Coming out of the knife wind shop, the group separated, Lin Yuelan and Qingfeng went to the Juxian Inn to see Lin Yixuan, Situ Nanyun was escorted by Qingyue and went to Situ Han's Zichen Courtyard in Yandu, and Zhu Rongyu, Qingying, and Aoki went to Qingge's secret base, Pushan Medicine Hall.
Juxian Inn is an industry under the name of Hou Lin Yixuan of Beiwei, and it is a place to meet important people or discuss confidential matters.
Lin Yuelan and Qingfeng arrived at the Juxian Inn, saw Xiao Er, and directly reported the room number, without guidance, they arrived at the door of a room with a familiar car, knocked three times, and the people inside opened the door in response. It was Lin Yixuan's personal attendant Shi Jin who opened the door, and said with a respectful smile: "Shizi, the master is waiting for you inside." โ
Lin Yuelan entered the room, this is an outer room, and there is an inner room inside, turning the two vases on the Duobao Pavilion shelf, a stone door slowly opened, Lin Yuelan walked in, and the stone door then closed behind him.
Lin Yixuan is about fifty, a pair of sword eyebrows go straight into the sideburns, affected by the frost and wind in the northern Xinjiang, his face has the color of wind and frost, but he does not look old, he is still elegant, at this time he is pacing, his hands folded behind his back, seeing Lin Yuelan come in, he smiled slightly, "Lan'er, you are here." โ
Lin Yuelan nodded and called him, "Father." โ
Lin Yixuan's eyes were deep, he glanced at it, his expression was a little solemn, and he said, "Lan'er, our father and son haven't met again for a whole year since they met at the state banquet last year, right?" I know that you have a conflict with Xi'er, and you are also estranged from the princess, you don't want to stay in the northern Xinjiang, and you love freedom by nature, so I specially asked the emperor to allow you to go back to the ancestral house to worship your mother, and go in and out of Yandu at will, so in the past four or five years, we have only seen a handful of times, and now there are frequent ghostly activities, and we are also staring at you closely, and it is extremely difficult for my father to see you, so my father cherishes this opportunity to meet. โ
Lin Yuelan's face was a little moved, and she said loudly: "Father, it's a child who is not filial. โ
Lin Yixuan smiled gently, "Lan'er, I don't blame you for this, you are a good boy, if possible, I am willing for you to be my good son for the rest of your life." โ
Lin Yuelan was very surprised, and looked at Lin Yixuan with a pair of deep eyes, "Father? What do you mean by that? โ
Lin Yixuan's eyes showed a rare softness at this time, and he gently patted Lin Yuelan's shoulder, "Lan'er, sit down and ask you a few questions for your father." โ
Lin Yuelan thought that his father's expression was a little unusually solemn this time, and this meeting was arranged so secretly, as if there was something important to order him, she nodded, sat upright, and looked like she was ready for battle, "Father, you say." โ
The corners of Lin Yixuan's mouth were slightly hooked, and the eyes that looked at him were full of anticipation and exploration, "Lan'er, as a seven-foot man, and you have a martial arts talent, what are your aspirations in the future?" โ
Lin Yuelan looked at him a little unclear and replied slowly: "If the father asks this question, the child's answer ten years ago is to gallop on the battlefield like his father and defend the country, but now that the child has a sweetheart, the desire to defend the country and make a name for himself on the battlefield will all be behind." The child just wants to stay with her for a long time and indulge in the landscape, this is the child's heart, and the father should not think that the child is short-sighted. โ
Lin Yixuan frowned, "It is said that men are ambitious in all directions and take the world as their own responsibility, but you only think about staying with a woman, which is indeed a bit short-sighted." But," his resolute thin lips raised, "it may just be your momentary thought, when you are at the pinnacle of power, your thoughts may be different, you will want more things, such as power, wealth, and even women." โ
Lin Yuelan's eyes were calm, she met Lin Yixuan's looking gaze, and said firmly: "Father, what you said is not what I really want, even if the king of a country is placed in front of me, I will not have the slightest thought." Because I am a free and easy person by nature, I will not be stumped by these worldly things, and my purpose in life is very simple, which is to take a loved one to the mountains and rivers. โ
Lin Yixuan's tense face was completely let go, and he patted Lin Yuelan's shoulder, "Lan'er, I know your heart for my father, and my father really didn't misunderstand you." You've always had doubts about your mother's death, and I've kept my mouth shut about it, and I think it's time to tell you. โ
Lin Yuelan's heartstrings vibrate, this is the truth he has been looking forward to for many years, his heartbeat also sped up a little, and he looked at Lin Yixuan with blazing eyes.
Lin Yixuan glanced at him and said, "Lan'er, you have also been paying attention to the affairs of Jingyue Temple, you must have guessed that Situ Nanyun's aunt Tang Mengxin is the substitute Concubine Yao of Jingyue Temple." Now, according to the information collected by Qingge, the demons have infiltrated the imperial court, and they have been secretly helping the third prince to investigate the matter of Concubine Yao in Jingyue Temple, and it seems that the imperial court is suspicious of Concubine Yao's identity. In the past few days, I have received a secret report from an informant in the palace, saying that the ghost has secretly opened the coffin of Concubine Yao of Jingyue Temple, and found that there is nothing else in it except Concubine Yao's clothes. โ
"Fifteen years ago, someone reported to the imperial court that a person who looked like Concubine Yao was found in northern Xinjiang, and pointed out that person appeared in my Beiwei Houfu, and the imperial court also sent someone to investigate, and now, although it has been many years, the emperor will inevitably no longer be suspicious and re-investigate this matter, if we don't prepare in advance, Beiweihou Mansion is likely to suffer a catastrophe."
Lin Yuelan looked at him with burning eyes, "Could it be that this Concubine Yao has something to do with the death of her mother back then?" โ
Lin Yixuan nodded, and said an answer that surprised him even more, "Actually, this Concubine Yao is your mother." โ
Lin Yuelan muttered, "No, father, what's the matter...... Possible? โ
Lin Yixuan sighed lightly, "Lan'er, in fact, all of this was arranged by the former emperor, that is, your biological father. In order to prevent your orphans and widows from being used and manipulated by others in the future, and to be involved in the struggle for power and profit in the court, and in order to give your mother a broader world, your father decided to send your mother out of the palace, and asked me to take her to the north and protect her well, and in order to have a better name to protect her, I had to declare that she was my newly married princess, and later your mother gave birth to you and your brother. Originally, everything was fine, but when you were five years old, someone spread a message that they saw a person who looked like Concubine Yao in the Beiweihou Mansion in Northern Xinjiang, so the emperor sent someone to investigate late at night, although your brother was only five years old at the time, but he already had the general outline of the emperor, your mother had no choice but to send him away overnight, and she herself took a strong drug that can instantly change the appearance of the "phantom", although it was hidden from the officials who came to investigate, but your mother's body was greatly damaged, and the thought of your brother became ill, Considering that I had never married, and fearing that I would continue to stumble, I never took medicine properly, and your mother passed away half a year later. โ
Lin Yuelan sighed for a while, he had never doubted his life experience, it turned out that he was the child of the former emperor and the mysterious Concubine Yao, and he was a little distracted for a while.
A trace of guilt flashed on Lin Yixuan's face, and then said: "Lan'er, this is the truth about your mother's death, your mother's death, as a father, is also responsible, it is for your father's negligence, not taking care of her." Over the years, my father has been sorry for this matter, Lan'er, if you want to blame it, blame your father, if you are still willing to recognize me as a father, call me a father. โ
Lin Yuelan shook her head, the unpleasant memories in her heart suddenly disappeared, and her eyes looked at Lin Yixuan with sincerity, "Father, I don't blame you for this. Over the years, I also blamed you, I always thought that you empathized and married another woman, it turned out that this was not the case at all, my father sacrificed his feelings in order to fulfill the emperor's will, I understand my mother's feelings, my father is a person who values love and righteousness, and it is worth calling me a father for a lifetime. โ
Lin Yixuan has been galloping on the battlefield for many years, and when he heard Lin Yuelan's words, his resolute eyes were also a little moist, and he hurriedly took a sip of tea to hide the past, "Lan'er, you are a good child, and it is the honor of my life to have a son like you." Although you are now a noble prince, your mother's last wish is to want you to be a happy ordinary person, which is also her original intention to leave the palace. What you said just now made my father believe that you are indifferent to fame and fortune, regard imperial power as dung, and your mind is the same as your mother, which is also a place of relief for your father. โ
Lin Yuelan looked at Lin Yixuan intently, for the first time in so many years, their father and son were talking from the bottom of their hearts.
Regarding Tang Mengxin's matter, Lin Yuelan has always had doubts, so she took this opportunity to ask.
Lin Yixuan said eloquently, "Before the Tang Sect had an accident, the former emperor was about to die, and all the political affairs were handed over to the crown prince at that time, that is, the current emperor to take care of, your mother, because she asked for a phantom medicine, had contact with the Tang Sect, and had seen Tang Bi's two daughters, and her impression of them was not bad." After the Tang Sect accident, your mother remembered that the two girls were pitiful and wanted to do a little bit to help them, but the two of them were robbed first, and then the Tang couple committed suicide in prison. Your mother didn't give up looking for the two girls, and finally the palace guards finally found and rescued them. โ
"Tang Mengxin looks a bit like your mother, in order to repay your mother's kindness, after hearing about your mother's distress, he volunteered to become a nun instead of your mother. Tang Mingxin followed your mother to Northern Xinjiang and met my good brother Situ Han, and the two fell in love at first sight and became a couple. Your mother is a person who values feelings, and treats Tang Ming's heart like a sister, and the two agreed that after the child in Tang Ming's heart is born, the boy will marry Jin Lan, and the girl will get married, so this is the marriage contract between you and the Situ family. โ
"Father, I had a misunderstanding about Yun'er before, so I repeatedly refused to marry her, but in the past two years, as I got in touch with her, I slowly got to know her. Now I am in love with Yun'er, and I hope that my father will ask the emperor for marriage on behalf of the child. โ
Lin Yixuan's expression was a little excited, and he said continuously: "Okay!" Good! Lan'er, you are finally willing to marry, and I have finally fulfilled your mother's last wish. โ
