When I am connected with the prince of the same life

Chapter 80 Becoming Her Reliance
"Okay." Before Lin Heng could answer, Cheng Muqing spoke first.She was afraid that Lin Heng would disagree, so she quickly followed up with A Feng's words, "Go, if you really find out something, I promise to reward you."

"Thank you, Princess Wang!" Ah Feng kowtowed twice, and as soon as he raised his head, Cheng Muqing glanced at the door.He understood, and quickly got up to say goodbye.

In the room, only Lin Heng and Cheng Muqing were left.

"Heng, don't blame me for making decisions for you." Cheng Muqing said, "Your injuries are still serious, so don't be too tired."

"En." Lin Heng looked at her, hesitating to speak.

Cheng Muqing still had some pain in his chest, although he avoided the vital points, the pain did not diminish at all.

She walked to the bed and lay down slowly.

"Does it hurt?" Lin Heng sat on the edge of the bed, looking down at her.

"It's okay." Cheng Muqing stretched her brows as much as possible, trying to make him not worry about herself.

"Sorry……"

"Ok?"

"If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be hurt..."

"Don't think so." Cheng Muqing said.

"It's me..." Lin Heng squeezed his fingers tightly, "If I'm strong enough, I can protect you. Instead of being protected by you all the time like now...even implicating you..."

Cheng Muqing was taken aback, and couldn't help raising his hand.

Seeing her stretching her hand towards him, Lin Heng quickly bent down.

"According to this, I should say sorry to you, right?" Cheng Muqing pinched his unround cheeks, "It's because I'm not good at martial arts that I almost failed to keep you."

"Where..." Lin Heng pursed his lips, his eyes misty, "I heard Cheng Muhan said that no matter how strong a girl is, she will always want a gentle support."

He also wanted to be her support and protect her.

"Listen to his nonsense." Cheng Muqing belittled his younger brother as usual, "For me, I am the man who wants to protect me!"

Lin Heng's heart fluttered when she said "my man", his ears turned red, and he couldn't help turning around and coughing a few times.But also because of the severe cough, it caused chest pain. He held his chest and tried his best to control himself from coughing.

"Are you okay?" Cheng Muqing stood up, his eyes full of worry.

"It's okay." Lin Heng shook his head again and again, "It's just that the wound hurts..."

"I'll show you." Cheng Muqing pouted, and let out a small breath towards his chest.

The wound cannot be exposed to the wind, so she blows very carefully.

Although her lips are pale, they are very round, making people look at her and can't help but want to peck her.

She obviously didn't blow it hard, and people couldn't even feel the air flow.

But Lin Heng felt that her heart was swaying back and forth along the direction she had blown out...

The hot air rushed up from his neck, making his cheeks slightly red.

"Why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?" Cheng Muqing stopped blowing.She widened her eyes and quickly dragged him to the bed, "Lie down and rest."

"En." Lin Heng nodded, obediently lying beside her.

"Have a good rest, shall we go back home later?" Cheng Muqing suggested.

As the saying goes, a golden nest and a silver nest are not worth your dog's nest.

No matter how comfortable the guest room furnished by Golden Eagle Division is, it cannot compare with his own room.

"Okay." Lin Heng nodded. He put his hands on his chest and pressed hard on his heart, trying to calm down the beating heart.

Compared to his restlessness, Cheng Muqing was much more relaxed.She yawned, her eyes were slightly closed, and after a while, there was the sound of even breathing.

Lin Heng turned around cautiously.

The sunlight slanted slightly, and shone into the room from the window.

Time suddenly slowed down, Lin Heng slowed down his breathing, for fear of waking her up.

He slowly propped himself up and moved closer to her.

She slept soundly, as if she had some sweet dream, the corners of her lips were still slightly raised.

thump - thump -

His Adam's apple rolled up and down with his heartbeat, Lin Heng slowly bent down, and placed a very light kiss on the hair on her forehead.

……

When Cheng Mu woke up, Lin Heng was still in a daze, and was a little flustered when she opened her eyes.

"Did you do something bad?" Cheng Muqing joked with a smile.

As a result, the other party looked flustered and turned away.

"Really? Did you really do something bad?" Cheng Muqing was shocked, and she patted him on the shoulder, "What are you doing? Tell me?"

Lin Heng buried his face in the pillow and ignored her.

Seeing that the inquiry was fruitless, Cheng Muqing had no choice but to give up, got up, tidied up his appearance, and left with Lin Heng.

It was getting late by then.

The sunset glow renders the clear blue sky, and the sun sinks to the west with a myriad of rays of light.

The two were escorted back to Prince Qi's mansion by the Golden Eagle Division.

Before leaving, Cheng Muqing found Su Yayi and asked him to spread the news that she and Lin Heng had been seriously injured, and help him to watch out for any extremely rich and drug addicts in various gambling houses.

According to Cao Da, his cousin likes to gamble very much.Since Zhao Liangxu and his cousin often hang out, they must also often go to the gambling house.

……

Back at the palace, the two drank porridge together, and then went back to their respective rooms to recuperate.

This time Lin Heng didn't cling to her, but went straight back to Jingyuan.

Cheng Muqing was now more certain that he had done something wrong.

What is wrong with you?She's curious, but she's not an inquisitive person.

She respects his privacy...

Jingyuan.

Staring at the pitch-black ceiling, Lin Heng paused for a while before reluctantly accepting that he had done something unsightly.

He comforted himself in his heart that he and her were husband and wife...

It may be because of the medicine, after a while, he felt that his eyelids were heavy.After a while, he fell asleep deeply.

It's thinking day by day and dreaming at night.

In the dream, the scene where Cheng Muqing pulls him behind him——

He clearly saw the long knife cut through her chest, leaving a bloody wound.

"Heng, take care."

The difference from reality is that the world is still, the girl turned her head and looked at him with a smile.

Blood gushed out of her mouth, gulping out, like a destroyed embankment, with the river water pouring out continuously.

"Ah Qing...don't...Ah Qing..."

He embraced her body and saw behind her, the man in black wanted to make up the knife.

"No!" He hugged Cheng Muqing tightly and pressed her into his arms.

"You can't protect her like this." Lin Yan appeared, pulled Cheng Muqing from his arms, and fought back the man in black.

The man in black disappeared like smoke, and the world was peaceful.

"Only I can protect her." Lin Yan had a gentle smile on his face.

He froze in place, staring blankly at the backs of the two people who were drifting away.

"I will become stronger, and I will protect her..."

In the darkness, he hung his head and muttered to himself.

In a daze, he kept chanting Cheng Muqing's name.

When he woke up, Lin Heng was already sweating profusely, as if soaked in a pool.He saw that the outside of the house was completely dark, and Ah Feng had come back at some point, and was sleeping beside his pillow.

"Huh..." Lin Heng put his hand on his forehead, feeling sweat.

He is really too weak... If there is no one to help this time, wouldn't Ah Qing want... His heart throbbed suddenly, the pain was terribly painful.

The prostitute of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, she is skilled in martial arts, gentle and polite, and has protected him time and time again...

And he...

Lin Heng covered his head, his body trembling slightly.

In the past, Cheng Muqing protected him and made him feel at ease and happy.But those protections do not involve the lives of the two of them after all.

The image of Cheng Muqing covered in blood flashed in his mind again.

He can't always enjoy her care and protection for him.He should also...learn, take care of her, protect her...protect her forever Changan...

He... must become someone worthy of Cheng Muqing.

Maybe because he noticed that he was waking up, Ah Feng opened his vacant eyes and looked up at him, "My lord, why are you awake? Do you want to go to the toilet? Or drink water?"

"You sleep." Lin Heng said, "I'm fine."

Ah Feng rubbed his face and slowed down for a while.

"My lord, you said, we have searched for clues in the past two days. But why do I feel that this case is still a bit... unreal?" A Feng scratched his chin, "The existing evidence points to Cao Da, the servant of the household department. One is the corpse of his cousin, the other is his imperial envoy for disaster relief, and the man in black who hurt you and the princess. Tell me, could it be...he is really a prisoner?"

Lin Heng squeezed the space between his eyebrows, thinking about all the reconciliation between him and Cheng Muqing, and suddenly remembered those fake money.

"Why...the fake money was left at the scene?" Lin Heng muttered.

At that time, he and Cheng Muqing were thinking about this question in the carriage.Later, there were dead men chasing and killing them, and the two were injured, and the matter was forgotten.

Now that I think about it, the fake silver was left at the scene... Really because I wanted to replace the real silver with fake silver?But this is a waste of time, and it is easy to leave clues and make the plan fail...

Or, the fake silver had to be kept?
"My lord." Ah Feng said, "Since everything is so hazy, why don't we go to the source to check? Don't all the money flow out of the household department? Let's go to the household department to check it?"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Heng woke up suddenly.

Neither he nor Cheng Muqing was a master at solving cases, so he ignored this point.

The source, the source of silver.

If you want to find out a case, you have to investigate the whole body, not letting go of any clues.

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Heng drank the medicine, changed the gauze, got into the carriage and went to the household department.

It was all done with the help of Su Yayi to go to the household department.

Lin Heng is not very good at interpersonal communication, but luckily he has Ah Feng by his side.Although Ah Feng seems to be respectful to everyone, sometimes he can make people laugh when he speaks.

The two came to the Household Yamen, because the officials present did not know him, so they all looked at him with a hint of doubt.

The person who received Lin Heng was a doctor in charge of household registration from the household department.

Although the doctor heard that he came here for a casual look, he still warmly entertained him.

Lin Heng is not a talkative person, so it is Afeng who talks to Hubu Langzhong.The words between the two of them were just exchanging warm greetings, but Lin Heng always felt that there was something in their words.

For example, Afeng has been asking about the internal structure of the household department, and also asked about who will take over the disaster relief bank.

There is a feeling of "actually we are here to investigate the case" inside and out.

"My lord, do you want to go to the bank to check?" After chatting for a while, the doctor's eyes showed a little bit of investigation.

Bank... source...

Lin Heng nodded and followed him towards the bank.

The treasury is located in a very secret place, surrounded by guards.The degree of rigor is comparable to that of the inner court of the Golden Eagle Division.

The doctor showed his sign and introduced Lin Heng to the guards.

After checking for a long time, the guard asked the two to hand over their purses and other items.

The doctor seemed to have gotten used to it, and obediently handed over his purse.

Lin Heng had a piece of silver in his arms, "Can't I not give it?"

Due to his status as King Qi, the two guards expressed their desire to take a look.

After reading it, I just let the two of them in.

A Feng was stopped outside because he was a slave.

Bank.

The whole room was extraordinarily gloomy and cold, with a faint smell of copper.

"How do you know I'm King Qi?" Lin Heng asked, since he entered here, he didn't seem to reveal his identity.

"Who doesn't know that the king of Qi is investigating the disaster relief bank case? I'm not stupid, I can still understand the implausibility of the servant next to the prince." Lang Zhong smiled and opened a wooden box.

The wooden box is about three feet long and two feet wide, and is made of strong camphor wood.

Inside the box is white silver.The silver is neatly arranged, with big arms and round waists.

"His Royal Highness King Qi, I believe that the servant is innocent." The doctor said suddenly, "He is the most upright person, serious in his work, and has never been greedy for anything."

Lin Heng didn't speak, but picked up a piece of silver to observe.

"If you want to talk about it, I think you might as well check Zhao Liangxu." The doctor hummed, "Assuming my father's identity, I directly climbed to the position of the household doctor. He is not humble at all, what should I say to him?" , he didn’t listen. Mr. Cao’s kindness to persuade him turned out to be a donkey’s liver and lungs... Cough, of course, I don’t know why I suggest you investigate him because I’m dissatisfied with him.”

"Yeah." Lin Heng put down the money, "You know, where was he at that time?"

then?The doctor immediately reacted, "At that time, we were counting money at the household department. With so much money shipped out, we had to stay to arrange logistics."

"Do you have a lot of contact with him? Do you know where he usually goes?"

Lang Zhong shook his head, his relationship with Zhao Liangxu was not good, how did he know what he was doing?
The two chatted for a while about the general situation of the household department. For example, the court seems to be short-lived, and the current emperor often takes money from the household department to refine alchemy and buy tripods...

Before leaving, Lin Heng took another look at the money in the room.

Walking out of the bank, the guard stepped forward and began to search the body to check whether the two had taken anything extra.

The two of them were released until there was no problem.

"Does everyone have to leave their money outside the door?" Lin Heng asked.

"Naturally..." Lang Zhong nodded, "But Zhao Liangxu is different."

Lin Heng looked sideways.

"His boy is relying on Mr. Shangshu. When he enters the bank, he will show the guard the money in his pocket. After he comes out, he will check the amount with the guard." Lang Zhong said, "The guard bought him because of Zhao Shangshu. It's a bit thin, so let him do it."

"So, wouldn't Lord Shang Shu have a lot of face?" A Feng couldn't help but said.

"That's natural." The doctor smiled, "After all, I have been working for more than 20 years. I have been struggling from the bottom to the present, so I naturally know many people."

The doctor sent the two of them back to the Yamen of the Ministry of Households all the way, and kept saying good things for Cao Da along the way.

Lin Heng didn't limit him to speak alone, but instead asked a few more people.The answers they got were mostly the same, and they all thought Cao Shilang was a good old man.Although sometimes I will make peace with each other, and be a peacemaker...
