not so good.

Depressed heart said.

I don't know what switch Shang Junlin turned on, and Shen Yu feels that this person is not the same as before.

Shen Yu silently put away the script, not intending to provoke Shang Junlin anymore, if he continues, he will probably be the one who suffers, his legs and hands are still hurting.

Can't do it again.

Noticing the inflexibility of Shen Yu's left hand, Shang Junlin stretched out his hand to hold it: "Still uncomfortable?"

The warmth spread with the fingers, and the gloomy fingertips trembled, "Didn't your majesty ask this knowingly?"

"How can you be so delicate?" Shang Junlin laughed.

"It's not that I'm delicate," Shen Yu retorted, "If you want to blame it, you have to blame His Majesty for taking too long. Even if it wasn't for me, others would not be able to bear it."

Shang Junlin took a breath, and rubbed his depressed fingers moderately: "I will rub it for you."

Shen Yu lay lazily on the soft couch, one hand was held in the palm of the black-clothed man, and he kneaded it gently and gently, being served by the emperor like this, he didn't feel the slightest embarrassment.

"Your Majesty, how is King Huaiyu?" Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming more and more ambiguous, Shen Yu had no choice but to bring up other topics.

"It's all right now."

"I can't figure out why his attitude towards me is different from others. It can't be because of our relationship, right?" But I didn't see how good Huai Yuwang's attitude towards Shang Junlin was.

"Maybe it's because your lord reminded him of some past events."

"Could it be that King Huaiyu had other secrets behind his withdrawal from Seizing the Inheritance?" Shen Yu became interested.

"There are many secrets hidden in the imperial palace. Outsiders only know that King Huaiyu gave up that position due to illness, but they don't know that there are other things that happened before this incident."

Seeing the depression and interest, Shang Junlin said slowly: "Back then, King Huaiyu had a close relationship with a man of unknown origin. The first emperor seized the flaw, designed to kill the man, and pointed the finger at another strong man at that time. A powerful competitor caused the two of them to tear each other apart, and in the end, one died and the other was injured, and the late emperor reaped the benefits."

Shen Yu: "How did King Huaiyu know the real murderer? Does Your Majesty know what kind of man King Huaiyu likes?"

Shang Junlin: "The man failed to leave any information, and all the relevant records were destroyed by King Huaiyu. As for what the man looked like, no one knows about it. After all, the time between the man's appearance and his departure was too short. And his whereabouts have been kept secret, if not for King Huaiyu, fewer people would know of his existence."

"How King Huaiyu knew the real murderer of the man's death, I don't know. Judging from King Huaiyu's plan, the first emperor should have known about it not long after he ascended the throne."

The whole thing always had an indescribable weirdness, Shen Yu didn't know that the royal family still had such secrets in his previous life, and the book he read after his death was also based on Shen Qingran's perspective, and didn't talk about it.

"Does Your Majesty continue to investigate?"

Shang Junlin nodded: "This person hides very deeply, and I don't know what his real purpose is. I suspect that the matter of King Huaiyu this time is also related to what happened back then."

"But King Huaiyu refuses to say it," Shen Yu frowned, "Is it because he can't say it or he doesn't want to say it? What is the purpose of the people behind the scenes planning this?"

No one knows the answer.

How to deal with King Huaiyu is still on the agenda after all. They have not gotten any useful news from King Huaiyu, and they can't keep giving courtiers and other royal families an explanation. Jun Lin had someone announce King Huaiyu's crimes.

Everyone was shocked.

No one could have imagined that King Huaiyu, who has always been low-key and could not be more low-key, could hide so deeply. He didn't expect that he could concentrate on planning for so many years, just to avenge his lover who once died for him in vain. Do things that confuse the royal blood.

Compared with others, the confusion of the royal family's blood was even more unacceptable. Someone immediately wrote a letter requesting a thorough investigation.

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance and must be thoroughly investigated!" Prime Minister Wang Yuci stood up.

For a while, everyone in the royal family who was half-brother with Shang Junlin was in danger.

"Prime Minister Wang's words are wrong. How can such a big scandal be known to everyone?" Some people were dissatisfied.

"Is the face of the royal family more important or the purity of the royal blood?" Wang Cheng asked instead.

"But... do you want everyone in the world to know that the first emperor was cuckolded by so many people?" The Minister of Punishment hesitated.

"It doesn't have to be so direct." Prime Minister Wang replied.

On this issue, the ministers started a new round of quarrels. Some people thought that the matter was serious and must be strictly investigated. Others thought that it was related to the face of the royal family and it was not appropriate to go to war.

Shang Junlin sat on a high place, overlooking the disputes among the ministers. After the crown was crowned, no one could see the emperor's expression clearly.

"Your Majesty, please make a decision." At the end of the quarrel, it was Prime Minister Wang who put an end to the quarrel.

"Since that's the case, this matter will be handed over to Prime Minister Wang."

"The minister obeys the order."

King Yue got the news when he was grounded, and his first reaction was unbelievable.

He grabbed the reporter's shoulder and said sharply: "How is it possible? How could this king not be the child of the emperor?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness. This matter has not yet been settled. Besides, Your Highness and Your Majesty have similar appearances. There will definitely be no problem with their background."

King Yue loosened his shoulders and walked around the study anxiously. If there is a problem with his blood, everything he planned will be in vain. No matter how good his reputation is and how many people support him, once he knows that he is not the biological son of the first emperor , everything he owns will come to naught!

Those old foxes would not allow him to occupy that position just because of the blood of the first emperor.

But he can't do anything about this kind of thing. He currently has little influence in the capital, and he can't compete with the court at all.

"This king is too anxious. There is no evidence to prove that this king is not from the blood of the first emperor. This king can't mess up." Taking a deep breath, King Yue tried his best to calm himself down.

"Your Highness is right. Don't worry, Your Highness. Everyone can see the resemblance between you and the current emperor. Besides, Concubine Li has always been favored by His Majesty..."

"Mother and Concubine will definitely not do such a disgraceful thing!" Yue Wang rubbed his forehead, "You continue to pay attention to the movements outside, and immediately inform this king if there is something wrong."

With such a big case just after the Chinese New Year, everyone's feelings are very complicated, especially the prince left behind by the late emperor.

In the late period of Emperor Xian's reign, he was feeble and incompetent. For the throne, the princes with various ambitions fought fiercely. Later, Shang Junlin intervened forcefully, which prevented the internal fighting from continuing to heat up.

The result of that battle was also tragic. Shang Junlin beheaded many princes and ministers in one breath. For this reason, the court that had finally calmed down almost became turbulent again. It was Shang Junlin's strong means and direct force suppression that stopped it another civil unrest.

The ministers who experienced the civil strife were extremely fortunate. Fortunately, none of those princes finally ascended the throne. Who would have thought that the third, seventh, and fourteenth princes favored by the former emperor were not his own sons. Woolen cloth.

To say that King Huaiyu is also very powerful, he quietly made a large grassland grow above the head of the first emperor.

The late emperor had many heirs, and as the investigation deepened, more and more princes were found to have blood problems, especially the younger ones.

New developments are sent to the palace every day, and Shang Junlin will not avoid depression when dealing with things, and depression has also learned a lot of news.

"Is there any problem with King Yue's background?" It's not too strange to be depressed. If King Yue wasn't the child of the late emperor, he wouldn't be somewhat similar to Shang Junlin.

"Your Majesty always seems to pay more attention to King Yue?"

"Isn't Your Majesty very clear? He lied to me first, and I don't want him to feel better, it's as simple as that."

Shen Yu knew in his heart that Shang Junlin probably knew about the matter between him and King Yue, and even if he didn't know, he didn't mind telling him.

"The noble lord may be disappointed. King Yue's mother, Concubine Li, is one of the few people in the late emperor's harem who is devoted to the late emperor."

"Your Majesty, tell me." Even though he was in the same camp as King Yue in his previous life, Shen Yu still knew very little about Concubine Li.

"There are many first emperors and concubines, but there are not many who really win his heart. Concubine Li is one of them. Concubine Li is a very smart person. She does not fight or rob. People in the harem come and go, only she, who has never changed. Before the death of the first emperor, , Concubine Li asked herself to die, moved by the late Emperor, she took good care of the King of Yue a lot."

That was the late emperor's last preference for the King of Yue as his father, and because of this, the King of Yue was able to survive that turmoil.

At this moment, Shen Yu finally wanted to understand why King Yue always wanted that position.

Because someone planted a seed in his heart a long time ago, with nutrients, let the seed thrive in the passage of time, and one day play the role that the person who planted the seed wanted.

"Your Majesty, have you found any new findings during the investigation of the princes?"

"Your Majesty wants to ask the King of Yue," Shang Junlin shook his head, "I haven't found out what he did that is too outrageous. If you want to pursue it, it will be a trivial matter."

Shen Yu also knew that the King of Yue at this time was still very cautious, and he would not reveal his true ambitions to outsiders until he was completely sure.

Who would have thought that His Royal Highness the King of Yue, who has always been gentle and aloof from the world, has always been in Xiao Xiang's position

"Before the late emperor passed away, he should have left a lot of things for the king of Yue." He was in deep thought. Although the late emperor was a fool in his later years, he was an emperor for decades after all. Paul even provoked something of his ambition.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to spend too much time on the King of Yue. If you have the time, you might as well think about when you can do what you promised me." Shang Junlin didn't like to mention the word "King of Yue" from his depressed mouth.

Feeling the man approaching calmly, he moved silently to the side. After joking and complaining last time, Shang Junlin would hold on to this matter every time, and he even called it: the more you practice, the more comfortable you will be up.

Shen Yu tried to change the topic: "Your Majesty, you are talking about serious business."

"I think that you should care more about the affairs with me." Shang Junlin seemed calm, but there was a terrifying storm hidden inside.

He stretched out a hand, stopped the depression and retreated, and leaned forward.

Hold the book against the approaching man, with a playful look on his gloomy brows: "Did your Majesty eat the freshly made plum snacks from the small kitchen?"

How sour

Hearing the meaning behind the gloomy words, Shang Junlin raised his eyebrows: "Your Majesty, do you want to taste it yourself? Did I eat it?"
