"A Yu is finally awake." Shang Junlin lowered his head and rubbed the young man's cheek.
"Did I sleep for a long time?" Shen Yu tilted his head and looked at the window.
Outside the window, the sun was shining brightly. Shen Yu was stunned, "Is it already afternoon?"
Shang Junlin helped Shen Yu to sit up, "A Yu slept for a long time. Don't do this again."
After Shen Yu woke up, the palace servants serving in the hall breathed a sigh of relief. Mu Xi's heart also fell to the ground.
"Ask the imperial physician to come over and check on A Yu." Shang Junlin ordered.
"Yes, this slave will go now." Eunuch Meng accepted the order and left.
The atmosphere in the hall gradually returned to normal. Shen Yu looked at Shang Junlin. The man had dark circles under his eyes. He reached out and touched them, "Your Majesty, did you not sleep well last night?"
"A Yu had a fever last night. I couldn't wake him up." Shang Junlin touched the young man's forehead, "Fortunately, he woke up now. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
He didn't mention that he almost didn't sleep last night because of Shen Yu's matter.
As Shen Yu woke up, his fever was also relieved. He didn't feel anything except that his body was a little sore.
Shen Yu shook his head.
"Let's wait for the imperial physician."
Mu Xi brought in clean water. Shang Junlin wiped Shen Yu's face and hands. He lowered his head and wiped very seriously.
After wiping, the palace servants brought in hot porridge. Shang Junlin took the bowl and fed Shen Yu spoonful by spoonful.
Shen Yu felt that Shang Junlin was treating him like a fragile porcelain doll. He pushed the man's arm, "Your Majesty, let me down."
Shang Junlin had been holding him in his arms since he woke up. Shen Yu didn't know how long Shang Junlin had been holding him before he woke up.
"Don't move." Shang Junlin took a handkerchief and carefully wiped Shen Yu's mouth.
After finishing the porridge, Eunuch Meng brought the imperial physician in. Along with him was a white-robed Ji Wuwang.
Why was Ji Wuwang in the palace?
Shen Yu blinked in confusion.
The Imperial Physician had already stepped forward. Because Imperial Physician Gu went to the neighboring county, the Imperial Physician who came to treat Shen Yu was not familiar with him. Shen Yu stretched out his hand and let the Imperial Physician take his pulse.
After taking his pulse, the imperial physician retracted his hand. "Your Highness's body is fine. You're just a little weak."
Shang Junlin looked at the other imperial physicians without saying a word.
After the first imperial physician left, several other imperial physicians also came forward to take Shen Yu's pulse. The conclusion they got was the same as the first imperial physician.
Shang Junlin sent them away and said, "You were unconscious last night because you were affected by the medicine in Shen Qingran's hands. Ji Wuwang will be in the palace. I sent someone to invite him in."
"I didn't come into contact with the medicine, right?" Shen Yu thought that he wasn't affected because nothing happened at first.
"I made a mistake in my judgment. I shouldn't have let him get close to you." Ji Wuwang said.
Ji Wuwang repeated what Shang Junlin said to Shen Yu. After Shen Yu heard it, he fell silent.
He knew that his mother's origin wasn't that simple, but he didn't expect that it would involve the Ji family and the "Jie Yin" in his body. In his previous life, until his death, he didn't know that he had this thing on him.
"You mean, I have to go to the Ji family's territory?" Shen Yu felt the pressure on his waist increase because of his words. Helpless, he asked, "Your Majesty refused, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty doesn't allow me to bring you with me. It will take at least half a month from Da Huan's capital to the Ji family's territory. You still have time to consider your choice."
Shen Yu wasn't surprised that Shang Junlin didn't agree. Ji Wuwang's origin was a mystery. Everything he said was just his side of the story. No one knew how much of his words were true or false. Under such circumstances, how could Shang Junlin be at ease to hand Shen Yu over?
"I have already sent the Hidden Dragon Guards to investigate the Ji family. If what Ji Wuwang said is true, I will accompany you to the Ji family's territory." Shang Junlin said after Ji Wuwang left.
This was a decision he made after thinking for a long time. No matter what, he couldn't let Shen Yu go to the Ji family's territory alone.
"Your Majesty is the Emperor of Da Huan. How can you leave for me?"
"In my heart, A Yu is more important than anything else."
For the entire day, Shang Junlin didn't leave Shen Yu's side at all. If it wasn't for Shen Yu's strong protest, he would have hugged Shen Yu in his arms no matter what he did.
After getting Shen Yu's protest, Shang Junlin let Shen Yu go alone. However, no matter where Shen Yu went, his gaze would follow him closely.
Although Shang Junlin didn't say it, Shen Yu could only think that Shang Junlin might have been frightened this time. He consciously stayed with Shang Junlin.
When Shang Junlin was reading the memorial, he would take a book and lean on him, indulging Shang Junlin's possessiveness.
For several days, Shang Junlin was in this state. One day, Shen Yu woke up a little early. He found that Shang Junlin was half lying on the bed, looking at him without blinking.
The room was very dark. Shen Yu couldn't tell the time. He propped himself up and was about to get up, but was stopped by Shang Junlin: "It's still early. A Yu should sleep for a while."
"What time is it now?"
Shang Junlin said the time. It was indeed very early. Usually, Shen Yu would still be sleeping at this time. He lay back down and planned to sleep for a while. Suddenly, he realized that something was wrong.
Shen Yu moved closer to Shang Junlin: "Why is Your Majesty still in Yuzhang Palace at this time?"
"The morning court ended so soon?"
Shang Junlin said "En" indifferently. He pulled Shen Yu back into his arms and patted his back: "Go to sleep."
Shang Junlin's arms were very warm. His gentle movements also had a hypnotic effect. Shen Yu faintly felt that something was wrong. Before he could think about it, his consciousness gradually slipped into sleep.
It was already two hours later when he was completely awake. Shang Junlin was not there, so Mu Xi helped him dress.
After he woke up, his mind gradually became clear. Shen Yu narrowed his eyes and said unexpectedly: "How long has Your Majesty not been to the morning court?"
"Since the day young master fell ill, he hasn't been to the morning court." Mu Xi answered subconsciously. After answering, her face changed slightly: "I …"
"You don't have to hide it for him. Since I asked, it must be something." Shen Yu deliberately asked because he knew that Shang Junlin might have ordered this matter to be sealed. If he directly asked "Did Your Majesty not go to the morning court?", he probably wouldn't get the real answer.
After tidying up, Shen Yu walked out of the room.
"The Prime Minister came today and Your Majesty met him next door." Mu Xi took the initiative to explain.
"Your Majesty didn't go to the morning court for a few days. What was the reaction of the court?"
"Because Your Majesty said that you were not feeling well these days, so you won't go to the morning court for the time being. All the affairs of the court are controlled by the cabinet, so everything is calm for the time being."
Shen Yu knew that Shang Junlin would have his own arrangements, but he still didn't want Shang Junlin to not go to the morning court for a long time because of him. So when Shang Junlin came back, the first thing he did was to hug Shen Yu into his arms, but he was rejected.
Shen Yu pressed against his chest and said directly: "Your Majesty, why didn't you go to the morning court?"
Shen Yu was smart. Shang Junlin didn't expect to keep Shen Yu in the dark all the time, so he didn't panic when he was exposed. He grabbed Shen Yu's hand and said: "I'm worried about you. The Prime Minister and Fang Jun will take care of the affairs of the court. Nothing will happen if you leave me for a day or two."
"I'm fine now. The imperial physician also said that my body is fine. Your Majesty, please don't delay the affairs of the court because of me."
The ministers of the court had many opinions about Shang Junlin not going to the morning court for a few days.
"It's already the fifth day. Is Your Majesty still not going to the morning court?"
"Is Your Majesty really sick? Is his illness serious? "
The ministers were worried. The health of a country's emperor couldn't be trifled with. Moreover, Shang Junlin didn't have any children and didn't appoint an heir. If something really happened, the court would be in chaos.
"Why don't we find a time to go to the palace and visit him?"
"Five days ago, many imperial physicians were summoned to the palace overnight. They haven't left the palace yet. Can anyone give us an accurate answer? How is Your Majesty's health?"
On the first day, when His Majesty suddenly announced that he wouldn't be going to the morning court, although the ministers privately discussed the reason, they didn't panic. Until the second day, the third day …
"Didn't the Prime Minister and Fang Daren receive the summons? Why don't we go and ask them?"
"At least, we have to make sure that Your Majesty is fine."
After making up their minds, they visited the Prime Minister and Fang Jun. The Prime Minister and Fang Jun had seen the Emperor before, so they naturally knew that Shang Junlin was fine. They comforted the officials who came to inquire.
"Both the Prime Minister and Fang Daren said that he's fine. He should be fine, right?"
"If he's fine, why doesn't Your Majesty go to the morning court?"
Fortunately, they didn't have to worry for long. Shang Junlin resumed the morning court. Looking at the Emperor sitting on the dragon throne, who didn't change much from before, the ministers heaved a sigh of relief.
Shang Junlin didn't explain why he didn't go to the morning court. The ministers also tacitly moved on from this matter.
Lin County.
With the addition of Imperial Physician Gu, the epidemic was effectively alleviated. Many people who were infected with the epidemic recovered after treatment.
Because Lin County only allowed people to enter and not leave, outsiders didn't know the specific situation inside. Deliberately, the rumors outside became more and more outrageous.
Gu Huai didn't enter Lin County. He brought people to investigate for a few days and found a few suspicious people.
"Little Gu, come over here and take a look," Imperial Physician Wu said.
Imperial Physician Gu put down the things at hand and walked over.
"Look, his condition is starting to improve."
The person in front of Imperial Physician Wu was one of the first infected people. He was also one of the people who volunteered to be a test subject. His condition was more serious than the others. After receiving treatment from Imperial Physician Gu and Imperial Physician Wu, his condition gradually improved.
In this place, the same situation happened every day. The fire of hope would never be extinguished.
Imperial Physician Wu more or less guessed some of the secrets, but he couldn't deny that this epidemic was the smoothest one he had ever experienced.
The news of Lin County was sent back to the capital. There was a way to deal with it, and the epidemic was solved smoothly.
In the end, Shen Yu's body had been affected and was much weaker than before. He also slept more than before. At first, Shang Junlin was very worried, but after the imperial physician said that it was normal, he felt a little relieved.
"I plan to ask Imperial Physician Gu to come back early," Shang Junlin said as he put down the memorial from Lin County.
Originally, Imperial Physician Gu would stay in Lin County until this matter was completely solved. However, Shen Yu's body was in a bad condition, and Shang Junlin couldn't wait that long.
"Your Majesty, have you found any clues about the Ji family?" Shen Yu had been flipping through the books in the library these days. Unexpectedly, he really found a book that recorded the Ji family's matters.
He carried the book to the imperial study: "Your Majesty, what did I find?"
"I found a little. Part of what Ji Wuwang said was true. However, there are still no clues about the 'Jie Yin'." Shang Junlin put down his pen. "A Yu also found out about the Ji family?"
