Rebirth Nunnery

Chapter 173 Father and Son
At this moment, in Prince Jin'an's mansion.

King Jin'an came out of the palace, bid farewell to Queen Lin'an and returned directly to the mansion.

The old housekeeper helped King Jin'an remove a gorgeous cloak, and noticed that the prince's face seemed unhappy.

"My lord, this old slave has already prepared everything according to your instructions. Look, do you want to take a bath and change clothes first, or eat first?"

King Jin'an raised his head slightly, looked deep into the palace, and said in a low voice: "No need, let's go to Xuantang first!"

The old butler was taken aback for a moment, but then he came to his senses, and hurriedly called the other servants to pack their things.

Like other royal palaces, the Jin'an Palace is divided into an outer courtyard and an inner courtyard.In comparison, the outer courtyard is larger, and the inner courtyard was supposed to be the place where the women and children of the mansion lived. However, although King Jin'an liked flirting before, in fact, apart from the late princess, the mansion was really considered the mistress of the master. But only three people.

Compared with the outer court, the inner court is unexpectedly rigorous.

King Jin'an shuttled all the way, and after half a quarter of an hour, he came to a small courtyard behind the inner courtyard.

With black mud tiles and gray walls, at first glance, this small courtyard is out of place with the entire Jin'an Palace.

But King Jin'an seemed to come here often, walking into the small courtyard familiarly.

This small courtyard is a taboo in the palace, not to mention outsiders, even the aunts who live in the inner courtyard are not allowed to enter.

Except for King Jin'an and his son, the old housekeeper was the only exception.

The old butler told his servants to retreat early, and followed behind the prince with a food box in his hand.

There is only one house in the small courtyard, which is surprisingly simple.

This mysterious hall was set up when the princess was still alive, and the two words on the plaque in front of the door were also written by the princess herself.

The old butler looked up at the gate, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Since the concubine passed away 20 years ago, the number of times the prince has come to the Xuantang can be counted on one's fingers, and he has been taking good care of the Xuantang for so many years.

The old butler walked into the house, put down the food box, and quickly backed out, waiting in the yard.

As for King Jin'an, he didn't seem to care at all, standing in the hall, looking up at a picture scroll on the wall in a daze.

This painting is obviously quite old, the edges of the scroll are beginning to wear away, and the original snow-white rice paper has also turned yellow.

But even so, the two bright and moving figures in the painting are still so clear.

King Jin'an couldn't help but stepped forward and touched the scroll with trembling hands.

"Qingcheng, Huimin, I finally avenged you..."

King Jin'an's voice was extremely low, but he could hear the uncontrollable excitement and depression in his tone.

At this moment, he waited for a long time, 20 years, before he got this opportunity.

Of the two women on the picture scroll, one was the love of his life, and the other was his only wife, but they were both destroyed in the hands of one person.

Thinking of this, King Jin'an's face showed hatred, and he couldn't help but think of the words that Hui Min said while holding his hand that night many years ago.

"My lord, I'm afraid I can't do it... This child is our only hope. Your Majesty is no longer the fourth elder brother. If you want to protect your lord and our family, this is the only way I can do it... I just feel sorry for Qingcheng... ...Qingcheng...the prince must keep a low profile in the future, and must not be impulsive again, even if it is not for the prince himself, he must think about our children..."

Huimin had just given birth two days later, but her face was as pale as snow, and her eyes, which were always calm and wise, were full of regret and reluctance.

Worries about her husband, reluctance for her children, and pity for her best sister.

Huimin has been extremely intelligent since she was a child, and no matter which prince she is, she is very fond of her. After all, in their eyes, no matter how smart this cousin is, she is just a girl, and she is not of much use except for marriage. .

But who would have thought that Huimin would become close friends with Gu Qingcheng, the most beautiful woman in the world at that time.And Qingcheng's heart was attached to the fourth prince at that time, so Huimin naturally became a person on the side of the fourth prince.What was even more unexpected was that it was because of Huimin's joining that the fourth prince stood out from the crowd and won the final victory in the battle for the throne.

However, the reason for this, except for a few of them, no one else knows.

He also knew very well that the reason why Huimin agreed to marry him was for Qingcheng.

If it wasn't for Qingcheng, if it wasn't for Qingcheng's liking for Luo Jingsheng, his and Huimin's lives might not have been like this.

Just as King Jin'an's thoughts drifted away, a slight sound of footsteps suddenly sounded in the hall.

King Jin'an knew who it was without looking back.

"You're here, give your mother a stick of incense first!" King Jin'an said quietly.

The visitor walked up to King Jin'an step by step, without looking sideways, took out the fire folder and burning incense from the box on the side, lit it, knelt down respectfully and kowtowed three times.

But he saw that this person had a handsome face, three or four points like King Jin'an, but his complexion was fairer, and his eyes were shining with cold eyes.

"Yin'er, I've worked hard for you during this time, and when the overall situation is settled in the future, I will take you back to the mansion as my father."

King Jin'an turned his head and said in a very gentle voice.

"Father, everything is worth it for Mother and Concubine." Lin Yin said in a low voice.

King Jin'an raised his head, looked at this Huimin's half-or-six face, and couldn't help but feel emotional.

Although King Jin'an was given the surname Luo, no matter whether it is himself, Lin Yin, his own son, or Lin Mo's eldest son in the eyes of outsiders, they all recognize his surname as Lin.

"If it wasn't for your safety, being a father would not have brought Mo'er back. It's a pity that he resembled you very much when he was a child, but he doesn't look so much like you when he grows up." King Jin'an said with a smile on his face. Said with regret.

Lin Mo is not his biological son, but a nephew brought back from his hometown.Both parents of this child died when he was born, and for some reason, after birth, he looked very similar to Lin Yin.

At that time, King Jin'an brought him back, firstly, to let someone take care of him, and secondly, he also thought about finding a substitute for Lin Yin.

Although Lin Mo is not his own person, he has treated King Jin'an as his own father in the past 20 years, and will not doubt any decision of King Jin'an.

As for Lin Yin, he was secretly sent away to Shangjing by King Jin'an not long after his birth, and has been taken care of by his loyal confidantes.After that, he took over all the dark forces of King Jin'an and managed them in an orderly manner.
