After the rebirth, the queen took the Meiqiang tragedy script

Chapter 192 Red Bamboo
Ye Qinghuai was silent as Tao Yuan's question made it difficult for her to answer.

She couldn't say it was because Lu Yanchen had raised a rebel flag in her previous life and forced her to commit suicide in the palace.

So, she chose to answer the question with a question.

"What kind of person is Lu Yanchen in your eyes?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

Tao Yuan thought for a moment and replied: "From the perspective of my subordinates, he has no second thoughts about Your Majesty. Your Majesty may not know something, but in fact, when Your Majesty just ascended the throne and did not take charge, Lu Yanchen wanted to hand over the Eagle Guard to him. You. It was your subordinate who stopped him."

Ye Qinghuai looked at Tao Yuan in surprise, and after a while, asked: "Why? Haven't the Eagle Guards been loyal to the emperor in all generations? Why do you want to stop him?"

Tao Yuan also looked at her openly and replied, "Yes. But I don't want Eagle Guard to become a toy in the hands of ignorant children."

Ye Qinghuai was startled for a moment, but instead of getting angry, he smiled and said, "Are you an ignorant child... So this was how I was in your eyes at that time."

Tao Yuan lowered his head and said, "But when I saw His Majesty raising the Long Yuan Sword outside Chengtian Gate, I realized how wrong I was."

Ye Qinghuai smiled wryly.

In a sense, Tao Yuan did not misjudge her. She was indeed a shallow and ignorant child in her previous life.

"Your Majesty, I would like to say something presumptuous. If Your Majesty can't even trust Lu Yanchen, then I'm afraid there's no one in the world that Your Majesty can trust. Moreover, the late emperor probably didn't want His Majesty to be so suspicious of Lu Yanchen." Tao A long way.

When he received Ye Qinghuai's secret order to spy on Lu Yanchen, he immediately felt worthless for Lu Yanchen.

His loyalty and heartfelt trust in the emperor felt unworthy.

He couldn't figure out what Lu Yanchen had done to make the emperor always so suspicious of him.

"Do you think that Lu Yanchen is so brave and loyal that anyone in the world can rebel and it is not his turn to rebel?" Ye Qinghuai said. She seemed to be asking Tao Yuan, but also seemed to be mumbling to herself. , "I used to feel the same way."

Ye Qinghuai smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "It sounds ridiculous. I once had a dream, a very real dream. In that dream, Lu Yanchen not only betrayed me, but he was also the leader of the rebel party. He led troops They entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony and forced me to commit suicide in the hall."

The emperor was afraid of his ministers because of a dream, which is a scene reserved for faint emperors in history books.

After Ye Qinghuai finished speaking, he looked at Tao Yuan with a bit of timidity in his eyes and said, "Don't you think it's ridiculous? But that dream is too real, and the pain is too real..."

As Ye Qinghuai spoke, the corners of her eyes twitched, but soon her expression returned to normal.

"Tao Yuan, I know what it means for Lu Yanchen to hand over the Eagle Guard to me. He has saved me in danger several times. You don't need to tell me, I also understand his loyalty. I am just afraid of what happened in the dream... I will make the same mistake again. I have to guard against it."

Ye Qinghuai and Tao Yuan have known each other for several months and have always had a superior-subordinate relationship. This is the first time that she has shown her emotions in front of Tao Yuan.

But what she said was ridiculous, like a foolish king who doubted loyalty for no reason.

However, to Ye Qinghuai's expectation, Tao Yuan did not show any confusion.

He put away his usual cynicism and looked at Ye Qinghuai very seriously. His peach blossom eyes that always held a smile no longer had a smile at this moment.

He looked at Ye Qinghuai as if he were seeing her for the first time.

After a while, he asked a question that Ye Qinghuai had never thought of.

"In your Majesty's dream, were there any subordinates?" Ye Qinghuai paused and said, "Yes."

"In Your Majesty's dream, was your subordinate named Tao Erlong?"

Ye Qinghuai suddenly remembered that when she and Tao Yuan met for the first time, a murder almost occurred because she blurted out the name "Tao Erlong". In the end, she had to use Li Baoquan as a shield to fool her.

Thinking about it now, Tao Yuan cared so much about the name "Tao Erlong" that Li Baoquan might have never heard of his name.

But Tao Yuan didn't bother much at that time, but cooperated very cooperatively to blur the matter.

However, that doesn't mean that he doesn't care about it.

Ye Qinghuai looked at his serious peach blossom eyes and said, "Yes."

After receiving her reply, Tao Yuan withdrew his gaze and said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty understands why your Majesty is so wary of Lu Yanchen. Your Majesty will keep an eye on him for your Majesty. If he does anything unusual, he will definitely be arrested." Capture it and hand it over to His Majesty."

Ye Qinghuai was a little surprised that Tao Yuan believed her words so easily, and his attitude towards monitoring Lu Yanchen immediately changed 180 degrees.

She couldn't help but squinted her eyes in confusion and asked, "Don't Commander Tao think that I am an ignorant child now?"

Tao Yuan returned to his usual careless demeanor, and said with a faint smile: "Lu Yanchen always said that if there is anyone in this world who can be the emperor of the great scene, it can only be His Majesty. I used to think that His brain was filled with paste. But now, my subordinates feel that what he said is right."
-
After leaving Huisheng Pawn, it was still early, so Ye Qinghuai decided to take a detour to Chongyifang Luzhai.

She was suddenly curious as to whether the small portrait of Lu Yanchen she painted was still hanging in his old house.If it was still there, she wanted to take it back to the palace.

Perhaps because of the war, the fireworks at Qinglong Temple were much more intense, and the entire Chongyifang was filled with people.

Lu Yanchen's house still looked so ordinary, with a simple lock hanging on the door.

Ye Qinghuai and Li Baoquan stood outside the house. Li Baoquan immediately took out the key and went forward to open the lock.

When they passed Wenxintang before coming, they went in and asked Uncle Hu for the key.

Uncle Hu said that after Lu Yanchen left, he moved all the books in Lu's house to Wenxintang and locked the yard. He never had time to take care of it. There might be some dust in the yard.

The narrow door slowly opened, and Ye Qinghuai stepped into the courtyard door with his clothes in hand.

The last time she came here was when Lu Yanchen's life and death were uncertain after the Chengtianmen incident.

Now in a blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed.

The furnishings in the courtyard have not changed, but the bookshelves in the west wing are empty, and there are no more valuable belongings in this small house.

Ye Qinghuai pushed open the door of the main room.

The scene that came into view made her expression change suddenly.

The red bamboo that had been placed on the main desk in the main hall was smashed to pieces on the ground.Mud mixed with fragments of clay pots were scattered all over the floor. The knots and leaves of the red bamboo seemed to have been severely stepped on, and the branches and leaves were torn into pieces.

The couplet behind the main case with the title "The breeze is selfless, elegant and self-loving, the bamboos are cultivated with knots and long to call you" was also torn to pieces and mixed with the soil on the ground, making a mess.
