Thinking of this, Yu Qizhe's eyes dimmed. If Cheng Ying really had any connection with Master Huijue, then he and Lu Jin had been nothing but toys for others to amuse themselves for so many years, being toyed with and played with in the palm of others' hands.
At this time, Sister Hong brought in the medicine. Lu Jin took it and asked Wei Lichu to drink it: "The people from the East Factory should be looking for you everywhere. It is not advisable to stay here for long. It is safer for you to return to Liu Mansion."
Wei Lichu was too badly injured to get out of bed. He said, "I'll leave at dawn and won't cause any trouble for you. But why are you in the Plum Garden?"
Lu Jin glanced at Yu Qizhe, and seeing that Yu Qizhe lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, he scratched his head and said, "I just happened to pass by."
Wei Lichu didn't believe it. Who would go to the outskirts of Beijing in the middle of the night when they had nothing to do? However, Lu Jin saved his life, so he appreciated the favor and didn't ask any more questions.
"You are close to Cui Mubai, how much do you know about him?" Yu Qizhe suddenly asked.
Wei Lichu looked at him: "It depends on what you are asking."
Yu Qizhe said calmly: "It seems that you also know about the dirty deeds between him and Zhu Yu."
Wei Lichu's expression changed slightly, surprised that Yu Qizhe also knew...
Cui Mubai led the eunuchs away for him, and now it is still unknown whether he has been exposed. Wei Lichu couldn't help but explain for him, "He was also forced to do so. He is not as dirty as you think. He was born in a scholarly family with a good family tradition, and he married his eldest cousin. He should have lived a happy life like a fairy couple. If Zhu Yu hadn't forced him, he would never have fallen. If there is anyone in the world who wants Zhu Yu's life the most, Cui Mubai is the first one."
Yu Qizhe was not interested in these things, nor did he intend to understand Cui Mubai's difficulties. It was enough for him to know that Cui Mubai was not loyal to Zhu Yu.
It would be great if Cui Mubai also wanted Zhu Yu’s life.
"Cui Mubai doesn't have much time left. Tell him that if he wants to kill Zhu Yu, he can come to me." Yu Qizhe stood up, saying this, and said to Lu Jin, "You and Liuzi send him back to the Liu family. I have to go to the Ministry of Justice at dawn, so I'll leave first."
"Junior brother, how are you going to get back?" Lu Jin asked with concern, "Let Liuzi take you there. I'll ask Sister Hong to help find a carriage."
Yu Qizhe said lightly, "I'll go back. There are too many people on Zhixiang Street. Let's not bother."
The sky in the east was already turning pale and it was about to dawn. Yu Qizhe jumped up, summoned his inner strength, and moved as gracefully as a swallow. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared.
Lu Jin slapped his forehead. He always forgot that his junior brother was now in good health and his internal strength had recovered by 70% to 80%. He was no longer the weak and feeble scholar who was powerless.
Wei Lichu on the bed was a little surprised: "Yu Shidu is also a martial artist? How come he looks so weak? I thought he was very talented, and I didn't see that he knew martial arts at all."
Lu Jin smiled, quite proudly, "My junior brother is a man of both literary and martial arts talents, but he fell ill a few years ago and lost his internal strength, and could no longer fight. Now that he is well, he has picked up the art again."
Wei Lichu glanced at Lu Jin and was somewhat envious of his skills. If he had Lu Jin's high martial arts skills, he might have been able to rescue his master tonight. Now that he had alerted the enemy, it would probably be even more difficult to rescue his master.
"Are you from the same sect as Yu Qizhe?"
Lu Jin nodded, and said with some concealment, "Our master is Master Huijue of the Fahua Temple in Chile Mountain."
Wei Lichu sat up straight immediately, his wound hurting. "You said your master is a monk from Fahua Temple?"
Although Lu Jin was surprised when he heard Wei Lichu say that Cheng Ying and Zhang Daoling had been to Fahua Temple, he never thought of Master Huijue, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with saying it.
"I grew up in Fahua Temple. Don't get excited. I have never seen your master and Cheng Ying in the temple."
Wei Lichu was a little disappointed, but he clearly found out that Cheng Ying had stayed in the Fahua Temple for a long time. In the past few years, Cheng Ying would leave the palace and stay in the Fahua Temple for a short time almost every year. Although she claimed to be sick and went out for medical treatment, she actually went to the Fahua Temple in Qingzhou.
"Is there nothing strange about your temple?" If Wei Lichu had not found the whereabouts of his master Zhang Daoling, he would have gone to Fahua Temple to see what secrets were hidden there. It was just a small temple, so how could Cheng Ying go there again and again?
Lu Jin really thought about it carefully, and he shook his head and said, "What's so strange about our Fahua Temple? My master is well versed in Buddhism, and cares about the people of the world. He taught me and Yu Qizhe to bring peace to the people. The monks of our Fahua Temple would never go along with Cheng Ying, the treacherous eunuch."
Wei Lichu was a little disappointed. Seeing that it was already bright outside the window, he got out of bed and said, "Please take me back to the mansion."
Lu Jin helped him put on his shoes and socks, left a few silver coins in the water jar on the cabinet, and then helped Wei Lichu walk out. When they were out of the house, Sister Hong heard the noise and came out from the side room: "Why are you leaving so soon?"
"It's not safe here, I won't cause you any more trouble." Lu Jin said, "Thank you for taking me in last night."
