Chapter 370 Face to face
Sure enough, the woman who had an affair with King Zhao was Chen Lihua.
This discovery did not cause much waves in Lin Pianran's heart. Everything was within her expectations.
Lin Pianran stared at the letter sent by Huo Yuchen, her thoughts gradually drifting away and she fell into deep thought.
She was thinking about Chen Lihua's next move in her mind.
What would Chen Lihua do if something happened at the Zhao Palace? She couldn't just watch her plan fail and the children be slaughtered, could she?
Will she fight to the death or take advantage of the opportunity to rebel?
Or maybe he returned to the capital with other plans?
Or should I pretend that I know nothing and continue to grow old alone in the villa?
After much thought, Lin Pianran felt that Chen Lihua had been planning this for her entire life and would never give up. She must have other plans.
Now that things happened suddenly and were imminent, it was estimated that she would soon implement the next plan.
Lin Pianran felt that Chen Lihua was out of reach in the villa, and only by returning to the capital could she rescue her children and better implement her plan to covet the throne.
But how to return to Beijing? I need a very reasonable reason.
Otherwise, it would be unreasonable for a deposed queen to return to Beijing. The spit of those court ministers alone would make Chen Lihua unable to move forward and afraid to act rashly.
Let’s see what Chen Lihua will do!
Lin Pianran was still very much looking forward to it.
This drama is absolutely wonderful and fascinating...
She and Huo Yuchen only need to wait and see what happens, and respond accordingly. At the critical moment, they can even take advantage of others' misfortunes, kill with borrowed knives, and create something out of nothing...
It is definitely possible to play them all around in circles, and they won’t even know how they died.
At this moment, another shadow guard returned quietly, carrying the latest intelligence.
"Miss, the middle-aged couple who sent money to Han Zimo actually sneaked into Qingshi Town and entered a very secluded large courtyard."
"There were over thirty people hiding in that courtyard, all led by an old man in his sixties or seventies."
When Lin Pianran heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, like the brightest stars in the night sky.
It really is true that hard work pays off. All the waiting and hard work have paid off at this moment.
This trip was worth it after all. I returned with a lot of gains and it was worth the trip.
The old general is indeed as cunning as a fox and very shrewd. I thought he would only take action in Yaocheng!
However, no one expected that he would bypass Yaocheng and sneak into Qingshi Town, preparing to take action there.
If they want to rescue Han Zimo, they will definitely do it tonight, or tomorrow night at the latest.
Otherwise, they would have no choice but to follow the exile team and continue westward to look for opportunities again.
Lin Pianran guessed that they would definitely not go far away, and taking action now was the best opportunity.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have hidden his whereabouts and hid here.
Lin Pianran turned his horse around and returned to Qingshi Town, heading straight for the yard where the old general was.
It was already dark when we arrived at the yard.
There were dozens of martial arts masters hiding around the courtyard, but they had all been wiped out by Lin Pianran's secret guards and black cloud guards.
Now, only the old general and his family are left in the yard.
The small courtyard is surrounded by lush mountains and forests, immersed in tranquility. Only the occasional clear bird calls, like the sound of nature, penetrate the tranquility, melodious and beautiful, adding a bit of vitality to this quiet world.
The courtyard is now filled with a warm and noisy atmosphere, as if even the air is dancing with joyful notes.
In the distance, you can faintly hear the crisp playfulness and innocent laughter of two or three children.
It really is a happy and healthy life with three generations living under one roof!
Lin Pianran's eyes were like winter ice, extremely cold, and even filled with strong sarcasm.
Her thoughts drifted away as she recalled her father and second uncle, those heroic figures who fought bloody battles on the border. They had fought on the battlefield for many years, but their glory and achievements were stolen by this group of despicable people in front of her, who were enjoying a glamorous life that did not belong to them and were living a prosperous life.
This made Lin Pianran feel depressed, and an indescribable depression surged like a tide.
Lin Pianran felt really sorry for her father who was willing to defend his country to the death for the sake of national justice but was a little confused.
Han Chaolin's eyes were wide open, his pupils seemed to be ignited by anger, and turned red.
His eyes were fixed on the center of the yard, where a kind-faced old man was gently playing and having fun with a boy about three years old.
A dazzling smile bloomed on the old man's face, and the happiness and kindness on his face were so dazzling.
A surge of anger suddenly rose in Han Chaolin's heart, and this fiery emotion instantly swept through his body.
Who could have imagined that this old man with a kind smile actually had the face of a complete villain?
I just want to take off his ugly mask and let his unknown ugly side be revealed to everyone as soon as possible.
At Lin Pianran's command, the secret guards silently surrounded the entire courtyard, making it airtight. Not even a mosquito could fly out.
Then he walked slowly into the yard, shoulder to shoulder with Han Chaolin.
When the people in the yard saw two unfamiliar faces suddenly breaking in, they felt as if they were in an empty space and became alert.
They all gathered together, young and old, staring at Lin Pianran and Han Chaolin who suddenly broke in. When they saw the majestic, armored guards behind them, their expressions became more solemn.
The old general standing in the first place suddenly felt something was wrong. It was obvious that these people had bad intentions.
Unexpectedly, Han Chaolin slowly stepped forward and respectfully performed a junior salute with an almost pious attitude.
"Grandson greets grandfather."
The old general's somewhat cloudy eyes slowly fell on Han Chaolin and looked him over carefully.
Seeing that he had a youthful face and did not have any intimidating aura about him, the guard in my heart unconsciously relaxed a little.
"Who are you......"
Han Chaolin just felt it was extremely ironic. How ridiculous was it that a grandfather couldn't even recognize his own grandson?
"Three years ago, on my way back to Beijing, my grandson, Han Chaolin, went to Yunhai Villa and asked to see my grandfather. However, since he was not in the villa, I never had the chance to see him."
When Han Chaolin said this, an indescribable sadness surged in his heart.
This sadness is for the confused father, for their eldest wife's family, and for themselves.
He almost hated this feeling.
