After buying the books, Shen Yu bid farewell to Jiang Huaiqing and He Chengyu.
Jiang Huaiqing was still embarrassed by what happened just now, so he didn't say anything to persuade Shen Yu to stay. They arranged to meet again in the suburbs of the capital and then parted ways.
After returning, Shang Junlin placed the books neatly on the desk. After the awkward moment, Shen Yu also became curious about these books.
He casually took a book, sat on the soft couch, and opened it.
"Let me see what Your Majesty intends to learn from these books."
Shang Junlin also took a book and sat beside Shen Yu, "Naturally, I want to learn how the emperor asked the noble to sleep with him every night."
"Cough, cough." Shen Yu choked on his own saliva. Yes, the books were mixed with bold conjectures. The lives of the noble and the emperor were "colorful". Shen Yu reasonably suspected that the reason why the novels were so popular was related to these "colorful" lives.
"Be careful, noble." Shang Junlin patted Shen Yu's back.
Shen Yu couldn't sit still anymore. He grabbed the book from Shang Junlin's hand and put it aside, "Your Majesty, you should know that the stories in the books are all fake."
I can't have dangerous thoughts!
The temperature in the room was high. Shen Yu felt that his neck was a little itchy, so he reached out to scratch it.
Shang Junlin suddenly grabbed Shen Yu's hand, and his eyes gradually darkened.
"What's wrong?"
"You're bleeding."
Shang Junlin bit the lower part of Shen Yu's neck. As Shen Yu moved, the collar slid down slightly, revealing a mottled area.
After a period of time, the red color became more and more shocking. Among the red marks, several obvious wounds were exposed, and blood was oozing out.
Shang Junlin grabbed Shen Yu's hand with one hand and reached out to Shen Yu's neck with the other hand. He gently touched it, "Does it hurt?"
"Look at what Your Majesty has done." Shen Yu pretended to be angry and glanced at him.
"It's my fault." Shang Junlin took the initiative to admit his mistake.
Looking at Shen Yu who was surrounded by young people, and seeing Shen Yu talking to those young people with a smile, Shang Junlin couldn't help but feel a burst of anger. He wanted Shen Yu to only smile at him, and all the emotions were caused by him …
In the face of millions of enemy troops, Shen Yu's words had caused their strategy to collapse. Their proud self-control was even more vulnerable.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to apologize." Shen Yu looked at Shang Junlin's slightly angry eyes and said, "Your Majesty, please help me apply the medicine."
The medicine was prepared in advance. Shang Junlin took the ointment commonly used in Shen Yu Meridian and applied it little by little.
He applied it to the wound.
The cooling ointment quickly resolved the discomfort of the wound.
The wound on his neck looked scary, but it didn't hurt that much. He didn't feel anything after applying the ointment.
After playing for a day, the palace sent a new batch of memorials. Shang Junlin was busy with official business, so Shen Yu didn't want to disturb him and strolled out.
Eunuch Meng was waiting in the room. Shen Yu called Mu Xi over.
"How did it go?"
"Young master, don't worry. It's all done." Mu Xi went out because she received Shen Yu's orders. She was to contact the people in the farmstead and pass on Shen Yu's orders to them. She also arranged to go to the farmstead while she was at it.
"By the way, young master, this servant met Imperial Physician Gu on the street today." Mu Xi thought of another matter and said, "Imperial Physician Gu asked this servant to bring the new medicine to young master."
Imperial Physician Gu's home was outside the palace, so it was normal to meet him. Shen Yu didn't take it to heart.
Imperial Physician Gu took Gu Huai home and simply tidied up the courtyard. Gu Huai suddenly asked, "Brother, what kind of person is Shen Guijun?"
"Why are you asking this?" Imperial Physician Gu watered the herbs that were growing well.
"I'm very curious." Gu Huai squatted beside Imperial Physician Gu. "Brother, even Mu Xiu is busy with Shen Guijun's matter. He must be a very good person."
"Guijun is indeed a very good person. If there's a chance in the future, I'll take you to meet him."
Late at night.
Gu Huai quietly went out of the room. The man in black who had been waiting outside knelt down and said, "Master."
Gu Huai asked, "How's the investigation going?"
The man in black replied, "Replying to master, this subordinate has received accurate information. His Majesty and Guijun are now outside the palace. This subordinate is incompetent and couldn't find their specific residence."
Gu Huai said, "It's not your fault. If you could easily find out, he wouldn't be Shang Junlin."
The man in black said, "This subordinate also found out that there's some movement on a mountain in the suburbs of the capital recently."
Gu Huai said, "Tell me the specific location."
The man in black said, "Cangqi Mountain."
Cangqi Mountain? Gu Huai lowered his eyes and pondered. No matter whether the two planned to go to Cangqi Mountain or not, he had to go and take a look.
Shang Junlin finished dealing with the government affairs for the day and handed over the matter of Prince Yue to Fang Daren.
Fang Daren was stunned when he received the imperial edict. He originally wanted His Majesty to teach Prince Yue a lesson, but he didn't expect that Prince Yue's matter would fall on his head.
"No!
Isn't it very good? " Miss Fang said while eating melon seeds, "His Majesty gave this matter to you, which means that in His Majesty's eyes, Prince Yue is nothing at all. You can deal with him however you want."
"But …" Fang Daren was still a little worried.
"His Majesty doesn't care. What is father worried about? If it's really as father thinks, dealing with Prince Yue's matter won't fall on father's head. "
"You're right. It's father who is stunned." If there was a problem, His Majesty would definitely remind him. Since the matter was handed over to him, he must do it beautifully.
Fang Daren went to deal with Prince Yue's matter energetically.
Miss Fang wanted to see the two young masters who helped her out of the Yingxing Tower that day, so she found Jiang Huaiqing. Jiang Huaiqing happened to be looking for an opportunity to apologize to Shen Yu in person. The two hit it off and decided to meet Shen Yu together.
Fortunately, before they parted last time, Shen Yu left Jiang Huaiqing a way to find him. It didn't take them much effort to contact Shen Yu.
When Mu Xi told Shen Yu the news, Shen Yu was a little surprised.
Shen Yu put down the pen in his hand. "Why did they come together?"
"It should be that Miss Fang couldn't find a way to contact us, so she found Jiang Huaiqing through the Yingxing Tower," Shang Junlin said.
It didn't take much effort to find out that they ate together that day.
"Your Majesty, are we going to meet her?"
"If A Yu wants to go, we'll go." Shang Junlin gave the choice to Shen Yu.
"Then let's meet." Shen Yu was a little interested in Miss Fang.
The meeting place was still set at the Yingxing Tower. This time, to discuss business, they chose a private room where they wouldn't be disturbed.
When Shen Yu and Shang Junlin arrived, Jiang Huaiqing had already chatted with Miss Fang for a while.
For convenience, Miss Fang wore neutral clothes today. Her makeup was also different from last time. She looked very valiant.
Shen Yu and Shang Junlin sat down together. Jiang Huaiqing was about to say something, but he swallowed it silently.
He'd better wait.
"I invited you without permission to thank the two young masters for helping me out last time. I hope you won't blame me." Miss Fang spoke first.
"It's nothing. You don't have to thank me." Shen Yu said.
The waiter quietly left after serving the dishes. Jiang Huaiqing was just introducing Miss Fang. He knew that Miss Fang had something to discuss with Shen Yu and Shang Junlin, so he didn't stay for long and said goodbye.
"Young Master Yu, may I have a word with you?"
Shang Junlin's eyes turned to Jiang Huaiqing.
Feeling the cold gaze on him, Jiang Huaiqing wanted to cry. He really didn't do it on purpose last time. Wasn't that why he came to apologize?
Shen Yu patted Shang Junlin's arm with amusement, stood up, and walked to the side with Jiang Huaiqing.
"This time, besides being entrusted by Miss Fang, I also want to apologize to Young Master Yu in person. Last time, I really didn't know you were … cough cough … I'm really sorry to disturb you."
Jiang Huaiqing struggled to finish his words under the unkind gaze.
Shen Yu secretly said, "Fortunately, you came. Otherwise, I don't know how long Shang Junlin will continue."
But he said, "So it's because of this. We didn't pay attention. You don't have to apologize to me for this."
Jiang Huaiqing didn't expect Shen Yu to be so calm about this kind of thing. He couldn't help but blush. "This, it's our fault. I wish you two love each other until your hair turns white. Uh …"
Halfway through his words, Jiang Huaiqing accidentally saw the red mark on Shen Yu's neck. He didn't eat pork, but he had seen pigs run. He suddenly stopped.
After hurriedly saying a few auspicious words, Jiang Huaiqing left as if he was escaping.
Shen Yu, who had never seen Jiang Huaiqing so energetic, couldn't help but laugh.
Shen Yu returned to Shang Junlin's side and sat down. Shang Junlin's attention was always on him. He wanted to ask what Jiang Huaiqing said to make Shen Yu laugh. But because Miss Fang was present, he didn't ask.
"Commoner Fang Jiayi greets Your Majesty and Your Highness."
"No need to be so polite."
"How did you guess our identity?" Shen Yu was curious.
"There are only a few people who dare to not be afraid of the nobility. You two really didn't feel any fear because of the identity of the Prince of Yue. Presumably, your identity is not lower than the Prince of Yue. Looking at your close relationship, I can roughly guess your identity." Fang Jiayi answered in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
"Oh?" Shen Yu looked up with interest. "Then how did Miss Fang determine our identity?"
"Because His Majesty gave the matter of the Prince of Yue to my father."
"Miss Fang came to His Majesty and me not just to thank us in person, right?"
"This commoner wants a chance." Fang Jiayi knelt down. "This commoner wants a chance to compete fairly with men."
Shang Junlin held Shen Yu's wrist and didn't say anything.
In the silence.
Fang Jiayi opened her mouth again. "This commoner knows that this commoner's request may be a bit outrageous. But this commoner believes that there are definitely many women in the world like this commoner. Their ambition is to rule the world, and not to stay in the harem."
Shang Junlin's tone was very slow. "Do you know that it is very difficult to achieve this?"
"This commoner knows. But this commoner wants to fight with fate for myself and for the many women in the world who have the same ambition as this commoner!" Fang Jiayi's face was resolute as she said this. Her eyes were shining brightly.
Shen Yu poked Shang Junlin. Shang Junlin said, "I can give you this opportunity. Whether you can seize it or not depends on you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"What does Your Majesty think Fang Jiayi will do?" Shen Yu asked after returning to the small courtyard.
"You will know when you see it."
"The first obstacle is probably Fang Daren. I don't know how Fang Daren will react when he finds out that his daughter went to His Majesty." Shen Yu said.
"This is something that the Fang family needs to worry about." Shang Junlin was obviously more concerned about another matter. He hugged the youth from behind and rubbed the tip of his nose against the side of the youth's neck. "First, tell me what Jiang Huaiqing said to you."
Shen Yu found that Shang Junlin was very obsessed with his neck recently. He often wanted to leave a mark on it.
"What does Your Majesty think he said to me?"
Shen Yu dodged to the side and was caught by the man.
"What did he say to make Your Majesty smile so happily, hm?"
