Grandfather grandmother!

Could it be that his grandparents who had been raising him and teaching him martial arts were the ones who were orphaned by the national master?

Could it be that his grandfather took him to live in the mountains since he was a child, exposed him to poisonous insects, and allowed him to tinker with those weird things, which were the so-called secret techniques of the Imperial Prefecture?

Seeing Yan Lilan's appearance, Zheng Zhien raised his chin slightly, "You have thought of it, right? In fact, the person who raised you named you Yan Lilan, so do you know the last name of the national master?"

Yan Lilan shook her head stiffly, "What's your last name?"

Zheng Zhien said, "The Imperial Master's surname is Li. Why did the person who raised you call you Yan Lilan? Maybe your real name is actually Li Lan——"

Whispering these two words, Zheng Zhien suddenly became dazed.

He said softly, "Lilan, Lilan... stay away from the disputes and fights in the court. Maybe... Lilan is the name your father gave you. He hopes that you can stay away from the waves all your life and grow up peacefully... "

Zheng Zhien's voice stopped suddenly.

He lowered his head, sinking into ever more unspeakable pain.

Obviously he and Yan Lilan were both descendants of the Imperial Master's Office, but their status in the eyes of the Imperial Master was completely different.

One was abandoned like a pair of worn shoes, the other was treated like a treasure.

One has never received the love of his father, while the other has received the deepest love from his dying father.

Ironic.

If that damn Imperial Master hated him so much, why did he have to give birth to him again?

Rather than abandoning him in a mass grave after he was born, it would be better to let him be stillborn and save him from suffering twenty-one years of suffering in this world!

When Zheng Zhien lowered his head and laughed at himself, Yan Lilan fell into an unprecedented confusion.

He had known since he was a child that he was picked up by his grandparents, but he never thought that he would be related to the Imperial Preceptor's Office. He turned out to be the son of the Imperial Preceptor.

That was the Imperial Master. He was a great figure who was at the peak of his power more than ten years ago. He was so powerful that no one could match him.

He has never enjoyed the glory of the National Preceptor's Office since he was born, but now, he has to bear the hatred of annihilating his family because of this blood relationship. What should he do?

Yan Lilan lowered her head and looked at the knife at her waist.

he……

Is he going to seek revenge on the young emperor and regent Ji Wushang who just ascended the throne?

He doesn't want revenge.

The bloody feud in the Imperial Prefecture was too far away for him. He had never experienced the bloody massacre. He could not put himself into that kind of hatred. He did not want to ruin his life because of those bloody feuds.

He grew up in a peaceful town. All he wanted in his life was to have a beautiful wife and a lovely child to live happily with him. He didn't want to be a murderous weapon.

But if he doesn't take revenge, how can his mother, who worked so hard to give birth to him, and his father, who fought so hard to send him away, forgive him?

After all, it was because of those two people that he came to this world. He knew clearly about the blood feud in the Imperial Prefect's Mansion but did not seek revenge. How could he be worthy of those two people?

When Yan Lilan was in a state of confusion, Jing Xunhe's anxious voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Brother Alan——"

"Brother A Lan, were you plotted by that bad guy? Why don't you come out?"

"Brother A Lan! If you don't come out, brother Chen Song and I will break open the door and rush in!"

"..."

Jing Xunhe's calls freed Yan Lilan from the struggle and contradiction.

He slowly raised his head, trying to shake off the mess of emotions.

He said to the door in a calm voice, "Don't worry, He'er, I'm fine."

After responding to Jing Xunhe, he looked at Zheng Zhien again.

He whispered, "Thank you for telling me this. I will keep it a secret, and I will definitely not expose your identity and mine. Now, I plan to go back to Jing's house with He'er first. I have to observe Ji Wushang closely, and then Then decide how to go in the future——"

He asked Zheng Zhien, "Where are you going next?"

Zheng Zhien smiled and said, "I will also go back to Jing's house with you. Didn't I tell you that I have a request from Ji Wushang? I have to go and be courteous to him and hug his thigh so that he can allow me to live in the palace and treat me." This is a long-term illness.”

Yan Lilan was stunned when she saw Zheng Zhien saying so frankly that Xian Yingqin hugged his thigh.

He stared at Zheng Zhien, his eyes a little complicated.

"Ji Wushang is a member of the royal family. The royal family wiped out the entire family of our Imperial Master's House. When you face Ji Wushang... don't you have any hatred at all?"

Zheng Zhien looked at Yan Lilan.

He corrected, "It's not our Imperial Prefect's Office, it's your Imperial Prefect's Office. I'm just an abandoned baby abandoned by the Imperial Prefect's Office. From the moment I was ruthlessly abandoned by them, I am no longer a member of the Imperial Prefect's Office." No matter whether they were exterminated fourteen years ago or whether their bodies will be exhumed and crushed and ashes scattered in the future, it has nothing to do with me, and their enemies are naturally not my enemies."

Yan Lilan had nothing to say.

Moreover, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Zheng Zhien's coolness.

Since he has been abandoned by the Imperial Preceptor's Office from the moment he was born, there is really no need to force the hatred of the Imperial Preceptor's Office onto himself. The first half of this person's life has been very painful, and there is really no need to abandon him again. He sacrificed the rest of his life for his own National Preceptor's Office.

Zheng Zhien kept staring at Yan Lilan.

He wanted to see if Yan Lilan would dislike him for drawing a clear line between him and the Imperial Master's Office.

Seeing Yan Lilan's understanding eyes at this moment, he felt relieved.

He smiled and patted Yan Lilan's shoulder and whispered, "When I go to Jing's house later, I may be shameless to please Ji Wushang and Jing Feiyuan, but I will be shameless to achieve my goal. I hope you... …”

Before he could finish speaking, Yan Lilan said quickly, "I understand! I really understand the pain in your heart, and I know how much you want to be a normal person!"

After a pause, he stared into Zheng Zhien's eyes and said word by word, "Brother, I really hope you can cure your disease. I hope you will grow taller and stronger than me!"

Zheng Zhien was caught off guard when he heard the word "brother" and was stunned.

he……

He is also an older brother!

Someone called him brother!

He looked at Yan Lilan with wide eyes. After a few breaths, tears slowly appeared in his eyes.

He reached out to touch Yan Lilan's forehead and choked with sobs, "Okay, okay, thank you A Lan, thank you so much -"

Yan Lilan lowered her head and looked at the short and childish brother in front of her, jumping up and touching his forehead like a mature adult, and couldn't help but laugh.

Zheng Zhien couldn't help but laugh when he saw his embarrassed look.

He clicked his tongue twice, put his little hands on his waist and muttered angrily, "Look at the damn height difference. The scene at this moment should have been a tall and strong brother standing in front of you, looking down at you, bending down to slap you on the forehead, but... "

He shook his head and felt tired and didn't want to talk anymore. He waved his hand for Yan Lilan to follow him out.

The two of them walked out of the room one after another, and met the inquiring eyes of Jing Xunhe and Chen Song when they stepped out.

Jing Xunhe asked in a low voice, "Brother A Lan, why have you been talking behind closed doors for so long? What did you say?"
