Lin Zhishen nodded and smiled, "I'll come over after I finish my work and eat with you."

After eating and drinking, Lin Zhishen began to talk about what he had been doing these past few hours.

After a long time, Lin Baoer frowned and said, "You said that the person who sent people to assassinate us is probably a brother you have always trusted?"

"It's just a suspicion, not confirmed yet."

Lin Zhishen sighed.

Although he was the unpopular seventh prince, his lineage had always been close to that of the tenth prince because of his mother's relationship, so he was naturally quite close to his younger brother.

Fortunately, this tenth prince had a pure heart and was not as scheming or impure as his elder brothers, so he was willing to get close to him. Until he went out to look for Lin Baoer all year round, they occasionally exchanged letters.

So the first time he saw the letter in the inn, he was sure that it was his brother's handwriting.

It's just that he didn't want to believe that the tenth prince had done it, so he hurried back to the capital to find out everything.

After he left his private house, he went to see the confidant he had been sending to Kyoto and learned what happened during this period.

The news that the emperor was critically ill did not spread at first, and only a few close people knew about it occasionally, so the princes and princesses did not make too much trouble, and they all recuperated their energy.

Among them, most of the factions in the court were led by the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince, each holding a side and fighting in separate chambers. There were also factions that remained neutral or supported other princes.

All the princes have a chance, but he, the tenth prince, and the fourteenth prince have a slim chance because their mother-in-law has a low status and has no support from the party. The emperor has never shown any closeness, so early on, they He has been kicked out, which is why, as the seventh prince of the Jiang Kingdom, he can stay away from Kyoto for a long time without anyone caring about him.

Originally this was supposed to be a fight between the princes, but because of the emperor's words, Lin Zhishen was dragged into the whirlpool of the fight.

"Shen'er, how are you doing now? 』

Just this sentence set off everyone's alarm, and also dragged Lin Zhishen into this turbulent battle.

"Why did he suddenly ask you?" Lin Baoer was very puzzled.

Since Lin Zhishen is not favored, he should remain unfavored. How could he suddenly mention such a sentence when he was critically ill? Doesn't the emperor know the thoughts of his sons? Isn't this an obvious attempt to push Lin Zhishen to the forefront?

Lin Zhishen sighed softly and recalled the memories with his eyes.

"My mother once met him outside the palace."

Just like the bloody plot in the novel, the emperor went on patrol incognito and was hunted down, but was rescued by Lin Zhishen's mother. In the end, a good relationship was achieved. The emperor took her back to the palace and promised her the love of his concubine. Location.

But the emperor had many concubines, and as time passed, who knew her last name?
Over time, the emperor naturally forgot about the person who had saved him. Especially when Lin Zhishen was born, he had a terrifying birthmark on half of his face. He looked like a life-seeking evil ghost. Everyone in the palace People called him an ominous person and asked the emperor to put him to death.

But the emperor remembered Lin Zhishen's mother's life-saving grace and did not execute them. Instead, he sent Lin Zhishen's mother to the cold palace, and no longer cared about the newly born seventh prince, leaving the mother and son alone. People fend for themselves in the cold palace.

When Lin Zhishen was three years old, thieves suddenly attacked the palace and failed to assassinate the emperor. They kidnapped Lin Zhishen and disappeared without a trace.

At first, the emperor was furious and sent people everywhere to look for him, because it was related to his royal dignity. But as time went by, his intention to look for people became less and less, and in the end, he just sent people hastily. He continued to search symbolically, but in fact he had already given up on the prince in his heart. After all, he already had four or five sons at that time, so why did he care about this ugly and unknown son?
It was precisely like this that Lin Zhishen was sold to the Taiping Kingdom.

It wasn't until he took the medicine given by Lin Baoer to regain his appearance and returned to Jiang Kingdom to rely on tokens to regain his status as a prince that he discovered that his mother had long since died of depression due to his disappearance.

Because of this, he lost sight of the royal thoughts and grew up as an invisible person until now.

Perhaps God was unlucky. During a family banquet, Lin Zhishen happened to be in Kyoto, so he went to attend the banquet. Who would have thought that the emperor would be so distracted when he saw him.

Because Lin Zhishen, who had lost his birthmark, looked so much like him when he was young, not only in appearance, but also in his words and deeds, which reminded him of the fisherman girl who had saved him early in depression.

That sincere relationship suddenly made him feel guilty, and because of this, he paid attention to Lin Zhishen all the time, asking for help, like a belated father's love.

But it was just a matter of greetings. He never handed over any other real power to Lin Zhishen, nor did he let him go to the court to get a sinecure. He just asked him to be a happy prince and not interfere with other things.

Therefore, those people did not take Lin Zhishen seriously.

At this point, the matter had nothing to do with Lin Zhishen. But at the moment when the emperor was critically ill, when he woke up from a daze, he only mentioned Lin Zhishen. This surprised no one, and made everyone think of him. The fingers were all pointed at him.

This is also the reason why, after they arrived at the Sawei Cave, waves of killers came to find them.

They wanted to take precautions before it happened and strangled Lin Zhishen on the road. Then they had no strong enemy and would rather kill him by mistake than let him go.

After listening, Lin Baoer had only one thought in her mind.

"Then the old man must be sick!"

Lin Baoer was stunned for a moment, a little confused.

Did she speak her mind?
But after a while, she finally realized that it was Jiang Yuzhi who said those words.

"Just because of one word, I deserve to have my sons kill you to death." Jiang Yuzhi complained in a low voice, his face filled with resentment.

Lin Baoer gave her a thumbs up in agreement.

"Later I went to meet Jiang Yu." Lin Zhishen took a sip of tea, his eyes flickering, "I didn't notice anything strange. He didn't seem to know about those killers."

Jiang Yu was the tenth prince. When he went to see him, he was very surprised to see Jiang Yu. He was surprised that he suddenly returned to Beijing. The exchange of pleasantries was no different from before.

Therefore, he was not sure whether those killers were related to Jiang Yu, and he had to investigate further.

If Jiang Yu is really sent here, it proves that he has been wrong all these years. This person's mind is as deep as his own, and he has a plan. He has been coveting that position for a long time, and now he is here. At this time, exposure has no choice but to be exposed.

He was even more heartbroken, as the friendship over the years could not compare to that position.

But if not, then he would definitely get to the bottom of it and prevent those people from involving Jiang Yu. (End of chapter)
