"It's not just surrounding you, it's also surrounding me." Lin Xin'er said, "At that time, I had deduced from Yi Yao that the forces involved in the old affairs in the palace were of the same lineage as the forces that are now dealing with me.
I know what kind of conspiracy is hidden in it."
"So, you should tell me what you know." Ximen Jingxuan hugged Lin Xiner, "Now is the time when we share the same hatred. No matter what happens, we must stay together."
"Before, I was afraid that because of the estrangement between me and you, I couldn't handle it well and alert the people in the dark, so I wanted to wait until I found Zheng Xianlun to find out the whole story, but now I'm telling you. This is the only thing I knew at the time.
I was in a hurry to take Zheng Xianlun away and didn't have time to ask anything in detail," Lin Xiner said.
"Well, I won't act rashly for now, just pretend I don't know what to do yet." Ximen Jingxuan said.
Lin Xiner raised her head buried in Ximen Jingxuan's chest, stared at him, and looked at his expression carefully. Although the room was dark, she could see clearly even if she was close.
His expression was very calm, without any fluctuations, as if he was not dealing with matters concerning his mother and concubine, whom he had been thinking about.
"Do you think I don't really care about my mother and concubine?" Ximen Jingxuan asked.
Lin Xiner shook her head, "I was wrong. I really should have confessed everything to you from the beginning. We wouldn't be in such a difficult position now. I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to tolerate me, so I didn't even try. Why?
Do you know the answer? Just like now, if you can still deal with this matter calmly, I feel at ease."
"Do you think I will hate? I don't even know who I should hate." Ximen Jingxuan said.
This is probably the reason why Xin'er followed Zheng Xianlun in concealing it. Like his mother and concubine, she was afraid that she would be hated and bear the vengeance of her mother. At the last moment of the martial arts training field, she did not say anything. Although she was
Yueyao's tragic situation made her lose her mind, but he still existed in her heart.
She didn't love him any less than he did, she just used the wrong method.
His mother-in-law is not really heartless, there are reasons behind her that he doesn't know that need him to explore.
At this time, knowing all this, shouldn't he be relieved?
"What I just want now is how to solve all the things around me. I don't want what happened eight years ago to happen again. Our grudges shouldn't involve countless innocent people. I don't want the newly established Qingyuan
The dynasty has been lost with me." Ximen Jingxuan continued, "I want the matter of mother and concubine to truly end, so that I can rest in peace."
"So, where is your sister? When will you check her whereabouts?" Lin Xiner asked.
"Sister?" Ximen Jingxuan thought of the sister he had never seen before, "Isn't she dead?"
Every year in early spring, he would go to the hilltop behind Wan'an Temple. The palace attendants around his mother and concubine said that his sister, who died just after birth, was hastily buried there.
"Zheng Xianlun said that he didn't want your sister to follow in your footsteps, so he took her out of the palace and gave her to someone to raise, but she was later lost. He said he would look for her," Lin Xiner said.
Originally, this was an unanswerable matter. The girl's life and death were uncertain. Lin Xiner did not plan to tell Ximen Jingxuan, but now, she has said it out. Even if his hope turns into disappointment, she will be with him.
Let's bear it together.
However, even Zheng Xianlun is still full of hope. Why should she think negatively? Maybe the little princess is waiting for her relatives to find her somewhere!
"Let's talk about it later."
Just when Lin Xiner thought that Ximen Jingxuan would immediately decide to search for the person after hearing the news, Ximen Jingxuan flatly denied the matter.
"What?" Lin Xiner was startled.
"I believe she is my father's daughter, but now is not the time to go looking for her." Ximen Jingxuan first eliminated Lin Xiner's doubts and then answered her questions.
"Are you afraid of being alarmed?" Lin Xiner understood. He had never doubted his mother-in-law.
"If the disappearance of my sister is related to the people who deal with the mother-in-law, and I start to look for her, it will probably alert those people and make them take precautions. We should wait a little longer. I am a little tired, so let me hold her
Squint for a while."
Ximen Jingxuan didn't want to talk about anything anymore. Every word he said was a heavy burden. He just wanted to have a moment of leisure and rest with Xin'er in his arms.
This should be the most comfortable moment of rest in these days. It is only a moment, and I can't even wait for dawn.
"I said, just listen." Ximen Jingxuan pressed Lin Xiner's head on his chest again, lowered his head and smelled the fragrance of her hair, and said softly.
He says he wants to be relaxed, but how can he be relaxed? Relaxation is just a luxury he wants at the moment. There are still problems in his heart that need to be explained clearly.
"Yeah." Lin Xiner replied with her head buried in her head.
"There are two people behind Zhiqi. One of them instigated her to collude with the thief to steal the dagger. Although I am not sure how she passed the dagger to Lin Keer. I think Lin Keer did not have direct contact with her.
One of them took the dagger from Lin Keer first, and then returned it to me through Zhiqi. Although I am not sure of the second person's intention, it is still safer than the first person for the time being.
"Ximen Jingxuan said.
"The person who stole the dagger must be the man in cloak, but whoever returned the dagger?" Although Lin Xiner was just listening, she couldn't help but raise her head and ask.
"I made a bet this morning and I won." Ximen Jingxuan's lips curved into a smile.
With Lin Xiner, he could laugh again.
Lin Xiner knew that he was referring to stabbing him with the crescent moon dagger and passing through "her hand".
"You are not allowed to use this method again in the future." Lin Xiner gently stroked Ximen Jingxuan's abdomen, and the blood on his clothes had solidified.
"In extraordinary times, you can't do it without being ruthless." Ximen Jingxuan took Lin Xiner's hand away from his injury, "You continue to be the person who hates me. How much you hate me now, I will treat it as
How much love there is.”
Lin Xiner only felt that her nose was a little sore. She used poison to treat her legs. It was so painful and tortured that she didn't even shed a tear. Ximen Jingxuan's words and actions could make her eyes sore.
.
"Ximen Hen..." Ximen Jingxuan muttered the name softly, "He has done a lot of things recently, but the man in the cloak is not him. He has been staying in the palace these days and has never left. If something happens to him,
, I feel more like the person who returned the dagger through Zhiqi. There are two threads involved with Zhiqi, so it’s hard to force her to do anything. If she is destroyed, it will be a big loss."
