Early in the morning, on the first floor.
A luxurious carriage stopped at the door.
As if he had expected Lin Yi to come, Ye Ziming had been waiting at the door early in the morning.
He took a closer look and saw the luxurious chrysanthemum-shaped relief on the carriage frame. This was the carriage from Prince Han's palace!
Before Li Shang could take out the pedals, Lin Yi pulled Bi Yue and jumped out of the car.
"Good morning, Lord Ye."
Lin Yi ran over excitedly holding a stack of drawings.
Ye Ziming waved his hand and led her to the meeting hall in the building with a smile.
Lin Yi followed anxiously, laid out the drawings on the desk with ease, and went straight to the topic.
"I think it would be better to use a flat bottom instead of a round bottom hot pot, so that it can be heated evenly. Depending on the number of people eating, we can create some large pots, small pots, and mandarin duck pots that take into account both tastes."
Lin Yi pointed to the drawings with partitions in the middle and explained them one by one to Ye Ziming.
"Yuanyang Hot Pot? This is a good name."
Zi Ming stared at the drawing carefully, but the shape of the partition turned out to be a Bagua shape. He glanced at Lin Yi again. Could it be that she also studied Yin Yang and the Five Elements?
Lin Yi smiled slightly. It was the first time he saw Yuanyang Pot. He also thought the name was interesting, especially because the artistic conception was very beautiful.
"This is a shelf. It's actually quite simple. Just dig a hole in the middle according to the height of the table. Of course, the table cannot be burned. You also need to adjust the height yourself. In short, you need to put charcoal under the hot pot, and you must pay attention to ventilation when using it. , otherwise it is easy to be poisoned.”
"Poisoned?"
"Yes, when used indoors without ventilation, when the charcoal is not fully burned, it will produce... poisonous... things, which can make people faint, and in severe cases can even cause death."
"Miss, is coal so dangerous?"
Biyue couldn't help but ask, she had used it herself.
Ye Ziming also looked at Lin Yi with the same look. He had never used charcoal, he only knew that this kind of thing would be used for heating in ordinary homes. After all, they would only use charcoal for the winter, with a specially placed fireplace.
"It's due to incomplete combustion."
Lin Yi didn't know how to explain it for a moment. She didn't want to hear about someone being poisoned by carbon monoxide in the future just because they ate hot pot.
"Is burning enough and not enough?" Zi Ming turned his head and glanced at Biyue. As expected, she also had a confused look on her face.
Lin Yi's expression froze. He couldn't explain it starting from the composition of the air!
"You...you believe me."
She scratched her head, looking helpless.
Ye Ziming curled his lips and nodded helplessly. She believed Lin Yi in this aspect, but she didn't understand how she knew it. Seeing the slightly raised corners of her mouth, as if these were areas she was familiar with, he chuckled again. He suddenly envied Qin Shuihan for being able to marry such a lovely woman.
Compared with Lin Yi, her sister really pales a lot.
Royal palace, court.
Chen Xuan read out the letter from Han Chengzhi, the Sui Shan cavalry general, and Shen Dingjue died heroically while suppressing the rebellion.
Emperor Qin Ming thought in his mind that Lin Weifu had no reason not to return the military talisman now. The Lin family had been defeated anyway, and the king and his ministers had a battle, so let's give him some gifts in the end.
"Lin Weifu's adopted son, who made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion in Sui Mountain, was given the title of "Zhongjing". Please have your opinions."
The emperor has said so, what can I say?
Qin Zhe curled his lips and glanced at Qin Shuihan. Since his father wanted to comfort Lin Weifu, he would discuss it in private.
"Father, after you retire from the court, my son and fifth brother have something to report."
Qin Shuihan narrowed his eyes slightly. Lin Yi hadn't settled the account yet. At this time, Qin Zhe actually came to provoke him?
Emperor Qin Ming was a little curious, these two sons would join forces?
Royal study room.
"Father, I deeply regret that Shen Dingjue died in Sui Mountain. However, in the past few days, someone found a corpse on the barren hills outside the capital. Although it was completely unrecognizable, the body shape of the man was similar to Shen Dingjue's. .”
Qin Zhe glanced at Qin Shuihan from the corner of his eye, not believing that he could still be so calm.
He cleared his throat and turned to Qin Shuihan.
"Fifth brother, General Han said that Shen Dingjue was attacked by the Fan army and died heroically. He was buried in Sui Mountain. Who could be the body on the outskirts of the capital?"
Although he didn't know how Shen Dingjue was escorted to the capital by Han Chengzhi, his informant came to report that someone from the capital hurriedly drove a carriage back to the capital, setting off at night and walking very secretly.
Qin Zhe twitched the corners of his mouth calmly.
Everyone knows that the battle in Southern Xinjiang many years ago directly established Qin Shuihan's position in everyone's mind.
Fight to become a god!
Qin Shuihan was fifteen years old that year and was hailed as a rare prince in the Qin Dynasty for a century.
Qin Zhe was only seventeen that year. Although he had mediocre qualifications, he showed his ambition at a very young age. When he heard that Qin Shuihan had returned victorious from the battle in Southern Xinjiang, he did not feel jealous like other royal brothers. Instead, he tried every means to place many informants in Southern Xinjiang.
Wherever you fall, stand up!
However, after years of preparation, he admitted that he could not lead troops and fight in battles, and his martial arts skills could not reach the level of Qin Shuihan.
However, there is no way to bring down Qin Shuihan. He sincerely thanked Lin Yi for showing up and allowing him to seize the opportunity.
Since Shen Dingjue was sent to southern Xinjiang, Qin Zhe immediately sent people to thoroughly investigate his life experience and learned that Shen Dingjue had a very bad reputation and committed all kinds of evil. He couldn't figure out the connection between Shen Dingjue and Lin Yi, so he sent people to keep an eye on the Lin Mansion. Unexpectedly, after these days of surveillance, he finally caught Qin Shuihan taking Lin Yi to a house in the suburbs late at night.
I originally thought it was just a private meeting between the two of them, but then I thought it was wrong.
Qin Shuihan blatantly declared that Lin Yi was his. Is it necessary to sneak to the suburbs?
Qin Zhe didn't hesitate to go and monitor it personally. He felt that there must be something fishy about this matter.
Hard work pays off.
Staying up until late at night, he saw Qin Shuihan leaving first with Lin Yi, and then Qin Yi also appeared in the house.
After a while, several people moved another body and threw it into the back mountain.
Whose body is worthy of Qin Shuihan taking Lin Yi with him?
"Guan Sheng, please move that body to the house safely."
Although he couldn't see the face clearly, based on the body shape, Qin Zhe believed that the corpse must be that of Shen Dingjue.
But why do you want to kill Shen Dingjue? Could it be that this person was cheating on Lin Yi?
But why mobilize so much force to send him to southern Xinjiang and then secretly escort him back to the capital?
He couldn't understand, but this corpse was enough to attack Qin Shuihan himself.
"Third brother, do you think I should know who the body is?"
Qin Shuihan's brows sank, and he immediately guessed that Xiao Qi might have been targeted by Qin Zhe's people when he was disposing of the body.
Qin Zhe glanced at him, his cold face still expressionless. I have asked the Shen family to see the body, but it is indeed difficult to distinguish.
But this is not a problem, as long as Shen's father Shen Linqian says yes, then it is.
Emperor Qin Ming sat on the jade chair without saying a word. How could he care about Shen Dingjue's life and death? He was a little unhappy when Lin Weifu got an adopted son and refused to hand over the military talisman. If it weren't for his lifelong military career, I would have wanted to kill him long ago.
But this adopted son is also dead, and God is willing to accept his military talisman.
It's a pity that now the two sons are causing trouble.
Emperor Qin Ming was such a smart man and had been so scheming all his life. How could he not understand this intrigue.
"The fifth brother is busy with official duties and has no time to take care of it. However, as far as I know, the second young lady from General Lin's mansion appeared in the back mountain. An autopsy was performed and it was confirmed that this person died from a blow to the chest and the weapon used was It is the hairpin used by the woman. I am worried that my fifth brother will be deceived by such a cruel woman. I feel sorry for my fifth brother and ask my father to find out. "
Qin Shuihan frowned, didn't Xiao Qi take back the hairpin?
"Is this really happening?"
Emperor Qin Ming was not very happy at first, so why did he involve Lin Yi again?
This Lin Mansion really has a lot going on.
"Reporting to the Emperor Father, I think we can find out by handing over Miss Lin Er to Dali Temple for interrogation."
Qin Zhe knew that he could not defeat Qin Shuihan. He just wanted to torture Lin Yi because he found that hurting Lin Yi was the best way to deal with him.
"Father, there is no evidence that Lin Yi committed a crime, so why should he be handed over to Dali Temple? Why did the third brother say this?"
"A servant from the Lin Mansion testified that on the day of the incident, Miss Lin Er had left the mansion. Moreover, Father Shen also confirmed the body. As for the cause of death, the fifth brother can ask the widow to verify it again."
Qin Zhe glanced at him provocatively.
Listening to the overt and covert fighting between his two sons, Emperor Qin Ming felt a headache.
"Don't say anything anymore. It is said that the second lady of the Lin family has entered the palace."
Lin Yi had just returned home from Tianyi Floor. Before she could return to her yard, she saw Butler Liu waiting at the door with an anxious look on his face.
"Second Miss, the Emperor has invited you to join the palace. Superintendent Chenxuan has been waiting for a long time, so he returned to the palace first because he couldn't wait any longer."
Is there another difficult patient?
Lin Yi groaned, unable to think of a reason why the Holy Spirit summoned him. In desperation, she could only go back to her room, pick up her medical bag, and rush to the palace without stopping.
Seeing Chen Xuan waiting at the palace gate, she felt a little regretful. Superintendent Chenxuan didn't look as kind as Superintendent Jinglan. Even if she wanted to inquire about something, she didn't dare to speak.
Still walking through a deep path, but this time it was not going to the harem, but towards a group of majestic buildings.
It turns out that the Royal Palace during the day is not that scary. Although it is not as impressive as the Forbidden City, it is still a Royal Palace.
Lin Yi admired the buildings in the palace with awe.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, she saw two guards with swords standing at the entrance of the porch, one of whom was wearing light armor.
Lin Yi blinked. This alertness was a bit frightening, with many weapons hanging on his waist.
She followed Chen Xuan and walked a few more steps, finally arriving at the imperial study room.
"Miss Lin Er, please."
Chen Xuan opened the door and made a gesture to invite him in.
Lin Yi was slightly startled. The imperial study room was larger than expected. Looking from a distance, there were actually two people standing in front of the emperor.
Qin Shuihan!
Another person turned out to be Qin Zhe.
Lin Yi's eyes deepened. Although they wore different court uniforms, they both looked handsome!
But she was a little confused, why were they here?
But now that Qin Shuihan was there, she suddenly felt relieved.
Lin Yi glanced at Qin Shuihan calmly again, with a stern look on his face, as if he was unhappy.
But she couldn't care less at this time and immediately bowed and saluted.
"Your Majesty, I bow to the Emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness King Han."
Lin Yi lowered his head and pursed his lips. He was walking in a hurry and forgot to bring his knee pads.
"Second daughter of Lin Weifu, did you know that your sworn brother Shen Dingjue was killed in the Sui Mountain battle?"
Emperor Qin Ming's voice echoed in the huge imperial study, looking particularly solemn.
Lin Yi was stunned. What did Emperor Qin Ming mean by this question? She was so nervous that she didn't dare to look up, unable to understand the look Qin Shuihan gave her.
"...My maid...I don't know..."
"Someone found a body similar to his on the outskirts of the capital, and saw you appearing next to that body."
It's not like she threw the body away, so how could she be seen next to the body? !
Lin Yi didn't understand the meaning of Emperor Qin Ming's words, but she was sure that the murder of Shen Dingjue by them was exposed.
But this matter involves Qin Shuihan and Qin Yi, will it affect them?
Lin Yi pretended to be calm, but she was so nervous that she could clearly hear her own heartbeat.
"Lin Weifu's second daughter! Do you have anything to say?"
Emperor Qin Ming raised his voice.
"My maid..."
"Let me tell you, Father, all this was done by my son."
Afraid that Lin Yi would spill the beans, Qin Shuihan immediately knelt down in front of Emperor Qin Ming and took over the conversation for her.
Lin Yi's head was banged and she hurriedly looked up at him, only to see the stalwart figure kneeling upright in front of the emperor, while Qin Zhe standing beside him raised the corners of his mouth and smiled proudly.
How could it be carried in his hands!
Is there no chance to save it? Lin Yi didn't know what punishment Qin Shuihan would receive for admitting this matter, and all of this happened because of him!
"Fifth brother, how could you do such a ridiculous thing and kill a general of the imperial court? The emperor broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people."
Qin Zhe said it righteously.
Qin Shuihan laughed coldly.
"Father, I did not say that I killed Shen Dingjue, but I just killed a disciple. Shen Dingjue died in Sui Mountain. Not only General Han can testify, but when he was buried, tens of millions of soldiers could testify. "
He sighed in his heart. Fortunately, he ordered Zhu Tianhua from Fengying Pavilion to find a body with a similar shape and transformed it into Shen Dingjue's appearance. He also deliberately held a grand funeral.
"Father, you may not believe General Han's words, but in front of everyone, Shen Dingjue has been buried in Sui Mountain. How could his body appear on the outskirts of the capital?"
Emperor Qin Ming was a little doubtful. Could it be that the body was not Shen Dingjue? He naturally hoped that it was not Shen Dingjue's body, so that he could recover the military talisman, otherwise it would not end well if Lin Weifu made a fuss.
Even if Qin Zhe couldn't figure it out, he still guessed that there must be something fishy in Sui Mountain. Why didn't the informant discover it? He was unwilling to miss such a good opportunity.
"Father, no matter who the body is, murder is a serious crime, and you must give an explanation to the people!"
Emperor Qin Ming raised his eyebrows slightly. Is murder a serious crime? Not to mention how many people he had killed, the hands of these two sons were stained with blood. This statement was too stupid, and the Zhe'er in front of him made him feel a little disappointed.
Qin Zhe was slightly stunned. He seemed to sense Emperor Qin Ming's disappointment. He clenched his fists. It seemed that he had been too hasty.
asshole! Lin Yi took a deep breath. Of course she didn't dare to look up at Emperor Qin Ming's expression, but she couldn't help but regret that everything was caused by her.
We can't harm Qin Shuihan!
"Your Majesty, that is just a prostitute that I met. I know that Tianwang Huihui is not leaking, so I should plead guilty. I believe that Your Majesty also knows that King Han just wanted to protect me and deliberately said that it was him."
This idiot! Qin Shuihan pursed his lips, he didn't need her to take the blame.
Qin Zhe narrowed his eyes, this was what he was waiting for.
"Father, this second Miss Lin is really powerful. Not only did she kill people, but she also bewitched her fifth brother. I think she should be thrown into the dungeon immediately."
Emperor Qin Ming glanced at Qin Zhe coldly, knowing that his position as prince was uneasy. He sighed. As princes, this is their fate. The day of bloodshed will always come. After all, he is also the same. Come like that.
Hearing this sigh, Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably. A tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds!
No, she believed that the emperor still loved Qin Shuihan very much. Even if he knew that he was responsible for the murder, he would not admit it!
She suddenly raised her head and stared blankly at Emperor Qin Ming.
"Your Majesty, Lin Yi pleads guilty and please your Majesty not to punish irrelevant people."
Emperor Qin Ming saw the determination in her eyes. Although he appreciated it a little, he was also very sorry. He did not want his sons to kill each other while he was alive. At the moment, I just want to be an ordinary father and enjoy family happiness. As for the position of emperor, who will win in the end depends on their abilities.
Although this Lin Yi has excellent medical skills, if it hurts the brothers, they can kill each other.
"In that case, take me to the dungeon."
Suddenly, two people rushed in silently at the door.
Emperor Qin Ming glanced at Lin Yi, and the two men immediately grabbed Lin Yi to prevent her from moving.
Lin Yi glanced at the two of them expressionlessly. The clothes of these two guards were very special. They were wearing golden armor. They had not only knives but also short spears and jade swords on their waists. They were even more exaggerated than the two guards he had just seen. .
Worthy of being the emperor's guard!
"Father!"
Qin Shuihan became anxious, how could that idiot be so stupid.
Qin Ming Emperor Long Yan was slightly angry. At this time, he felt a little tired and did not have enough patience to listen to their argument.
"No one is allowed to say another word! Everyone, stand down."
Lin Yi didn't know how she was imprisoned in the dungeon. She was in a daze, as if she was calmly chatting with Ye Ziming about making money in the morning, but now she was imprisoned.
She glanced at the cold cell. It turned out that this ancient cell looked like this, so it must be the highest level.
Fortunately, it was different from what I imagined. It was not covered with straw mats. It would be quite annoying if there were any mouse corpses. Who knows what bacteria and viruses it might carry.
There was a quilt in the corner and a wooden barrel at the door of the cell. She was huddled in the corner with her hands around her knees. It was indeed a dungeon and she couldn't see the outside world at all.
What will the emperor do with himself?
Even Qin Shuihan couldn't save himself this time.
Lin Yi showed a wry smile. He had saved himself so many times, and this time he finally protected him.
It was rare for her to regret it. If she had dealt with Shen Dingjue in Sui Mountain instead of taking him all the way to the outskirts of the capital, wouldn't there have been these troubles?
