Shen Yu's smile slowly disappeared. He did not know if something like this had happened in his previous life and Jiang Huaiqing had been implicated. However, in this life, those people had already set their sights on Jiang Huaiqing.
Jiang Huaiqing had written the letter in a joking tone. It was obvious that he did not take this matter seriously.
Shen Yu turned to look at Shang Junlin. The man's face was terrifyingly dark.
"Your Majesty?"
"I did not know that there were people who had the guts to do this! No wonder, no wonder they fought so hard over the invigilation of the exam. "
"Your Majesty, don't be angry. We are not sure if this matter is true or not. Let the Hidden Dragon Guards investigate first." Shen Yu comforted.
"Investigate! We must investigate thoroughly! "
"Send someone to Jiang Huaiqing first. We might be able to catch them red-handed." Shen Yu turned around and faced Shang Junlin. "Since they took action, they must not only have their eyes on Jiang Huaiqing. We must send someone to keep an eye on the other students, especially those who are similar to Jiang Huaiqing."
"Do as A Yu says." Shang Junlin held Shen Yu's wrist. His eyes were bloodthirsty and cold.
"I will write a letter back to Jiang Huaiqing and ask him not to act rashly." Shen Yu pinched the letter. "Other than you and me, I am not sure if anyone else has seen this letter."
Shang Junlin thought for a while. "We can rest assured. It depends on whether the person who delivered the letter to Jiang Huaiqing is trustworthy."
"Don't worry too much. We are using another identity to communicate with Jiang Huaiqing. Even if someone else saw this letter, they would not think that this letter would end up in our hands." Shen Yu said.
"That's right. It's all thanks to A Yu this time. If it weren't for A Yu and Jiang Huaiqing's acquaintance, he wouldn't have told us about this. Perhaps we'll only know how daring these people are after the incident."
Shang Junlin planted a kiss on Shen Yu's forehead: "A Yu is my lucky star."
Seeing that Shang Junlin had calmed down, Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "Thanks to Your Majesty for bringing me out of the palace."
"Actually, I feel that we should thank Prince Yue for this matter." Chen Yu deliberately adjusted the atmosphere. "If it weren't for Prince Yue causing such a big commotion, we wouldn't have met Jiang Huaiqing."
"If that's the case, I should thank A Yu even more. If A Yu hadn't suggested sending letters to all of King Yue's beauties, the Yingxing Tower incident wouldn't have happened." Thinking of this, Shang Junlin chuckled.
"That's right." Shen Yu's lips curled up.
Everything was predestined. If any of them were missing, the outcome wouldn't have been achieved.
After Shen Yu finished writing the letter, he first showed it to Shang Junlin. Then, he handed the letter to the Hidden Dragon Guards and sent it to Jiang Huaiqing.
At this time, Jiang Huaiqing was talking to He Chengyu.
"You don't know how interesting that person is. He stopped me and said that I was the chosen one. As long as I listened to him, it wouldn't be a problem for me to become the champion. Am I such a stupid person? Unless he's the Emperor himself. Oh, no, even if it's the Emperor himself, he can't influence the results of the exam."
In order to ensure absolute fairness, the person marking the exam papers couldn't see the names and identities of the candidates. Only after marking the papers could they see the results.
"When did he find you?" After hearing Jiang Huaiqing's words, He Chengyu's expression became serious.
Stunned by He Chengyu's attitude, Jiang Huaiqing said hesitantly, "Isn't that person a liar?"
He Chengyu saw that Jiang Huaiqing didn't realize the problem and explained patiently, "Think about it. Why would a liar cheat at such a sensitive time? Since he dared to say it, he might have some connections. "
"Huh?" Jiang Huaiqing was stunned.
After a while, he widened his eyes in disbelief. "You, you're saying that he asked me to cheat?!"
"Lower your voice." He Chengyu stood up and covered his mouth. "The walls have ears."
Jiang Huaiqing nodded and signaled that he wouldn't talk nonsense. He Chengyu then let go of him.
"What should I do now?" Jiang Huaiqing was stunned.
If it was exposed, as someone who had interacted with that person, all his results would be canceled.
"Don't worry, I'll think of a way." He Chengyu looked down and thought about what the He family could use to solve this problem.
He Chengyu knew how important this exam was to Jiang Huaiqing. He also knew that with Jiang Huaiqing's ability, he would definitely get a good result if there were no accidents. However, something like this happened …
Jiang Huaiqing stood up anxiously. "I also told Young Master Yu about this. Will it bring him trouble?"
Da Huan had always been strict about investigating fraud. After Shang Junlin took over, he had zero tolerance for fraud. If something really happened, he wouldn't be able to escape and Young Master Yu would also be implicated.
"I shouldn't have written the letter …"
"What did you say?" He Chengyu stood up abruptly.
Jiang Huaiqing was shocked and whispered, "I said I shouldn't have written the letter …"
"Not this sentence." He Chengyu interrupted him.
"I said I wrote the letter and told Young Master Yu about this. I don't know if Young Master Yu and the others will be implicated." Jiang Huaiqing didn't understand why He Chengyu's reaction was so big, but he still repeated what he just said.
He Chengyu suddenly sighed in relief. "It's okay, they'll be fine."
"Why?" Jiang Huaiqing didn't understand.
Because the identities of those two people were not simple. It was very likely that they were Her Majesty and Guijun themselves. He Chengyu answered in his heart.
After the two sides met, He Chengyu used the He family's influence to investigate the capital. He couldn't find any information about those two people. It was as if they had appeared out of thin air.
Combining the matters of Yingxing Tower and Cangqi Mountain, He Chengyu roughly came to a conclusion about those two people's identities. If it was as he thought, then everything that didn't make sense could be explained.
"Knock, knock."
The sudden knocking on the door interrupted their thoughts.
Jiang Huaiqing stood up to open the door.
There was an unfamiliar man standing at the door. Before he could ask, the man took out a letter and handed it to him. "Young Master Yu said that you will understand after you read it."
It was a reply from Young Master Yu. Jiang Huaiqing was slightly relieved. He took the letter and walked back into the house.
"Young Master Yu replied so quickly. Brother Chengyu, do you mind if I open it now?"
He Chengyu shook his head.
Jiang Huaiqing opened the envelope and took out the letter. The more he read, the more serious his expression became.
After a while, he kept the letter. "Young Master Yu and Brother Chengyu said the same thing. They asked me to be careful during this period and not to alert the enemy. They also asked me to focus on preparing for the exam and not to worry about anything else. There will be professionals to take care of it."
"Since Young Master Yu said so, just do as he said. That person must have found more than one person. We have to be careful during this period."
"I know."
The next period of time was calm. Perhaps it was because Jiang Huaiqing knew some things, but he felt that it was the calm before the storm.
The Hidden Dragon Guards secretly infiltrated the student activity areas and gradually locked on to a few targets.
Shang Junlin received feedback from the Hidden Dragon Guards every day. Things were progressing in an orderly manner.
King Yue's men also started to take action.
In the imperial court, a minister stood up and requested for the matter to be settled quickly.
"Your Majesty, no matter what, King Yue is still a noble. We cannot keep him locked up in the secret prison."
King Yue's matter involved too many women. To protect the reputation of these women, his actions were not announced and he was locked up under another name.
Furthermore, Official Fang did not announce what he found out. Other than those who were well-informed or whose daughters were involved, most of the people did not know what King Yue had done.
Official Ma was one of those who spoke up.
Some time ago, someone had given him a lot of benefits. As long as he mentioned it in the imperial court, regardless of the outcome, he would be rewarded handsomely.
Official Ma thought that it was just a matter of saying a few words. He was an imperial censor and his job was to advise the emperor. It was not a big deal for him to say a few words for King Yue.
"Oh? Then what do you think I should do? "Shang Junlin supported his chin with one hand and looked down at the ministers.
"This …" Official Ma was at a loss for words. He did not dare to directly ask Shang Junlin to release King Yue.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten the promise you made to the late emperor?" An old minister stood up, "Or did King Yue commit the crime of treason?"
The moment the old minister finished his words, the imperial court fell silent.
Shang Junlin knocked on the armrest of the throne with an unreadable expression on his face.
"All of you also think that I should release King Yue?"
Some of the ministers who joined the imperial court later were confused. They looked at each other and did not dare to speak.
A few of the ministers who were in the imperial court when the late emperor was still on the throne looked at each other and stood up, "Your Majesty's words are of gold and jade. You should not change your words so easily."
Even though Shang Junlin had expected this, he was still furious. Why did he value the imperial examination so much? It was to train new officials as soon as possible and replace these stubborn old officials!
Shang Junlin glanced at the ministers one by one and stood up, "All of you should know that I am in charge of Da Huan now. I have my own plans for King Yue. Ministers, you don't have to worry about it!"
"Court is dismissed."
With that, he flung his sleeves and left.
The ministers looked at each other in confusion.
"This … What is going on?"
After a moment of silence, someone could not help but ask.
"Who knows what King Yue is thinking. Wouldn't it be better for him to leave peacefully? Why does he have to stay in the capital?"
"His Majesty is really … getting more and more disobedient."
"He has always been like that. Otherwise, he wouldn't have …" The person who spoke suddenly stopped. "Official Ma, why did you mention King Yue out of the blue?"
As if they had found an opportunity to attack, the ministers surrounded Official Ma.
Official Ma wanted to cry but had no tears. He did not know that there would be such a big impact.
Shang Junlin walked to the back of the hall and saw the young man standing by the window. He paused.
The young man was wearing white clothes with a light blue gauze outer garment. His long hair was not tied up and was gently draped behind his back. He looked like an elegant young master.
"Why is A Yu here?"
Shen Yu's range of activities in the palace was fixed in Yuzhang Palace. This was the first time Shang Junlin saw him come to the main hall of the court to find him.
Hearing the sound, Shen Yu turned around, "I came to see if His Majesty was bullied."
Shen Yu came very early. He could hear the movements in the front of the hall from the back of the hall. He heard the ministers using the former Emperor to pressure Shang Junlin. He also heard Shang Junlin's angry voice.
However, he also knew that all of this was part of Shang Junlin's plan. He wanted to fish out the backup plan left by the former Emperor for King Yue.
When the beauty smiled, it was like a flower blooming in the clouds. Shang Junlin did not have the mind to think about the ministers. He walked quickly to Shen Yu's side, "If I was bullied, what would A Yu do?"
"What does Your Majesty want me to do? Go to the front of the hall and scold them? "Shen Yu raised his eyebrows.
"No, no, how can A Yu's mouth be used to scold people? Wouldn't it be too convenient for them? "Shang Junlin leaned closer and said with a hidden meaning." A Yu only needs to comfort me. "
