Zhou Tianzheng saw that Lin Wan was so nervous, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Aya can't bear it, I'm worried about it for a few nights and I haven't slept yet, so I asked someone to come and beg me to take it back." So, I'll take a look. You don't have to worry, though, I won't take it away. Aya has taken care of it since it was born and has feelings for it. However, I see that this little thing likes you more, and it seems that only you can subdue it and keep it alive. ”

Lin Wan couldn't help but put his mind at ease, smiled slightly, and said, "Thank you, Third Emperor Brother." I promised Aya that when it was ready, I would take it back to Aya to see, but not now. ”

Zhou Tianzheng nodded, thought of something again, and said a little sadly: "Wan'er, its mother may not be able to wait for it to go back." ”

Lin Wan was stunned and asked with concern, "What's wrong with the tiger mother?

Zhou Tianzheng shook his head and said, "After Baihu gave birth to Xiao Qi, his health has been bad, and his spirit may be worse these days because he misses his children." Aya said it might not live long. ”

Lin Wan felt a pain in his heart, turned his head to look at the little white tiger, and saw that it seemed to hear Zhou Tianzheng's words, and was raising a pair of round little eyes to look at Lin Wan, with doubts and worries.

The little white tiger quickened his pace, ran towards Lin Wan's feet, stopped at Lin Wan's feet, looked up, and his cute little appearance melted Lin Wan's heart.

Lin Wan squatted down, picked it up, held it in his arms, struggled for a moment, and finally looked up at Zhou Tianzheng, and asked word by word: "Third Emperor Brother, three days later, can you arrange for me and Xiao Qi to go up the mountain to see Mother Tiger?"

Zhou Tianzheng was a little hesitant, he knew that Lin Wan would leave the capital in three days, and Lin Wan would definitely take Xiao Qi with him, and the emperor was forced to agree. Therefore, Lin Wan proposed to let Xiao Qi and his mother meet again before leaving the capital.

However, he did not dare to agree. Because the secrets on the Cliff Mountain cannot be known by outsiders, and he is only because of his special identity, the soldiers on the Cliff Mountain have some scruples about him. However, if he took people up the mountain without permission, and he took people to the forbidden land to see the divine beasts. If someone finds out, I'm afraid he can't guarantee that Lin Wan can go down the mountain safely.

Lin Wan saw that he was silent, knowing that he must be very embarrassed, and he didn't force it, so he said lightly: "If the Third Emperor Brother feels embarrassed, then forget it." It's just that if the tiger mother can't see her baby before she dies, it really makes people feel uneasy when they think about it. ”

Zhou Tianzheng finally nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you, but you can only go alone, and you must disguise yourself and obey my arrangement, and your identity cannot be exposed." Three days later, on the tenth day of the lunar month, you dressed up as Aya and waited for me here, and I took you and Xiao Qi up the mountain. It can't be too long, and we have to come back before it's ugly. ”

Lin Wan nodded again and again, and said happily: "Thank you, Third Emperor Brother, I owe another favor to the Imperial Sister." ”

Of course, Zhou Tianzheng knew that Lin Wan was only on the cliff mountain last time, and he saved Lin Wan and the others. Shaking his head, he said bitterly, "You don't owe me anything." The last time it was for worry-free, and this time it was for Xiao Qi. ”

Lin Wan was stunned, he didn't expect Zhou Tianzheng to express his frustration in front of him so directly. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, and Lin Wan didn't know what words to say to comfort, so he thought about it and said, "Brother Sanhuang, do you know what love is?"

Zhou Tianzheng raised his eyes and looked at Lin Wan, frowning slightly, secretly guessing what Lin Wan wanted to express, but he still frowned and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

Lin Wan smiled faintly and said, "Sister Wuwu has been lonely since she was a child, and it is not easy to get to where she is today. I hope that her suffering in the past ten years can be exchanged for happiness and comfort for decades to come. I believe that you are sincere to her, so you did not destroy her happiness, and you fulfilled them. If you are determined to break them up and take back the people of Sister Sanssouci, it's not that you can't do it, it's that you don't want to do that. What you want has always been not the person of Sister Sanssouci, but her love. ”

Zhou Tianzheng laughed self-deprecatingly, and said resentfully: "So what? What I spent a few years and didn't do, your brother easily got it, this world has always been so unfair." Some people are born to be the protagonist, while others can only be a foil forever. I am not convinced, what I want, I will definitely get. You tell your brother that you won't let him go so easily. ”

Lin Wan was horrified in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he said lightly: "Everyone is the protagonist in their own life, and for others, they are all foils. Maybe you can get what you want through hard work, such as the Lu family, such as the crown prince, such as more power. However, love is very fragile and cannot withstand the competition, there is no king or defeat, only jade is burned. Brother Sanhuang is a smart man, and he must know better than me in his heart. ”

Zhou Tianzheng wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at Lin Wan, silent, he knew that Lin Wan wanted to persuade him to give up Ning Wuwu and not embarrass Lin Ruichen, but he was unwilling to agree.

Lin Wan looked at Zhou Tianzheng's gloomy expression, thought for a while, and said slowly: "Third Emperor Brother, let me tell you a story." ”

Zhou Tianzheng raised his eyes to look at Lin Wan, who was calm and calm, nodded slightly, and said, "Imperial sister, please speak!"

Lin Wan smiled and said: "Once upon a time, there was a scholar who met a young lady on the way to Beijing to catch the exam, and the two fell in love at first sight, and finally made a private lifelong agreement, and made an appointment to wait for the scholar to come back from the exam, and then go to the house to ask for relatives." However, when the scholar came back, the young lady was already married to someone else. The scholar couldn't afford to be sick from then on, and he was about to drive west. At this time, a high monk came to him and took out a mirror from his bosom for the scholar to see. ”

Zhou Tianzheng looked at Lin Wan suspiciously, obviously attracted by her story. And the little white tiger in Lin Wan's arms also pricked up his ears and seemed to be listening quietly.

Lin Wan paused and continued: "The scholar looked into the mirror, and saw a murdered woman appearing in the mirror, lying naked on the beach. At this time, a man walked over, he glanced at it, shook his head, and left. After a while, another man came over, took off his green shirt and covered the woman, and then walked away. At this point, the scholar was surprised to find that the man was himself, and the monk told him to look at it further......"

Zhou Tianzheng's brows tightened, he knew that the story Lin Wan told must be trying to explain a truth, and this truth was to persuade him to give up his attachment to Ning Wuwu and his hatred for Lin Ruichen. But what does such a story illustrate?
