"Master has a senior sister named Zixing. Master is called Lanxing in her sect. The two grew up together and were the best doctors in Xinglan back then. However, Master is kind and gentle, and his talent is even greater than that wicked woman Zixing."
Therefore, the sect leader at the time wanted his master to inherit Xinglan and passed on all of Xinglan's sect treasures to his master. Zixing was naturally unwilling and wanted to compete with her master. Coincidentally, at that time, her master met and fell in love with another man.
Zi Xing then used this man to somehow make everyone at the time think that he was a spy who came to Xinglan to seduce her master in order to steal Xinglan's treasure.
My master escaped from Xinglan with him and me to protect him. Later, that Zi Xing accused my master of being a traitor to Xinglan and has been searching for her ever since.
As the man reminisced about the past, hatred occasionally flickered in his eyes, revealing just how much he loathed the woman named Zixing.
Su Liluo listened with great confusion. Could that man be her father?
Thinking this way, she asked the same question, but her answer was rejected.
"No, that man is the current Regent!"
What!
Regent!
Su Liluo felt a buzzing in her ears. How could it be the Regent?
Did her mother fall in love with the regent?
That......
Che Yi is...
Su Liluo guessed this possibility, and her heart began to pound wildly, her breathing became erratic.
"Was my mother ever married to the Regent? Was the Regent's legitimate son born to my mother?"
After the initial shock, Su Liluo tried to calm herself down and asked the man.
The man nodded calmly, "Yes, my master once married the regent, but the regent betrayed her for the sake of power."
In order to marry the princess, he demoted his master to a concubine. The master and the princess could not get along in the regent's palace, and the regent ignored the master's suffering. The master was hurt by the princess time and time again, and finally escaped.
Originally, I wanted to go with my master, but at that time my master knew that he might not be able to protect me, so he sent me to the Imperial Hospital in the palace to study at a young age.
I was an orphan. My master saved me and taught me medicine. His kindness is as heavy as a mountain. All these years, I have been searching for his whereabouts.
"I see."
Su Lilu sighed with a complicated expression.
After hearing what he said next, Su Liluo gradually understood what had happened.
She thought that her mother must have met Su Zhen on the battlefield after escaping from the Regent's Palace, and then remarried Su Zhen and gave birth to her.
So everything makes sense, and Che Yi is his half-sibling.
She is Che Yi's younger sister.
"By the way, how did you end up in the Northern Desert? Who did Master marry later, and how was she doing elsewhere?"
At this moment, the man began to question Su Liluo again.
Seeing the man's concerned expression, Su Liluo really didn't want to tell him that her mother had also had a bad life after marrying into the Su family, so she picked out the good things to tell him.
Of course, she didn't hide the fact that the second branch of the Su family was an accomplice in her mother's death and that she had already taken revenge.
After hearing this, the man's eyes welled up with tears, and he remained silent for a long time before looking at Su Liluo again.
"Junior sister, please allow me to call you that. My name is Chen Anzhi. If you ever need my help in the future, please feel free to ask me for assistance. My life was saved by Master, so I will also help Master take good care of and protect you."
"Okay, then I'll call you senior brother!"
Su Liluo did not refuse.
After all, Chen Anzhi had indeed helped her before, and after several interactions, Su Liluo could clearly sense that this man was a kind person who knew how to repay kindness, and that he had some understanding of Xinglan, so he might be able to help her in the future.
Through her conversation with Chen Anzhi, she was certain that the person hiding behind the scenes back in Daliang who sent Qin Shuang and Yi Lan to her side was this woman named Zi Xing.
The poison her mother suffered came from her, so she was also her mother's killer. Once she had dealt with the situation in the Northern Desert, she would definitely seek revenge when she returned.

"Did Your Highness really come out of the eldest son's courtyard with a livid face today? Did you hear the two of them arguing?"
The Regent's Palace.
The Regent's wife was leisurely fiddling with her nail polish inside the room, while casually asking the servants questions.
"Yes, but I only heard the prince roaring and getting angry. The eldest son's voice was very calm. When the prince left, I also saw the eldest son go to that Miss Chu's room. He stared at their backs for a while before leaving."
The servant answered honestly.
"Yeah?"
The Regent's wife sighed softly, then a calculating glint appeared in her eyes.
It seems Gao Yuanbin really didn't disappoint him; he truly has deep feelings for that woman from Daliang.
Now, given the Regent's suspicions, he must feel that this woman has too much influence on his son and is thinking of getting rid of her!
Since that's the case, why don't I lend him a hand?
Given Gao Yuanbin's personality, the father-son relationship between the two would be irreparably damaged by then.
"Lü'e, come here..."
Thinking this, the Regent's wife called over a maidservant and whispered instructions in her ear.
"Yes, this servant will go right away."
After hearing this, the maid bowed slightly and then walked out of the room.

"Miss Chu, this is a black-boned chicken, mushroom, and goji berry soup that the kitchen has prepared for you. It's meant to nourish your body and tastes delicious with a sweet flavor."
During dinner, the maid who came from the kitchen to deliver the food greeted us with a warm smile and introduced the dishes.
Then, a table full of delicacies was quickly laid out on Chu Yan's table.
These days, since Che Yi rescued her from the water prison, the food she eats here has been pretty good, but today it's even more plentiful.
The aroma of chicken soup filled Chu Yan's nostrils, and her stomach rumbled softly twice.
"Yes, thank you for your hard work."
She did not refuse.
So many days have passed, and there's been no sign of anything happening, so she never suspected there was anything wrong with the food.
"Go and call the eldest young master over!"
After the kitchen staff left, Chu Yan gave instructions to her maid.
There was so much food that she definitely couldn't finish it all by herself, so she thought of sharing it with Che Yi.
"Che Yi, the kitchen said that this black chicken soup is for me tonight, and they told me to nourish myself. Did you say something to the kitchen these past two days?"
Chu Yan ladled out a bowl of chicken soup, first giving it to Che Yi, and then ladling one for herself.
She assumed that Che Yi had given the order, which was why the kitchen staff were suddenly being so friendly.
"I didn't give any instructions to the kitchen."
Gao Yuanbin frowned slightly.
He was wondering why the kitchen suddenly said that, but before he could figure it out, he suddenly saw Chu Yan's face turn purple and she collapsed to the ground with a thud.
