"What is A Yu worried about?" Shang Junlin walked in from outside.
Eunuch Meng closed the umbrella and stood aside. He took a clean handkerchief from the palace servant and handed it to Shang Junlin.
It was raining heavily outside. Even with an umbrella, raindrops still fell on the man's body. Shang Junlin picked up the handkerchief and casually wiped himself before walking towards Shen Yu.
Seeing Shang Junlin, Shen Yu's brows relaxed and he greeted him, "I'm thinking about how long this rain will last."
It had started raining in the capital for the past two days. The pitter-patter had not stopped. Shen Yu was not only referring to the rain in the capital, but also the rain in Lin County.
It had been raining in Lin County for half a month and there was no sign of the rain stopping. The people in Lin County had been moved to a safe place, but their belongings were still there. It was impossible to leave them alone.
"Thanks to A Yu's flood control method, although the rain is heavy this time, it did not cause much damage. The dam is stable and there is not much danger for the time being."
Shang Junlin did not expect that Shen Yu would be so worried about this matter that he could not even sleep well at night. In fact, compared to the previous few times, the situation in Lin County was the least serious this time.
"Your Majesty, you must pay attention to the epidemic."
"I know. The imperial court has already sent imperial physicians over. With Imperial Physician Wu as the leading physician, almost all the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital who have made contributions in this area have gone." Shang Junlin touched the corner of Shen Yu's eyes, "A Yu is so worried. Is it because of the dream you had?"
"What …" Dream?
Thinking of the excuse that he had found for himself before, Shen Yu suddenly fell silent.
"A Yu, don't worry. No matter what you dreamed of, I will not let it happen. No matter how terrible it is, it is only a dream."
"Your Majesty is right. I was possessed." No matter what, it was something that happened in his previous life. He did not need to be so nervous because of what happened in his previous life.
So what if it really happened? This time, they had already taken precautions. They would not be as helpless as they were in his previous life.
Seeing that Shen Yu had recovered, Shang Junlin took his hand and led him to the soft couch to sit down. "Didn't A Yu say that the kitchen made new snacks a few days ago? I want to try it. "
"Mu Xi, go to the kitchen," Shen Yu said.
"Yes, young master."
It took a lot of effort to make this new snack. While waiting, Shang Junlin ordered Eunuch Meng to bring the chess pieces over.
"It's been a long time since I've played chess. A Yu, let's play a game."
Shen Yu had no objections.
This time, Shen Yu played a black stone.
On the chessboard, the black pieces surrounded the white pieces layer by layer. Every time a piece was placed, the white pieces became weaker.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to go easy on me." Shen Yu held a black stone and said helplessly.
When he first placed the stone, he made a few wrong moves. He should have lost, but Shang Junlin deliberately went easy on him and turned the situation around.
"Ah Yu, you can't think of anything else when you're playing chess with me." The white chess piece was placed, and the situation that was supposed to be a sure loss changed.
On the chessboard, the white and black pieces were evenly matched. Outside the chessboard, Shen Yu had no time to care about anything else.
Until Mu Xi came in with the snacks, there was still no winner between the two of them.
Smelling the fragrance, Shen Yu came back to his senses from the game.
Placed on the jade plate were snacks in the shape of small animals. They were white and chubby and looked very cute. Different shapes had different tastes. Shen Yu preferred sweet snacks. He usually ate light colored snacks.
Some of them were soft, and some were hard. Shen Yu liked all of them.
Putting down the chess piece, Shen Yu said, "I don't know when the winner will be decided. Your Majesty, why don't you try the snacks first?"
"Sure." Shang Junlin put away the chess piece.
Shen Yu sat opposite Shang Junlin and introduced the flavors of the snacks to him, "Rabbit-shaped ones are sweet, butterfly-shaped ones are sour, and black wolf-shaped ones are salty …"
Shang Junlin looked at the snacks on the jade plate. Each one was round. Even the black wolf that Shen Yu mentioned didn't look majestic at all.
"Which one does A Yu like best?"
"Rabbit," Shen Yu answered without thinking.
Shang Junlin wasn't surprised by this answer.
After eating the snacks, the rain outside became lighter. Shen Yu walked to the window and looked outside.
"What are you looking at?" Shang Junlin walked over and stood behind Shen Yu.
Enveloped by the man's scent, Shen Yu's unclear emotions gradually disappeared. He leaned back and leaned on Shang Junlin's shoulder.
Shen Yu suddenly felt a little strange. During this time, he had been anxious about Lin County. However, it shouldn't be like this. Lin County's situation wasn't as serious as it was in his previous life. Even if he was worried, it shouldn't be like this.
He had experienced so many things. Even if it was a matter of life and death, he had never been like this. This was very abnormal.
"Your Majesty, do you feel that something is wrong with me recently?"
"Huh?" Shang Junlin was stunned by his question, "Is it because of Lin County's situation?"
Shen Yu raised his hand and covered his heart, "I thought so before."
Shang Junlin frowned, "I asked Imperial Physician Gu to enter the palace."
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that Imperial Physician Gu is studying 'Fei Meng'?" Because of this matter, Imperial Physician Gu hadn't entered the palace for a while.
"I sent someone to ask about the progress."
If Shang Junlin was determined to do something, Shen Yu couldn't dissuade him and could only let him do as he wished.
When the little eunuch who was sent to the palace came back, he brought Imperial Physician Gu.
"Has Imperial Physician Gu found anything?" Shen Yu didn't expect that Shang Junlin's people would directly bring Imperial Physician Gu into the palace.
"I have found a way to deal with it." Imperial Physician Gu had dark circles under his eyes due to lack of sleep, but he was in good spirits.
Shang Junlin stopped Imperial Physician Gu from speaking and said, "Let's take a look at Guijun's body first."
Imperial Physician Gu stepped forward and took Shen Yu's pulse.
"Has Guijun been overly worried recently? Has your sleep been affected?"
"Yes," Shen Yu nodded, "It's easy for me to dream recently."
The dream was grotesque and variegated. Every day, there were different fragments. Shen Yu tried to piece them together, but found that these fragments didn't have any order and were only fragmented content.
"I have prescribed a prescription to calm your nerves. You can take it first. If it doesn't work, I will think of other ways."
Imperial Physician Gu's prescription was divided into two types: oral medicine and medicinal bath.
At night, Shen Yu soaked in hot water with medicinal herbs. Her mind gradually relaxed.
After the bath, Shang Junlin carried her out. Shen Yu nestled in his arms. The lingering smell of medicinal herbs still lingered at the tip of her nose.
"Your Majesty, have I become the smell of medicinal herbs?" Shen Yu raised her hand and sniffed it, "Does it smell bad?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shang Junlin put her on the bed and leaned on her, "It smells good."
There was a faint medicinal smell on the young man's body. It didn't make people feel bitter because it was a medicine to calm the nerves. Smelling it could make people feel relaxed.
That night, Shen Yu slept very well. She quietly nestled in the man's arms and slept until dawn.
When she woke up the next day, all kinds of emotions in her heart faded away, leaving only peace.
The rain stopped. The palace servants opened the windows and the sunlight shone in, as if taking away all the obscure emotions.
Shen Yu stretched her arms and got out of bed.
"Gongzi." Mu Xi came over and tied up Shen Yu's hair.
After tidying up, Shen Yu stood up, "I'm going out for a walk."
The imperial court didn't hide the incident in Lin County. The people learned about it from the people's newspaper.
"Lin County? I remember that this place has always been prone to floods."
"Yes, about four or five years ago, it rained heavily for more than a month. The river broke the dam and many people died."
"The situation this year seems to be fine?"
"Because the officials in Lin County don't dare to leave the people alone. They immediately took measures to deal with it. Have you forgotten what happened four or five years ago? At that time, all the officials in Lin County were killed by a thousand cuts. "
"How could we forget? It was also raining that day. The ground of the execution ground was dyed red."
"Yes, Her Majesty was very angry at that time. Many officials in the capital were also killed. Later, the officials sent to Lin County didn't dare to ignore this incident."
After all, if they didn't handle it well, they would lose their heads.
"Her Majesty also sent officials who are good at water conservancy. They seemed to have been repairing it since two years ago. This time, the damage caused was small because the water conservancy was repaired."
"Her Majesty has foresight. Otherwise, I don't know how much damage we would have suffered this time. I heard that the rain this year wasn't lighter than the previous one."
Lin County, which was being talked about by the people, welcomed a sunny day.
The people huddled together looked up at the sky and felt the warmth of the sunlight shining on their bodies. Gradually, their faces revealed joyful expressions.
"It's sunny!"
"The sun is out!"
"Her Majesty didn't lie to us!"
The battered and exhausted people instantly hugged each other. They had waited in fear for so long, and finally, a sunny day came.
A man in an official's robe came out after hearing the commotion and raised his hand to block the sunlight.
The sky was finally sunny.
Joy spread among the crowd. Suddenly, a person collapsed without warning and screamed. The man in the official's robe touched his forehead.
"I'll go and take a look."
"Okay, be careful."
After a while, the subordinate came back with a heavy expression. "It's a fever."
The man in the official's robe's heart sank. "Separate the crowd and call a doctor."
The scene they didn't want to see the most might happen.
The joy brought by the sunny day was covered with a layer of gloominess.
"Sir, sir, the imperial physician sent by the imperial court has arrived."
"Quickly invite him in."
Imperial Physician Wu took the lead and went to the patient's place. Several officials followed him. One of them said, "As soon as we found something wrong, we separated the people. We'll have to trouble the imperial physician to take a look."
Imperial Physician Wu felt the pulse one by one. His heart sank slightly. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly remembered what Guijun said after he was summoned to the palace before he went to Subei.
The situation of these people was very similar to what Guijun said!
"Young Master, I found this." In Yuzhang Palace, Mu Xi handed a small ball of paper to Shen Yu.
"Where did it come from?"
"When I went out today, I was bumped by a little palace maid. When I came back, I found this on my body." Mu Xi didn't know what was written on it and didn't open it without permission.
"Open it and take a look."
Mu Xi leaned to the side and opened the paper. "There's only one address written on it."
"Oh?"
Mu Xi looked at it several times, but there was only one address in the middle. She hesitated and said, "How should we deal with this?"
Shen Yu supported his chin with one hand and said casually, "Throw it away. It's not worth caring about things of unknown origin."
"Yes." Mu Xi had always followed Shen Yu's words.
When she worked with Shen Yu, she knew best that she shouldn't ask questions that she shouldn't ask. She shouldn't be too curious, because curiosity was the most likely thing to ruin things.
Although this paper ball was given to her, she didn't have anything on her at all. Then the other party's target was obviously Shen Yu. Mu Xi would never allow the young master to be hurt because of her.
"Young Master, should we investigate that palace maid?"
"If you go to look for her now, you probably won't find her." Shen Yu chuckled.
The fact was just as Shen Yu said. When Mu Xi went to look for her that day, she didn't find the palace maid at all. It was as if she had evaporated into thin air.
Outside the palace, in the Sky Room of the Yingxing Tower, a tall young man stood by the window. He was dressed in white and had a cold temperament, but his eyes were covered with a layer of white cloth.
"You're just a child. Why don't you have any curiosity?" The man in white spoke, his tone seemed to be very distressed.
"Scholar, do you need me to bring the person here?"
If no one spoke, almost no one would notice that there was another person in the room besides the man in white.
It was a man wrapped in a pitch-black robe. His voice was slightly hoarse. He half-knelt on the ground and his attitude was very respectful.
"The Emperor of the Great Huan Kingdom protects people like protecting his eyes. How can you bring the person here? Last time, I finally met him. Unfortunately, time was limited and I couldn't talk to him. "
The man in white was used to his subordinate's silence and said to himself, "It's the first time we meet. I should prepare well."
