Spring Banquet - Chapter 55

Li Huaiyu detoured to Mingshan Palace with his memory.

The moonlight was silent, giving this already deserted place a layer of gloom. She stepped on the horizontal withered grass on the ground and gently opened the door of the inner palace.

The emperors of the past dynasties will have a secret room to store important objects and documents. Mingshan Palace is the secret room of Emperor Xiao.

When his father was dying, he told her that when Huai Lin was fifteen years old and could be alone, she could come here to find what he left behind.

On February 20th of the eighth year of Daxing, Li Huailin turned fifteen years old, and she came here as promised, opening the organs expectantly, thinking that the emperor must have left them some treasure.

Unfortunately, Mingshan Palace has no treasures, only a secret she can’t bear.

At that time, Li Huaiyu could not accept it. After reading it, he went back to Feiyun Palace in a daze, forgetting to take away or destroy the thing. Later, Sima Xuyi was imprisoned and she never had the opportunity to come here.

Now that she changed her face and stood in front of the bookshelf in this side hall again, Huaiyu thought, when this matter is done, she can be a Bai Zhuji with complete peace of mind.

“Crack!” The mechanism on the bookshelf was twisted with a soft sound, and then the entire wall was cut off from the middle and retreated to both sides.

Thinking of Jiang Xuanjin who was still waiting on the rockery, she curled her lips with jade, and smiled as she walked in, thinking about how she would tease this drunk person.

However, looking up into the secret room, Huaiyu’s smile was frozen on his face.

Candles were burning in the secret room, and Liu Yunlie, in a vine-green and splendid robe, stood in front of the book table ten steps away from her. Holding a folded bright yellow document in his hand, she looked at her in shock, as if she had been greatly frightened.

My heart sank, a chill came up from his ankles, freezing Li Huaiyu’s whole body to the ground, almost unable to stand firmly.

“How will you be here?!”

When Huaiyu yelled out these words subconsciously, Huaiyu felt that it was wrong, and hurriedly turned around to run.

“Stop!” Liu Yunlie came forward and grabbed her wrist, reacted extremely quickly and pressed the next mechanism, closing the door of the secret room again.

The last wind that slipped in blew the candles on the table.

“Who are you anyway?!” He snarled. The strength in his hands was extremely strong, and his voice trembled a little, and he was obviously shocked.

Huaiyu was stiff, looked at the person in front of him without blinking, and then said for a while: “Master Liu doesn’t even know me?”

How could he not recognize it? Every time he saw her, he would feel uncomfortable. He thought it was a sequelae from the last fight, but now it’s not completely clear.

“Bai Zhuji…” Liu Yunlie murmured and repeated her name, trying to suppress her struggle.

He checked Bai Zhuji. Before this person recovered his sanity, he had no friendship with anyone outside the house. Suddenly he knew Lu Jingxing and he was already very strange, and he was still here now.

Except for him and your majesty, only the princess knows.

Li Huaiyu felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat, twisting his wrists to break him away, but his strength was not as strong, so he could only lean against the wall and wait for the opportunity.

She had fought him, and she knew in her heart that if she really let him go and fight, Bai Zhuji would definitely not be an opponent.

Dispel the killing intent in my heart. Li Huaiyu rolled his eyes and gave up the struggle: “Master Liu, what are you doing?”

“I want to pretend to be garlic?” Liu Yunlie returned to his senses, pressing her elbow against her throat and pressing her against the wall with a brutal expression in his eyes, “Fourth Miss Bai family, she suddenly recovered from the stupid three years. Not only can she speak well, but also suddenly I learned martial arts. Lu Jingxing gave you a dowry, and Xu Xian, Han Xiao, and Yun Lanqing gave you a maiden seat. Now you are here again.”

“His Royal Highness, the Weichen has missed far to welcome him.”

Li Huaiyu shook, don’t open his eyes and said, “What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

The strength in his hand gradually increased, and Liu Yunlie sneered: “It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand it, you came here by yourself today. Since you like Mingshan Palace so much, you might as well sleep here.”

The neck was too heavy to breathe, and Huaiyu frowned in pain: “Wait…wait! You want me to die, let me know it anyway!”

After a pause, Liu Yunlie glanced at her and slightly released her hand.

“I really don’t know what your Royal Highness.” Huaiyu quickly said when he got the chance, “I just walked over here at will…”

“Then opened the mechanism here?” Crudely interrupting her lie, Liu Yunlie’s hand was pressed tightly again, “If you just want to say this, then the minister will send it to your Highness.”

This doesn’t work.

Liu Yunlie really planned to kill her, and he didn’t show any mercy.

Li Huaiyu panicked, taking advantage of his throat being able to barely utter a voice, he shouted with difficulty: “Liu…Liu Yan!”

Hearing his name, Liu Yunlie sneered: “His Royal Highness is finally willing to admit it?”

Don’t you admit it when you die? She is not stupid! Huaiyu nodded repeatedly, motioning for him to let her go first.

With a half inch loosened, Liu Yunlie’s eyes were sharp and clear: “So the strange behavior of Jun Ziyang for so long is that you are bewitching in secret!”

Taking a quick breath, Li Huaiyu looked up at him: “Who is Monarch Ziyang? Can I confuse him? He is just doing what he thinks is right.”

“Heh.” Liu Yunlie shook his head, “His Royal Highness is humble. Without you trying to make a bridge, how could he find Qi Han so quickly.”

The progress of Jiang Xuanjin’s overturning the case happened to be stuck with Qi Han, and Li Huaiyu almost felt that Qi Han was the murderer behind the scenes. But now when she heard Liu Yunlie’s words, she understood.

He is the one who hides the deepest.

She was tight, Huaiyu lowered her eyes, and whispered weakly: “Anyway, I have fallen into your hands. Why sit down and talk?”

“Don’t dare.” Liu Yunlie’s eyes were deep with his hand still between her throat. “The princess has learned a lot about the methods of the minister. If you want to talk, just talk like that.”

Don’t give me a chance? Huaiyu’s heart sank hard.

Liu Yunlie seemed to have suspected her early in the morning, so knowing the truth now is more like recalling and checking what he knew than shock. One by one, she confirmed her identity.

After a while, the eyes that fell on her face were no longer panic, and people became calmer.

Seeing that he seemed to have nothing to ask, Li Huaiyu asked him, “Why do you know this place?”

When the father was dying, she and Huailin were the only ones by her side, and even Jiang Xuanjin was standing outside the hall. It stands to reason that no one else would know this, not to mention Liu Yunlie was still a foreign minister.

The person in front of him seemed to smile but not smile: “His Royal Highness has the answer in his heart, so why bother to ask the minister?

Except for her, the only people who know here are…

Huailin.

Deeply frowned. Li Huaiyu shook his head: “It is impossible that he told you.”

Not to mention that Huailin was only seven years old when his father died. He doesn’t necessarily remember this at all. Even if he remembered, there was no reason to tell Liu Yunlie.

This person is talking about her.

“Since your Royal Highness doesn’t believe it, there is nothing we can do about it.” Liu Yunlie half-closed his eyes, “Your Royal Highness also has questions.”

“You ask.” Li Huaiyu was very sincere in earning more time to live: “I will answer what you ask!”

“How did you survive?” This is what Liu Yunlie wants to know most.

People cannot be resurrected from death. This is a word passed down from the ancestors, but why is the person in front of him clearly dead, but can stand here and talk to him again through someone else’s body?

Eyelids droop. Huaiyu said, “You won’t believe this kind of thing if I say it.”

“Let’s talk.”

The usual silly lies can no longer pass Liu Yunlie’s ears, Huaiyu thought about it seriously, and suddenly got an idea.

“I got a treasure before I was alive, which can keep people’s souls and bring them back to life.” She lowered her voice, and she said, “I have a chance to come back thanks to the treasure.”

treasure? Liu Yunlie looked at her coldly: “Want to fool me?”

“No, no!” Li Huaiyu stomped, “I really didn’t lie to you! Do you remember that the Eastern Jin Dynasty visited the Northern Wei Dynasty in the fourth year of Daxing? Among the treasures presented by Baihuajun. There is a jade pendant with an odd shape! I didn’t know the purpose at the time, but After I died, the soul was absorbed by it, and then Miss Bai Si drowned and died, and I came to her.”

Anyway, no one else has died, who can tell the truth of her words?

The living facts were in front of him, and Liu Yunlie was convinced even if he didn’t believe it, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

“Where is the jade pendant now?”

People are afraid of death, and the more powerful people are, the more fearful it is for the superior. Longevity and resurrection are precious treasures.

Huaiyu saw the vitality and finally smiled: “My lord, my life is now in your hands. You really killed me. I have to rely on that baby to survive. How can I tell you its whereabouts?”

Live once, can you live again? If you get that thing, won’t you never die?

Liu Yunlie frowned, half-closed his eyes, as if thinking about something.

“Actually, I live this time. I just want to clean up my grievances for myself.” Huaiyu sighed, “Who do you think I killed? Those who went to jail and convicted, which one has not received retribution? It is necessary to kill me. When the case is turned over, I will stay by Jiang Xuanjin’s side honestly, and will not hinder you any more.”

“Do you still want to go back to him?” Liu Yunlie sneered, “Tell him to know who you are, do you think you can live?”

In the past, his greatest enemy resurrected his soul and became his wife, calculating, using, and loving him. To reverse the case for myself.

If Jiang Xuanjin knew this…

His eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly let go of her.

“Cough cough cough!” The pressure on the neck was gone, and Huaiyu coughed when he bent down.

“Make a deal.” Liu Yunlie said, “I will let you go, and you will give me that treasure.”

Secretly curling his lips, Huaiyu said: “My lord is talking about it?”

“The organ is right next to you. You can open the door and go out now.” Liu Yunlie said, “But if I can’t find the jade pendant, I will definitely expose your identity and let you be given another poisoned wine.”

how is this possible? Once she went out, the old case was reversed and the charges were eliminated. Huailin knew her identity, and it was too late to be happy. How could he still give poisonous wine?

Secretly curling his lips, Li Huaiyu stood up straight and said: “I’ll leave here first, and when it’s safe, let the person send the jade pendant to the adult.”

Liu Yunlie stood with his hand holding his hand, watching her touch the wall mechanism, and said in a meaningful way: “Your life is hard to come by. Your Highness can cherish it, so don’t play any more moths.”

“My lord, don’t worry.” The wall cracked, and the clear wind blew in from outside. Huaiyu took a deep breath and walked out calmly carrying her skirt.

Mingshan Palace is still very quiet, but the banquet in the Joy Palace in the distance seems to have broken up, and the previous lively sound is gone.

His hands trembled a little, and his footsteps were a little vain. Li Huaiyu didn’t dare to look back at all. He walked faster and faster, and rushed as if he left Mingshan Palace.

It seemed like a nightmare. No, she never dreamed that she would see Liu Yunlie in the secret room! What should we do now? Knowing her identity, Liu Yunlie could tell Jiang Xuanjin at any time that everything would be over.

He let her go today just because he wanted the treasure, what about after the treasure was given to him? Her secret was in his hands, and he was the one who always wanted her to die. It was self-evident what the outcome would be.

Can’t let Liu Yunlie live.

Realizing this, her mind turned quickly.

Going back to Mingshan Palace along the palace road, Huaiyu’s expression calmed down and wanted to pick up Jiang Xuanjin who was waiting for her on the rockery.

However, she seemed to have been delayed for too long, the palace banquet was over, and there was no one on the rockery.

Feeling a little flustered, she stopped the people passing by and asked, “Did you see Monarch Ziyang?”

Coincidentally, this person turned around and it was Yun Lanqing. He glanced at her in surprise: “Mrs. Jun? You have been waiting for you for a long time, but he has been here for a long time and refused to leave. But he He was so drunk that several Jiang masters took him back to the house.”

Seeing him, Huaiyu’s eyes were very complicated, she squeezed her fist and opened her mouth to say something, then swallowed back.

Looking at her expression, Yun Lanqing’s eyes were slightly deep: “I always have a question to ask Madam below.”

“How did Madam know that there is a problem with the Luohua River dyke?”

The heart was in a state of confusion, Huaiyu didn’t even have the strength to go around with him, and said with a blank face: “Do you also suspect that I am Danyang?”

Such a direct sentence made Yun Lanqing dumbfounded.

“I don’t have time to talk to you too much now.” Huaiyu looked down, her voice trembling, “Lan Qing, you help me tell Lu Jingxing, let Jiwu and the others be ready, I have someone to kill.”

I have someone to kill.

This rampant and arrogant tone instantly caused Yun Lanqing to return to the Feiyun Palace half a year ago, and suddenly saw the person in the palace costume but not sitting in the slightest, and said to them with his legs folded:

“I have come to work, adults, catch a moth, think of a way to kill him.”

…

“His Royal Highness?” Yun Lanqing tentatively yelled the person in front of him, with surprise and suspicion in her eyes.

Huaiyu nodded, his legs softened and squatted on the ground: “You follow me… do what I said.”

Han Xiao at the back was looking for people everywhere. He walked over to see his back and shouted carelessly: “Lan Qing, I have been looking for you for a long time…”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Bai Zhuji hidden by his back.

“Hey, why is Madam Jun here too?” Han Xiao was surprised, “People from the Jiang family are looking for you everywhere.”

Huaiyu looked at him helplessly, no longer had the strength to explain, shook his head and stood up on his knees. When he was about to turn around, he saw Liu Yunlie coming back.

After breathing, she stopped opening her eyes and froze in place, not daring to move at all.

“What’s wrong?” Han Xiao didn’t know anything, and looked at her curiously. “Mrs. Jun is also drunk? His face is so ugly.”

Liu Yunlie walked over step by step, with a smile on his face. He stood not far away and said, “How many adults are going to leave?”

Yun Lanqing sensed Li Huaiyu’s anxiety and stepped forward to protect her from behind, and bowed his hands in return: “The palace banquet is gone.”

“Then everyone, walk slowly.” Liu Yunlie raised his eyes, looked at the person behind Yun Lanqing, and said with a chuckle, “Mrs. Jun also walk slowly.”

After speaking, he continued to go to the Palace of Joy.

Han Xiao frowned and looked at his back, and muttered: “Why is this person so yin and yang today?”

Yun Lanqing turned around, looked at Huaiyu and asked, “Is something wrong?”

Huaiyu shook his head and said softly: “Excuse me, can you give me a ride?”

“Good.” Yun Lanqing agreed without thinking about it.

Han Xiao stunned: “This… Lan Qing, are you okay?”

Isn’t he always indifferent to nosy?

Pulling him over, Yun Lanqing said: “When I have time, I will explain to you. First, send the palace…First send Mrs. Jun back to Jiang Mansion.”

Look at his solemn expression. Han Xiao also knew that there was a reason for the matter, and hurriedly followed Mrs. Jun with him, without asking more questions.

Back at Moju, Huaiyu went to Qingsi first, and said in a low voice, “I need your help.”

Seeing her pale face, Qing Si was startled, and looked up and down at her. She was relieved when she saw that there was nothing hurt, and nodded to her.

I went to find a piece of jade pendant in the makeup box, Huaiyu said, “I was found out by Liu Yunlie. I must kill him now. You take this to Lu Jingxing and he will help you arrange manpower.”

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Qing Si’s eyes became cold, and when she heard the task at the end, she got up and put the jade pendant into her arms.

“Be careful.” Huaiyu exhorted.

“You still have to go and see the Lord first.” Qing Si curtly bowed, leaving such a sentence before leaving.

What happened to Jiang Xuanjin? Huaiyu settled down and left the wing to the main building.

The main building was quiet, Chengxu and Yufeng were standing outside the door, afraid to enter, when they saw her coming. The two immediately pushed the door open, beckoning her to enter quickly.

Expecting that it would be difficult to cope with that person after being drunk, Huaiyu was ready to coax him to sleep.

However, when he entered the door and raised his eyes, the person sitting in the room had clear eyes, and he was sober up.

“Where have you been?” he asked coldly.

With a heartbeat, Li Huaiyu hurriedly greeted him and sat in front of him and said, “I was lost. I wanted to pour you tea, but I lost my way as I walked. It was Master Yun that Master Han ran into me and sent me off. Come back.”

Dark eyes staring at her motionless, Jiang Xuanjin said: “You lied to me again.”

The whole body tightened, Huaiyu thought he had found something, and the blood on his lips disappeared completely.

However, what the man said next was: “I waited for you for half an hour at the rockery. If you get lost, you can forget it?”

For a moment, Huaiyu laughed, “You said this?”

“Do you have anything else to lie to me?” Jiang Xuanjin raised her eyebrows.

“No no!” Huaiyu quickly took his hand and said softly. “How could I lie to you? I didn’t mean to get lost. Don’t be angry, OK?”

Jiang Xuanjin was very upset, looking at her with a gloomy face.

Having just experienced a frightening escape, when seeing him now, Huaiyu felt a bit sore in his nose, and when he threw forward, he hugged his waist and said hoarsely, “Don’t be angry…”

It sounds like crying.

Jiang Xuanjin was startled and felt her body trembling slightly, and the anger in her heart suddenly disappeared. Reached out and patted her apostasy: “The bully, did he cry first?”

“I didn’t bully you.” Huaiyu choked.

“…” Holding her shoulders and raising her head, Jiang Xuanjin frowned and looked at her red eyes, “What happened?”

Huaiyu shook his head, hooked his hand to his neck, and hugged him tightly.

“Shall we go out in Beijing to play for a while?” she asked in a low voice.

Jiang Xuanjin thought for a while, and said, “Qi Han will return to Beijing tomorrow. I will take him to confront his Majesty. When the old case of Sima Xu is closed, I will ask Xiu to take you out for a walk.”

Huaiyu shook his head: “I want to leave immediately.”

She had a bad feeling in her heart. If you can take Jiang Xuanjin out of Kyoto…

“No.” He said, “I am the case chief and cannot leave until the case is over.”

Tears came up, Huaiyu looked at him blankly.

“Don’t be willful.” Jiang Xuanjin stretched out her hand and wiped her tears, “I have something I must do.”

What he wanted to do was naturally much more important than her little temper. Li Huaiyu nodded her head obediently, but the tears kept falling.

“Okay.” He hugged her, changed her bedding and unknotted her hair, and put her to sit on the bed.

Huaiyu grabbed the quilt under him and looked at him. I opened my mouth to ask something to reassure myself, but I was afraid of making him suspicious, so I could only look down in silence.

After the light went out, as soon as Jiang Xuanjin lay on the bed, the person next to her pressed on.

“Jiang Jie,” she said softly, “I really like you.”

He was taken aback for a moment, and he was a little uncomfortable not to start: “What do you say about this suddenly?”

“I’m afraid you don’t know, so I must tell you.” Apricot eyes sparkled in the darkness, and Huaiyu lowered his head against his forehead and said seriously, “I want to give you a baby. .”

The hand placed on her waist suddenly tightened, and when the person under her moved, he turned and pressed her back against the pillow.

Reaching out and rubbing the outline of his face, Huaiyu grinned: “You look so good, I want to peel you all the sweetest oranges in the world.”

I used to say this to tease him, just want to see him flushed with anger. But right now, she said this sentence sincerely. If this catastrophe can escape, she will definitely not lie to him again, she must… peel him big and sweet oranges.

Jiang Xuanjin only regarded her as a greasy tongue. With a soft snort, she lowered her head and bit her mouth, licked the tip of her tongue lightly, and said annoyed: “You have already eaten the sweetest orange.”

Otherwise, why is she so sweet?

Huaiyu laughed, hooked his waist and wrapped it around.

In the good middle of August, it rained unexpectedly in the middle of the night, and the patter of rain was blown into the main building by the wind and wet the clothes hanging on the screen.

The bare skin felt Qiu Yu’s fresh air, Huaiyu pulled up the quilt and shivered gently.
