Chapter 397 Dayi's Brother
When they came to attack, Chonglou followed Feng Aoqing's instructions and wrote a letter to Lin Ziyu in the name of the head of the town. He did not ask for help, but warned them that there would be risks on the border.
Feng Aoqing did this because she was considering the general.
She didn't understand Lin Ziyu, and she was afraid that Lin Ziyu didn't know that the town belonged to the general, so it was better not to tell him directly, and just say that there was a problem on the border.
Lin Ziyu would not sit idly by, because no one knew whether Nankang wanted to seize Tougu Town or to provoke Yuanwu Jingtong City. He had to find out the truth.
Zhu Mingbo knew the situation in Tougu Town. If he could see it clearly, he would not leave. It would be perfect if he could facilitate this assistance.
It would neither let out the fact that Tougu Town belonged to the general nor would it resolve the crisis in Tougu Town.
In fact, Zhu Mingbo didn't need to get involved. Lin Ziyu had heard about this before he received the letter and was sending people to inquire about the news.
After receiving the letter, he had the most accurate information. He was ready to mobilize the garrison he could to assist Tougu Town and repel the Nankang army.
This warning must be given, otherwise Nankang will feel that Jingtong City dares not confront it.
But at this moment, Lin Ziyan became seriously ill.
She could no longer speak, only her eyes could move, looking at her brother with tears in her eyes.
Cai'er was crying beside the bed and was almost dying. Lin Ziyu knew that they had a very good relationship.
He asked hurriedly: "Cai'er, what happened?"
Cai Er held Lin Zi Yan's hand and said, "My Lord, the young lady was not feeling well when she came back, and she has been even worse these past few days. I think the people from Tougu Town poisoned her!"
Lin Ziyu was shocked. This was the first time he heard of someone using poison. But if he knew medicine, he must know how to poison people. And it seemed that his technique was quite advanced. He waited until they got home to use the poison so as to distance himself from her.
So it turns out that this world's vicious and beautiful women are really like this.
"Sir, what should we do now? What should the young lady do?" Cai'er asked.
"I'll have someone call in the best doctor from Jingtong City. She's so careless about human life, I won't let her go!"
Lin Ziyu had something important on his mind, so he turned around and was about to leave.
Although he was very reluctant to leave his sister, he had no choice but to arrange these things and accompany his sister later.
Cai Er hugged his legs tightly and said, "Where are you going at this time? You can't just leave the young lady alone!"
"I have business to attend to!"
"Sir, do you still want to save Tougu Town? Didn't I tell you what kind of people are in there? Once the town is destroyed by Nankang, wouldn't it be a disaster for the people?" Cai'er shouted.
She also knew about this matter, and it was not surprising, because the news that Nankang City was gathering troops to attack Tougu Town had already spread throughout the city.
Lin Ziyu pushed Cai'er away and shouted, "What do you know? I'm not going to save Tougu Town, I'm going to save Jingtong City! If Tougu Town is gone, Jingtong City will be in danger. You're just a woman, so you don't understand. Don't stop me, or I won't stay!"
Lin Ziyu is devoted to the country, and his loyalty to the emperor is evident to all.
Cai'er did not succeed.
She looked at Lin Ziyu's resolute back and said to Lin Ziyan, who was dying on the bed, "Look, in the end, you are also a useless person. You can neither go to the emperor to avenge your parents, nor stop your brother from saving Tougu Town. What is the point of living in this life?"
Cai'er had a sinister look on her face, ready to make one last attempt.
She stood up, and Lin Ziyan, not knowing where she got the strength from, grabbed her skirt.
"No......"
"Don't worry, I know you two have a deep brotherly love. Don't worry, just like how you feel now, it won't be too painful!" Cai'er smiled.
She wanted to pry Lin Ziyan's hands apart, but Lin Ziyan held them very tightly, so she had to use force to pry open each of her fingers.
She was in a hurry, so she pinched Lin Ziyan's chin with her left hand, forcing her to open her mouth, and poured some powder into her mouth with her right hand.
Cai'er sprinkled a handful of the same medicine powder into the incense burner on the table.
Lin Ziyan watched her do these things but was powerless to resist. Her hands dropped weakly and she closed her eyes.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that she was wrong, and all the kindness that Feng Aoqing and Chonglou had shown her came to her mind one by one.
She regretted so much that if she had not left Tougu Town, she might not have died.
She thought of her brother, her father and her mother again.
She regretted it so much. If she hadn't wanted revenge, she might not have died.
Lin Ziyan doesn't like the emperor. She wants to be with the emperor to avenge her parents.
My father openly opposed the Three Prime Ministers in order to enable the emperor to accomplish things independently. How could the Three Prime Ministers let him go?
But when his father was framed by the three prime ministers, the emperor did not plead for him, even to the extent of removing him from office to save his life.
Lord Lin was beheaded in the street, and when his head and body were separated, he still cursed the three treacherous ministers in front of the people.
But the emperor didn't even go to deliver it, but all this was for him!
After her father died, her mother told others that he died of illness, but in fact he never drank a sip of water or took a bite of food, and starved himself to death in bed.
The two siblings became orphans from then on, and grew up in various families in the family, being looked down upon.
In her dreams every night, she was still a little girl watching an execution in the crowd, watching her father's head roll from the stage to the ground.
In her dreams every night, she is still the daughter kneeling in front of her mother's bed, begging her for a bite of food. Her mother looks haggard and can only express her grievances with her eyes.
But her brother, influenced by their father, was determined to help the emperor.
Foolish loyalty!
So this revenge has to be avenged by her daughter.
Lin Ziyan didn’t dislike Zhu Mingbo. On the contrary, she liked him very much and she also wanted to marry Zhu Mingbo.
In this way, she can live a life of wealth and glory without worries.
However, she could not get over this hurdle. She could not forget her father and mother who appeared in her dreams every night.
So she let Cai'er poison her eyes to avoid marrying Zhu Mingbo, and waited for the opportunity, hoping that one day she could enter the palace and be with Yu Tingfeng.
But unexpectedly, Yu Tingfeng had said since he took over the government that he would not marry any Yuanwu woman. His queen would not be controlled by her mother's family, and of course, she would not use her mother's family to influence him.
Moreover, he always put state affairs first and had no interest in women. He had no intention of taking a concubine. When a court official brought up the matter, he directly dismissed the person from his post. From then on, no one dared to mention the matter again.
So Lin Ziyan could only continue to wait, but what she got was him looking at her sideways for Feng Aoqing.
It turns out that it’s not that he’s not interested in women, but that he hasn’t found anyone who’s interested.
There is nothing now.
Lin Ziyan only realized until her death that Cai'er was using her. She was a Nankang person and a needle placed by Nankang Country next to her brother.
