Dodo's spirits were lifted as she continued, "Column numbers and word numbers!" She casually praised, "Smart!" She then immersed herself in the search and found the only corresponding word. Seeing that it was the word "Gu", she muttered, "Sure enough, there's something special about it." This time, she did not instruct Chu Menglin and wrote on the paper herself. She sighed, "This book has been with me for more than ten years, but I've never been able to figure out the trick." Chu Menglin laughed, "You haven't solved the riddle of the blueprint before. If you could figure it out perfectly, then you'd be a god."
Dodo ignored him and flipped through the third line. This time, it was the word "Rong". The two words seemed to be connected, but when she thought about it, she could not find the connection. She could not help but fall into deep thought. Chu Menglin advised, "The culture of the Central Plains is broad and profound. Many words often have ambiguous meanings. If you think about each word carefully, I'm afraid there will be some interference. Why don't you wait until you've finished writing and then consider the whole thing?" Dodo grunted in agreement and flipped through the book.
Chu Menglin originally found it hard not to speak for even a moment, but this time, in order to please Dodo, he was unusually well-behaved. He sat quietly on the side and watched without making a sound. Only a few words gradually formed on the paper. Only the last row was made up of seven completely independent numbers. It was impossible to follow the page numbers and word numbers.
Dodo said unhappily, "Could it be that you were in too much of a hurry and forgot to divide it into sections?" Chu Menglin said, "You're wrongly accusing me again. In all honesty, even if I was in a hurry, there's no reason for me to leave out a single line. Anyway, the general structure is already formed. You can read it from beginning to end. Maybe you'll be able to deduce the last word naturally. Even if you can't, a difference of one word won't make a huge difference. "Dodo said," That's the only way. Forget it, it's my fault. I shouldn't have recklessly relied on others. This kind of important matter should be written personally. "Chu Menglin bit his lip. He wanted to argue but swallowed his words.

After Shen Shiyun had fainted on the path, Li Yijie had immediately carried her and rushed back to the Snow Song Palace. He had been watching over her by her bedside the entire time and had never left her side. Luo Jin tried to chase him away several times, but he refused to leave. He didn't want to alarm the Emperor, so he didn't dare to look for the Imperial Physician of the Inner Palace to treat him. The doctor placed his two stubby fingers on Shen Shiyun's pulse. His face was gloomy and uncertain. Sometimes he raised his eyebrows and sometimes he took a deep breath. Li Yijie was impatient and urged, "Doctor, how is Yun 'er?"
The doctor rolled his eyes at him and turned to Luo Jin to ask, "Miss Jin, who is this wild boy? How could he not know the rules? How could he dare to call Niangniang by her name? "Luo Jin laughed and said," His ancestors were farmers in the countryside, he hasn't seen much of the world, you can't blame him. Right now he's one of the performers in the opera troupe. He entered the palace to act as a clown to liven things up. In the end, his grimace was so ugly that Niangniang fainted because of him. "
Li Yijie didn't have time to bicker with her. He stared at the doctor with burning eyes and asked, "How is Yun 'er?" The doctor snorted, put away his medicine bag and stood up, saying, "Miss Jin, let's talk outside the room."
Li Yijie's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. In the past, whenever he needed to avoid a patient, he would inform them of bad news and persuade them to prepare for their funeral. Could it be that Yun 'er's illness was really incurable? Hastily he pulled the doctor and pleaded, "What kind of illness does Yun 'er have? You … you have a miraculous hand, you can definitely cure her!" The doctor snorted coldly and said, "You're really a country boy, a woman's secret illness. What's so good about a man like you?"
Li Yijie was startled again and thought, "Secret illness? When Yun 'er was in Agarwood Courtyard, she was also clean and honest. How could … that … that's impossible … "But he felt that he knew too little about Shen Shiyun. She seemed to have never really opened her heart to him. He saw Luo Jin pulling the doctor out of the room in a hurry. Li Yijie took several steps forward, but he couldn't even see their backs. He mocked himself, "They really are guarding against me like I'm a thief."
If he insisted on chasing after them, he could have used his lightness kungfu to follow closely behind. But he really couldn't let go of Shen Shiyun, so he slowly walked back to the bedside. He looked at her beautiful face, but her face was as wan and sallow as a sheet of white paper. He raised his hand to gently stroke her face, but because of the difference in status between them, he didn't dare to. He lowered his palm and held her ice-cold little hand. He lowered his head and pressed his forehead against her fingertips. It seemed that this was the only time he could find the feelings of the past when they were alone.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but suddenly he felt her fingers tremble slightly. Then she suddenly pulled her hand out of his palm. Li Yijie was pleasantly surprised. He called out, "Yun 'er, you're awake? Just now you suddenly fainted, you scared me to death. How do you feel now? Do you feel a lot better? " Shen Shiyun supported herself on the bed and sat up. She leaned her back against the wall and coldly said, "Bengong won't die. Li … you are still here … where is that witch? Go find Hu Wei and ask him questions. "
Li Yijie didn't know what kind of feeling he had when he heard that she didn't forget her hatred even though she had just woken up. Suppressing the sadness in his heart, he said, "I don't know. You are already like this, how can I have the leisure to care about other people?"
"Humph," Shen Shiyun snorted. If Li Yijie ignored Chu Menglin because of her, it would be reasonable. She heard Li Yijie say, "Since you are the one who started this matter, I also have something to advise you. Menglin's nature is not that evil, but because of the influence of her environment, she was instigated by her father when she was little and made some unintentional mistakes. As long as you guide her well, she can still walk on the right path. Why must you completely exterminate her? You … can't you just let her go? "
With a cold laugh Shen Shiyun said, "I let her go? Who is going to let me go? " People who have accumulated grievances would usually ask this kind of question, and it would always leave the person trying to persuade them speechless. Li Yijie was no exception. He only said a few words of advice, "You must be a bit more open-minded," and then said, "You once said that if you stop killing by killing, there will be no end to it. I think you have a profound sense of righteousness, you even tried your best to resolve the deep-seated enmity between the Manchus and the Han Dynasty. But how come when the time comes, even though you have resolved the national enmity, you still can't forget the family enmity? Aren't words and deeds inconsistent? "
Shen Shiyun said, "You have also told Bengong that killing a devil head can save millions of common people, it is a good deed for the benefit of the people for a thousand years. Bengong wants to dismember Chu Menglin into ten thousand pieces, turning her bones and flesh into mud, only then can I vent the hatred in my heart. " Hearing this, Li Yijie felt a burst of coldness rise from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. His whole body was cold. With great difficulty, he said, "Yuner, you … Menglin is not completely incurable. She was once our comrade in the same boat through thick and thin. You have the heart to be so ruthless to her … When did you become so insidious and vicious? You are simply so cruel that it terrifies me! "
Shen Shiyun sneered and said, "Minister Li, thank you very much for your evaluation. You don't understand anything, yet you always fantasize about being a savior? Do you know, that day in Prince's Mansion of Chang 'an, as soon as Chu Menglin heard my identity, she waited until the five of us went our separate ways before turning back to sneak in to assassinate me that very night. If His Majesty was not present and saved me by a freak combination of factors, how could I still be alive to listen to your condemnation today? Today, she still hasn't given up on her evil intentions and actually dares to openly intrude into the Imperial Palace to assassinate me. Bengong is not so noble as to give her a slap on the left side of my face. Is it because she wants to kill me that I should throw away my weapons and take off my armor, stripping naked and waiting for her to make her move? It was unintentional for her to want to harm me, but if I want to live, then I am insidious and vicious? This is your argument. Don't tell me that Bengong's life deserves to be lower than hers? Humph, even someone like Jiang Liechen knows to keep a respectful distance from me. Who does she think she is? "
Li Yijie said fearfully, "No, Yuner, I didn't mean it that way. I didn't know before that there was such a twist in the middle …"
Shen Shiyun interrupted, "Now that you know, either she dies or I die. Are you willing to help Bengong kill her?" Li Yijie said, "This …" Thinking that he had to kill Chu Menglin with his own hands, he knew he couldn't bear to do it. He was also a man of honor, he couldn't agree to do something against his will.
Shen Shiyun waved her hand and sneered, "Forget it, Bengong won't force you to betray your friends. You don't have to help me, but you absolutely can't interfere with my grand plan. Otherwise, no matter who you are, you will be killed without exception. "
Li Yijie tilted her head back. He was worried that she would hurt her head, so he stretched out his hand to shield her. Suddenly, his hand missed and he felt even more ashamed. Just as he was about to ignore her, the palace door suddenly opened with a loud bang. Luo Jin and Hu Wei walked in side by side. As soon as Hu Wei saw him, he still felt timid and hid behind Luo Jin.
Li Yijie recognized them. When he saw them, he had never been as happy as he was now. He was eagerly waiting for someone to interrupt this awkward moment. He stepped forward and asked, "Miss Luo Jin, what did the doctor say? Yuner, she … why did she suddenly faint? Does this happen often? "Luo Jin laughed and said," Have you ever seen a normal person who often faints when they have nothing to do? That's absurd! If you want to say that Niangniang is not a normal person, but an immortal, who has ever heard of an immortal who faints all day long? Could it be the drunken immortal? "
Li Yijie forced a smile and said, "I won't bicker with you. In any case, I can't win against you. Just tell me what the doctor said." Luo Jin lowered her eyebrows, her expression became gloomy and uncertain. She sighed and said, "It's a woman's secret illness. Why does a stinky man like you care so much?" Li Yijie didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was so anxious that he wanted to stomp his feet. Luo Jin was indeed repeating the doctor's words, but what she said was not the main topic. He called out, "Don't make trouble! Hurry up and tell me! "
Shen Shiyun cast a sidelong glance and coldly said, "Speak." Luo Jin glared at Li Yijie and loudly said, "Li Yijie, you still have the face to ask? Niangniang became like this, isn't it all because of you? "Li Yijie was alarmed," How can you say it's because of me? "Luo Jin said," You're still pretending to be crazy! Could it be that I said something wrong? If you didn't pretend to be a hero, running like a headless fly in front of us, Niangniang would have accidentally tripped and affected the fetus while chasing after you! "
Hearing this, Shen Shiyun and Li Yijie were greatly alarmed. "What?" they asked together. Li Yijie's shock was no small matter. "So you're saying …" he said, "She … she is pregnant …" "Nonsense," Luo Jin said, "If she isn't pregnant, how can she affect the fetus? Move it for me to see!" This time Li Yijie's blow was even heavier than when he heard that she was going to marry into the Palace. He could only swallow the bitter water into his stomach. He did his best to suppress the sour feeling in his chest. "Is … is it His Majesty's …?" he asked. "Nonsense," Luo Jin said, "Otherwise, is it yours?"
With a bitter smile Li Yijie said, "You are deliberately making life difficult for me …" His smile was getting more and more bitter, gradually it was hard to tell whether he was crying or laughing. "What?" Luo Jin said, "You're not convinced? Remember this well, as long as you pester Consort Yun niangniang for one day, every time I see you, I will scold you! I have something to say to Niangniang, get out! "
Li Yijie forced a laugh and said, "What's the matter? You … you said it yourself. We are so familiar with each other, why are you treating me like an outsider?" Normally, he would never be able to say such shameless words. But right now, the more he was distracted, the more he wanted to fabricate nonsense to cover up his emotions. If he was really scolded and left with his tail between his legs, he would never be able to raise his head again when he saw Shen Shiyun.
Luo Jin's gaze was like a knife piercing his face. Crossing her arms, she sneered and said, "I want to give Niangniang some pointers on how to rest and recuperate during the fetus stabilizing period, as well as the important points of daily eating and living. Are you that interested? Don't worry, you won't be able to give birth. In the future, you won't need to pass this hurdle, so you don't need to prepare early. "
Listening to Luo Jin's unceasing sarcastic remarks about Li Yijie, Hu Wei had long been unable to restrain himself from laughing. He almost wanted to hurt her. At this moment, he snorted and said with a smile, "I say, Luo Jin, how come I didn't know you had rich experience in raising children? How many children are you the mother of? "
