Lin Yue grabbed Zhang Yan's arm and pushed forward, looking at her with bright eyes.

"Empress, do you know the reason why I was able to survive the cold and hunger?"

"because of you."

Lying, well, it is lying, just like a woman's "I have very little emotional experience". It sounds fake. As for whether it is effective or not, whoever uses it knows.

Zhang Yan looked at him and was about to say something when the face opposite her that she liked more and more, and missed him more and more, suddenly moved towards her. Then she was speechless because her little cherry mouth was occupied.

Hmm~

Just like the scene in a dream.

However, today is destined to be different from the past, not only because the dream has come true, but also because...

"This...this is..."

"You...how could you..."

Well……

(Just think about it.)

Half an hour later, Lin Yue straightened up, put his feet on the ground, and took a deep breath.

Hiss~

Hiss~

Hisssssss~

There were suppressed sobs from behind.

He looked back and saw that Zhang Yan was facing that way, and the quilt slid out, revealing a smear of fragrance underneath.

"Why are you crying."

Lin Yue thought to himself how wonderful you looked just now with your brows furrowed and ready to refuse, and it wasn't like you weren't satisfied, and it was like you were being bullied by your fake father-in-law.

He turned sideways, held Zhang Yan's waist, and wiped away the tears on her face with his fingers.

"Your Majesty, was I too rude just now?"

Almost ten seconds passed before she said quietly: "I never thought that you would be a fake eunuch."

Lin Yue said: "Isn't this bad?"

Yeah, isn't that bad?

Zhang Yan asked herself, and the answer she got was that it was good, because she knew that there was more to him, and the loneliness that always lived in the deep palace disappeared from his body without a trace, and was replaced by a sense of fulfillment, happiness and belonging.

but……

"Do you know why I'm crying?"

Lin Yue shook his head.

"Because I think of the late emperor..."

It turned out that she was feeling guilty, and Lin Yue scoffed at her idea.

The husband who usually flirted with women suddenly died, and the virtuous wife had to remain a widow for him for the rest of her life? Looking at it from the perspective of modern people, this is not unreasonable, it is called disrespecting women.

But who said this was ancient times? Even if Lin Yue didn't have any psychological barriers to cuckolding a foolish emperor, he still had to take care of his woman's emotions.

"You don't have to feel guilty. In return, I will help him get revenge and kill the mastermind behind the treasure ship case so that he doesn't have to live with his injustice."

Zhang Yan turned sideways, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, and there was something touchingly beautiful about her.

"The news just came from outside the palace today that Wei Zhongxian is dead."

"Ah……"

"Is it possible that he is still alive?"

"Wei Zhongxian was not the instigator of the treasure ship case at all. The person who killed Xi Zong was the current emperor Zhu Youjian."

In one simple sentence, it was ground-breaking for Zhang Yan.

"How is it possible! Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. The relationship between the emperor and his uncle has always been very good."

"Just because an older brother is kind to his younger brother, doesn't mean that a younger brother will be kind to his elder brother."

"I do not believe……"

"It doesn't matter. Your Majesty will know tonight whether what I said is true."

Lin Yue looked at her sad look, his love began to rise again, and his feet that had fallen off the floor returned to the bed.

"You...why do you still want it? What if the palace maid sees her during the shift..."

"So what if you see it? Don't forget your identity."

"But you are a fake."

"If your Majesty doesn't tell me and I don't tell you, who will know, not to mention that in front of those people, this fake I am is more real than the real thing."

"What's the meaning?"

"Want to know?"

"I……"

"Instead of 'I', say 'I'."

"Why?"

Lin Yuexin said of course it was for the sake of romance, the little eunuch was causing trouble in the palace, that was enough.

It was night, the moon was hidden, the stars were sinking, and everything was silent.

An erratic ghost-like shadow crossed the corridor, stepped over the blue tiles, and jumped up to the second floor. Only a very small sound came out during the whole process, which was almost negligible to ordinary people.

In a daze, Zhang Yan heard a very low voice penetrate into her ears.

"Don't move around, don't make any noise, I will come to pick you up in a moment."

She said to herself that it is impossible for me to make a sound. You blocked my mouth, tied my hands and feet, and wrapped my body with a quilt. What on earth do you want to do?

Half an hour ago she was sleeping in her own bed, and half an hour later she came outside. She was surrounded by cool tiles, and the cold night wind blew her hair and kept scratching her cheeks. It seemed that she was now

The roof of a building.

Did he get himself out of the palace?

Just when this thought flashed through my mind, there was a faint sound of conversation downstairs.

After hearing the voice of one of them, her expression changed, because it was none other than the emperor's uncle Zhu Youjian.

"I couldn't contact you for more than a month. I thought you had an accident."

"It was a small accident, but my life is very tough."

"Um?"

"Don't worry, the matter has been settled. Let's talk about His Majesty's affairs."

"I'm so impatient."

"Yes, you were too impatient and let Wei Zhongxian leave the capital without getting his money."

"You know, sometimes I feel a little scared when I think of you."

"If I wanted to kill Your Majesty, I could have done it when you were still King Xin. Why would I have to make suggestions for you? I would use Wei Zhongxian, the mastermind behind the treasure ship case, to help you kill the insiders and help you ride on the dragon without any danger.

chair."

"Kill the insider? What does Ding Baiying say?"

"Your Majesty is still thinking about her? Does that mean that you also want to kill me and Guo Zhen to silence us?"

"I finally know why you refuse to join the officialdom, because sooner or later I will kill you because of your attitude."

"This time I asked Your Majesty to meet at Prince Xin's Mansion not to quarrel, but to discuss business."

"speak."

"I heard that Wei Zhongxian is dead?"

"Yes, the three Jin Yiwei men brought back Wei Zhongxian's body from Fucheng today."

"Does Your Majesty really believe that is Wei Zhongxian?"

"..."

"I also heard that Lin San was found."

"Yes, according to Luo Yangxing, Lin San was imprisoned in the cellar of Tian Ji's manor outside the city. After Tian Ji was arrested, the people in the manor dispersed. Fortunately, the people from Jin Yiwei heard his cry when they ransacked the house, otherwise

He will definitely starve to death."

"After Wei Zhongxian's death, to whom does Your Majesty plan to hand over the management of the East Factory?"

"Zhao Jingzhong. During your absence, Zhao Jingzhong provided Han Kuang with a lot of information about the Eunuch Party. If he were to lead Dongchang, the efficiency of combating the Eunuch Party would be much higher."

"May I ask Your Majesty, the task given to Zhao Jingzhong earlier was to capture Wei Zhongxian alive or to kill Wei Zhongxian?"

"Of course we must capture Wei Zhongxian alive."

"Then why did he die?"

"you mean?"

"This is just my guess."

"With all the civil and military forces in the dynasty, it's ridiculous that not many people can use it."

"If His Majesty really wants to use Zhao Jingzhong, he might as well transfer Lin San to Dongchang."

"You want me to use Lin San to contain and supervise Zhao Jingzhong?"

"Check and balance each other, supervise each other, Dongchang can decide. Your Majesty can also gain a good reputation of clear rewards and punishments."

"You are indeed my good general."

"..."

Zhang Yan seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, not because the November wind was too cold, but because Zhu Youjian's words made her unable to accept them.

Sure enough, as Lin San said, the person who killed Zhu Youxiao was Zhu Youjian, and a few days ago she kindly told her husband's murderer to be careful of Hakka's poisoning and to prepare his own food. Later, she was even willing to do it in his hands.

He used his knife to deal with Wei Zhongxian and was grateful for the result.

did not expect……

"It's not a good place to stay for a long time. Let's go."

At the same time as the sound came, she was knocked unconscious by a slap from behind.

…

She didn't know how much time had passed before a familiar voice woke her up. She opened her eyes and saw that she was surrounded by a gauze tent embroidered with colorful phoenixes and a quilt filled with flowers. The palace lantern by the window illuminated the side face of her beloved man.

It turned out that I had returned to Kunning Palace.

"You already knew that he was the murderer of the late emperor?"

Lin Yue nodded.

"Why didn't you tell me until today?"

"Was it useful to tell the empress before? Hidden scissors behind her back and stabbed him to death? What to do with the empress' family? What to do with the country of Ming Dynasty? As for why she said it today... The empress now has a minister in her heart, and she will act stupidly on impulse.

Something?"

Zhang Yan stopped talking, because Lin San was right. If you think about it seriously, her hatred for Zhu Youjian now comes more from the resentment of being deceived, rather than the hatred of her husband being killed.

At this moment, she was immersed in a honey jar and wanted to risk her life for Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian, but she couldn't do it.

Lin Yue took her into his arms: "So from now on, the empress does not have to feel guilty towards the late emperor. I will help the late emperor to avenge his hatred to comfort his spirit in heaven."

Zhang Yan raised her head and looked at his side face, and suddenly remembered the person who had just talked to Zhu Youjian.

"What is the relationship between that person just now and you?"
