When Lin Yi entered the room, Su Mu was still unconscious. He laid quietly on the bed, his face devoid of any trace of blood. His hair was let loose on a pillow towel, and his long, curly eyelashes covered his eyes. Lin Yi couldn't help but probe for her breath. Luckily, Lin Yi could clearly feel her breath on his fingertips, tickling him.

Lin Yi relaxed his heart and stretched out his hand to smooth the creases on Su Mu's forehead.

Did he really give her too much pressure? Lin Yi thought about it.

He couldn't bear to let go, but he also couldn't bear to see her suffer.

Su Mu didn't wake up. Lin Yi pulled over a chair and sat on the edge of the bed. Just like that, he looked at her with a trace of satisfaction.

Beside the bed were two volumes, left by the coroner for the two of them. Lin Yi took one of the books and began to read it.

This was not an autopsy report because the coroner had not seen the body at all.

What a coincidence, this case also had something to do with Boss Huang.

It was said that it was created by a disciple of Lu Ban's family, and was extremely exquisite. Every time the box was opened, the method was different, so the first time might not be able to open it a second time, and even closing the box required a specific method.

The mechanical skill was another of Boss Huang's hobbies, and he began to study how to open the box on the spot. After a long time, he finally opened the box but could not close it. Thus, he had his men move the box carefully to one side.

At the dinner table, Boss Huang's two sons were playing around. The older one carried Boss Huang's youngest son in and was still playing with him to lock him up, making others not pay too much attention to him. Could it be that a little kid like him could close the box that not even Boss Huang could close? The eldest son was standing at the side, while the youngest son was crying inside the box. Big Brother Huang tried everything he could, but was unable to open the box, so he quickly sent people to look for the successor of Lu Ban. Everyone was saying that he was definitely going to lose his son.

After three days, Lu Ban's disciples were still unfound, the box was still unopened, and his youngest son had stopped moving. Big Brother Huang had no choice but to bury his son. When Madam heard about it, he fell sick and left with his son.

Her concubine became his wife, and her son became Boss Huang's only son. It was said that her eldest brother had entered the box to give it to him. It was rumored that her concubine had harmed her main wife and her son.

But since the people did not take action and the officials did not pursue the matter, Boss Huang thought it was a family matter so he did not report it to the officials. As to who was the culprit in this case, no one knew.

When he was young, the emperor had given him one as a toy. He thought it was too simple, so not long after playing, he was thrown into a corner. He didn't know what kind of carved box Elder Huang's was? Since a child could accidentally lock the door, why couldn't Boss Huang open it even after three days? Lin Yi became interested.

But no matter what secret was in there, the child and the sculptor box had already been buried, so Boss Huang definitely wouldn't agree to dig up the corpses and open the coffins.

Lin Yi put the book aside and just sat there, feeling the effects of his sleepiness. Lin Yi didn't want to go back to his room, so he simply lay on the bed and fell asleep.

She knew what to do, but she was afraid that the amount of blood she had shed wouldn't be enough to attract the dogs, so she just gritted her teeth and cut it twice. The wound was crisscrossed and there was a depth of half an inch.

What kind of sin was this!? The injury on the back of his foot had not healed yet, so he had received a new injury.

Su Mu took a deep breath and used his hand to feel the wound. The wound was already wrapped in layers of cloth and it was impossible to feel the skin.

With her hands on the bed to support herself, Su Mu grabbed the bed sheets and half pulled herself up.

Su Mu saw Lin Yi lying at the side of the bed, half of his face exposed. The Great Yan Dynasty used thick eyebrows as a man's beauty, but Lin Yi's eyebrows were not very thick. Although they were straight, they were still raised at the end. The closed eyes formed a curved slit, and the eyelashes rested on it. His nose was tall and straight, and his mouth was covered by a sleeve, making it difficult to see clearly.

Su Mu's hand could not help but move towards Lin Yi's face.

Lin Yi suddenly opened his eyes. Within his eyes, there seemed to be a clear spring. It was extremely clear, but it hid too many emotions. Dawn and dusk. Light and shadow were also hidden within it.

Their gazes met, and Su Mu was at a loss as to what to do. He embarrassedly retracted his hand.

Even though the Su Family had been in trouble since a young age, they had not suffered much under the protection of the Wang family. Their hands were still white and tender, and Lin Yi felt as if he was holding onto a piece of tofu, his heart floating in the air.

"You, I, you, um, let go!" Su Mu reacted and pulled out his hand.

Lin Yi touched his head, feeling like he was a kid. "If you take a rest, I'll go get a bowl of congee and fill your stomach."

Lin Yi stood up, too hurriedly, and even flipped over his chair.

Su Mu covered his mouth and laughed.

Lin Yi ran to the kitchen. The congee had been cooked in the morning, so it only needed to be heated once more. Lin Yi even found a red date and broke it into pieces before instructing the chef to cook it together with him.

Afraid that what happened last time would happen again, Lin Yi didn't dare to leave. He stared at the bowl of porridge and brought it back to Su Mu's room.

Su Mu had already endured the pain of changing into a new set of clothes.

After the bowl of hot porridge entered his stomach, his entire body started warming up.

"Take me for a walk." Su Mu put down the bowl and said to Lin Yi, "The sun is shining outside. If I stay in the house, I'll get moldy."

Lin Yi complied and found a wheelchair. The wheelchair was not completely washed, and it was still stained with blood. Lin Yi could only find a cloth and carefully wipe it clean before pushing it in front of Su Mu.

Lin Yi carried Su Mu onto the wheelchair.

County Magistrate Ge also heard the two wake up and ran over in a flustered manner, just in time to run into the two who were walking out of the door.

County Magistrate Ge bowed and handed a letter to Su Mu. "It's from Beijing. We've been here since the day before yesterday. Since you haven't woken up, I've been keeping it for you."

Su Mu guessed it was a letter from Wang Lin, but he couldn't understand why Wang Luo would risk sending this letter over. As he opened the letter, his expression couldn't help but change.

Su Mu glanced at Lin Yi. Lin Yi said to County Governor Ge, "You may leave first."

County Official Ge agreed. Lin Yi looked around to make sure that there was no one around before speaking to Su Mu: "There's no one around."

"A letter from the king, saying that the Yan Clan has caught hold of the evidence of hundreds of officials, from the first rank, to the ninth rank, with the official list in hand, no one in the imperial court dared to defy the Yan Clan's order. The Emperor is severely ill, and it has been many days since the start of the imperial court."

In order to fight against the other families and support the Yan family, the Emperor had been suspicious and ambitious when he was young. Now that he was old and the cat had exposed its fangs, it was too late to find out that it had raised a tiger.

After a long silence, Lin Yi said, "I will make a trip back to the capital." Lin Yi originally wanted to recover from her injuries before going out, but now she couldn't wait any longer.

Su Mu nodded.

The flowers in the yard were flourishing, and sometimes fat wasps buzzed by.

The next day, Lin Yi quietly went out alone. The doctor still came to his door every day, and after an hour, he shook his head and left.

The room was filled with the rich smell of medicine, probably because Lin Yi was very ill, Bao Fu and his temper were very bad. Even Su Mu was often chased out of the room, but in the end, no one was allowed to visit him. He even sent a message back to the capital requesting the Imperial Physician to come to Wu City for treatment.

Yan Heng, who had left eyes and ears in Wu City, also began to believe the matter of the crown prince's illness. He embraced his new concubine and loved him dearly.

Lin Yi noiselessly returned to the capital. When he arrived, he found out that the Imperial Palace guards had all been replaced by the Yan Clan's men. The sealed cage was so large that even a bird wouldn't be able to escape their eyes.

Fortunately, before he left, he planted a group of people outside the palace. After a series of twists and turns, he finally ended up pretending to be a eunuch and sneaking in.

Even outside of the emperor's chambers, there were people from the Yan Clan guarding. Lin Yi couldn't enter, and after wandering outside for a few days, he finally saw Yan Ge. Perhaps it was to provoke the emperor, but he already didn't follow the rules, so he arrogantly brought his new concubine into the emperor's chambers.

When Lin Yi saw his concubine, he was shocked. This was obviously Sang Xin, who had left the capital a day earlier than him. He was also the young miss of the Ye Clan, Ye Yu!

What did she want to do?

Lin Yi wanted to come into contact with Sang Xin, but was helpless. Sang Xin had always been inseparable from Yan Shen.

Late into the night, Lin Yi was standing on the wall of the Yan family's First Wife's courtyard, dressed in his nightly attire. The moon in the sky was obscured by clouds, and only a tiny bit of light could be seen.

When Lin Yi saw that the lights in the room had been turned off for a long time, he waved his hand and a few well-ordered men in black jumped down from the wall.

Lin Yi flew in front of the First Wife's room. With a twist of his sword, the lantern under the eaves fell to the ground. The candle quickly ignited the outer shell of the lantern.

Lin Yi told the black-clothed men to return to their own courtyard while he turned around to another small courtyard in the Yan Clan's courtyard. Compared to the previous big lady's courtyard, this courtyard was much smaller, but it was much more luxurious.

Soon enough, the night watchman noticed the fire in the first lady's room. The fire was uncontrollable, and the servant immediately ran over to the small courtyard.

After knocking for a long time, the door was lit up.

"What's so noisy, what's so noisy about!" Wearing his underclothes and underwear, Yan Shen rubbed his eyes as he opened the door. His new concubine was grinding him like a demon, and he had just fallen asleep.

"There, there's a fire, the first lady's room is on fire!" The manservant panted.

Yan Ling's wife had married into the Yan Clan when they were still young. Although their relationship had been almost worn out, Yan Ling still had a little bit of friendship with her. If it was anyone else, he would ignore them and leave them to their fate.

Yan Heshen did not bother to put on his clothes and hurriedly ran towards the courtyard of the First Lady.

Sang Xin also came out, looking at the direction where Yan Hen had left in a daze.

In a moment she was inside, closing the door and turning out the light.

Lin Yi climbed onto the roof, lifted off the tiles, and jumped down.

The room was dark, and Sang Xin, sensing that someone had entered, was about to shout when a hand covered her mouth.

"It's me, Lin Yi." Lin Yi stood behind her and said.

"What are you doing here? You were the one who set the fire? " Sang Xin asked.

"I'd like to ask why you're here." Lin Yi asked.

"Revenge is naturally not something that can be done by others." Sang Xin faced Lin Yi and said, "Don't talk about honor and honor. That bone of the Ye Family has long been broken by your royal family."

Lin Yi knew that he didn't have this kind of stance to criticize Sang Xin, so he naturally didn't say anything more. "I want to make a deal with you."

Sang Xin frowned, but he still said, "Tell me, I'll listen to what you have to say first."

"As long as you can get that list, I can promise you anything."

Sang Xin smiled and said, "This matter is extremely risky, and I don't think that there is anything on your body that can move my heart. Everyone knows, in the annals of history, the Ye Family might be said to have betrayed the Ye Family, but in the annals of history, this is only supporting evidence of the Emperor's disrespect. "

"General Ye is fair and square. No matter if it is true or false, he will never write it down." But even if you really have the means to kill Yan Heng, after a hundred years, do you really have the face to face the ancestors? General Ye will only be ashamed of your cowardice! Lin Yi said in a low voice.

Sang Xin fiercely kicked Lin Yi, and said with a sobbing tone of voice, "Scram! "Scram!"

Why? Why? Where did you get the face to blame me?

Having said that, Lin Yi didn't say anything more. He also didn't try to comfort Sang Xin as he walked out from the rooftop.

At this moment, the fire could no longer be seen. He had set it well, and the intensity of the fire was not too great. The falling lanterns would only let everyone think that it was an accident.

Lin Yi jumped onto the wall and left the Yan family's courtyard.
