[R18] Dali Temple.Qing (Shuangjie solves the case 1v1) – “Dali Temple. Qing (Shuangjie solves the case 1v1)” Chapter 66: Shocking changes [English]
byA few more absurdities.
The watchgong goes slowly through the wind and snow, the charcoal fire gradually goes out, and the clouds and rain begin to subside.By the time Su Moyi wiped off the sticky and white turbidity on her lower body, it was already five o’clock in the morning.
Lin Wanqing was so tired that she couldn’t even lift her eyelids. She seemed to see Su Moyi getting dressed in a trance.
A piece of plain white clothes swept across the bed, and she stretched out her hand to grab it, “You want to go out?”
Su Moyi was startled and then noticed that she was awake.he nodded, sat sideways on the couch, without pulling out the piece of clothes, and said softly: “Song Zhengxing has been arrested, and the news will spread throughout the government and the public tomorrow. There may be changes on all sides, and I should be by the emperor’s side at this time.”
“Yeah,” Lin Wanqing responded and let go of his clothes.
Su Moyi stood up and the jade hook on the tent swayed, making a crisp sound.
Suddenly she thought of something and stood up after he. She said a little uneasily: “I…I have something to tell you.”
“What?” Su Moyi turned around and looked at her and smiled, but her hands while arranging her clothes did not stop, “Do you regret signing the signature?”
“That, that’s not…” Lin Wanqing hesitated, holding Jin tightly with both hands, “I, I want to tell you…”
“Okay.”
A gentle kiss fell on her brow. Su Moyi leaned over and held her face, lightly stroking her still red eyes with his thumb, and said with a smile, “I’ll tell you what you have to say when I come back. I’ll tell you slowly in the next few decades.”
The storm is coming, and now is really not the best time to tell him about his family affairs.
Lin Wanqing hesitated for a moment and nodded.

As the morning sun warmed up, the snow that had accumulated during the night melted away, leaving only strings of sharp ice on the eaves, like handles of light lurking in the dark.
Everything went as Su Moyi expected, and the news of Song Zhengxing’s arrest spread throughout Shengjing the next day.It is said that those courtiers who usually rely on their old age to wait for their orders before dawn for the first time are afraid of missing the hot inside story and causing harm to themselves.
Su Moyi stayed in the palace for three days. During this period, she was only brought out with a handwritten letter, telling her to eat well and not to cause trouble. He could not get out of the palace now, and he could not go to Jingzhao Mansion Prison to arrest people.
Lin Wanqing rolled her eyes, with disdain on her face but sweetness in her heart.
The situation outside is treacherous, but inside Dali Temple, it still looks peaceful and peaceful.
Lin Wanqing had nothing to do every day, playing with flowers and playing with the dog. From time to time, he took Si Jiao for a walk in his yard, creating some opportunities for him and Xiaobai on the pretense of charity.
In the evening of this day, after having dinner, she took the jailer and Xiaobai for a walk in Dali Temple.
The jailer followed Xiaobai, and Lin Wanqing was dragged away by the jailer. One person and two dogs unknowingly walked to the prison where suspects were detained in Dali Temple, and happened to encounter a group of government officials busy back and forth.
“What are you doing?” Lin Wanqing walked over and caught a jailer and asked.
The man knew Lin Wanqing, bowed his hands and said, “The emperor ordered Song Zhongshu to be imprisoned in Dali Temple Prison pending trial, so we have to make some preparations in advance.”
Lin Wanqing’s heart trembled and she quickly asked, “When will you come?”
The jailer thought for a moment and said, “Tomorrow morning.”
After saying this, he bowed his hands and started to open again.
After suddenly receiving such news, on the way back, Lin Wanqing felt as if she was floating in the clouds.
If Song Zhengxing goes to Dali Temple Prison, it means that she will finally be able to get to the bottom of the Xiao family case.
Then when Su Moyi comes back, she can finally let go of her worries and tell everything truthfully.
As I thought about it, my steps became brisk.
It was getting dark, and after leaving office, Dali Temple was quite deserted.The red plum on the wall of the small courtyard is like a fire, slanting on the gray wall. It is bright and lush, making the originally dark courtyard a bit brighter.
“Aunt…Lin Lushi,” the green figure under the gray wall smiled at Lin Wanqing and shook the food box in her hand, “I’m here to bring some food to Lin Lushi.”
The oil lamp in the room was lit, and Lin Wanqing found two braziers as usual and placed them on both sides of the couch, burning brightly.
Lai Luo took out the lychee soup from the food box and handed it to Lin Wanqing.
She couldn’t help but be surprised, “It’s freezing here. Where did you find the lychees?”
Lai Luo smiled and said casually: “This is not a real lychee. It is made of ebony plum, cinnamon, ginger and cloves. It tastes like lychee.”
“Can you still do this?” Lin Wanqing was curious and went over to take a sniff. It really smelled like lychee.
Lai Luo took a ladle from the food box and handed it to her, “Lin Lushi, try it.”
Lin Wanqing took it and said, “You don’t have to call me Lin Lushi when there’s no one around.”
After saying that, he was not polite. He took a sip and then thought of something. He held the bowl and asked, “How did you know that I like to eat lychees? I seem to…”
She thought for a moment and nodded in confirmation, “I didn’t tell you.”
A flash of strange color flashed through Lai Luo’s green eyes, but it was quickly covered up by her smile.She plucked the wick of the oil lamp and said, “The people in the prince’s house told me.”
“Shizi’s Mansion?” Lin Wanqing asked.
“Yes,” Lai Luo responded, “It was probably the prince’s order to go down.”
“Oh…” The hand holding the porcelain bowl shook, and Lin Wanqing lowered her head to block her cheeks from burning unconsciously.
Lai Luo saw everything in his eyes, his eyes darkened for a moment.After a moment, she suddenly said: “There is something that I didn’t explain to the girl.”
“Huh?” Lin Wanqing raised her head and looked at her in confusion.
“I was not sold to the Southland, I escaped on my own.” Lai looked at Lin Wanqing steadily, with fire in his green eyes.
“My father was originally a general guarding the border, but he was framed by a traitor because of a conspiracy in the court. When I was three years old, my family was ruined. In order to survive, I fled with my father’s old friend. But the journey was difficult, and my father’s old friend died of illness on the way, so I fled to the Southland.”
Lin Wanqing was startled when he heard this, and asked after a while, “Then you are so willing to wander in a foreign land and remain anonymous. Have you never thought about redressing your parents’ grievances?”
Lai Luo chuckled, with self-mockery in her tone, “I’ve thought about it,” she said.
“I used to think that I couldn’t sleep at night and couldn’t eat. For this reason, I was so obsessed that I ended up in jail. If I hadn’t met the girl, maybe my life would have been wasted, forever trapped in hatred and unable to extricate myself.”
Lin Wanqing was stunned, perhaps because he was surprised that the two people had similar life experiences, and he didn’t know how to answer the question for a while.
Lai Luo looked at her and smiled calmly, filled up the empty bowl, and said to himself: “It’s the same thing in the world, step forward to swallow the knife, step back to swallow the lie. I have been obsessed with it for the past ten years, but I don’t know that those relatives who have died long ago may not want to see me like this.”
Lin Wanqing’s heart suddenly felt empty, and she felt that the soup she had just turned into sharp knives, cutting all the way from her throat, causing her chest to ache.
“But…” She calmed down and murmured: “This may have nothing to do with hatred, but more to seek justice.”
“Justice?” Lailuo laughed suddenly, “Everyone in the world comes and goes for profit. If there is justice, why did my parents die in vain?”
Lin Wanqing didn’t say anything. After a long silence, he just asked, “What are your plans for the future?”
“The world is difficult and justice is hard to find. Rather than flying into a flame, it is better to be wise and protect yourself.” Lai Luo looked a little more relaxed when he said this, “I want to find a place where the four seasons are like spring, where I can have three meals a day, two pieces of colorful clothes, and a handful of pocket money.”
“Do you want to come along?” she asked.
“Ah, ah?” When Lin Wanqing was suddenly asked this question, she was at a loss for words and was so stunned that she didn’t know how to answer.
Want to stay out of the world?
In the past years, she had imagined such a peaceful and comfortable life.
But people are always different, she thought.
The word justice may be a burden to Lailuo, but to her, it is a creed that cannot be abandoned.
The night was silent, and the light in the house was as bright as a bean.
In the glow of the fire, she smiled lightly and shook her head.
It was night, and Lai Luo did not return to the prince’s mansion.The two of them crowded on the same couch and covered themselves with a brocade quilt.
In the past twenty years, this was the first time that Lin Wanqing had been so close to someone other than Su Moyi.
The two of them rested their hands on their bellies and crossed their feet, just like the little sisters she once envied and others had.
“When you were disguising yourself as a man in the academy, didn’t you go to the toilet with others?” Lai Luo asked, his curiosity palpable.
“Yes!” Lin Wanqing said with a smile: “I have been bumped into when going to the toilet and bathing, but fortunately I am smart and can avoid danger every time.”
“Hey!” Lai Luo was secretly excited. He patted Lin Wanqing’s arm and asked, “Then…have you seen that part of a man?”
Lin Wanqing was stunned for a moment when asked, but after a moment she smiled to herself, “Of course!” She said, “There’s more than one.”
“Really?” Upon hearing this, Lai Luo turned over and lay on the side and asked, “How is it? How long? Is it thick?”
“…” Lin Wanqing choked and thought: “It depends on the person. The difference in talent is about the size of a thumb…”
“What about the gifted ones?”
“…” Lin Wanqing inevitably thought of Su Moyi. Fortunately, there were no lights in the room, so Lai Luo couldn’t see her expression clearly.
“Those with excellent talents…are about, about as thick as a forearm…”
“Oh my god!” Lai Luo jumped up and the whole bed creaked, “How can I eat it! This is too scary!”
“…” However, Lin Wanqing, who had experienced hundreds of battles and had eaten countless times, just silently covered his head with the quilt.
The next day, Lin Wanqing was awakened by the high sun.
She stood up and rubbed her groggy head, and saw that the bed beside her was empty.I think it was because Lai Luo went back to the Prince’s Mansion first and didn’t call her.
Last night I had a lively chat with Lai Luo, but I didn’t know when I fell asleep.She has always been a light sleeper, and if she hadn’t been extremely tired, she would never have slept until midnight.
She sat and regained consciousness for a while, and suddenly remembered that Song Zhengxing was going to be sent to Dali Temple Prison early this morning.
She wanted to sneak into the prison and have a look before the yamen officer took office.So he quickly got up, packed his clothes, took his notebook and pen, and went straight to the prison.
On a winter morning, there was a thin layer of frost on the road.Although it didn’t snow, it was extremely cold.The cold wind blew straight into people’s clothes, causing her to tighten her robe.
“Lin Lushi,” a familiar voice came from behind.
Lin Wanqing turned around and saw Ye Qing, with a slightly stern look on his face, walking over with a few people in guard uniforms.
She had a premonition that something was wrong, so she hesitated for a while and asked, “Is…what happened?”
“Yes,” Ye Qing said, “But fortunately, my lord has ordered people to block the news, so it is harmless to the overall situation.”
“News?” Lin Wanqing’s heart suddenly became empty, and she muttered: “What news?”
Ye Qing paused and said, “Song Zhengxing is dead.”
