Heartbeat (Ning)

When Xiao Jin was sending Lin Yan back to the Lin Mansion, he asked: "The matter that Yan has to deal with in Beijing now is related to Prince Song Ting of Prince Jing."

Lin Yan was not surprised that he could guess it. After all, Xiao Jin was in the court and had fought against Prince Jing's rebel party. He must have known a lot about this matter.

She said, "Brother, you should be prepared. It won't be long before the Song Dynasty will have a major war."

Xiao Jin smiled and said, "I am also a citizen of the Song Dynasty, and even more so the invincible Duke Zhenguo. Whether the Song Dynasty is in trouble or A'an is in trouble, I will be here."

As he said this, he subconsciously touched Lin Yan's head. After realizing what he had done, he scratched his head awkwardly and explained, "I'm used to touching A Yue's head on a daily basis."

Lin Yan smiled and said, "Brother, you can touch my head anytime you want."

The two of them had already reached the door of Lin's house, and Lin Yan asked, "Would you like to come in and sit down?"

Xiao Jin: "No need, I have something to do in the military camp, I'll leave first."

Lin Yan waved to Xiao Jin, and when he turned around to enter the mansion, he saw Lin Yi standing behind the door, looking furtive and shocked.

"What are you doing here?" Lin Yan asked in confusion.

"Sister, didn't you say that you liked Yizhou? Why do you turn around and say goodbye to another man..." As she spoke, Lin Yi's lips trembled, and she was silent for a moment for Song Qing.

Lin Yan patted Lin Yi heavily and said helplessly: "What are you thinking about? That's my brother."

Lin Yi: “!”.

After saying that, Lin Yan pulled Lin Yi to the pavilion in the mansion. She didn't want to make Lin Yi worry, so she didn't even tell him that the Xu family was coming to Beijing.

Fortunately, today I told him everything that happened during this period of time.

Lin Yi was shocked after hearing this. He didn't expect that Lin Yan was the second lady that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had been looking for for so many years.

He also knew how deeply his sister was obsessed with her blood relatives. Now that she could recognize them, it was a great thing for her.

"Congratulations" Lin Yi was happy for Lin Yan.

However, Lin Yi remembered that Lin Yan wanted to express his feelings to Song Yizhou last night. Since Xiao Jin came to her last night, this plan would be ruined.

So Lin Yi asked with a curious look on his face: "Sister, you and Yizhou..."

"I've already told him this morning," Lin Yan said lightly.

"Sure, sister." Lin Yi gave Lin Yan a thumbs up.

Just when he was about to ask about Lin Yan's confession, Lin Yan changed the subject: "I won't tell you that. I still need to pack my things and live in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion for a while."

For the sake of Azhou's face, Lin Yan decided not to tell him about this mistake, so as to prevent Lin Yi from teasing Azhou.

Lin Yi was not surprised that she was going to live in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. After all, her elder sister had just recognized her relatives and must have wanted to spend more time with her mother.

However, he still said with jealousy: "Sister has other family members and has forgotten me, her brother."

Lin Yan glanced at Lin Yi and said, "I have a beautiful woman in my arms, Yuelin is with me every day, and he still cares about me as his elder sister."

Suddenly a carrier pigeon flew over. Lin Yan raised his arm to catch it and took out the letter inside.

Lin Yi asked: "Who is it?"

"Xiao Bai, he asked me to go find him on the third day of June, saying he had something to discuss with him," Lin Yan replied. "He should be doing well there now."

Since Zhang Bai entered the Empress Dowager's palace, Song Yizhou also sent spies to infiltrate there to pass on messages.

However, the Empress Dowager's palace was heavily guarded, and Zhang Bai did not dare to have much contact with his spies. At most, he sent a message to ask Lin Yan to come.

"Xiao Bai is a really good kid. He went there without being discovered and gained the trust of the Empress Dowager so easily," Lin Yi said with pride.

Tang Yuelin had been standing in the dark since the carrier pigeon flew in. When she heard what the two said, anxiety appeared in her eyes and her hands unconsciously clenched her handkerchief.

Hearing that the two were not talking, Tang Yuelin adjusted her facial expression, walked over with a smile and asked, "What are you talking about?"

When Lin Yi saw his wife coming, he walked over, held her hand, and said gently: "We are talking about Zhang Bai."

Looking at the two of them sticking together, Lin Yan couldn't bear to watch it and said, "Let's go. I still have to pack my things."

"Walk slowly"

Tang Yuelin asked in confusion: "Sister, why are you packing up your things?"

"This is a long story." Lin Yi held Tang Yuelin's hand and slowly walked towards the yard.

After hearing about Lin Yan's recognition of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Tang Yuelin was shocked and murmured, "No wonder..."

Lin Yi was puzzled, "No wonder."

"Nothing," Tang Yuelin reacted quickly and made an excuse: "No wonder my sister is so close to the third lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."

Lin Yi nodded in agreement. He had previously wondered why his elder sister cared so much about Xiao Yue. It seemed that it was due to some mysterious blood connection.

In fact, the "no wonder" that Tang Yuelin mentioned was not this, but she thought about why Lin Yan was so sad about Xiao Yue's death in her previous life. It was probably because of this.

Now thinking about it, in Lin Yan’s previous life, all his relatives were dead, whether they were blood relatives or not, not a single one was left.

Tang Yuelin used to feel that she was very miserable, but now she thinks that Lin Yan was the most miserable person, as she was left alone in this world.

Lin Yan casually took a few pieces of clothes and went to stay at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion for a while. After the matter of Prince Jing was resolved, it was time to leave the capital.

Thinking of the figure standing behind the wooden pillar when she was talking to Lin Yi about Zhang Bai, Lin Yan's eyes deepened. Since Xiao Bai left, she noticed that something was wrong with Yue Lin.

Thinking about the time when she sent Xiaobai away, Yuelin was afraid that Xiaobai Linyan would be confused. She always felt that Yuelin was hiding some secrets.

After leaving the house, Lin Yan went to Ning'an Medical Clinic. She secretly took A'niang's pulse last night. Her body was too weak now and still needed good care.

It was noon and Zhou Ningning had just finished lunch. There was no one seeing a doctor in the clinic at the moment. She sat in front of the counter, propping up her head and looking at the clinic door boredly.

Seeing Lin Yan coming in, Zhou Ningning's eyes lit up and she hurriedly went to greet her, "Sister, why are you here?"

Lin Yan touched Zhou Ningning's head and said, "I want to see you for medical treatment."

"Who are you treating?" Zhou Ningning asked.

Lin Yan: "My mother."

Seeing that Zhou Ningning was not surprised at all, Lin Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that someone knew it in advance. Tell me, where did you get the information?"

This is a long story.

Yesterday, after Xiao Jin asked her about her elder sister's martial arts, she felt that something was fishy. Thinking about her elder sister's abnormal behavior in the past few days, an idea took root in her mind.

With nothing else to do, Zhou Ningning's curiosity began to burn.

She had a premonition that something big was going to happen, so she dragged Song Jing to wait near the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion for a whole hour.

Zhou Ningning was so immersed in finding the truth that this hour was nothing to her.

As for Song Jing, there is no need to say more. Although he doesn't know what Zhou Ningning wants to do, he is happy to stay by her side and do nothing.

Sure enough, Xiao Jin was seen hurriedly leaving the house and disappeared on horseback in a flash.

Zhou Ningning, who was about to catch up, hissed, "Why is this Duke Zhenguo running so fast? Is he in a hurry to reincarnate?"

Song Jing asked: "What should we do now?"

Zhou Ningning rolled her eyes and thought about where her sister would go tonight when she mentioned it to A Yue, so she came up with an idea: "Magpie Bridge".

The two of them immediately took a carriage to Magpie Bridge. If they had arrived earlier, they might have run into the sad Song Yizhou.

Zhou Ningning pulled Song Jing carefully and hid behind a tree, trying to eavesdrop on what the two were talking about.

But the tree where they were hiding was too far away from Lin Yan and the others. Zhou Ningning couldn't hear clearly and wanted to get closer but didn't dare. She knew that if she got too close, her sister would definitely notice.

Fortunately, Song Jing had good hearing. It was getting dark and there were not many people on the road, so he could hear it easily.

He told Zhou Ningning the entire conversation between the two of them, word for word.

Zhou Ningning was so surprised after hearing this that she almost screamed. Fortunately, Song Jing was quick to cover her mouth so that Lin Yan didn't notice.

In his haste, Song Jing ignored the rules of gender separation and slipped over a stone, pressing Zhou Ningning against the tree.

At this time, Song Jing was looking at Lin Yan nervously, afraid that she would discover their presence, and he did not notice at all how close he was to Zhou Ningning.

Zhou Ningning had her mouth covered by Song Jing. Under the moonlight, she could clearly see Song Jing's thick eyelashes and delicate skin.

Where Song Jing couldn't see, her face turned red.

Song Jing kept staring in the direction of Lin Yan, and only felt relieved when he saw Lin Yan leave.

In fact, it was nothing if Lin Yan found out that the two of them were eavesdropping, but Song Jing subconsciously didn't want Lin Yan to find out that he was with Aning.

For some reason, Song Jing always felt that Lin Yan had started to dislike him since some time ago, or perhaps, he didn't like him being with Aning.

While thinking, Song Jing felt someone poking his hand. He looked down and found that he had been covering Zhou Ningning's mouth.

Song Jing suddenly jumped up and hurriedly said sorry.

Zhou Ningning's eyes flashed with discomfort. She stood up, patted her dress, and pretended to be calm and said, "Nothing."

Knowing that Lin Yan had left, Zhou Ningning walked out of the big tree that was blocking them and said thankfully: "Thank God, my sister's biological mother is actually Madam Gu. Listening to their conversation, there must have been some misunderstanding before, which should have been resolved now."

Now that she heard what she wanted to know, Zhou Ningning's curiosity was satisfied. She tried hard to forget what had just happened and asked Song Jing: "It's so late, will your family let you go back?"

In the past, Song Jing would definitely not have stayed outside the palace so late, but the emperor's uncle had not sent anyone until now, so Song Jing thought he must have acquiesced.

He said, "No one cares about me today."

"Then I'll treat you to dinner as a thank you for accompanying me tonight," Zhou Ningning said.

Song Jing's eyes lit up and said, "Okay."

Hearing Zhou Ningning say that she had been staying with Song Jing last night, Lin Yan's brain froze for a moment, "When... did you become so familiar with Song and Xie Jing?"

"He often came to help me when I opened a clinic, and we became familiar with each other after a while," Zhou Ningning said casually.

As she spoke, Zhou Ningning thought of what happened last night, her face became hot uncontrollably, and she lowered her head so that her sister wouldn't notice.

Lin Yan curled his lips. The emperor of the current dynasty had nothing to do, so he ran to this small clinic as soon as he left the palace. If people knew about this, they would be shocked.

Looking at the innocent Zhou Ningning, Lin Yan sighed helplessly in his heart. Well, let whatever happens between them be left to them. No one can predict what will happen in the future.

"Okay, then our great doctor Zhou, when are you free to accompany me to visit the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?" Lin Yan smiled dotingly.

"Report to my sister, now..." There is no one to see patients in the clinic right now, so it's a good time to go and see Mrs. Gu.

After Zhou Ningning took her medicine box, the two of them set off for the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Madam Gu's Courtyard in the Zhenguo Mansion

Zhou Ningning took Madam Gu's pulse, wrote out a prescription and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, Madam Gu's illness will not recur. It's just that her body is too weak and needs proper care."

Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. He had noticed that A Niang had difficulty breathing last night and was worried that she had some other illness.

Mrs. Gu was very happy that Lin Yan brought Zhou Ningning to see her. Knowing that her daughter was worried about her illness, she looked at the two of them with a happy face.

She held Zhou Ningning's hand and said softly, "You must be A'an's recognized sister, the little doctor A'ning. Thank you for curing my illness before."

When Zhou Ningning heard Mrs. Gu address her, she touched her head embarrassedly and said, "It's my duty, it's my duty."

"If you don't mind, would you please call me Aunt Gu?" Zhou Ningning looked blessed, and Mrs. Gu was very happy to see her.

"Auntie Gu," Zhou Ningning said sweetly.

“Hey.”

Lin Yan watched from the side and saw that the two of them hit it off immediately without any awkwardness, and she smiled more.

Mrs. Gu kept Zhou Ningning at her house for the whole afternoon until dinner.

During this period, Zhou Ningning gave Mrs. Gu several injections and let her take a medicinal bath. After a course of treatment, Mrs. Gu felt refreshed and kept praising Zhou Ningning.

Lin Yan was not idle either. Xiao Yue's foundation was almost built up now, so Lin Yan taught her some basic sword techniques.

Xiao Jin, who usually eats dinner in the military camp, came back early today to have dinner with his family.

Looking at this scene, Nanny Li couldn't help but sigh. The mansion had not been so lively for many years. If the second young lady had been in the mansion since she was born, it would probably be so lively over the years.

After dinner, Lin Yan sent Zhou Ningning back home.

When they were almost at Zhou's house, Zhou Ningning suddenly remembered that there was something important that she had not told her sister in the past few days.

She said, "Sister, have you seen the stream recently?"

"No." Lin Yan frowned, "She didn't come on Azhou's birthday, saying that she caught a cold."

"She hasn't left the palace for a long time. I wrote to invite her to visit my clinic, but she refused. But what happened?" Zhou Ningning couldn't help but worry.

"I will ask Azhou tomorrow. Don't worry, Xishui will be fine in the palace," Lin Yan comforted.

"good"
