Chapter 328: The Emperor's Trust
Meng E came back in the evening, went to eat first, and then stood in the corner, as if she had never left, Zhang Youcai wanted to ask her where she had gone several times, but she couldn't hold back the words until she got an answer, Meng E was obviously waiting for him to leave.

Han Ruzi slept again in the afternoon, and after waking up, he felt in good spirits, ate a little food, and even asked Liu Jie to send some official documents, the connection with the capital has been interrupted, these official documents are from the generals and officials in the city, Han Ruzi looked at it for a while, and felt sleepy again.
He has been sleeping on the chair for the past few days, and wants to move to the big bed to rest tonight, Zhang Youcai asked someone to send a bath bucket, serve the emperor to take a bath, and put on new clothes, so that he can sleep more comfortably, during which Meng E has been there, looking away, the eunuchs treat her as a palace maid, and they don't care about it.
Everything was cleaned up, Zhang Youcai didn't have to stay by the emperor's side at any time, and when he left the room, he glanced at Meng E deeply, but Meng E didn't give him any response.
There were only two people left, Han Ruzi was lying on the bed, still feeling tired, but no longer weak and weak, and his physical strength seemed to be recovering little by little.
After being quiet for a while, Meng E blew out the candle and was about to retreat to the corner, Han Ruzi had to speak first: "Are you helping me practice?" β
"yes, didn't I already say that?"
"The timing is not right......"
"Timing? There's no better time, you're stuck in the city right now, you can't do anything, just practice. β
Han Ruzi opened his mouth and thought about it carefully, Meng E was really right, he was now isolated from the outside world, unable to deal with national affairs, and he didn't need to contribute to defending the city, so there was really nothing to do.
"The Emperor...... It's like a flag, you have to set it up there when you have anything to do, and let everyone see it as much as possible, don't you want to learn the art of the emperor? Here it is. β
Meng E was silent for a while and said, "If someone wants to destroy this flag, and they have already stood under the flag, will the flag continue to stand there?" Don't hide either? β
"Huh?" Han Ruzi used the analogy first, but now he is a little incomprehensible, "You mean that someone wants to harm me?" Outside the city are the Huns, and they still need intrigues? β
"Don't worry, things will come to light in a few days, and then Your Majesty will naturally understand that the most important thing Your Majesty needs to do now is to take care of your body."
Han Ruzi closed his eyes, but he couldn't sleep, and said, "You have to tell me the truth, why was your medicine mistaken for poisoning by the imperial doctor?" The symptoms are almost the same for both. There was no response, "Meng E, are you still there?" β
Meng E had already said goodbye.
Han Ruzi sighed, Meng E's character, it was really difficult to learn the art of the emperor, but he finally confirmed that Meng E did not mean to harm him.
He waited for a while, slowly sleepy, and finally fell into a deep sleep.
I don't know how long it has been, Han Ruzi suddenly opened his eyes, was stunned for a while, and realized that he was listening to the sound of the piano, but it was completely different from before, the tune almost unchanged, but the feeling was different.
This surprised him, so he listened carefully and finally understood the difference.
Before that, Han Ruzi heard all the main and positive sounds, and somehow ignored most of the sounds of objects and odds, and it was precisely the latter that was the source of the "beautiful sound".
The "Lord" is sitting upright, and the "Bin" is trying his best to tease, which is the whole content of the empty music song, and it is probably chosen such a name to hide people's eyes and ears.
The more Han Ruzi listened, the more surprised he became, and the more he listened, the more he disliked it.
The sound of the piano stopped abruptly.
After a while, Meng E's voice suddenly came from the corner, "It seems that I won't be here tonight." β
"Who won't come?" Han Ruzi sat up, barefoot on the ground, felt that his physical strength had recovered a lot, his mind had basically returned to his senses, the fatigue of not caring about anything disappeared without a trace, and he could no longer bear to be kept in the dark.
"The luthier."
"Why did the luthier come?"
"Your Majesty needs to rest."
"What I need is an answer."
"Well, what does Your Majesty want to know?"
Han Ruzi lay down for too long, his legs were a little numb, and he slowly moved in the dark for a while, first put down the matter of the pianist, and asked the most important thing: "Why do I have symptoms of poisoning?" β
"Because Your Majesty is indeed poisoned."
Han Ruzi was stunned for a moment, "You poisoned?" β
"To be precise, it was poisoned by everyone around His Majesty."
"Huh?"
"The incense I ordered, the tea and rice offered by Zhang Youcai, the official document sent by Liu Jie, and the sachets that King Donghai and Cui Teng carried with them...... We're poisoned together. β
Han Ruzi touched the table in the dark, pressed one hand on it, and gently shook his two feet in turn, "What a complicated poison." β
"Everything alone is not poisonous, but together it is highly poisonous, and only in this way can it be poisoned without showing traces, and it is extremely difficult to cure afterwards."
Among the many "poisoners", only Meng E has the whole situation, and the others are unaware of it, and they are inadvertently used, and they can't say anything during the investigation.
"But can you detoxify?"
"Well, after trying poisoning once, I know how to detoxify, Your Majesty has already taken the antidote."
Han Ruzi felt that his legs could support his body, but he was even more sore, "Why are you in a hurry to find an antidote?" After a pause, he added another question: "Why do you have to try it on me?" β
"Because the person who really poisoned him is about to do it, I must take the lead, and use it on His Majesty to lure out this person."
Han Ruzi was dumbfounded, "Brought out?" β
"Well, I've seen him during the day."
Han Ruzi waited for a while, "You're not going to tell me who it is?" β
"I thought Your Majesty would ask the next questionβit's Hua Bin."
"Flowers? He's going to poison me? "Han Ruzi is a little hard to believe, Hua Bin is locked up in the honor guard camp, it is difficult to protect herself, how can she poison the emperor?
"Your Majesty went north to patrol and hunt, and the route was determined in advance, and it was originally planned to stay in Jincheng for three to five days, and then set off after meeting with the northern army."
"Yes, this is the route determined by the Ministry of War."
"All localities must prepare in advance to welcome Your Majesty, so this route has long been leaked out, and a group of Jianghu people arrived in Jincheng ahead of schedule, intending to rescue Hua Bin here, and if possible, take the opportunity to kill Your Majesty."
"It's Jianghu people again, why don't they have to get along with Emperor Dachu?"
"It is said that there are some personal grievances in it, I don't know much about the specific situation, Your Majesty has a chance to ask Hua Bin."
"Hey, definitely asking." Han Ruzi returned to the bed and sat down, "How many helpers does Hua Bin have?" β
"Hua Bin didn't tell me that he would fully believe me only if he brought His Majesty's head."
Han Ruzi thought silently for a while, "What's the matter with Master Qin's daughter?" You seem to be wary of them, and they have a strange sound. β
"Your Majesty has heard all the pianos?"
"If I had known this was the case, I would never have taken them."
"Zhang Zhuhe and Zhang Qinyan are not real father and daughter, but master and apprentice, Zhang Zhuhe originally learned the piano skills in the East China Sea, and the martial arts of Yishi Island are quite related, His Majesty's internal skills have been a small success, so when I first heard the sound of the piano, I would feel like I was soaring."
"That's right, it seems to be helpful for cultivating internal strength, but you told me not to practice anymore."
"Things must be reversed, Your Majesty is not a real martial arts practitioner, the progress of the internal skills practiced is slow, but it is safe, and it does not consume too much energy, if it is urged by the sound of the qin, the progress is accelerated, and the gains will outweigh the losses."
"But I can hear it all now."
"Because I helped Your Majesty to get through the second pulse of Ren Du, although the internal strength has not increased much, but it can be controlled, Your Majesty can actually choose which piano sound to listen to, but I suggest that Your Majesty still listen to the current one."
"Is there really such a technique in the world that allows the listener to feel different sounds?" Han Ruzi has already been taught, and he still thinks it's incredible.
"You have to have the internal strength of Yishi Island to hear different piano sounds, Zhang Zhuhe didn't expect His Majesty to have internal strength, the original purpose of their father and daughter was just to lure His Majesty to accept beauty."
"No wonder the eunuchs are not affected, but why is Cui Teng not affected? He only likes Zhang Qinyan and has no interest in piano music. β
"I only know so much about the piano art, Zhang Zhuohe has already guessed that I am teaching His Majesty internal skills, and he is very wary of me, I can't ask anything."
Han Ruzi snorted, "Zhang Zhuhe is also a person from the rivers and lakes, will he be in the same group as Hua Bin?" β
"It's hard to say, I have no evidence."
Many doubts in Han Ruzi's heart were solved, and only one remained, strictly speaking, this was not a doubt, because he had already guessed the answer, "It was Yishi Island who told you these things, right?" β
Meng E snorted.
After escaping from Linzi, Meng E was well aware of the many dangers faced by the emperor, and suddenly he could both poison and detoxify, Han Ruzi could only come to one conclusion, "Yishi Island hopes that you can gain my trust, and then what?" What do they, or you, want from me? β
"Yishi Island hopes that there will be someone who will stay with the Great Chu Emperor at all times, and at that time they didn't expect the Huns to go so well."
"What about you?"
"Me? I just want to gain His Majesty's trust. β
Han Ruzi couldn't ask any more, Meng E told everything the truth, and indeed won the emperor's trust, as for how she will use this trust in the future, whether she will be an enemy of the emperor when Yishi Island gives an order, Han Ruzi can't predict, and any answer from Meng E is not enough.
"So you did these things on your own and without telling me."
"Your Majesty wants me to say it in advance?" Meng E seemed a little confused.
Han Ruzi couldn't cry or laugh, "Of course, I am the emperor, and the emperor must know everything, at least those things that are vital to life and death." β
"But as you said, bluffing is also an imperial technique, if I had explained it in advance, His Majesty's illness would not have been so similar, and I would not have been able to gain Hua Bin's trust."
"You're not an emperor yet, Meng E, you can learn the art of an emperor, but don't use it on me. It's not so easy for Hua Bin to poison me, if there is something similar in the future, you have to tell me in advance, if you can't do it, I can't let you stay around. β
"Okay." Meng E replied, "There is one thing now. β
"Well, let's talk about it."
"I'm going to take Your Majesty to escape from Jincheng, everything is planned, but I can only take Your Majesty alone."
Han Ruzi moved his two sore legs to the bed and said with a smile: "Run? I won't run away, Meng E, if you want to learn the art of the emperor, just observe it carefully, with a sword in your hand, who is still barehanded? After learning the art of the emperor, who would flee alone? β
"Great Chu Taizu ......"
"He wasn't an emperor at that time, look at it, Meng E, look at it." Han Ruzi gently rubbed the muscles in his legs, feeling that he would soon be able to run at will. (To be continued.) )
