The man was like an enraged lion. Shen Yu could feel the dangerous aura coming from the man, but strangely, he was not afraid at all.
Why is he so angry?
Is it because of me?
There was no need to verify, the answer was obvious.
Shen Yu raised his head and met the man's gaze. He saw a burning flame in the man's eyes, and this flame was burning because of him. Realizing this, his heart started to beat violently uncontrollably.
After a long time, Shen Yu looked away, but Shang Junlin did not allow him to escape. He pinched his chin and made him maintain his original position.
"A Yu, remember my words?"
Shen Yu chuckled and raised his eyelids: "Why is Your Majesty angry? I'm just an insignificant person. Now that King Yue's matter is over, I have no other use. If it's just an act, this play should be over. "
"You think I'm acting?" The burning flame burned even more fiercely. Shang Junlin almost laughed out of anger: "Do you think it's necessary for me to go through so much trouble to deal with King Yue? Even to the extent of sacrificing myself? "
The smile in Shen Yu's eyes did not diminish: "Otherwise?"
"I'm doing this for you!" Shang Junlin said angrily.
When his voice fell, the expression on Shen Yu's face froze for a moment, as if he couldn't believe it: "For me?"
"Yes," Shang Junlin rubbed the delicate skin on the young man's chin with his fingers, slightly narrowing his eyes: "From the beginning to the end, I came for you. As long as you are here, even if King Yue is not here, I will come in person."
As if he was shocked by the man's words, Shen Yu did not respond for a long time. Looking at the young man who seemed to be in a daze, Shang Junlin felt distressed.
He softened his tone and said: "You have made a great contribution to King Yue's matter. You don't have to sacrifice yourself for such a person. Take good care of your body and leave the rest to me, okay?"
Sacrificing himself for King Yue, Shang Junlin sneered in his heart. How could he allow such a thing to happen?!
Whether he lived or died, King Yue could forget about having anything to do with his A Yu!
Shen Yu stared fixedly at Shang Junlin. He saw the stubbornness, dominance, and deep affection in his eyes … This man was the emperor of Da Heng. He had everything, but he was willing to put down his status for him.
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't moved, but Shen Yu was also very clear-headed. He was a monarch, a minister, and a minister who worked for a traitor. There were too many things between them.
"Even if His Majesty doesn't pursue the matter, the court officials won't treat it as if nothing happened." If he didn't care about Shang Junlin, he could let him do whatever he wanted. However, Shen Yu cared. He didn't want this young emperor to bear a bad name because of him.
Shang Junlin's heart softened when he felt the young man's softening. "A Yu, don't worry. No one will say anything."
"Your Majesty, you don't have to do this. I will take responsibility for what I did …"
Before Shen Yu could finish, Shang Junlin interrupted, "A Yu betrayed King Yue because of me. If I don't do anything, I will feel uneasy."
Hearing this, Shen Yu looked at him with a complicated expression. "Your Majesty's ability to invert right and wrong is beyond my reach."
Shang Junlin wasn't disturbed at all. "Isn't that so? Then A Yu, tell me, why did you suddenly agree with the court halfway? "
Shen Yu was speechless. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that this matter indeed had something to do with Shang Junlin. If Shang Junlin didn't appear, he definitely wouldn't have turned to the court so easily.
"A Yu did these things because of me. He also helped me solve a big problem. His merits far outweigh his faults. There's no need to mention the past."
The court acted too quickly. King Yue didn't even have time to react before his forces were uprooted. The news of King Yue and King An's attempted rebellion caused an uproar in the court.
At this time, the ministers in the court finally knew what the Emperor had been doing during this time. They thought to themselves, "Your Majesty really doesn't make a move. Once you make a move, it's like a thunderbolt."
Shen Yu didn't know what Shang Junlin had done. His identity directly became a person who was ordered to find evidence of King Yue's rebellion in the fief of King Yue. The key was that no one objected to it.
After King Yue was arrested, the imperial army cleaned up the remaining forces in the fief of King Yue. After leaving a few officials to deal with the aftermath, Shang Junlin returned to the capital with his people.
Shen Yu didn't have time to react before he was packed up and taken into the returning team.
Shang Junlin was very busy these days. After that day, Shen Yu didn't see him for several days. However, he was invited by many officials from the imperial court. They didn't have any reaction to his change of identity. It seemed that this was how it should be. Shen Yu began to doubt whether he had really received such a secret edict before he came to the fief of King Yue.
Not only him, but his subordinates also had the same doubts. Jiang Huaiqing was appointed as a representative to inquire about this matter.
On the carriage back to the capital, Jiang Huaiqing poured tea for Shen Yu. "Young master, those rumors …"
Shen Yu only knew what Jiang Huaiqing asked. Shang Junlin said that he would deal with this matter. Shen Yu didn't care about the follow-up. Unexpectedly, the other party directly made a big move. With the premise that he was ordered to come here, no matter what he did for King Yue before, he couldn't be investigated.
Shen Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip. "It doesn't matter whether the rumors are true or not. When everyone believes it, the false will become true."
Just like now, Shen Yu's resume had become beautiful. When he returned to the capital, he could accept the reward and start over in the capital.
"I didn't expect that His Majesty would be so considerate for young master." As Shen Yu's confidant, Jiang Huaiqing already knew that the young master Lin who interacted with Shen Yu before was His Majesty in disguise. With his understanding of the emperor of Dahuan, if this matter didn't really happen to Shen Yu, he wouldn't believe it.
The more he knew, the more he couldn't doubt His Majesty's intentions. However, Jiang Huaiqing was still very worried about his young master. Since ancient times, emperors were fickle. Who knew if today's affection would become a sharp blade that pierced the vital point in the future?
"Huaiqing, what are your plans in the future? His Majesty already knows the inside story of the imperial examination. Do you want to take back the achievements you deserve? "
"It's good for me to follow young master. It's boring to enter the imperial court as an official." Jiang Huaiqing was stunned for a moment and answered.
"Don't worry. You can think about it slowly. Tell me when you've made up your mind."
The young man held the hot tea with both hands. The dense steam rose and blurred his delicate eyes. Jiang Huaiqing's stirred emotions slowly calmed down.
He really didn't want to continue to enter the imperial court as an official. After such a thing happened, it was impossible to say that there was no knot in his heart. The current situation was very good.
Shen Yu wouldn't force his subordinates. After all, he wouldn't treat them unfairly.
"When I return to the capital this time, I don't know what expression Count North will have when he sees me and Shen Qingran."
His favorite child became a criminal who plotted a rebellion, and his son, who was not favored since childhood, became a great hero who quelled the rebellion. Thinking of the wonderful expression that might appear on the face of Duke Zhenbei, Shen Yu became expectant.
Before he returned to the capital, the deeds of Shen Yu had been spread in the capital. The officials who didn't know the truth came to congratulate Count North.
"Like father, like son. We haven't heard from young master Shen for a long time. Who would have thought that he quietly made such a great contribution. It's really enviable that Count North has such a son."
"Count North has a successor."
"You flatter me. It's just a small contribution. It's not worth mentioning." Count North was happy, but his feelings were very complicated.
He had never paid much attention to Shen Yu, his son. The relationship between the two fell to the freezing point because of the incident of entering the palace. This time, Shen Yu made a great contribution. For Count North, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
The Residence of Count North became lively again because of Shen Yu. Outsiders didn't know the inside story and only thought that with such a great contribution in hand, the Residence of Count North had a promising future. Some people even asked about Shen Yu's marriage situation, wanting to use the marriage to further deepen the relationship with the Residence of Count North.
Shen Yu knew nothing about this. On the other hand, Shang Junlin was furious when he heard the news from the capital.
The Hidden Dragon Guard who delivered the news knelt down. He felt the pressure around him getting lower and lower. He didn't even dare to breathe.
Shang Junlin rubbed the letter in his hand. He had indeed neglected this point. Shen Yu was old and had made a great contribution. It was not strange that the old foxes in the imperial court would be tempted.
After a long time, the Hidden Dragon Guard heard a voice that was neither happy nor angry.
"Tell Count North that I have my own ideas about young master Shen's marriage. Tell him not to make a decision on his own."
When the Emperor's order came, Count North was already looking for Shen Yu. The marriage was a matter between the two families. He saw a few families who had made great contributions in the imperial court. If they were successful, Count North could use this opportunity to improve.
The Emperor said. Count North had no choice but to suppress his reluctance.
"Count North, you don't have to worry. Since His Majesty said so, we can see that he thinks highly of young master Shen. If His Majesty thinks highly of young master Shen, young master Shen will definitely make great contributions in the imperial court. Moreover, the marriage arranged by His Majesty will only be better than what we see."
"You're right." Count North ignored the uneasiness in his heart. He ordered people to tidy up the biggest courtyard in the Count North's residence for Shen Yu to live in.
Madam Ru, who originally wanted to do something to Shen Yu's marriage, was so angry that she smashed everything in the house when she heard the news.
Not many people knew that Shen Qingran had escaped from the palace. Shang Junlin didn't care if there was such a person in the palace. Even the people in the Count North's residence didn't know about it. This time, Shen Qingran would return to the capital with a criminal record and give them a big 'surprise'.
The carriage was shaking. It was getting closer and closer to the capital. On this day, the weather was clear. The carriages stopped by the river for a short rest.
Shen Yu had stayed in the carriage for many days. He took the opportunity to come out and get some fresh air.
Several ministers who were returning to the capital with him saw him and wanted to talk to him. Suddenly, they saw a man in black walking over and pulling his companions away.
Shang Junlin didn't hide his preferential treatment of Shen Yu. After getting along with him for many days, it was hard for them not to know. When they saw Shang Junlin coming over, they naturally avoided him and left some space for the two of them.
"A Yu."
Shen Yu turned around: "Has His Majesty finished his work?"
Shang Junlin was busy dealing with the affairs of Prince Yue and Prince An. They hadn't seen each other for many days.
Shang Junlin nodded and walked towards Shen Yu: "I heard some news from the capital. A Yu's father is looking for a suitable wife for A Yu. What kind of wife does A Yu want to marry?"
"He's quite a busybody," Shen Yu leaned against the tree, "Did His Majesty come just to talk to me about this?"
"I came to tell you that I have passed down the order. Your marriage will be arranged by me."
The distance between the two of them was getting closer and closer. Shen Yu stared at the man for a while. Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed the man's collar and pulled hard.
"What kind of marriage does His Majesty plan to arrange for me?"
Shang Junlin put one hand on the trunk behind Shen Yu and covered the young man under his body: "What kind of wife does A Yu want?"
The two of them were too close. Their breaths were intertwined. Except for Shang Junlin, Shen Yu had never been so close to anyone. When the man spoke, his warm breath sprayed on the young man's face. Shen Yu subconsciously tilted his head. He didn't know what to think, but he stopped himself from tilting his head.
"Is His Majesty really willing to arrange a marriage for me?"
Chen Yu didn't know why he asked this question, but this question had undoubtedly broken the barrier that the two of them had tacitly erected between them.
Their relationship had been maintained at a very subtle point. If they took a step forward or a step back, the result would be different. Before, the two of them tacitly stopped their relationship at this subtle point and didn't break it.
Today, Shen Yu tentatively took a step forward.
He stared at the man's face and saw that after he said this sentence, the man's eyes instantly darkened. His dark eyes were like a bottomless abyss that wanted to suck the person in front of him in.
