Wrong Changhuan

On September [-]th, after Lan'er's Jiji ceremony, Ruyu, mother and daughter and I had dinner together, and Uncle Zhong also waited on us.

I said, let's taste the jug of wine given by Uncle Bao, the head of the Ministry of Rites, today.

Uncle Zhong immediately ordered someone to fetch it, and carefully drank a cup first before pouring it out for me.He has always been so cautious all these years, but I am actually not afraid of death.

There is a lot of wine in the palace. I love wine on weekdays, and many people love it and send it to me.

The reason why he was only impressed by this wine was that Bao Shuying said at the time that it was a famous wine produced in Jiangling and had been cellared for ten years.

Afterwards, both Qi Ruyu and Lan Er drank it, they were all fine, only I was poisoned.

Uncle Zhong asked the imperial physician of the mansion to investigate, and said that he only knew about the poisoning, but he couldn't find out what it was.

The emperor soon found out, and sent the best old imperial doctor in the palace to the palace for consultation.

Doctor Wang has a gray beard, but his face is full of red, and his teeth are still at their posts.There are quite a few elderly people in Nan'an High School.There are not many people who may live like this.

This is not the first time I have seen Royal Physician Wang.After feeling the pulse, he asked some more questions, and Uncle Zhong answered them one by one.

Physician Wang looked, frowning, looking a little troubled.

I said, Mr. Wang, you have something to say, no matter what the result is, this king will not embarrass you.

Wang Lao said, the poison was put in the wine, it was strange to say, it looked like poison but not poison, like Gu but not Gu, the old man had never seen such a strange disease in his life.I am afraid that I dare not jump to conclusions for a while.It's like... that poison was specially customized for the prince.But the princess is a blood relative of the prince, but she was not poisoned...

After listening to Uncle Zhong, he said that it sounded like witchcraft, so he called Mr. Wang a quack doctor.

I don't know how Uncle Zhong has protected me all these years.He took care of me when I was born, and he devoted almost all of his life to the Jiangxia Palace.I once advised him to marry a wife and have children. The affairs of the palace will never end, but he declined me.How could I not know that his whole life was almost for me.

I said, Laner is not my blood.

Elder Wang was shocked when he heard that, and so was Uncle Zhong.

Wang Lao said, I didn't hear anything about what happened today.The poison on the prince, the old minister can give the prince an analogy... During the rainy season, there was a sealed room with a hole in the roof, so the house began to leak slowly.Now we only know that there is a hole, but we don't know where the hole is, how big the hole is, whether the hole is square or round... This room is your body, my lord.This hole is your poison.If the leaks are not plugged, the house will be flooded one day.Now, we don't know anything about this poison, which is very troublesome.

Uncle Zhong took all the other jugs of wine that Uncle Bao had sent, and Doctor Wang inspected them one by one.

Wang Lao said that both are poisonous, and the same poison.

I said, Mr. Wang, do your best. If you need anything, just talk to Uncle Zhong. If it can’t be cured, I don’t blame you.

Wang Lao said, the old minister tried to prescribe a prescription, and the prince tried it first to see the effect.

Later, Uncle Zhong came back to report after investigating the case, saying that the head of the Ministry of Rites who gave the gift was not the emperor's man, but a courtier who was killed because of the former crown prince.What is the poison and who made it, without asking, the man bit his tongue and committed suicide.

I took several medicines, but nothing improved.

Wang Lao said that the prince's health is getting worse and worse, and it is not a solution to try this way.

Uncle Zhong asked, what should we do?You are an imperial doctor, what do you say?

Wang Lao said that the prince may have blood relatives, preferably young and strong direct blood relatives.

I said no.

Wang Lao said, maybe there is another way, go to Wuyun Castle in the southwest, ask the high priest of the Wu clan to help with diagnosis and treatment, maybe there is still a glimmer of life.It's just that the high priest never goes out of the mountain.

I asked, how long is my life left?

Mr. Wang said, there are still about three months, and the old minister is not sure about the exact time.

On that day, I decided to let the poison go.

I went to the palace to have a face-to-face with the saint, and told Ah Yuan that Nan'an will be handed over to him in the future, and I will completely let go.

He has indeed grown up, and he no longer relies on me for help in everything he did when he was a child.

I compiled some lists for him, and asked him to meet with important officials from various places in the name of the southern tour, so as to win them over and appease them.

Although he was reluctant to give up, he didn't say anything, he just told me to take care of myself.

Then I thought, even if I die, I want to be closer to Yu'er when I die.So they decided to go to Jiangling.

While going all the way south, I also want to take another look at the country that I have spent half my life managing and protecting.

Uncle Zhong refused to give up and parted ways with me. I went to Jiangdong, and he went to southwest.

In Jiangdong, I didn't go to Hou's Mansion, but ordered Chenyu to deliver some things.It's good to know that they are living a healthy life now.

I didn't go to see my father, so far, I can't forgive the decision he made for me back then.

He thought his decision was right, it helped me and gave me supreme power, but for me, that decision ruined the rest of my life, and I lived in torment every day.

I would rather never get these, and I don't want to lose Yu'er.

The most noble thing in this world is not as good as her.

On the fifth day of October, when I had just ordered Chenyu to leave the inn after dinner, I ran into a child when I went out.She picked up my things and gave them back to me.

I looked at her and thought she looked familiar, but I couldn't remember where I met her.She seemed to have the shadow of Yu'er.

She said her name was Lin Xiaonuan, and she was a very interesting person.

She told me that the medicine should be swallowed in one gulp so that it will not be bitter.

Everyone in the world gives me beauties and jewelry, calligraphy and paintings by famous artists and good wine, but no one has ever given me candy to relieve my suffering.

I think it would be nice to have such a person by my side before I die.But she declined me.

I postponed the trip again and stayed in the inn for an extra day.

She was going to Xie's house, wading through the muddy water. Although I didn't know why, I felt that our fate was not over yet.

When I arrived in Jiangling, I finally arrived at the gate of the Lin Mansion again after ten years. This time I was not afraid.

However, the result is still the same.Yu'er, you don't want to see me.

I stayed in the post house and sent people to send greeting cards every day.

I don't know where Jiangling's guard Li Yuanchang found out about my preferences, maybe Wen Wushuang told him, and the layout of the post house is also in line with my wishes.

Uncle Zhong came back from Wuyun Castle in the southwest. He asked the high priest to test the poisoned wine, and finally confirmed that it was mixed with Gu and contained witches.

That Gu is called Lianxin.

Only the blood of the closest relatives can be solved.

I ignored it.

On the contrary, news from Jiangdong kept coming, that Lin Xiaonuan was punished, and soon became Xie Baitang's daughter again.I'm really curious, I don't know how she managed to fool Xie Baitang at such a young age.

On the same day, a little beggar at the gate of the post house delivered a letter, which made me unable to sit still.

There is only one sentence in the letter: Lin Changhuan is not the son of Wen Wushuang.Not signed.

I stood up abruptly, looked at the note, and read every word for a long time.But his thoughts were messed up.

Lin Changhuan, is that my daughter?

Uncle Zhong said, lord, this is a good thing, you are saved.

Her five-year-old appearance in Blind Mountain flashed in her mind, but she couldn't see it clearly.

I couldn't wait to ask Yu'er, took the note to the gate of the post house, and stopped again.

After this brief joy, I fell silent.

If Lin Changhuan is really the blood of Yu'er and me, then I shouldn't bother her.

I am not worthy to be her father, let alone let her save my life.

However, I really want to see her, to see her, even if it's just to have a meal together.

Uncle Zhong sent someone to investigate the little beggar, but there was no clue.The child only said that a big brother gave the money and asked him to give it.Otherwise, I can't ask anything.

A few days later, news came from Jiangdong that Lin Xiaonuan had injured her hand. Her real identity was Lin Changhuan from the Lin family in Jiangling.

That night, I didn't fall asleep.

Thinking over and over again, all the conversations I have had since the moment I met her at the Haitian Inn.

Thinking of her expression, thinking of her smile, every detail, I will not let it go.

It turned out that we had met before.

Two days later, at dusk, Lin Teng broke in alone, killed several guards, and was finally subdued by Uncle Zhong.

The last time I saw him was in Blind Mountain ten years ago, when he was still a half-grown guy following Lin Xun.Now, he has grown up, a little rough, with a shaggy beard, but he is still so reckless.

I asked, does Yu'er know you're coming?

He said, it has nothing to do with my elder sister that I killed you. Last time I said on Blind Mountain, if you dare to come to Jiangling to pester my elder sister again, I will definitely kill you.

I said, even if I am Lin Changhuan's father, do you want to kill me?

He froze there for a moment, silent for a moment.It's just that look, which already affirmed my words.

He said, who told you?

I said, someone wrote me a letter.

I showed him the note.

He said, even if it is, so what, Murong Ji, this will not change your identity as the enemy of our Lin family... If the elder sister hadn't stopped me these years, Lin Xiao and I would have killed you in the palace long ago.How dare you pester her, pester Chang Huan...

I didn't want to talk to him any more, so I told Uncle Zhong to take him down and treat his wounds.

Then, I asked Chenyu to deliver the letter to Lin's house.

This time, Yu'er took the initiative to board the door of the post house.

When I went out to greet her both excitedly and nervously, I saw that she stopped Wen Wushuang, Lin Xiao, and Lin Xun from the door, and walked in alone.

She still likes to wear blue dresses, the same as before.It's just that there is no smile, and that calmness.

I let her in and made tea for her.

I said, Yuer, long time no see.

She said, lord, how can you let my brother go?

I said, Yu'er, you used to call me Aji...

She said, my Aji died a long time ago.My lord, let's get down to business.

Such cold words and indifferent expression made my heart feel ashamed and my eyes sore.

I said, Yu'er, why didn't you tell me that she is my daughter?

She said, you are not worthy.

I said, I know that I am not worthy, and I also know that she is in Jiangdong...

I saw surprise on her face.

She said, since you know she is in Jiangdong, you should know that the reason I sent her so far is that I don't want you to see her.

I said, just take it as it is, this is the only condition for me to hand over Lin Tzu...

She said, you really are still for the purpose, use any means... Is everything in your eyes can be exchanged?

I said, or, you can also take it as a matter of fulfilling the last request of a dying person...

She stopped talking.

I said, Yu'er, this is my retribution... The situation at the time, I had no choice... If I could, I would rather die in Yuancheng.In the past ten years, I have not had a happy day...

She got up and left her seat, and stopped at the door.

She said, before paying off the debts of the Lin family, you'd better live...

After speaking, she left.

Later, I finally met Chang Huan.

She is very different from when she was in Jiangdong.

I don't blame her for her attitude towards me.For her, I have never fulfilled my responsibilities as a father, but I want her to meet me in this situation.

Looking at her appearance, I just feel that I am a little sad and a little distressed.

She has inherited too many of Yu'er's strengths, being courageous, careful, kind, and talented.Also like Yu'er, under that layer of cold camouflage, there is a soft and clean heart.

I only regret that I didn't stay with her for a few more days when I was in Jiangdong.

I only regret not getting to know her sooner.

I sent Chen Yang to her side, and I told Chen Yang that Chang Huan would be her master from now on.Chen Yang agreed and swore allegiance to Chang Huan. I am very pleased.

Later, when Chang Huan left Jiangling, I saw her for the last time from a distance, just like when Yuer left 15 years ago, I followed her secretly for a long time, but finally I had to let go.

Uncle Zhong advised me not to let her go.

But I just want her to be happy for the rest of her life.

Perhaps, this is the only thing I can do for her, as a father, before death comes.
