Chapter 19 Returning to the Palace
"Go to Donglinmen, don't let others know." Ye Qinghuai said.

Lu Yanchen turned his head and told the man driving, "Go to Yongfu Square, 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 rope that tied the horse.

Ye Qinghuai got into the car with Lu Yanchen's support, and Lu Yanchen got into the car right behind her, and put down 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 was leaning on Lu Yanchen's back.

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

It's bloody smell.

Like the smell of her menstruation, the fishy smell has a rust-like smell.

The alarm sounded 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, and what did Lu Yanchen do when he went to the ghost market?

"This car was rented in Dongma City. I don't know what kind of dirty things were installed in it before." Lu Yanchen seemed to be aware of the bloody smell in the car. The window is propped up.

It is true that Lu Yanchen did not have any carriages and horses. Ye Qinghuai felt that what he said was reasonable, so he stopped thinking about it and asked another question: "Why do you have the gold medal from the late emperor in your hand?"

"When the late emperor was lying on the couch, he entrusted his ministers to do something. The late emperor was afraid that the minister would be hindered, so he bestowed this gold medal, and ordered the minister to return the gold medal when he came back after delivering it."

Ye Qinghuai asked: "Then the gentleman hasn't returned it all the time, is it because the matter hasn't been finished yet?"

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

"Sir, can you tell me what Huang Kao wants you to do?" Ye Qinghuai still asked.

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

"Right now? That's when we can speak out in the future."

Lu Yanchen was silent again.

Ye Qinghuai sighed.

The space in the carriage was very narrow. Ye Qinghuai and Lu Yanchen were sitting opposite each other. Both of them were tall and had long legs. As the carriage shook slightly, their knees bumped into each other one after another.

The car fell silent again.

Ye Qinghuai was still thinking about the gold medal.What a great honor it is to be bestowed a gold medal by the king. Few people have received such a gift since the beginning of the Great King Dynasty.But in Ye Qinghuai's memory, his father could only say that he appreciated Lu Yanchen, but he didn't count on him much. Why did he give him this gold medal without telling her?

Reminiscent of Lu Yanchen's rebellion and forcing the palace in his previous life, a terrible idea suddenly popped up in Ye Qinghuai's mind.

"Sir, Huang Kao bestowed you this gold medal, isn't it for you to behead the faint king and the sycophant?" Ye Qinghuai looked at Lu Yanchen and asked with a frown.

Lu Yanchen was obviously taken aback, he never thought 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 him a Shangfang sword instead of a gold medal."

Lu Yanchen seldom smiled, but he had to say that his smile was really pretty, clean and gentle, with a feeling of spring breeze blowing on his face.

When he smiled, Ye Qinghuai also felt that his speculation was absurd, so he also laughed: "That's right."

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

"Please, Your Majesty."

"If I'm really a Hunjun, sir, will I kill the Hunjun?" Ye Qinghuai looked directly into Lu Yanchen's clear eyes without avoiding.

Lu Yanchen was stunned by her question, the smile on his face disappeared, and he asked solemnly, "Why did your majesty say that?"

Ye Qinghuai could hear the sullenness in his voice, the kind of sullenness that was suspected of being sincere.

She quickly waved her hand and said, "I didn't mean that. I know Mr.'s loyalty very well. It's just..." Ye Qinghuai sighed again, she thought about her words, and said, "I had a dream recently, it was very real Dream. In the dream, my husband scolded me for being a fool, and then led troops into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, forcing me to abdicate."

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

"Your Majesty, that's just a dream." Lu Yanchen was reticent by nature, and he said this to comfort Ye Qinghuai.

"I knew it was a dream. But that dream was so real that when I woke up, I often wondered how stupid I must be for my husband to do such a thing."

After Ye Qinghuai finished speaking, she lowered her head, looking a little aggrieved.

Lu Yanchen was silent, and said: "If your majesty is really so stupid that you can't turn back, and you are the emperor's master, you are the number one sinner. You can't escape the blame. You should kill yourself to thank the world. How can you talk about forcing the palace? What about regicide?"

Lu Yanchen raised his eyes to look at Ye Qinghuai, there seemed to be a wind blowing in those black eyes that were always ancient and calm.

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

"Kill yourself?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

Lu Yanchen nodded, and said: "That day in Wenxuan Hall, I saw the paper portrait. At that time, I really thought about it."

Ye Qinghuai couldn't help laughing as she recalled the situation that day.

When she had a crush on Lu Yanchen in the past, she was always cautious and coy in front of her, but now that the matter was exposed because of the paper portrait, Ye Qinghuai felt relieved.

Anyway, it couldn't be worse, getting along with him with this mentality, it became natural instead.

Now when she looked at Lu Yanchen again, she felt like a lifetime away.Those secret joyful loves and embarrassment-turned-anger resentments have all died together with the self in the previous life, and in this life, only a few sighs and sighs are left.

"Look, I'm so dazed that I'm going to force my husband to kill himself to show his innocence." Ye Qinghuai shook her head and said angrily.

"I don't mean that..."

Lu Yanchen was about to explain, but was interrupted by Ye Qinghuai: "I'm just joking. I know that Mr. is blaming myself, but in fact, there is no need to be like this. I am young and my mind is erratic. I like this today, and tomorrow If you like that, sir, you don’t have to worry about it. During this period of time, the master taught you very well, and now I feel that Long Yang is indeed not on the right track, and it is against the norms. Now I feel that I like women, really!"

Ye Qinghuai said it firmly, but her sudden change made Lu Yanchen dumbfounded. He frowned and looked at her without saying anything.

Ye Qinghuai smiled at him, looked out the window, and saw that the car had reached Zhengde North Street, and would soon arrive at Donglinmen.She looked at the spacious and imposing copper doors of the big houses on the street, straightened her expression, and said slowly: "Sir, in this city of Shengjing, there are not only sensual dogs and horses, but also hungry people on the roadside. Do you know, sir?"

Lu Yanchen didn't speak, Ye Qinghuai took it for granted.She said again: "If this is the case at the foot of the imperial city, it can be seen in the world of Kyushu." Ye Qinghuai shook her head and sighed, "I really dare not even think about it."

This tone of hers was really a sigh of worry in her heart.

"What's even more frightening is that I have been practicing Zuo for two years, and no one in the court has told me." Ye Qinghuai looked at the rows of pavilions outside the car window, and said, "Corruption in the government and the public is rampant, and the country is so weak. It even took the country name of 'Sui He'. It's ridiculous, where does Sui Sui He come from?"

She looked at Lu Yanchen again, and said: "The courtiers are fooling me because of the black hat on their heads. But sir, as the emperor's teacher, why don't you tell me the truth? Sir, don't you believe that I can To become a Mingjun? Could it be that in Mr.’s heart, an emperor whose eyes are blindfolded can also become a Mingjun?”

Lu Yanchen was ashamed when she said it. If it wasn't for the small space in the car, he might have knelt down at this moment. He lowered his head and said: "This is the fault of my sincere minister. I thought that your majesty was young. Although he is facing the court, he is not in charge of the government, so it is not yet time to take on great responsibilities."

"I didn't blame you, and you don't have to blame yourself, I'm just blaming myself. You didn't tell me because you didn't believe me, and you thought I couldn't do it, so it was useless to tell me." Ye Qinghuai said bluntly, Her tone was very calm, and there was no resentment in her heart, "Your thinking is correct, I really can't do it. I can't even protect Li Wenqing, let alone others?"

"However, I won't be like this forever." Ye Qinghuai turned her head and looked out of the window. The cold wind outside the car window blew the hair that fell on her forehead when she ran away twice. She looked resolute and said, "As long as I'm still alive, I will never admit defeat."

From the window of the car, Donglinmen could already be seen in the distance.Ye Qinghuai turned her head to look at Lu Yanchen, and said, "Sir, I am no longer a child. If you still teach me as a child, you will only harm me."

The carriage stopped at this moment, Ye Qinghuai lifted the curtain, turned over and got out of the carriage.
