Marrying Salted Fish

46

The eunuch opened his eyes sleepily and looked at Lin Qingyu blankly: "Did I dream about an immortal...?"

Lin Qingyu's mind went blank for a moment, and he instinctively said the five words he had silently repeated countless times in his mind: "Do you look at the quadrant for the symbol?"

The eunuch was even more confused: "...What?"

Lin Qingyu was overwhelmed with emotions and didn't know what to say for a moment. He looked down at the eunuch's body and said in a trembling voice: "You... have realized your lifelong dream..."

Transmigrated into a eunuch? Became a real husband?

"Doctor Lin?" Xiao Fuzi wanted to hold him back, but felt that her hand was not worthy of touching such a beautiful doctor. "Doctor Lin, this is Xiao Songzi from the Qinzheng Palace. Do you have anything to do with him?"

Lin Qingyu was in a trance for a while, and then his reason gradually returned. If that person was in the palace, he would have come to find him long ago. Xiao Songzi knew that this sentence was probably told to him by someone else.

Lin Qingyu's hands suddenly became fierce, his expression was cold, and he asked sternly: "Where did you hear this from?"

Xiao Songzi was grabbed by the collar and could hardly breathe: "Wh-Which words are you saying…"

“Odds change but evens don’t!”

"I don't know, I know nothing." Xiao Songzi's face flushed red, "I just heard the scholars imprisoned in the Qinzheng Hall repeating this sentence from morning to night, just like chanting scriptures, and I memorized it unconsciously..."

Lin Qingyu slowly let go of his hand, his mind was in a state of confusion, with the joy of regaining what he had lost and the anxiety of not knowing the truth coexisting at the same time.

But now is not the time to be surprised or nervous, he must calm down and find out more information.

Hu Ji had mentioned Xiao Songzi to him many times, and they heard a lot of news from him. According to Hu Ji, Xiao Songzi was simple-minded, knew how to repay kindness, and was a trustworthy person. If what Xiao Songzi said was true, how did the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy know this?

Lin Qingyu's expression lightened up a bit, and he asked, "What else did you hear in the Qinzheng Palace?"

Xiao Songzi took a breath and said, "That's all. The door of the side hall of the Qinzheng Palace is always closed, and no one can get out. I can go in because I have to deliver meals to them three times a day... Oh, by the way, I also heard them mention Xixia several times."

Lin Qingyu asked again: "Since when were the scholars from the Hanlin Academy imprisoned in the Qinzheng Hall?"

"About three or five days ago. I don't know what they were doing."

Now that the emperor is seriously ill and the crown prince is acting as regent, all the scholars have gathered in the Qinzheng Palace, which must have been ordered by Xiao Cheng. So, was Xiao Cheng the source of the news? And did Xiao Cheng learn about it from Xixia?

In any case, that person is still alive, and he may be in Xixia or Dayu border. There are constant wars on the border between Xixia and Dayu, and that person may have come up with this desperate plan because he knew that he could not return on time.

He was still alive, but he had not come to find him yet. Instead, he had somehow passed the secret code to Dayu's court, which was enough to show that he was either unable to escape or had to hide his identity. He let Xiao Cheng know the secret code, not to ask him to respond, but just to convey the fact that he was still alive through Xiao Cheng's mouth.
