The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits

Shen Yu asked this because he suddenly thought of another role of "Scarlet Dream": it was deliberately used to create an epidemic.

In the previous life, Shen Yu personally experienced this scene of purgatory. Since someone in the previous life would use "Crimson Dream" to create an epidemic, what about this life?Gu Huai has been looking for clues about "Scarlet Dream", did he know something?

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Shen Yu knew that if he wanted to prove this point, asking Gu Huai directly was the quickest way.

Shen Yu: "Your Majesty, can you let Gu Huai enter the palace?"

Shang Junlin: "Does Ah Yu know something?"

Shen Yu: "The defeat of the Lin family army is too weird, and Gu Huai is also investigating the matter of 'Feng Meng', does your majesty still remember what I said about 'Feng Meng' before, there is a new drug made by mixing certain medicines , can make people show the characteristics of being infected with the disease, I suspect that the defeat of the Lin family is inseparable from 'Scarlet Dream'."

Gu Huai's real identity has not been announced to the public for the time being, because of the Lin family's affairs, he has become the person who has attracted the most attention from the ministers of the DPRK and China during this period.

All kinds of invitations keep coming, and there are countless people who want to befriend him, and many aristocratic families have taken a fancy to his identity and appearance, and want to betroth their daughters to him.

The latter were always rejected.

"Doesn't Xiao Huai want to marry a well-educated and reasonable woman back?" Imperial Physician Gu asked as he put the dried medical books back.

"Brother wants me to marry?" Gu Huai paused.

"When you grow up, you should have your own home."

Gu Huai tightened his grip on the scroll, and was about to say something when there was a knock on the door.

It's someone from the palace.

Gu Huai went out for a while, and came back after a while, and said, "Brother, I'll go into the palace."

The emperor called, he could only go.

Gu Huai was taken all the way to the imperial study by the little eunuch.

"I see Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Seeing the two of them, Gu Huai saluted.

"You don't need to be too polite, come and watch."

The serving eunuch moved a chair, and Gu Huai sat down with his robe lifted.

"I announce you to enter the palace today, I want to ask you something about the Lin family, to be precise, I want to ask about the Lin family army." Shen Yu put down the teacup and spoke.

Gu Huai is used to Shen Yu and Shang Junlin's way of getting along: "I don't know what your lord wants to know?"

"I want to know, was there another secret behind the defeat of the Lin family army? Is this secret related to 'Scarlet Dream'?"

"Your Majesty is very aware of this matter. There is indeed something hidden about this matter. In the early years, I rescued a cook who used to work in the Lin family army. He told me that the Lin family army was in a very bad condition before that expedition. It seemed that he had some kind of emergency. However, no one reported such a big matter, or it was suppressed." Now that he had guessed it, Gu Huai no longer concealed it.

"Why didn't you tell Fang Jun about these things?" Shang Junlin frowned.

"Because I don't have conclusive evidence in my hands, the cook died shortly after being rescued. Except for this person, I can't find any witnesses related to the events at that time."

Gu Huai knew that Mr. Fang was a good official who enforced the law impartially. He had explained all the evidence to Mr. Fang, and he was not fully sure about the rest.

"I have been investigating in secret for so many years, but I have never found out who did this. All the clues have been completely broken, so I thought, instead of speaking out to scare the snake, it is better to continue to investigate in secret."

"You proposed to overturn the case for the Lin family, and you were already scaring the snake. If the person who did these things was still alive, he would definitely be vigilant and even take action. If you don't say anything, it will only make your situation more dangerous. "

"I know."

"You want to use yourself as a bait to catch the person who attacked the Lin family? But have you ever thought that that person may no longer be there?" The depressed voice was deep.

From the accident in the Lin family to the present, too many things happened in between. Just when Shang Junlin came to the throne, he executed many people in the court, and maybe the one who attacked the Lin family was among them.

"It's the minister who didn't think carefully."

"Now, are you still unwilling to tell the truth? You already have a suspect in your heart, don't you?" Shen Yu rested his chin, as if he didn't know how much his own words caused a thunderbolt in Gu Huai's heart.

"I do have doubts, but I can't say it. I don't have any evidence in my hand. Even if your lord is willing to believe what you say, I can't hurt your lord because of this matter. I hope that your majesty and your lord can give me some time. The minister will surely find evidence."

Speaking of this, it's not good for Shen Yu to force Gu Huai to say anything.

"Your Majesty, who do you think is the one who did this?" After Gu Huai left, he leaned heavily on Shang Junlin's body and asked.

"Could it be the first emperor?"

"Probably not. If he wants to kill someone, he can just choose any reason. There's no need to do anything extra."

The case of the Lin family involved a lot of people, and they were ordered by Shang Junlin to deal with these people. Fortunately, after Shang Junlin became the throne, the officials of the imperial court underwent a major change, which did not affect the current officials.

The aristocratic family was too tired to deal with this matter, and couldn't spare a hand to manage what happened among the people. Taking this opportunity, under the instruction of Shen Yu and Shang Junlin, movable type printing was further promoted.

Not only the capital, but bookstores in other places have also learned this method.

When the aristocratic family reacted, they could no longer easily intervene in this matter.

At this point, how could they fail to notice that Shang Junlin had been involved in this matter from the beginning to the end.

"Your Majesty is really good at planning. He used the Lin family's affairs to divert attention, and caught us off guard." Officials from the aristocratic family gathered together to discuss this matter.

"Are we going to let it go? If things go on like this, what advantage will the aristocratic family have in the future?"

"Otherwise? What can we do? Why openly confront him? Not to mention the court controlled by him now, but a few years ago, how many people who opposed him would have a good end?"

"What His Majesty wants to do will never stop here. Let's see, the next thing will only make the family even more unacceptable."

With the deepening of the case of the Lin family, more and more inside information was unearthed, and those former officials who were wronged because of this incident were able to reverse the case. Every day, there will be new developments about this matter in the Minbao.

After discussion, the imperial court will give these people a certain amount of compensation. Although the damage caused is irreparable, it can make up for a little bit.

After waking up from the afternoon nap, Mu Xi brought me the snacks she wanted to eat: "My lord, 'Yinghuo' has returned with a message."

"Huh?" Shen Yu was not yet fully awake, her voice was nasal.

"It came from Beimo." Mu Xi put the snacks on the table beside him, took out a secret letter, and handed it to Shen Yu.

When Jiang Huaiqing went to Beimo alone, Shen Yu sent "Yinghuo" people to follow him. After several months, "Yinghuo" sent news back.

Shen Yu unfolded the secret letter and read it one by one.

The letter wrote about "Yinghuo"'s arrangements in Beimo and the news he heard, as well as Jiang Huaiqing's progress.

After arriving in Beimo, Jiang Huaiqing came into contact with a minister based on Da Huan's people who stayed in Beimo. After being appreciated by him, he was recommended to the third prince who was a contender for the throne.

After becoming the third prince's aide, Jiang Huaiqing successfully helped the third prince to win the power struggle with the second prince, and severely suppressed the second prince. The third prince was in a good mood and promoted Jiang Huaiqing's position regardless of opposition. The prince accomplished several difficult tasks and became the third prince's confidant.

By the time the secret letter was sent, Jiang Huaiqing had already had a place beside the third prince, and he valued it very much, and the third prince would also value his opinions.

Shen Yu's side got the news, and Shang Junlin's side naturally got it too. Yin Longwei pretended to be a servant and followed Jiang Huaiqing, so as to protect him and get the most accurate news at the same time.

"Did Ah Yu know that Jiang Huaiqing was up to the task?"

"Jiang Huaiqing is a man who knows how to adapt and does not stick to trivial matters. When he proposed this plan, he was the No. 1 person I thought of." Shen Yu did not deny this.

"When he comes back from Beimo, he can stay in the capital directly."

Shen Yu sat on the swing, and Shang Junlin pushed the swing for him behind his back. In the whole world, there is only one Shen Yu who can be treated like this by the emperor.

When the prime minister was looking for him, he happened to see this scene.

Eunuch Meng hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has arrived."

"Your Majesty, go and get busy." Shen Yu turned his head and said to the people behind him.

"Ah Yu will go with me." Shang Junlin put his arms around Sullen's waist and hugged him up.

Depressed and helpless, he had to be with Shang Junlin.

The prime minister was announced into the palace by Shang Junlin, and he was talking about Jiang Huaiqing's affairs in Beimo. Now that Jiang Huaiqing has gained the trust of the third prince of Beimo, the development of the situation is better than they imagined. The first move has been played. Take the second step.

The prime minister is the palace to enter for the next arrangement.

"What Huaiqing did was beyond my expectation." The prime minister was used to Shang Junlin's gloomy deliberations, and his expression didn't change.

If it is possible, he would prefer Shen Yu to be an official in the court, rather than just appearing occasionally. For example, this time, the plan was proposed by Shen Yu first, and the candidate was also proposed by Shen Yu. They can send others, but the effect is definitely not good would be as good as it is now.

"The next step is to find a way to make the civil strife in Beimo take longer. The third prince alone will definitely not be able to do it. When the third prince becomes powerful, we can send Subei to take action." The prime minister said.

"Yes, the only way to delay the time as much as possible is to be evenly matched and not let one side become bigger."

The prime minister intentionally brought the topic to Shen Yu, but as a last resort, Shen Yu said a lot about his own thoughts.

"We can't let Bei Mo feel that we are intervening in a short period of time, otherwise, under the action of external forces, they will be twisted into one rope and unanimously speak out. We must grasp the timing and scale when doing this."

After some conversation, the Prime Minister left satisfied, leaned back in his chair gloomily, and sighed: "This matter can be resolved by His Majesty and the Prime Minister, why does the Prime Minister insist on asking me to say something?"

"The prime minister has always been talented. With Ah Yu's talent, if he enters the court, he will be reused by the prime minister." Shang Junlin knew the prime minister's thoughts, after all, the prime minister had praised the gloomy talent in front of him more than once.

"The prime minister is really unique. If other ministers would point at my nose and scold me, the harem will not be allowed to interfere in politics." Sullen smiled lowly.

"I don't have this one here," Shang Junlin stretched out his hand, "Ayu, come here, didn't you ask Yinlongwei to investigate Zhuwang before, and Yinlongwei found something recently."

Shen Yu walked over and was pulled into his arms by the man.
