Shen Yu wrapped his arms around Shang Junlin's waist and leaned on his shoulder. He didn't say anything.
He didn't know what to say. He knew that some things didn't happen in this life. He also knew that if he couldn't forget it, he would be doing what Prince An wanted. He didn't care about anything else, but he couldn't ignore Shang Junlin.
What happened in his previous life was his biggest secret. He once told Shang Junlin part of it in Prince Yue's dream, but he didn't tell him the rest.
"Even if Prince An really drugged me, it has nothing to do with A Yu. I trusted him too easily. Besides, Prince An didn't succeed. What's A Yu worried about?" On the way back to the palace, Shang Junlin noticed that something was wrong with Shen Yu.
"If my mother didn't bring the medical book, the late Emperor wouldn't have …"
Shang Junlin lifted Shen Yu's face and looked at his blank eyes. His voice was calm and powerful, "Whether there was the medical book or not, with Prince An's temper, he wouldn't have let the late Emperor have an easy time. That's their grudge. It has nothing to do with A Yu's mother who brought the medical book."
"Mm …" Shen Yu responded softly.
Shang Junlin's fingers fell on Shen Yu's face and slowly rubbed it. His other hand went down and pulled Shen Yu into his arms. He kissed Shen Yu comfortingly. Shen Yu slowly closed his eyes.
When Shen Yu woke up the next day, Shang Junlin had already gone to the imperial court. Mu Xi brought hot water and helped Shen Yu wash up. She came back to the capital with Fang Jun some time ago. Shen Yu and Shang Junlin didn't bring her along when they went to the Ji Clan. During this period of time, many things happened in the imperial residence. She was worried about Shen Yu's situation. She only felt relieved when she saw that he was safe and sound.
"What happened in the imperial residence after His Majesty and I left?" Shen Yu asked while tidying up his sleeves.
The weather was getting colder. Shen Yu had already changed into thick clothes. After the "warning" in his body was removed, the insufficiency of his body, which was brought from his mother's womb, was no longer suppressed. He was more afraid of the cold than ordinary people.
"The first few days were the same as usual, but on the tenth day, some unfamiliar faces began to appear. Later on, the number of appearances became more and more frequent. A month later, a large number of unknown forces appeared near the palace. The palace did not have enough manpower, so they did not act rashly. A few days later, the palace was surrounded by these people. The people in the palace were on high alert. This servant thought that a fight would break out, but just as those people were about to make a move, a large number of troops came and restrained them."
Shen Yu knew that the last ones to appear were Shang Junlin's men. Although Shang Junlin was in the Ji Clan's territory, he had not cut off contact with the outside world. They had arranged this to lure the fish to take the bait.
After controlling the forces that appeared near the imperial residence, they did not make it public. Instead, they continued to let those people write back to Prince An, saying that the plan was proceeding smoothly.
After tidying himself up, Imperial Physician Gu also arrived. Shen Yu's body was recovering well. After checking his pulse, Imperial Physician Gu said, "This servant has already discussed with Imperial Physician Wu about the treatment method for you. In seven days, we can start."
Because he participated in the treatment, Imperial Physician Wu also came. After Imperial Physician Gu finished checking his pulse, he also checked Shen Yu's pulse.
When Shang Junlin came back from the morning court, the two imperial physicians had not left yet. The two of them were talking to Shen Yu about some precautions during the treatment.
They needed to make the final adjustments to the prescription according to Shen Yu's physical condition. After ensuring that there were no mistakes, they could give it to Shen Yu. Therefore, the more they knew about Shen Yu's physical condition, the better.
Since the two imperial physicians were there, Shen Yu asked about the medical book and the medicine in the white porcelain bottle.
"Can you really not find out anything about that medicine after taking it?"
"In response to your question, if we didn't know about it in advance, it would be difficult to find out from the pulse. But now that we know about its existence, we naturally have a way to find out." Imperial Physician Gu said.
"As long as any medicine has been used, it will leave traces. For example, the epidemic disease that appeared in Lin County before. If we didn't know in advance that it was caused by humans and didn't know what kind of medicine caused it, we would most likely treat it as an ordinary epidemic disease." Imperial Physician Wu added.
"In other words, if there is a person who has been poisoned, you can find out?" Shen Yu was interested.
"Although there are some difficulties, it is indeed possible."
In terms of medical skills, the two imperial physicians were very confident.
During this period of time, the Imperial Physicians had been studying the contents of the medical book. They had some understanding of the various medicines described in the book. They immediately talked about the medicine in the porcelain bottle.
Before leaving, Imperial Physician Gu hesitated for a moment and said, "This servant has something to say."
Shang Junlin: "Say it."
Imperial Physician Gu: "It's like this. This servant has seen the books in the Ji Family's collection and found that the one Your Majesty sent to the Imperial Physicians is slightly different from the one I read in the Ji Family. Although the appearance is very similar, the texture is not the same. Moreover, according to this servant's understanding, the medical books in the Ji Family are organized according to categories. There won't be a situation where the majority of the books are used to save people and the other half are used to harm people."
Shang Junlin's expression became serious: "Imperial Physician Gu means that this medical book doesn't come from the Ji Family?"
Imperial Physician Gu: "This servant can't answer this question, but this servant is sure that the contents of this medical book have been edited. Or rather, someone deliberately added a part of the contents."
"I understand. You can leave now. This servant will send someone to investigate."
Shang Junlin had always been a man of action. After Imperial Physician Gu left, he immediately ordered someone to investigate. Although it had been a long time and it would be difficult to find anything, this matter must be investigated clearly.
Shang Junlin knew that Shen Yu cared about the medical book. With Prince An's personality, it was not impossible for him to deliberately give such a book to sow discord between them. Even if Shang Junlin didn't mind, he didn't want Shen Yu to have a knot in his heart.
Shen Yu also didn't expect that the medical book matter would have such a twist. However, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was not strange. Prince An's personality was one that didn't want anyone to have a good life. It was indeed possible for him to do such a thing.
Shen Yu rubbed against Shang Junlin's chest. He hoped that this matter would come to light soon.
Shang Junlin intentionally diverted his attention and said, "A Yu, do you want to know where Prince An's three hundred thousand soldiers and horses came from?"
"Were they also left by the late Emperor?" Shen Yu's first reaction was this.
"One hundred and fifty thousand soldiers were left by the late Emperor. The other one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers were secretly raised by him over the years. The late Emperor's one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers and horses were part of the Lin Family's army. After Gu Huai confronted them outside the Capital, those people recognized the other part of the Lin Family's army that returned to the Capital with Gu Huai and led them to change sides on the spot. This battle was far easier than expected."
"If Prince An knew that everything he did was a wedding dress for General Gu, I don't know how he would feel." First, it was the armor and other military supplies left by the Lin Family. Then, it was the Lin Family's army that was incorporated back then. His painstaking planning had all benefited others.
"This servant told Prince An that he wanted to destroy Da Huan. This servant will let him watch helplessly as Da Huan becomes better and better under my leadership."
Even in prison, Shang Junlin didn't want Prince An to have an easy time. Prince An wasn't the only one who could do this.
Prince An wanted to destroy his relationship with Shen Yu and let him taste pain. He would return the same pain.
"How did Your Majesty arrange for those who defected?" With so many soldiers and horses, how to settle them down was also a problem.
"Among these people, many of them were part of the Lin Family's army. This servant asked for their opinions. Some wanted to leave the army, while some wanted to stay. This servant let them go according to their wishes. As for those who stayed, they were separated and sent to different places."
"Did General Gu say anything?" Everyone knew about Gu Huai's identity. He was the descendant of the Lin Family, so he might have some ideas on how to settle these people. Shang Junlin wanted to put him in an important position, so he couldn't let this matter become a barrier between the two of them.
"This arrangement was proposed by Gu Huai," Shang Junlin said.
Although Gu Huai was young, he had experienced many things since he was young. He knew what was best for him. The Lin Family's case was overturned, and the culprits who caused the destruction of the Lin Family would be punished. His brother would also be fine. To Gu Huai, this was the best situation.
With Prince An captured, it was easier for Gu Huai to investigate what happened back then. He was already suspicious of Prince An, so he directly investigated Prince An and found out a lot of things.
There was a drug that had the same effect as the one produced by the Lin Family's elite troops. This was also the main reason for the failure of that battle.
Gu Huai was ordered to clean up Prince An's remaining forces. Everything that Prince An had done over the years was exposed to the world.
Disregard for human life, killing loyal people, killing brothers … each of these things was horrifying.
Gu Huai captured a few of Prince An's confidants alive. He pried open their mouths and found out the details of the Lin Family's matter.
It turned out that the Lin Family was destroyed because they accidentally offended Prince An. Prince An felt that no matter what he did, the Great Huan Dynasty would not be in trouble as long as the Lin Family was still around. Therefore, he coerced and bribed the adjutant of the Lin Family to fabricate evidence that the Lin Family was in cahoots with foreign enemies.
After the incident, he did not give anyone a chance to explain and directly attacked the Lin Family. He lied about the enemy's information and lured the Lin Family soldiers into the enemy's encirclement. Dead men tell no tales, and the crime was confirmed. On the other hand, he sent assassins to infiltrate the Lin Residence. After the deed was done, he burned the Lin Residence to the ground.
Gu Huai went to the palace that night to meet the Emperor. Shang Junlin summoned him to the Imperial Study. Shen Yu also followed.
The young general with a cold aura immediately knelt down and reported the results of the interrogation to the two of them.
"Other than the Lin Family, there were a few other loyal officials who were wronged. Prince An was behind this. Other than that, there is also the matter of this year's epidemic. I have already sorted out the testimonies. Please have a look, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Meng took it and presented it to Shang Junlin.
The more he read, the lower the pressure around Shang Junlin became.
There was also another matter that Shang Junlin ordered Gu Huai to focus on. It was related to the medical book.
According to King An's confidant, the medicine recorded in the medical book was basically a life-saving medicine. After King An got his hands on it, he ordered his subordinates to research it and accidentally created another medicine. A few days ago, for some unknown reason, King An ordered his subordinates to copy the original medical book and create an exact copy. He also specifically instructed them to write in the prescription that they had researched themselves. After it was completed, he destroyed the original.
The medical book that was sent to the Imperial Palace was the copy that Prince An ordered people to copy.
"I told you, A Yu, don't think too much."
Shen Yu also finished reading. He leaned on Shang Junlin's shoulder and said coldly, "Prince An is really unscrupulous in order to disgust people."
He was very good at controlling people's minds. He knew what to do and what to hurt people the most. He also hid it well. In his previous life, Shen Yu did not know that Prince An was the mastermind behind all this.
"Let's not talk about him." Shang Junlin rubbed Shen Yu's hand. "A Yu's birthday is coming soon. This year, I want to give A Yu a big present. A Yu is not allowed to refuse."
