Lin Mo waited for a long time and finally received the news that his second brother had arrived in the capital.
After his brother proposed it, An Chenglin also ordered people to renovate the Lin family's ancestral home. In order to solve the petitions from the Yu family and the ministers in the court at one time, the emperor decisively issued an order without any intention of discussing it with the ministers. Anyway, he often did this.
The ministers were naturally angry but dared not speak out, and were also very shocked by the news that the Lin family still had descendants. After receiving the news, the Yu family did not stop the emperor from sending people to repair the Lin family's ancestral home. On the contrary, they sent people to supervise it, fearing that those blind people would demolish or damage something.
The shadow guard Cheng Yan sent to supervise came back and reported the matter to him. After hearing it, Cheng Yan's feelings towards the Yu family changed a little. He used to think that the people of the Yu family were stubborn, old-fashioned and pedantic, but now it seems that they are indeed loyal.
The Yu family and the Lin family are both scholarly families, and they have been friends for generations. When the Lin family was framed, the Yu family was able to stand up, and this kind of courage is rare nowadays.
After all, it is normal for people to forget about you when you leave.
The renovation of the Lin family's ancestral home would not take too long, and Cheng Yan began to prepare to send someone to pick up Lin's father and mother. Lin Mo gave the token to Cheng Yan and asked him to take it with him when he sent someone. If they just went there, the eldest brother who had memories of his previous life would not let the Lin family follow them.
It was just dawn outside when Cheng Yan was woken up by Lin Mo tossing and turning. Without opening his eyes, Cheng Yan reached out and pulled the man into his arms, hugging him tightly.
"Momo, why are you awake so early?" Cheng Yan opened his eyes slightly, his voice a little hoarse.
"Second brother will be here today." Lin Mo turned sideways and placed his hands on Cheng Yan's chest.
"Didn't we arrive in the afternoon?" Cheng Yan rested his chin on his head, rubbed it gently, and whispered.
"Hmm... I'm too happy to sleep." Lin Mo muttered in a low voice.
Knowing that their Lin family is the descendant of the Lin family in the capital, the emperor's brother and Cheng Yan have already begun to secretly investigate the prime minister and Prince Jing. The Lin family was framed in the previous life, but in this life, it was easily solved because of the intervention of the two people with the highest status in Yu State.
Now, the second brother who had not been seen for more than a month was about to arrive. Knowing so many good news at the same time, Lin Mo was naturally excited. So he was in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness all night, and now he woke up at dawn.
"Sleep a little longer, and then we'll go to the city gate to pick up your second brother in the afternoon." Cheng Yan reached out and patted his back gently and rhythmically to lull him to sleep.
Cheng Yan was naturally aware of Lin Mo's condition throughout the night. It was just getting a little brighter outside. It was still a little cold in the spring morning, and usually Lin Mo would still be asleep at this time.
Lin Mo looked up and glanced out the window, and found that it was not yet completely light. After thinking about it, he decided to go back to sleep. Lin Mo retreated back into the quilt and hugged Cheng Yan, resting his forehead on his chest, smelling the familiar scent, and soon fell asleep.
So, today all the servants in Prince Cheng's mansion discovered that their prince, who used to get up on time every morning to practice martial arts, rain or shine, did not wake up today.
The maids who waited outside the bedroom, waiting for the prince and his wife to wake up and then go in to help their masters dress and comb their hair, waited for the whole morning. It was almost lunch time, and they finally heard the prince's voice coming from inside the room.
The maids breathed a sigh of relief and carried in the wash basin that had been prepared long ago and had been filled with warm water that had been changed countless times.
Lin Xiu was worried about his brother, so he shortened the journey from one and a half months to one month. After a month of traveling, he finally arrived at the imperial city.
The eldest son of the Yu family, who was traveling with Lin Xiu, had lost more than half of his guards when they were ambushed. He was worried that there would be thieves who would rob and kill him on the road, so he naturally did not dare to stay on the road for too long and followed Lin Xiu's group on their journey.
They encountered several ambushes on the way, but fortunately they were solved by the shadow guards left by Cheng Yan, and more than a dozen people came to protect them in secret. Apart from the fatigue caused by the long journey, no one in their team was injured.
Lin Xiu tried to ask the shadow guards about his brother's current situation several times, but they disappeared every time after dealing with them. Lin Xiu didn't even have the chance to speak. On the way, he could only comfort himself in his heart that those shadow guards were Cheng Yan's men. With Cheng Yan around, his brother would definitely be fine.
"Thank you for your help this time, Brother Lin. If it weren't for Lin Xiu and the shadow guards behind him, Yu Yange knew that it would be difficult for him to return to the imperial city. But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted.
“Second brother!”
Lin Mo, who was waiting on the side, was delighted when he saw his second brother get off the carriage. He shouted loudly and walked quickly over there.
The guards standing by saw the prince's wife passing by and hurried to follow. The prince was supposed to accompany the prince's wife out today, but he was unexpectedly summoned to the palace by His Majesty just after lunch.
So when Lin Mo came out today, he was accompanied by a group of guards. Passers-by were shocked by the scene, and after seeing the logo on their clothes, they quickly walked aside to make room for them.
When you see someone from Prince Cheng’s Mansion, try to avoid them if you can.
"Master Wang! Slow down!" The two maids who were originally standing beside Master Wang saw him suddenly walk towards the city gate and hurried to catch up.
Lin Xiu heard a familiar voice, turned his head and saw a familiar-looking guy walking towards him. Lin Xiu looked carefully and realized that the man was his younger brother.
Lin Xiu turned his head and said a few words to Yu Yange, then walked towards Lin Mo.
"Brother, you weren't hurt on the road, were you?" Lin Mo walked closer and took a look at his brother. He found that he just looked a little pale, but Lin Mo was still a little worried.
"It's okay. The people left behind by Cheng Yan have taken care of those people... But why do I feel that you have become thinner, Amo?" When Lin Mo came over, Lin Xiu realized that he seemed to be much thinner than a month ago, and his originally chubby face was gone.
"Maybe I just arrived in the Imperial City and I'm not used to it..." Lin Mo didn't tell his second brother the truth. Anyway, he was fine now, and telling him the truth would only make his second brother worry in vain.
"That's good, second brother thought you were sick." Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. In the past, when his younger brother was sick, he would be sick for ten days or half a month. Every time, he would finally gain some weight, but then he would become so thin that only bones were left.
"We have traveled for such a long time, come back with me and have a rest."
"Okay, second brother, go tell the dean and bring the things over."
Lin Mo nodded, turned his head and told the guards waiting behind him to go over and help carry the things.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Several guards said respectfully, and then followed Lin Xiu.
Lin Xiu had only walked a few steps when he heard the guards addressing his brother respectfully. He paused, but in the end he said nothing and continued walking towards the dean.
Prince? Then Cheng Yan is the prince?
Although An Chenglin was silent in his fight for the throne, his brothers had already started killing each other in secret. When An Chenglin ascended the throne, there were not many brothers left, so there were not many princes in Yu State, and they could be counted on one hand.
Lin Xiu had been studying in the academy since he reached the age of 20. For the imperial examination, he not only had to learn the Four Books and Five Classics, but also the history and political theories of the Yu Kingdom. Lin Xiu was still clear about how many princes there were in the Yu Kingdom.
The only prince title that matched Cheng Yan's name was the God of War Cheng Wang. Lin Xiu could not imagine that Cheng Yan was the feared Cheng Wang. Seeing a team of guards behind his brother, Lin Xiu knew that Cheng Yan had probably recovered his memory.
After Cheng Yan regained his memory, would he still love his brother? Are there other concubines in the palace? If so, would his brother be bullied by them?
Lin Xiu was a little troubled. He found that he didn't really trust Cheng Yan's previous promises to treat his younger brother well in front of him and his elder brother. Look at it now. Ah Mo doesn't accompany him when he goes out. In the past, the two of them always stuck together and did everything together.
Cheng Yan, who was discussing the start time of the plan with his brother in the palace, suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
After Lin Xiu went there, the Yu family's people also arrived. The Yu family guards packed up the young master's things and then invited the young master to get on the prepared carriage.
As soon as Yu Yange got on the carriage, he saw his father sitting inside. "Why did my father come here in person?"
"Were we ambushed by thieves on the way?" asked Yu's father.
"Well, fortunately Brother Lin was here, so we were able to escape danger. But how did father know?" Yu Yange asked puzzledly.
"News from His Royal Highness Prince Cheng." Father Yu lowered the curtain and turned around.
"Your Highness Prince Cheng?!" Yu Yange was a little surprised. Although he had to go to other places to study due to family reasons, he was still clear about the situation in the imperial city.
"The Brother Lin you mentioned should be the elder brother of Prince Cheng. His Majesty Prince Cheng recently said that there are still people in the Lin family. His Majesty has ordered people to repair the Lin family's ancestral home. Perhaps it won't be long before the Lin family will be escorted back to the capital by His Majesty Prince Cheng."
"Father, are you saying that Brother Lin is a descendant of the Lin family?"
"What do you think of his talent and learning?" Father Lin asked without answering.
"He's on par with me, but his political commentary is slightly inferior to mine." Yu Yange said, and he was certain of it.
Yu Yange had heard about the Lin family from his grandfather when he was a child. After they escaped, they must have gone to a remote place to hide their origins. Even so, Lin Xiu's talent was only slightly inferior to his. Yu Yange believed that if Lin Xiu and he were in the same environment, Lin Xiu would probably be much better than him.
After Lin Xiu explained some things to the dean and his classmates, he took his things and left with Lin Mo. Considering that those people were from Mulin County and were friends of his second brother who had been classmates for several years, Lin Mo asked a few guards to take them to the inn to make arrangements.
Thinking that Wang Fu and his brother might have something to say, the two maids got into another carriage.
"Amo, tell your second brother honestly, did Cheng Yan... bully you?" Lin Xiu asked after hesitating for a long time.
"No, why are you asking, second brother?" Lin Mo asked in confusion.
Why did the second brother think that he would be bullied by Cheng Yan?
"But the rumor doesn't say that King Cheng..."
"Second brother, although Cheng Yan has recovered his memory, he still treats me the same as before. And those rumors are not true, second brother, don't believe everything they say." Lin Mo said helplessly.
"Okay, it was my second brother who got it wrong."
Since his younger brother said so, Lin Xiu no longer doubted Cheng Yan. His eldest brother told him that their fourth brother's personality was different from that of ordinary brothers. If Cheng Yan really treated him badly, his younger brother would not hide it from them.
