"The person who killed your mother is named Xuanyuan Youran, also named Qi Ran. She is General Xia's wife."
Lu Zhiyao originally looked attentive and curious, with a serious expression as if he wanted to hear some big secret. But the moment the words "Qi Ran" came out of Lin Mubai's mouth
, she suddenly froze, and then reflexively looked at Lin Yinan, just in time to catch Lin Yinan's gaze.
Qi Ran, how could she not be familiar with this name?
"You go out first."
Lin Yinan's deep voice sounded, but at this moment, it had no effect.
Lu Zhiyao sat there motionless with a stubborn and strange expression, as if he had not heard Lin Yinan's words. The actions between the two also made Lin Mubai sense that something was wrong, and he and Zi Ningshuang looked at each other in confusion, no one knew what happened.
"Uncle Emperor, I think there must be some misunderstanding here. Did you...did you check wrongly?"
Lu Zhiyao forced a smile to ask Lin Mubai. The cautiousness in his smile was flattering that Lin Mubai had not seen for a long time.
Lin Mubai knew that Lu Zhiyao cared about the Xia family, but he could never guess why Lu Zhiyao cared about the Xia family. So when he heard Lu Zhiyao ask this, he didn't care too much.
Duo, before Lin Yinan could stop him from exiting, he continued.
"The name Xuanyuan Youran is not unfamiliar to the royal family of Qingming Kingdom. It's just that she has been missing for too long, and no one over there has been able to find her, so this name has gradually faded out of people's sight in recent years.
.And Ningshuang came to Xia Lai Country also to find her."
After Lin Mubai finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Zi Ningshuang. Zi Ningshuang received his gaze and swallowed, preparing to take what Lin Mubai said.
"Stop talking." Just as Zi Ningshuang opened her mouth, but before the sound came out, Lin Yinan unexpectedly stood up and said coldly: "Uncle Emperor, it's getting late, you go back."
"Don't leave!" Lu Zhiyao also stood up. The more Lin Yinan behaved like this, the more uneasy she felt, "Otherwise, no matter what method I use, I will definitely figure out what you call the truth.
"
Lu Zhiyao was very stubborn sometimes, like trying to get into trouble and would not give up until he achieved his goal. He stopped Lin Mubai and the other two who were turning to leave. Lu Zhiyao stood there solemnly and refused to give in. Lin Mubai was
I don’t know what evil this girl committed, but she finally said everything she needed to say. Because as soon as today is over, he and Zi Ningshuang will leave here. It is impossible to tell Lin Yinan this matter in a pen and paper.
The only thing that can be done is to tell him face to face and personally.
"In Qingming Kingdom, there has always been a team to protect the royal family. All the people are carefully selected and outstanding, especially Xuanyuan Youran." When Zi Ningshuang mentioned that person, a look on her face
There was also a hint of admiration. "As far as I know, her only mission and purpose in coming to Xia Lai Country was to get rid of the late emperor and the two generals who had protected Xia Lai Country so well. But when she came to Xia Lai Country,
One year after she left the country, the Qingming Kingdom could no longer contact her, and after that, they heard news about her death."
Naturally, the royal family of Qingming Kingdom did not believe that Xuanyuan Youran would die. They sent other people to investigate and search, but they never found any trace of her.
Zi Ningshuang was also a member of that team. In other words, she was once Xuanyuan Youran's subordinate. Others didn't believe that Xuanyuan Youran would die, especially her. So she accepted the mission to find Xuanyuan Youran, but she didn't want things to be difficult.
As expected, I would meet Lin Mubai again here.
Xuanyuan Youran kept her name anonymous and even prevented people from seeing her true face for many years. This kind of life was difficult and cruel, but for that person, she endured it all her life, and for so many years.
Zi Ningshuang still hasn't figured out why Xuanyuan Youran married Xia Zhenkun so quickly and even betrayed her country and gave birth to two children for him. But she doesn't want to take it seriously anymore, because some things will happen once
If it happened to him, it would be another matter. Xuanyuan Youran was a betrayer of Qingming Kingdom, and now Zi Ningshuang, how could she not be the same?
Others didn't know Xuanyuan Youran's identity, but the shrewd Lin Yunlong became suspicious and interested in this woman who suddenly appeared next to Xia Zhenkun. How could the majestic general of the country, the woman he wanted to marry, have no identity and no background?
After several in-depth investigations, Lin Yunlong was shocked and even frightened by the truth of the matter. He strongly opposed Xia Zhenkun marrying this woman from the Qingming Kingdom as his wife. He also secretly approached Xuanyuan Youran and threatened her with Xia Zhenkun's life.
To get her to leave the country as soon as possible.
But if Lin Yunlong can threaten Xuanyuan Youran, who has grown up among poisonous flowers since childhood, how can he not?
Xuanyuan Youran has always been extremely cruel to people he doesn't care about. At that time, the Xia Lai Kingdom was still unstable, and Lin Yinan's mother had the blood of a remnant of the previous dynasty, so although Lin Yunlong didn't like it, he didn't dare to treat the single person at that time.
What about Yi Rong? He was even afraid that something unexpected would happen to that woman.
Poisoning a helpless woman and two children was a simple matter for Xuanyuan Youran. She and Lin Yunlong were in a stalemate, and finally chose to take a step back and achieve their goal.
protocol.
Xuanyuan Youran's identity was protected by Lin Yunlong, and she also provided the antidote for Shan Yirong and Lin Yinan.
The demise of the Xia family was not accidental, but a result that was destined the moment Xuanyuan Youran appeared. Qingming Kingdom has never given up looking for her in these years, especially after Xuanyuan Haotian ascended the throne. Unfortunately, when they found out that she was
By the time I was able to survive in the Xia Lai Country in what capacity, it was already too late.
It is not without reason for agreeing to help Lin Yinan deal with the prince, the Nangong family and others. They want revenge. No matter what Xuanyuan Youran has done, it is their Qingming Kingdom's business. Even if it is killing, it should be done by themselves.
Instead of dying miserably in a foreign country, Lin Mubai and Zi Ningshuang thought that after Lin Yinan ascended the throne, Qingming Kingdom would never let him go.
So many years of things, so many complicated grievances.
After Lu Zhiyao listened to what Zi Ningshuang and Lin Mubai said, she began to regret that she should not stay here.
She no longer had the courage to look into Lin Yinan's eyes. Lu Zhiyao retorted, but she could not defeat the conclusive evidence in Zi Ningshuang's hands. And she also knew in her heart that there were some words that Lin Mubai could not say casually.
.On this trip today, if he was not absolutely sure that what he said was true, he would not have come to tell Lin Yinan.
Lin Yinan didn't say another word, not even when Lin Mubai and Zi Ningshuang left.
Lin Yinan was always sitting on the dragon chair, while Lu Zhiyao was standing at the door, motionless.
She didn't dare to look at him, so she couldn't see the complicated expression on his face when he was staring at her, and the red eyes, not to mention the fists he clenched again and again, and the expression when he was unable to loosen them.
Helplessness and despair.
Finally, Lin Yinan stood up from the chair.
He walked step by step in the direction of Lu Ziyao, then passed her by and walked out of the room without pausing or hesitating.
No amount of uneasiness could offset the fear in Lu Zhiyao's heart at this moment. He hurriedly looked back and grabbed the corner of his clothes, but what he held in his hands was only air.
How could she not know the resentment in his heart, how could she not understand the pain he had endured for many years. But...
Lu Zhiyao stared blankly at the direction Lin Yinan was leaving. When he gradually walked away and she almost lost sight of him, she suddenly realized. Taking steps, she ran towards him. When she reached behind him,
At that time, the words had reached her throat but she didn't have the courage to say them out again. The only thing she could do was to hold on to the corner of his clothes and refuse to let him go.
Like a child who had done something wrong, Lu Zhiyao lowered his head and looked at his slightly trembling hands and the clothes that belonged to him.
"release."
These two short words made Lu Zhiyao's body tremble.
Not listening to Lin Yinan's words, Lu Zhiyao held on to his clothes. Slowly she raised her eyes and looked at his stiff back. After a long time, she slowly spoke and asked: "Yinan, are you, no?"
Will you want me again..."
Tears had already reached his eyes as he spoke. Lin Yinan's turned face made Lu Zhiyao even more desperate, because she could clearly see the hatred and boredom in his eyes.
"Let go!" Lin Yinan repeated what he had just said to her. Lu Zhiyao's hands shook in fright, and the clothes fell from her hands in the wind.
"Leave me alone for a while."
These were the last words Lin Yinan said to her, and it also made Lu Zhiyao no longer have the courage to catch up with him.
This was the first time he asked her to let go, and it was also the first time he told her that he wanted to be alone.
Lu Zhiyao suddenly felt that the day was so cold, the wind was so icy, the palace was so empty, and the world was so big.
After standing for a long time, Lu Zhiyao slowly stretched out his hand, then raised his head and looked at the sky.
Snowflakes fell one by one, fell on her palms, and turned into snow water.
Unknowingly, this season has arrived.
Lu Zhiyao looked at the snow and smiled lightly.
The world is so big, but there is no place that can accommodate her. No matter how good that person is, after all, he is not hers.
The tears he held back finally flowed down. Lu Zhiyao hugged his body and slowly squatted down, not daring to cry out.
Qi Ran, how could she do such a thing? She always smiled at her gently, always appeared by her side when she was being punished and told her to be strong, and always secretly helped her do it.
Those things that Xia Zhenkun didn't let her do were always...
Lu Zhiyao could no longer think about it. Lin Yinan's figure had completely disappeared into the night. She looked around helplessly, but found that there was no one around her who could scare her except him.
When she is at a loss, she is the one who can stand in front of her and help her solve her problems.
