Shen Yu leaned over to the man's ear and whispered a few words.
Qin Garden was a place where the previous emperor liked to bring his concubines to play. After Shang Junlin ascended the throne, the harem was abandoned. Except for the previous emperor's concubines, very few people would come here.
Not all those who stayed in the palace were resigned to their fate. There were a few beauties who were brought in by the previous emperor during the latter part of his reign. They wanted to rely on their beauty to fight for themselves.
However, the new emperor was completely different from the previous emperor. He was a master who didn't get close to beauties. After a few bold ones were executed, the rest of them temporarily settled down. It wasn't until Shen Yu entered the palace that a few ambitious ones became restless.
After dressing up, they went to Qin Garden together. This was the only place where they could meet the emperor by chance without being conspicuous.
Today's weather was good and the sun was shining brightly. Shen Yu had been bored in the palace for a long time and wanted to go out for a walk. Shang Junlin had finished his official business and accompanied him.
"Today's weather is warm. Your Majesty, let's go to a few places that I haven't been to before."
Seeing Shang Junlin nodding his head, Shen Yu turned his head and asked, "Eunuch Meng, is there any place in the palace with good scenery?"
Eunuch Meng had been in the palace for a long time and was very familiar with the palace. He introduced one by one to Shen Yu, "If you want to talk about beautiful scenery, Fang Garden is very good. However, the flowers planted there only bloom in summer. In winter, Qin Garden's scenery is the most beautiful …"
After listening to Eunuch Meng's introduction, Shen Yu chose to go to Qin Garden.
Shen Yu and Shang Junlin whispered to each other. Eunuch Meng and his men followed them from a distance to avoid disturbing the two masters.
"Your Majesty …"
Before Shen Yu could finish his words, a person suddenly bumped into him from the corner. Shang Junlin didn't have time to think. He grabbed Shen Yu's arm and pulled her into his arms. That person just happened to bump into Shang Junlin.
The woman's eyes were covered with a white cloth. She grabbed Shang Junlin's clothes with one hand and pulled the white cloth off her face with the other. She said in a clear voice, "I caught you …"
The rest of her words were swallowed when she saw the scene in front of her. The woman quickly let go and knelt down, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't know it was Your Majesty. I didn't mean to offend you …"
She used the opportunity of playing hide and seek to bump into the Emperor. There were too few opportunities to interact with the Emperor. She didn't want to let go of any opportunity. Whether it was for herself or for that person's request, she had to get along with Shang Junlin!
After a long time, the woman didn't hear any sound. She carefully raised her head and saw that the Emperor didn't even look at her. He was gently tidying up Shen Yu's hair. When she looked at Shen Yu again, he was smiling and didn't seem angry.
She immediately felt relieved.
However, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she saw the smiling Shen Guijun walk in front of her.
"Uh …" Shen Yu seemed to be in a difficult position, "It was this hand that touched Your Majesty. I don't like it when others touch my things. How about this, if you touched it, you can leave it there. How about that?"
