Difficulty in deciphering

It has been raining in the capital for the past few days, and the overcast weather made Zhao Minghe's wounds behind him ache, and his mood became restless.After Xiaoqi gave her the medicine, she brought warm tea to drive Zhao Minghe away from the cold.

"Minghe, what are you thinking?" Seeing that Zhao Minghe was just holding a teacup and looking out the window in a daze, Xiao Qi asked.

"I was thinking, there is so much rain this year." Zhao Minghe came back to his senses and took a sip of the tea ceremony. "Tell me, is there some god in the sky who is crying?"

"It's just that someone in your heart is washing your face with tears." Xiao Qi said, going forward to close the window. "The weather has been bad these days, so don't blow the wind here all the time, causing the cold."

"It caused the cold, isn't there still you?" Looking at Xiao Qi's slightly angry cheeks, Zhao Minghe smiled and said so on purpose.

"Yes, there is me. When the weather kills me, let's see who else you have."

"There won't be that time." Hearing what Xiao Qi said, Zhao Minghe's heart suddenly felt a bone-chilling chill.

"Yes, there won't be such a time." Seeing Zhao Minghe's face suddenly turned pale, Xiao Qi knew that he had said the joke, so he comforted him. "I can always be with you."

Obviously, Zhao Minghe was not comforted by these words, and was still in a daze.Seeing her like this, Xiao Qi hugged her into his arms distressedly, and said softly.

"Even at that time, I'm still fine. So... Absolutely, nothing will happen."

At night, Ye Ling came.Zhao Minghe was halfway undressing when the woman pushed the door open.Zhao Minghe didn't shy away from it, he took off his coat and threw it on the bed, saying calmly.

"Why didn't I know that the first beauty in the court is so lacking in etiquette?"

"When Mr. Zhao asked Youling to do something, why didn't you think that Youling lacked manners?" Hearing what Zhao Minghe said, Youling was not angry, but walked over leisurely and stood next to Zhao Minghe.

"I'm not looking for you to do something, I'm just looking for you... for mutual benefit and symbiosis." Zhao Minghe took a step back calmly, and said.

"But I don't think Mr. Zhao's strategy is very effective." Seeing that Zhao Minghe is not close to him, Ye Ling said with interest. "The current emperor, not only did not alienate Lin Jieyu, but he couldn't even leave her for half a step, and he stayed with her in the Yannian Palace every day. It seems... Mr. Zhao's position in the heart of the emperor is no more than that. That's all."

"Whether there is estrangement, I don't know. But I can try the position in the heart of His Majesty the Emperor." Zhao Minghe didn't care, but smiled instead.

"How to try? Mr. Zhao is not afraid to try, so he just tried it off?"

"If you drop it here, then you should drop it." Zhao Minghe replied carelessly. "I'm really curious, what would it be like if Lin Jieyu wasn't around His Majesty?"

"I'm not curious about what will happen to His Majesty. I just look forward to the moment when Lin Jieyu is thrown into the abyss by His Majesty."

"You hate her that much?"

"I hate. I hate her for playing with His Majesty Han Yu's feelings, and I hate her for throwing His Majesty Han Yu into the fire and ignoring her!"

"How do you know that she threw Lin Hanyu into the fire and ignored it?" Zhao Minghe asked.

"She was with His Highness every day for a while... I don't know what method he used to make His Highness give up on her... She was also in the Yingchun Palace when the fire broke out...Lin Jieyu possessed such extraordinary martial arts...but...he couldn't be rescued Your Highness." Although many years have passed since this incident, when Ye Ling talked about it, she was still filled with grief. "She...she doesn't deserve love!"

"Perhaps, the truth is not what you see?" After a while, Ye Ling heard Zhao Minghe say slowly.

"Are you speaking for Lin Jieyu?"

"I was just wondering if the real truth would be more cruel." Hearing Youling ask herself this, Zhao Minghe suddenly smiled. She tightly captured Youling's eyes with a pair of bewitching pupils, and said word by word. "For example... Will Lin Jieyu personally design everything and kill His Highness Han Yu in order to help Lin Huiye ascend to the throne?"

Hearing what Zhao Minghe said, Yeling's pupils constricted in an instant, and her whole body was icy cold.

But Zhao Minghe added something as if he hadn't seen it.

Yeling only listened to Zhao Minghe's light voice.

"After all, the royal family is guarded by hidden guards, so it is not easy to die in the sea of ​​fire."

Three days later, His Majesty the Emperor recovered from his illness and went to court.Lin Huiye sat on the dragon chair and swept down the stage. He didn't feel at ease until he saw Zhao Minghe still respectfully standing in the queue of military officers.

However, the aftermath of the celebration banquet did not disappear. Everyone saw that Zhao Minghe offended Longyan that night and had not been summoned by the emperor so far, so they couldn't help but speculate on Zhao Minghe's situation.In addition, all the ministers have long been disgusted with Zhao Minghe's arrogance and domineering, many people are waiting to read her book.

"Tang Aiqing, I read the notebook you passed on privately to me yesterday." Lin Hui said at night after everyone was silent. "It seems that you have something to confront Zhao Aiqing, and she happens to be here today, why don't you ask her face to face."

"Yes." Spokesperson Tang Ruian originally didn't want to be an enemy of Zhao Minghe, but when His Majesty said so, he had no choice but to stand out from the corner and clasped his hands. "General Zhao."

Zhao Minghe also stood up from the team, only looked at him out of the corner of his eyes, and didn't speak.

Seeing Zhao Minghe's condescending attitude, Tang Rui'an became even more angry, and unexpectedly became less afraid.

"Were you at home yesterday afternoon?"

"Not here." Zhao Minghe replied.

"Did you go in the direction of Dongbaoku?" Tang Ruian pressed, not giving Zhao Minghe a chance to react.

"Yes." Zhao Minghe replied.

"Is there any Moon Essence Hua that met the Kushi and asked for tribute from the Chi Kingdom?"

"Yes."

"Do you know that it is a capital offense to embezzle tribute from the treasury without permission?! You are lawless on weekdays, and you can forget about taking credit for yourself!" Seeing that Zhao Minghe was stepping into his own hands step by step, Tang Rui'an became more confident. "But today you actually took advantage of His Majesty's tolerance for you to embezzle the tribute privately and treat the emperor's wealth as your own! What crime should you be?!"

After Tang Ruian finished speaking a series of words, the entire court hall fell into a deathly silence.All the ministers stared at their toes without making a sound, let alone looking at the emperor sitting here.

I don't know how long this silence lasted before everyone listened to Zhao Minghe speak slowly.

"Then...please Your Majesty punish the minister with death."

It's okay not to say this sentence, but when he said it, all the officials in the court gasped.He thought to himself, this Zhao Minghe might have lived enough.

Sure enough, Lin Huiye said coldly after hearing this.

"Since you think so, then I will punish you to death."

After Tang Ruian and the others heard this sentence, they were secretly delighted.Just listen to Lin Huiye continuing.

"Order Dali Temple to send people to search General Zhao's mansion now. If the flower of Yuexie is found, then Zhao Minghe will be sentenced to death. Sin is also a capital crime."

"Your Majesty?!" Hearing the second half of Lin Huiye's sentence, Tang Ruian's heart sank to the bottom.

"What? Didn't you see General Zhao bring Yuexihua into the mansion with your own eyes?"

"Yes! Yes..." Tang Rui'an replied, but he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong, so he just asked Dali Temple to investigate thoroughly.

All the ministers just stood upright in the hall, no one moved a toe, let alone said a word.The entire court hall was so quiet that not even a mosquito flew into the hall.In this way, everyone stood unanimously until Sunset West Mountain, and Dali Temple finally sent someone to answer.

"Report to Your Majesty, the Dali Temple has not found the flower of Yuexiu in General Zhao's mansion."

"Where is the flower of the moon essence now?"

"It's lying intact in the jade cabinet of the East Treasure House." The envoy replied.

"It's impossible...it's impossible!" Tang Ruian was already trembling when he heard that the Blossom of Moon Essence had not been found.But when he heard that the moonlight flower was lying intact in the East Treasure House, he couldn't stand still and sat down on the hall.

"Ah... I forgot, I just picked up the Blossom of Moon Cuisine yesterday, and then... I put it back." At this moment, Zhao Minghe suddenly realized as if he remembered something.

"You...you!" Tang Ruian's face turned green with anger, but he also breathed a sigh of relief.

The surrounding veterans waited for Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate and their legs were sore, only to find that Zhao Minghe just swayed them backwards, and their beards trembled in anger. Fortunately, they have been officials for many years, so they endured it.

"It may be that I was injured too badly when I took the dragon's blood for His Majesty, and it affected my brain." However, Zhao Minghe was completely unaware of the tense atmosphere at the moment, and said leisurely to Lin Huiye who was sitting on the throne. "Your Majesty, the weather has been bad recently, and I feel extremely unwell. I want to rest for a day or two. I wonder if Your Majesty will allow it?"

"I agree."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Zhao Minghe thanked Lin Huiye, he retreated to his seat.

At this moment, the string that everyone had been tense was finally loosened, and looking outside the hall, it was already sunset.When the ministers heard the word "retire from the court", they just felt that they had been liberated and went to their respective mansions.No one was in the mood to think about the strangeness of the Blossom of Moon Essence.

"Master Xie?" After the court, Zhao Minghe followed Lin Jieyu to her side.

Lin Jieyu ignored her and walked straight forward, but unexpectedly Zhao Minghe grabbed his wrist again.She dragged Zhao Minghe for a long way, and finally found a place with few smoke and stopped.

At this moment, the dusk was thick, illuminating the palace walls in a bright red color.

"What do you want to do by bringing me to such a desolate place?" Zhao Minghe smiled when he saw Lin Jieyu's eyebrows with a hint of anger.

"Did you take the Blossom of Moon Essence just to frame Tang Ruian, or to test His Majesty?" Lin Jieyu spoke, but it was completely irrelevant.

"Are you worried about His Majesty?"

"It's nothing."

Thinking of last night, when Lin Huiye ordered to secretly go to Zhao Minghe's mansion to find the Blossom of Moon Essence and put it back in its original place, Lin Jieyu didn't know what to say.Sometimes Lin Jieyu thought, maybe it's better not to be in Anbu, maybe if he knows less about the emperor's thoughts, he will have more fantasies.

"I'm going back."

"Did I tell you to go?" Seeing that Lin Jieyu was about to leave, Zhao Minghe dragged her back again.

"You...you're really bored." Knowing that he couldn't earn Zhao Minghe, Lin Jieyu stood where he was, feeling ashamed.

"Don't show such an expression." Seeing her showing that extremely sad expression again, Zhao Minghe let go of his hands. "I just want to invite Mr. Xie to go out of town for dinner."

"Why should I go?" Lin Jieyu said coldly.

"If you go with me, I won't pester you like this in the future, okay?"
