No matter how calm Shen Yu's mind was, he couldn't help but feel strange at this moment. He didn't expect that the person who appeared in front of him would be the revered emperor of Da Huan.
Shen Yu's understanding of this person came from the King of Yue. It wasn't hard to imagine what he had heard from the King of Yue. Now that he had met him, he felt that many things could only be taken seriously by his own eyes and ears.
Shen Yu raised his wine glass and toasted Shang Junlin with mixed feelings. "Since you came here personally, we can naturally feel your sincerity."
Surprised by the other party's identity, Shen Yu completely ignored the familiar feeling that surged in his heart when he saw the man. He pulled his mind back to the business.
"Let's eat first. There are a few dishes in this restaurant that are not bad." Shang Junlin clinked his glass with the young man and drank the wine in his glass.
The wine was mellow. The dishes were ordered by Shang Junlin who arrived first. He didn't seem to be in a hurry. He didn't talk about business at all during the meal.
Shen Yu wasn't in the mood to eat. He was thinking about the purpose of the man's visit. If it was only to deal with the King of Yue, Shen Yu felt that it was worth it for the man to come here personally.
Then, other than the King of Yue, what else in Yuezhou was worth this young man's personal visit?
Shen Yu thought about the matters in Yuezhou carefully. He couldn't find anything strange.
While he was thinking, there was an extra piece of fish in his bowl. It had no bones. Shen Yu paused for a moment and looked up.
The man in black was looking at him with a smile. He didn't feel that his behavior was inappropriate.
"Sir, you don't have to do this." Shen Yu lowered his head and looked at the fish in his bowl.
"The fish in this restaurant is different from the ones in the capital. I like it very much. Young Master Shen, please try it." Shang Junlin said lightly.
Shen Yu slowly put the fish into his mouth. The fish was delicious. After he finished the fish in his bowl, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of him. Before Shen Yu could react, there was an extra dish in his bowl.
After that, whenever Shen Yu was about to finish eating, there would be one more dish in his bowl.
The strange feeling in Shen Yu's heart became even stronger. It was one thing for the dignified emperor to personally come to see him, but why did he have to take on the responsibility of serving him food?
After finishing the meal with complicated feelings, Shen Yu and Shang Junlin talked about business. After knowing that everything was premeditated, Shen Yu could no longer work for the Prince of Yue without any grudges like before.
"King Yue's hand has stretched too far. He covets what he shouldn't covet, so he has to pay the price. What do you think, Young Master Shen?"
Shen Yu felt that there was a hidden meaning in his words, so he said, "Da Huan has another master. The King of Yue is ambitious, but he doesn't have the ability to match it. If he really succeeds, it will be a disaster for the people of Da Huan."
"What about Young Master Shen?" Shang Junlin put down his wine glass. "What does Young Master Shen think?"
"I am willing to contribute to the Imperial Court." In order to show his sincerity, Shen Yu brought a lot of information about the King of Yue. In these years, he worked for the King of Yue, so he knew more about the King of Yue's power than the Imperial Court.
Then, Shen Yu talked about what he had prepared long ago, about the King of Yue's power, and what he was going to do next.
The former was something he had originally planned to tell the imperial court, while the latter was something he had accidentally said when he was having too much fun with Shang Junlin. Shen Yu could already feel that his good impression of Shang Junlin was too high.
Nearly two hours had passed since the two finished talking. Shen Yu looked at the sky and said goodbye.
Shang Junlin didn't stop him. He sent him to the door and said, "Young Master Shen, if you have anything to do, you can go here. They will follow your orders."
Shen Yu didn't refuse.
Shang Junlin watched the young man leave until he couldn't be seen. When he returned to the house, there were two more people in the house.
"Next, you have to cooperate with Young Master Shen." Shang Junlin sat where the young man sat just now and said.
"Yes."
These two people were the officials of the Imperial Court who were supposed to negotiate with Shen Yu. Unexpectedly, Shang Junlin went to see them directly after learning about this matter. No matter how confused they were, they couldn't change His Majesty's mind. When His Majesty talked with Young Master Shen, they were next door. They came out after His Majesty left.
After Shen Yu went back, he asked his people to come here. Since he had reached an agreement with the Imperial Court, it was time for him to take action.
With his help, the collapse of the King of Yue's power accelerated rapidly. The King of Yue finally panicked. If the previous chaos only affected the external forces, this time it really affected the core of the King of Yue's power.
King of Yue had to ask for help from the person who had been helping him behind the scenes. He didn't know that the person was too busy to take care of himself.
King An's side was solved unexpectedly smoothly. After all, in the other world, Shang Junlin had figured out all of King An's arrangements. This time, the sudden attack was even more unexpected. King An didn't know how he was exposed until he was defeated.
King An was already under control. As for how to deal with him, he only needed to wait for Shang Junlin's order. With Shen Yu's help, the King of Yue's side was also very smooth.
After the cooperation, Shen Yu realized how well prepared the Imperial Court was this time. No matter how hard the King of Yue struggled, he would only be a grasshopper after autumn.
Shen Yu, who was busy, didn't have time to think about too many miscellaneous things. When the matter was over, he realized that he hadn't seen Brother Lin for a while. On the contrary, because of the cooperation, he met Shang Junlin more and more often.
There was another strange thing. He didn't see Brother Lin among the people sent by the Imperial Court. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be, unless Brother Lin was deliberately avoiding him.
What was there to hide? Shen Yu sneered in his heart. Could it be that Brother Lin felt that it wasn't good to appear in front of him again after his identity was exposed? Shen Yu was used to being alone. This time, he just returned to the state of being alone again. He shouldn't care about it.
However, every time he was free, Shen Yu's figure would appear in his mind unconsciously. He also missed the feeling when they were together …
"Young Master Shen, what are you thinking about?" Shang Junlin narrowed his eyes when he saw that the young man was distracted.
This wasn't the first time. As long as the two of them were together, Shang Junlin's attention would always be on him. Shen Yu might not have realized it himself, but Shang Junlin had already noticed it.
Who was the young man thinking about? Why was he showing this expression time and time again? Was it the King of Yue?
Every time he thought of this possibility, Shang Junlin's ruthlessness would increase. He had already found out what those people did to Shen Yu. He also asked the Hidden Dragon Guards to speed up the search for the Ji family. He didn't know how much Shen Yu was affected. Even if it was only a small effect, he didn't want to let those people off easily.
Shen Yu didn't know what the man opposite him was thinking. He stopped thinking and said, "I'm not thinking about anything."
"We caught a few people recently. Would Young Master Shen be interested in meeting them?" Shang Junlin also restrained his emotions and said.
"Who is it?" Shen Yu was curious. For Shang Junlin to mention it, the person who was captured must be extraordinary.
"They are the people who have been secretly controlling King Yue's actions. Young Master Shen should have heard of a saying that spread in Yuezhou a few years ago. This person is related to this matter."
Shen Yu and Shang Junlin went to the dungeon together. The dungeon was modified from a dark room. It couldn't see the sun and the only light came from the torches on the wall.
Hearing the footsteps, the person locked in the dungeon raised his head. When he saw who it was, he subconsciously stepped back to hide.
"He seems to be afraid of you." Shen Yu noticed and said.
Shang Junlin curled his lips and said, "If you have any questions, you can ask him directly."
Shen Yu walked over and squatted down. "I'm very curious. What kind of hatred do you have against me that you have been plotting for so many years?"
The man had been tortured once and was already honest. He answered, "You and I really don't have any hatred. You are that person's child. She ruined everything we planned and caused us to lose our home. Now she is dead. You are her only child. If I don't take revenge on you, who else should I take revenge on?"
"You are also the one who controlled me to work for King Yue?" Shen Yu's eyes darkened. He didn't expect that this matter would involve his mother who had passed away many years ago.
"I don't have such great ability. The thing that controlled you was planted in you by your mother. We were just making use of it." The man's tone was full of malice.
Shang Junlin walked over and said coldly, "You still don't want to be honest?"
Hearing his voice, the man shrank back and didn't dare to have any evil thoughts. He said honestly, "The thing in your body is the Ji Family's sacred object, the 'ring'. It was indeed passed on to you by your mother. Your mother was the Ji Family's Holy Maiden. She wasn't supposed to get married and have children. There has never been a precedent of a Holy Maiden giving birth. It wasn't until we confirmed that you had the 'ring' in your body that we knew that it could be passed on from mother to child regardless of gender."
Then, Shen Yu heard a story from the man about more than ten years ago. It was about the Ji Family, about his mother, and about the 'ring' in his body.
Shen Yu had never found out about these things. When he came out of the dungeon, his expression was still a little absent-minded.
The sky was already dark and a crescent moon hung high in the sky. Shen Yu was digesting the news he had just heard. He didn't pay attention to his feet and tripped.
"Be careful."
A strong arm supported him. Shen Yu stood up and turned to look at the man walking beside him silently. "Thank you."
"Are you thinking about what happened just now?" Shang Junlin asked.
Shen Yu nodded. "I've always been curious about my mother's identity. After investigating for so long, I still couldn't find any clues. It turned out that she was from the Ji Family. Even the name I knew was fake."
Shen Yu couldn't tell what he was feeling. He sighed.
"What are your plans after Prince Yue's matter is over?" Shang Junlin deliberately revealed this matter to Shen Yu. In order to solve the hidden danger in Shen Yu's body, the Ji Family had to take action. Instead of explaining things at the last minute, it was better to let Shen Yu discover the truth himself.
Shen Yu did find out some news about the Ji Family's involvement these days. When he heard those words, he didn't feel that it was too unbelievable. He just didn't expect that he was also involved with the Ji Family.
As for his future plans …
Shen Yu's eyes flashed for a moment.
"Is Young Master Shen willing to enter the court as an official?" Without waiting for Shen Yu to think of a result, Shang Junlin continued, "With Young Master Shen's talent, you will definitely become a pillar of the Great Huan Dynasty."
Shen Yu didn't expect to hear these words from the Emperor of the Great Huan Dynasty. The blankness in his eyes was replaced by shock. Under the moonlight, he stared at the handsome young Emperor. He couldn't tell what he was feeling.
He didn't even notice that the other's arm was still supporting him. The shadows of the two people were intertwined. From a distance, it looked like the young man was being held in the arms of the tall man in black.
"Your Majesty …"
The official who came to report something important stopped and stared in front of him, dumbfounded.
So, the real reason why His Majesty personally came to Prince Yue's fief was because of Young Master Shen?!
