Episode 3: Murong Xuanlie personally interrogates Meilin

Since Murong Jinghe returned from Qingzhou, he has been increasingly depressed and has been drinking to drown his sorrows.

Even though Murong Xuanlie hated his brother, he still acted like a friendly brother, often visiting Jingwang Mansion to show concern and pretending to persuade him to treat his leg disease.

The two seemed to be talking about the past, but in fact they were testing each other. Murong Jinghe had already guessed that the fire in Qingzhou must have something to do with the prince.

The mastermind behind the scenes knew that the Weibei Army had strict military discipline and would not kill civilians, so he instigated the people of Qingzhou to besiege the military camp. Deputy General Yang Donghu was burned alive to protect Murong Jinghe, and Murong Jinghe even had his legs broken.

So when he took Qingyan to the secret room to worship the spirits of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives, he secretly vowed that he would never be merciful this time.

Meilin looked at the black veins on her arm, thought about the explanation of the owner of the dark factory, and felt that there was still a mystery behind the Qingzhou fire, and was entangled in whether to assassinate.

Princess Zi Gu came to find Meilin, and her optimistic and cheerful personality relieved Meilin’s inner sorrow and allowed her to find the real answer.

On the other side, when Prince Yue Qin of Xiyan heard that his sister was coming to Beijing, he could not wait to visit her.

As a result, he saw Mei Lin passing by and hurriedly chased after her. Unfortunately, she was nowhere to be seen, only the Qingzhou knot hanging on her body. Yue Qin was the least favored prince of Xiyan.

During the war, Mei Lin helped him and he secretly fell in love with her. Later, when Xiyan was defeated, he took the initiative to volunteer to go to Dayan as a hostage for his sister and mother. Unexpectedly, he met Mei Lin again in Zhaojing, although they only met once.

Afterwards, Yue Qin went to see his sister Zi Gu and said that he would wait until she was fully adapted to life here before leaving Dayan. In fact, Princess Zi Gu was a little nervous and curious about her future husband.

She knew that as a princess, she could not dominate her fate and love, so she could only be forced to accept the fact of marrying the Emperor of Dayan. Similarly, Yue Qin regretted that she was not destined to be with Mei Lin.

The marriage banquet was held as scheduled, and Princess Zi Gu was conferred the title of Yan Fei and lived in Fanghua Palace. Murong Qian gave beauties to various princes and nobles. In order to find out the truth, Murong Xuanlie deliberately asked for Mei Lin in front of everyone.

Murong Jinghe was worried that his elder brother would find out Mei Lin’s identity, so he stood up from the wheelchair in a hurry to show that he liked Mei Lin and directly pulled her into his arms.

In this way, before taking action, Mei Lin whispered to Murong Jinghe for help, betting that he was not the real murderer of the Qingzhou fire, and that he wanted to overturn the case, and used the fake token as bait to seek cooperation.

Before Murong Jinghe could react, Mei Lin did not hesitate to stab the hairpin into Murong Jinghe’s chest. Because Murong Jinghe was wearing a gold silk soft armor, he was only slightly injured and was not seriously injured.

Murong Qian was very happy to see his son stand up again, but Murong Xuanlie was as if he was facing a great enemy. Murong Jinghe deliberately showed weakness, hoping that his elder brother would be responsible for the trial of Mei Lin’s assassination.

As a result, Murong Xuanlie found out that Mei Lin was actually a Mo Cultivation assassin, and was greatly shocked. He suspected that he was either Zhang Yin’s man or had a relationship with his younger brother.

However, the Mo Cultivation Soldier was wiped out ten years ago, and there is no evidence at all. Murong Jinghe is sure that Zhang Yin values ​​profit over loyalty, and can be a seemingly obedient loyal dog, but can also become a vicious dog that bites its master to death after Murong Xuanlie abandons him.

Murong Jinghe personally came to the prison, and Murong Xuanlie tried to force Mei Lin to let his brother compromise, but the other party did not respond at all, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Afterwards, Murong Jinghe found Zhang Yin alone and asked him about some topics with hidden meanings, which made Zhang Yin understand that the prince would abandon him in times of crisis.

Meilin was tortured and imprisoned in a dark prison, as if she had lost hope of living, until she saw the flowers growing between the cracks in the rocks, and she forced herself to crawl over to protect them, telling herself that she could not die.

Seeing this scene, Murong Jinghe was touched by Meilin’s will to survive as an orphan in Qingzhou, and ordered Qingyan to secretly protect her life to prevent Zhang Yin from killing her.
