Chapter 9: Killing the Dragon and Taking Blood

Lin Jieyu stayed on the roof of the General's Mansion in a half-kneeling position, until the blood in his body was completely dry before he tiptoed back.It's a pity that she lost too much blood and couldn't walk before returning to her dormitory.

I saw Lin Jieyu jumped over several eaves, and finally stopped gently on a treetop in the hidden part of the Hall of All Souls to rest.

Just when she was in a trance, she suddenly heard someone calling her not far away.

"Master." Yi Chen's familiar voice sounded beside her ear. "Welcome back."

"En." Lin Jieyu didn't even turn his head, just answered.

"You...today..." Yi Chen's words were on the verge of his mouth, but he couldn't find out the three words "where are you going?" "Have you been drinking?"

"Drink some." Lin Jieyu said. "The sweet-scented osmanthus brew that Hui Ye prepared for me."

"Why did you drink?" Yi Chen asked.In my impression, Lin Jieyu never drank alcohol, not even tea.

"I can't say why...every year at this time...my mood is very disturbed." Lin Jieyu smiled, then looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said calmly. "Want to kill."

"It just so happens that that person is Zhao Minghe." Hearing that Lin Jieyu had dismissed the matter so lightly, Yi Chen said unwillingly.

"I went after her." Lin Jieyu closed his eyes. "As long as she stays by His Majesty's side for a moment, I can't feel at ease for a moment. I'm always afraid that Kaguya will be killed by her at some point... Then, there will be no Kaguya in this world anymore. This is the first time I don't understand What does that person want to do, but I know that she must be planning a bigger conspiracy."

Yichen looked at Lin Jieyu without saying a word.

At this moment, this woman's face was whiter than paper, but she was still thinking about the emperor.

"Since you want to assassinate, why don't you let me go."

"Did you win me?" Lin Jieyu asked back.

Yi Chen hid in the darkness and said nothing.

Seeing his appearance, Lin Jieyu asked again with a smile. "The hidden guards in this palace, who won me?"

"You..." Lin Jieyu said arrogantly, but Yi Chen couldn't refute it.

He will always remember how Lin Jieyu stood out from the crowd of hidden guards.

She is like a white lotus, even though her whole body is covered with blood, she is still extremely clean.

From that moment, Yi Chen recognized his master.

His master is Lin Jieyu, the leader of the imperial guard, the strongest guard in the history of the dynasty.

"I shouldn't have lost." Lin Jieyu said, but it didn't seem like he was telling others.

"But you lost." Yi Chen said.

"Zhao Minghe is very unusual tonight." Speaking of this, Lin Jieyu opened his eyes and calmly looked at Yi Chen on another treetop. "Her pupils are red."

"Red?" Yichen recalled. "Although Great General Zhao has made great military exploits, he has never heard of rumors that she has red eyes."

"She has red eyes." When Lin Jieyu said this, his voice became cold. "Moreover, it's getting more and more popular... getting stronger and stronger."

"This……"

"That makes me feel that she has a power outside her body." Lin Jieyu murmured. "But... I don't know what it is, and where it came from..."

"It's not that you don't know what kind of person Zhao Minghe is in His Majesty's heart." Yi Chen looked at the dried blood on Lin Jieyu's body and said. "Even so, don't you leave yourself a way out?"

"If I kill Zhao Minghe, I will naturally save a lot of trouble in the future." Lin Jieyu said. "If Zhao Minghe can't be killed, I want to see how His Majesty will deal with me?"

"You never thought about it, what if you were killed?"

"Killed?" Lin Jieyu asked back, as if chewing on the meaning of the words.Then, Yichen listened to her talk. "That means I'm powerless to protect His Majesty in the palace. What's the point of dying?"

Yi Chen heard that there was some sadness in her words, but she didn't know where this sadness came from.

That night, Lin Jieyu kept dreaming.There was a huge full moon in the dream, and in the full moon was the figure of Zhao Minghe wielding a sword. She couldn't see her face clearly, but she knew that she must be smiling very coquettishly.

On the second day, Lin Jieyu woke up very early and went to Tianniao Pavilion together.For a whole day, except for the birds hovering over Tianniao Pavilion all day long, no one came here, not even an imperial decree.

That night, Lin Jieyu did not return to the Hall of All Souls, but continued to stay in the Tianniao Pavilion.However, apart from still dreaming about Zhao Minghe at night, nothing else happened.

In this way, Lin Jieyu waited for several sunrises and sunsets, and when she could no longer remember the day, the Tianniao Pavilion finally came.Although it was only a slight sound of stepping leaves, Lin Jieyu still caught it sensitively.She walked to the edge of the fence and looked down, and saw Lin Huiye bathed in sunlight.

"Jieyu." Lin Huiye looked up at her, and under the strong sunlight, she could only squint her eyes to look at Lin Jieyu.

"Your Majesty." After not seeing Lin Huiye's smile for a long time, Lin Jieyu suddenly felt that he had wasted several days.She saw Lin Huiye's expression was serene, with a serene smile, as if she didn't know about her assassination of Zhao Minghe.

"Yichen said that you have been retreating for the past few days, what is it?"

During Lin Huiye's questioning, Lin Jieyu had already come down to her side from the attic.

"I've been cleaning up for the Taishan sacrificial ceremony these days."

"Why didn't you report to me?" Lin Huiye asked.

Lin Jieyu didn't know how to answer, so he simply didn't answer.

Lin Huiye remained silent, as if waiting for Lin Jieyu's answer.

The chirping of birds in the forest seems like a lifetime away.

Finally, Lin Jieyu asked.

"Your Majesty... why do you want to come to Tianniao Pavilion today?"

"I haven't seen you for a long time, and I don't know when you will come to see me." Lin Huiye replied.

"minister……"

"I just want to hear you play the piano."

"I will play the piano for Your Majesty now." Hearing what Lin Huiye said, Lin Jieyu hurriedly invited her into the pavilion to sit.

Soon, the clear sound of the piano sounded from the Tianniao Pavilion, and Lin Huiye leaned against the railing and supported his head to listen to Lin Jieyu playing the piano.However, before Lin Jieyu finished playing a piece, he found that Lin Huiye had fallen asleep.Her back was facing the sun, her face was pale, and there was a lingering tiredness between her brows.

"Your Majesty?" Sensing that something was wrong, Lin Jieyu stepped forward and gently tugged on Lin Huiye's sleeve.

"Huh?" Lin Huiye was awakened by Lin Jieyu's shaking, and seeing Lin Jieyu's worried expression, he said. "Ah... did I fall asleep again?"

"Yes." Lin Jieyu replied.

"Perhaps I haven't had a good rest...I've been more sleepy lately..." Lin Huiye pinched the center of his brows, stood up and walked to Yangqin to bring Lin Jieyu back to his seat. "Keep playing, I'm listening."

Lin Jieyu saw that Lin Huiye was standing steadily, but finally he couldn't hold back her, and he knelt down and played the piano again.

However, just after playing a syllable, she heard a "boom".

Lin Huiye fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty?" Lin Jieyu panicked, and she quickly moved to Lin Huiye's side and hugged him, but no matter how she called Lin Huiye, the man still didn't respond. "His Majesty!!"

In the evening, Lin Huiye only woke up.As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Lin Jieyu sitting beside her bed, feeling her pulse.

"Xieyu? You don't know how to cultivate?" Lin Huiye asked.

"You're already like this, I don't know what to do." Lin Jieyu turned pale and said worriedly. "The imperial doctor just came to see you, I'm afraid you are not tired, but sick..."

"Really." Lin Huiye seemed to be still very sleepy, she closed her eyes, and then said. "What disease?"

"Moth disease." Lin Jieyu answered in a low voice as if he was suppressing something.

"Disease?" Lin Hui smiled at night. "It's all right."

"It's not a problem! Do you know what disease you have!" Seeing Lin Huiye's indifferent appearance, Lin Jieyu panicked.

"Isn't this my family's disease?" Lin Hui asked at night. "One or two of the royal blood relatives will get this disease every few generations, which means... I am the real royal blood. It's a pity... this blood will end with me."

"The imperial doctor said... that there is no cure for this disease. It took only two or three months from the initial lethargy and vomiting of blood to death. In the first two months, the patient's internal organs were all damaged. In the next month, The patient's hair was all white, and then died. Although this disease is terrible, it usually doesn't show up unless it suffers some serious injuries..."

Lin Huiye listened quietly, without saying a word.

"It's that glass of wine...it's that glass of wine..."

"Yuan Wei is already dead, what are you doing with that glass of wine?" Lin Huiye said with cold eyes.

"But..." But that wine is Zhao Huanghe...!

"I'm sleepy." Lin Huiye said without waiting for Lin Jieyu to finish speaking. "Tonight, I'll sleep by myself, you go to rest too."

"How can you do it if you don't eat something..." Seeing that Lin Huiye was really sleepy again, Lin Jieyu's voice suddenly softened.

"I'm sleepy." Lin Huiye turned over and turned his back to Lin Jieyu.After a long time, Lin Jieyu listened to her speak slowly. "Tomorrow morning, I have to go to court."

After Lin Huiye finished that sentence, he didn't say anything more.

Lin Jieyu didn't know how long he had been guarding her bedside, and finally got up and headed towards the Tai Hospital.

The fact that His Majesty the Emperor was ill quickly spread throughout the court, and most of the ministers' reports on the second day were related to moth disease.Lin Huiye sat on the throne and listened to their performance one by one.

"Kuang Aiqing, I see you've been waiting for a long time, so tell me." Lin Huiye glanced down, and finally spotted the Prime Minister Kuang Yin.

"I heard that His Majesty was ill last night, I immediately went to the imperial hospital to look up the books, and finally found a way to cure Your Majesty." However, Kuang Yin's words were astonishing as soon as he played.The whole court was full of sighs.

"tell me the story."

"Ancient books record that moth disease is a stubborn disease, and general medicines cannot completely cure it, but can only delay its development momentum. However, as long as you get one thing, your majesty can be cured." Kuang Yin said.

"Dragon's blood?" Hearing what Kuang Yin said, Lin Hui smiled at night, with frost in his smile.

"It's dragon's blood." Kuang Yin said.

"I heard in the early years that the former emperor also went to war for a while because of the dragon's blood. It's a pity that all the people he sent were wiped out. Throughout history, there is no successful example of obtaining dragon's blood. That's why the imperial physician said There is no cure." Lin Huiye said. "Dragon's blood is a thing of heaven, how can we get it."

"Since Your Majesty knows that there is such a thing, he has no choice but to try it." At this moment, Taiwei Liu stood up.Arched. "I think your majesty's dragon body is the foundation of our dynasty. If you don't fight for it knowing that there is a chance, you will feel sorry for the people of the world."

"Oh? Why don't I send you to kill dragons to get their blood? Or let the Taiwei show off your skills and make a great contribution." Lin Huiye raised his eyebrows and smiled when he heard Liu Taiwei say that he was neither humble nor overbearing.

"minister……"

"Your Majesty, although Liu Taiwei is a Taiwei, he may not be the most suitable candidate." Seeing that Liu Taiwei was in a dilemma, Kuang Yin took a step forward. "I have a recommendation from someone."

Lin Huiye looked at Kuang Yin coldly and remained silent for a while.

Kuang Yin was not embarrassed by her hanging there.

But at this moment, Zhao Huanghe took a step forward, bowed and began to play.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to slay dragons and draw blood for His Majesty's expedition to the extreme northern cold region."

"You!" Lin Huiye secretly prayed in his heart that Zhao Huanghe would not make any moves, but it always seemed to backfire.

"Your Majesty's dragon body is the foundation of our dynasty. I am willing to fight for your majesty, and even more for the dawn of the world."

"You... how do you know that the dragon is in the extreme north?"

"It just so happens that I was looking through ancient books in the Imperial Hospital last night, but I didn't see Mr. Prime Minister."

"You! I don't stay in the same place as you!" Kuang Yin said angrily after being exposed in public.

Zhao Huanghe ignored him, and then turned to Lin Huiye.

"But..." Zhao Huanghe said.If you listen carefully, you can hear a slight pleasant smile from Zhao Huanghe's words. "This time I go out, I must bring one person with me."

"Who?" Lin Huiye looked down at Zhao Huanghe condescendingly, unable to see her expression.

"When the left minister of the court, Lin Jieyu." Zhao Huanghe said.

"Why bring her?"

"I need to release your lord's precious blood to suppress evil." Zhao Huanghe continued. "I heard that the dragon that fell into the mortal world must be full of evil spirits. I'm afraid I can't suppress it alone."

"She has precious blood?" Lin Huiye narrowed his eyes slightly, with a dangerous aura enveloping him.

"I just heard about it." Zhao Huanghe said slowly. "However, I think that it is better to believe what is there than to believe what is not."
