The strength in the chin continued to increase, and he hooked his lips in gloom: "Your Majesty is angry?"
"I'm just reminding you, don't forget your identity." Shang Junlin narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Then..." Sullen drew the tone, "Your Majesty, tell me who I am."
"Your Majesty, don't ask questions knowingly."
"How could Your Majesty know what I said casually?" Sullen rolled his eyes, "Does Your Majesty care about me so much?"
"The imperial palace has always been unable to hide secrets. I don't know how many ears have listened to your conversation with the King of Yue." Shang Junlin stated the facts.
"No wonder Li Wang would threaten me with that matter," Shen Yu wanted to understand this, and reached out to cover the back of Shang Junlin's hand, "If your majesty is curious about my experience outside the palace, just ask me directly, why bother to take it from others? hearsay."
Shang Junlin's eyes deepened: "Then you might as well tell me, how many good sons do you have outside the palace, huh?"
Going around and around, the topic has returned to the original point.
"How come your Majesty believes what I said to fool King Yue? Apart from Your Majesty, how can I have a good son? Isn't Your Majesty very clear about this?" Shen Yu didn't believe it. Shang Junlin didn't investigate the matter before he entered the palace.
"That's what your gentleman said," Shang Junlin didn't deny it, let go of the hand that clamped Su Yu's chin, and frowned, "Why is your gentleman so delicate?"
Shang Junlin deliberately lightened his strength, but unexpectedly left a red mark on Shen Yu's chin.
"Meng Chang, bring the medicine."
"Yes." Eunuch Meng quickly returned with the blood stasis medicine.
Shen Yu rubbed his chin, but he didn't feel anything, "Your Majesty, don't worry about it, you'll be fine in a while."
Shang Junlin didn't listen to him, and opened the medicine bottle, resting his depressed chin with one hand, dipped the ointment on the fingers of the other hand, and carefully applied it on the red marks.
A cool feeling came from the chin. The man rubbed the ointment with his fingertips, and the coolness gradually turned into hot.
The melancholy was controlled between the man's body and the wall, the cold breath and the heat from the man's body continued to hit, making one dizzy.
Sullen closed his eyes a little bit, and his chaotic thoughts gradually calmed down.
"alright."
Just before his consciousness slipped into the abyss, a man's voice came, and he opened his eyes gloomily, and found that he was getting closer to Shang Junlin.
The distance between the two was no more than an arm's length away, so close that he could see Shang Junlin's slender and straight eyelashes, the roots were distinct, and as he breathed and intertwined, he felt a heat in his depressed ears.
"Your gentleman has a mole here." Shang Junlin's voice was hoarse.
Below the earlobe, there was a very light-colored mole, Shang Junlin couldn't hold back, and stroked it with his fingers.
Sullen and uncomfortable, he tilted his head, trying to avoid Shang Junlin's hand, and at the same time reached out to touch his ear.
He didn't know that the place where he had a mole was so sensitive. He was just touched by Shang Junlin, as if he had touched some switch, and trembled.
"Your Majesty..." Sensing the unconcealable tremor in the voice, he closed his mouth gloomily.
Shang Junlin coughed and withdrew his hand: "It's late, your lord should go to bed early."
Under the wide sleeves, the man rubbed his fingers, and the fingertips seemed to still have a delicate and cool touch.
Lying depressed on the bed, tilting his head slightly, under the candlelight, Shang Junlin was writing the memorial with a straight posture. The orange candlelight cast a layer of warm light on the man, which made people unable to look away.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
King Huaiyu was taken away suddenly. When the ministers heard the news, they were blindsided by the emperor's series of actions.
Without saying a word, the imperial army took away several officials, including but not limited to veterans who had been in power since the late emperor.
The action this time was even bigger than that of Zhang Yushi.
The ministers with good relations gathered together to think about the reasons why His Majesty did this.
"Your Majesty has punished King Li and King Yue, and now it's King Huaiyu, so it's unlikely that King Huaiyu will be as disrespectful to your lord as the previous two princes, right?"
"Probably not. Hasn't King Huaiyu always had a low sense of existence, and he doesn't care about government affairs. King Li wanted his niece to enter the palace as a queen, and I haven't heard that King Huaiyu's family has a young woman. "
"Your Majesty suddenly made a big move and sent the forbidden army to surround Huaiyu's palace. I always feel that it will not be a trivial matter."
"Could it be... treason?"
"Speak carefully, speak carefully."
"Actually, it's not completely impossible. You may not know that before the first emperor ascended the throne, King Huaiyu was the prince with the highest voice."
The speaker fell into memory. At that time, King Huaiyu was only seventeen or eighteen years old. It was the time when the young man was at his most energetic. His talent was outstanding and he stood out among the princes. Unfortunately, this dazzling star flickered for a short time. After a while, the light was covered by thick dark clouds, and the crowd disappeared.
Many years have passed in a flash, and the once proud son of heaven has turned into gravel on the ground, and his demeanor has also been worn away by time.
"But the new emperor has been on the throne for so long, if he really wants to do something, he doesn't have to wait until now." Another person put forward a different view.
"That's right. Now that the imperial court is stable, His Majesty is what the people want and what everyone expects. If it is true as you said, wouldn't it be a better time for His Majesty to act before he takes the throne?"
Many of the ministers who were present at that time had experienced the chaotic scene. The first emperor was indolent in his later years, favoring treacherous ministers, allowing them to control courtiers, amassing money wantonly, and eliminating dissidents. Capable generals were framed, millions of soldiers died in vain, and died with hatred. The enemy country found the right time to attack on a large scale and took away one piece of fertile land after another.
The first emperor only cared about enjoying himself, and turned a blind eye to it, until now His Majesty was born, like a sharp knife, piercing the enemy's belly, taking back the land bit by bit.
Shen Yu flipped through the palace chronicle sent by Shang Junlin, trying to find some clues from it.
Nothing happened to King Huaiyu in the previous life. Shen Yu didn't know how Shang Junlin dealt with the concubines of the former emperor in the previous life, and whether he also found out that there was someone secretly manipulating them. He always felt that there was something wrong with this matter.
"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Gu is here."
After Shen Yu got better, Imperial Physician Gu no longer came here every day, this time it was three days since the last time.
After paying his respects, Imperial Physician Gu took Shen Yu's pulse as usual, after a while, Imperial Physician Gu frowned and withdrew his hand: "Your Lord's pulse is not quite right."
Shen Yu didn't respond yet, Mu Xi was already in a hurry, and couldn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly asked, "Physician Gu, are you alright?"
"I have to make sure, Miss Mu Xi doesn't need to panic, it's not necessarily a bad thing." Doctor Gu said.
"Mu Xi."
Mu Xi was about to say something, but was interrupted by Shen Yu, "Don't be rude to Imperial Physician Gu."
"Your Majesty, please extend your other hand, I have to confirm again." Imperial Physician Gu thought for a moment before speaking.
"There is a doctor to consult the imperial physician."
Grand Physician Gu took Shen Yu's pulse again carefully twice, and his frown relaxed a bit.
"Don't worry, your lord. It's your body's rejection reaction to a certain toxin. Fortunately, your lord doesn't consume much. I prescribe a prescription, and it will be cured soon."
"Poisoned?" Mu Xi frowned, "But your lord's diet is strictly controlled, and this servant can guarantee that everything that enters your lord's mouth is fine."
"It doesn't have to be food," Gu Taiyi explained, "the toxin content in your body is very weak. If it wasn't for your innate weakness and the medicines you take that have conflicting properties with this toxin, this toxin would It will not have any effect on the body."
"Can Imperial Physician Gu diagnose when I ingested this toxin?" Shen Yu recalled the experience during this period, and had some thoughts in his mind.
"Should be within a week."
Within a week, it happened to coincide with Shen Yuxiang's time.
If you want to say that the only unusual thing recently is that he went there after Yu Niangniang made trouble, and it happened that Mu Xi was his personal maid, so she also followed her.
"I would like to ask Imperial Physician Gu to diagnose my maid again." Shen Yu needed to confirm his thoughts.
Imperial Physician Gu took Mu Xi's pulse and was surprised: "Miss Mu Xi also has a very small amount of this toxin in her body."
Sure enough, as he thought, Shen Yu continued to ask: "What effect will this toxin have on people?"
"It has a certain hallucinogenic effect. If the amount is large enough, it will make people fall into a nightmare, but you can rest assured that the toxin content in your body will not have any effect."
Shen Yu also felt it. If it wasn't for the doctor Gu, he wouldn't know that he was poisoned inadvertently.
"May I bother Imperial Physician Gu to take a look at it for Your Majesty?"
"This is the duty of the minister, and I dare not use the word 'trouble'."
Shang Junlin returned to Yuzhang Palace after finishing his work, and found that Imperial Physician Gu was talking to Shen Yu in a low voice, and the corners of his raised mouth were slowly flattened.
Shen Yu saw Shang Junlin before the notification from the palace servants, and stood up: "Your Majesty, come quickly."
Imperial Physician Gu and the palace servants knelt down to pay their respects.
Shang Junlin became depressed: "Everyone get up."
"Your Majesty, I have discovered something," Shen Yu said, "Your Majesty, let Doctor Gu take a pulse first."
Shang Junlin looked serious, and reached out for Doctor Gu to feel his pulse.
As expected, Shang Junlin also had a small amount of toxins in his body.
"His Majesty?"
Shang Junlin's face instantly became very ugly, and he was about to explain that a little toxin would not have much effect on the body, so he heard the man ask Dr. Gu in a deep voice:
"Will this toxin cause harm to your body?"
Imperial Physician Gu was also stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Shang Junlin to ask this first thing after he learned of the poisoning.
Doctor Gu, who once again lamented His Majesty's deep affection for Your Majesty, took a breath and explained: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, it will not affect Your Majesty's health."
Shang Junlin nodded, his face returned to normal: "What's the name of that poison?"
"It's called 'Scarlet Dream'."
"'Crimson Dream'?! Isn't 'Scarlet Dream' banned?" Shen Yu blurted out. Because of his own health, Shen Yu has researched various medicines. With the seemingly inconspicuous "Scarlet Dream", a city was almost destroyed.
After speaking, Su Yu suddenly realized that the shocking incident had not happened when he was reborn, and "Scarlet Dream" had not been seized, and the current "Scarlet Dream" was just a humble drug.
Shang Junlin's eyes narrowed slightly. He had heard about "Scarlet Dream", and it was not a drug worthy of attention. It was usually paired with some kind of medicine and used for pleasure-seeking occasions. Why did Depression react so strongly to "Crimson Dream"?
What have you been through, or...
Pressing all kinds of thoughts in his heart, Shang Junlin ordered people to thoroughly investigate Yuzhang Palace.
"Your Majesty," Shen Yu grasped Shang Junlin's hand, "We must find out where the 'Crimson Dream' came from."
Shang Junlin looked at him deeply: "I need a reason."
Your lord, how many secrets do you still hide that I don't know
