It was not the first time that Mu Xi was interrupted by the emperor when he was talking to Shen Yu. Compared with the panic at the beginning, he was much calmer now.

Eunuch Meng, who came in behind Shang Junlin, instructed the palace staff to put away the book and took the lead to retreat, and the palace staff also followed one by one.

In a blink of an eye, only Shen Yu and Shang Junlin were left in the room.

Shen Yu glanced at the empty room, walked to Shang Junlin, raised his head and asked, "Will Your Majesty tell me?"

Shang Junlin looked at him calmly: "If your lord asks, I shall inform myself."

"Your Majesty really knows?" Shen Yu was stunned for a moment. He thought Shang Junlin said it on purpose. Imperial Physician Gu was just an imperial physician. If he didn't get involved in Zhang Yushi's case, Shang Junlin shouldn't bother to investigate him.

Or, in this life, Imperial Physician Gu also got involved in this matter, but for some reason, it didn't cause the tragic consequences of the previous life?

The doubts in Shen Yu's eyes were too obvious, Shang Jun frowned: "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking why Your Majesty pays so much attention to Imperial Physician Gu..." Shen Yu blurted out, only to realize that something was wrong, and quickly made up for it, "No, I'm just curious why Your Majesty knows so much about Imperial Physician Gu..."

The further back, the quieter the depressing voice.

Shang Jun laughed sullenly, and the inexplicable emotions that had been surging in his heart just now were swept away: "Then you think, why should I pay extra attention to Imperial Physician Gu?"

The word "extraordinary" was read especially hard by Shang Junlin.

"No matter what reason Your Majesty pays more attention to Imperial Physician Gu, if it is for some reason, Your Majesty should not think about it." Shen Yu stared at Shang Junlin's eyes with burning eyes.

What else could be the reason? Shang Junlin was about to ask when he heard Shen Yu's next words.

"Your Majesty has promised me that no newcomers will be admitted to the harem."

Shang Junlin was incredible: "Why do you think I have such thoughts?"

"Then why should Your Majesty pay attention to Imperial Physician Gu?" Shen Yu calmly threw the question back.

"What else could it be because of you, of course it's because of you..." Shang Jun responded sternly, stroked Shen Yu's neck, and pinched it oppressively, "Shen Guijun is not too timid, so what is my word?"

Shen Yu didn't hide or dodge, and lowered his eyes slightly: "I'm just a little worried, after all, I'm the only one in this world, Your Majesty."

"Meng Yu," Shang Junlin rubbed the skin of Shen Yu's neck, and suddenly squeezed Shen Yu's chin, forcing him to raise his head, "Don't be careful in front of me."

"Why does Your Majesty think this way?" Shen Yu suddenly smiled, his eyebrows were raised, his eyes seemed to be full of light, "I am His Majesty's person now, isn't it normal to worry that His Majesty has someone else?"

"Your Majesty," Shen Yu covered the man's hand, "Your Majesty's words, I will take it seriously."

Shang Junlin's heart skipped a beat, and he let go of his hand as if he was being scalded.

Shen Yu knew that it was enough to stop, so he retracted his hand and returned to his usual soft appearance, "Can Your Majesty tell me about Imperial Doctor Gu? After all, after passing through Imperial Doctor Gu's hand, my health is indeed much better than before."
