Step on a branch

Chapter 124 Phoenix Branch

The pill worked, and Master Jing Ning fell into a deep sleep.

Her breathing was slow and long, very steady, it was hard to imagine how excited and painful she was when she fell ill not long ago.

Lin Fan lowered his shoulders to let himself relax.

He knows that it takes energy to express all emotions, whether it's crying, laughing or screaming.

Fortunately, there is medicine in the temple to calm the mother down, otherwise, the tossing and tossing during the illness would consume countless mental energy of her in the past twenty years.

Under that kind of torture, the mother will be more haggard and older.

Not what he saw today.

Painful experiences are sealed up, calm and gentle when awake, and sleep when sick.

Looking at the room she lives in, there are not many things, it is very neat and clean, and it is spotless.

In her spare time, she would read books, just like what they had just seen.

The years have left traces on the mother's body, but it is only the years.

This is already, very lucky.

Turning his head, Lin Fan looked at Qin Luan and said, "I'm thinking about what Miss Qin once said, the wisdom of being a human being."

Qin Luan blinked.

Soon, she also remembered.

"When you're unhappy, just think about the happy things. It's good to add the icing on the cake when you do something, but if there's a fly in the ointment, the beauty comes first. Don't make things difficult for yourself."

That night in Xisi Hutong, she used these words to excuse Qian Er, but Lin Fan listened to her.

Lin Fan said that she "formed her own logic".

At that time, Qin Luan asked Lin Fan for help, but he didn't argue with this idea.

Now it seems……

Qin Luan looked at the sleeping Mrs. Jing Ning, and couldn't help but chuckled.

The teacher's insanity fell, and she had to take medicine to fall asleep. The duration of her illness may be longer or shorter. Lin Fan has to rush back to the palace. It's likely that she won't be able to wait until she recovers.

Furthermore, no one knows how she will react when she wakes up.

Will she forget more completely, or will she refresh her memory by thinking about her son?

Qin Luan didn't have an answer.

These are indeed a fly in the ointment.

But that beauty is so important.

There is nothing more important than confirming that Mrs. Jing Ning is the missing Fang Yu.

Thinking about this, Qin Luan smiled and said, "Look, it makes sense."

Involuntarily, Lin Fan laughed out loud.

Smile more genuinely and more easily than before.

"Yes," Lin Fan looked at Qin Luan and nodded seriously, "You are right."

Qin Luan's smile froze slightly, and quickly covered it up, but in her chest, she heard her heart beating.

It's obviously just a very common echo, and it's also a very common topic, but...

It's because the person who said that was Lin Fan.

It is she who wants to know more, to accept more, to be closer to more people.

Holding the fly whisk in his hand, Qin Luan pretended to be calm, got up and said: "I'm going outside to talk to the senior sisters, the Duke of the country should stay with the teacher for a while longer."

Lin Fan watched her go out.

Her steps were steady and her expression was very calm, but Lin Fan always felt that Qin Luan was a little flustered.

Involuntarily, the questions that had popped up not long ago flooded into my mind again.

Qin Luan, do you like him?
Even if only a little bit.

With lowered eyes, Lin Fan turned his attention back to Mrs. Jing Ning.

Through Qin Luan's narration and the environment here, Lin Fan can somewhat imagine his mother's life after being taken in by Tianyiguan.

But before that?

What did she experience when she learned of her father's death, when she had to hide under her aunt's arrangement, and when she gave birth to him prematurely?
Why did she disappear, and why did she come here?

Mount Tai is too far away from the hiding house arranged by the two aunts.

The only thing Lin Fan could guess was that his mother might want to see the place where his father died, so he took Mount Tai as his destination.

But this is just his guess.

Lin Fan had no idea what mother had thought about, or what mother would want to do when she really woke up, and what she wanted him to do.

"The old Hou Ye and the eldest princess are waiting for my answer," Lin Fan murmured softly, "I have thought a lot these days, and there are still many things I haven't figured out."

He doesn't value that chair.

What he was thinking in his heart was to regain the lost land, the country was peaceful and the people were safe, and the world was peaceful.

This is what Lin Xuan has always taught him since he was a child.

If Lin Xuan was alive, he would teach Lin Fan more ways to be a king when he grew up, but Lin Xuan left too early.

Arriving early, Lin Fan never knew that there was a difference between a ruler and a subject in his identity.

"I want to bring down Xizhou..." Lin Fan said.

Recovering the territory is not only Lin Xuan's obsession, but also Zhao Lin's.

The stable situation mentioned by the first emperor not only means that he can replace Zhao Li with lightning speed, but also can create a world, so that Xiliang, Nanshu, etc. will no longer be the imperial court's sworn enemies.

As for the throne, is he worthy?

Even though he was the grandson of the emperor, the prince died and his adoptive father was gone.

Can the world be convinced only by the memoryless mother and eldest princess?

……

Now, when looking at his sleeping mother, Lin Fan suddenly understood.

This may be what the Taoists said, the time has come.

He suddenly became transparent.

He needs to fight, fight, he needs to sit in that chair.

Marquis Yongning is right, the emperor is going more and more sideways, and sooner or later the people of Dazhou will suffer for it.

Moreover, not only for the tens of thousands of people in the world, but also for those two people.

One was his biological mother, whom she had forgotten for 20 years.

Forgetting made her no longer suffer, but her life experience, those memories of joy, anger, sorrow and joy formed a complete person.

Memory makes people know where they come from, and where they should go, so that people have something to rely on and something to return to, instead of floating like a piece of duckweed.

Lin Fan thought, rather than wandering, her mother would definitely want to remember everything.

Among the ways to restore memory, there are meeting familiar people and going to familiar places.

He had to let his mother go back to the capital, to the East Palace where she used to live.

If you want to take care of your mother, just "Dingguo Gong" is not enough.

What's more, with the defense of the emperor and empress dowager against him, it would be very difficult for Duke Ding to do so.

The other one is Qin Luan.

If he doesn't want his love to become a burden to Qin Luan and the Yongning Hou Mansion, he has to overcome obstacles.

Otherwise, even if Marquis Yongning destroyed the last emperor's edict and insisted not to get involved in these matters, the Qin family would be in turmoil.

Qin Luan, who was destined to rise from a branch, he had to let her be that phoenix.

Biwu perches on the branch of the old phoenix.

That is a phoenix, so he has to become a phoenix tree.

If she wants to live in the Phoenix Palace, he will build her the Phoenix Palace.

Only in this way can he be worthy of his sincerity.

"You asked earlier if I was her husband." Lin Fan looked at his mother and smiled softly, "I am not yet, but I hope I will be in the future. I heard that you took good care of her when she was watching , and like her very much, we all like her."
