They all say I'm a tyrant

The inner hall of Changle Palace.

You You was carried down by Gao Yong, and all irrelevant people retreated, leaving only You Yan and Lin Ce, the secret guard who had something important to report, and Chi Che who was tied up and knelt in front of them.

The corners of You Yan's eyes trembled, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Lin Ce, and found that he had similar puzzlement and seriousness on his face, so he calmed down and said, "What do you mean?"

The secret guard clasped his fists and replied: "General, my subordinates were ordered by you last night to guard around the Changle Palace in secret to avoid any accidents. There was nothing wrong all night until ten o'clock in the morning when I saw this man fall from the palace wall. If he came in, his traces were suspicious, so he took him down, but he was afraid of disturbing the rest of the general and His Majesty, so he delayed the report until now."

You Yan looked complicated, stared at Chi Che for a while, and then slowly said: "Untie him first."

The dark guard hesitated a little: "General, this man is highly skilled in martial arts, if..."

"It's okay," Lin Ce said calmly, "He has been with me for nearly ten years. I want to hear what kind of explanation he will give me."

Now that this is the case, the dark guard is not going to disobey the sacred order, he stepped forward to untie the rope for Chi Che, and took a few steps back, but his eyes were fixed on Chi Che all the time, in case he made any moves in time reaction.

Compared with the cautiousness of the hidden guard, the other two were much more indifferent. You Yan even took the time to tuck up the quilt for Lin Ce who was on the couch, and then got up and walked in front of Chi Che: "The guard Chi can explain now. gone."

Although Chi Che was untied, he still knelt on the ground, lowered his head and looked at the ground, wondering what he was thinking.

You Yan sighed lowly, and slowly squatted down: "Guard Chi, you know how His Majesty trusts you. But, you always have to give an explanation for us to distinguish."

"It is precisely because His Majesty trusts His Majesty that His Majesty feels deeply guilty and cannot justify it." Chi Che raised his head slowly and landed on You Yan's face, with an incomprehensible emotion flashing in his eyes, "Everything is just like Your Majesty's. As the general saw."

You Yan turned his head and glanced at the couch, noticing that Lin Ce's face had darkened, he couldn't help but frowned again: "All we saw was that you left the palace when you were supposed to be on duty, and your whereabouts were strange." Speaking of this, he shook his head slightly, "Since you don't want to make excuses, you might as well tell us the truth, where did you go and what did you do when you secretly left the imperial city last night?"

"Go to see the adults who asked to see the Holy One during the day." Chi Che lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a long while, he raised his head and looked into You Yan's eyes, "As for what to do, General You can't Can't guess."

You Yan met his reddish eyes, couldn't help being startled, and asked in a low voice: "Then those people who came to face the saint yesterday were also ordered by you?"

"Yes," Chi Che took a deep breath, and said slowly, "Your Majesty's poison was also given by me. Changle Palace is strictly guarded these days, and we personal guards are not allowed to enter the palace. I don't dare to confirm the poison. I don’t dare to confirm whether the things that belonged to His Majesty entered His Majesty’s mouth. So I deliberately leaked the news to those lords, only saying that I suspected that His Majesty had been killed by Gao Yong, so I stayed in court without seeing anyone. minister."

Speaking of this, he raised his lips upwards, evoking a smile that was almost mocking. It was the first time You Yan saw such an expression on his face. Before he recovered, he heard Chi Che continue to say : "Those adults didn't live up to my expectations, but I didn't expect the princess to stand up at this time? Those idiots didn't find anything, and they lost their souls. But the more this is the case, the more I will I felt suspicious, so I thought about going to them to ask them carefully overnight."

When Chi Che said this, he squinted his eyes and looked at You Yan: "But I didn't expect you to come back." He glanced at the bed and sighed softly, not knowing whether it was regret or other emotions. Slowly said, "Your Majesty has not been poisoned." He said with a smile, "If I lose a game, I am willing to admit defeat."

You Yan squatted opposite Chi Che, looking at Chi Che without blinking. Today's Chi Che was really beyond his expectation. He had never seen so many expressions on Chi Che's face, and never I have never heard him say so many words, and I didn't know what to say for a while.

You Yan stared at him for a while, then asked in a low voice: "You also did what happened in the Southwest?" He stood up while speaking, and looked down at Chi Che, "Collude with foreign enemies, frame my comrades, Don't care about the people in the southwest, let alone my country and society in the Southern Wei Dynasty?" You Yan shook his head slightly as he spoke, "I don't understand, why are you doing this?"

"What the general said is serious. I just want to find a helping hand. Otherwise, I am your opponent." Chi Che said indifferently, "As for the others, they are all sacrifices destined to become a big event. That's all."

"Sacrifice?" You Yan grabbed Chi Che's collar, "You and Tao Jiang used to be the guards of the Han Palace, and they were also considered to be in the same robe. He never did evil to you, so why are you here?" Speaking of Tao Jiang, his throat choked, "The Holy One never treated you harshly."

"I fought in the same robe with Tao Jiang. Because he protected you in the northwest, he became a famous general. He fought bloody battles on the battlefield, made great achievements, and was admired by others. But I can only stay in this capital city and stay with you. Although he is the leader of the imperial guards, in the eyes of the world, he is nothing more than a running dog." He said, and suddenly laughed, "In your eyes, these are naturally not considered harsh treatment. I also admit that His Majesty really treated me well. .It's just that people will always change, and what I want is far more than that."

You Yan turned his head and took a look, Lin Ce on the couch closed his eyes slightly, he didn't know what he was thinking, he slowly let go of Chi Che's collar: "Well, since you have admitted it, then you will Explain everything clearly. When did your plan start, who was the accomplice, whether you were responsible for the Li Bu case, and when did you poison His Majesty? countries unite."

He flicked his sleeves and took a few steps back: "One by one, it's better to explain clearly today."

Chi Che shook his head lightly, and smiled at You Yan: "The matter has come to this point, what else can I say. I did it all by myself, and the only accomplice is the Lord Fan. There is no good end. I know that I am guilty of punishing the nine clans, but the Holy One knows that I have no father or mother, let alone relatives and friends. Counting up and down, it is only my life."

As he spoke, he turned to Lin Ce who was on the couch: "Winner and loser, now that I have reached this point, I no longer naively think that I can save my life. Rather than being almost humiliated to death by you, I might as well do it myself." .”

All the changes happened in an instant. Chi Che, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly stood up. Before everyone recovered, he stabbed a dagger into his heart, and blood spattered out. He fell to the ground, breathless.

You Yan looked at the blood on the front of his clothes in disbelief, gently pushed away the hidden guards subconsciously blocking him, walked up to Chi Che step by step, stretched out his fingers and gently sniffed his breath.

Lin Ce was startled by the sudden change on the couch, sat up straight, looked at You Yan, and said in a low voice: "How?"

You Yan closed his eyes slightly, and shook his head lightly: "According to his ability, it is impossible for him to miss a person's life with one blow."

The hidden guard at the side also came back to his senses, and cupped his hands towards You Yan: "It's my subordinate's dereliction of duty."

"He wants to die, you can't stop him." You Yan sighed softly, turned his head to look at Lin Ce, "The person behind the scenes is not him, he may know, so his words sound very reasonable But if you think about it carefully, it is full of loopholes. I was just a little skeptical, but now..." You Yan lowered his head and glanced at the corpse on the ground. Thinking that there is no proof when a person dies, so that the person behind the scenes can be protected.”

Lin Ce leaned back on the couch, closed his eyes slightly, and let out a long sigh: "He has been with me for more than ten years, and I never thought that it would end like this in the end." The corpse glanced at it, with a bit of unbearable expression on its face, "But I don't know who is the person he wants to protect at the risk of his life?"

"The truth will be revealed soon." You Yan stopped looking at the corpse on the ground, walked slowly to the case, and poured himself a cup of hot tea, "The only person who can make him meet late at night is probably that person. He What I said just now, if it is all replaced by the person behind the scenes, it is [-]% true. The person took the opportunity to poison you, but he didn't know whether you were poisoned or not, so he sent a few people to come to test. As for me He probably didn't know about the news of returning to the capital."

He took a sip of tea and continued: "At first, I wanted to send someone to investigate again, but I was afraid that it would startle the snake. Now that this is the case, it's better to push the boat along. If that person isn't going around to investigate your situation, then we will Tell him. He has been poisoned and has been holding back all the time because he is afraid that you will be fine. He can't hit him with one blow, so he has exposed his identity for no reason. He has planned every step of the way until now, in order to kill you before he plots, then We let him think that he has succeeded, and see what other tricks he has."

Lin Ce nodded lightly on the couch: "That's fine." He glanced at the hidden guard at the side, and said in a low voice: "Search his body to see if there are any clues, and then send someone to Go search out his place."

"Yes."

The hidden guard carefully turned over Chi Che's body, only to find that this man was almost penniless, and the dagger stuck in his heart was the most valuable thing on his body.The dark guard searched his whole body, and finally found a blood-stained brocade pouch in his chest. He was holding this brocade pouch in the position of his heart. The dagger just pierced through the brocade pouch and stuck into his chest. heart.

You Yan took the kit, the blood on it stained his fingers, You Yan retracted his hands, and slowly opened the kit, only to find that there was only a piece of paper that had been soaked in blood and was extremely torn.

You Yan carefully spread out the paper roll, revealing the contents inside. Although the whole paper was scattered and covered in blood, you could still vaguely see the clear handwriting on it.

Lin Ce couldn't help asking on the couch, "What is written in the letter?"

"It's not a letter, it's a word, or a word." You Yan pursed his lips tightly, his throat trembled a few times, and read slowly, "Long lovesickness, long lovesickness. If you ask how long the lovesickness is, Unless we meet."

The author has something to say:

The words at the end come from Yan Jidao's "Long Lovesickness"
