Chapter 41: Reincarnation
Chen Yicong involuntarily took two steps back.
"You're saying that I'll become an emperor like my father?" Chen Yicong's voice revealed murderous intent, "Is that what you mean?" β
Heng Yuanjun shook his head.
"When the minister said this, he just wanted the emperor to understand the situation of Bai Siyao." Heng Yuanjun sighed softly, "The minister has said, whether it is to give Bai Si medicine chess game, or to inform the emperor of the news, the minister has his own reasons." β
Speaking of this, Heng Yuanjun's brows finally wrinkled a little bitterly.
"Guarded by people who are trusted and close to them, or even seen as a potential threat...... After all, it's not a good taste. He whispered, "I know too well...... So after thinking about it, after some hesitation, I couldn't help but tell the emperor about it. β
"The deceased is gone," Heng Yuanjun said softly, "Why continue to suffer yourself, the emperor might as well push the boat with the river, just let Bai Si Yao have a way to live, for her and you, it's the same thing-"
"Shut up!" Chen Yicong interrupted Heng Yuanjun's words again, "If you talk nonsense, I will kill you now." β
He propped himself up on the edge of the table next to him, his eyes reddening.
"I want proof." He looked straight at Heng Yuanjun, "I don't want to listen to these words, I want evidence!" β
ββ¦β¦ Minister, I can't do it. Heng Yuanjun sighed lightly, "The minister is already half-"
"Who do you want to use, what do you want to investigate, I can match you." Chen Yicong's voice was extremely low, almost hoarse, "Isn't this impossible?" β
Heng Yuanjun smiled.
"Well, you can do it."
"I'll only give you three days." Chen Yicong's eyes revealed the emperor's edge, "Three days, give me a definite answer, if you can't do it, you don't have to live in this Qin Garden anymore, I will arrange a suitable residence for you." β
"Minister...... Got it. Heng Yuanjun nodded solemnly.
Dropping this sentence, Chen Yicong quickly stepped out of the gate of the Qinyuan side courtyard.
This courtyard made him feel hateful, even disgusting, and he didn't want to see Heng Yuanjun's face for a moment, let alone listen to him say those inexplicable words.
In the cold and lonely Qinyuan at midnight, Chen Yicong walked in the snow and suddenly felt a sour nose.
Deep down, he suddenly felt that he was still the little child who needed someone to take care of and comfort, he needed someone to touch his hair, and he needed someone to wipe the tears from his face.
But those who loved him and loved him are gone, and no one will hold him and coax him like his mother.
Such a person may never be there again until he dies.
He reached out to wipe away the tears that kept pouring out of his eyes, and walked forward without saying a word, leaving a long mark on the snow.
β¦β¦
Heng Yuanjun lay on the couch half-asleep until the door opened, and he opened his eyes keenly.
Han Chong really came back with a paper bag of pine needles from Luzhou.
With the extra charcoal out of thin air tonight because of Chen Yicong's arrival, Heng Yuanjun skillfully began to cook water.
"When the subordinates came back, they saw that the mausoleum guards had walked almost two-thirds of the way." Han Chong sat on the ground beside Heng Yuanjun's fire, "It seems that Ming Gong expected it." β
"Hmm." Heng Yuanjun's eyes reflected the warm orange-red light of the fire, and this fire also made his face show a rare blood color.
ββ¦β¦ But how exactly did Ming Gong determine that Bai Ling was leaving? Han Chong frowned slightly, "The subordinates didn't see any luggage, even if the subordinates insisted on seeing it during the confrontation, it was just a mouthful of unfounded." β
"You don't need a certificate for this, you can just say that you have seen it." Heng Yuanjun glanced at Han Chong, "You are the certificate." β
Han Chong was noncommittally silent, and after a long time, he said in a low voice, "But my subordinates have still found nothing in the past few days. β
The snow water was rolling, Heng Yuanjun did not immediately respond to Han Chong's words, he lifted the bamboo tube on the side and began to scald the cup.
After a while, a refreshing aroma of tea diffused in the room.
The tea aroma of Luzhou pine needles is very special, it carries a certain smell of pine and cypress, there is a burst of sweetness that seems to be absent when you first smell it, and there is a bit of mellow in the bitterness of the tea, and the original slight bitterness turns into a slightly spicy fragrance after swallowing.
This change made Heng Yuanjun's face rarely float with a pleasant smile.
"You've been hurt, and when it hurts the most, you know for sure." Heng Yuanjun said with a smile, "The first knife is not the most unbearable, and it is often when it heals that it is tormenting." And if the wound doesn't heal, poke it again in the same place, and it hurts......"
"People are like this, the more they are afraid of something, the more they ponder it, little by little, they raise their fears into beasts.
"So, Lord Han. This story doesn't need us to say round. Heng Yuanjun said softly, "Throw out the clues, and the emperor will make up the rest himself." β
With that, he drank the rest of the tea in his cup.
"Then what is Ming Gong going to do next?"
The furnace fire was shining, Heng Yuanjun silently stared at the glimmer in front of him, and suddenly remembered Bai Linglai again.
"It's a pity." He sighed softly.
"Take control of the secret guard next to Bai Ling first."
Heng Yuanjun said softly, he looked at Han Chong, "How to do it, is it a head-on confrontation or a game capture...... Judge for yourself. If you need help, just let me know. β
β¦β¦
Early the next morning, the three members of the Bai family woke up as usual.
Washing, eating, routine checks of the medicine cabinet, washing dishes...... Then go out. Bai Ling and Bai Yi, as usual, walked on both sides of Bai Shijun.
Bai Yi was still thinking about yesterday's sudden marriage, and Bai Ling was more silent than usual.
Bai Shijun looked left and right, "...... You've all had things on your minds today. β
"yes." Bai Ling replied, she sighed, and said softly, "We have a little tail in our house again." β
"What?" Bai Yi was stunned for a moment.
"Fourteen told me this morning, in the second half of yesterday night, there may be at least five or six brocade guards near our house, and two of them are secret guards of the same level as Fourteen."
Bai Shijun frowned, "What's wrong with you?" β
Bai Ling didn't answer, just took Bai Shijun's arm and said, "Yesterday, I asked my father to sort out all the manuscripts that have been changed, did my father do it?" β
"It's done," Bai Shijun replied, "not only did I get the order in order, but I packed them in rolls with a rope, so that I wouldn't itch and change them again laterβthe rest were basically additions and deletions from the text, and there was no point in changing them." β
"Okay," Bai Ling nodded, "where is Daddy's manuscript?" β
"In the box under my bed, I'm locking it so it's not easy for rats to chew." Bai Shijun said, "Why did you suddenly think of urging me to organize the manuscript? β
Bai Ling laughed, "It's not because every time my father changes the text, he throws the final draft and the scrapped draft everywhere, and the mess is very annoying......"
"Now that the part has been sorted out," Bai Shijun said with a smile, "I'll personally send them to the bookstore tomorrow to see if I can print some of them first-"
"There's no hurry." Bai Ling smiled and said, "Daddy will collect the manuscript first, and when the manuscript is finished, let's send it together."
