Chapter 51 Chapter 51 Replacement
Han Lin stood there in a daze, his expression somewhat dull.
But soon, he hugged Yang Dai tightly again, wishing he could rub Yang Dai into his bones and blood and never separate from her again.
Han Lin's embrace was so strong that Yang Dai felt she had difficulty breathing and subconsciously tried to break free from his embrace.
But remembering Han Lin's expression just now, Yang Dai slowed down her movements.
"Be gentle, it hurts."
Yang Dai's voice was still a little low, but Han Lin seemed to be frightened.
He looked Yang Dai up and down to make sure she was not hurt in any way.
After that, he just hugged Yang Dai lightly without using any more force.
But he remained silent, as if he had no intention of speaking.
"Does it hurt a lot?" Yang Dai asked again.
Han Lin shook his head. "It doesn't hurt, not at all."
"And now I'm grateful for that poisoned wine."
If it weren't for that cup of poisoned wine, he wouldn't have come to this era, and his relationship with Yang Dai would never have become like this.
In Daqing, Yang Dai was his nominal fiancée and the future Crown Princess.
But Han Lin himself knew that the two of them were just parallel lines that would never intersect.
Yang Dai hated him, even though she was his Crown Princess. Even though every time they met, Yang Dai wore the most perfect mask, greeted him, and sometimes even showed some concern for his health.
But you can’t hide your love for someone, and you can’t cover up your disgust and fear either.
Before marriage, Yang Dai was unwilling to have any contact with him.
In fact, their married life can be predicted at a glance. At most, they will treat each other with respect, but of course, they may also treat each other with coldness.
Yang Dai values the Chengguo Mansion. Even if she becomes the Crown Princess or the Queen in the future, she will still put the interests of the Chengguo Mansion first.
When he was the crown prince, he might have stood on the same front with the Chengguo Mansion for temporary interests.
However, Han Lin knew that once he succeeded in taking the throne, he would definitely take action against the Chengguo Mansion.
After all, no emperor could tolerate the aristocratic families bullying him.
And once he moved into the Duke's Mansion, the love between him and Yang Dai, which had never existed, would be shattered in an instant.
So Han Lin was in a complicated mood at that time.
He wanted Yang Dai to be his wife, but he didn't want them to get married.
After all, they could live in peace before marriage, but no matter how you look at it, life after marriage is full of disgust and they are like strangers.
Furthermore, as he gets older, Han Lin often feels that he can no longer control the toxins in his body.
He couldn't imagine how Yang Dai would get along with him if they faced his madness after marriage.
Furthermore, Daqing has been in trouble for many years and has become a country with deep-rooted problems. The court is in turmoil and no one cares about the people. Even Han Lin cannot guarantee that Daqing can revive.
Therefore, when he drank the cup of poison, he felt relieved. No matter what, he was relieved.
And now he is even more fortunate and happy.
He thanked the poisoned wine for giving him a new life.
The same face, all the memories, but with a muscular body.
Yang Dai also changed from a so-called fiancée to a real wife.
The communication between the two people no longer needs to worry about power struggles, but is simple.
This was something Han Lin had never thought of in his dreams before, but now it has been realized completely.
Yang Dai didn't know what Han Lin was thinking.
But after hearing Han Lin's answer, he subconsciously frowned.
She has learned some basic medical skills and has also dabbled in various poisons.
Any poison in this world that kills people by penetrating the intestines will inevitably cause pain before death.
The internal organs began to rot from the inside out and could not be saved.
Han Lin said it didn't hurt, but Yang Dai didn't believe it at all.
"Really, I didn't lie to you." Han Lin spoke again.
The comfortable environment in the room suddenly made him want to talk.
The arm around Yang Dai also tightened unconsciously.
Yang Dai raised her eyes and could only see Han Lin's sharp jawline.
Her hair was already loose, and the strands fell on Han Lin's body and face, creating a kind of half-covered beauty.
Yang Dai felt that although Han Lin still had many shortcomings, one thing was undeniable: Han Lin's face did look very authoritative.
In his previous life, before all kinds of panic-inducing rumors spread in the Eastern Palace, Han Lin had always been a popular figure in the entire Kyoto.
Although the Crown Princess had already been decided at that time, the Crown Princess was still a hot topic.
After all, good looks and power are the conditions for many families to choose a son-in-law.
But later, as the rumors in the Eastern Palace became more and more outrageous, everyone gradually turned their attention away from the prince, except for those who were bent on currying favor with the powerful.
Only Yang Dai, because of the imperial decree granting her marriage, was firmly tied to the prince's ship no matter what the rumors became.
Yang Dai's thoughts wandered unconsciously, and she recalled the scenes of her previous meetings with the prince in the East Palace.
"That's not the first time I drank poison." Han Lin's voice rang out, and the content made Yang Dai's eyes widen.
She turned over and sat up, her hands subconsciously groping around Han Lin's body.
After meeting Han Lin's gaze, he suddenly stopped.
Since it is a poison, there must be no external injuries.
And even if there had been any injuries before, she couldn't see them now.
After all, they changed time and space, and also changed their bodies.
This way there will naturally be no scars on the body.
Yang Dai laughed foolishly at her own flustered behavior and had no desire to speak. She just lay down again, her hand gently on Han Lin's waist, waiting for Han Lin to finish his words.
"The emperor has been giving me drugs for a long time. At first, the dosage was small. If it didn't work once, he would try it twice. After it worked, he started to increase the dosage gradually."
"That drug isn't fatal at first, but over time, it can become addictive and impossible to live without."
"As the dose increases, people will fall into their own hallucinations. Sometimes they are beautiful dreams, and sometimes they are murderous dreams."
The two kinds of dreams rotate and alternate, and after a long time, even a mentally normal person will fall into the magic.
What’s more, there are people who already have toxins remaining in their bodies.
"So those messy rumors in the East Palace at that time..." Yang Dai didn't say the rest of the words, but she already understood it in her heart.
When this drug affects the body, it is impossible for a person to control himself.
That’s why rumors kept coming out of the Eastern Palace, causing panic among the people.
"Those rumors are both true and false." Han Lin smiled and no longer cared about the past.
He has been the crown prince for many years. Even if he is incompetent, he still has the ability to control the servants in the Eastern Palace.
It’s just that the emperor wants to see the Eastern Palace in chaos, and as a "filial" son, he naturally has to satisfy his father's hobby.
Han Lin's eyes were full of sarcasm, but Yang Dai didn't notice.
She suddenly remembered an old story.
The emperor liked an environment of singing and dancing, so whenever there was a festival, he liked to hold a banquet in the palace.
As the prince's fiancée and the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion, Yang Dai naturally entered the palace every time.
When the banquet was over, the prince would tell her to stay, and sometimes the two would meet briefly and exchange a few words.
Sometimes she would ask the servants to pass things to her.
Only once, the prince showed up briefly at the banquet and then left, but a servant still told Yang Dai to wait a moment, as the prince wanted to see her.
Yang Dai waited as she was told, but she didn't show up for more than half an hour.
Finally, he was hurriedly sent home by people from the Eastern Palace.
This has never happened before.
Although Han Lin's mood was changeable, when he looked at her, she often felt like she was being stared at by a snake and could not escape.
But once Han Lin agreed to something, he never broke the promise.
Yang Dai returned home with a lot of doubts in her mind and couldn't even sleep well that night.
The next morning, I heard the news outside.
Yesterday, the Crown Prince massacred the Eastern Palace again and replaced half of the people there.
Even in the middle of the night, they were preparing to send several people directly to the Ministry of Punishment. When the emperor learned about it, he hurried to the Eastern Palace.
As a result, the prince was unfilial and almost hurt the emperor.
The emperor ordered everyone to keep silent, but after all, there were many people watching at the time, and it was unknown who leaked the news.
This was originally a trivial matter in Yang Dai's memory, but at this moment it suddenly surged towards her like a wave.
"Did you stand me up because you were about to hallucinate?"
"Yeah." Han Lin responded softly and rubbed his chin against Yang Dai's hair.
The war in the north was lost, and rumors gradually spread in the city that the emperor was to blame.
The emperor believed that he was the leader of the revival of the country and would never bear such a bad reputation.
The emperor wanted to shift the blame, and the prince was naturally the best candidate.
Therefore, before the banquet began, the emperor specially called Han Lin to his front and, like a loving father, watched Han Lin eat a bowl of small dumplings with added ingredients.
Then he sent people to sprinkle medicine powder all over the periphery of the Eastern Palace along the route that Han Lin had to pass.
Even at banquets, the prince's food was special and had added ingredients.
Han Lin knew that he had no way to avoid it, or rather, since he took the medicine for the first time, there was no turning back.
However, he could not lose his composure in front of all the civil and military officials at the banquet, so he left early.
Shortly after leaving the table, his mind began to become confused and he naturally forgot all about the previous agreement.
It was not until he was barely sober that he ordered someone to send Yang Dai home safely.
Now that Yang Dai has returned home, Han Lin no longer has to worry about the emperor doing anything more shameless.
Han Lin simply called the emperor night and made a fuss in the middle of the night.
If the rumors about the prince's debauchery and immorality were confirmed, then the blame for the defeat in the war could naturally be transferred to the prince.
After hearing the whole story, Yang Dai was amazed.
The royal family is heartless. This is what Yang Dai's grandfather often taught her after she grew up.
The love between father and son, husband and wife, mother and daughter, these are nothing in the face of huge interests.
But even though she knew it, Yang Dai still couldn't help but feel shocked after Han Lin told her the truth.
She patted Han Lin's waist again as a silent comfort.
Then another slightly bolder idea popped up in her mind.
"Your Majesty is not a wise ruler. Didn't you ever think of replacing him?"
