The Ji family is the largest family in Jiangnan. They have been occupying the area since the previous dynasty, and their power is comparable to that of local princes.

According to the ancestral precepts of the Ji clan, women from the clan are not allowed to enter the palace to become queens...

This is also the reason why, although the Ji family is very prominent among the southern clans, they are always lacking something in Kyoto, the imperial city where power is concentrated.

By the time of Ji Heng's generation, the Ji family had begun to decline, and the rise of the Zheng family in Jiangnan threatened the status of the Ji family. They needed in-laws to consolidate the power of the Ji family, so they sent many beauties to Kyoto to the Tianji Palace.

The position of a mere princess is certainly not something they can be satisfied with.

They knew that Lin Ziqi was no ordinary person, and coupled with some rumors... Ji Heng had evil thoughts.

Since the women of the Ji clan cannot marry the emperor and become his queen, then they, the Ji clan, will support an emperor. In this way, the Ji clan will not only be the head of the Jiangnan clans, but also the head of the clans in the world!

Ji Heng is an ambitious and calculating person...

But he didn't expect that even though Lin Ziqi had orthodox blood and the ability to become king, he had no intention of doing so.

In order to force Lin Ziqi, they forced Ji Shiying, but they did not expect that they would be counterproductive. Not only did they fail to force Lin Ziqi to rebel, but they caused the couple to be separated. Lin Ziqi was persecuted by Wuzong and died on the night Ji Shiying gave birth...

At that time, Ji Shiying and Lin Ziqi had already fallen in love with each other, but they did not expect that fate would play tricks on them.

Lin Ziqi had no intention of treason, but Wuzong believed the rumors spread by the Ji family about the so-called royal orthodoxy and wanted to kill the entire Tianji Palace.

More than ten years have passed, Emperor Wuzong passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne, but Ji Heng was always in nightmares day and night. It was the fire in Tianji Palace and Ji Shiying covered in blood with a look of despair and hatred.

"I curse you and your entire Ji family. May you never have a good end or a good death!"

Just sixteen years later, the curse was fulfilled.

The torches held by the officers and soldiers distorted and blurred the face of the young man in front of them. Looking at the young man who was slowly approaching like a demon, Ji Heng said in a trembling voice: "Let the Ji family members go..."

"For your grandmother's sake, at least give them a chance to survive..."

"I can, in exchange for a secret."

"Your mother, she's still alive!"

……

Almost at the same time, in the small kitchen, Aunt Yuan looked terrified and seemed to mutter to herself: "How could he be the regent?"

"Everyone knows that the Regent's parents died on the day he was born, but that day, I clearly heard him call that woman... Mother!"

The wind chimes hanging under the eaves were jingling, and the setting sun fell on the carved lattice windows covered with spider webs, bearing traces of the passing years.

Under the interweaving of light and shadow, everything before my eyes seemed to become bizarre...

It was a seemingly ordinary night when a group of men in black quietly surrounded the garden where she was working.

At that time, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to do anything. They knelt on the ground trembling and could only hear the sounds of fighting and screaming.

The male owner of the house seemed to know Kung Fu, but he was seriously injured after just a few moves by the black-clothed man in the lead. Aunt Yuan heard him curse the man intermittently, saying he was inhumane and an evil ghost.

The smell of blood overwhelmed the fragrance of the exotic flowers and plants in the garden. They thought they were doomed, but they didn't expect that the men in black would let them, who were invited to help in the garden, go.

She was not from the garden but was a helper, so she luckily escaped the disaster and dared not say a word to anyone else.

Aunt Yuan relied on her courage and took a quick look. The leader was a man wearing black clothes and a mask, with cold eyes!

The man wore a hideous animal-head mask, and his eyes were colder than those of a wild animal. Aunt Yuan had nightmares for several days after just one look...

After waiting for a few days, she mustered up the courage to go and inquire about the family, but found that the whole city was calm and there was no news of any family massacre.

And that beautiful garden that looked like a palace in heaven disappeared overnight, as if it had never existed.

If it weren't for the hidden box of jewelry, Aunt Yuan would have thought that those things were just a nightmare.

After this incident, Aunt Yuan didn't dare to stay in Lin'an City any longer, so she came to Jinling. However, she didn't expect that she would meet that man again after five years!

"There were more than a hundred people in that garden. He killed more than a hundred people with his own hands. The blood flowed like a river. He was the devil..."

"I saw with my own eyes that he plunged a sword into a woman's chest. That was...his biological mother."

"The Regent killed his own mother with his own hands!"

……

It was three years later that Lin Xun actually met his biological mother Ji Shiying. It was the first and last time mother and son met.

Because of his arbitrary decision, he only confiscated the property of the Ji clan and exiled the descendants of the Ji clan, but did not completely eradicate this ancient clan, which violated the will of Emperor Huaimin.

Perhaps it was the incident of confiscating the Ji family that made Emperor Huaimin realize that the sword in his hand was almost sharpened, but he was not sure he could fully control it.

Therefore, Emperor Huai Min thought of the rumors about the Azure Lotus Karma Fire...

He wanted Lin Xun to be completely used by him, Dayin, and the Lin royal family!

After returning to Kyoto from Nanjing, Emperor Huai Min's training of Lin Xun became increasingly cruel. The number of ferocious beasts in the zoo increased exponentially, and Lin Xun was sent to the southern border to train in Prince Mu's military camp.

Because King Tianji and Prince Mu were old friends, he taught Lin Xun everything he knew. Prince Mu was a famous general of the time, and although Lin Xun had only been with him for a year, he was already better than him.

A year later, Mobei invaded and the border was in danger.

Emperor Huaimin deliberately placed a brocade robe and jade belt and a military seal and jade seal in front of Lin Xun for him to choose. As expected, Lin Xun chose the latter.

Emperor Huai Min at that time was probably thinking that the Green Lotus Karma Fire Poison was like an iron chain locked around Lin Xun's neck. No matter how far away he was, he could still restrain Lin Xun.

But Emperor Huai Min forgot that the young tiger had already grown claws and fangs, and would rather be strangled to a bloody pulp by the chains than compromise!

Emperor Huaimin lost control of Lin Xun and the entire Mobei, and without Lin Xun's protection, his situation in the palace became even worse.

He had been a mastermind throughout his life, and thought he could calculate people's hearts, but he never expected that he would end up dying at the hands of the eunuch party he hated the most...

In the second year after the Kyoto government fell into the hands of the eunuch party, Lin Xun in Mobei had become the uncrowned king.

At this time, he received a letter from southern Yunnan...

King Mu died at the hands of people from southern Xinjiang. According to investigation, there was a spy in the army, and the spy was a member of the eunuch party.

Mu Xingyun asked Lin Xun to go to Jinling to plan a big event to avenge the unjust death of King Mu and the soldiers in southern Yunnan...

The time is right, they need to join forces to restore order!

This was what Mu Xingyun said in his letter back then. Lin Xun didn't know at that time that it was another huge conspiracy.
