Previous Life (3)
After reading to the end of the diary, two letters fell out. Tang Yuelin stayed in the study for a whole night and her tears had dried up.
One of the letters had Tang Yuelin's name on it. She opened it and the candlelight in the study illuminated the letter.
"Alin, I'm ashamed to say this. By the time you read this, I'll have passed away. I vaguely remember the first time we met, we both had our eyes on a book. I wanted to give it to you, but you had something urgent to do and had to leave. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I tell you this. The moment we met, my heart skipped a beat. I didn't expect to see you again later. I was so happy then. I was thinking, I'm going to marry you. I'll never let you down in this life."
"It's a pity that fate played a trick on me. I ended up making you sad. You've probably read my notes. His Majesty is now insane. I found out what Gu Shi and Zhong Yuxi had done over the years. They must have done something to His Majesty. Ningning is dead, Yizhou is also dead. Their deaths were not simple. They are not something that ordinary people can do. I guess the next one will be me. I will use my life in exchange for His Majesty to wake up once, so that I can save you and clear your parents' name. These are the only things I can do. It's better than dying inexplicably. I know very well that there is nothing I can do about everything in the capital. My ending is certain to be death, so don't be sad for me."
"Alin, I want to go back to Nanshan. Take my body there and bury me next to my father. I've never had the chance to tell you that my father was the former head of the Nanshan Sect, the most powerful martial arts school in the world. He was once the best in the martial arts world. Isn't this a very impressive identity? Unfortunately, I pissed my father off to death. People like me are probably the most hateful people in the world. The current head of the Nanshan Sect is my sister, but she's been missing for eight years. If you can see her, please give her the other letter for me."
"It's not easy to get into Nanshan. There's a map I drew in the notebook. Take my jade pendant. The brothers and sisters in the sect will help you. After that, find a place to live well. Don't return to the capital. The capital is extremely strange now. Don't come back."
"Alin, live well"
After seeing all the things that Lin Yi left behind, Tang Yuelin broke down and cried again, "Ayi, you are all gone, what's the point of me living alone in this world?"
At this moment, Tang Yuelin no longer had the desire to live, but when she thought of Lin Yixin's instructions, her reason brought her back.
I read Lin Yi's notes over and over again in the study until dawn.
Tang Yuelin tidied herself up and went to Nanshan with Lin Yi's body.
Nanshan
The senior brothers and sisters in the sect were very surprised and sad to hear the news of Lin Yi's death. They cooperated with Tang Yuelin to bury Lin Yi.
Tang Yuelin knelt in front of Lin Yi's grave, burned paper money for Lin Yi, and muttered a lot.
There was a peach tree planted next to the grave, and pink petals were falling. Tang Yuelin heard a sound behind her and turned around to see a woman.
The woman was holding a sword, wearing a green dress, and her brows were full of heroism.
Tang Yuelin looked at her in confusion.
But the next moment, Lin Yan drew his sword, put it against Tang Yuelin's neck, and asked: "Who are you?"
At this moment, Tang Yuelin was not afraid, but calmly stated her identity: "I am Tang Yuelin, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness. I was entrusted by Lin Yi to bring his body back to Nanshan."
Lin Yan then noticed the plaque on the tomb and tried to keep his voice calm. "What did you say?"
Seeing her so shocked, Tang Yuelin was puzzled and asked, "Who are you?"
An unknown amount of time had passed. Just when Tang Yuelin thought she would not answer her, Lin Yan's voice came: "Lin Yan".
Tang Yuelin was shocked. Lin Yi asked her to give the letter to her elder sister if she met her.
But Lin Yi's notes said that Lin Yan had been missing for eight years and there had been no news of him during this period.
She also asked her senior brothers and sisters on Nanshan Mountain, who said that Lin Yan had come back once three years ago and left a child behind, asking her to inherit the position of the head of the Nanshan Sect in the future. There has been no news of him since then.
In Tang Yuelin's eyes, this matter was nothing more than entrusting an orphan to someone else. Moreover, Lin Yan did not show up at Zhong Ningning's wedding or even when she passed away. Tang Yuelin even thought that Lin Yan was dead. She never expected to see her again.
It was only after reading Lin Yi's letter that she realized that Ah Yi thought he was dying and sent a letter to his father, which accidentally led to his father's death. In her opinion, Lin Yan might hate Lin Yi to death.
Tang Yuelin came to her senses and gave the letter left by Lin Yi to Lin Yan, and also gave her Lin Yi's notes.
I hope that after reading the letter, Lin Yan will forgive Lin Yi, who was forced to do something against his will back then.
Lin Yan tried her best to control her hands from shaking and took the envelope, but she did not open it. Instead, she asked her what happened in Beijing.
Tang Yuelin told everything truthfully, but during this time Lin Yan kept staring at her earlobe, where there was a very shallow petal-like scar, which she didn't know when it appeared.
However, Lin Yan asked her an unexpected question, "What is your relationship with Zhong Yuxi?"
Tang Yuelin was stunned for a moment, then realized that Zhong Ningning was Zhong Yuxi's sister, so it was normal for Lin Yan to ask this question.
Then he said: "She was my good friend."
Lin Yan was silent for a moment and said, "Nanshan is very safe. Ordinary people can't get in. Miss Tang, please stay here from now on."
After saying this, Lin Yan left.
Tang Yuelin didn't understand what Lin Yan meant, but she didn't want to understand either.
After Lin Yan left, Tang Yuelin put on the wedding dress she had bought early in the morning, and took advantage of the fact that there was no one in the back mountain to end her life in front of Lin Yi's grave.
Now that everyone is gone, what reason does she have to live? Tang Yuelin looked at Lin Yi's grave with a smile on her lips: "Ayi, I must marry you in my next life."
After her death, Tang Yuelin still exists in this world, but what remains is her soul.
Tang Yuelin's soul floated all the way to Lin Yan. She saw Lin Yan riding his horse at full speed all the way to the capital, and she had a vague guess in her heart.
During the past few months in the capital, Tang Yuelin has been following Lin Yan and has gotten to know this stranger a little better.
She saw Lin Yan staring blankly at the bright moon in the middle of the night, murmuring: "Ayi, it's my fault."
Tang Yuelin looked at this scene and guessed that there was probably some misunderstanding between Lin Yi and Lin Yan. Unfortunately, Yi would never know.
However, what surprised her most was that after listening to the conversation between Lin Yan and his men, she learned that Zhong Yuxi's husband Gu Shi was actually Song Ting, the son of Prince Jing who had failed in his rebellion.
When I think about how much His Majesty trusts Gu, it turns out that it was all a conspiracy from the very beginning.
But now, His Majesty has gone crazy. If His Majesty dies one day, Gu Shi will reveal his identity and the entire Song Dynasty will be completely in his pocket.
Tang Yuelin did not read the letter that Ayi wrote to Lin Yan, but in the letter Ayi must have mentioned the deaths of Lin Yan, Song Yizhou and Zhong Ningning. Lin Yan would not seek revenge.
Tang Yuelin was a little anxious and wanted to tell Lin Yan that it was very dangerous in Beijing and asked her not to go.
It’s a pity that Lin Yan couldn’t see her existence.
Seeing Lin Yan running all the way to Prime Minister Gu Shi's residence, Tang Yuelin began to be shocked by Lin Yan's life-threatening behavior.
However, what happened afterwards shocked Tang Yuelin even more, because Lin Yan broke into the heavily guarded Prime Minister's Mansion with just a sword.
No one was a match for Lin Yan. Gu Shi was not at home at the time, so Lin Yan had a smooth journey and killed Zhong Yuxi and took her away.
When Gu Shi arrived, Lin Yan and Zhong Yuxi had already disappeared.
Lin Yan brought people to Jinhua Temple. At this time, Zhong Yuxi was scared to death.
Tang Yuelin followed Lin Yan numbly, shocked at how quickly it all happened.
Anyway, Tang Yuelin was already dead, so she felt a lot more relaxed and started to scold Lin Yi. Lin Yan had the ability to do this. If she had been in the capital from the beginning, all this might not have happened.
Lin Yan threw Zhong Yuxi to the ground with murderous intent in his eyes.
He squatted down, his eyes full of coldness, looked directly into Zhong Yuxi's eyes and asked: "How did Miss Xiao Yue, the third daughter of the Zhenguo Mansion, die?"
Zhong Yuxi didn't think Lin Yan knew anything and would never tell anyone even if he was beaten to death.
She refused to say anything, but Lin Yan had plenty of ways. She clenched Zhong Yuxi's finger bones and crushed them bit by bit, saying in a cold tone: "If you don't want all the bones in your body to be crushed by me like this, you can try not to say anything."
As early as when Lin Yan broke her finger bones, Zhong Yuxi could no longer bear it and screamed with a trembling voice: "Ahhhhhhh, I'll tell you, I'll tell you."
Lin Yan shook her hand away as if it were dirt, stood up and looked down at her, "Don't try to deceive me, I know you are not from this world. If you dare to have any evil thoughts, I don't mind if your hand is completely broken."
Tang Yuelin looked surprised. Zhong Yuxi was not from this world, so where did she come from?
Zhong Yuxi looked at Lin Yan in shock. Now she was really scared, but when she thought of Song Ting who was still in the palace, she swallowed and thought to herself: "Hold her back and wait for A Ting to come and rescue me."
She didn't know how much Lin Yan knew, so in order to avoid suffering too much, she could only tell the truth. When Ah Ting came, she would definitely tear this woman into pieces.
She told in a trembling voice how she had drained Xiao Yue's luck.
After hearing this, Lin Yan's eyes turned red and a few tears fell, "She had just become a mother at that time, why were you so cruel?"
Surprise flashed in Tang Yuelin's eyes. She thought of the child on Nanshan Mountain. No wonder she felt familiar with him. It turned out that the child was Miss Xiao San's child.
What is the relationship between Lin Yan and Miss Xiao San?
After hearing what Lin Yan said, Zhong Yuxi suddenly understood, without a trace of guilt on her face: "I said she didn't have much affection for me, it turns out it's because she is too weak."
"If you want to blame someone, blame her for having a brother who is the Duke of Zhenguo. It's because the Duke of Zhenguo has always stood on the side of the Regent. Only when Xiao Yue dies can the Duke of Zhenguo lose his composure and our plan can proceed smoothly."
Seeing her self-righteous look, Lin Yan wanted to cut her into pieces. She clenched the sword in her hand and tried hard to control her hand.
Tang Yuelin looked at Zhong Yuxi angrily. Only then did she truly see the true meaning of her former friend.
Then, is she Zhong Yuxi's target? A chill surged from behind Tang Yuelin.
"Where is Zhong Ningning?" Lin Yan asked the next person.
"With Zhong Ningning's medical skills, there is no poison in the world that can kill her," said Lin Yan.
"Who said that no poison can do anything to her?" Zhong Yuxi sneered, "There is poison in this world that can kill her."
Tang Yuelin knew that the person who poisoned the food was called Lord Mu Bai, and he was an expert in making poisons.
But she still couldn't understand why His Majesty suspected the Regent of Zhong Ningning's death.
Lin Yan took a deep breath, rushed forward and grabbed Zhong Yuxi's neck, his eyes reddened and his hands gradually tightened.
Zhong Yuxi slapped Lin Yan's hands hard, and Lin Yan let go only when he felt he was about to die.
"Why did Regent Song Yizhou suddenly die in prison?" Lin Yan continued to ask.
After such a long time, Zhong Yuxi looked outside the door anxiously.
Lin Yan sneered, "Waiting for Gu Shi? Don't worry, he is busy with his coronation ceremony right now, so he has no time to take care of you."
"I don't believe that A Shi will come to save me." Zhong Yuxi didn't believe Lin Yan's nonsense.
Lin Yan didn’t have time to waste talking to her, “You haven’t answered my question yet.”
As he spoke, Lin Yan's sword stabbed Zhong Yuxi's shoulder, and blood gushed out.
"Song Yizhou is too difficult to kill. I spent a lot of luck points to have him die suddenly in prison." Although he was stabbed with a sword, Zhong Yuxi had a proud look on his face. After all, this regent was the most difficult person to kill in the book.
Lin Yan's voice trembled uncontrollably, "Why did Emperor Song Jing go crazy?"
Zhong Yuxi covered his wound in pain. "It's very difficult to kill this male protagonist who is protected by the true dragon's energy. But now that Zhong Ningning is dead, the people around him are gradually dying because of me. Over time, I can use my luck to drive him crazy."
Just as he finished speaking, the sound of swords and knives was heard outside the temple. Zhong Yuxi laughed loudly: "Ashi is here to save me. You can't run away. You will die soon."
An assassin rushed in, saw Zhong Yuxi on the ground, and shot an arrow.
Zhong Yuxi looked at him excitedly, thinking that he was here to save her, but the next moment, she couldn't laugh anymore, because the man's arrow was shot at her.
At this time, Lin Yan had already gone out to fight with the assassins outside. Zhong Yuxi dodged an arrow in panic and fled in embarrassment.
Zhong Yuxi saw the totem on her palm and realized that the other party was Song Ting's man. She asked in shock: "You are Ah Shi's man, why are you here to kill me?"
The assassin sneered and said, "My master ordered me to send the girl on her way."
She no longer dodged the arrows and asked in despair: "Why? I have done so much for him, why does he treat me like this?"
"Miss, you don't need to know." The assassin said no more, picked up the knife and prepared to chop at Zhong Yuxi.
The next moment, a sword appeared out of nowhere and stabbed the assassin's neck. Bright blood gushed out and splashed all over Zhong Yuxi's face.
Zhong Yuxi glanced at the direction where the sword came from, and then fainted completely.
Tang Yuelin was surprised. After all, in her impression, Zhong Yuxi and Gu Shi were very much in love. It seemed that everything was just an appearance.
When Tang Yuelin saw Lin Yan carrying Zhong Yuxi out, she followed him. She accidentally touched the tripod furnace in the middle of the temple that had been abandoned for who knows how long, and was sucked in.
Then, she went back to ten years ago.
