During this time, Yuzhang Palace had been as usual. Li Ping didn't know that his matter had been exposed. When he was brought into the main hall, there was no trace of fear on his face.
"Guijun, the person has been brought." Meng Yuan respectfully saluted.
Li Ping broke free from the two guards who were holding him down and knelt down to salute: "Guijun."
"Do you know why I called you here today?" Shen Yu's tone didn't reveal any joy or anger.
"Forgive me, Guijun, this slave doesn't know," Li Ping kowtowed, "This slave believes that he has never made any mistakes in Yuzhang Palace. I don't know why Guijun wants to capture this slave."
"Is that so?" Shen Yu coldly looked at Li Ping, who had no repentance.
"Please explain, Guijun." Li Ping believed that he couldn't find any mistakes in his actions, so he didn't take Shen Yu's sudden outburst seriously.
Shen Yu had never lost his temper in Yuzhang Palace, and he rarely intervened in the affairs of the palace. Most of the palace servants had a good impression of him. Mu Xi, who served him closely, understood his young master's character, but he wouldn't talk nonsense.
Shen Yu didn't like people to serve him closely. Shang Junlin often came here, so the servants in the room were usually Eunuch Meng and Mu Xi. Although he was the head eunuch of Yuzhang Palace, Li Ping had little time to serve Shen Yu.
He knew too little about Shen Yu, so he thought that Shen Yu was a person who was easy to fool.
"Meng Yuan, tell him why I caught him and let all the palace servants in Yuzhang Palace watch." Shen Yu supported his chin with one hand, his eyes without the slightest emotion.
Li Ping finally felt that something was wrong. Looking around, almost all the palace servants in Yuzhang Palace were here. If it was a small matter, there was no need to go through so much trouble.
For some reason, Li Ping remembered that when Shen Yu first entered the palace, a major event happened in the palace. Blood flowed like a river, and everyone was scared out of their wits.
The only difference was that the palace servants who were punished that day were a group of people. Today, he was the only one who was being judged.
He looked up at the young man sitting on the high seat. His face was the same as usual, but at this moment, there was a murderous aura. In a trance, he felt that the person sitting on the high seat was not Shen Guijun, but His Majesty, who was decisive in killing.
His heart sank bit by bit as panic rose from the bottom of his heart.
Meng Yuan's voice remained unchanged as he read out Li Ping's crimes word by word.
"On the eighth day of the twelfth month, palace maid Xiao Cui was secretly brought to …"
With the announcement of one crime after another, Li Ping's face became more and more defeated.
When he did these things in private, he thought that he was doing it secretly. The people who did it were all palace maids without any foundation. He assumed that they would not dare to speak of it. Relying on his identity as the managing eunuch of Yuzhang Palace, he could be said to be unscrupulous.
Not only that, in order to curry favor with him, some palace servants who knew his preferences would even send people over themselves. Li Ping did not refuse any of them. When he was in a good mood, he would promote a few people to work in Yuzhang Palace.
Shen Yu lowered his eyes, restraining the killing intent in his eyes. Fortunately, he had discovered this early. Otherwise, what would become of Yuzhang Palace? Is Li Ping's backer to satisfy his selfish desires and oppress others with his power?
For a moment, the hall was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
After Meng Yuan finished reading, Shen Yu stood up and looked at Li Ping condescendingly. "Li Ping, do you know your mistake?"
Obviously, he was only wearing ordinary clothes, but his momentum was so oppressive that people did not dare to look directly at him. Li Ping prostrated himself on the ground and kept kowtowing. "This slave knows his mistake. This slave was possessed …"
Everyone in Yuzhang Palace was summoned. Li Ping knew that he could not be kind.
He was wrong. He was wrong. He thought that if Shen Yu did not ask, he would not care about the matters in the palace. He thought that Shen Yu was a soft-hearted person who was easy to fool. Also, if he could be so favored by His Majesty, how could he be a person with nothing but his face?
"If you are wrong, you should be punished. Drag him out and beat him to death."
The two guards ignored Li Ping's crying and begging for mercy and dragged him out.
Shen Yu looked down. "Today, I want to make one thing clear. As a member of Yuzhang Palace, if you are bullied outside, Yuzhang Palace will be your backing. Similarly, if you are like Li Ping, relying on the fact that you are a member of Yuzhang Palace to commit crimes, the first to punish you will also be Yuzhang Palace!"
"Today, I called you here to tell you that from today onwards, the managing eunuch of Yuzhang Palace will be Meng Yuan. Secondly, I want to warn you not to let what happened to Li Ping today become your tomorrow!"
Without giving the palace people a chance to react, Shen Yu took them to the place of execution. In the gradually rising smell of blood, he said coldly, "I don't want today's matter to happen a second time!"
It was the first time that the people of Yuzhang Palace had seen Shen Yu so angry. It was also at this time that they realized that just because Shen Yu didn't manage things, it didn't mean that he really didn't know anything. Li Ping's matter was so secretive that even the people who worked with him didn't necessarily know, but Shen Yu could find out everything in one fell swoop.
Screams and the sound of sticks hitting flesh mixed together, and the smell of blood lingered. Everyone unconsciously tightened their hearts at this moment.
No one noticed that the small group of women who were watching the execution didn't look at the center with fear, but only pleasure.
At this moment, a corner of the haze in their hearts was finally blown away by the wind. Given time, time would wash away the pain in their hearts.
Although Mu Xi had seen a bloodier scene last time, she still felt a little weak in her hands and feet after watching the whole process.
On the other hand, Shen Yu didn't even blink.
After it was over, the palace people dispersed. As soon as Shen Yu entered the room, he was hugged tightly.
"A Yu … A Yu …"
The man buried his head in Shen Yu's shoulder and neck. His hot breath sprayed on Shen Yu's sensitive skin, which gradually turned red.
His waist was firmly shackled by the man. Shen Yu couldn't break free and could only be nibbled and pecked by the man.
The nibbling spread up from his neck.
After a long time, Shen Yu was finally let go.
Shen Yu lay in the man's arms and calmed his breathing for a while. Then, he said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
"It's the first time I've seen A Yu like this. I'm a little excited." Shang Junlin hugged Shen Yu. His eyes were full of black fog.
"Your Majesty is more than just a little excited." Shen Yu felt a certain energetic existence. He said helplessly, "Your Majesty, let me go."
"I won't let go." Shang Junlin's arms tightened, letting Shen Yu closer to him.
Just now, when he sat behind the screen and saw Shen Yu's cold and stern appearance, his heart was burning. He just wanted to hold him in his arms and shut him in the room, not letting anyone see him.
He had already felt the strangeness in his body, but he didn't want to care. As soon as Shen Yu stepped through the door, he couldn't help but follow his heart and hold him in his arms.
Shen Yu was afraid that he would agitate Shang Junlin even more. He didn't dare to move and quietly let him hold him for a while.
"A Yu is so impressive." After a while, Shang Junlin took the initiative to let go of Shen Yu.
"Does Your Majesty like it?" Shen Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
Because of what happened just now, the corners of Shen Yu's eyes were slightly red and there was some moisture in his eyes. Shang Junlin looked more and more happy.
"No matter how you are, I like you very much."
Shen Yu didn't doubt Shang Junlin's words. After all, he had personally experienced it.
"Recently, the King of Yue's people have been targeting Count North." Shang Junlin took Shen Yu to the couch and sat down.
"Because of Shen Qingran?" Shen Yu thought for a while and remembered that he let Shang Junlin divert the trouble last time. "Your Majesty acts really fast."
"Count North is also angry because of the King of Yue's matter. When the King of Yue's people take action at this time, they will hit the wooden warehouse."
Count North was a hereditary noble. The importance of face was not less than that of those aristocratic families. When Shen Qingran lost face, he could still discipline him behind closed doors. However, the King of Yue had invited Shen Qingran to meet him. Wasn't he humiliating them openly?
Count North thought that the Count North was not worse than any aristocratic family. Now, there was a King who was favored by the Emperor. Although Shen Qingran was a concubine's son, he was not someone who could be bullied.
He had not yet found the King of Yue's trouble, but the King of Yue's people came to his door first. How could Count North swallow this anger?
"Both sides have scruples. They don't take any big actions. It's just a small fight." Shang Junlin said some of the secret actions of both sides.
"The news has been spread. How can the people behind the King of Yue sit still?" Shen Yu leaned back. "They are really calm."
"If they are not careful, they will not be unable to find any clues after so many years." Shang Junlin was not surprised by this result.
"Forget it. Take it slow. We have plenty of time to waste with them."
The progress of the matter of the Grand Commandant was slowed down because it involved the Prince. The day of the release of the results was getting closer and closer.
Jiang Huaiqing still kept in touch with Shen Yu. Recently, he sent letters one after another. Most of the topics were about the release of the results.
The time of waiting for the results was always anxious. Even if He Chengyu was calm, he was quite restless these days.
The two people who could not stay calm sat together and talked.
"I don't know where Brother Lin and Brother Yu are working. We still don't know their identities." Jiang Huaiqing scratched his face.
"If you don't know, then why are you writing letters to them every day?" He Chengyu looked at him indifferently.
Jiang Huaiqing: "No one said anything about it. Young Master Yu and I hit it off at first sight. Other than you, Young Master Yu is the only one in the entire capital that I am familiar with. "
He Chengyu: "Have you never guessed their identities?"
Jiang Huaiqing: "I guessed, but later I found out that they were not. Forget it. I didn't get to know them because of their identities. If we are fated to meet, I will naturally know. Young Master Yu didn't say anything because it was inconvenient. He and Young Master Lin got married because of their family. I don't know if he is living well in the Lin Family. Fortunately, Young Master Lin is a good person and treats him wholeheartedly …"
"Pfft." He Chengyu almost spat out the tea in his mouth. "Why are you worrying about other people's family matters?"
He really didn't know what Jiang Huaiqing would think when he found out the true identities of those two people.
If everything went well, he would be able to verify his guess after the court examination.
Shang Junlin was the first to know when the results of the examination came out.
"A Yu, do you want to know the results in advance?" Shang Junlin changed into his court attire and walked over.
"It's already out?" To be honest, Shen Yu really wanted to know. During this period of time, Jiang Huaiqing had been constantly writing to him about this matter, causing him to feel nervous.
Shang Junlin was very familiar with Shen Yu, so he immediately saw the faint nervousness on his face. He laughed and said, "Why are you so nervous when you didn't participate?"
Shen Yu shook his head slightly. He couldn't tell if he was nervous because of the results or because of something else.
This was the first time Shang Junlin saw such an expression on Shen Yu's face. His heart itched, so he moved closer and placed Shen Yu on the short table.
"A Yu, you lost."
The stone in Shen Yu's heart suddenly fell to the ground. He raised his eyes to look at the man above him. He was surrounded by the man's strong arms and surrounded by a biting cold aura. There was no escape.
"A Yu, it's time for you to fulfill your promise." Shang Junlin's eyes were bottomless, as if there was a fire burning in them that could burn everything.
