Not only Shen Yu, but Mu Xi, who was following behind Shen Yu, was also shocked. Shen Yu took after his mother. Even among the other children of the Count of Zhenbei's residence, there was no woman who looked so similar to him.
Shen Yu didn't intend to care about the grievances of the palace people, but after seeing the woman's appearance, he couldn't just stay out of it. Whether it was intentional or accidental, he had to come to a conclusion.
As the sky gradually darkened, Shen Yu simply asked the palace people to take these people back to Yuzhang Palace.
On the way, Mu Xi reported the information she had gathered to Shen Yu.
Mu Xi: "That woman is called Shen Yue. She was sold into the palace when she was young. She is reclusive and doesn't like to communicate with others. Several senior palace maids saw her outstanding appearance and liked to bully her both openly and secretly. Some time ago, Shen Yue got an opportunity from somewhere and changed her usual low-key attitude. She began to walk around the palace wearing beautiful dresses and the jewelry she wore became more and more exquisite day by day."
Shen Yu: "Is her real name Shen Yue?"
Mu Xi: "This servant has asked. She has used this name since she entered the palace. Also, she seems to be involved with a certain force outside the palace. On the fifteenth of every month, she will avoid people and go to the northwest gate. That place is very remote and not many people go there."
Mu Xi was specially trained by Shen Yu and was very talented in gathering information. After Shen Yu entered the palace, there were not many people who could be used, and Mu Xi was one of them.
Shen Yu: "Before today, has something similar happened?"
Mu Xi: "Yes, it can even be said to be a common occurrence. After His Majesty ascended the throne, the harem has been in a state of being without a master. Except for the palace people who don't dare to provoke His Majesty, at other times, they are very … presumptuous."
Shen Yu could understand. The Great Huan Imperial Palace was so big, and the previous emperor was unreliable. The Imperial Palace was the place with the most power struggles, so it wasn't strange for things to happen in secret.
If it weren't for Shen Yu's whim, no noble would have set foot in such a remote place. In such a big palace, there were many places like this.
Mu Xi continued, "However, this palace maid called Shen Yue, in the past, everyone only isolated her and didn't do anything to her. This time, I don't know what angered them, so they tricked her to a remote place to teach her a lesson."
After returning to Yuzhang Palace, Shen Yu basically understood what had happened. Speaking of which, this matter was related to Shang Junlin.
Shang Junlin's bloody methods were not used much on the palace people. The palace people were afraid of him, but after a long time, it was inevitable that they would have some thoughts. At first, it was just small actions, but when they saw that no one cared, their actions became bigger and bigger. Now, they even dared to brazenly spread news outside the palace.
In his previous life, there was a shocking and bloody incident in the Imperial Palace. Because the Emperor was angry, half of the palace people were slaughtered, and blood flowed like a river. During that time, the entire Imperial Palace was soaked in the smell of blood, and the atmosphere in the capital was depressed for a long time.
After this incident, more and more people recognized Shang Junlin as a tyrant. In his previous life, Shen Yu returned to his fief with the King of Yue at this time, so he didn't know the actual situation in the capital. Now, it seemed that there was an inside story behind this massacre.
Shen Yu was half leaning on the chaise lounge. The palace people who were brought back, including that woman, were all kneeling in the main hall. No one dared to say anything.
Everyone knew that the Imperial Palace welcomed a new master who was very favored by the Emperor. However, this Emperor's health was not good, so his range of activities was basically in Yuzhang Palace. Except for the people in Yuzhang Palace, the other palace people didn't have much substantive feelings about Shen Yu's arrival.
"Tell me, why did you bully this palace maid?" Although he understood the general situation, some things still needed to be said by them personally.
"Your Highness, please forgive us. We servants just can't stand Shen Yue's behavior. She's clearly a palace maid, but not only does she not do her job seriously, she even appears in the places that His Majesty must pass by every day …"
Shen Yu understood. This palace maid wanted to have a chance encounter with the Emperor. It would be best if she could be favored by the Emperor and be promoted from a palace maid to a master.
Who asked Shang Junlin, who didn't have any worldly desires, not only did he have feelings for her, but he also doted on her very much. From time to time, he would send rewards to Yuzhang Palace. Shen Yu dared to say that Shen Yue was not the only one in the palace who had this idea.
However, Shen Yu still couldn't figure it out. According to the information that Mu Xi inquired, Shen Yue used to be honest and knew how to protect herself. Why did she suddenly become so ostentatious?
Shen Yu knocked on the armrest, "Shen Yue, do you have anything to say?"
"This servant pleads guilty." Shen Yue bowed her head, but her eyes were full of unwillingness. She was a time traveler. After dropping out of high school, she had no choice but to work in a factory. However, she relied on her good looks and always made the men in the factory work for her and frame beautiful women. She didn't know why, but when she woke up, she arrived in this world.
After understanding the situation from the original owner's memory, Shen Yue couldn't help but feel that her opportunity had arrived. Especially when she found out that her face was more than ten times more beautiful than in her previous life and she was somewhat similar to Shen Guijun, who was currently the Emperor's favorite. She was even more determined to walk the path she wanted to take.
Coincidentally, two days ago, the original owner received an order from someone outside to find a way to get close to the Emperor. It would be best if she could become the Emperor's woman through her own advantages. That person also sent in a lot of beautiful clothes and jewelry.
Shen Yue had never seen these things before and was almost fascinated. She couldn't help but fantasize that if she became an imperial concubine, she would have as many of these things as she wanted.
The person who contacted the original Shen Yue had also promised to help her in the palace. It was a big and round pie. Shen Yue didn't know what the original Shen Yue was thinking, but she was tempted.
Shen Yue had also read a lot of time traveler novels. Connecting her own situation, she was more and more sure that she was the "main character". Otherwise, which Emperor would have an empty harem after a few years of ascension? As for Shen Yue, who had just appeared, Shen Yue firmly believed that she was the villain that she needed to defeat.
Therefore, she dressed up according to the information given by the people outside the palace and frequently appeared in places where the Emperor would pass by.
Unexpectedly, her luck was not very good. The Emperor recently liked to stay overnight in Yuzhang Palace and changed some of his previous habits. She didn't meet him even once.
Even though Shen Yu helped her out, Shen Yue didn't have the slightest bit of gratitude in her heart. She only had a strong sense of jealousy.
Although Shen Yu was a man, he had a face that could make men and women go crazy. Shen Yue boasted that her face was beautiful enough, but compared to Shen Yu, it was like a clumsy imitation.
A man who looked like this, no wonder he was accepted into the harem by the Emperor who didn't like beautiful women. No wonder he could be favored as soon as he entered the palace. Shen Yue almost maliciously thought that no matter how beautiful he was, he was still a man and couldn't give birth to a prince. When she was favored, she must destroy his face!
Shen Yu obviously felt Shen Yue's malice. He felt a little strange. He hadn't done anything yet, so why did he have such a big malice towards him?
Shen Yu thought for a moment and confirmed that no matter if it was in his previous life or this life, there was no such person in his memory.
Shen Yue didn't hide her malice deeply. Mu Xi stood beside Shen Yu, so it could be said that she was the one who faced the malice directly. She frowned and became more and more displeased with this palace maid.
Shen Yu: "Mu Xi, according to the rules of the palace, how should we deal with these people?"
Mu Xi: "Replying to Guijun, according to the rules of the palace, those who maliciously cause trouble should be beaten 20 times."
In such cold weather, who knew if they would still be alive after being beaten 20 times?
The palace maid who committed the crime was so scared that her face turned pale. She kowtowed and begged for mercy: "I beg Guijun to spare my life, I beg Guijun to spare my life!"
"Just deal with them according to the rules of the palace." Shen Yu casually decided the fate of these people.
"As for this one …" Shen Yu's gaze lightly fell on Shen Yue, causing the other party to tremble. "Take her away for interrogation."
"You can't do this!" Shen Yue didn't know where she got the strength to break free from the person who was holding her hostage. "Even if you are Guijun, you can't restrict my freedom!"
"Oh? Then tell me, what should I do? "Shen Yu raised his eyebrows.
"I didn't do anything wrong. You should let me go!"
"How dare you! Who allowed you to be impudent in front of Guijun?
"What's the matter?"
A dignified and low voice sounded. The palace maids knelt down and saluted. Shen Yu also stood up.
The young emperor walked in with a cold aura. He looked around and raised his eyebrows slightly: "What's going on?"
"I'm dealing with a few disobedient palace maids. Is Your Majesty done?"
Because of what happened a few days ago, Shang Junlin was very busy during this period of time. He was almost drowned in all kinds of reports.
"Compared to those things, how can they be more important than you?"
Shang Junlin glanced at Eunuch Meng. Eunuch Meng immediately ordered people to "clean up" the main hall.
The moment she saw Shang Junlin, Shen Yue's eyes lit up. It turned out that this was the current emperor. He was more handsome than she had imagined and more in line with the image of the "male lead" in her mind.
But before she could say anything, her mouth was covered and she was dragged out. Her "male lead" didn't even spare her a glance.
Shang Junlin had good eyesight. With just one glance, he could see that the palace maid was similar to Shen Yu in appearance. He also saw the ambition and covetousness in her eyes.
"Your Majesty," Shen Yu finished explaining what had just happened and continued: "There are many strange things about this palace maid. Her clothes, the accessories she wears, her words and actions … they don't seem like a palace maid who was sent to the palace when she was young."
Shang Junlin: "Did you find anything?"
Shen Yu: "Not at the moment. But this palace maid will regularly send news to the outside of the palace. It's just that we don't know who she is contacting."
Shang Junlin: "I will send someone to investigate."
After the two finished their meal, a palace maid came to report that Shen Yue was making a fuss about wanting to see the emperor.
Shen Yu and Shang Junlin looked at each other: "Let's go and see."
Shen Yu was quite curious about what had happened to Shen Yue. He had a faint guess in his heart that he needed to verify.
Before he arrived, he heard Shen Yue shouting: "I have something very important to say to His Majesty. Go and invite His Majesty here!"
Shen Yu deliberately fell behind Shang Junlin by one step and used his figure to block him. He wanted to listen to what Shen Yue wanted to say.
Seeing the emperor, Shen Yue calmed down and bowed politely: "Your Majesty, this servant is willing to tell you the person behind this. I hope Your Majesty will believe that this servant is on Your Majesty's side."
Then, in one breath, she said the plan of the person behind the scenes without any hesitation.
The corner of Shen Yu's mouth twitched. He began to wonder if this person's brain was not very good.
After speaking, Shen Yue looked at Shang Junlin expectantly. Suddenly, she saw Shen Yu behind Shang Junlin and said in surprise: "Why are you here?
Shen Yu walked out slowly and leaned on Shang Junlin: "His Majesty can't bear to leave me. Naturally, he had to bring me here. You seem to be very unhappy to see me here?"
