The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits - Chapter 216
[Chapter 214]
Zhenbeihou didn’t expect that as soon as he arrived in the study, he saw a stranger he had never seen before.
The man stood in front of the desk with his back to him, as if looking at something on it, and when he heard footsteps, the man turned around.
For a moment, Hou Zhenbei’s mind went blank.
The memory hidden in the depths was aroused, and suddenly, he seemed to see the woman standing under the peach blossom tree smiling at him again.
The person who came was obviously a man, but the exposed face was too similar to what he remembered, even the curvature of the corners of his lips was exactly the same, and the sentence “Who are you?” blurted out.
“How did you come in?” Zhenbeihou barely suppressed the emotions in his heart and asked.
The study area is more strictly guarded than other places. This man is covered with white ling, but he can walk freely in the Hou residence without being discovered by anyone, which is enough to show his powerful strength, Zhenbei Hou will not take it lightly.
“Naturally, he walked in.” The man in white chuckled.
“Who are you?” Zhenbeihou asked with a frown.
“Seeing my face, I can still ask this question. I think you have no feelings for your wife who died young.”
“Don’t spit your blood!”
The man in white put away the smile on his face, his face as frosty: “If you have feelings, why did you let her child enter the harem?”
“I…” The Hou of Zhenbei was speechless.
No matter how he made excuses for himself afterwards, it was true that he sent his own son into the harem by himself.
“Isn’t he living well now? Who in the world can treat him like His Majesty?” Zhenbei Houdi told himself countless times that he had facilitated this incident, and for Shen Yu, there was nothing to gain. Harmful.
“No matter how he’s doing now, you can’t deny your selfishness in doing those things. For the sake of how well he’s doing now, I don’t care about this with you. Let’s say that he didn’t enter the palace. , everything that happened in Zhenbei Hou’s Mansion.”
“Are you here to fight for him? Where were you in those early years? Where were you when he was hunted down as a child? Don’t you think it’s too late to talk about this now? Why don’t you go and ask him, do you accept your love?”
“These are matters between me and him, don’t worry about the Duke of Zhenbei, since I’m here now, I won’t let anyone have the chance to hurt again. He, as for the person who hurt him before, I will keep this account, slow! Slow! Count!”
Why did he find it now?
Because that person hid him deep enough, he only found out about his whereabouts a few days ago. After he knew about it, he dealt with the affairs of the clan as soon as possible and came here.
The man in white left, as quietly as when Tathagata came. The Marquis of Zhenbei was sitting on the chair, his whole body limp. He never knew that behind Shen Yu’s mother, there was such a terrifying person.
Just simply standing in front of him gave people a sense of extreme oppression, making people unable to raise any resistance.
Does Shen Yu know the arrival of this person?
And what he said, Zhenbei Hou’s mansion is already crumbling, if the other party really wants to do something, they can’t resist it.
Cold sweat fell from the corner of his forehead, and all kinds of thoughts popped up in Zhenbeihou’s heart. He couldn’t let everything in Zhenbeihou’s mansion be destroyed by his own hands. Now the only way is to find Shen Yu and do it first.
No matter whether that person is on Shen Yu’s side or on his opposite side, he can’t let the two easily unite, otherwise, everything he has is really over.
“Why did the scholar go here specifically to intimidate the Marquis of Zhenbei?” The man in black, who had always been silent, suddenly said. He originally thought that the scholar would do something to them when he went to the Marquis of Zhenbei, but he just said a few words. talk.
His family members have never been kind people. If they were, they would have been swallowed by that place and there would be no bones left, but to the depressing Zhenbei Houfu, the scholars did not adhere to the previous style, making it impossible for people to survive. Begging for death.
“Don’t scare him, how can he tell my brother about my affairs? He refuses to come out of the palace to see me, so I have to think of other ways.” The tone of the man in white was rather casual.
“Aren’t the scholars worried that the Marquis of Zhenbei will deliberately distort the facts?”
“My brother can never be so stupid. He believes whatever others say.” Fished people out of the palace.
“As for the chase that the Marquis of Zhenbei said, I don’t know. They dared to do such a thing. It seems that my warning was too light.”
After saying this, the man in white fell silent. The man in black stood silently behind him, like a shadow that would never leave.
After the man in white left, the Marquis of Zhenbei tossed and turned, and felt that he shouldn’t sit still. If he wasn’t punished, he would still be able to enter the palace after handing in a certificate. Now the emperor said he didn’t want him to enter the palace to anger the nobles, so he took him away. Permission to enter the palace.
Zhenbeihou never thought that one day, it would be so difficult to see his own son.
He wrote a note and asked a familiar official to find a way to hand it over.
Because it was written on the book that it was about your lord, the ministers of the cabinet did not dare to act as a scholar when reviewing the book, and sent the book intact to the palace.
After Shang Junlin saw it, he told Shen Yu.
“Marquis Zhenbei said, there is something I want to tell you about your mother, does Ayu want to see him?”
Shen Yu thought about it, since he was punished last time, Marquis Zhenbei hasn’t bothered him for a long time. Since this time I said on the excerpt that I wanted to tell him about my mother, I should have said something more or less.
“See you.”
Shen Yu doesn’t care about Zhenbeihou’s real purpose, as long as he can get some information about his mother from Zhenbeihou’s mouth, it’s not a loss to see this side.
“Zhen and Ayu together.”
If he wasn’t there, who knew what Zhenbeihou would say to Shen Yu. With him present, at least when Zhenbeihou said things that would make Shen Yu unhappy, he would first weigh what should be Say, what not to say.
“Your Majesty is worried about me?”
“I’m worried that Marquis Zhenbei will upset you.”
Shen Yu did not refuse. He met Marquis Zhenbei to know more about his mother, not to listen to Marquis Zhenbei’s nonsense.
After the book was handed over, the Marquis of Zhenbei had been in a very uneasy mood. Finally, the official he had asked for brought him good news on the third day.
“Your Majesty said, let the Marquis enter the palace tomorrow afternoon, and also said that the Marquis is seeking to see him for some reason, and then he will only talk about this matter, and don’t take it out to waste your time.”
After listening to these words, the Marquis of Zhenbei felt bitter in his heart. The emperor was admonishing himself not to offend the nobles. When would he have to worry about this or that when talking to his own son?
“Weichen understands.” Shen Yu
watched every move of Zhenbei Hou’s mansion, and naturally saw this scene. After the news reached Yuzhang Palace, Shen Yu’s expression was indifferent.
“Is there anything unusual in Zhenbei Hou’s mansion these days?” In the past, Shen Yu went to Zhenbei Hou’s mansion to ask Zhenbei Hou’s things that he wouldn’t say. Why did Shi Dong suddenly want to say something this time?
Anyway, this is not normal.
“I didn’t find anything unusual. What I want to say, before handing over the book, Zhenbei Hou locked himself in the study for an entire afternoon, and his face was ugly when he came out.” Mu Xi recalled the news handed over below.
“Besides him, was there anyone else in the study at that time?”
“No, our people didn’t see anyone going in. It’s strange that after that day, Hou Zhenbei didn’t go to the study for several days.”
In a blink of an eye, it was the day when the Marquis of Zhenbei entered the palace.
When Zhenbeihou came to Yuzhang Palace, the first thing he saw was the two people sitting side by side with an intimate attitude.
“My minister sees Your Majesty, Your Majesty.” The
Zhenbeihou respectfully saluted, and after being allowed, Fang stood up.
Seeing Shen Yu again, his mood is very complicated. This son, who has been unable to pay attention to him since he was a child, grew up quietly in a place he could not see. When he realized that he wanted to make up for the mistakes he had made over the years, he found that everything was wrong. all late.
“Regarding my mother, Zhenbei Hou said it directly.” Shen Yu looked at Zhenbei Hou and said lightly.
The Marquis of Zhenbei came here for this matter, and immediately said: “When your mother insisted on marrying me, she told me that her family did not agree with this marriage, and I never saw her until we got married. My
family.”
“What’s the origin of my mother?”
“I don’t know either, she hasn’t spoken to her fellow ministers, she just said that she had a quarrel with the family. If her whereabouts were discovered, she might be arrested. She is very resistant to talking about family affairs, the minister is not forced, before she dies, she wants the minister to hide the noble monarch well, and she must not be discovered by her family, otherwise, her life may be lost.”
Shen Yu and Shang Jun looked at each other.
At a glance, the two of them thought about the chase back then. They haven’t found out who did it. Could it have something to do with the family that Zhenbei Hou said?
“Why didn’t you say these words at the time?” Shen Yu asked, what happened when he went to Zhenbei Hou’s mansion.
“For so many years, it has been safe and sound. The minister thought that these things were over, and the people over there would not do it again, but the minister did not expect that a person who claimed to be the elder brother of your noble appeared in the capital, and he approached the minister. , said to bring you back to the family.”
With the previous foreshadowing, most of them will feel that this brother who suddenly appeared is uneasy and kind, what to bring back?
put to death?
Until Zhenbeihou left, the air pressure around Shang Junlin was very low. He held Shen Yu in his arms and said in a low voice, “I will not let anyone take you away.” I will
never allow anyone to hurt you.
Even if that person is your blood relative.
“The Marquis of Zhenbei can’t be trusted,” Shen Yu patted Shang Junlin’s back soothingly, “What he said must be beneficial to him, no matter what, we have to find people first and wait After finding the people, you will naturally know what their purpose is.”
Shang Junlin hugged the young man in his arms tightly, calming the tumbling killing intent in his heart: “Since this person has appeared in the capital, he can always be found. , even if I dig three feet into the ground, I will find the person.”
“Perhaps, we don’t need to look for it, he has already appeared.” Shen Yu thought of the inexplicable appearance of Yu and Mu Xi in his clothes. note.
“He may be in Yingxing Building.”
This time, even if Shen Yu didn’t want to, he had to go to Yingxing Building.
“Your Majesty…”
As if he knew what he was thinking, Shang Junlin interrupted him: “Ayu wants to meet people, but only at the place we choose.”
“I listen to His Majesty’s arrangement.” Shen Yu is unwilling to be in danger because of himself and the people he cares about.
