The moonlight was like frost, and the sound of the watch sounded again and again in the middle of the night, but the Prime Minister's Mansion was still brightly lit.
In the main hall, the night breeze was blowing. Bailiheng was dressed in a gray brocade robe and sat lazily on his side.
Zhang Tong nodded and saluted.
"Sir, Miss Lin has returned home safely."
"Well, how about Cheng Yangfeng's side?"
"On the pretext that an assassin broke into the Royal Courtyard, he launched a massive search, but one thing was very strange. He specifically issued a secret order to kill the woman among the assassins alive."
Bailiheng's expression was slightly calm, and he was silent, "It's very interesting."
Just as he was talking, Konoe Shosha walked in and said, "Sir, the translation is fake."
"Took the wrong one?"
"No, there is a light incense attached to this "Orchid Collection". It will remain after being soaked in the fragrance for a long time."
"Qianzhangxiang?"
"Sir, this is the incense commonly used in women's boudoirs."
In this way, this "Orchid Collection" was not obtained from the Bamboo House at all, but from the boudoir of the General's Mansion.
In other words, he had her way from the very beginning.
Bailiheng's whole body became cold, and he chuckled after a long time, "Okay."
After speaking through gritted teeth, Bailiheng stood up.
"Go to Qingyue Bank."
"so late?"
"Listen to her sophistry. Also, it's time for her to say what she wants."
As for Shi Qinghuan, she did want to find Bailiheng, but she didn't want to go so quickly.
But due to the poison, he could only remember the contents of the dossier and take advantage of the last darkness to go to Qingyue Bank.
As morning approaches, the lights are still brightly lit beside the clear moon.
When Shi Qinghuan arrived at the back door, he was led in. When he reached the main hall, he saw Bailiheng sitting lazily by the window.
Wearing a moon-white cloak that is gentle and elegant, his black hair is half-tied by a hosta at the back of his head, and the remaining hair is scattered around his side.
He seemed a little different today than before, exuding carelessness and a bit of gentleness in every aspect.
But there is something the same, that is, the coldness in the lightness is the same as always.
Seeing Shi Qinghuan come in, Bailiheng deliberately revealed the white jade porcelain bottle in his hand, which was the one that contained the antidote before.
And his slender fingertips were holding an antidote, and when Shi Qinghuan could see it clearly, he crushed it hard.
Where the medicine residue was scattered, there was already a lot of residue, and it seemed that a lot of it had been crushed.
"You came at the right time. This antidote is the last one."
Bailiheng said, his expression cold and clearly filled with anger.
Shaking the medicine bottle in his hand and about to pour out the pills, Shi Qinghuan opened his mouth.
"Sir, please read this before making a decision."
Zhang Tong on one side handed over the scroll.
Bailiheng read the contents, and then a smile appeared on his lips.
"So, this is the purpose of you going to Xu Fang Pavilion!"
It's an affirmative tone.
"Yes, sir, with the dossier in hand, it will be much easier for you to do many things."
"Do you think you can get the antidote with this? You're too smart!"
"Of course it won't work based on this, but with the translation, it will work."
"Do you have the translation in your hands?"
"Yes and no."
Shi Qinghuan pointed to his head, "It's here."
This is true. In order to prevent the translation from leaking and to be afraid of being easily cracked by others, Cheng Yangfeng never decided what the translation would be.
In the end, in order to help Cheng Yangfeng, the final translation was written by her own hands.
Unlike all other books, the translation she wrote may seem chaotic, but it has rules that only she knows.
Bailiheng looked at the pale Shi Qinghuan and said, "I think you will say next that you will write me half of the translation first, right?"
Shi Qinghuan nodded, "Your Excellency, you are wise."
"Forget it, tell me your purpose."
"Inspection Department!"
Shi Qinghuan said it bluntly. At this point, he just wanted to go straight to the point.
There was surprise in Bailiheng's eyes, but not much.
He knew that she was different from ordinary people, so he also knew that her purpose would be extraordinary.
"Are you kidding me?"
"Of course not. I want to join the Supervision Department. I want to find out the truth ten years ago. This is my only purpose."
"When you become the Supervision Department, do you want to get in?"
"Of course I can't do it myself, but with adults, it won't be difficult. The Supervision Department is directly subordinate to the Holy Emperor, so when selecting talents, we always choose people from ordinary family backgrounds who have no entanglements with various forces. I am confident that I can pass the examination for joining the department. I only need one thing from you, adults."
"Your background."
"Yes, I need a new identity to join the Supervision Department."
"This is the crime of deceiving the emperor..."
"Your Excellency, there is no need to rush to give me an answer," Shi Qinghuan interrupted Bailiheng, "I will give you three big gifts, and it will not be too late for you to make your choice then."
"Dossier, translation, and the third gift." Bailiheng curled his lips, "Are you so confident that I will promise you then?"
"Yes, I am confident!"
Shi Qinghuan's eyes were firm, and Bailiheng looked at her with his eyebrows raised, "I'm looking forward to it, okay, then, let's start with half of the translation!"
"yes."
Shi Qinghuan stood up and was about to leave with Zhang Tong, but turned back to look at the medicine bottle in Bailiheng's hand.
The toxicity has set in and the pain is excruciating.
Bailiheng deliberately shook the medicine bottle, turned his head and chuckled, "I am good at everything, but I hate others playing tricks on me, so I have to wait for some time before I give you this medicine."
She knew it!
"I don't know how long it will take?"
Bailiheng stood up, waved his sleeves casually, and walked towards the inner room, "Oh, it depends on my mood. I haven't slept all night, so I am really sleepy!"
Seeing Bailiheng disappear, Shi Qinghuan had no choice but to follow Zhang Tong to the study.
The translation was written very quickly and was completed in less than half an hour.
Seeing the sunrise in the sky, Shi Qinghuan handed the translation to Zhang Tong and prepared to leave first, but was stopped.
"My lord has ordered that no one dares to stop Miss Lin from leaving, but whenever Miss Lin leaves the Qingyue River, the only antidote will become fish food."
He is cruel enough!
Shi Qinghuan's hands under his sleeves gradually tightened, but he still had a slight smile on his face.
"Okay, then I will be here, waiting for you to wake up."
"Miss Lin, it's your choice."
Zhang Tong turned around and left, leaving Shi Qinghuan alone in the entire study.
There was silence everywhere, and the cramping pain in the body began to get worse again.
I had no choice but to choose a seat by the window and sit down curled up.
Bailiheng was angry, which was expected.
He has a weird temper, so punishment like this is to be expected.
Fortunately, everything has gone smoothly so far, which makes Shi Qinghuan feel at ease.
The second attack of poison was much more violent than the first.
It's so menacing that it's unbearable.
But from beginning to end, Shi Qinghuan didn't make a sound. He just huddled under the window sill and tried his best to endure it.
Time passed little by little, and Shi Qinghuan didn't know when Bailiheng would appear. He only knew that in the end, she couldn't hold on, and lost consciousness in the darkness.
It was as if the cold water that night had drawn her into the abyss.
Bailiheng slept until noon.
He walked out of the room slowly, Zhang Tong guarding the door.
"how?"
"The translation is true."
"What about her?"
"I've been in the study all the time and never left."
"Still there?"
There was surprise in Bailiheng's eyes, and he turned around, quickened his pace, and headed directly towards the study.
The moment he opened the door, he saw a light green figure curled up on the ground in the corner under the window not far away, his face as pale as a broken jade.
Bailiheng hurried forward and helped Shi Qinghuan up. She was soaked in cold sweat. Although she was unconscious, her body was shivering because of pain.
Bailiheng frowned and looked complicated.
He took out the antidote and gave it to her.
"Why are you so stubborn? At this point, you don't detoxify yourself."
Zhang Tong looked confused when he heard this, but then Bailiheng leaned over, picked up Shi Qinghuan by the waist, and walked out of the study.
In the haze, Shi Qinghuan seemed to smell a familiar fragrance.
And if there is a familiar...embrace!
