In the end, Shang Junlin's wish was not fulfilled.
When the noise outside the palace was about to stop, Shen Yue asked for an audience. Eunuch Meng had just finished reprimanding the insensible palace servants when he saw Shen Yue walking over with a dignified expression.
"Eunuch Meng, I have an important matter to discuss with Your Majesty and Your Highness. Could you please pass on the message?"
Eunuch Meng knew that she was working for Shen Yu, so he immediately went to report.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, Shen Yue asks for an audience."
Shen Yu pushed the man on top of her, "Your Majesty, please get up."
Shang Junlin got up with a dark face and tidied up Shen Yu's clothes, "Let him in."
Not long after, Eunuch Meng came in with Shen Yue.
Shen Yu's face was still a little red, and the heat on her body had not dissipated. She looked at Shang Junlin and found that the man did not seem to be any different.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Your Highness, this servant received an order today. This servant did not know who sent the letter, and this servant did not open the letter." Shen Yue took out the letter and presented it with both hands.
Eunuch Meng took the letter from her and handed it to Shang Junlin.
There was not much content in the letter. Shen Yu went to Shang Junlin's side and finished reading it with him. Her expression was a little strange.
— — Because of the request in the letter.
The letter asked Shen Yue to find a way to destroy the greenhouse that Shang Junlin built for Shen Yu.
After asking Shen Yue some questions and confirming that she really did not know anything, Shen Yu signaled her to go back first.
"Your Majesty, what do you think?"
The flowers in the greenhouse that Shang Junlin built for Shen Yu were almost all found by Shang Junlin. Why would someone want to destroy the greenhouse?
"If they want to destroy the greenhouse, it must be because there is something in the greenhouse."
"But there are only all kinds of flowers and plants inside."
The greenhouse had been remodeled and turned into a place for flowers and plants. There was nothing else in the huge palace except for flowers and plants. It couldn't be that these people's goal was the flowers in the greenhouse, right?
Shang Junlin ordered Eunuch Meng to personally take a look at the greenhouse to make sure that there were things that they didn't know about.
"Is there a new palace maid coming to Yuzhang Palace recently?" Shen Yu suddenly remembered the palace maid who claimed to be a new palace maid outside the hall just now.
Mu Xi thought for a moment and said, "I don't think so."
"Go and investigate the palace maid who appeared outside the palace today and said she was a new maid." Shen Yu ordered.
First, it was the letter that appeared in Shen Yue's hands. Then, it was the "newcomer" that appeared in Yuzhang Palace. There might be some connection between the two.
Eunuch Meng led his men to carefully check the greenhouse but didn't find anything extra. After a long time, he ordered the palace servants to put the flowers back.
"What's going on in front?"
Just as Ji Wuwang was about to go to Yuzhang Palace, he passed by the greenhouse and heard the sound of chaotic footsteps.
"Young Master Ji?" Eunuch Meng heard the sound and wiped his sweat. He turned his head and said, "His Majesty ordered me to check the flowers in the greenhouse. It will be done soon. Is Young Master Ji looking for Guijun?"
"These flowers …"
"These flowers were all found by His Majesty for Guijun. Guijun has always liked to take care of flowers and plants. His Majesty found all kinds of flowers and plants to bring into the palace and built a greenhouse to place them."
"These are all things that Xiao Yu likes?"
"Yes." Eunuch Meng knew that he was Shen Yu's older brother and said a few more words, "Guijun often comes here. In the beginning, when there were few flowers, Guijun personally took care of them. It's amazing that one of the flowers here has been blooming for several months without any signs of withering."
"What kind of flower is so amazing?" Ji Wuwang was interested.
"It's that one." Eunuch Meng pointed at a certain place. When he turned around and saw the white cloth covering Ji Wuwang's eyes, he paused. He almost forgot that this lord couldn't see.
"It's a pale yellow flower with a big bud." Eunuch Meng described the magical flower. "This flower is really amazing. When it sees Guijun, it will shake."
"It's really amazing." Ji Wuwang's tone was calm, but no one knew what kind of huge waves were rolling under this calm surface.
Listening to Eunuch Meng's description, this flower was very similar to the one he had been looking for.
"If Young Master Ji wants to find Guijun, you can go directly to Yuzhang Palace."
Ji Wuwang didn't stay any longer and went to Yuzhang Palace. He came to the palace this time to talk to Shang Junlin about the captured people. He didn't expect to meet with a pleasant surprise midway.
"Wuying, did you see it? Is that flower the one I've been looking for? "
The man who had been following behind Ji Wuwang said in a low voice, "It looks like it."
"Whether it is or not, we can only find a way to get closer to see it. Why did this flower appear in the palace?"
No one could answer Ji Wuwang's question.
When Ji Wuwang arrived at Yuzhang Palace, Shen Yu was taking an afternoon nap. The two men tacitly didn't disturb Shen Yu and chose another place to talk.
When Shen Yu woke up, the two had finished talking.
With Mu Xi's help, Shen Yu changed his clothes and walked out.
Shang Junlin heard footsteps and looked up. When he saw Shen Yu, he got up and walked towards him. "A Yu, you're awake?"
"I slept well." Shen Yu turned to look at Ji Wuwang. "Young Master Ji, you're here at this time. Is there a result from the interrogation?"
Ji Wuwang nodded. "That person has been hiding in Da Huan for many years and has been looking for your mother's whereabouts."
"Why did he do this to me? Is it also because of my mother? "Shen Yu was hugged by Shang Junlin and sat on the main seat.
Ji Wuwang: "Yes."
Shen Yu: "What did my mother do to make so many people want to kill her?"
Ji Wuwang: "Because she ruined their plans and shattered their ambitions. Twenty-five years ago, she discovered the secret of the Ji family's leader and made it public. That person secretly used a forbidden technique and failed at the most critical moment. Naturally, he hated the culprit who caused all this."
Shen Yu: "Who was the leader at that time?"
Ji Wuwang: "It was another branch of the Ji family. After the incident, the Ji family was taken over by my father. At that time, the Ji family was very chaotic. When the chaos was over, your mother had quietly left the clan. No one knew where she went."
Shen Yu: "When I was young, I was hunted down once. Those people were killed by His Majesty. Were they also members of the Ji family? If they were members of the Ji family, why didn't they come to find me later? "
Ji Wuwang said, "After being exposed, that person should have been sentenced to death, but after he caused chaos in the clan, he disappeared from the clan. The clan has been sending people to capture him, and it was only seven years ago that we finally caught him at the border of the Great Huan Kingdom. This time, we caught someone who escaped with him from the clan."
As the former Patriarch of the Ji Clan, even though he had done unforgivable things, there were still many people who were loyal to him. The person who was captured this time was one of them. Seven years ago, after that person was dealt with by the Ji Clan, this person went into hiding. The reason he attacked Chen Yu was to avenge the former Patriarch.
"That person's former subordinates blamed everything on your mother. Since your mother is no longer around, this hatred was passed on to you."
After saying this, Ji Wuwang thought of the flowers that Eunuch Meng had mentioned and asked, "Were the flowers in your greenhouse sent by him?"
It went without saying that he was referring to him.
"Why are you suddenly asking about this?" Shen Yu was puzzled.
"When I left the clan this time, I have been looking for something. There is a flower in your greenhouse that is very similar to what I am looking for."
"Are you talking about the flower that has bloomed for a long time and hasn't withered?" In terms of uniqueness, Shen Yu felt that no other flower could be more unique than this one.
"Yes." Ji Wuwang diverted some of his attention to Shang Junlin. "May I ask where Your Majesty got this flower?"
"This flower was sent by Prince An. I didn't get it." Shang Junlin said lightly.
"It was sent last year. At first, it didn't bloom. Then, one day, it suddenly bloomed." Shen Yu explained.
"This flower, when the time comes, bring it with you." Ji Wuwang said.
He didn't say the reason, so Shen Yu didn't ask. This flower was mysterious. It wouldn't be strange if it came from the equally mysterious Ji family.
After Ji Wuwang left, Shen Yu nestled in Shang Junlin's arms and suddenly thought of this. "Your Majesty, do you think the real purpose of the person who wanted to destroy the greenhouse is because of this flower?"
Most of the flowers in the greenhouse were sent by Shang Junlin, except for the "Junling" sent by Imperial Physician Gu and the unknown flower sent by Prince An.
"It's possible. If Shen Yue doesn't do anything, that person might do something else."
Mu Xi came back with the results of her investigation. The palace maid's purpose was none other than the greenhouse.
This time, the answer was obvious.
The flowers in the greenhouse were quietly moved to other places. Except for Shang Junlin, Shen Yu, and a few people they trusted, no one else knew that two flowers were missing from the greenhouse.
The "Junling" was moved to Shen Yu and Shang Junlin's palace. This flower spent the coldest period in their palace. When the weather became hot, Shang Junlin ordered people to move it away. This time, it was moved back.
At the same time, security was strengthened around the greenhouse. If anyone suspicious was found, they would be arrested.
The palace maid was taken away for interrogation. Unfortunately, she was only following orders and didn't know who ordered her to do this.
Shen Yue also didn't have any results. At this time, she clearly realized that the original owner of this body had a big hole in her.
She recalled the original owner's memories over and over again, trying to find some clues, but to no avail.
Gu Huai walked out of the dungeon. His subordinate silently handed him a handkerchief. Gu Huai took it and wiped the blood off his hands.
After sending Imperial Physician Gu away, Gu Huai's originally patient attitude changed drastically. He personally interrogated those who were arrested, but none of them lasted for more than a day. As the interrogation went on, Gu Huai became more and more tense.
Every day, new developments were reported to Shang Junlin through the Hidden Dragon Guards. Gu Huai caught the person who drugged Lin County and found out the source of the drug from that person.
Shang Junlin ordered the Hidden Dragon Guards to continue investigating. Gu Huai caught the culprit who caused the epidemic in Lin County and escorted him back to the capital.
"Your Majesty, do you want to announce the truth about Lin County to the court?" Until now, the officials in the imperial court still didn't know that the aggressive epidemic in Lin County was a man-made one.
"Let's not talk about it for now. I will deal with it when I return." Shang Junlin had already arranged everything. Even if he left for a period of time, the operations of the court would not be affected.
"I don't know how long I will have to stay there." After being reborn, Shen Yu had been staying in the palace. Suddenly, she had to leave for a period of time. She couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"When A Yu is cured, we will return." Shang Junlin's gaze was gentle.
"Your Majesty, it's not good!" Eunuch Meng walked in anxiously and knelt on the ground. "The greenhouse is on fire!"
Shang Junlin stood up abruptly. Shen Yu also stood up. They didn't expect an accident to happen even though they had been guarding the greenhouse.
