trick
After leaving the Lin Mansion, Tang Yuelin's words lingered in Lin Yan's mind for a long time, scraping her heart like a knife.
It turns out that everything in the dream was real. A Yue died in childbirth, An Ning died of poisoning, A Yi committed suicide, and A Zhou died suddenly. These all happened in the previous life.
Lin Yan didn't dare to think about how painful it would be if Tang Yuelin had not been reborn and he had not gone to Beijing, and after his injuries healed, he saw all his relatives and friends die.
Tang Yuelin said she didn't know what happened after Lin Yan captured Zhong Yuxi, but Lin Yan guessed that he probably killed all those who killed them, and then found a deserted place and died quietly.
Thinking about their ending in the previous life, even though I didn't experience it personally, the sadness lingered around me and couldn't dissipate for a long time.
While his thoughts were in a mess, the hand hanging by his side was taken up by a big, broad hand. Lin Yan raised his head and saw that handsome face, looking at him with a smile.
"Ayan, would you like to go somewhere with me?" Song Yizhou's voice was soft, like a feather brushing past his ear.
Lin Yan smiled and said, "Okay."
Song Yizhou took Lin Yan to the tallest observatory in the capital, where one could see the entire Shangjing.
It was already dark at this time, the capital was brightly lit, and the stars in the sky flickered. Lin Yan sat on the observatory and looked up at the starry sky.
After an unknown amount of time, Song Yizhou said softly, "A'yan is in a better mood now."
Lin Yan turned his head and looked to his side, and said in surprise: "How do you know I'm in a bad mood?"
"Someone is just standing there in a daze, and you can feel the coldness around him even without getting close." Song Yizhou chuckled, then took Lin Yan's hand and held it tightly, "But is there something bothering you?"
Lin Yan pursed his lips and said, "Azhou, do you believe in past and present lives?"
"I believe"
"Why?" Lin Yan was surprised. If she hadn't met Zhong Yuxi and Tang Yuelin, she might never have believed that there was such a thing as past and present lives in this world.
"Because, I once had a dream." Thinking of that dream, Song Yizhou's voice trembled, "In the dream, you were dead, lying in my arms, without a breath, no matter how much I shouted, I couldn't wake you up."
"Later, I prayed to the gods and Buddhas, praying every day to bring you back to life, but you still lay there quietly, cold and icy."
Feeling that Song Yizhou was in a bad mood, Lin Yan hurriedly pulled his hand and said, "Azhou, it was just a dream."
"I really hope it was a dream, but that dream was too real, so real that it seemed like something from my previous life." Song Yizhou hugged Lin Yan in his arms, resting his head on her neck, and choked.
Lin Yan thought sadly, it must be fake, after all, A Zhou died before her in the previous life.
At this moment, Lin Yan had forgotten the dream he had when he was in a coma, and the image of Song Yizhou with white hair.
After the two of them calmed down, Song Yizhou asked, "So why did A'an mention past and present lives?"
"Because there really is past and present lives in this world, Tang Yuelin is reborn..." Just like that, Lin Yan told Song Yizhou everything he learned from Tang Yuelin.
After listening, Song Yizhou was silent for a while, "At least we are still alive and well in this life, aren't we?"
Lin Yan smiled and said, "Yes, we are all living well in this life and in the future too."
Lin Mansion
After Tang Yuelin told Lin Yan what she knew, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and the stone that was weighing on her heart was finally put down.
In the past, she couldn't say anything for fear of missing something. No one knew about her rebirth, which made Tang Yuelin always feel unrealistic. At the same time, she was constantly afraid that she would repeat the mistakes of her previous life.
Fortunately, Lin Yan now knows that she is no longer alone.
As soon as Lin Yan left, Lin Yi entered the mansion. In a corner unknown to the two of them, Lin Yi heard everything.
Seeing Lin Yi coming back, Tang Yuelin greeted him warmly: "Are you hungry? The kitchen is preparing dinner. You need to wait a while."
Listening to his wife's kind greetings, Lin Yi suddenly pulled Tang Yuelin into his arms, hugged her tightly, and said in a muffled voice: "Alin, I heard everything."
"What did you hear..." Tang Yuelin smiled, and then realized what the other party said.
Tang Yuelin only told Lin Yan the key points of what she had experienced, and casually skipped over her own experiences, but Lin Yi heard something different from it.
Because when Tang Yuelin mentioned the death of her parents and Lin Yi, her trembling voice and sad expression told Lin Yi that Tang Yuelin was very miserable in her previous life.
He and Lin Yan just listened to her talk about her past life, but only Tang Yuelin had truly experienced it all.
Tang Yuelin shouldered everything alone and was reborn with hatred. She worked herself to death every day. When she was afraid, she had no one to talk to and could only grit her teeth and get through it.
As Tang Yuelin's husband, how could Lin Yi not notice that something was wrong with her? He was the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple and had solved countless cases. No clues could escape his eyes.
Lin Yi noticed Tang Yuelin's moodiness many times, but he never asked. She was his wife, and no matter what she did, Lin Yi would not doubt it. He was waiting, waiting for Alin to tell him in person.
He never thought that Arlene had endured so much alone in a place unknown to him. Thinking of the moment when Tang Yuelin said she was reborn, what was he doing at that time? He was deliberately distancing himself from her and pushing her away.
But at that time, Tang Yuelin had just experienced the destruction of her family. His departure made her already confused and frightened, and she only wanted to save him.
"I'm sorry, Arlene, I discovered it too late," Lin Yi blamed himself.
"Ayi, how can I blame you? I couldn't tell you these things before. It has nothing to do with you." Tang Yuelin patted Lin Yi's back and said softly, "Besides, in this life, my parents are healthy, and I married you as I wished. It is already a blessing in my life."
"We will be together forever." Lin Yi held Tang Yuelin's hand tightly.
"good"
The most crucial and strange information Lin Yan got from Tang Yuelin was that Aning was killed by Xiaobai.
Tang Yuelin said that in the previous life, Xiao Bai had always been close to the Empress Dowager, and it was he who poisoned Aning to death, and even led Song Jing to suspect Azhou.
Although he had not experienced it personally, Lin Yan felt that Xiao Bai was not that kind of person. Besides, apart from Lao Zhao, there was no one else in the world who could poison and kill the people of Aning.
As for why Azhou was framed, Lin Yan had a rough guess. They probably wanted to throw dirty water on Lao Zhao.
A Zhou wanted to protect Lao Zhao, which caused the crazy Song Jing to suspect him.
As for Aning's death, Zhong Yuxi must have been responsible.
But when Lin Yan thought about the unusual side of the child he had shown when he met Zhang Bai a few days ago, he felt inexplicably uneasy.
Zhang Bai wanted to take revenge and prove himself, and Lin Yan saw all of this. With them by his side in this life, he brought Xiao Bai to the capital without having to endure any hardship.
But what about his previous life? In his previous life, Xiao Bai's father died, and he had no relatives around him. No one could avenge him. No one knew what he would become after growing up in such an environment.
Lin Yan thought that the plan of taking Xiao Bai out of the palace should be put on the agenda to avoid any further complications.
But Lin Yan didn't know that after Zhang Bai's plan was severely rejected by her that day, he came up with another trick.
Because of Lin Yan's warning, Zhang Bai no longer dared to test the poison on others. He was afraid that if he continued, Sister Lin would really abandon him.
But he was unwilling to accept that he had done nothing, and coupled with some rebellious psychology, he wanted to do something to impress Sister Lin and the others.
Zhang Bai learned from the Empress Dowager that they would launch a rebellion soon and were just waiting for an opportunity.
They wanted to kill Emperor Song Jing first. By then, the court would be in turmoil and the capital would be in chaos. Song Yizhou would be busy dealing with court affairs and naturally would have no time to take care of them.
At that time, if Song Ting rebelled, he could catch them off guard.
Zhang Bai's suspension of testing poison on humans caused dissatisfaction in the Empress Dowager, but Zhang Bai exaggerated the side effects, which made her afraid to ask him to continue.
Zhang Bai took this opportunity to mention that he wanted to atone for his sins and made a poison pill. This poison was colorless and odorless. When soaked in water, even if the entire Imperial Hospital came, they would not be able to find any poison. It could kill people without anyone noticing.
The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes. The poison came at the perfect time.
Their previous plan was to send a group of assassins to break into the palace and kill Song Jing.
But this plan was too dangerous. The reason they were so bold was because there was an unknown secret passage in the palace, through which they could enter.
In order to ensure the success of the plan, the assassins sent this time are all elite. If Song Jing can really swallow the poison, the losses can be reduced.
However, it is even more difficult to get this poison into Song Jing's mouth.
Song Yizhou had already reshuffled the palace, and Song Jing no longer had their people around him, so poisoning him would be extremely difficult.
Zhang Bai continued to tempt him, "Your Majesty and I had some interactions in the early years, and I have my own way to make him take this poison."
These words made the Empress Dowager narrow her eyes instantly and began to doubt: "How did you get to know Song Jing?"
Zhang Bai was not in a hurry, "In the early years when my Zhou family was still in the capital, my father was on duty in the Imperial Hospital. At that time, Prince An was in favor and Your Majesty was neglected. He was poisoned, and I was lucky to save his life."
Zhou Qi was just a little medicine boy following his father in the Imperial Hospital. Naturally, the Empress Dowager would not pay attention to him, let alone know if there was a child following him.
Hearing about the relationship between Zhang Bai and Song Jing, the Empress Dowager was slightly moved, but she did not believe it completely and asked: "Why are you telling me now?"
Zhang Bai said calmly: "If I had told you at the beginning that Your Majesty and I had this kind of connection, I'm sure you wouldn't have believed me."
Seeing Zhang Bai so calm, the Empress Dowager's doubts were somewhat dispelled.
She continued: "Tell me about your plan."
Zhang Bai heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this, knowing that the Empress Dowager was probably moved. Fortunately, Zhou Qi's youngest son was two years older than Zhang Bai, so the reported age was naturally fourteen.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to tell this lie. After all, when Song Jing was seven or eight years old, he was only three or four years old and his teeth had not yet grown.
Zhang Bai asked the empress dowager to send him into the palace. Although the palace was heavily guarded, the empress dowager still had some ability to arrange for a small guard to go in.
After entering, Zhang Bai had to rely on himself.
Anyway, in front of the Empress Dowager, Zhang Bai promised that when he met Song Jing, he would be able to make him recognize him and trust him.
Zhang Bai was of course confident that Song Jing would recognize him. When he lived in the Lin Mansion before, he was taken to the Regent's Palace by Lin Yi and met Song Jing by chance.
The two of them got along very well and started playing together.
Zhang Bai is confident that Song Jing can cooperate with him.
On the fifth day after sneaking into the palace, he deliberately waited at the road that Song Jing had to take when leaving the court.
When Song Jing was passing by in the dragon chariot, Zhang Bai hit his leg with a stone.
When he looked up and saw the familiar face, Song Jing was shocked, but Zhang Bai winked at him and he suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked him to follow.
The Empress Dowager's men watched all this quietly, then secretly withdrew and went back to report to the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager was surprised to hear that Zhang Bai was really capable. It seemed that this man was really useful.
After entering the imperial study, Song Jing dismissed everyone and left Zhang Bai behind.
"Shouldn't you be in the Empress Dowager's palace now? Why are you here?" Song Jing pointed at Zhang Bai's clothes, "and where did you steal the guard's uniform from?"
"Keep your voice down, don't let your uncle's people hear you." Zhang Bai hurriedly approached Song Jing and said in a low voice: "Do you want to do something big?"
Song Jing's eyes lit up. He knew Zhang Bai had an idea, and asked expectantly: "What are you going to do?"
Seeing Song Jing's interested look, Zhang Bai nodded with satisfaction, thinking that he was worthy of being the brother he had chosen.
As he spoke, he told him all his plans for this trip.
After hearing the entire plan, Song Jing and Zhang Bai looked at each other and clapped their hands, "The emperor's uncle and others will definitely look at us with admiration."
Little did the two young men know that from the moment Zhang Bai entered the imperial study, he had been watched by the shadow guards in the dark, who quietly informed Song Yizhou.
