Catch a thief to warm the bed

After dinner, Lin Pei cleared the table, Bai Chucheng and Chen Qian continued to discuss things, he lay on the table idly, and fell asleep at some point.

When Lin Pei woke up, he saw that the sky had darkened and he seemed to be sleeping on the bed.

"When did I come back?" Rubbing his drowsy head, Lin Pei looked around, as if looking for something.

"Not here?" Yawning, Lin Pei walked to the study room connected to the bedroom.

A candle was lit in the study room, and the flickering candlelight reflected Bai Chucheng's tired face. Lin Pei's heart ached again, full of a sense of powerlessness—the distress for Bai Chucheng, and the powerlessness that he could not help Bai Chucheng.

Bai Chucheng didn't notice that Lin Pei was awake, his desk was full of secret letters from courtiers, and the people who wrote these letters to him were all on the Queen's side.The emperor's actions have angered most people, and now they are all watching Baichucheng's actions - although Baichucheng is just an idle prince with no real power, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Baichucheng is not so easy to submit.

Lin Pei turned around and went to the kitchen, Bai Chucheng looked up when Lin Pei turned around, only a black shadow passed by in front of his eyes, Bai Chucheng laughed at himself: "Have you hallucinated?"

When Lin Pei came back with supper, Bai Chucheng smelled the aroma of the food, and his stomach rumbled unconsciously.

"Hey..." Patting his stomach in embarrassment, Bai Chucheng said viciously, "Stop barking, you'll wake up Peipei later!"

Lin Pei walked outside the study room, and the night was so quiet that even the slightest sound could not escape Lin Pei's ears, so the "cuckoo" sound from Bai Chucheng's stomach naturally also entered Lin Pei's ears.

"Pfft." Hearing Bai Chucheng's childish words, Lin Pei laughed "Pfft".

Sensing movement outside the door, Bai Chucheng's tiredness was swept away, he gripped the flute tightly, rushed to the door in two steps, opened the door and shouted: "Who!" At the same time, he struck the flute on Lin Pei's neck.

"I'll bring you supper." Lin Pei put aside Baichucheng's flute with one hand, and walked into the room quickly, "I'm worried that you're hungry, so I made something for you, eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

The corners of Bai Chucheng's mouth curved upwards, walked behind Lin Pei and hugged Lin Pei, kissed Lin Pei's cheek and said apologetically, "It's been hard for you these days, when the queen's matter is settled, I'll take you out for a walk .”

However, the queen's matter was settled, and Baichucheng's troubles followed one after another—of course, this is a later story.

Lin Pei leaned back, allowing himself to be in closer contact with Bai Chucheng.He held Bai Chucheng's hand, turned his head and gave Bai Chucheng a reassuring smile: "I have nothing to help you, so I can only do small things. I don't want the matter to be resolved, but you fall ill."

The night was silent, and suddenly there was a small rubbing sound from the study.

Lin Pei left the palace temporarily. According to him, Ning Tianyuan fell in love with something and asked him for help.Lin Pei didn't want to leave at first, but Bai Chucheng repeatedly promised to take good care of himself, so Lin Pei reluctantly left.

Bai Chucheng was still busy, and his promise to Lin Pei had long been thrown out of the blue - Bai Chucheng persuaded Lin Pei to go with Ning Tianyuan, hoping that Lin Pei could go out and relax.During this time, Lin Pei was left out in the cold because of the Queen's affairs. Even though Lin Pei didn't show any dissatisfaction, he didn't want to see Lin Pei looking sullen.

Bai Chucheng was taking a walk in the garden, when suddenly an arrow slid past his cheek, and shot straight into the pillar of the pavilion.

"Who!" Bai Chucheng searched in the direction the arrow came from, but only found traces of people trampled on, but no figure.

"The palace is getting more and more restless now." Bai Chucheng sneered.

It disappeared instantly in the depths of the palace, which shows that the visitor is not only good at lightness kung fu, but also has a good understanding of the layout of the palace, so maybe this person is a member of the palace.

The arrow that shot into the pillar was tied with a piece of paper, Bai Chucheng took it off and looked at it: I want to save the queen, today's time, Mingxi Bieyuan.

"Mingxi Bieyuan." Bai Chucheng read these four words, his tone full of sarcasm.

Mingxi Bieyuan is a Bieyuan of the royal family in the suburbs of Yanjing, where the scenery is pleasant and makes people forget to return.In order to let Jing Yan recover as soon as possible, Bai Chupei sent someone to quietly send Jing Yan here. He occasionally came to sit and sit, but never stayed overnight - it is said that Jing Yan invited Bai Chupei back to the palace.

"Jing Yan, oh Jing Yan." Bai Chucheng tore the letter into pieces and threw them into the pool.

The Queen's matter has nothing to do with Jing Yan, the person who wrote this letter is probably Jing Yan.

A silent net hangs over Bai Chucheng, and Bai Chucheng also guesses that Jing Yan is luring himself into the net, and he will enter this net no matter what—to save the queen and tear off the mask on Jing Yan's face.

Bai Chucheng was still thinking about how Jing Yan should deal with Jing Yan, so Chen Qian hurried in.

"My lord... my lord..." Chen Qian was out of breath, talking intermittently, "Big... something is wrong!"

"Speak slowly." Bai Chucheng brought a glass of water to Chen Qian.

"The queen...the queen hanged herself!" Chen Qian took a deep breath and told the news.

Bai Chucheng's gloomy face added a bit of coldness, his eyes were bright like clusters of jumping flames, and his hands behind his back were tightly clenched into fists.

"The queen committed suicide, when did it happen?"

"The imperial doctor said it should have been last night." Chen Qian replied, "The eunuch who delivered the food this morning found out that the queen left a suicide note. Our people were the first to rush in, so we saw the contents of the suicide note."

"What did the queen say?" Bai Chucheng had already calmed down, and all he could see from his face was calm.

"Jing Yan is not in your plan, or is it in plan?" Bai Chucheng thought to himself, he suddenly didn't want to see Jing Yan anymore, he was worried that he couldn't help but kill her as soon as he saw her, killed Jing Yan, It will only accelerate the breakdown of his relationship with Bai Chupei.This is what Jing Yan would like to see, but it is not what Bai Chucheng wants.

Chen Qian sorted out his words and said: "It probably means that Jing Yan's miscarriage has nothing to do with her. The emperor either executes her directly or releases her, but the emperor only puts her under house arrest. She can't bear this kind of oppressive life. Since the emperor If you don’t believe her, her life is meaningless, it’s better to get rid of it as soon as possible.” After thinking for a while, Chen Qian added: “The queen’s suicide note seems to be written in blood.”

"What does the emperor say?"

"Although the emperor was shocked, he didn't even go to see the queen's body, so he ordered the Ministry of Rites to take care of the queen's funeral." Chen Qian sighed again and again. In the past, he thought that although the emperor was not a wise king, at least he was not a foolish king, at least he was a good husband. ,did not expect……

"Where is Master Yan Chen?" Bai Chucheng was completely disappointed with Bai Chupei,

"Master Yan is the same as usual, there is no difference." Chen Qian sighed again, after all, it was his own daughter. As a father, his daughter died innocently without even asking.

Bai Chucheng didn't have much contact with Yan Chen, but I heard that Yan Chen has a bold personality, treats his subordinates like brothers, and treats recruits like parents and children. Such a person would ignore his daughter's death?

"Tell Yan Dongming the news of the Queen's death." Bai Chucheng returned to the study after finishing speaking.
