037 The sudden death of the concubine

After thinking about it, I couldn't see clearly where Emperor Showa put the "Avatamsaka Sutra".

Lin Ruge was still leaning over the ground, Emperor Showa walked straight past Lin Ruge, the bright yellow embroidered nine-patterned dragon's hem rubbed against Lin Ruge's hair bun, and seemed to pause for a moment. Time solidified, but the yelling of the Wei Imperial behind him made everything in this world come alive, "Go on—"

Finally, it is safe for the time being.

Lin Ruge moved his numb wrists and suddenly felt that his clothes were wet.

He has never been so close to death. At that moment, Emperor Showa had obviously had murderous aura, and she could feel it. But he did not kill her in the end. He could only say that he was once again exposed to the blessing of Mrs. Butterfly.

The queen also left the Yuzhang Palace with Emperor Showa, and only Concubine Yi was still sitting there quietly.

Lin Ruge looked up and happened to meet Concubine Yi's thoughtful eyes.

"You said, will the real will be hidden in this fake will?"

There was an unwritten rule in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, that all the wills must be divided into two and handed over to the two most trusted people of the emperor's care. There was half of the wills in the "Avatamsaka Sutra" presented by Mrs. Butterfly, which Lin Ruge should have expected. Where is the remaining half of the seal? In the hand of the queen, in the hand of Concubine Yi, or in the hand of Wei Chi?

The question of Concubine Yi really exceeded the scope of what she should ask. Lin Ruge was a little confused and didn't say anything.

However, after a rustling sound, Concubine Yi squatted in front of Lin Ruge regardless of her identity. Her expression was a little excited, and her voice was a little hoarse, as if she was trying her best to suppress the thoughts that were gushing in her heart.

"When true or false, it is true or false. This day is still here..."

Lin Ruge pretended to be deaf and dumb again, and he should have heard something wrong at this moment. Concubine Yi only has Rong Shu, and logically speaking, she should be alone and not get involved in any struggle among the princes. So what she said is true and false when it is true and false, what does it mean?

Although it was deliberately hidden, Lin Ruge's eyes still showed the meaning of curiosity and exploration.

Concubine Yi pulled Lin Ruge to stand up, smiling far away and strangely, "It's okay to say it's up to you, do you still remember the major case of rebellion a few years ago?"

It was a few years ago, when the major rebellion deep in the imperial city shocked the court and the public. King Rong Jin of Chu and King Rong Xing of Jin, the saints were not weak but were greedy. On Yueye, he led his troops to break into the Zhongcui Palace, forcing Emperor Zhaohe to hand over the tiger talisman, and used ancient rituals to abdicate. Fortunately, Rong Xuan led the Imperial Guard to arrive in time, so that the Zhongcui Palace could avoid a bloody disaster.

Rong Jin and Rong Xing were naturally deprived of their titles, demoted to civilians, and exiled to border towns, and their families and children were not allowed to enter the capital.

Such a major case of treason that shocked the world was gently brought by the history books with only the words "The Change of Jin and Chu". And the innocent guards who died in this royal game are just cold numbers in the history books.

Although she vaguely felt something was wrong, Lin Ruge's extremely lazy temperament did not allow her to spend too much energy on it. But now when she heard Concubine Yi mention it, Lin Ruge was shocked: If it were Rong Jin and Rong Xing's rebellion, why could the prince, who had been a long way from the Zhongcui Palace, arrive in time? Emperor Showa has always been very suspicious, and I am afraid that the prince's favor has remained unchanged over the years, and it is just a sign that one day he will fall heavily.

Thinking of the fate of Rong Jin and Rong Xing, Lin Ruge shuddered.

If you take it first, you must give it first. It seems that Emperor Zhaohe’s move is really useful.

Seeing that Lin Ruge had basically figured out these things, Concubine Yi pulled Lin Ruge to the side, looking very intimate. She shut up the palace maids on both sides and whispered to the ears.

"Why didn't the prince participate in the palace change? It's just that Rong Jin once stole the "Avatamsaka Sutra", but he was not taken out of the palace because it was a fake will. I think the emperor is so smart..."

Concubine Yi didn't say anything more, but Lin Ruge had already guessed the rough idea.

Rong Jin did not take it away because the will in the "Avatamsaka Sutra" was fake. However, the prince happened to take this opportunity to act in a play of saving his father, with the intention of winning the trust of Emperor Showa. Emperor Showa followed the flow and simply kept his favor to the prince. I still heard that Rong Jin and Rong Xing were dealt with by Rong Xuan himself... I thought that the prince valued friendship, so how could he bear to betray his brothers next time? I guess he was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he was eager to kill someone to silence him.

So... the will is still in the "Avatamsaka Sutra"? Emperor Showa did this to make all the princes who were ready to turn their attention to the prince?

So why did Su Yan run away? What exactly did Su Yan take away?

However, the next moment, Concubine Yi pinched Lin Ruge's neck, smiled and murmured, but condensed all the strength of her body into her fingertips.

Although Lin Ruge was surprised, he turned his head and looked at Concubine Yi, his eyes widened and his face turned red.

"Why... want to kill me?"

"Why?" Concubine Yi leaned over and sniffed like an orchid. However, under this extremely beautiful and gentle appearance, there was a confused and vicious heart. "The secrets and dignity of the royal family must be defended with blood. Since the Emperor took away the "Avatamsaka Sutra", you will not be destined to be your life tomorrow!"

The fingertips exerted force, and the golden armor shook slightly.

"Yeah?"

Lin Ruge smiled softly, but his words became more and more fluent, "It turns out that the emperor wants to kill me. No wonder Concubine Yi is sitting firmly in the palace and is not chaotic. It turns out that he is the emperor's virtuous support!"

Before Concubine Yi could be shocked, Lin Ruge pressed her hand back and pressed her hand on the table. The palace lantern was shocked by the movement and was about to be extinguished.

"Empress Yi, I'm afraid I'll let you down."

...

Concubine Yi did not return to Hanchang Palace on time that day, but Emperor Showa did not arouse suspicion. It was not until Aunt Wu of Yuzhang Palace went to report that Concubine He had disappeared. Concubine Yi was in a coma all night in Yuzhang Palace, which attracted the attention of Emperor Showa.

"Why can't you look down on someone?" Emperor Showa frowned and looked at Concubine Yi who was sleeping behind the gauze curtain.

Kobayashi knelt down tremblingly, "When I go back to the emperor, I saw a figure flying over. I don't know if the figure kidnapped the concubine."

"What about Concubine Yi?" Emperor Showa's anger was not gone.

"It's also a good thing that the figure did!" Kobayashi seemed to grit her teeth in hatred, "Emperor, although the servant has not seen the man's face clearly, he still remembers his figure. Should he search the whole city?"

"Forget it." Emperor Showa stood up, opened the curtain and looked at Concubine Yi's sleeping face, and whispered, "It's a scandal in the end."

"Then and the concubine..."

"Let her go. I declare to the public that I will die suddenly." Emperor Showa walked away with his sleeves. But he didn't see that behind him, Kobayashi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
