Chapter 70: The Gears of Destiny

Lin Jieyu always felt that these days, there were more birds passing by in the sky than usual, among which white doves were more successful.As long as she walked out of the Hall of All Souls every day, she could find that there were always four or five white doves passing through the air.In the next few days, Lin Jieyu began to observe the pigeons, and it took an hour to see them.

In this way, she watched for a long time, and Xiaozhu also found out.

When it was approaching dusk on another day, Xiao Zhu saw Lin Jieyu standing in the atrium of the Hall of All Souls looking up at the sky again, and the red glow fell from the zenith, enveloping the woman in it.

"Master..." Shocked by such a scene, Xiaozhu wanted to step forward to ask the truth, but at this moment, Lin Jieyu stretched out his hand toward the sky.Almost at the same time as he stretched out his hand, the white dove in the sky fell down and landed in Lin Jieyu's hand.

Xiao Zhu was startled, and then saw Lin Jieyu take a note from the pigeon's claw, Xiao Zhu had never seen Lin Jieyu staring at a note so solemnly, and it took him so long to look at it .

Seeing Lin Jieyu standing still, Xiaozhu just wanted to go forward when he saw Lin Jieyu raised his head and looked over here.At the moment when Lin Jieyu looked at each other, Xiaozhu felt his whole body go cold.

She... her master...

She has been with her master for nearly ten years...at this moment...it turns out to be a pair of red pupils!

That kind of red is as if the rays of the sun are stained with blood... cold and coquettish... just... like... it's in her story...

"Monster...youkai..." Xiaozhu murmured subconsciously, turned around and ran, but before she could take two steps, she felt her legs go limp, and she fell a big somersault.However, she didn't give up, and wanted to get up and continue running, but it was a pity that the fall was too heavy and she couldn't get up anyway.

"No... don't come here! Don't... woo woo woo... woo woo..." The terrified Xiaozhu hugged her head and was about to cry.However, after a while, another court lady asked.

"Xiaozhu, what are you doing here lying on your stomach?"

Xiao Zhu obviously heard the voice of the palace lady, so she dared to stand up and look back, only to find that there was nothing in the atrium.

When returning to the dormitory, Lin Jieyu was thinking about the note all the time.There are only four words "return to the country quickly" on the small note, but with these few words, too much content has been exposed.

These four words only indicate one meaning, that is, there are subjects in the palace who do not belong to the Pan Dynasty.This person...is being urged to return home, and then...

Lin Jieyu pondered and observed repeatedly, only to find that these four characters were not any font she had ever seen.However, the pigeon was even more strange. After being touched by him, it stopped flying and became a useless bird.

"Do you think I won't be able to track you down like this?" Lin Jieyu sneered while holding the note after keeping the pigeon in the temple. "No matter how deep you hide, I can... find you out."

However, before Lin Jieyu could find out the ins and outs of these pigeons, another major event happened in the palace.That is the death of Wang Yao, Shangshu of the household department.

Wang Yao was greedy and lustful all his life, which was well-known in the whole Pan Dynasty, but because he surrounded himself very tightly and was able to grab money, Lin Huiye never dealt with him.But now that he died so suddenly, it undoubtedly left a huge vacancy.

Dali Temple Minister conducted a thorough investigation of Wang Yao's Hubu Shangshu Mansion for this case. Except for the discovery of extremely astonishing property, there was no other abnormality.

After repeated interrogation, his tigress-like wife cried out.

"Your Excellency...you don't know... Wang Yao, who has been dead for nearly half a year, hardly ever returns to his home. He stays in Rongxiang Tower in the middle of the night. It is said that he is the number one girl who hired Rongxiang Tower. I repeated it over and over again. I really want to go to Rongxiang Building to see what happened, but this dead man is so close to that vixen, I have never even seen her face. I think what good a vixen can do... Empty skin is designed to harm people... No... this dead man is really dead... When I saw him...he was already covered in blood...you...you must thoroughly investigate..."

"It's covered in blood?" Dali Siqing frowned. "Dead at home?"

"Yes... I don't know what's wrong... But I know that I have absolutely nothing to do with that vixen!" The woman continued to cry. "He's dead...I'm not afraid that you will know...that oiran's status is sky-high...Ordinary people can't afford it...Ever since Wang Yao took care of her half a year ago, she hasn't shown her face anymore .besides……"

Dali Siqing just sat in the Hubu Shangshu Mansion all afternoon, listening to the ins and outs of the matter over and over again, but still had no clue.

Until... the news of Kuang Yin's death came.

Kuang Yin died on the second day after Wang Yao's death. Before he died, he was in a trance, lying on the bed in Taifu's mansion, saying that his chance had come.People in his family asked him what the opportunity was, but he just opened his eyes, his blood was surging, and he just didn't say a word.

Just tossing and tossing over and over again... People have already left before dawn.

However, Kuang Yin died of illness, so there should be nothing suspicious about it.

But Mrs. Ju Taifu said... Kuang Yin also often goes to Rongxiang Building recently...

Once you go, you will not be able to return until late at night.

It has been repeated like this for more than a month.

"You said... I can understand that Wang Yao went to Rongxiang Tower." During lunch, Tang Ruian said while eating. "But how old is Kuang Yin... Is his |talk| still tough?"

"Ruian..." Zong Ren could only sigh softly when Tang Ruian spoke freely. "Apart from that, is there anything else in your world?"

"Yes." Tang Rui'an said.

"What?" Zong Ren didn't want to ask, but asked anyway.

"Be a good speaker."

"..."

"What? Why do you have this expression?" Seeing Zongren's silence, Tang Ruian asked in puzzlement.

"Eat vegetables... let's eat vegetables."

"Rongxiang Building?" At midnight, Lin Huiye finally stood up from behind the desk. "It's a place that dares to provoke me."

"Yes." Lin Jieyu said. "Do you want the minister to seal it?"

"I don't care if it's sealed or not," Lin Hui said at night. "I just want to know, what kind of woman can make me dare to disobey the court's laws and regulations?"

"A man always thinks about those things." Lin Jieyu said. "Even if the law says that the imperial court ordering officials not to go to the place of fireworks, there will always be some people sneaking there."

"Men always think about those things?" Hearing what Lin Jieyu said, Lin Huiye smiled. "What about the woman?"

"I don't know." Hearing what Lin Huiye said, Lin Jieyu bowed his head and took two steps back.

"What about you?" Seeing her reaction, Lin Huiye found it funny, took a step forward, wrapped his arms around Lin Jieyu's waist, and lifted her chin with his slender index finger.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." The moment Lin Jieyu raised his head, his heart softened.Lin Huiye's eyes were black, reflecting the candlelight, they were extremely deep.

"I was joking with you."

For Lin Jieyu, all the good things happened only at that moment. After Lin Huiye let go, those beautiful illusions disappeared, as if they never existed at all.

Lin Jieyu saw Lin Huiye walking towards the door of the study, walking slowly.

"Have you seen Xizi?"

Hearing the word Xizi, Lin Jieyu was startled.She didn't mention the name of the oiran to Lin Huiye, how did Lin Huiye know it?Could it be...the other hidden guards...

But who is it?

"What?" Seeing that Lin Jieyu didn't respond for a while, Lin Huiye stopped and asked.

"I haven't seen it before." Lin Jieyu said.

"I didn't see it when I went to Rongxiang Building to pretend to be an oiran?" Lin Huiye smiled, opened the door and walked out.

"Chen... only pretended for a day, and besides... at that time, the oiran hadn't appeared yet." Lin Jieyu followed closely.

"Nearly a year?"

"To be precise, it appeared in the past six months after gaining fame." Lin Jieyu added.

"Go and bring her, I want to ask her, except for the two big corrupt officials whom I haven't got rid of for so long, why was she killed so easily?"

"Your Majesty." Not knowing Lin Huiye's temperament, Lin Jieyu didn't know whether Lin Huiye really appreciated it when he said this.She just smiled wryly. "This oiran...has disappeared."

"Missing?"

"It's said that once something happens, people can't be found."

"Can't even find Anbu?"

"Chen... is still ordering people to look for him."

"En." Lin Huiye replied softly, as if she was a little sleepy, she yawned and said lazily. "When you find her, kill her, and you don't need to report to me."

"Did you just want to see her...?" After hearing the "kill" order, Lin Jieyu was startled.

"That's what I said." Seeing that Lin Jieyu was puzzled, Lin Huiye turned his head and smiled. "I am worthy of her humble life when I went to two order officials to send her alone."
