Difficulty in deciphering

Lin Huiye spent less and less time awake, and even fell asleep suddenly when discussing matters with ministers.She slept more and more deeply, but no one could wake her up, so she had to wait for her to wake up by herself.

The imperial medical hall was gloomy all day long. The emperor was ill for several months, and they could not sleep peacefully for several months.A few years ago, the matter of the second prince Lin Haoxi's illness and death was brought up again from a corner that no one cared about, reminding them of their own incompetence in those days.People up and down in the medical hall kept rushing back and forth in the long corridor between Yannian Palace and the medical hall to deliver medicines, but they still didn't even know how to make Lin Huiye more awake.

Many ministers privately talked about the emperor's imminent death, but worried that the royal family would have no successors and the world would be in chaos.However, such rumors disappeared without a trace under Lin Huiye's imperial decree to punish the nine clans.

The ministers looked at the heads of Li Jing and his nine clans hanging above the imperial city, and finally shut their mouths tightly.

At that moment, they knew that although their emperor often fell asleep, he was not vague at all.

Every time he watched Lin Huiye gradually fall asleep, Prime Minister Kuang Yin would feel evil thoughts in his heart.He wanted to take advantage of Lin Huiye's drowsy sleep and cut her breathing countless times with his own hands, but he finally didn't dare to do it.For so many years in the officialdom, Kuang Yin broke out in cold sweat for the first time because of an inexplicable aura.

In the morning, Liu Rui was resting in his general's mansion, when he heard the maid beside Lin Huiye say that the emperor wanted to summon him, so he rushed into the palace at the speed of the wind, but...

"Your Majesty." Liu Rui called her softly outside the door of the imperial study, but no one responded.She knocked on the door again and called out. "His Majesty?"

At noon, which was too quiet, Liu Rui only heard a few birdsong in the sky, and there was no sound.The silence made her feel cold, so she pushed the door open and went in.

Lin Huiye was in the study, but fell asleep again.Liu Rui saw Lin Huiye lying on the chair, with his head leaning against the edge of the chair and hanging slightly to the right.The noon sun shone on her sleeping face through the sandalwood window sill, making her extremely peaceful.Liu Rui approached, seeing Lin Huiye's long silver hair dyed the color of the sun, he couldn't help reaching out to stroke it.

smooth.

Liu Rui just stroked Lin Huiye's long silver hair, feeling the slightly hot temperature from the sun, and couldn't put it down.

She only felt her heartbeat speeding up suddenly, and the image of herself sleeping with Lin Huiye in her arms for countless nights flashed through her mind.

"Hui...Hui Ye..." Liu Rui called her that, but felt that his mouth was dry and he had nowhere to vent.

Her eyes followed Lin Huiye's hair and looked up, but she caught sight of Lin Huiye's slightly parted lips.

Lin Huiye's lips were very pale, and they looked extremely soft under the sunlight.Liu Rui only felt that his heart was beating faster, and he couldn't even breathe smoothly.She longed to lower her head to kiss Lin Huiye's lips, fiercely and lingeringly.She could know how sweet and comfortable the touch of those lips was just by imagining.Liu Rui didn't know why she had such a desire for a woman, she only knew that the desire was surging and she couldn't restrain it no matter what.

All the worries in his mind were burned away by a fire, Liu Rui supported the armrest of the chair with one hand, and lowered his head.She saw Lin Huiye's delicate face magnified in front of her eyes, and just when she was about to kiss Lin Huiye's lips, Lin Huiye——opened his eyes.

Liu Rui saw that Lin Huiye's bewildered eyes turned dark in an instant, and then he was knocked down to the ground by her slap.

"Your Majesty! Please forgive me, Your Majesty! It's only for a moment...for a moment..." The burning sensation on her face woke Liu Rui up from her dream, and she knelt in front of Lin Huiye, almost pushing her forehead to the ground.

"What for a while?" Lin Huiye asked, with an indescribable indifference in his voice.

"The minister is just confused for a moment!"

"I know I'm wrong?" Hearing Liu Rui's words, Lin Huiye's voice softened a bit, and he returned to his usual tiredness.

"I know I'm wrong. I don't dare anymore." Liu Rui knelt on the spot with bright red palm marks on his face, sweating coldly.For a moment, there was an illusion that if he really kissed, he would definitely die here.

"It's good to know you're wrong," Lin Huiye said. "Get up."

Hearing what Lin Huiye said, Liu Rui dared to get up. She stood quietly in front of Lin Huiye and didn't dare to say a word, just like when she was alone with Lin Huiye for the first time.

"My dark guards told me that Minghe and the others will probably be back tomorrow." After a while, Lin Huiye said so. .

"Really, that's really great, Your Majesty's illness is cured." Liu Rui echoed.But when she heard that Zhao Minghe was coming back, she was not as happy as before, and she always felt that something was missing in her heart, empty.

"So... I called you today..."

Liu Rui strained his ears to listen, but Lin Huiye continued to speak slowly.

"Play chess with me."

"...?!"

"Don't show that blank expression, go and bring me my chessboard." Seeing Liu Rui staying in place, Lin Huiye sighed, and waved her down to get the chessboard.

"Yes!" Liu Rui happily responded and then ran away.

Kuang Yin has been very impetuous these days.Seeing that Zhao Minghe's army was about to arrive in Beijing tomorrow, he did not hear any news of casualties.He couldn't figure out what happened to the top killers he hired with a lot of money, why there was no news at all, as if they all disappeared out of thin air at once.He thought, if he just waited until the sun shines tomorrow...then all these days he spent in Kuang Yin, wouldn't it be an empty dream of the emperor in vain?

"Do you still remember Wu Jue, the eyeliner I planted next to Wei Qing before Zhao Minghe's team expedition to the extreme northern cold region?" In the prime minister's mansion, Kuang Yin tugged at his white beard that was unrefined and thoughtful. .

"Of course the slave remembers! He was allowed to sneak into General Wei's mansion as a slave a few days ago, but he listened to Mrs. Wei's words." Kuang Yin's confidant rolled his eyes, and remembered clearly.

"Wu Jue just sent a letter back, saying that Zhao Minghe was seriously injured and unconscious, and Lin Jieyu was exhausted and unable to move..." Kuang Yin said slowly. "As for a mere Wei Qing, he is no match for those killers at all, but...why did they still arrive in Beijing safely?"

"My lord...you said that killer...could it be the emperor's..." Seeing Kuang Yin's impetuousness, his confidants whispered.

"The emperor's what?"

"Eat by the Emperor's 'Eagle'..."

"You mean the emperor's twelve hidden guards?" Kuang Yin said slowly.

"The killers you sent are all top-notch in the Jianghu. If it weren't for the emperor's twelve hidden guards, who else would be able to resist." The confidant continued. "Although we don't know what kind of people the emperor's twelve hidden guards are doing...but we know one thing...that is, if you want to stop your assassin, my lord, the emperor's twelve hidden guards must be dispatched By the side of the emperor..."

"No one else?" Kuang Yin shook his fan and smiled.

"The slave thinks... maybe it is like this."

Liu Rui stayed in Lin Huiye's Yannian Palace to play chess with Lin Huiye until late at night.She bets and wins.At the end of the win, she was a little afraid that if she accidentally won too much, she would be beheaded by the emperor.Thinking of this, Liu Rui timidly raised his head and glanced at Lin Hui Yedao.

"Your Majesty... how about you sleep for a while? Get up... let's continue playing."

"What? Do you think I'm not good enough at chess?" Lin Huiye lay lazily on the couch, and casually placed another chess piece on the board.

"It's not that you're not playing well enough..." It's that you're not playing at all... you're just placing pieces randomly...

Liu Rui said silently in his heart.

"What is that?" Lin Huiye smiled.

"Yes... yes..." Liu Rui saw Lin Huiye's smiling face imprinted with the faint light of the candle, which was extremely soft, and instantly forgot what he wanted to say.

"That's all..." Lin Huiye only felt that Liu Rui's panicked appearance was in a daze.She covered her forehead with one hand, laying down on the soft couch with her palm facing the dark roof of the temple, and ordered softly. "I'll sleep first..."

"kindness."

Hearing that Lin Huiye was going to sleep, Liu Rui hurriedly stood up to take down the chessboard, but Lin Huiye continued.

"But you are not allowed to sleep."

"?" Hearing what Lin Huiye said, Liu Rui couldn't react for a long time.On weekdays, if Lin Hui wanted to sleep at night, he must be by her side.But today Lin Huiye neither let her go nor let her sleep...then...

"If you are asleep too... who will clean up those rats for me..." Hearing Lin Huiye's light voice again, that person fell into sleep.

After Lin Huiye fell asleep, the entire Yannian Palace fell into silence, so some sounds became clearer.Liu Rui only heard the extremely subtle rustling sound coming from the roof, and he knew that tonight was not going to be so easy.She clenched the sword guard in her hand and stared at the pitch black night beside Lin Huiye, not even daring to make a sound.

Liu Rui thought, why did her Majesty come here to ask her to play chess... He clearly wanted her to "clean up" the "rats" in Yannian Palace.

Zhao Minghe always felt that she was in a vast darkness, and the voices of many people poured into her mind at the same time, disorganized.She wanted to escape from these voices, but she couldn't.However, among so many voices, only one's voice was extremely penetrating, piercing into her heart like a feather arrow.

She heard the crying voice in that voice, and she was very wronged and shouted to herself:

"Chaoyang! You go! If you leave, don't come back!"

"I'll never see you again!"

"I never want to see you again... woo woo woo... Chaoyang... Chaoyang..."

"Chaoyang, you come back...you come back! I let you come back!!!"

"Xiao Yu... Xiao Yu... Xiao Yu..."

On the night of arriving in Beijing, Zhao Minghe not only did not wake up, but also developed a high fever.Lin Jieyu saw her frowning, and kept murmuring the name of a person named Xiaoyu.Lin Jieyu was no stranger to this name, she had heard it from Zhao Minghe in the snow mountains.

"Zhao Minghe. Wake up." Seeing that she seemed to be in pain, Lin Jieyu stretched out his hand and pushed her, but Zhao Minghe couldn't wake up at all.

The man was in a nightmare, unable to extricate himself.

After thinking about it like this, Lin Jieyu opened the car curtain and said to Wei Qing who was driving.

"General Wei, I think General Zhao's condition is not very good, so let's stop hurrying and go to the medical clinic to have a look."

"Okay." Wei Qing agreed, and drove the carriage towards the medical hall.
