Xie Zhou
After moving into the Lin Mansion, Lin Yan asked the servants in the mansion to take turns guarding Lin Yi, and to call Lin Yan whenever Lin Yi made any movement.
Zhong Ningning said that Lin Yi's unconscious self-harming behavior is a disease, which will become more serious if it continues for a long time. Fortunately, it has not reached that point yet.
Lin Yan lit the incense specially made by Zhong Ningning in Lin Yi's room to relieve Lin Yi's tense nerves.
If Lin Yiruo fell ill, Lin Yan would give Lin Yiruo a few injections as Zhong Ningning had instructed, and then feed him the medicine prescribed by Aning.
If this continues, Lin Yi's illness will gradually improve.
Of course, some exercise is essential.
Aning said that Lin Yi’s health is too poor now, which is not conducive to his recovery.
Lin Yan is good at this. It is not easy to strengthen Lin Yi's physique. He makes Lin Yi run around Yong'an Lane for an hour every day, and then lets him fight with himself. In fact, he is unilaterally crushed by Lin Yan.
Lin Yi didn’t know whether he had recovered from his illness during this period, but he felt like his bones were about to fall apart.
Although he is not cut out for martial arts, he has been abused by his father since he was a child, so his physical condition is still good. However, he has experienced so much in recent years, and his health is not as good as before. He hasn't been so tired for many years.
Every time Lin Yi wanted to stop, but seeing his elder sister holding a sword and staring at him with her intimidating eyes, Lin Yi had no choice but to continue to follow the arrangements.
Lin Yan saw that Lin Yi's attacks became less and less frequent, and his sleepwalking at night became less and less frequent, and he was very satisfied with his actions.
After Lin Yan moved out, Zhong Ningning came to the Lin Mansion every day. Of course, Lin Yan had this intention so that she could keep an eye on An Ning no matter what happened to her.
Zhong Ningning told Lin Yan everything that her mother had told her about Lin Yi.
Lin Yan was not surprised that Lin Yi could do what he did when he was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Lin Yi had shown his extraordinary observation skills since he was a child, and solving cases was easy for him.
But what made Lin Yan wonder was why the regent helped him so much.
Fortunately, Lin Yi was well prepared and told Lin Yan the words he had thought of in the morning: "The Regent has a keen eye for talent and is good at employing people. He knows that I am capable, and because he compensated me for the cheating in the imperial examination, that's why he reused me."
Lin Yan pretended to believe his excuse. Didn't she know what kind of person Lin Yi was? He kept talking nonsense and rubbed his hands when she was nervous.
But Lin Yi didn't say anything, and Lin Yan didn't ask any more questions. He would naturally say it when he wanted to.
Zhong Ningning has become familiar with Lin Yi as she has been visiting the Lin Mansion frequently recently. Although after listening to her mother's description of Lin Yi, Zhong Ningning really cannot connect this Lin Yi with the rumored vicious Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.
Because Lin Yi was really, really too much of a scoundrel. As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, Zhong Ningning couldn't help but argue with him.
Zhong Ningning couldn't win the argument with Lin Yi, so her way of revenge was to make Lin Yi's medicine even more bitter, as bitter as it could be.
Lin Yi couldn't stand the medicine every time and suspected that Zhong Ningning was cheating him, but he had no evidence.
Lin Yi's treatment went very smoothly, and nothing happened with Zhong Yuxi recently, so everything was very peaceful.
But Lin Yi was in trouble because Song Yizhou kept causing trouble for him.
One day, Lin Yi returned home from court. As soon as he entered the house, Lin Yan took him to her yard.
Lin Yi was a little confused. Seeing this courtyard full of luxury, he felt like the sky was falling.
When Lin Yi was leaving the court, Song Yizhou put his hand on his shoulder and said, "I'll add some things to your house, no need to thank me."
Looking at the dazed Lin Yi, Lin Yan pointed at the mirror and said, "Isn't this a Western product?" He then pointed at the bed and said, "This is made of rosewood that is worth a fortune."
Looking around, everything in this house, oh no, this yard is priceless.
Lin Yan looked into Lin Yi's eyes and said, "When did you become so rich? You bought so many things. Are you a corrupt official?"
Lin Yi had no idea that the yard would become like this.
"These were all given by the prince before. I thought you would like them, so I moved them out." Lin Yi was a little numb and even wanted to confess, but he held back.
After hearing Lin Yi's words, Lin Yan was speechless for a while, "Could this prince be a homosexual, he is so good to you."
Lin Yi trembled as he listened and didn't dare to speak.
But Lin Yan really liked it, so he didn't ask too much.
Looking at Lin Yan who was looking at the decorations in the house with curiosity, Lin Yi considered his tone and spoke carefully: "Sister, do you still remember Xie Zhou?"
Lin Yan paused as he was touching the vase and asked, "Why are you mentioning it?"
Lin Yi had his back to Lin Yan and couldn't see Lin Yan's expression clearly.
"I want to ask, sister, if you meet him one day, will you forgive him for leaving without saying goodbye?" Lin Yi asked carefully.
Lin Yan took a deep breath, controlled his expression, turned to Lin Yi and said, "I haven't seen him for eight years and I almost forgot about him. In my eyes, he died eight years ago."
Then he sneered and said: "I once thought he was our family, but later, he chose to leave without saying goodbye and has not appeared until now. In his eyes, we are not family."
Lin Yi didn't dare to speak. After a moment of silence, Lin Yan began to drive people away: "Okay, I'm sleepy and want to sleep. You go away."
"Then sister, you have a good rest. I'm leaving." Lin Yi looked back at Lin Yan every few steps until he closed the door.
After Lin Yi left, he did not return to his yard, but went out.
Prince Regent's Palace
Song Yizhou was not surprised to see Lin Yilai, and casually invited Lin Yi to sit down.
Lin Yi looked at Song Yizhou's lazy appearance, feeling depressed, and asked with a dark face: "Are you going to kill me today?"
Song Yizhou poured a cup of tea and handed it to Lin Yi, "No way, wouldn't Ah Yan like seeing those things?"
"I like you," Lin Yi couldn't deny, "but if my sister knew that I knew your whereabouts and I didn't tell her, she would definitely kill me."
Seeing Song Yizhou's calm demeanor, Lin Yi recalled his elder sister's expression when she heard Xie Zhou, and evil thoughts arose in his mind.
"Song Yizhou, I mentioned Xie Zhou in front of my sister today. Guess what she said."
Song Yizhou paused while drinking tea, pretended to be calm and asked, "What did she say?"
"My sister said that she had forgotten you a long time ago. In her heart, you had died eight years ago."
"Snap" the teacup in Song Yizhou's hand fell to the ground, and the tea spread on the ground.
Seeing him like this, Lin Yi stopped stabbing him and sighed helplessly.
He advised: "I'm telling you, my elder sister is clearly in the capital, why don't you recognize her? If she knew the truth that you left without saying goodbye, she would definitely not blame you."
"I... The matter in the capital is not yet resolved. If Ah Yan gets involved with me, it will only be dangerous."
"What kind of excuse is that?" Lin Yi said speechlessly, "If Sister were to take charge of the Nanshan Sect alone, her martial arts skills would be far stronger than they were eight years ago. If you were afraid of implicating Sister before, I could understand. But now, where is there any danger? I don't think you dare to do that."
“Yeah, I don’t dare to see her.”
Lin Yi didn't expect Song Yizhou to admit it like this. His heart choked, and then he sighed and said, "Yizhou, think about it carefully. Maybe your sister will forgive you. I won't say anything more. I'm going home to sleep."
Lin Yi left the Regent's Palace and looked back at the gate. He actually had something else to say.
Having not seen his elder sister for five years, Lin Yi always felt that his elder sister seemed a little different now. She became more calm and not as carefree as she was in childhood.
How has my sister been doing these past few years? Lin Yi looked up at the sky and sighed.
Song Yizhou looked at the moon outside the window. For eight years, he had been thinking about her day and night and wanted to see her all the time.
After his father passed away, he never returned to the capital. In the Valley of Divine Doctors, in Nanshan, in the rivers and lakes, and with A'an, Song Yizhou felt extremely happy.
At that time, Song Yizhou just wanted to stay with Lin Yan for the rest of his life.
But God seemed to always be playing jokes on him. When Song Yizhou was sixteen years old, the palace suddenly suffered an accident and the emperor passed away.
Before his death, the emperor sent a secret decree, appointing him as regent and giving him the token of the Jinwu Guard and the tiger talisman, hoping that he could assist the crown prince to ascend the throne smoothly until the crown prince was able to stand on his own.
Song Yizhou's father and His Majesty are brothers from the same mother. Moreover, half of his life was given to him by the emperor in exchange for a promise made by his father, so he had to go.
When he received the secret decree, he was accompanying Lin Yan on her sixteenth birthday. The emperor passed away that night.
Song Yizhou chose to leave without saying goodbye, because at that time he felt that he might never see Lin Yan again, and he might not come back alive if he went to the capital.
When the emperor passed away, he passed the throne to the crown prince, who was the eldest son of the late crown prince. However, the empress was not the crown prince's biological grandmother. The crown prince's biological grandmother, Empress Mingde, died after giving birth to the late crown prince.
The emperor did not appoint another empress after Empress Mingde passed away. At that time, Concubine Shu petitioned to raise the crown prince on her own initiative and let her own son, the third prince, go to the border to fight.
Shufei was very kind to the crown prince and took care of him like his own grandson. The emperor, in recognition of her kindness in raising the crown prince, made her the empress.
After the emperor's death, the other princes became restless.
At that time, the third prince, Concubine Shu's biological son, also known as Prince Jing, started a rebellion and was unstoppable. He almost broke into the capital. Song Yizhou didn't know whether he could defeat him.
Song Yizhou knew that if Lin Yan knew his situation, he would definitely want to help him. He didn't want to get Lin Yan involved, so he left without saying a word and left quietly.
The third prince had been fighting at the border for many years and had a strong army. It took three years to quell the rebellion.
The Crown Prince was only ten years old at that time and was unable to fight against his uncles who were as fierce as wolves and tigers. There was chaos in the court and fighting on the border, and Song Yizhou could not leave.
In this way, Song Yizhou was trapped in the capital for eight years because of the secret decree.
To explain how Lin Yi knew that the current regent Song Yizhou was Xie Zhou's son, we have to start from five years ago.
Five years ago, Lin Yi was still in prison, and Song Yizhou was still fighting with Prince Jing.
The court was in need of people, and Song Yizhou thought of Lin Yi. He had known since he was a child that Lin Yi was a natural for officialdom, and he naturally knew his talents.
But there was no sign of Lin Yi in the capital for a long time. He thought it was impossible that Lin Yi could not even pass the imperial examination, so he sent people to find out where Lin Yi was.
It turned out that he was in the cell.
So the place where the two met for the first time after several years was in the prison. Song Yizhou immediately released the man and executed the entire family of the impostor.
Lin Yi was also surprised when he saw Song Yizhou, but he didn't say anything at that time. He just wanted to go home to see his father, so Song Yizhou certainly didn't stop him.
After learning of his father's death, Lin Yi returned to the capital in despair. He remembered Lin Yan's words that his father wanted him to become a high-ranking official, so he continued to take the imperial examinations to fulfill his father's wish.
With Song Yizhou's support, his career as an official was smooth.
Later, when Prince Jing's rebellion was quelled, Lin Yi turned the capital upside down and offended officials of all ranks.
Especially those nobles, Lin Yan investigated them carefully. Any officials, royal relatives or nobles involved in corruption were investigated thoroughly by him.
The reason for doing this is, firstly, because Song Yizhou had his intention. The affairs of Prince Jing in recent years have made the court like a pool of muddy water. Secondly, Lin Yi wanted to avenge himself. If these scum of the court were dealt with, fewer people in this world would be persecuted.
Lin Yi's behavior will always attract countless assassinations. The shadow guard in his house is actually Song Yizhou's man, otherwise he would have died eight hundred times already.
As for Song Yizhou, he had been at the center of power for eight whole years. The treacherous capital city had worn him down to pieces.
Everyone in the capital said that the Regent Song Yizhou was cruel and ruthless, even killing his own brothers.
What he feared most was the strange look in Lin Yan's eyes when he saw him like this.
Lin Yan is still the same Lin Yan, but Xie Zhou is no longer the same Xie Zhou.
In fact, the two had met in the past eight years. Three years ago, Song Yizhou went to look for Lin Yan.
But when he thought of Lin Yan who was dying on the ice bed of the genius doctor Gu, Song Yizhou wished he could cut himself into pieces. It was him who put Yan's peaceful life in danger. He deserved to die.
Wait a little longer, until he finishes everything, then I can go look for A'yan without any scruples.
Song Yizhou sat by the window all night and couldn't sleep.
