After reading the two secret letters, Lin Luoling realized that the real cause of death of Chen Yin's father was not death in the battlefield, but the struggle for power by the second prince, Prince Rui.

After Lin Luoling was reborn, she thought that the extermination of the Lin family was caused by the second prince, Prince Rui, and that Marquis Yongning and Zhu Xianzhi were just dogs raised by Prince Rui.

These two secret letters would be her knives in the future, enough to trap the Second Prince in a cage. If the timing was right, they would be the Second Prince's death warrant.

After thinking it over, Lin Luoling didn't want Chen Yin to know the real cause of her father's death.

It’s not because she’s not sincere to Chen Yin, but because she doesn’t want Chen Yin to live in hatred, just like she is now.

After carefully reading all the secret letters, bills and other items in the cloth bag, Lin Luoling picked out three secret letters that were useless to her but useful to King An, and gave them to Biyou, asking Biyou to deliver the three secret letters to King An at night.

"Dong dong dong..."

There were three very light knocks on the door.

Bizhi's eyes darkened slightly and she asked, "Who?"

A strange man's voice came from outside the door, "I am the secret guard of His Royal Highness Prince An."

Lin Luoling raised her eyebrows slightly and motioned Bizhi to open the door.

After the door was opened, the man walked into the room. The bright candlelight illuminated the man's face clearly.

Lin Luoling could not forget this face. When they were at Jingfu Temple, Lan Wanyun caught her playing chess with Prince An, and Prince An ordered the secret guards to throw Lan Wanyun off the mountain.

The man in front of him was the secret guard.

"His Royal Highness Prince An knows that things have been unsettled in the Yongning Marquis' Mansion recently, so he has ordered his subordinates to protect Miss Lin." The secret guard clasped his fists and bowed.

The back window was gently pushed open, Jiang Chi poked his head out and said with a smile: "Sister, he is indeed the secret guard of His Royal Highness Prince An, just give him the three secret letters."

Lin Luoling threw the remaining half cup of tea to Jiang Chi, who caught it steadily and said with a smile, "My sister is considerate and knows that my brother is thirsty."

Lin Luoling snorted: "Why haven't you left yet?"

Jiang Chi jumped in through the window, put the empty teacup on the table, snatched the three secret letters from Biyou, handed them to the secret guard and said, "Take them to Prince An and tell him that this prince's sister gave them to him. Ask him to read them carefully."

Jiang Chi answered Lin Luoling's question just after the secret guard left. "I can't help it. I didn't expect my sister to be so smart and get the bag before me. Biyou is very nimble and made me run for nothing."

Afterwards, Jiang Chi dismissed Biyou and Bizhi, and discussed with Lin Luoling: "It is not safe to keep this bundle with you. I know your plan. Why don't we put this bundle in the library of the Lin Mansion? Even if the rocks are removed, others will not be able to find it.

When you need it, tell me and I'll give it to you intact, how about that?"

Lin Luoling stared at Jiang Chi for a moment.

It was indeed inappropriate to keep those two secret letters with her, and they might even bring her fatal disaster, but could she trust Jiang Chi?

After considering for a moment, she chose to trust Jiang Chi, handed the bag to him, and said sincerely: "Thank you, brother, for keeping it for me."

Jiang Chi's eyes deepened, and he said seriously: "I will keep it well for my sister and will never let you down."

Without saying anything more, Jiang Chi left through the back window carrying his bag.

That night, all the masters and servants in the Yongning Marquis' Mansion stayed awake all night, except for the masters and servants of Shuxi Pavilion, who slept soundly.

Especially Lin Luoling, who fell into a deep sleep as soon as she lay down. Although she slept very late, she woke up very early.

It was because after Zhu Xianzhi took the silver and left the mansion, he knocked on the doors of every pharmacy one by one and announced his name, but no doctor dared to come to Yongning Marquis's mansion to treat Lan Wanshuang's injuries.

As soon as the sky turned pale, Zhu Xianzhi couldn't wait to knock on the gate of Shuxi Pavilion.

Lin Luoling heard the old woman's low report outside the door, so she got up, dressed, went next door to wake up Chen Yin, and left Shuxi Pavilion together. The two of them slowly followed Zhu Xianzhi and walked towards Chunlan Courtyard.

Zhu Xianzhi didn't dare to rush them, for fear of making Chen Yin angry and not treating Lan Wanshuang's injuries, so he had to be patient and slow down his pace.

After entering Lan Wanshuang's room, Lin Luoling and Chen Yin saw Lan Wanshuang lying on the bed in a daze. The few hairs on her head swayed slightly with the rise and fall of her breathing, and clumps of hair were scattered beside and under the pillow.

Even though Lin Luoling was not proficient in medical skills, he could guess what was going on just by taking a glance.

Chen Yin examined Lan Wanshuang's pulse and found that her liver and kidneys had been severely damaged. Even with the best tonic medicine and acupuncture, she could only live for two years at most.

As for Lan Wanshuang's hair, it will never grow back.

Chen Yin told Zhu Xianzhi the truth about Lan Wanshuang's condition.

Zhu Xianzhi said in disbelief: "I thought my mother's hair was plucked out by my father. From what you said, isn't that true?"

Shen Yin shook her head and said, “Even if your father didn’t beat your mother, your mother’s hair would still fall off.”

Zhu Xianzhi's slender almond-shaped eyes seemed to be poisoned. No matter how stupid he was, he could guess that it was the court doctor who was secretly playing tricks.

Chen Yin examined Lan Wanshuang's injuries again and sighed, "Your father was really cruel. Your mother's lumbar vertebrae and hip bone were fractured, and three ribs were broken. Fortunately, her lungs were not pierced, otherwise your mother would have died long ago."

Sighing again and again, Shen Yin said truthfully: "Your mother will not be able to get out of bed in the future. Even if you ask Dr. Pang to come, he can't cure your mother's injuries."

Lin Luoling secretly shed tears beside him, tugging at Chen Yin's sleeves, choking and saying, "Sister, no matter what you say, you must treat my mother-in-law with all your heart, using the best medicinal materials, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, that is good.

My mother-in-law was beaten like this, and I don’t know how much pain she must be in. Sister, please relieve the pain for my mother-in-law first, at least to prevent her from falling into a coma. I was really scared when I saw it.”

Lin Luoling played the role of a virtuous wife to the fullest. Zhu Xianzhi, who was watching from the side, felt that even his own daughter would do no more than this.

When Chen Yin heard Lin Luoling say this, he naturally understood what Lin Luoling meant.

After Lan Wanshuang woke up, she clearly saw that her hair was falling out. Her face was dark and lifeless. Due to the serious liver damage, the whites of her eyes must have been red. There were a few scattered dry hairs on the top of her head. She looked no different from the scary evil spirit that crawled out of the Netherworld.

To learn that she only had two years left to live and would be paralyzed in bed would be even more painful and desperate than letting her die.

Kill people and kill your heart.

Therefore, Lin Luoling's move was to first destroy his heart and then let him die in an inglorious way.

Chen Yin felt that Lin Luoling was really cruel to Lan Wanshuang.

Just at this time, Zhu Jingzhong brought Zhou Jiaoling to Chunlan Courtyard. Seeing Lan Wanshuang in such a miserable state, Zhu Jingzhong did not feel the slightest bit of guilt. Instead, he glanced at Lan Wanshuang out of the corner of his eye, as if he wished Lan Wanshuang would die soon.

Zhu Jingzhong and Lin Luoling said, "Last night, the courtyard of housekeeper Zhou and his wife was flooded and they were burned to death in the house. My elder brother and sister-in-law asked you to go to the east courtyard."

Upon hearing this, Lin Luoling turned to look at Biyou.

So, Biyou found the bag for her from the fire last night.

Biyou met Lin Luoling's gaze and lowered her head silently.

Lin Luoling suppressed the words that were choking in her throat and said to Zhu Jingzhong, "My daughter-in-law knows."

Zhu Jingzhong had no intention of leaving and raised his eyebrows at her.

Lin Luoling became even more convinced that although the East and West Courts had separated, the hearts of the brothers Yongning Hou and Zhu Jingzhong had not yet been separated.

The reason why she was asked to go to the East Courtyard was that Marquis Yongning and his wife wanted to use the death of Zhou Quan and his wife to discuss the handover of power. This was the best time to throw the mess of Marquis Yongning's Mansion to her.
