"Do you know how I know this?... It was a family member close to Ding Jinzhi who quietly sent a letter to me."
"A certain family member?...Who is it?" Seeing that Lian Nanchun knew everything about what happened in the court and palace even though he was not here, Ling Yun was also confused; after hearing what she said, he asked with interest.
"Ding Xin." Without a trace of hesitation, her voice was crisp and clear, like cutting through gold and jade.
"Ding Xin? Who is this Ding Xin?" Ling Yun raised his eyebrows slightly and pondered for a moment.
"Ding Xin is a close family member of Ding Jiying, and he was grateful to Mr. Lu for his kindness in the past." Lian Nanchun raised his chin slightly, his eyebrows calm.
Ling Yun frowned slightly and said, "With these two points alone, can he be willing to risk his life and betray his master to do such a bold thing?"
"Of course not." Lian Nanchun glanced at him with bright eyes like water, and said with a smile on his lips: "Since we can't hide everything from our discerning Commander Ling, I can only tell the truth."
She paused briefly, "Actually, this Ding Xin has another identity: he is an eyeliner I placed beside Ding Jinzhi."
A trace of surprise flashed across Ling Yun's eyes; then he sighed softly and said nothing.
Lian Nanchun said: "It's surprising, isn't it?"
"Although it is unexpected, it is reasonable." Ling Yun lowered his head and pondered, his eyes a little unclear.
"how do I say this?"
Ling Yun raised his head, the color in his eyes getting darker and darker, "Since Li Ruiyun can arrange eyeliners in the capital, the palace, and all the states, why can't you?"
Lian Nanchun's tone was as soft as a sigh, "You really understand me."
Ling Yun said: "It's just that I still have a little doubt."
"you say."
Ling Yun looked at her and said, "You and Li Ruiyun were both leaders of the Tianxiao organization back then. Why didn't Li Ruiyun know about Ding Xin?"
Lian Nanchun smiled bitterly and said: "Do I need to say this? Although Li Ruiyun and I worked together in the Tianxiao organization back then, we were actually incompatible with each other in appearance and heart. Li Ruiyun hid many things from me, and on my side Even Lee Seo-yoon doesn’t know some of the secrets.”
Ling Yun's clear eyes turned, "Including Ding Xin's matter?"
"Yes."
"What happened next?" Ling Yun chased after him.
Lian Nanchun said: "After hearing the news, I had a premonition that something was not good. After discussing with my aunt, I took out a medicine that my aunt had treasured for many years and was reluctant to use. It's called 'Nine Turns of Yin and Yang Qinlu Resurrection Pill'. I used the best quality medicine." The daughter's red medicinal wine was brewed and secretly handed over to Ding Xin."
Ling Yun said: "How did you know that Li Ruiyun would use this method to kill me instead of others?"
Lian Nanchun looked at his somewhat confused expression, smiled, and said with a serious and determined look, "Based on my understanding of Li Ruiyun over the years, and Ding Xin can inform me at any time."
A flash of understanding flashed across Ling Yun's eyes. He nodded slightly and asked what happened next.
Lian Nanchun said: "Later, Li Zhishan took the poisoned wine to Tianlao, but before that, Ding Xin took the opportunity to steal the daughter red who had put He Ding Hong in it."
Ling Yun said: "In other words, the 'Nine Turns of Yin and Yang Qinlu Resurrection Pill' that I drank at that time was a drug to fake death, not poisonous wine?"
"Not bad." Lian Nanchun nodded; in front of him, she had always been frank and outspoken.
Ling Yun suddenly let out a light sigh.
Lian Nanchun said: "What's wrong?"
Ling Yun said: "You can make a kind of elixir into the color and shape of 'Crane Crown Red', and after taking it, the state of suspended animation is no different from real death, and it can hide it from the eyes of a shrewd man like Li Ruiyun." , I’m afraid I’m the only one left in the world today. I really admire you, my aunt, and the Lian family’s peerless medicine.”
Lian Nanchun smiled slightly and said, "Thank you."
Sai Zhongjing curled his lips and said: "Actually, our practitioners have a lot of superb medical skills and medical principles, so this little trick means nothing."
Ling Yun sighed: "Without this 'little trick' from my aunt, how would Ling Yun still be alive now? Moreover, the medicine that my aunt had treasured for many years but was reluctant to use was finally used on Ling Yun, which actually made Ling Yun a little flattered. !”
"You brat, what do you mean by that? It doesn't sound right to me! To be honest, are you praising me or hurting me?" Sai Zhongjing rolled his eyes at him.
"Of course I'm complimenting you! If it weren't for your wonderful hands and kindness, Ling Yun would have died somewhere long ago! Alas, now that I think about the situation at that time, it's like two people in two lives -"
At this point, he couldn't help but suffocate his breath. The thought that flashed through his mind sent chills down his spine, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Zhichao, you...what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Ling Yun was graceful and elegant a moment ago and smiling, his face suddenly turned extremely ugly. Lian Nanchunfang's heart palpitated unconsciously, and her tone became even more full. Full of worry.
"Mother, mother..." Ling Yun clenched her lips tightly under her sleeves and murmured: "My mother... how is she?..."
Lian Nanchun lowered her eyes and her eyes dimmed; she silently glanced at the little aunt next to her, and the two looked at each other in silence for a long time.
Ling Yun already had a premonition that something was not going to happen. He raised his head and took a deep breath to prevent himself from fainting immediately.
He grabbed Lian Nanchun's hand tremblingly, and even his questioning voice became incoherent, "You are talking, Chun'er!... Tell me quickly, my mother... how is she?"
Lian Nanchun hesitated and turned his attention to Sai Zhongjing.
Lianxie said in a deep voice: "Chun'er, tell him the truth. Some things cannot be escaped - face the reality..."
Lian Nanchun pondered for a moment and said hoarsely: "Princess Chang Qing, she... is dead!..."
Ling Yun seemed to have stepped on the air and fell into the boundless void. His face immediately became as pale as frost; at that moment, he felt that his mind was completely blank.
He stared straight at her, biting his bloodless lips tightly with his teeth, just dazed in a daze, like a lifeless statue, unable to speak.
Lian Nanchun looked at his frightening expression and couldn't help feeling a little panicked. She gently held his hand and whispered: "Zhichao..."
"Chun'er, are you kidding me again? Stop making trouble, okay?..."
It took a long time for Ling Yun to regain his composure. He stabilized his expression, which was about to collapse, and stared straight into Lian Nanchun's eyes. He smiled weakly at the corner of his face and said, "Tell me, this is not true...Chun'er , please tell me quickly, this is not true!..."
He pinched Lian Nanchun's arm tightly, his nails almost digging into her flesh.
Lian Nanchun couldn't help but choke, his reddish eyes sparkling, and he said sadly: "Zhichao, things are already like this. No matter how sad and sad you are, it won't help! What my aunt said is, face Be realistic.”
Ling Yun's expression was dull, and his voice was dry and hoarse, "Tell me, my mother... how did she die?"
Lian Nanchun said weakly with a worried heart: "According to the news brought back by Ding Xin, Princess Chang Qing committed suicide after you drank poisonous wine..."
Ling Yun's eyes were dull, as if he was talking to someone else or to himself, "I understand, my mother must have thought I was dead at the time, blamed herself for not being able to save me, and committed suicide out of grief and resentment... She died for me. Now I am alive, but she is dead. Everything happened because of me... Hahaha..."
Huge waves crashed in his chest, and he suddenly laughed. The laughter was shrill and painful. Finally, he slowly stopped laughing, and tears fell again.
Lian Nanchun felt sad when she saw Ling Yun like this; she slowly leaned down, hugged his slender body tightly from behind, buried her face in his shoulder, and choked out: "Zhichao, please You, calm down, don’t be like this..."
But how could Ling Yun remain calm at this time? That is my mother. I deeply love and deeply love my biological mother!
He could no longer control his emotions. In vain, he felt waves of dizziness all over the sky. His whole body felt limp, as if all his strength had been exhausted, and there was a moment of trance in front of his eyes.
In his confusion, the words his parents had said to him in the past lingered in his ears clearly.
——"Zhichao, you can suspect that everything in the world is fake; but you should believe that the love that all parents in the world have for their children is the most true!"
——"Zhichao, you...if you really have any shortcomings, how can you let your mother live?..."
Yes, if something happened to him, his mother would not be able to live. But now his mother is dead, and she died for him, so what should he do?
The saddest thing was not that I was hoarse, but that I was so painful that I couldn't breathe in the deepest part. Ling Yun raised a face of despair and sorrow, and looked forward with empty eyes. All focus seemed to have been lost in the dark eyes, leaving only everything that was ethereal.
"Ling Yun, you actually killed your mother. You really deserve to die - if you had died earlier, maybe you wouldn't be a drag on others anymore. How can someone as ominous as you live in the world? …”
His hands trembled, and he quickly grabbed the long sword on the table, pulled it out of its sheath, and there was a cold light, and the desolate blade was like autumn water, and it went towards his neck without hesitation! …
