Shen Yu hugged Shang Junlin's neck and planted a light kiss on his lips: "How can I bear to let Your Majesty be the bait?"
No matter who that person was, he wasn't worthy.
Shang Junlin took advantage of the situation and hugged Shen Yu's waist: "What does A Yu want to do?"
"Let them see that there is an opportunity to take advantage of, and at the same time, create an atmosphere that they already have something on them. In front of their own lives, they will always be willing to take a risk."
"Zhen will arrange it." Shang Junlin hugged Shen Yu and sat on the soft couch at the side.
"Zhu Wang, who was locked up in the dark prison, was also someone who escaped from the Ji family?" Shen Yu found a comfortable position in Shang Junlin's arms with familiarity.
"Yes, he took him away and said that he wanted to ask about some things that happened in the past."
Naturally, Ji Wuwang, who was also a member of the Ji family, knew more about how to deal with the Ji family. They had locked Zhu Wang up for so long but didn't get much useful information. Instead of wasting time, it was better to hand him over to Ji Wuwang.
Shang Junlin and Ji Wuwang joined forces to uncover the Ji family's forces hidden in the capital. After dealing with this, Shang Junlin began to make arrangements to go to the Ji family's territory.
Imperial Physician Gu knew the specific situation of Shen Yu's body from the other imperial physicians and Ji Wuwang. Because he had been in charge of nursing Shen Yu's body, this time, Shang Junlin planned to bring him along.
The weather was gradually getting hotter. Shen Yu didn't ask Shang Junlin how to deal with the former emperor and concubines. If he got something from those people, Shang Junlin would tell him. If there was nothing, there was no need to ask.
After the greenhouse fire, the palace dealt with a group of palace servants. Because Shen Yu's body wasn't good, Shang Junlin didn't let him intervene in these matters.
Shen Yu stayed in Yuzhang Palace every day and didn't feel the wind and rain outside. Mu Xi was instructed by Shang Junlin not to bother Shen Yu with these matters.
Gu Huai brought people back to the capital. The two people he caught had been tortured beyond recognition. The information they got was presented to Shang Junlin.
The crisis of Lin County was resolved. The imperial court finally gave the people an answer and reported this matter in the newspaper.
"The imperial court has announced the situation of Lin County. Everyone go and take a look."
"How is it? Is the situation serious? "
"It's not that serious. I'm really relieved. The epidemic in Lin County has been brought under control."
"So why didn't give an explanation before?"
"Didn't they give it now? Perhaps the imperial court has just received accurate news. Lin County is so far away from the capital. Isn't it normal for them to receive the news later? "
"Lin Lin Lin is Lin's Lin Lin's County is Lin's Yu's County is Lin's's Lin's Lin Lin, the to '' Lin ''s's
The people were very concerned about the matter of Lin County. The imperial court didn't give an explanation before, but there were all kinds of rumors outside.
"Do you still remember? There was a rumor that the imperial court ordered all the sick people to be burned in order to solve the epidemic in Lin County. That's why they didn't give an explanation to the public …"
"I remember, but I didn't believe it. After the emperor ascended the throne, he didn't do such an outrageous thing. If he didn't care about the people, how could we have such a good life now?"
"The people who spread these rumors may have something in mind. Have you forgotten that the traitor King Yue colluded with several ministers to smear His Majesty's name?"
"Why are these people still unwilling to give up? Why don't we report this news to the government? "
"That's feasible."
Thus, the government in the capital received many anonymous letters from the people about the rumors during this period.
Since the incident with King Yue, the imperial court ordered that these rumors couldn't be ignored. The government had been investigating the source and caught many people who spread the rumors maliciously.
The weather was getting hotter, and Shang Junlin suggested in the imperial court that he wanted to take Shen Yu to avoid the heat. This time, he didn't go there last time, but to another palace in the south. The Prime Minister, Fang Jun, and the other important ministers were all left behind.
This time, it was the emperor's personal trip.
This kind of thing wasn't uncommon in Da Huan. There was once an emperor in Da Huan who liked to go out of the palace. In order to cater to his preferences, palaces were built all over Da Huan. Later emperors would occasionally go to these places to play.
After Shang Junlin ascended the throne, he devoted all his attention to political affairs. In his early years, he left the palace to go to war. This was the first time he left the palace to play.
Only the Prime Minister, Fang Jun, and other trusted ministers knew the inside story. They also knew that there might be some twists and turns in His Majesty's departure this time.
But they couldn't persuade him. No one could stop Shang Junlin from doing what he decided to do.
After the court, Shang Junlin asked the Prime Minister and others to stay. He talked for the whole afternoon in the imperial study and arranged the follow-up matters before returning to Yuzhang Palace.
Yuzhang Palace was quiet. Seeing him come in, Mu Xi hurriedly stood up and bowed.
"Where's A Yu?"
"Young Master is sleeping in the inner room. He hasn't woken up yet."
As the weather got hotter, Shen Yu became more and more sleepy. Shang Junlin knew that he had to take people to the Ji clan as soon as possible to solve the hidden danger in Shen Yu's body.
Imperial Physician Gu came to check Shen Yu's pulse every day and developed another medicine that could be taken according to the suppressant medicine. This medicine was used to nourish Shen Yu's body. Otherwise, it would cause irreversible damage to Shen Yu's body if Shen Yu was too weak.
Ji Wuwang didn't object to taking Imperial Physician Gu to the Ji clan. To him, one more person or one less person didn't make much of a difference.
Shang Junlin walked into the inner room and saw the young man sleeping soundly on the soft bed.
In just a few days, the young man had lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye. His black hair stuck to his pale cheeks, making his face look even smaller.
Shang Junlin slowed down his footsteps and walked over. He sat beside the soft bed and reached out to touch the young man's face.
A familiar breath approached. Shen Yu moved forward and slowly opened his eyes.
"Your Majesty?" Shen Yu, who had just woken up, was still a little confused. His voice was also soft.
"You're awake?" Shang Junlin's voice was low and gentle.
"Yes." Shen Yu nodded.
Shang Junlin helped him get up. "Why didn't you sleep on the bed?"
While he was moving, the book slipped from his side. Shen Yu didn't care and sat up with the man's strength: "I was reading a book just now and accidentally fell asleep."
"I've already arranged everything. We can go to the Ji clan to solve the 'warning' on your body." Shang Junlin brushed away the messy hair on the young man's forehead.
"What did Your Majesty say to the ministers?"
"I said I'm going to the summer palace to play for a while. There's no big matter in the court recently. It doesn't matter whether I'm there or not."
Shen Yu leaned on the man's shoulder and said in a weak voice, "Didn't the ministers object?"
"There's nothing to object. The previous Emperors of the Great Huan Dynasty had such precedents. I'm just exercising my rights."
Shang Junlin didn't disclose Shen Yu's physical condition to the public. He also didn't intend to disclose it to the public. His A Yu was only temporarily ill. After he recovered, he would be the same as before and accompany him for a long time.
After arranging everything in the court, Shang Junlin took Shen Yu to the summer palace.
In order to deal with the ministers in the court, they also knew how to deceive the public. They would first go to the southern summer palace that Shang Junlin mentioned. After checking in, they would change their route to the Ji clan's land.
The people they brought would stay in the summer palace. Shang Junlin arranged for his stand-in to stay there. They would disguise their identities and leave.
Ji Wuwang brought along the captured members of the Ji clan. They didn't move together. They went their own ways and finally met at the agreed place. Then, they would go to the Ji clan's land together.
Shen Yu brought along two pots of flowers.
"I understand that you brought the 'moon lotus', but why did you bring the other one?" In the carriage, Shang Junlin whispered in Shen Yu's ear.
Shen Yu's hot breath blew into his ear. He tilted his head and said, "I have been taking care of that flower. This time, I might as well bring it along with me."
Initially, Shen Yu only intended to bring "Yue Lian" along. However, when he saw "Jun Ling" in the bedroom, he thought for a moment and brought her along as well. As for the reason, even Shen Yu himself couldn't explain it.
The carriage didn't travel fast. After ten days, they arrived at the summer palace.
These days, Shen Yu was almost always in the carriage. After getting off the carriage, Shen Yu saw Fang Jun come to greet Shang Junlin.
"Why did Your Majesty bring Official Fang here?" Shen Yu remembered that Shang Junlin didn't plan to bring anyone with him this time.
"He needs to deal with some things on my behalf." Although there was a stand-in, it was inconvenient for them to spread news after they went to the Ji clan's land. With Fang Jun outside, he could deal with many things for him.
What's more, the bait had been set. He had to give the person behind the scenes a chance to take the bait.
The layout of the summer palace was very different from the imperial palace. It had the unique elegance of the south. There were rockery, flowing water, corridors, and pavilions. If it wasn't for other purposes this time, Shen Yu would have liked to stay here for a while.
Shen Yu was led by Shang Junlin into the courtyard where they were going to stay.
"Who is Your Majesty's stand-in? I want to see. "
"I am already here. Why is A Yu so greedy?"
Shen Yu said helplessly, "I am just a little curious."
They only stayed in the summer palace for a day. The next day, they changed into casual clothes and left the summer palace.
In order to shorten the time, they chose to ride horses.
After meeting up with Ji Wuwang, they went deep into the mountains under his lead.
After walking in the mountains for two days, Ji Wuwang and his people stopped.
"We are here."
Shen Yu looked ahead. Other than the towering mountains, he couldn't see anything.
Ji Wuwang stepped forward and placed the token in his hand on the mountain wall. Almost in an instant, the fog in the mountains dispersed, revealing a small path.
The small path meandered along the mountain wall, only allowing one person to pass. After walking for about an hour, the path opened up.
What appeared in front of them was a small city in the mountains.
The plants were lush and the scenery was pleasant. It was hard to imagine that such a place was deep in the mountains. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Shen Yu would have thought that such a place was in some small city in the south.
The only thing that didn't match was the buildings. Almost all of them were made of stone and carved with various complicated patterns. The clothes of the people passing by were also different from Da Huan. They used a lot of gauze, and their waists, arms, and other places could be vaguely seen.
Some people noticed their presence and their eyes were filled with curiosity.
"Follow me."
Ji Wuwang led them inside. Everywhere they went, the passersby stopped and bowed to Ji Wuwang. It could be seen that Ji Wuwang's status here was very high.
They were led to one of the most prominent buildings.
"I have just returned to the clan. I still have some things to deal with. You can rest here first. If there is anything you need, just tell them to do it."
Shen Yu looked around. The layout of the room was very luxurious. It was decorated with all kinds of gold and jade. Many of the utensils in the room were made of huge stones. Only a few were made of wood.
A maid brought clean clothes over. "Do the two guests want to wash up?"
Shen Yu picked up one of the clothes. It was obvious that it wasn't Da Huan's style.
