Difficulty in deciphering

At night, Zhao Huanghe had a dream.It was a dream she hadn't had in a long time.The dream is very messy, sometimes the fire is raging, and sometimes the sound of the piano rings around the ear.She also vaguely heard a childish voice speaking to her.

"What do you know, this rhythm is called Tianniao Yuyin."

What do you know……

This rhythm is called Tianniao Yuyin...

The lingering sound of the bird.

As the voice echoed in his ears over and over again, Zhao Huanghe finally opened his eyes.The dark night seemed to swallow up the sound of cicadas, making her breathless.Zhao Huanghe lay on the bed for a while, and suddenly stretched out his hand to the roof, but he didn't know what he was going to grab.The wet feeling in the corners of her eyes reminded her all the time that she was crying again in that dream.

"There are still people in this world who can play that kind of melody." Zhao Huanghe laughed, but at the moment of laughing, he felt tears slipping down again.

"Come here." In the middle of the night, Zhao Huanghe couldn't fall asleep, so she sat up from the bed and said softly.

"General." The door was pushed open, and the candle was quickly lit.Lingyin's familiar call came from Zhao Huanghe's ear.

Zhao Huanghe thought, getting used to having a regular person promise him in the middle of the night, it really can fill the sense of emptiness brought about by the nightmare.

"Go and make me a pot of tea."

"After drinking tea, it will be even harder to fall asleep." Lingyin said. "Why don't you cook a bowl of lily porridge for you? I heard that the porridge is very effective in helping you sleep and calm your nerves."

"Alright." Zhao Huanghe didn't really care about what to drink, she just felt a little restless and needed something to concentrate.

"I'll go now, servant girl." With Zhao Huanghe's consent, Lingyin bowed and left quickly.

It didn't take long for the lily porridge to be cooked. Lingyin put the fragrant porridge in front of Zhao Huanghe, but Zhao Huanghe just stared at the porridge thoughtfully, not taking a sip for a long time.

"General, why don't you drink porridge?" Lingyin asked.

"I've been resting for the past two days, and my hands are lazy." Zhao Huanghe flicked his sleeves and replied with a smile.

"The servant will feed you." Hearing what Zhao Huanghe said, Lingyin took the porridge bowl and sat across from Zhao Huanghe with understanding.She took a spoonful of lily porridge and handed it to Zhao Huanghe's mouth, whispering. "The general is really naughty, are you willing to drink now?"

Zhao Huanghe turned his face to the side again, and said. "Too hot."

Lingyin hurriedly blew and blew, and chased after Zhao Huanghe with support. "General, if you continue to make trouble, the porridge will get cold, which is not good for your health."

"That's right." When Zhao Huanghe looked at herself again, Lingyin realized that her smile had disappeared.She saw Zhao Minghe pushed aside the porcelain spoon in front of him with his hands, his voice seemed tired. "Suddenly I'm not interested in drinking it anymore. Since this porridge has so many benefits, it's a pity to lose it. I reward you."

When Lingyin, who was laughing at first, heard the words "reward you", she froze suddenly.

"What?" Zhao Huanghe asked. "Don't drink?"

"Slave..." After a long time, Lingyin squeezed out a few words from her lips. "Slaves are not hungry."

"You want General Ben to feed you?"

"No...no..." Lingyin hurriedly said, her eyes were red, and she was a little at a loss. "Slaves...slaves drink by themselves..."

"That's good." Zhao Huanghe smiled.The eyes are bent, like crescent moons in the sky.

Lingyin sipped the lily porridge, her frail body trembling vigorously.Seeing her like this, Zhao Huanghe stretched out his hand, pinched her chin, and forced her to raise her head.

Lingyin raised her eyes and saw Zhao Huanghe's phoenix eyes looking down at her, with an indescribable indifference mixed in her gentle expression.

"Lingyin, how long have you been at my house?"

"Back to the general, it's been three years." Lingyin tremblingly said.

"It's okay." Zhao Huanghe let go of his hand suddenly, returned to the bed, and stopped looking at her. "Go down."

Seeing this, Lingyin quickly packed up the dishes and left.

After Lingyin left, Zhao Minghe sat on the bed and remained silent for a long time.

She didn't speak until she heard a small sound coming from the room.

"Xiaoqi."

"General." Hearing Zhao Minghe calling himself, Xiao Qi fell lightly from the beam.

"What's going on with Lingyin?" Zhao Minghe casually picked up a lock of his long hair and put it in his palm to play with.

"I'm hiding in the hut and trembling now, I'm afraid I'm going to be poisoned." Xiao Qi said respectfully. "However, although she looks terrified, she has no intention of going out. It is still difficult to catch the mastermind behind the scenes."

"I gave her two chances. She still wants me to drink it." After a long time, Zhao Minghe said.She smiled, but she smiled a little lonely. "Say, should I keep her?"

"She was the one who wanted to poison the general in the porridge." Xiao Qi narrowed her eyes. "Dead deserves it."

"Then let her die." Zhao Minghe said lightly.She sat on the bed with one leg up, resting her head on the bedpost.Xiao Qi finally felt that her eyes seemed to see far away through the curtain of the bed, and her voice was light and ethereal. "I wish I wasn't so sensitive to poisons. In this way...someday, if someone poisons you, it's fine to die for no apparent reason."

"What are you talking about?" Hearing what Zhao Minghe said, Xiao Qi felt sore in his heart.

Zhao Minghe used people cruelly, and she let her use them.When Zhao Minghe circled around the court and seized military power, she helped her arrange the layout and became a treacherous villain.

Whatever Zhao Minghe said, she would do.

However, he was only afraid that Zhao Minghe would not want to live.

She was afraid that she would deliberately seek death.

"It's been three years... I've treated her well." Zhao Minghe said. "But it still can't resist an order from that person."

"General... do you know who is going to kill you?"

"I can only know a general idea." Zhao Minghe said softly, then looked out the window and smiled. "Although I don't know her very well, she...is definitely a person who will take revenge."

"How do you see it?" Xiao Qi asked.

"It was Ye Weiqing who poisoned me." Zhao Minghe replied. "As long as it touches a little bit, it will be dead, even if there is an antidote, it won't work. Except for the miserable death, it is comparable to Huayeqing."

"But you, General..."

"This person is very smart. She knows that this time I set up everything. She cares about Lin Huiye, but she has always kept a low profile. Even when she poisons, she is clean and neat, without leaving any excuses." Zhao Minghe said, looking faintly. Xiao Qi asked. "You said how many people like this are around our emperor?"

Lin Jieyu would ask Yi Chen about Zhao Minghe's condition almost every day.

What did Zhao Minghe do in the general's mansion today? Did he go to court, or did he secretly collude with officials?

However, they couldn't find any results.

When he was in the General's Mansion, Zhao Minghe liked to play chess.During the previous dynasty, Zhao Minghe was proposing to deal with the plague and floods.In secret, she only interacted with the two generals Wei Qing and Liu Rui, and she didn't even fly out a carrier pigeon.

"Has Lingyin come back?" Another day, Lin Jieyu heard about Zhao Minghe's recent situation and asked Lingyin.

"Not yet." As soon as the ring tone was mentioned, Yi Chen's expression turned serious, and it took him a long time before he said it. "I'm afraid it's more bad luck than good luck."

"Lingyin has always been meticulous in her work, and Ye Weiqing is colorless and tasteless..." Lin Jieyu said lightly. "Why didn't Zhao Minghe fall for it? Could it be that someone drank it for her again?"

"This...subordinates don't know." Yi Chen replied.

"Go down." Lin Jieyu said lightly. "Go to Lingyin. If she is still alive, bring her back. If she is dead, treat her family well. This is what I agreed with her."

"Yes." Yi Chen responded and stepped back.

A few months passed, but Lin Jieyu still heard from Yi Chen that Zhao Minghe proposed to build a temple in the previous court to appease the people in the plagued area and suppress evil spirits.She also proposed building dikes to prevent further flooding.Although these suggestions are good, Lin Jieyu always feels that something is wrong.

"My lord, what do you think is wrong?" Seeing Lin Jieyu pondering, Yi Chen asked.

"I always feel that Zhao Minghe is not such a person who supports justice."

"You mean..."

"At least, she doesn't really want me to prosper." Lin Jieyu said.

"This……"

"Look at the previous dynasty, she cured floods and plagues, built temples, and built dams. They were all things that benefited the country and the country. But I don't want our country to fight for years, and the treasury is in a deficit." Lin Jieyu frowned. "Now the Xiongnu is staring at our dynasty, and the surrounding small countries are spying on our dynasty. Spending money like her is like declaring war with other countries."

"General Zhao is naturally belligerent, but it won't trigger a war." Hearing what Lin Jieyu said, Yi Chen said.

"I'm afraid she's a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking."

"That……"

"If I'm not wrong." Lin Jieyu suddenly stood up from the spot and sneered. "She's just trying to slowly empty the treasury."

"Where are you going?"

"Go see Hui Ye."
