Li Huaiyu relied on his memory to take the trail and detour to Mingshan Palace.

The moonlight was lonely, adding a layer of gloom to this already deserted place, and she stepped on the withered grass on the ground and gently pushed open the door of the side hall of the palace.

The emperors of all dynasties would have a secret room to store important objects and documents, and Mingshan Palace was the secret room of Emperor Xiao.

When her father was dying, he told her that when Huailin was fifteen years old and could take charge on his own, she could come here to find what he had left behind.

On the twentieth day of February of the eighth year of Daxing, Li Huailin turned fifteen years old, and she also came here as promised, and opened the mechanism with great anticipation, thinking that her father must have left them some treasure.

However, unfortunately, there is no treasure in Mingshan Palace, there is only a secret that she can't afford.

At that time, Li Huaiyu couldn't accept it, and returned to Feiyun Palace in a trance after reading it, forgetting to take away or destroy the thing. Later, Sima Xu was imprisoned one day, and she never had the opportunity to come here again.

Now that she has changed her face and is standing in front of the bookshelf in this side hall again, Huaiyu thinks that when this thing is done, she can be Bai Zhuji completely at ease.

"Click!" The mechanism on the bookshelf was twisted with a soft thud, and the entire wall was disconnected from the middle and retreated to the sides.

Thinking of Jiang Xuanjin who was still waiting on the side of the rockery, Huaiyu hooked his lips and laughed as he walked inside, already thinking about how to tease this drunk man later.

However, when he looked up and looked into the secret room, Huaiyu's smile was all fixed on his face.

There was a candle burning in the secret room, and Liu Yunlie, dressed in a rattan green brocade robe, stood in front of the bookcase ten steps away from her, holding a folded document in his hand, and looked at her with a pair of eyes in shock, as if he was greatly frightened.

As soon as his heart sank, a chill crept up from his ankles, freezing Li Huaiyu's whole body to the ground, almost unable to stand steadily.

"Why are you here?!"

Subconsciously shouted out this sentence, Huaiyu felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly turned around and wanted to run.

"Stop!" Liu Yunlie stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, and reacted very quickly to press the mechanism next to her, and closed the door of the secret room again.

The last gust of wind blew the candles on the table flickering and extinguishing.

"Who the hell are you?!" He scolded, his hand was extremely powerful, and his voice trembled a little, obviously he was also shocked.

Huaiyu stiffened, looked at the person in front of him without blinking, and said after a while: "Lord Liu doesn't even know me anymore?" ”

How could he not recognize it, every time he saw her, he would feel uncomfortable, he thought it was the sequelae left by the last fight, but now it is not at all.

"Bai Zhuji......" Liu Yunlie muttered her name, trying to suppress her struggle.

He checked Bai Zhuji, before this person regained his senses, he didn't have any friendship with people outside the mansion, and it was already very strange to suddenly know Lu Jingxing, and now he still appeared here.

Except for him and His Majesty, only the eldest princess knows about it.

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

She had fought with him, and she knew very well in her heart that if she really let him let go of his hands and feet, Bai Zhuji's body would definitely not be an opponent.

Dispelling the killing intent in his heart, Li Huaiyu's eyes rolled and gave up struggling: "Lord Liu, what are you doing here?" ”

"Do you still want garlic?" Liu Yunlie came back to his senses, pressed his elbow against her throat and pressed her against the wall, his eyes were cruel, "Bai Jiasi xiǎo jiě, who was stupid for three years and suddenly recovered, not only can he speak well, but he also suddenly knows martial arts." Lu Jingxing gave you a dowry, Xu Xian, Han Xiao, and Yun Lanqing sat at your mother's seat, and now you are here again. ”

"Your Highness, Weichen is far away."

Li Huaiyu was shocked, opened his eyes and said, "What are you talking about?" I don't understand. ”

The strength in his hand gradually increased, and Liu Yunlie sneered: "I don't understand, you came here by yourself today, since you like Mingshan Palace so much, then it is better to sleep here." ”

His neck was so out of breath that Huaiyu frowned painfully: "Wait...... Wait a minute! You want me to die, so let me die! ”

After a pause, Liu Yunlie looked at her twice and let go of his hand slightly.

"I really don't know what Your Highness is." Having the opportunity, Huaiyu hurriedly said, "I just walked over at random......

"And opened the mechanism here?" Interrupting her lie rudely, Liu Yunlie's hand tightened again, "If you just want to say this, then Weichen will send it to His Highness." ”

That doesn't work.

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

Li Huaiyu panicked, and while his throat could barely make a sound, he shouted with difficulty: "Liu ...... Liu Zhi! ”

Hearing his name, Liu Yunlie sneered: "Your Highness is finally willing to admit it? ”

Don't admit it when you're dying? She's not stupid! Huaiyu nodded again and again, motioning for him to let go of her first.

His hand loosened by half an inch, and Liu Yunlie said sharply with a sharp look: "So Ziyang Jun's strange behavior for so long is that you are secretly bewitching!" ”

Taking two breaths in a hurry, Li Huaiyu raised his eyes to look at him: "Who is Ziyangjun, can I bewitch him?" He's just doing what he thinks is right. ”

"Huh." Liu Yunlie shook his head, "Your Highness is modest, without your painstaking matchmaking, how could he find out about Qi Han so quickly." ”

At present, the progress of Jiang Xuanjin's reversal of the case is stuck with Qi Han, and Li Huaiyu almost thinks that Qi Han is the murderer behind the scenes. But now when she heard Liu Yunlie's words, she understood.

He is the one who hides the deepest.

Tense, Huaiyu lowered his eyes, and whispered weakly: "Anyway, I've fallen into your hands, why don't you sit down and talk?" ”

"Don't dare." The hand was still on her throat, and Liu Yunlie's eyes were deep, "The princess's methods have been taught a lot, so if you want to talk, let's just talk about it." ”

Don't give you the slightest chance? Huaiyu's heart sank violently.

Liu Yunlie seemed to have suspected her for a long time, so now that he learned the truth, it was more like recalling what he knew than shocking, and confirming her identity one by one.

After a moment, the panic in the gaze that fell on her face was gone, and the person was much calmer.

Seeing that he didn't seem to have anything to ask, Li Huaiyu asked him, "Why do you know about this place?" ”

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

The person in front of him seemed to be smiling: "Your Highness already has dá àn in your heart, why do you bother to ask Weichen?" ”

Apart from her, the only people who know about this place are ......

Huailin.

Frowning deeply, Li Huaiyu shook his head: "It can't be what he told you." ”

Not to mention that Huailin was only seven years old when his father died, and he may not remember this at all. Even if he remembered, there was no reason to tell Liu Yunlie.

This man was making a fuss about her.

"Since Your Highness doesn't believe it, then Weichen can't do anything." Liu Yunlie half-closed his eyes, "The minister also has questions to ask His Highness." ”

"You ask." can buy more time to live, Li Huaiyu's attitude is very sincere: "I will answer whatever you ask!" ”

"How did you survive?" This is what Liu Yunlie wants to know the most.

People can't be resurrected after death, this is the words handed down by the ancestors, but why is the person in front of him clearly dead, but he can stand here and talk to him again through someone else's body?

His eyelids drooped, and Huaiyu said: "This kind of thing, you won't believe it if I say it." ”

"Say."

The usual lies could not pass Liu Yunlie's ears, Huaiyu thought about it seriously, and suddenly had an idea.

"I got a treasure when I was alive, which can keep people's souls and bring people back from the dead." Lowering her voice, she said, "It's all thanks to that treasure that I have a chance to come back." ”

Treasure? Liu Yunlie looked at her coldly: "You want to fool me? ”

"No, no, no!" Li Huaiyu stomped his feet, "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 offered by the Hundred Flowers King, there is a jade pendant with a strange shape! I didn't know what it was used for at the time, but when I died, my soul was sucked into it, and then Bai Si xiǎo jiě drowned, and I was on 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 had to believe it even if he didn't believe it, and a strange light immediately crossed his eyes.

"Where is the jade pendant now?"

People are afraid of death, the heavier the desire for power, the more afraid they are, for the superiors, longevity and resurrection are hard-to-find treasures.

Huaiyu saw the vitality, and finally smiled: "My lord, my life is now in your hands, you really killed me, I still have to rely on that treasure to live again, how can I tell you its whereabouts?" ”

Lived once, can you live again? If you get that thing, won't you never die?

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

"Actually, I lived this time, just to wash away my grievances." Huaiyu let out a long sigh, "Who do you think I hurt?" Of those who were imprisoned and convicted, which one did not suffer retribution? You don't have to kill me, when the case is overturned, I will stay by Jiang Xuanjin's side honestly, and I won't hinder you in the slightest. ”

"You still want to go back to him?" Liu Yunlie sneered, "Let him know your identity, do you think you can still live?" ”

In the past, his biggest enemy became his wife by borrowing the corpse to resurrect his soul, calculating, using, and loving him, all in order to overturn the case for himself.

If Jiang Xuanjin knew this......

With a slight movement in his eyes, he suddenly let go of her.

"Ahem, ahem!" The pressure on his neck was gone, and Huaiyu bent down and coughed.

"Make a deal." Liu Yunlie said, "I'll let you go, you give me the treasure." ”

Secretly hooked his lips, Huaiyu said: "What does the adult say?" ”

"The mechanism is right next to you, you can open the door and get out now." Liu Yunlie said, "However, if I can't find the jade pendant, I will definitely expose your identity and let you be given poisoned wine again." ”

How can it be? Once she gets out, the old case is turned over and the charges are gone. Huailin knew her identity, and it was too late to be happy, how could he give poisoned wine?

Secretly hooking his lips, Li Huaiyu stood up straight and said, "I'll leave here first, and when it's safe, I'll let someone send the jade pendant to the adult." ”

Liu Yunlie stood with his hands in his hands, watched her touch the mechanism on the wall, and said meaningfully: "Life is not easy to come by, Your Highness can cherish it, don't play any more moths." ”

"Don't worry, sir." The walls cracked, and the clear wind blew in from outside, Huaiyu took a deep breath and walked out calmly with her skirt.

Mingshan Palace was still very quiet, but the banquet in the Xile Palace in the distance seemed to be dispersed, and there was no longer the lively sound before.

His hands were a little trembling, and his steps were a little vain, Li Huaiyu didn't dare to look back at all, he walked faster and faster, and ran wild as soon as he left Mingshan Palace.

It was like a nightmare. No, she never dreamed that she would see Liu Yunlie in the secret room! Now what? Liu Yunlie knew her identity, and he could tell Jiang Xuanjin at any time, and everything would be over.

He let her go today just because he wanted a treasure, and what about after the treasure was given to him? Her secret is in his hands, and he is the one who has always wanted her to die, and it is self-evident how it ends.

You can't let Liu Yunlie live.

Realizing this, her mind raced.

Returning to Mingshan Palace along the palace road, Huaiyu restrained her look 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 ended, and there was no one on the rockery.

A little panicked, she grabbed the passer-by and asked, "Have you seen Ziyangjun?" ”

Coincidentally, this person turned around, and it was Yun Lanqing, and he looked at her in surprise: "Mrs. Jun? The gentleman has been waiting for you for a long time, and he has been refusing to leave here, but he was so drunk that a few Jiang adults took him back to the house. ”

Seeing him, Huaiyu's eyes were extremely complicated, he clenched his fists and opened his mouth to say something, but swallowed it back.

Looking at her expression, Yun Lanqing's eyes deepened slightly: "I have always had a question for Madame." ”

"How did Madame know that there was something wrong with the embankment of the Luohua River?"

His heart was so confused that Huaiyu didn't even have the strength to go around the bend with him, and said with a white 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 right now." Huaiyu lowered his eyes, and his voice trembled a little, "Lan Qing, you help me tell Lu Jingxing, let them all be ready, I have someone to kill." ”

I have someone to kill.

Such a rampant and arrogant tone instantly made Yun Lanqing return to Feiyun Palace half a year ago, and suddenly saw the person in palace clothes who didn't sit at all, and crossed his legs and said to them:

"Adults are here, catch a moth, and find a way to kill him."

……

"Your Highness?" Yun Lanqing tentatively shouted at the person in front of him, his eyes were shocked and suspicious.

Huaiyu nodded, and squatted on the ground with weak legs: "You take care of me...... Do as I say. ”

Han Xiao in the back was looking for someone everywhere, and when he came over and saw his back, he shouted with a big grin: "Lan Qing, I've been looking for you for a long time......

As soon as the words fell, he saw Bai Zhuji hidden by his back.

"Hey, why is Mrs. Jun here?" Han Xiao was surprised, "The people of the Jiang family are looking for you everywhere." ”

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

Suffocating her breath, she looked away and froze in place, not daring to move at all.

"What's wrong?" Han Xiao didn't know anything, looked at her curiously and said, "Mrs. Jun is also drunk?" The face is so ugly. ”

Liu Yunlie walked over step by step, with a smile on his face, stood still not far from them, and arched his hand: "How many adults are leaving?" ”

Yun Lanqing sensed Li Huaiyu's uneasiness, took two steps forward to protect her behind, and returned the salute: "The palace banquet is over." ”

"Then everyone go slowly." Liu Yunlie raised his eyes, looked at the person behind Yun Lanqing, and chuckled, "Mrs. Jun also walks slowly." ”

After saying that, he continued to go to the Palace of Joy.

Han Xiao frowned and looked at his back, muttering, "Why is this person so weird today?" ”

Yun Lanqing turned her head, looked at Huaiyu and asked, "Is something wrong?" ”

Huaiyu shook his head and said softly, "You two, can you give me a ride?" ”

"Okay." Yun Lanqing agreed without thinking about it.

Han Xiao was stunned: "This ...... Lan Qing, are you alright? ”

Hasn't he always been nosy?

Pulling him over, Yun Lanqing said: "I'll explain to you when I'm free, and I will ...... the hall first." Send Mrs. Jun back to Jiangfu first. ”

Looking at his solemn expression, Han Xiao also knew that there was a reason for the incident, so he hurriedly followed behind Mrs. Jun with him and didn't ask any more questions.

Back in Moju, Huaiyu went to find Qingsi first, and said in a low voice: "There is something I need your help with." ”

Looking at her pale face, Qingsi was startled, looked her up and down, and was relieved to see that there was no injury, and nodded to her.

went to the makeup box and found a piece of jade pendant at random, Huaiyu said: "I was discovered by Liu Yunlie, I have to kill him now, you take this to Lu Jingxing, and he will help you arrange manpower." ”

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Qingsi's eyes turned cold, and after hearing the task at the end, she got up and took the jade pendant into her arms.

"Be careful." Huaiyu advised.

"You'd better go and see your lord first." Qingsi curtsied, leaving such a sentence when she left.

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

The main building was quiet, Chengxu and Yufeng stood outside the door and didn't dare to go in, as soon as they saw her coming, the two immediately pushed the door open and signaled her to go in.

Expecting that the man would not be able to cope with the drunkenness, Huaiyu was ready to coax him to sleep.

However, when he entered the door and raised his eyes, the man sitting in the room had clear eyes, and he had already sobered up.

"Where have you been?" He asked coldly.

With a jump in his heart, Li Huaiyu hurriedly greeted him, sat in front of him and said, "I was lost, I wanted to pour you tea, but I lost my way while walking, or Lord Yun and Lord Han bumped into me and sent me back." ”

Dark eyes stared at her motionlessly, Jiang Xuanjin said, "You lied to me again." ”

Feeling tight, Huaiyu thought he had found something, and the blood on his lips suddenly disappeared cleanly.

However, the man then said: "I waited for you at the rockery for half an hour, and if you get lost, you can forget it?" ”

After being stunned for a moment, Huaiyu smiled: "You said this? ”

"What else are you lying to me?" Jiang Xuanjin raised his eyebrows.

"No, no!" Huaiyu hurriedly took his hand and said softly, "How could I lie to you?" I didn't mean to get lost, don't be angry, okay? ”

Jiang Xuanjin was very unhappy, her face was gloomy and gloomy, and she just looked at her like this.

Just experienced a heart-pounding escape from death, and now seeing him again, Huaiyu felt a little sour, and threw his body forward to hug his waist, and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't be angry......"

It sounds like I'm going to cry.

Jiang Xuanjin was startled, felt that her body was trembling slightly, and the anger in her heart suddenly disappeared, and she reached out to pat her back and said, "The bully, but he cried first?" ”

"I didn't bully you." Huaiyu choked.

"......" held her shoulders and lifted her head, Jiang Xuanjin frowned and looked at her red eyes, "What's wrong?" ”

Huaiyu shook his head, hooked his hand around his neck, and the whole person was stuck to his arms, hugging him tightly.

"Shall we go out of Beijing for a while?" She asked in a whisper.

Jiang Xuanjin thought for a while and said, "Qi Han will return to Beijing tomorrow, and I will take him to confront His Majesty." When Sima Xu's old case is settled, I will ask Hugh to take you out for a walk. ”

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

She had a very bad premonition in her heart, if she could take Jiang Xuanjin out of Kyoto......

"Nope." He said, "I am the chief judge of this case, and I can't leave until the case is closed." ”

Tears welled up, and Huaiyu looked at him in a daze.

"Don't be willful." Jiang Xuanjin reached out and wiped her tears, "I have something I have to do." ”

What he has to do is naturally much more important than her little temper, Li Huaiyu nodded obediently, but the tears fell more and more.

"Alright." He hugged her, changed her bedclothes, removed her hair from a bun, and let her sit on the bed.

Huaiyu grabbed the quilt under him and looked at him, opening his mouth to ask something to reassure himself, but he was afraid of arousing his suspicion, so he could only lower his eyes and be silent.

After the lights went out, as soon as Jiang Xuanjin lay down on the bed, the person next to him pressed up.

"Jiang Jue." She whispered, "I really like you. ”

Slightly stunned, he didn't start a little uncomfortably: "Why do you suddenly say this?" ”

"I'm afraid you don't know, so I'm sure to tell you." The apricot eyes in the darkness were sparkling, Huaiyu lowered his head against his forehead, and said seriously word by word, "I want to give you a child." ”

The hand on her waist tightened suddenly, and as soon as the person under her moved, he turned over and pressed her against the pillow.

Reaching out to rub the outline of his face, Huaiyu grinned: "You are so beautiful, I want to peel the sweetest oranges in the world for you to eat." ”

I used to say this to tease him, and I just wanted to see him blushing with anger. But now, she said this sincerely, if this catastrophe can be escaped, she will definitely not lie to him again, she will definitely ...... Peel him big, sweet oranges.

Jiang Xuanjin only thought that she was a flamboyant tongue, and with a light snort, he lowered his head and bit her mouth, licked the tip of his tongue lightly, and said angrily: "The sweetest orange has obviously been eaten by you." ”

Why else would she be so sweet?

Huaiyu smiled, hooked his waist and wrapped it around.

In the middle of August, it rained in the middle of the night, and the rain was blown into the main building by the wind, wetting the clothes hanging on the screens.

The exposed skin felt the crisp breath of the autumn rain, and Huaiyu pulled the quilt and shivered gently.
