Difficulty in deciphering

Chapter 3: Dream of Liuli

Lin Huiye woke up almost in the middle of the night, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Lin Jieyu sitting beside his bed.She still looked so cold, just looking at the depths of the bedroom, as if she could melt into the candlelight.Lin Huiye smiled, and stretched out his hand to pull Lin Jieyu's sleeve.Lin Jieyu turned around as if awakened suddenly, and saw Lin Huiye looking at him with bright dark eyes.

"Do you still know how to laugh?" Lin Jieyu frowned, bent down and wiped the sweat off Lin Huiye's forehead. "Do you know how uncomfortable it is now?"

"Hmm." Lin Huiye said.

"The imperial doctor said that the poison you have is very rare. It is called Huayeqing, and it is a chronic poison. The poisoned person will be poisoned within two hours after exposure to the poison." Lin Jieyu said with cold eyes. "I'd like to see who has the guts to murder the emperor at the Ronghua Banquet."

"Maybe, that person didn't want to harm me." Lin Huiye said with concentration.

"That's...?" Hearing Lin Huiye say that, Lin Jieyu was surprised.

"Is the Ronghua Palace cleaned up?" Lin Huiye asked instead of answering.

"I didn't let them move." Lin Jieyu tucked Lin Huiye in the quilt. "After such a big incident, the wine vessel and tableware cannot be moved."

"That's good." Lin Huiye's expression turned cold when he said this. "Go and see Minghe's wine glass, there are flowers and leaves."

"Zhao Minghe's wine glass?"

"I suspect that she was the one who killed that person." Lin Huiye said, sighing helplessly. "Minghe is domineering and unruly, and always offends the old men in the court. A year ago, she escorted Yuan You, a traitor who fled to the frontier, back to the prison for me, but unexpectedly Yuanyou committed suicide in the prison with arrogance. Yuanyou is the only son of Zhenwei Great General Yuanwei, how could Minghe not get involved with her. In the days since then, I have been sending secret guards to protect her. I didn't feel at ease until she went outside the Great Wall. I thought This matter will fade over time...how could this hatred be so raging?"

"Yuanyou is a traitor, how did General Zhenwei stop at court?"

"Grand General Zhenwei is a veteran who accompanied the late emperor to start a new dynasty. He is under the protection of the late emperor. How...how can I touch him?" Lin Huiye shook his head and said. "Besides, he has made countless achievements in his life, but his son has gone astray. I want to bestow favor on him and comfort him from the pain of losing his son."

"The pain of losing your only son is truly unforgettable." Lin Jieyu listened quietly.

"I just blocked the wine for Minghe later...but..." Thinking of this, Lin Huiye suddenly became alarmed. "Minghe... How is Minghe?"

"Zhao Minghe is in the side hall of the Yannian Palace. He is fine now. Do you want to see her?"

"It's okay? It's fine..." Hearing Lin Jieyu say that Zhao Minghe was fine, Lin Huiye seemed to let go of a huge rock in his heart. "I don't see her anymore... How can I see her with my current appearance?"

"You look like this, as long as I can see it." Lin Jieyu's eyes were soft, and she stretched out her hand to cover Lin Huiye's loose long hair.

"What's wrong with your hand?" Lin Huiye looked along Lin Jieyu's hand, and found that there were traces of blood on the tulle again.

"When I was in Tianniao Pavilion today, I accidentally got hurt." Lin Jieyu said lightly.

"You also went to Tianniao Pavilion today." Lin Huiye closed his eyes tiredly. "You always love going to that place."

"Well, it's the closest to the sky, and it's a place where it's easy to see gods." Lin Jieyu smiled.

"Immortal...what will it be like..." Lin Huiye also smiled, closing his eyes sleepily.

Lin Jieyu didn't answer, just watched her in a light sleep.

After a while, there was no sound from Yannian Palace, only Lin Jieyu said calmly.

"Immortal...is what you look like..."

After a thorough investigation, among all the food and wine utensils in the Ronghua Banquet, only Zhao Minghe's wine glass contained weak toxicity.And this faint sense of toxicity is due to the subsequent dilution of the wine.

It would be easy if there were clues to the matter, but when Dali Temple was going to continue to investigate the case in depth, when they heard that the emperor wanted to try the case himself, the hearts of all the staff suddenly rose to their throats.

"Who will serve General Zhao's drinks that night?" Lin Huiye asked softly while lying on the dragon couch in Yannian Palace.

"Slaves...Slaves, let's check now!" The maid in charge of the palace maid workshop was so frightened that she didn't even dare to lift her head, she just lowered her eyes and looked through the roster. "That...that night...was...it was Qiu Ye who served the general's drinks."

"Tell Autumn Leaves." Lin Hui said at night.

The maid in charge only heard Lin Huiye's cold voice, and immediately shrank to the side of the dragon couch and waited.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, my servant." After a while, Qiu Ye was brought up.

"Why did you poison General Zhao's wine?" Lin Huiye cut to the chase.

"Return to Your Majesty, this servant was wronged, this servant really didn't poison the general!" Hearing Lin Huiye's question, Qiu Ye immediately looked up at Lin Huiye.Lin Huiye squinted at her with tears on his face, but didn't make a sound. "Your Majesty! If the slaves are really going to poison the general, how can the general be safe and sound?"

"That is to say, you intend to poison me on purpose?"

"Your maidservant doesn't mean that..." Hearing what Lin Huiye said, Qiuye cried even harder, and couldn't even utter a complete sentence.Lin Huiye quietly looked at the little maid kneeling under the couch, without saying a word.

"Miss Qiuye...Since you didn't poison it, you should think about who could poison the general's wine glass? That night...did anything strange happen?" Chuan Yi, the former imperial eunuch, saw the atmosphere stagnant, Hurry out and adjust.

"The servant girl remembers pouring wine for the general that night..." Qiu Ye recalled tearfully. "Later...then a maid who was unfamiliar said that Wu Zhangshi was looking for slaves in the back hall. Seeing that there is no one waiting for the general, I quickly made up for it."

After hearing what Qiuye said, Lin Huiye asked.

"You mean, there is an unfamiliar court lady who asked you to go to the back hall?"

"The maidservant has only entered the palace for a short time, and this time I can come to serve the general because of Wu's preference... I am not very familiar with other court ladies..."

"What nonsense are you talking about! I only asked you to serve at the Ronghua Banquet because I saw you were quick!" Director Wu, who was shrinking aside, said loudly for a moment, as if trying to clarify something. "Don't blame me for everything!"

"Shut up." Lin Huiye, who was lying down, sat up from the couch and looked at Qiu Ye. "Can you describe what the maid looks like?"

"It can be described!" Qiuye said hastily. "That court lady is extremely beautiful! I have rarely seen such a beautiful person..."

"Chuanyi, take her to the painter's place, and draw the appearance of that palace lady."

"twitter."

The autumn leaves are depicted very vividly, and the artist drew them with almost no obstacles.However, as soon as the picture was posted, someone recognized the person immediately.

This person is Lu Ruolan, the new concubine in General Zhenwei's mansion.

That night, Lin Huiye ordered to surround General Zhenwei's mansion and conduct a thorough investigation.Finally, under a locust tree outside Lu Ruolan's dormitory, the remaining huayeqing was dug out.

"Lu Ruolan, did you inflict the poison?" Lin Huiye surrounded the Zhenwei Grand General's mansion so that even a mosquito could not fly out, so Lu Ruolan was escorted out.

Lu Ruolan knelt under Lin Huiye's couch and shivered, not saying a word.

"Look up and look at me." Lin Huiye ordered.

Hearing this, Lu Ruolan raised his head and looked at Lin Huiye.Lin Huiye stretched his eyebrows, he was indeed a beauty.It's just that this beauty doesn't have much backbone.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty...the concubine was forced by the general! The concubine was born cowardly, and she didn't even dare to step on an ant to death. How could she kill General Zhao by herself. The general said...this matter is a concubine. If you do it without anyone noticing...it will never be found out! Even if it is found out...with his prestige in the court, His Majesty will definitely not do anything to the concubine...but he never thought of it As soon as this concubine was poisoned, His Majesty blocked that glass of wine for General Zhao... I was terrified at the time... I quietly changed the wine pot and ran away..." After all, the beauty is also a woman, and she cried before she could explain clearly The pear blossoms are raining. "General Zhenwei also said that if the concubine is done with this matter, he will let the concubine be his wife... I was confused for a while... Concubine..."

"I was confused for a moment." Lin Huiye repeated softly. "I don't think Yuan Wei was confused for a while, but rather because of old age."

"His Majesty……"

"He has been a general for too long, so comfortable. Even I... can be ignored." Lin Huiye smiled.

"Your Majesty... Aren't you and General Zhao on good terms... I know I was wrong, please forgive me... For the sake of the great general's countless achievements..." Lu Ruolan took two steps forward, desperately Grabbing Lin Huiye's hand at his side, weeping silently.

She still wanted to say something, but Lin Huiye said softly.

"Come here, drag her out and hand her over to the Ministry of Punishment for adjudication."

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, you spared my concubine! Spare my concubine! Your Majesty! Your Majesty...!"

The shouts got farther and farther away, and Lu Ruolan was dragged out of Yannian Palace just like that.

Lin Huiye looked down at Lu Ruolan's wrist with several red marks, and said softly.

"Chuanyi, imitate my will. Yuanwei, the great general of Zhenwei, ordered his concubine to murder the important officials of the court with the intention of killing the emperor. His official titles and titles will be cut off, and the nine clans will be punished. After five days, he will be executed."

The Ronghuayan case was finally closed under Lin Huiye's personal interrogation.During this period, important court officials continued to come to intercede for General Zhenwei, but Lin Huiye closed the door and disappeared.Yuan Wei also repeatedly stated that he was wronged, and asked Lin Huiye to conduct a thorough investigation again, but Lin Huiye also rejected it.

With witnesses and evidence gathered, I almost died once, so what else can I say?

Lin Huiye thought, fortunately, he was the one who was poisoned this time.

If it was Zhao Minghe...

If Zhao Minghe said what he said, he might die, if she died...

Thinking of this, Lin Huiye was stunned.Huayeqing is a poison that has no solution, so... how did I detoxify it?

Just thinking about it, Lin Huiye saw Zhao Minghe appearing at the door of his bedroom.

"Minghe?" Upon seeing Zhao Minghe, Lin Huiye instantly softened.She smiled, looking at the person against the sun.

"I was under house arrest in the side hall before, and I haven't been able to see you." Zhao Minghe just took off his armor today, and casually changed into a layer of dark purple casual clothes.Her long black hair was tied casually, giving it a light air. "Today, it was finally released."

"I didn't expect that the dinner I specially arranged for you would turn out like this." Lin Huiye hurriedly went to welcome him. "I will make another one for you some other day."

"It doesn't matter about the banquet, the key is that His Majesty is fine." Zhao Minghe smiled lightly, holding Lin Huiye's face in his hands. "It's a little rosy."

"Really." Lin Huiye was stared at by Zhao Minghe's soft eyes, and forgot everything for a moment.

"Yes." Zhao Minghe let go of his hand and said. "When I was in the side hall, I was thinking about His Majesty almost every moment. Today I can finally feel at ease."

"I'm fine, everything's fine, very good." Lin Huiye smiled and stretched his arms childishly. "Do you have anything else to do today?"

"General Wei asked me to sit at his house later on."

"Then you can play chess with me during the day." It was heard that later, Lin Huiye grabbed Zhao Minghe's arm and pulled her to the edge of the chessboard in the backyard.Zhao Minghe smiled helplessly, and had no choice but to be dragged away by her.

It wasn't until the figures of the two disappeared into the bedroom that Lin Jieyu came out from the side door holding the medicine bowl that Lin Huiye used to recuperate his body.

She looked at the empty hall in a daze, and finally felt that Lin Huiye was getting farther and farther away from her.

Lu Ruolan stayed in the prison for four days, laughing foolishly for four days.The death row inmates who were locked up with her felt that she had lost her mind and that she was abnormal.

"Lu Ruolan, you are going to be beheaded tomorrow, why are you still laughing?" A death row prisoner finally couldn't help it and asked.

"I'm different from you, you don't understand." It's okay not to ask, Lu Ruolan smiled even more happily after asking.

"Tell me, what's the difference?"

"I'm different from you." Lu Ruolan said so, and suddenly stopped smiling, revealing an almost happy expression. "I have the blessing of the gods, I will not die. She will come to save me..."

"You are really crazy." Hearing her rambling, the death row prisoner turned around and ignored her.

In the middle of the night, the cell door was opened.Lu Ruolan was awakened by several men in black, and they whispered something in her ear, Lu Ruolan's bewildered eyes suddenly lit up.She stood up with a swipe, thought for a while but was not reconciled, and woke up the death row prisoner who had just talked to her.

"Look? She's here to pick me up."

"You..." The condemned prisoner was sleepy.

"My god has come to pick me up." Lu Ruolan said again with a sweet smile. "I can live the happiest life with her right away...haha...haha..."

She said, chuckling.

The death row prisoner could only stare dumbfounded at Lu Ruolan being taken away by those men in black, thinking, there really is a god in this world.Suddenly, she became envious of Lu Ruolan.

However, it was not her god who came to pick up Lu Ruolan.She was taken from a crowded death row cell to another cell by the men in black.Lu Ruolan looked around and found that the cell was extremely small, except for her and a few men in black, there was no one and no sound could be heard.

"Where's Minghe?" Lu Ruolan looked around.

"I'm here." One of them replied, and immediately took off the black cloth covering his face.

"Minghe! You're here!" Lu Ruolan suddenly ran forward and hugged her.She just wanted to kiss Zhao Minghe's lips, but remembered that she hadn't washed much after staying in the cell for four days, so she finally held back. "Am I very powerful? If I say that in front of Lin Huiye, Zhenwei can't recover even if he has a few mouths! And... I remember you said that you want me to be strong, so even though I was raped in the prison I didn’t cry for many punishments. Next is General Wei... Except for him, almost all the military power is in your hands... When the time comes..."

"General Wei is not threatening right now, let's keep him for now," Zhao Minghe said.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now." Lu Ruolan let go of Zhao Minghe, straightened her hair, and asked. "When... are we going out?"

"I'll go out later." Zhao Minghe pushed her hand away. "You...may not be able to get out."

"For...why?"

"Because..." Zhao Minghe spoke slowly, but finally continued. "Because you know too much, you have to be buried with Yuan Wei. Ruo Lan, I will keep your whole body and won't let you be beheaded."

"Ming...Minghe...what did you say?"

"Tomorrow, the people in the sky prison will inform His Majesty that Lu Ruolan committed suicide in the sky prison." Zhao Minghe stared into Lu Ruolan's eyes and said clearly.

"You...you lied to me, didn't you?"

"I didn't lie to you." Zhao Minghe said.

"You said you lied to me...you said you lied to me...you lied to me!!" Lu Ruolan yelled loudly, she didn't blink, but her face was already covered with tears.She wanted to go forward to grab Zhao Minghe, but was imprisoned by the man in black behind Zhao Minghe. "Minghe...Minghe..."

"Ruolan." Zhao Minghe softly called Lu Ruolan's name, leaned forward and lifted her chin, and kissed her. "Bye now."

The moment Lu Ruolan was stunned, Zhao Minghe turned and left.

"Zhao Minghe!! Zhao Minghe!!!"

Zhao Minghe didn't stop because of her call.

"Zhao Minghe... You will die badly!! You must die badly!!! Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go!!!"

"Zhao Minghe... Zhao Minghe!!!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!"

He walked so far away that Zhao Minghe stopped when Lu Ruolan couldn't see him.Lu Ruolan's shrill howls filled her ears.

Zhao Minghe didn't know how long the crying lasted, she only knew that it finally dissipated in the silent darkness.
