Step on a branch

Chapter 107
Listening to Princess Pingyang's narration, Qin Luan felt her guilt, but also knew that it was not the princess' fault.

In the turbulent times, the young child has experienced the suffering of the war, she will be self-reliant, and will also rely on the people around her.

Her mother passed away early, and it was hard for the little girl not to have a good impression of her stepmother who treated her tenderly and cared for her.

This is also the reason why Qin Luan and Aunt Lan have a deep relationship.

Aunt Lan is an old friend of the mother and lives very close to her; while the stepmother and the eldest princess meet each other day and night and live together.

Yan has acted in this family relationship for nearly 20 years.

It was the Yan family who failed the eldest princess and the first prince.

"Father has doubts about the death of brother Huang. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Lin Xuan several times." The eldest princess said.

Lin Xuan never let go.

It's not that he doesn't trust the first emperor, but that no one has a choice.

The throne will be passed on, Zhao Li will ascend the throne, the physical condition of the first emperor cannot compete with Yan's mother and son, the fetus in the womb of the crown princess does not know the sex, and it is not a good idea to have a young child in the clan at that time...

Once the internal turmoil, the Great Zhou will be in chaos.

But to keep Zhao Lin's posthumous son and create more possibilities for the future, he must let Zhao Li trust him.

Lin Xuan insisted that Zhao Linzhi's death was an accident, saying that the prince told him to do his best to Da Zhou and assist the young Zhao Li.

In the first eight years of Qingyuan, Lin Xuan always held the military power in his hands.

So is the eldest princess.

She told Yan about the sadness of her father and brother's death, without any doubts.

In the next few years, she gradually kept a distance from the former court and the harem with reasons such as "my father passed away, and I am no longer a princess who can do whatever I want", "the eldest princess and the princess must act differently", Also no longer mention Guiwei.

She is also reassuring the empress dowager and the emperor.

"Brother Huang's death is a big blow to sister-in-law, she gave birth to you prematurely," the eldest princess looked at Lin Fan and said, "I will bring you back and give it to Lin Xuan, who will grow you up as a son. "

Lin Fan clasped his fingers tightly into his palm and asked, "Then, is my mother still alive? What kind of person is she?"

"Sister-in-law, she..." the eldest princess spoke, but did not continue.

In a short period of time, she didn't know how to describe the princess, she was a woman who could talk for three days and three nights, not a few words.

"Her name is Fang Yu, the orphan girl of the Fang family in Wancheng." Lin Zhi spoke in place of the eldest princess, and said the simplest things.

Wancheng was burned in the flames of war, and very few people in the city survived.

The mother asked Gu to hand Fang Yu to the servant girl, and begged her to take the child to join her sister.

"Her sister is Dou Yan."

Qin Luan didn't know this name, but Lin Fan was very familiar with it.

"Grandmother?" Lin Fan asked in a low voice.

Lin Zhi nodded.

Dou Yan married into the Cheng family.

This Cheng family is originally from the same clan as the Cheng family from which the current Empress Cheng was born, but it was born five times earlier.

One line of Empress Cheng is handed down with the fragrance of books, and the other line has produced many generals, seeking all kinds of life in the troubled times.

Dou Yan has a daughter named Cheng Qiao, who is Lin Fan's mother.

His biological mother and adoptive mother are cousins ​​who grew up together since childhood.

Lin Fan thought that this was also one of the reasons why the mother was willing to send away her daughter who was pregnant in October.

Lin Zhi continued: "A Yu was stabbed in the back when he was fleeing, and he survived by luck, but he can no longer practice martial arts like us."

Guiwei is a martial artist, and Cheng Qiao is very active, but he doesn't ignore his cousin who can't participate.

Fang Yu reads history and reads soldiers, is proficient in algorithms, and manages well. He is the chief executive of Guiwei.

When Zhao Guiyou led the troops to fight, Fang Yu sat in the rear, dispatched food and grass, and coordinated the cooperation between the Guiwei and other forces.

"She is outstanding," the eldest princess smiled, very shy, "I only brought you back to the capital, but she disappeared. Neither Lin Xuan nor I can look for her with great fanfare, and I can't tell if she is still alive..."

Lin Fan lowered his eyes.

He was well prepared for the death of his biological mother, but the situation of unknown life and death still made him very worried.

Qin Luan glanced at Lin Fan and asked, "Did the former prince and concubine leave anything old?"

The old man is gone, if there are some relics, it is also a kind of comfort.

Just like herself, when she was young, she loved to hug her mother's clothes to sleep, and no one would give them to her.

Princess Pingyang got up and didn't ask anyone to come in for help. She went into the inner room by herself, waited for a while, and then came back.

Qin Luan saw that there was an extra wooden gun in her hand.

The wooden gun is very short, in the hands of adults, it is just a toy.

"Brother Huang made it himself," the eldest princess handed the wooden spear to Lin Fan, "he made it for you."

Lin Fan stared blankly at the wooden gun, and slowly took it.

After learning that his wife was pregnant, Zhao Lin was so happy that he spent the afternoon chopping wood and polishing the handle of the gun.

Zhao Gui laughed at him: "So you know he's a son?"

Zhao Linzhi laughed: "Your daughter's family, don't you dance with knives and guns every day? It's just to practice marksmanship, and you still have sons and daughters?"

In a word, Zhao Gui was blocked.

Zhao Gui didn't give up, but also wanted to tease his brother, paying attention to his whole process of making the wooden gun.

Then, she saw that Zhao Lin untied a small tuft from the red tassel of his shiny silver gun and tied it to the wooden gun.

"How do you use blood-stained things for children?" Zhao Gui asked.

Zhao Linman didn't care: "Who doesn't get blood? You will see it sooner or later, my child, don't be afraid, and you won't be afraid!"

So proud and full of confidence.

Lin Fan listened to the story of the wooden gun, his eyes were heavy, fixed on the cluster of red tassels.

It has been collected by the eldest princess for 20 years, and it is not as bright as before.

Lin Fan reached out and picked it up with his fingers.

Fluffy, weightless.

But he felt heavy in his heart.

It seemed that his father, who was brave and good at fighting, handed over this tuft of red tassels to him after a long time.

His biological father was still very strange to him.

However, at this moment, Lin Fan thought, he seemed to be one step closer to him.

Princess Pingyang looked at Lin Fan without disturbing his meditation.

It wasn't until Lin Fan raised his head again that the eldest princess said: "I told you everything I know, and the Marquis of Yongning also entrusted everything to me. Now, you who know all the answers, what do you want to do?
You don't need to answer right away, I can't explain this matter in a few words, you go back and have a good sleep and think about it slowly.

When you figure it out, let me know.

No matter what the answer is, I will accept it, because you are the son of Brother Huang.

I used to do whatever I wanted, and neither my father nor my elder brother had ever screwed my temper, nor told me what I had to do or what I couldn't do, and I wouldn't use it to screw you.

As long as you think about it yourself, I support it. "

Lin Fan clenched the wooden spear in his hand, and nodded solemnly with the eldest princess.
