Chapter 2: His Majesty Killed

The grand banquet in the Ronghua Palace lasted until midnight, and all the civil and military officials returned home drunk.Lin Huiye sat dazedly on the upper seat, watching the crowd salute and leave one after another.

In the end, only she and Zhao Minghe were left in the empty hall.

"Ming...Minghe... go and close the door of the main hall, I'm cold." Lin Huiye curled up in the collapsed chair, his head was very hot, but his body was extremely cold.

"If you can't drink, don't drink so much." Zhao Minghe stepped forward and closed the palace door.

"I'm glad you're back." Lin Huiye smiled. "Only once a year."

"Then what's the matter with you blocking wine for the minister?" Zhao Minghe asked, with a hint of reprimand.

"Looking at them toasting you one by one, I'm afraid they won't ruin you..." Lin Huiye frowned like a child, as if he was a little sullen. "If you are not good at refusing, I will drink it for you. You see...after I drink for you...the number of people toasting has decreased by half."

"Are you sure you can drink enough?" Zhao Minghe laughed.

"It doesn't matter if I drink too much." Lin Huiye smiled foolishly. "I don't ride on the battlefield."

"You are all nonsense."

"Correct? Everything I say is right." Lin Huiye leaned back in the chair, curling up even more.

"Now that the Zhenhe rebellion has been put down, I have a lot of time to accompany you." Zhao Minghe walked to a place two steps away from Lin Huiye, found an empty seat and sat down.

"Hmm..." Lin Huiye glanced sideways at Zhao Minghe. "Why are you sitting so far away? Come to me."

"I help you go back to the palace to rest." Zhao Minghe obediently walked to Lin Huiye's side, and pulled her out of the chair. "How decent is it to sleep here?"

"Alright." Lin Huiye didn't resist too much, and was supported by Zhao Minghe to go out through the side door of Ronghua Hall.

As soon as he stepped out of the palace gate, Lin Huiye felt the moonlight shining down his eyes.She looked up and saw bright stars in the sky connected together to form a winding and slender silver river.The warm white light enveloped the world, and also enveloped his own heart.

"Minghe." Lin Hui smiled at night. "The river in the sky is bright and winding, beautiful... just like you."

"I never knew my name was so nice." Zhao Minghe smiled lightly and looked up at the sky.But at this moment, a gust of night wind blew up the untied black hair on the side of Lin Huiye's face and brushed against her cheeks, making Zhao Minghe startled.She shook her head, took off her shawl and put it on for Lin Huiye. "It's late at night, don't catch a cold, Your Majesty."

"Minghe, I have liked you for many years." Looking down at Zhao Minghe neatly tying the shawl with his slender fingers, Lin Huiye leaned on her shoulder and said in an inarticulate tone after drinking. "Do you...do you like me?"

"Even if I like His Majesty, I can't be with His Majesty." Zhao Minghe replied, the subtle answer tickled Lin Huiye's heart.

"Why?"

"Because the minister and His Majesty are both women." Speaking of which, Zhao Minghe had already helped Lin Huiye tie the shawl.

"What's wrong with a woman... I am a woman... and I also became an emperor that the emperor brothers can't do. You are also a woman, but you won Yuanyou and became a general... us!"

"Your Majesty." Lin Huiye's words were cut off by Zhao Minghe. "You're drunk."

"Minghe is not drunk! I know..." Lin Huiye said so, and pulled Zhao Minghe into his arms. "I... can't live without you."

Xu being hugged like this, Lin Huiye couldn't see Zhao Minghe's cold expression for a moment.She only felt a severe colic in her heart, and a fishy and sweet feeling came up all at once.She endured it again and again, but finally couldn't hold it back, and coughed out a sound.Bright red blood spurted out all at once, spraying Zhao Minghe all over.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty is vomiting blood!" A group of young maids who were about to take care of the Ronghua Palace happened to pass by this path.What they saw was General Zhao being hugged tightly by their majesty, his body was covered with bright red blood.

"Physician Xuan." Zhao Minghe glanced at the little maid who frightened her with a clear expression, and said coldly.

"Yes... yes!" The little maid didn't even have to salute, and immediately ran away to ask the imperial doctor.

"Minghe...zhen...chest is very hot." Lin Huiye felt that all the strength in his body was sucked away, and his whole body softened.

"Your Majesty, don't be afraid, the imperial doctor will be here soon." Zhao Minghe hugged Lin Huiye and patted her on the back lightly.

As if being coaxed and comforted by Zhao Minghe's gentle pat, Lin Huiye closed his eyes peacefully.

After playing the qin in the middle of the night, Lin Jieyu finally felt calm, and there was a hint of immersion in the rhythm.I wanted to just play like this all night, but I saw Xiao Zhu who had just gone somewhere to play, was running towards him in a hurry.Lin Jieyu took his hands off the strings and waited for her to speak.

"Master...Master...big...something is wrong!" Xiaozhu's face was anxious, and the bead flower on his head didn't know where it fell.

"What happened?" Lin Jieyu asked.

"My servant just sneaked away to the Ronghua Palace to watch the excitement, and I heard that Your Majesty... His Majesty vomited blood after the dinner, and is now in a coma in the Yannian Palace." Xiaozhu took a breath, and continued: "All the imperial doctors in the palace are gone. Well, until now there is no way out! I only heard that His Majesty was poisoned!"

"Poisoned?"

"I heard that General Zhao and His Majesty were together at that time...Everyone...everyone said that General Zhao was going to murder His Majesty and was under house arrest in the side hall of Yannian Palace." Xiaozhu wiped his sweat. "Oh? Master..."

"I'm going to see His Majesty." After getting a general understanding of the situation, Lin Jieyu stood up.

"Everyone is in Yannian Palace now...You go now..."

"I'm going now." Lin Jieyu said.Xiaozhu raised her head, saw that her beautiful face was covered with a layer of ice, so she fell silent.

"Slaves...Slaves are going with you?"

"You put Yangqin back in the palace and wait for me."

"Yes."

As soon as Xiao Zhu responded, he saw Lin Jieyu walking quickly towards the Yannian Palace.

Zhao Huanghe sat alone by the window of the side hall, she closed her eyes and listened quietly.But in the end, I couldn't hear the beautiful rhythm.

Since the first time he heard the sound of the piano three years ago, Zhao Huanghe has been dependent on that cold tone.Can't say why, Zhao Huanghe always felt that only that kind of timbre and rhythm could calm his violent emotions.

The sound of the piano is like a pure land in Zhao Huanghe's killing world, able to retain her remaining soul.

Every year after the dinner, Zhao Huanghe would go to sit by the Yingshui Pavilion and listen to the piano.

It has been three years, and this is her only expectation when she returns to the city.

However, she has never seen the person playing the piano, but she feels that this person has always been by her side, accompanying her to fight and fight outside the Great Wall.

"It's raining." Zhao Huanghe said softly. "Are you still playing the piano?"

Unfortunately.

It's a pity...

This time, I can't listen to it.

Chuanyi saw Lin Jieyu from a distance, and finally felt a glimmer of hope shining in front of him.

"Master Xie, you are finally here." He met Lin Jieyu and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Who's in there?" Lin Jieyu asked.

"We're all waiting inside. Taiwei Yue and Liu Yushi rushed back from the mansion before their butts were hot when they heard the news that His Majesty was poisoned, and..." Chuanyi said.

"Let them all come out." Lin Jieyu said softly.

"Come out... come out?" Chuanyi repeated again, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

"Let the imperial doctor come out together," Lin Jieyu added.

"This……"

"Director Chuan, Your Majesty... Your Majesty has set a red line! I'm afraid it's not going to work!" Just as he said this, Xiao Dezi rushed out of the palace, his shrill voice changing its tone.

"Let them all come out!" Lin Jieyu could no longer keep calm when he heard the red line.She took a step forward, grabbed Chuanyi's collar and said. "Will they listen to what I say!"

"Yes! Yes! The miscellaneous family will do it now!" Chuanyi was at a loss, and could only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

In less than a while, all the people inside were gathered, even the maids were no exception.They knelt quietly outside Lin Huiye's bedroom, not daring to make a sound.As if waiting for death to come.

Lin Jieyu entered from the side hall, ran all the way to Lin Huiye's side, and pushed Lin Huiye's clothes away.Lin Huiye's complexion was pale, and a red line spread rapidly along her arm, almost reaching her heart.

"You! Why didn't you know to call me together!" Feeling a dull pain in his chest, Lin Jieyu roared angrily.She grabbed the Qingfeng sword on Lin Huiye's bed and cut her wrist.

Blood gurgled down at that moment, flowing into Lin Huiye's mouth which was forcibly opened by Lin Jieyu.

I don't know if it's because of the blood, but the red thread stopped growing, then retreated quickly, and finally disappeared.Lin Jieyu saw that Lin Huiye's face gradually turned rosy, and he finally felt relieved.

"Hui Ye...you are always so stubborn, forcing me to worry about you." Lin Jieyu took out the medicine from the bedside medicine box, bandaged himself to stop the bleeding, and filled a basin of clean water to wipe Lin Huiye's blood-stained skin. With the corners of his lips, he finally sat down beside her quietly. "You have a good rest. I will definitely investigate this matter and find out."

"Come here." Lin Jieyu stood up and summoned him.

"Yes." In the shadows, a man in black landed lightly.

"Go and check the details of Zhao Huanghe." Lin Jieyu raised his eyebrows slightly. "By the way, here is the list of all those who attended the banquet."

"Yes! This subordinate will do it now!" After receiving the order, the black shadow disappeared as if it had never existed.

In the empty bedroom, only Lin Jieyu stood silently for a long time.
