Wind rises time and space gate

Chapter 534 Anger and Resentment
Lin Lanzhen really didn't expect that her adopted cousin, the child adopted by her grandparents, was actually the biological son of the King of Yue!
When the King of Chu came to question her, she was stunned.

How could the adopted cousin who was raised in the imperial mausoleum, hid when he saw her, and dared not fight back when beaten by He Ze be the biological son of the King of Yue?

At that time, the King of Yue was still in the Imperial Mausoleum. No matter how poor he was, could he be worse off than living in the mausoleum village with his grandparents? Wasn't it better to be raised in the imperial mausoleum palace than in the Lin family?

Lin Banzhen didn't understand.

What is even more confusing is that now it is said that Princess Yue is Changzhi's biological mother. However, the woman who gave birth to Changzhi clearly died in the imperial mausoleum and was buried on the mountain over there in Mausoleum Village. How is it possible that Princess Yue is Changzhi's biological mother?

Lin Lanzhen couldn't figure it out.

First, she called her parents and asked them a lot, but Li and Lin Jing'an couldn't explain it either.

They only said that the girl died less than a month after she was born, and the news of her death was brought to the town. However, their family was busy at that time, and Lan Zhen's grandparents thought it was unlucky, so they did not let Lin Jing'an go back for the funeral.

She's just a foster sister. What's so good about giving her a present?

Now the King of Chu tells her that Chang Zhi’s biological mother is the Princess of Yue?
Lin Lanzhen didn't believe it, so she asked someone to call Ma.

Ma had received the letter from her husband. The Prince of Yue's Palace had its own communication channels, and the letter from her father was always sent to her on time. Ma already knew what happened in the northwest.

Now that he was suddenly summoned by his niece, he probably guessed something. He had no choice but to go, so he gritted his teeth and entered her courtyard through the side door of the palace.

Lin Lanzhen gave birth to a daughter prematurely, and the Princess of Chu treated her well. She arranged a new courtyard for her, and she lived in a more comfortable place than before. She did not look down on her because she gave birth to a daughter.

But Lin Lanzhen felt that it was because she gave birth to a daughter. If she had given birth to a son, she might not have known whether he would be born safely, let alone get a more spacious yard for her.

"Greetings, Madam. Madam, you just gave birth to a child not long ago, so you should take good care of yourself. Don't catch a cold in this chilly spring breeze."

Lin Lanzhen was sitting on a couch in the courtyard. She didn't stand up when she saw Ma arrive. She looked at her and said, "Aunt, you are speaking in a more literary way now. It seems that people become different when they come to the capital."

Ma didn't care about her sarcastic words. She just smiled and said, "What do you want Madam to ask me to do?"

Lin Lanzhen snorted, stood up and walked into the house. Ma followed.

When they got inside, Lin Lanzhen sat down on a chair by herself without greeting Ma. Ma saw that there was a chair next to her, so she walked over and sat down without being polite.

Lin Lanzhen looked at her again and thought to herself that this Third Aunt had really changed.

She used to be very respectful to me when she came to the palace, but now she doesn't even take me seriously. Could it be that she thought that because her uncle had made great contributions and followed the King of Yue, she would also become an official wife, so she looked down on me as a concubine?
Ma didn't know what was going on in her mind. According to her relationship, she was Lan Zhen's aunt and an elder. Wasn't she worthy of a seat? After sitting down, she asked a few questions about the children and chatted about family matters.

Lin Lanzhen had no patience and was unwilling to reminisce with her. "Aunt, is Changzhi the biological son of the Princess of Yue? Didn't Changzhi's mother die? Wasn't she buried in Ling Village?"

"I don't know the reason. As for whether the princess is Changzhi's biological mother or his stepmother, I'm in the capital and I don't know the situation in the northwest."

"You don't know? Uncle San didn't write to you?"

"Your third uncle has written to me, but with his status, how can he get close to the prince and princess? How would he know anything about the prince and princess?"

"How could Third Uncle not know? Back then, you and Third Uncle treated Changzhi like your own son, raising him together with Hele. Now he is the son of the King of Yue. Could the King of Yue treat Third Uncle badly?"

I'm afraid that Third Uncle has already become the King of Yue's man. It's hateful that he is still playing a trick on her.

If she had known that Changzhi was the son of the King of Yue, why would she have become someone's concubine? I don't believe that the King of Yue would not remember her kindness. Thinking of missing out on the young prince of the Prince of Qi's mansion, Lin Lanzhen still felt a little unwilling.

If my uncle and aunt had known about this earlier and didn't help me, it would be really hateful!

Last year, I moved into their house, which was in the backyard of the Prince of Yue's mansion. My third aunt refused to help introduce me to the Princess of Yue, and even refused to say a good word for her.

Thinking of the King of Chu coming to scold her, saying that she ruined things and hid such an important thing from him, she was very angry that he promoted and reused Lin Jingning. When Lin Jingning left, he also gave a lot of instructions, asking him to get close to the King of Yue and take action against him when he had the chance...

As a result, the King of Chu felt very upset when he thought that Lin Jingning might tell the King of Yue about it.

He cursed Lin Lanzhen all night long.

Lin Lanzhen felt so wronged that no matter how she explained, it was useless. The King of Chu even suspected that she was a secret agent sent by the King of Yue.

Lin Lanzhen now looked at Ma with hatred. The Third House's family was all cunning and ruthless. They had actually concealed such a big thing from the Second House.

"I asked my father to pick up Xiaobao and Hexue, and I also sent someone to the academy to pick up Hele. Since Third Uncle is not here, it's not safe for you and your widow to live outside. I asked someone to clean up a yard in the servants' courtyard of the palace. Third Aunt, you can move in with your cousins."

Ma was shocked!
What is Lin Lanzhen going to do? Is it her idea or the King of Chu's?
"No, we are more comfortable living in our own home. Besides, we are not servants of the Prince of Chu's Palace. How can we live in the servants' courtyard of the palace? Besides, your third uncle is now a seventh-rank lieutenant. He has an official position, and we are the wives of officials. It is not appropriate to live in the Prince of Chu's Palace."

Lin Lanzhen didn't expect that in such a short time, her third aunt, who had lived in Ling Village for many years, had become like an official's wife. She spoke with evidence and refuted her.

"Since Third Aunt doesn't want to, I'll ask my father to buy a yard near the palace to house you."

"No need," Ma refused flatly, "We are fine living in the original place. We don't plan to move." She stood up and left.

Lin Lanzhen hurriedly asked someone to stop them.

Ma turned around and looked at her coldly, "I am a seventh-rank official's wife. If I go to the Princess of Chu to defend myself, and someone spreads the rumor that the Prince of Chu's Mansion secretly detained an official's wife, I wonder if you can bear this crime?"

Lin Lanzhen was stunned.

While she was distracted, Ma strode away.

She hired a carriage and rushed home. She saw that her two children were indeed missing. She almost collapsed. The servants said that they were taken away by the children's second uncle. Ma was extremely anxious.

On the one hand, she wanted to ask Lin Jing'an for the child, but on the other hand, she was worried that Lin Lanzhen would send someone to the school to take Hele away. She didn't know what to do.

I was so anxious that I cried.

When Caocuo saw her, her eyes were swollen from crying.

"What's going on? Don't be anxious. Talk slowly. We have plenty of manpower in our palace."

Ma told the story while crying, and Caocuo was very angry after hearing it.

The young master treats Lin Jingning's family as his relatives, and he was raised on Ma's milk. The hateful Lin Lanzhen is just a concubine of the King of Chu, but she dared to kidnap people from their Yue King's Palace!
Moreover, even the orders given by the King of Chu did not work.

He immediately called the guards of the palace and personally led Ma and the guards to ask for the person.

Fortunately, when Lin Jing'an did not receive accurate instructions from Lin Lanzhen, he only took the two children to his own home and did not take them to another place. The two children were soon found in his home.

The two children didn't know what had happened, they just thought that their uncle had taken them to play. Although there was nothing fun at their uncle's house, they still had to listen to their elders.

Seeing his mother crying, Xiaobao came to comfort her, "Mom, we didn't run away anywhere else. We are good."

"Mom, I will look after my brother." The ten-year-old He Xue has grown into a little girl. She holds her brother's hand sensibly and comforts her mother.

Lin Jing'an felt a little scared when he saw Eunuch Cao, the chief steward of the inner court of Prince Yue's Palace, coming over in person to ask for someone.

He just wanted to take his nephew and niece to a safer place as his daughter had ordered. He heard that people in the Yue Palace were afraid to go out now. He was also worried about the safety of the two children. He didn't know if his third brother would listen to him if he advised him to stay away from the Yue King.

Lin Jingan also couldn't understand how Changzhi suddenly became the biological son of King Yue?

"Eunuch Cao, why are you here?"

Cao Cuo looked at him coldly and said, "In the past, I thought you were smart and honest, but look at what you are doing now!" What am I doing?

Lin Jingan was a little confused.

Cao Cuo was too lazy to explain to him, fearing that this fool knew nothing and was being deceived by his good daughter.

"Uncle, can you please have a word with me?" Ma said.

Lin Jingan nodded and went to a different place with Ma. "I think you also know about his second uncle, Chang Zhi?"

Lin Jingan nodded. If he had known Changzhi's identity earlier, he might not have sent his daughter to the Chu Palace as a concubine. With the grace of adopting Changzhi, can't his daughter marry into a good family?
Moreover, he has the protection of the Yue Palace, which may be a better relationship than the Chu Palace. The Chu King has so many women in his backyard, and the maiden families of the concubines are not considered relatives. Until now, he is only the second shopkeeper in the palace shop.

Look at my third brother, he has now become a seventh-rank captain serving the King of Yue.

Lin Jingan felt a little complicated.

"His second uncle, Lan Zhen wants to help the King of Chu control our family. If you also help Lan Zhen, then our third branch will go our separate ways from now on, and we will each live our own lives without interfering with each other."

"This, what do you say!"

How could a family member say such a thing? Lin Jingan was shocked. "Lan Zhen is just worried about your safety, so she wants to move you to another place. Now there are rumors everywhere that the King of Yue is going to rebel..."

"His second uncle!"

Lin Jingan quickly fell silent. He whispered, "I heard that people in the Prince of Yue's mansion are very low-key now. Lan Zhen is also worried that someone will make a fuss about your relationship with Chang Zhi, and is afraid that you will not be safe living there."

"We are safe. His second uncle doesn't need to worry about us. Please tell Lan Zhen that since she is married, she should live a good life. But don't think about abandoning her relatives in order to please her husband's family."

What did you say? Lin Jingan wanted to ask for clarification, but Ma had already turned and left.

When she met Li and her parents who had just entered the house, Ma just nodded and walked away.

Li looked at Ma and brought Eunuch Cao and guards from the Prince of Yue's mansion to the door, and asked them hurriedly. After hearing the situation, her eyes flashed.

As soon as Lin Jingan saw her expression, he knew that she understood the situation.

"Are you hiding something from me?"

Li said impatiently, "What can I hide from you?" She said goodbye to her parents and left.

Lin Jing'an felt very upset when he saw that his wife and parents-in-law ignored him.

As for Ma's family, Caocuo arranged for them to stay in the guest house of the palace that day, and sent someone to bring Hele, who was in the school, to the palace.

"Mother, why do we have to live in the palace?"

Hele was a little confused when he was brought to the palace right after school. They have their own home now, so they don't have to live in the palace anymore. And Changzhi and Aunt Princess are not here, so why are they moving in?

Ma thought for a while and made a decision, "In a few days, Eunuch Cao will send a group of people to the northwest. Mother is going to take you to find your father."

"Really?" Hexue and Xiaobao almost jumped up with joy.

They missed their dad so much. Dad didn't come back for the Chinese New Year last year. He's been gone for a long time. And there's brother Changzhi over there! They want to go!

"Mother, why do you suddenly want to look for father? Doesn't your son go to school anymore?"

He Xue rolled her eyes at her brother and said, "There are so many powerful people around the King of Yue. It will be enough for them to teach you. And you can learn with Brother Changzhi, which is much better than learning on your own."

Although it was true, it made him sound like he was much older than Changzhi. He was obviously one month older than Changzhi! Damn girl. Hele glared at Hexue.

Ma smiled and said, "Your sister is right. When we get to the northwest, your father will arrange your studies."

"Mom, why do we suddenly have to go to the northwest? Isn't Dad coming back?" He Le asked again.

Ma told the children what happened today and what their father said in the letter. Hele and the others packed their bags that night.

Northwest, Hangu City.

The news that the prince asked the emperor to replace the commanders of the other three northwest borders also reached Zhao Guangyuan.

"It seems that it is just as His Majesty expected. The people in the capital have taken action against General Shao and his men." Wei Zuo, Lu Ye, Jiang Huan and the others all felt as if the sword hanging over their heads had finally fallen.

"Your Highness, this matter must be handled with caution. If it is not handled properly, I'm afraid we will really become rebels." For the time being, the prince and they did not want to bear such a reputation.

Zhao Guangyuan nodded, it was not the time to rebel yet.

The obstacles he encountered in his rebellion against the crown prince could be solved, but the resistance to his rebellion against the imperial court and his father would be great. I'm afraid that neither the civil nor military officials would agree. By then, blood would flow like a river, which was not what he wanted to see.

"Write a letter to Shao Liang and the two marshals of Dasan Pass and Long Pass, asking them to be mentally prepared. Also, ask them to rest assured that I will handle this matter well."

"Yes."

Everyone discussed some other things until the meeting ended. Zhao Guangyuan looked around and asked, "Where is the prince?" He was surprised to realize that his son was not there.

Originally, whenever he discussed matters with his confidants, Chang Zhi would stand beside him and listen, but today he discovered that Chang Zhi was not there.

Wei Zuo laughed, "The prince is probably in the training ground."

During this period, all the generals were vying to be the prince's teacher, and even Fang Sheng wanted to teach him the art of war. It was said that the prince was learning a lot every day and went to bed later than the prince.

On the training ground, Chang Zhi put away his spear and clasped his fists towards Sun Yu, "Thank you Uncle Sun for your careful teaching. I feel I have made great progress compared to the past few days."

Sun Yu walked over and touched his wet head. "You are smart. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to understand the essence of our Sun family spear in such a short time."

"Uncle Sun is really patient with me and teaches me everything he knows. I am deeply grateful to him."

Sun Yu felt relieved after listening to this.

Such an intelligent prince is also so humble and studious that people can't help but like him.

After Sun Yu left, Lin Jingning hurriedly came up and wiped Chang Zhi's sweat.

"Third uncle, come by yourself when you grow up."

"Don't move." He held Changzhi down and wiped his sweat. "Third uncle has nothing to do today. He is watching you learn spearmanship from General Sun. He is very happy."

Chang Zhi treats his nephew like his own son. When his son is not around, he treats his nephew as his own son, which can comfort his wife and son.

Thinking of Changzhi when he was a child, holding him and refusing to let go, and fighting with Hele for the title of father, Lin Jingning still felt that scene was vivid in front of him.

In a blink of an eye, it grew to his shoulders.

"The prince received a secret letter from the capital, saying that the palace will send another group of people to Hangu City. Your aunt and Hele will come with them."

Chang Zhi was surprised and delighted: "Really? Uncle is not lying to me?"
