After the rebirth, the empress took the tragic script of Meiqiang

Chapter 19 Return to the Palace

"Go to Donglinmen and don't let anyone know." Ye Qinghuai said.

Lu Yanchen turned to the man driving the car and said, "Take Yongfufang, turn to Zhengde Street, and stop in front of Donglin Gate."

The man seemed a little surprised at Lu Yanchen's obedience to Ye Qinghuai, but he didn't ask any questions. He clasped his fists in response and quickly untied the horse's rope.

Ye Qinghuai got into the car with Lu Yanchen's help. Lu Yanchen followed closely behind her and got into the car, lowering the curtain.

As soon as the car curtain was lowered, Ye Qinghuai suddenly smelled a familiar smell, which was exactly the same as the one she smelled when she lay on Lu Yanchen's back.

It was just that the smell was weak at that time, and she didn't expect what it was. The smell in the car was much stronger, and she immediately realized it.

It smells like blood.

Just like the smell of her menstruation, the fishy smell had a rusty smell.

An alarm went off in Ye Qinghuai's mind. The situation was so critical that she had been ignoring a very important issue.

She went to the ghost market to buy Chunwei exam questions. What did Lu Yanchen go to the ghost market for?

"This car was rented in Dongma City. I don't know what kind of pickled things were packed in it before." Lu Yanchen seemed to be aware of the smell of blood in the car. He was talking to himself while holding Ye Qing in his arms.

The window was propped up.

Lu Yanchen indeed had no carriage and horses. Ye Qinghuai felt that what he said was reasonable, so he stopped thinking about it and asked another matter: "How come you have the gold medal given by the late emperor in your hands?"

"When the late emperor was lying on his bed, he commissioned me to do something. The late emperor was afraid that the minister would be obstructed, so he gave him this gold medal and ordered him to return it when he came back."

Ye Qinghuai asked: "Then the gentleman has not returned it yet, is it because the matter has not been completed yet?"

"Yes." Lu Yanchen's voice was a little deep.

"Sir, can you tell me what the Imperial Examination wants you to do?" Ye Qinghuai still asked.

Lu Yanchen was silent for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to speak directly at the moment."

"Right now? Then we can speak frankly tomorrow."

Lu Yanchen fell silent again.

Ye Qinghuai sighed.

The space in the carriage was very narrow. Ye Qinghuai and Lu Yanchen sat across from each other. They were both tall and had long legs. As the carriage swayed slightly, their knees bumped into each other.

The car fell into silence again.

Ye Qinghuai was still thinking about that gold medal. What an honor it was to be given a gold medal by the king. Since the beginning of the Great King Dynasty, few people had received such a gift. But in Ye Qinghuai's memory, his father's love for Lu Yan

Chen Chen could only be said to be very appreciative, but not very dependent on her. Why would she give him this gold medal without telling her?

Thinking of Lu Yanchen's rebellion in his previous life, Ye Qinghuai suddenly had a terrible idea in his mind.

"Sir, the emperor gave you this gold medal, isn't it to let you kill the faint king at the top and the sycophant at the bottom?" Ye Qinghuai looked at Lu Yanchen and asked with a frown.

Lu Yanchen was obviously surprised. He never expected that Ye Qinghuai would suddenly ask such a question. After being surprised, he suddenly smiled, shook his head and said: "No. If the late emperor really had such an idea, he should have given it to him."

I have a precious sword, not a gold medal."

Lu Yanchen rarely smiled, but I have to say that his smile was really good-looking, clean and gentle, and he felt like the spring breeze was blowing on his face.

When he smiled, Ye Qinghuai also realized the nonsense of his speculation, and also laughed: "That's right."

Now that the words have come to this, Ye Qinghuai decided to ask the question that has been lingering in her mind for a long time: "Sir, I want to ask you a question."

"Excuse me, Your Majesty."

"If I am really a foolish king, would you, sir, kill him?" Ye Qinghuai looked directly into Lu Yanchen's clear eyes without hiding.

Lu Yanchen was stunned by her question. The smile on his face disappeared and he said solemnly, "Why did your Majesty say this?"

Ye Qinghuai could hear the sullenness hidden in his voice, the kind of sullenness that made others doubt his sincerity.

She quickly waved her hands and said, "That's not what I meant. I know your loyalty very well. It's just..." Ye Qinghuai sighed again. She thought about her words and said, "I had a dream recently, and it was very real.

Dream. In the dream, my husband denounced me as a foolish king, and then led his troops into the Palace of Supreme Harmony, forcing me to abdicate."

Ye Qinghuai finished his statement with some difficulty and looked up at Lu Yanchen, only to see that his eyes were full of obedient shock.

"Your Majesty, that was just a dream." Lu Yanchen was taciturn by nature. He said this to comfort Ye Qinghuai.

"I know it was a dream. But the dream was so real that after I woke up, I often wondered how comatose I had to be for my husband to do such a thing."

Ye Qinghuai lowered his head after speaking, looking a little aggrieved.

Lu Yanchen was silent and said: "If your Majesty is really too comatose to look back, I, as the emperor's master, am the number one sinner. I cannot escape the blame. I should kill myself to thank the world. How can I talk about forcing him into the palace?"

What about regicide?”

Lu Yanchen raised his eyes and looked at Ye Qinghuai, his always calm black eyes seemed to have the wind in them.

He looked at Ye Qinghuai like this for a while, then suddenly laughed a little self-deprecatingly and said, "To be honest, I have had such an idea before."

"Take your neck to kill yourself?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

Lu Yanchen nodded and said, "That day in Wenxuan Palace, Wei Chen saw the paper portrait. At that time, he did have such thoughts."

Ye Qinghuai recalled the situation that day and couldn't help but smile.

In the past, when she had a crush on Lu Yanchen, she was always cautious and shy in front of her. Now that the matter was exposed because of the paper portrait, Ye Qinghuai felt relieved.

Anyway, it can't be worse. With this kind of mentality, getting along with him becomes more natural.

Now when she looked at Lu Yanchen again, she felt that she was in another life. Those feelings of secret joy and anger that turned into anger died together with herself in the previous life. In this life, only a few sighs and sighs were left.

"You see, I am so stupid that I have to force my husband to commit suicide to prove his innocence." Ye Qinghuai shook his head and said in regret.

"I didn't mean that..."

Lu Yanchen was about to explain, but was interrupted by Ye Qinghuai: "I'm joking. I know that sir is blaming himself, but there is no need to be like this. I am young and have an erratic mind. I like this one today, and I will do it again tomorrow.

If you like that one, sir, don’t worry about it. Your teacher has taught me very well during this period. I now feel that Long Yang is indeed not on the right path and is against ethics. Now I feel that I like women, really!”

Ye Qinghuai said it with full confidence, but her sudden change stunned Lu Yanchen. He frowned and looked at her without saying anything.

Ye Qinghuai smiled at him and looked up out of the window. She saw that the car had reached Zhengde North Street and would soon be arriving at Donglinmen. She looked at the spacious and elegant bronze doors of the big houses on the street and straightened her expression.

He said slowly: "Sir, in this Shengjing city, there are not only sensual dogs and horses, but also hungry people dying on the roadside. Sir, do you know?"

Lu Yanchen didn't say anything, and Ye Qinghuai took it as his acquiescence. She added: "It's like this at the foot of the imperial city, and it can be seen all over the world." Ye Qinghuai shook his head and sighed, "I really can't even think about it.

.”

The way she sighed was because she was really worried.

"What's even more frightening is that I have been practicing Zuo for two years, and no one in the civil or military circles has told me." Ye Qinghuai looked at the rows of pavilions outside the car window and said, "Corruption has become common in both the government and the public, and the country has become so weak that I actually

They also gave the country the title of 'Suihe'. It's really ridiculous, where does Suihe and Suihe come from?"

She looked at Lu Yanchen again and said: "The courtiers are fooling me because of the black gauze hat on their heads. But sir, as the emperor's master, why don't you tell me the truth? Sir, don't you believe that I can

Can he become a wise king? In my mind, can a blindfolded emperor also become a wise king?"

Lu Yanchen felt guilty when she said this. If the car hadn't been so cramped, he might have knelt down right now. He lowered his head and said, "This is my fault. I thought your majesty was young.

Although he is in charge of the government, he is not close to the government, so it is not yet time for him to take on important responsibilities."

"I don't blame you, and you don't have to blame yourself. I just blame myself. You don't tell me because you don't believe me. You think I can't do it, so it's useless to tell me." Ye Qinghuai said straightforwardly,

Her tone was very calm, and there was no resentment in her heart, "Your idea is correct, I really can't do it. I can't even protect Li Wenqing, let alone others?"

"But I won't always be like this." Ye Qinghuai turned her head and looked out the window. The cold wind outside the car window blew the hair that had fallen down on her forehead when she ran away. She looked determined and said, "As long as I am still alive,

I will never admit defeat."

Donglinmen could be seen in the distance outside the car window. Ye Qinghuai turned back to look at Lu Yanchen and said: "Sir, I am not a child anymore. If you still treat me as a child and teach me, you will only harm me."

"

The carriage stopped at this time. Ye Qinghuai lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.
