Episode 5: Mei Lin sneaks into Wenhua Pavilion at night to meet the real murderer
Afterwards, Murong Jinghe sent Qingyan to fetch the token to confirm that what Meilin said was true. Sure enough, someone used a fake token to impersonate the Weibei Army. He decided to thoroughly investigate all the relevant personnel in the Military Department, and perhaps he could find evidence of the East Palace’s crime.
For this reason, Murong Jinghe guessed that the prince would definitely plan to abandon Zhang Yin in order to protect himself. Then he would have to wait for Zhang Yin to bite back and reap the benefits.
When Yin Luomei heard about Murong Jinghe’s assassination, she rushed back to Zhaojing from the border without stopping, and sent supplements in time. Qingyan lamented that Yin Luomei really cared about her own prince, but Yin Luomei did not take the initiative to go to Jingwang Mansion.
But believed that Murong Jinghe would definitely come to her in person. Jiangtu felt unfair for Yin Luomei, thinking that she gave gifts to Murong Jinghe every year, but did not get any response.
As soon as she finished speaking, Yin Luomei heard Murong Xuanlie’s gift coming from outside, and she felt a little disappointed. Although she said that she couldn’t bear to see King Jing fall into depravity, and as a comrade, she had the obligation to save Murong Jinghe.
In fact, she still had love for Murong Jinghe in her heart. That night, Yin Luomei recalled the past, with mixed feelings. Murong Jinghe suddenly came to Yin Luomei and asked her for red poria, claiming that he wanted to get drunk to relieve his sorrow.
Seeing Murong Jinghe become like this, forgetting his former ambitions, she felt so disappointed that she finally agreed to give him the red fuzi. However, just as Murong Jinghe left the general’s mansion, he heard that Meilin had gone to Wenhua Pavilion alone. He thought something was wrong and hurried over with Qingyan.
At this moment, Mei Lin sneaked into Wenhua Pavilion to look for Chi Fu Zi, and accidentally ran into Zhang Yin and the woman with patterns on her neck secretly conspiring. She was shocked that he was the leader of the Mo Vein organization and the real murderer of the massacre.
Wenhua Pavilion suddenly caught fire, and all the Mo Vein warriors wearing phosphorus clothes were buried in the sea of fire. Zhang Yin and the woman escaped from the secret passage, causing Mei Lin to be trapped. Fortunately, Murong Jinghe appeared in time, rescued Mei Lin and brought him back to the palace.
On the night of the emperor’s sleeping with her husband, Zi Gu was panicked and hid the dagger her brother had given her under her pillow, but was discovered by Emperor Murong Qian.
Murong Qian did not blame Zi Gu, knowing that she would never assassinate him, and said that he hoped for peace between the two countries, and would not force Zi Gu if she did not want to. He then cut Zi Gu’s finger and dripped the dagger on the chastity handkerchief, and sat at a table not far away to handle official business.
Because Mei Lin took the red tuckahoe and had hallucinations, he first hugged Murong Jinghe’s neck and bit it fiercely, then mistook him for Zhang Yin, the owner of the dark factory, and fell into a fantasy and missed his parents.
Murong Jinghe was moved by this, and used a pen as a flower to guide Mei Lin back to bed to rest. When Mei Lin woke up again, he was already conscious and found that the ink veins in his arm had disappeared, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
On the other hand, the doctor told Murong Jinghe that red tuckahoe could detoxify, but Meilin’s physique was different from that of ordinary people.
She must have eaten too much rotten food to make a living when she was wandering in her early years, which hurt her body. Therefore, red tuckahoe only relieved the poison in the black veins and bought her a year.
If she took red tuckahoe to detoxify again after a year, she would probably die immediately. Although there was little hope, Murong Jinghe ordered the doctor to prepare the antidote as soon as possible, and it all depended on Meilin’s personal luck.
Lord Wang hurried to report to Murong Xuanlie that all the assassins of Wenhua Pavilion were buried, and only Zhang Yin’s relics were found at the scene. I’m afraid he is also in danger. Yue Qin accompanied Murong Qian to play chess.
He was reluctant to leave Mei Lin, so he proposed to let the 100 beauties of Honglu Temple learn literature first, and then distribute them to the princes and nobles, and recommend himself as a teacher. Murong Qian agreed after thinking for a moment, and decided to open the Honglu Temple in three days, and arranged for Zi Gu to go and see it in person.
After Meilin woke up, she told Murong Jinghe that Zhang Yin did not die in the fire, but escaped from the secret passage. However, Meilin did not understand why Zhang Yin wanted to bury 100,000 Qingzhou people because of personal grudges.
Murong Jinghe was also very angry and heartbroken that the Weibei Army was innocently implicated because of Zhang Yin’s actions.
