Lin Jingmo lives in the government office in the northern border city, and there is still no evidence of the crimes of Chen Mianzheng and Qi Xuanyi. Shang Shixu also did not return to the government office for many days.
But there is one more person living in Fuya, and that is Han Zilan.
Lin Jingmo often wonders where the connection between Nanling and the Northern Territory will be.
On this day, after Lin Jingmo had breakfast, news came from outside that Beiyan troops were pressing on the border. This time, the vanguard force numbered 300,000 people.
Lin Jingmo was very worried about Shang Shixu, but as a family member guarding the city, he could not leave easily.
Although the two seemed unhappy recently, as news of Beiyan's invasion came, Lin Jingmo began to guard the city gate, hoping to get news of Beiyan's withdrawal.
Han Zilan heard that Lin Jingmo was waiting on the tower, so she also went to the tower. However, she didn't seem to be worried about Shang Shixun, but was more concerned about the person in front of her: Lin Jingmo.
Lin Jingmo saw her but didn't pay much attention to her. In her opinion, the country was suffering from internal and external troubles and there was no time to worry about the love and hatred of her children. However, she forgot one thing. Han Zilan hated her deeply. Compared with
Without Shang Shixu's love, what she cared about more was that Lin Jingmo could be with Shang Shixu.
From beginning to end, Han Zilan has never loved anyone, or the person she loves is actually herself.
Han Zilan walked to Lin Jingmo's side, seemingly not caring about the war ahead. She looked at Lin Jingmo with disdain, and then said: "This time Beiyan is bound to win. Although my cousin is smart, he has never led an army. As for
That Shen Yifeng is just a dandy, what else do you expect him to do for you?"
Lin Jingmo replied: "It sounds like you don't want Shang Shixu to win? You are also from Southern Qi. Do you want your homeland to fall and the people to be displaced?"
"Ha..." Han Zilan laughed out loud and said: "Since my father died, I have no home and have been living a homeless life. I can live such a life, why can't others? Lin Jing
Mo, you are not a god. Why do you think you can save those people? Just because my cousin is willing to give everything for you? Stop being so naive. This time, you are wrong. You are so wrong.
You don’t know your cousin at all, whether it’s his past or his present. How would you know what kind of life he lived in the past? When you lived a prosperous life with no worries about food and clothing, my cousin
But he has to endure being chased over and over again, and even has to make a living by begging, so how can he help his enemies?"
"Help his... enemy?" Lin Jingmo asked with confusion on his face: "Who is his enemy? Is it me?"
Han Zilan smiled and said nothing, and there was even a kind of arrogance in her smile. She said to Lin Jingmo: "From the beginning to the end, you don't understand my cousin. You think his strong love is just a momentary infatuation."
That’s all.”
Lin Jingmo looked at Han Zilan in surprise. At this moment, her heart was in turmoil. She asked: "Han Zilan, who is his enemy...?"
Han Zilan turned her head and glanced at Lin Jingmo from top to bottom, and said coldly: "Do you want to know how my father died?"
She looked into Lin Jingmo's eyes, approached her step by step, and finally said: "I actually killed my father. My father, his status was the same as yours in the Lin family. He was the brother of the former crown prince.
, our Han family was once a famous family in the previous dynasty, but a disaster completely destroyed our family, and even killed the entire family!"
"The previous dynasty..." Lin Jingmo fell into deep thought. What does this have to do with Shang Shixu? The previous dynasty has been destroyed for thirty years, so who is the prince of the previous dynasty? But... isn't Han Zilan's father Shang Shixu's uncle?
Then the business sequence is...
Thinking of this, Lin Jingmo couldn't help being shocked. He looked up at Han Zilan who was condescending and asked, "What do you mean..."
"That's right!" Han Zilan continued: "My cousin is the orphan of the former prince. Back then, the prince and his wife escaped from the palace. He hid for a lifetime, but was discovered by the officers and soldiers one day after his aunt had her cousin. In order to save his life, he
His cousin's life was to save his only bloodline. The prince chose to hide again and again, but he could not escape the emperor's pursuit. Finally, in order to protect his aunt, he chose to stand up and be arrested. The previous prince was sentenced to death. My dear
In order to deceive others, my aunt even repeatedly took medicine to postpone the birth date, until she finally died of hemorrhage during childbirth. Before she died, she entrusted her cousin to her personal maid, who is now Mrs. Shang."
"This can't be true..." Rather than not believing in Han Zilan, Lin Jingmo said she couldn't believe her. She took a few steps back, but was stopped by the cold wall. She opened her eyes wide and asked, "Do you have any
What evidence? Do you know what the consequences will be if you slander Shang Shijie by saying these words? He is..."
"Rebellion!" Before Lin Jingmo could say anything, Han Zilan spoke first and said: "The crime of rebellion is to punish the nine tribes, and I will be implicated by him. I have known this for a long time, since my father sent him to
I knew it as soon as I got home. I was only seven years old at that time. My mother, the eldest of the family, was almost entirely killed because of my aunt. Our family fled to Jiangnan, leaving only my father and me.
Life, when I knew that my father was bringing the former royal family closer to my family, in order to save my life, I went to report..."
Lin Jingmo looked at Han Zilan's gradually distorted face and couldn't understand it more and more. Even if it was for her father, she shouldn't do such a thing...
Han Zilan recalled the past, feeling miserable, but with a hysterical smile on her face, she said: "Because I was still a child at the time... The officers and soldiers told me that as long as I revealed the traces of the former royal family, he would spare me.
I spared my family...but...but he lied to me...they...they killed my father! My only relative, at that time, how I wished that time could go back, how I wished that my father could go back.
He can survive, as long as he is not dead, I will never reveal my cousin’s whereabouts..."
Han Zilan's tears gradually flowed out from her heartless eye sockets. Even she herself did not understand what kind of person she was. However, her pain was indeed real and powerless. For so many years, she held on to be strong.
My heart is already fragile.
Lin Jingmo looked at the crying Han Zilan with mixed feelings in her heart. She was also a poor person. She had been living in pain, right?
