Chapter 138
After soothing Dudu to sleep, Baili Changge stood up gently and went to Ye Hen's main hall.

He hasn't rested yet, the candlelight in the study room is flickering, the picturesque face is coated with a yellowish halo, from a distance, it is actually a bit warmer than usual.

Baili Changge walked in softly and sat down on the soft chair opposite him. Originally, he wanted to ask about the day she returned to Beijing, but after thinking about it, it has been so long, it seems unnecessary to talk about it now.

After thinking about it, she changed the subject, "Since it has been confirmed that there are two people who wrote to Qin Dai, shall we go and investigate tomorrow to confirm the identity of the other person?"

"Feng Nong has arrived in Chuzhou." Ye Hen raised his head and smiled slightly, and handed her a list, "This is the list of study personnel I asked him to check."

Baili Changge took it over and saw that the first one was Xu Luo's name, followed by three or four others, all of which she didn't recognize.

"There is no Pan Yang." Baili Changge murmured, "It seems that Pan Yang is telling the truth. He and Xu Luo are not very familiar."

Ye Hen handed over another piece of paper, on which the Mantra of Purifying Heart was transcribed in elegant fonts, he pointed to it and said slowly: "This one is in Xu Luo's own handwriting. In this way, we can dispel the doubts about the mantra. His doubts, that is to say, there is someone else who wrote to Qin Dai with Pan Yang."

"Who could it be?" Baili Changge fell into deep thought.

Then she picked up the pen, spread out a piece of rice paper and said to Ye Hen: "Now let's sort out the current clues and see if we can find any connection."

"First, what we saw with our own eyes that night, Qin Dai and Xu Luo directly climbed onto the bronze tripod, and finally fell into it and were burned to death. The doubt here is what are the two of them looking for?"

"Second, after the body was carried out, Pan Yang happened to be at the scene, crying very sadly. There are two doubts here. One: Qin Dai and him will get married on the second day. It stands to reason that Pan Yang at that time Yang should be at home preparing to pick up the bride. Why did he appear at the altar? Second: According to Qin Kaiming, Qin Dai ran out after receiving a letter from Pan Yang that night. , how could they appear in Chuzhou City at the same time?"

"The third is the letter we asked someone to show the handwriting that day. What was written on it? What does '亻' represent?"

"The fourth is the jade hairpin you showed me just now. If it is confirmed that it is indeed from the palace in the future, then who is Qin Dai related to in the palace?"

"The fifth one is what I can't figure out the most." She paused and said: "The pattern on the bracelet is peach blossoms. Even now, I still can't understand what peach blossoms represent. Qin Dai and Xu Luo are obviously attracted What does the fire have to do with peach blossoms?"

"The sixth question is what I want to explore. What is the connection between Qin Dai and Shaoqing, or what do they have in common? Why is it the person pointed to by the bracelet?"

"It sounds complicated." Ye Hen frowned deeply after hearing her analysis.

"It's more than complicated." Baili Changge stopped writing, poured himself a cup of tea and drank to moisten his throat, and then continued: "It's simply too complicated, otherwise why would His Highness Changsun say that these people will threaten Daliang once they die? country."

After finishing speaking, she leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, and said wearily: "Actually, sometimes I would rather that the bracelet of His Royal Highness Changsun is pure nonsense, so that I don't have to worry about finding the truth, at least for me It seems that whether it is Qin Dai or Shaoqing, their life and death have nothing to do with Daliang's situation, at most there are two more headless cases."

"Not necessarily." Ye Hen said suddenly: "After all, there are still five people who will die in the future. Maybe there is really a great connection between these people, but now we can't find out the key."

"By the way, my lord, I remember that day when I entered the palace and got the bracelet out, you said two words to me. From the shape of my lips, I could tell it was 'take care'. Did you know that this bracelet was weird?"

"Tianyu never mentioned it to me." Ye Hen shook his head, "But the same thing happened to me in the year when the wandering monk gave him the bracelet."

Baili Changge was startled and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

"The wandering monk came to me. He said that I will not escape bad luck in this life." The wick cracked once, and the flame flickered even more. His face hidden in the flickering light could not see the expression clearly, but the voice could be heard. It was a bit dumb.

A sudden wind blew in the corridor, and the palace lantern swayed with the wind, and its black shadow swaying from side to side could be seen from inside, like a strange ghost in the dark night.

Baili Changge suddenly couldn't help shivering, because she realized Ye Hen's gradually darkening face, and also thought of the fire five years ago-the wandering monk's assertion came true, and Ye Hen couldn't escape the fire. Even if he manages to save his life, he will not be able to restore his heroic appearance on the battlefield.

From the emperor to the prince, and then to the grandson of the emperor, all of them were deeply wary of him because of his return from the calamity.

Birds are gone, good bows are hidden, cunning rabbits are dead, and running dogs are cooked.The swords and swords at the center of royal power, and the brothers fighting against each other, are like an invisible net, which has not moved a bit since it was put under the hood five years ago.

Ye Hen didn't speak any more, just quietly watching the dancing candle flames in the silver tray.

Seeing him like this, Baili Changge suddenly felt a lump in his throat.

She stood up, walked gently to his side, stretched out her hand to touch his fingertips, then retracted, and whispered: "My lord, don't be too sad, just like you said before, in our I'm still here until the end of the partnership."

Yes, at least for now she's still here.Baili Changge thought, Princess Jin failed to give him tenderness, although she could not make up for it, at least she would not leave him alone.

The fingers were suddenly held backwards.

When Baili Changge came back to his senses, he saw Ye Hen looking at her quietly, the bright lights reflected in his usually clear eyes, as well as her face, he suddenly bent his lips into a smile, "Can you hear me?" What you said is really good."

She could see that he was smiling from the bottom of his heart, and he was also happy from the bottom of his heart. She didn't know how her words made him feel, but it would be nice if they could comfort him.

Ye Hen suddenly pulled her into his arms, leaned his chin on her shoulder, and just stood there quietly.

Baili Changge's hand that was stretched out to push him away suddenly froze in mid-air, and slowly put it on his back after realizing that he had nothing to do.

Ye Hen seemed to feel the momentary change from rejection to obedience, and gradually tightened his arms, hugging her tightly.

Baili Changge felt his desolate expression when he mentioned the past, for some reason, she felt as if she had been stung by a bee in her heart, and the sting made her eyes dim.
