Emperor Jin

Chapter 188 The Big Picture
There was a bang from the sky, and dark clouds covered it thickly like lacquer. Under the dusky sky, it was not much brighter than the prison.

The air in Shu was humid, and it was raining like a torrential rain. Li Huan seemed to be walking in the rain and fog, and the courtiers who followed him were all like drowned chickens.

Arriving at the third room in the backyard of the Yin'an Hall, I saw servants and maids in a mess. In the deep courtyard and nine pavilions, there seemed to be invisible ghosts walking. Although everyone shrank, no one dared to take a step further.

Assassin, or...

Li Huan's guesses were confused, he strode into the main hall, and saw his father lying upright on the hundred-year-old purple cypress tree in the middle.

He was still wearing the casual clothes he wore when discussing affairs, with a few strands of long beard hanging down, not losing the pleasing and handsome appearance of his youth.

"How did you do this? Could it be that you still let the old prince be so clothed?"

The valet was active in his heart, he had already changed his master in his heart, and when he saw the prince frowning, he yelled loudly.

Someone on the side shrank and cried: "You guys have already tried to change the old prince's clothes, but when he touched his body, his hands were festered and pus..."

Is it such a powerful poison?
Li Huan stepped forward to observe carefully, but he smelled a faint fragrance of flowers at the end of his nose.

He was about to sniff again, but there was no trace anymore. The wind blew his father's messy hair up slowly, and the grayness in it showed his aging.

Li Huan's eyes dimmed, and only now did he feel a star of sadness, he sighed lowly, and ordered everyone to go to the storeroom to get the thick rhinoceros skin to cover their hands, change their clothes again and put them in the coffin, that's all.

Then he turned around and went to Yulin Pavilion, which was the place where the stepmother who claimed to be a beauty in the south of the Yangtze River often stayed, and now it has been sealed off.

There were some corpses lying here and there, all of them were not cleaned up. From the trembling faces of the people, it can be seen that they were too frightened by the old prince's poison to dare to do anything again.

Li Huan leaned over to look at it for a while, but stretched out his hand, ignoring everyone's exclamation, and turned his second brother's body over.

The white staring eyes seemed to be still in shock, and the pampered hand had already put on the jade ring with the pattern of seven dragons playing that was only suitable for the prince's son.

At the moment before he died, he was still full of ambition...

Li Huan sneered slightly, but he didn't have the slightest bit of mercy at this moment—their mother and son were deliberately plotting to harm him, if they were still thinking about the family relationship, only a saint could do it.

There were no wounds on the body of the corpse, and it did not seem to be poisonous.

After searching carefully, he found a torn thread of clothing at the shoulder blade.

Picking up the rotten clothes with a knife, and slashing open the flesh regardless of the eyes of others, only then did he find a silver streamer deep in the soft fat.

"This silver needle...!"

Li Huan's pupils tightened, and he seemed to think of something in an instant. He couldn't believe it, but he was a little... happy? !

He stood up abruptly and looked around, but there was no sign of anyone outside.

"Jin Yuan... If you are here, show up!"

The hoarse voice is like seeing a guiding light when you are desperate, and seeing a safe and warm place after a long journey.

The earth was silent, except for a few birds that were drenched by the rain.

He sat down slumped, "She died a long time ago, I still remember...but what's going on here?"

*****
"His Majesty Jin Yuan has long passed away...it is impossible to go to Shu to kill people."

Ji Xin looked at the mountains and rivers thousands of miles away, playing with the last silver needle in her hand, "But what she left me is not only these..."

"The change of King Shu is good news for His Royal Highness Baojin. In order to wait for her allies to join hands, she must postpone it for a while. In this way, there may be some room for loopbacks."

Staring at the peerless beauty who was still sleeping on the bed, her voice became deeper and deeper.

"But no matter how hard I try to remedy it, it will be useless to the overall situation. Lord, are you really going to sleep for a long time... Your sister will be in danger!"

She thought of His Highness Bao Jin whose eyes were darkened by hatred, and sighed in her heart, but shook her head, "Your sister is stubborn, even Jiu Niu can't pull her back..."

After sighing, she put back on her robe and walked out of this elegant small building like a ghost.

Behind him, there are heavy curtains, falling layer by layer, isolating all hardships and pains, allowing the owner to sleep soundly.

"Perhaps, the Lord couldn't accept anything, so he escaped into eternal sleep."

She glanced back and murmured.
