After that day, there were no more abnormalities in the palace. Shen Yu thought about it and told Shang Junlin about it.
The location on the note was outside the palace. It was not a secret place. Shen Yu and Shang Junlin had even been to this place before. It was unknown whether the person on the other side was conceited or well-prepared to meet here.
"Where's the note?" Shang Junlin frowned slightly after hearing it.
"I asked someone to throw it away. That person's purpose was unclear. He only gave a location. Who knows what he wanted to do? I simply pretended that I didn't see it." It was just a note without any beginning or end. Shen Yu would be stupid if he really went to meet someone because of this.
"A Yu is really …" Shang Junlin stroked Shen Yu's cheek. "Just throw it away. It's not a big deal. What does that palace maid look like? I'll ask someone to check it out. "
Shen Yu called Mu Xi. According to Mu Xi's description, Eunuch Meng led people to search the entire palace and found a match.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, I found someone, but … according to that person, she has never seen Mu Xi. When Mu Xi went to meet her in person, she acted as if she didn't know her at all." Eunuch Meng reported the results of his investigation.
"Why didn't Mu Xi find her when she went to look for her that day?" Shen Yu asked.
"Because that palace maid was in a coma for the whole day. She only woke up on the third day. The other palace maids with her also said that they didn't see her that day." Eunuch Meng's investigation was very detailed. He found out a lot of things that Mu Xi didn't find out.
"So, either this palace maid is lying, or this matter really has nothing to do with her. Someone took her identity and sent the note to Mu Xi." Shen Yu pondered. The palace was heavily guarded. How did that person pass through the layers of guards?
Was it someone who was already in the palace, or was it someone from outside?
Shen Yu suddenly remembered the person who suddenly appeared in his room at the horse farm that day. If this person really existed and was not someone he dreamed of, was there any connection between this and what happened in the Palace this time?
After Eunuch Meng finished his report and left, Shen Yu was still thinking about this matter.
"Why don't we send someone to that place to take a look?" Shang Junlin sat beside Shen Yu and pulled her into his embrace.
"The location on the note is Yingxing Tower. It's too high-profile. I don't know what he wants to do." Shen Yu half-closed his eyes, various thoughts flashing through his mind.
"No matter what they want to do, We will not let anyone have the chance to hurt you."
Shang Junlin ordered the Hidden Dragon Guards to secretly investigate the guests who appeared in Yingxing Tower and submit a list of suspicious people. At the same time, the security in the palace was tightened, especially in Yuzhang Palace. Those with unknown identities and insignificant people were not allowed to enter.
The Hidden Dragon Guards submitted the list of people who came to the capital and stayed in Yingxing Tower. Shang Junlin opened the list and let Shen Yu take a look.
The list listed everyone's background. To the Hidden Dragon Guards, these things were not difficult to investigate. However, they could not determine who was suspicious just by looking at the list.
"How's the situation at Yingxing Tower?"
"It's the same as usual. Nothing unusual."
"If the person on the other side really wants to see me, he will find a chance to see me." Under the candlelight, Shen Yu's eyes were cold. "We shouldn't be the ones who should be anxious."
"That's right." Shang Junlin put his hand on Shen Yu's hand. The young man's body temperature had always been low. It was as if he needed to be held in someone's arms to warm up.
Shen Yu leaned on the man lazily. "There is one thing that I didn't tell Your Majesty. I thought that I mistook the dream as reality. However, after Mu Xi suddenly received a note from an unknown source, I thought about it carefully. It shouldn't be my imagination."
"What is it?" Shang Junlin stopped stroking the back of Shen Yu's hand.
"That day, after I went to the horse farm, I fell asleep in the evening. I felt that someone appeared in the house. I thought it was Your Majesty. After I asked Mu Xi, I found out that no one came in at that time." This was one of the reasons why Shen Yu mistook the dream as reality.
At that time, he was sleeping in the inner room. Mu Xi was guarding the outer room. There were also guards outside. It was impossible for anyone to sneak in quietly.
"Why didn't you tell me at that time?" The hand that was originally loosely covering the back of Shen Yu's hand suddenly clenched. Shang Junlin felt a lingering fear. If that person wanted to harm A Yu, wouldn't he not know the reason when it happened?
"A Yu, no matter what happens in the future, you have to tell me, okay?"
The man's tone was low. Shen Yu could feel the nervousness in Shang Junlin's heart under his seemingly calm tone.
He rubbed the man's shoulder. "I didn't feel any malice from that person. After I woke up, I didn't feel any discomfort in my body. Otherwise, I would definitely tell Your Majesty. Your Majesty, don't worry. Didn't Imperial Physician Gu check my pulse later? I'm really fine."
"I'm still worried. Let Imperial Physician Gu take a closer look."
"It's already so late. Don't bother Imperial Physician Gu." The distance from the outside of the palace to Yuzhang Palace was not short.
"I'll send someone to pick him up, Meng Chang."
Eunuch Meng pushed the door open and walked in. "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
"Arrange for a few people to bring Imperial Physician Gu to the palace."
If it was something else, Shen Yu would persuade Shang Junlin and he would most likely listen. However, when it came to Shen Yu's health, Shang Junlin was very insistent.
Shen Yu's persuasion was fruitless, so he could only give up. It was also good to let Imperial Physician Gu take a look at Shang Junlin.
When Imperial Physician Gu arrived, he was stopped by Shang Junlin before he could greet him. "Let Guijun take a look at him directly."
Shen Yu stretched out his hand. His arm was very thin. After more than a year of recuperation, his body was very well nourished. His originally pale skin had become lustrous, just like the best mutton fat white jade.
After Imperial Physician Gu finished taking Guijun's pulse, he was slightly relieved. He was called to the palace in the middle of the night. He thought that there was a big problem with Guijun's health.
"Guijun's health is fine. Your Majesty and Guijun can rest assured."
Shen Yu withdrew his hand and covered his arm with his wide sleeves. He lowered his head and tidied up his sleeves. "I told you he was fine, but Your Majesty didn't believe me. Now Your Majesty can rest assured, right?"
"It's naturally the best that A Yu is fine."
A new memorial was handed over from Lin County. It first said that the heavy rain in Lin County had stopped. Before the courtiers could breathe a sigh of relief, the next news stunned them.
There was an epidemic in Lin County.
This was more difficult to deal with than a flood. An epidemic was often accompanied by a large number of deaths. It was a heavy blow to every place where an epidemic occurred.
"Your Majesty, please send more people. We must not let the epidemic spread!"
The imperial court was busy again. Orders were issued one after another and were carried out in an orderly manner.
"Young Master, I just received news from the palace servants in the front hall that there was an epidemic in Lin County."
Shen Yu's hand paused. The words he had written were scrapped. He put down the pen and folded the paper. "How is the situation?"
"The specific situation is not clear."
Not long after, Eunuch Meng asked for an audience.
Shen Yu asked Mu Xi to bring Eunuch Meng in.
Eunuch Meng respectfully bowed to Shen Yu and said, "His Majesty asked me to come over and tell you that there will be a meeting in the main hall today. He asked you not to wait and to eat first …"
Eunuch Meng said a lot of things, all of which were instructions to Shen Yu. Shen Yu could almost imagine Shang Junlin's expression when he was giving these instructions.
"Is the situation very serious?" Shen Yu asked.
Eunuch Meng reacted for a moment before he realized what Shen Yu was talking about. He was not surprised that Shen Yu knew about this. Shang Junlin never hid anything from him about the imperial court. Eunuch Meng acted according to the Emperor's instructions, so naturally, he would not hide anything.
"The imperial court does not know the specific situation. His Majesty sent Imperial Physician Wu, who is good at treating epidemics, in advance. It should not be too serious. You don't have to worry too much."
Eunuch Meng still had to go to Shang Junlin's side to serve him, so he did not stay for long. After he left, Shen Yu lost interest in writing.
Lin County.
Imperial Physician Wu led the other imperial physicians and local doctors from the capital to treat the local people.
The officials of Lin County were very cooperative. The sick people were separated, and the healthy people lived in another place. Although the epidemic came unexpectedly, there was no big trouble under the arrangement of Imperial Physician Wu and the others.
Imperial Physician Wu personally saw many patients and wrote down the symptoms of these people. The more he observed, the more frightened he became.
The situation that did not happen in Subei happened in Lin County.
Imperial Physician Wu did not dare to delay and hurriedly wrote down his findings in a memorial. He found a time when there was no one and came to Lin County's government office.
"Imperial Physician Wu, you have worked hard during this time."
"It's not hard. This is what I should do. I came here today because I have something important to ask Daren."
"Imperial Physician Wu, please speak."
"About this epidemic, I made a record. I hope Daren can help to send it to the capital."
Imperial Physician Wu did not write anything that should not be written. He remembered what Shen Yu had told him. The contents of the memorial would be confusing to people who did not know the inside story.
Imperial Physician Wu's memorial was mixed in with the other memorials in Lin County and sent to the capital.
This memorial was written about the specific behavior of the patients after they were infected with the epidemic. After the cabinet dealt with it, it was sent to the palace together.
During this time, the imperial court was busy with the matters in Lin County.
Shen Yu sat next to Shang Junlin and occasionally read a few memorials.
Imperial Physician Wu's memorial was mixed in with the other memorials and was not eye-catching. After Shang Junlin picked up the memorial, Imperial Physician Wu's memorial was exposed.
Shen Yu took out the memorial and opened it.
The contents of the memorial immediately attracted Shen Yu's attention. After reading it, Shen Yu felt that the dust had settled.
The man-made natural disaster in his previous life happened again in this life.
The matter of "Fei Meng" had not been solved yet, but these people had delivered themselves to his door.
Shen Yu's hand that was placed on the memorial gradually clenched. Because he was using too much strength, his knuckles turned white.
When he closed his eyes, the image of the people lying on the ground in pain after the epidemic appeared in his mind. No one treated them. As long as they got close, they would be infected. The hope in his eyes was extinguished little by little, and in the end, only numbness was left.
All of this was caused by the ambition of some people!
"A Yu." His fingers were forcibly pried open and the memorial in his hand was taken away. "What are you thinking about? Why are you so lost in thought?"
"According to Imperial Physician Wu's memorial, the epidemic in Lin County this time may not be a natural disaster, but a man-made one." Shen Yu held Shang Junlin's hand tightly, as if he was holding onto the only duckweed.
Shang Junlin finished reading the memorial quickly. The aura on his body became more and more piercingly cold.
"This matter, zhen will investigate to the end."
"The people who did this probably did not expect that we would be prepared."
No matter what kind of fruit they wanted to pluck, they could only watch helplessly as they failed step by step.
