Chapter 322 I Once Had a Dream
No wonder the headquarters of Tingyu Pavilion is in the clouds; it turns out the owner is the Queen of Loulan.
"So Jingchen is planning to find the truth for his family? In that case, it makes sense to give the letter to Lu Xun."
Yunxuan finally understood why Lu Xun had asked him to deliver the letter.
Wei Jingchen is searching for the truth behind the case of the King of Loulan. Their actions against the King of Yue will lead to a major upheaval in the court.
This may affect Wei Jingchen's plans.
As Wei Jingchen's man, Lu Xun naturally had to safeguard his master's interests.
etc.
"So Zhaozhao knows Jingchen's identity?"
Yunxuan frowned deeply; he didn't want his family to be involved in this matter any further.
"Zhao Zhao only knows that Jing Chen is Young Master Jun. Even my wife and children don't know about Jing Chen's other identity."
Of the entire Wei family, only Wei Mingde knew Wei Jingchen's true identity.
Even Bai Ling only regarded Wei Jingchen as the son of her husband's savior, and as an orphan from an ordinary family.
At this point, Wei Mingde reopened the letter he had just read.
"Actually, there's another meaning behind this letter," Jing Chen said. "The Ling family somehow found out about his identity."
He tried to get the King of Yue to win him over, but the King of Yue seemed to only know the true identity of the prince.
I didn't know he was Wei Jingchen, so I think if we want to sow discord between the Prince of Yue and the Ling family, we can use this as leverage."
Upon hearing Wei Mingde's words, Yunxuan immediately guessed what was written in the letter in her daughter's hand.
No wonder his daughter said that the Yuan family acted on their own initiative to kill those people from Liuxianlou.
Wei Jingchen wanted to clear his parents' names; he had no intention of rebelling.
But they all knew that the King of Yue was plotting a rebellion.
Since their paths diverged, they could not work together. Naturally, Wei Jingchen would not pay any attention to the King of Yue.
The Yuan family was never truly working for the King of Yue; the Yuan brothers took the secret letter and fled.
Seeing that the King of Yue actually believed the Ling family's nonsense, Yuan Shuchang naturally worried that the King of Yue would not be able to seize the supreme throne.
Whoever gets hold of the news that he is working for the King of Yue will surely face certain death.
So he decided to go all the way and simply silence all the people who knew the truth.
"Those members of the Yuan family should leave as soon as possible."
Yunxuan suggested.
"You're right. If Yuan Shuchang gets desperate, it's not impossible that he might wipe out the entire clan."
Xu Zhenbang had been stationed on the frontier for many years and had witnessed too much of this kind of killing.
Sometimes, people will do anything for profit.
"We'll probably have to ask some gangs in the martial arts world that have nothing to do with us for help with this."
They must not let Yuan Shuchang know that they are involved in this matter.
So, after discussing it, Lu Xun went out again early the next morning.
When Yun Zhao woke up groggily, he saw his father sitting by his bedside.
She looked up blankly and gave her father a smile.
It's so soft and fluffy, nestled in the blanket, it's absolutely adorable.
Seeing his daughter's adorable appearance, Yunxuan immediately lost his temper.
But for her daughter's safety, Yunxuan forced herself to keep a straight face.
“I spoke with Lord Wei last night and only then did I realize how many things you’ve been hiding from me.”
Um?
Yun Zhao was stunned for a moment.
A moment later, her hands, which were tucked under the covers, clenched tightly.
What does Father know?
"What else are you hiding from your father about Jingchen?"
What about Wei Jingchen?
Oh, that's what you were talking about!
She was terrified. She thought people would find out that she had killed the commander of the Imperial Guards and used rats to cause the death of the eldest son of the Qi family!
Yun Zhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feigning innocence, and softly said, "Father~"
"Being cute won't work! Jingchen's situation is complicated. Father knows you're intelligent, but there are some things Father won't tell you."
You guessed it, but since it concerns your safety, your father can't let you come."
My daughter is very smart; she can even speak animal language.
This is simply a gift.
However, the fact that Wei Jingchen was Wei Junyan's was itself a matter that could lead to his death.
The order was given by the late emperor. After the fall of the Loulan Kingdom, the late emperor passed away a few years later.
Now Wei Mingde also says that the case of the King of Loulan is probably a miscarriage of justice.
This involves border stability and military power in the northwest.
If someone truly framed him, then the person who framed the King of Loulan back then must still be alive.
And he holds a high position.
Wei Jingchen's existence was a major concern for that person.
It's possible that everyone who knows Wei Jingchen will suffer the calamity of having their entire family wiped out.
He wouldn't allow his daughter to get away with it like that.
"Father, is there any major problem with Brother Jingchen being Young Master Jun?"
Yun Zhao blinked, looking bewildered.
"This matter is quite complicated, as it involves the Ling family and the Prince of Yue. If it is not handled properly, it could lead to the extermination of the entire family. Therefore, you must tell your father anything you have to say and do not hide anything from him."
Yunxuan said earnestly.
Yun Zhao kept his head down and didn't look up for a long time.
Seeing his daughter's conflicted expression, Yunxuan was very patient.
After an unknown amount of time, Yun Zhao's hands, clenched tightly under the covers, turned white.
"Father, there's something I haven't told you yet. I once had a dream..."
A very, very long dream. In the dream, I didn't go home.
Instead, she remained at the Marquis of Dingyuan's residence, where her father and mother died as a result of someone else's scheme.
As for me, I was married off to the Marquis of Dingyuan's household in Huainan, where I almost died from the plague.
Fortunately, he was saved by his master and returned to the capital. However, at that time...
The Marquis of Dingyuan's family colluded with the rebel army to massacre the capital and plot to usurp the throne. Ling Xuerou then raped and killed her uncles.
In the end, I also died in that disaster. It was because I believed Ling Xuerou's lies that I caused everyone's deaths..."
Yun Zhao trembled uncontrollably as he recalled the scene.
Her poor uncles barely survived, only to be brutally murdered because of her.
Her family members were also murdered on the way to exile.
She had no idea where the body was or how it was murdered.
Seeing his daughter's trembling body, Yunxuan quickly picked her up.
"It's a dream, don't be afraid..."
"No, Father, that's not... that's very real!"
Moreover, many things in the dream came true, including the real and fake heiresses, the family's exile, and the plague in Jiangnan.
And... the fact that Brother Jingchen is actually Young Master Jun—I saw it all in my dream!
Yun Zhao gripped Yun Xuan's sleeve tightly, her vision blurred by tears.
She couldn't see her father's expression.
"Father, the day Ling Xuerou returned to the Dingyuan Marquis's residence, she said that our family would all be killed by a man named Wei Junyan."
She's trying to collude with Wei Junyan, and I'm terrified. Do you think Ling Xuerou will find that person?
I never dared to tell anyone, nor did I dare to let Ling Xuerou get close to our family, because I was afraid she would find that person to kill us!
Jingchen said that Ling Xuerou told the King of Yue that she had precognitive dreams.
If it's true, even if Wei Junyan doesn't want to kill us, he'll still be fooled by her, right?
What if that person actually believes Ling Xuerou?
Yun Zhao never killed Ling Xuerou. Initially, he didn't know who Wei Junyan was and wanted to keep Ling Xuerou around so she could make contact with him.
But when she realized that Wei Junyan was indeed Wei Junyan, she wanted nothing more than to kill Ling Xuerou immediately.
As long as Wei Junyan doesn't fall in love with Ling Xuerou, he won't kill her whole family for her sake.
But after thinking about it for a long time, she realized that Wei Jingchen was a very good person. Even if he changed a lot, he would not kill her, whom he regarded as his sister, for Ling Xuerou's sake.
Therefore, there must be some reason for this.
Perhaps it is related to the case of the King of Loulan!
There are many things about the royal family that Yun Zhao doesn't know.
Perhaps Yunxuan will know this!
