In the evening, Su Jinyao came to find Linlang, "That Gu Yuanfang is quite capable. He actually became the person close to Princess Huasheng and returned to the capital in a high-profile manner."
Given Gu Yuanfang's petty and vindictive nature, he would definitely cause trouble for the Marquis of Anchang and the Marquis of Dongping.
The Su family thought of this, but they were not worried at all. The Anchang Marquisate had never been afraid of anyone. Even if Princess Huasheng came forward in person, they would not be afraid of her.
Linlang decided to tell Su Jinyao about her past life. "Fourth brother, I had a dream. It seemed like my past life. Many things were completely different from what I'm experiencing now. But the only thing that hasn't changed is that Gu Yuanfang has always been against us. And in the dream, she took refuge with the Fourth Prince and Consort Shu, and the Anchang Marquis's family was destroyed."
"And in the dream, Jing Dynasty became a vassal state of Northern Qi, lost its land in the south, and the fourth prince sat on the throne. Princess Huasheng and Concubine Jin were the fourth prince's people. Many years later, the Anchang Marquis Mansion and the Dingguo Duke Mansion no longer existed, and the Dongping Marquis Mansion became Gu Yuanfang's residence."
Linlang whispered to Su Jinyao, "I suspect the emperor was poisoned last time because the Fourth Prince colluded with the Northern Qi people. Unfortunately, I don't have any evidence, so I dare not say it."
Su Jinyao knew that his sister would never talk nonsense and everything she said was true. If that was the case, he would not care about Jing Chao and would protect his family first.
"I believe what my sister said is true. After I go back, I will discuss countermeasures with my father and eldest brother. You must not tell these words to anyone else." This is of great importance. Su Jinyao is afraid that his sister will be killed.
Linlang said, "I have to tell Amu."
"It's okay to tell Ah Mu. Husband and wife shouldn't have secrets. He's tight-lipped and won't tell anyone. He might even be able to give me some advice." Su Jinyao told Linlang, "You might not know this yet, but it was Ah Mu who told the old priest and me about the Five Food Powder. The old priest and my eldest brother sent people to investigate and collect evidence, and then presented it to the emperor. That's why it was resolved so quickly and cleanly."
Linlang suddenly realized, "No wonder Ah Mu knew so much about the Five Food Powder. It turns out he was the first to discover it. During that time, the old priest often came to visit Ah Mu. I thought they were discussing academic matters, but it turned out they were discussing this."
"Don't blame Amu for not telling you. He was thinking about your pregnancy and didn't want you to worry about other things."
Su Jinyao spread his hands and said, "In the end, three people were seriously injured, and you had to take action. Fortunately, they were all saved. This further confirms your medical skills. You are now a well-known figure in the capital."
Linlang never seeks for fame. She feels a great sense of accomplishment when she cures one more patient.
She said, "Fortunately, everything has been resolved. Otherwise, the Jing Dynasty would have been disintegrated bit by bit from within by the Northern Qi Dynasty. The younger generation would have been ruined, and there would have been no future to talk about."
Su Jinyao agreed and said, "You've been in the capital for a long time, it's time to go visit your family. When are you planning to go to the Marquis' Mansion with Amu and the others?"
"Next day off." There are not as many patients now as before, but I still have to see patients. I can't let them make a wasted trip. Sometimes there is an emergency, which can be a matter of life and death.
The brother and sister agreed, and Su Jinyao said goodbye and left, "There will be many distinguished guests coming to the capital recently. You should stay at home and go out less to avoid running into those ignorant people."
"knew."
"Father and eldest brother are helping with the Wanshou Festival and may not be able to come. If you have anything, please ask your fourth brother."
Linlang walked him to the door and said, "Okay, if you need anything, please find Fourth Brother."
That night, Linlang asked Ah Mu about the Five Food Powder. Ah Mu confessed, "You had just come out of the palace and were already tired. I couldn't bear to let other things disturb your rest, so I didn't tell you. I just made some suggestions on this matter. The rest was handled by the teacher and big brother, so it's better not to say anything."
Linlang snorted, "How many people know about the Five Food Powder? They choose not to read it, or even indulge in it. If you hadn't brought it up and asked the old priest and big brother to investigate, how many people would still be being led into it right now?"
Linlang hugged Amu's waist and said, "It doesn't matter if others don't know. In my heart, my Amu is a great hero. After going through so many hardships, you still maintain your original intention. It's so rare. I will cherish you."
Ah Mu reached out and hugged Lin Lang, "I don't care what others think, as long as my wife knows that I understand, loves, and cares about me, that's all."
"Of course I love you and care about you." Linlang pulled Amu to sit down. "Amu, do you believe in past lives and present lives?"
"I believe my wife, didn't she say that our marriage is a fate from past and present lives? My wife has something to say, and I'm listening."
As soon as Linlang asked, Amu knew she had something to say. He looked at Linlang quietly, waiting for her to tell the story. He always believed every word Linlang said unconditionally.
Linlang took Ah Mu's hand and placed it on her swollen belly. "After I spent my wedding night with you at the Li family, I had a very long dream. In that dream, our ending, including that of my family, was very tragic. When I woke up from the dream, Li Guangping and his men were about to throw you into the river. It was exactly the same thing that happened in my dream..."
Without reservation, Linlang summarized the events of her past life and told Amu everything.
Ah Mu felt sorry for Lin Lang after hearing this. "I let you and your child escape. I'm sorry for not being able to be with you. Don't worry, Lin Lang, I will always be by your side and protect you."
He hugged Linlang in his arms and said, "You have suffered so much, yet you have raised your son so well. You are truly remarkable. I will repay Li Guangping and Gu Yuanfang double for the evil they have done."
"Well, Gu Yuanfang is back in the capital again, and has become Princess Huasheng's close servant. It's a bit tricky. If she knew I was in the capital, she would definitely find ways to take revenge on me."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"I'm not afraid. Even if Princess Huasheng makes trouble for me, I have things to protect myself." The golden medal of immunity from death given by the emperor is still there. At worst, I can take it with me when the time comes.
"Well, if it really doesn't work, let father take action." Amu told Linlang that Princess Huasheng was obsessed with Xiao Zhensheng and refused to marry anyone else, which caused a lot of trouble. Unfortunately, the emperor still did not agree.
If the princess married Xiao Zhensheng, he would no longer be able to guard the southern border for the emperor. The emperor couldn't afford to give up such a great general. Besides, if you marry my sister and I marry yours, it would seem like a marriage swap, which is inappropriate.
Linlang's eyes widened. She had never thought that Duke Dingguo would have such a bad love affair. "Father hasn't been here recently. I wonder how things are going over there?"
"Father came this afternoon, and things at the mansion have been mostly sorted out. The lady is truly ill. I heard she often breaks out in rashes and has difficulty breathing, but they can't find the cause."
Ah Mu told Linlang the reason and jokingly said, "Father is torturing her by boiling her in warm water. I heard that the people in the lady's courtyard have almost all been replaced."
She must be under house arrest. Linlang asked, "What about the real lady? Has she revealed any information?"
