Jiang Shuyue just thought about this man briefly in her mind. It was not really a thought. It was just that they had been married for ten years in their previous life, and she had spared no effort to help him rise to the top, but he cruelly killed her people. How could she think about him?

It's just a reminder to myself that I can't let him off so easily with my deep hatred.

Although it was Lu Mingzhan who did it in the previous life, there was another person mentioned on the letter that Black Cat Bu Le brought back.

It was at the instigation of that man that Lu Mingzhan tried to kill himself. Moreover, it is still debatable whether the poison was made by the father and daughter of the Shen family.

Jiang Shuyue actually wanted Xiao Lin to go to the capital to find out the whereabouts of Shen Zhihuan, and at the same time test whether the strange poison came from the hands of them, father and daughter.

But she was afraid that if it was really what Shen Zhihuan said, Xiao Lin would alarm her and implicate Xiao Lin.

And Xiao Lin actually thought of these things as well.

He knew that Jiang Shuyue died of a strange poison in her previous life. Her medical skills were very powerful. Anyone who could poison someone that even she couldn't cure must be very powerful as well.

In his previous life, ever since he met Shen Zhihuan, he never knew that her father was a doctor.

She gives people a carefree feeling, so there should be no need for her to hide this matter.

The capital city, the residence of General Zhenyuan.

Xiao Lin sneaked in late at night and went straight to the study of General Pei Changting.

"come in."

Xiao Lin curled his lips, quickly slipped into the door, and then closed the door again.

"Godfather!" Xiao Lin called affectionately.

General Pei looked at the face in front of him, which was 70% similar to the current emperor. What evidence was needed? This face was the evidence. Once the ministers in the court saw this face, they would guess his identity.

"Sit down." Pei Changting motioned him to sit in the seat next to him. "I know you will dare to come in the next few days. I have already told the people in the mansion not to approach my study. Don't worry, the people in the mansion are all old people who have followed me for many years."

"How is my foster father's health?"

"It's okay. I'm old and I have to recuperate if I get injured. If I were 20 years younger, I would still go into the battlefield and kill the enemy." Pei Changting said.

"This bottle is medicine for healing, please keep it."

Pei Changting took the medicine bottle and saw the words on it. He knew it was written by a woman. He smiled and said, "Is this given to you by your wife?"

Xiao Lin smiled and did not deny it. Pei Changting returned it to him and said, "I don't need it here. What she gave you must be the best. You should keep it. Here is the golden wound medicine given by the emperor. It's no big deal now."

"Your wife is an expert, isn't she just a country girl?" Pei Changting asked with a smile, "Your brother wrote to me and told me that the victory in the south this time was due to your wife's contribution. If it weren't for her prescription, half of the soldiers would have been defeated."

Because Jiang Shuyue also knew medical skills in her previous life, and Xiao Lin didn't know when she learned it, he did have doubts, but Jiang Shuyue's explanation made sense.

"She is just smarter. She grew up in the same village as me." Xiao Lin replied.

Pei Changting nodded. Since Xiao Lin said so, he had nothing to doubt.

"I found the man with the tattoo on his wrist that you asked me to find. Can you tell me why you wanted to find him? You haven't been in the capital for so many years, so you shouldn't have any grudges with him?"

"Could it be that your mother was killed on her way to visit her parents... No, no, that person is about your age. He was not that old at that time, so it is impossible for him to be involved."

Xiao Lin smiled bitterly. He had no memory of his mother being murdered on the way to visit her parents. He was too young at that time, only two years old.

All his memories started from the Xiao family. In his previous life, he did not take the initiative to recognize himself as the prince. Instead, his father saw it at a glance when he was being rewarded in the hall after he made meritorious service in the army.

His father looked at his face as if it were a mirror and did not let him go at that time. After looking at his palm, he concluded that he was his son.

The murder of the concubine and the prince was a serious matter. How could an ordinary person have the courage to do it? Unfortunately, he didn't understand at that time. He just recognized his relatives and then thought about going back to bring his adoptive parents back to Beijing to enjoy a good life. However, he was assassinated again before he returned to the capital.

"What did you...think of?"

Xiao Lin came back to his senses, "Of course he had nothing to do with what happened back then, it's just some personal grudges."

"Personal grudge?" Pei Changting was not a reckless man with no strategy. He was very thoughtful, otherwise he wouldn't have been through so many battles and rarely been defeated. "Have you been to the capital before?"

Xiao Lin knew that he had to lie, so he nodded and said, "Yes."

"Since you know your identity, why didn't you come to me earlier?"

"Foster father, my mother was deeply loved by my father. She took me to visit her parents. My father sent so many guards, but something still happened on the way. Do you think this was done by ordinary bandits?"

"It happened to be at that time and in that area. The two nearby cities were unable to provide support. This was clearly a long-planned plot. How could I dare to show up easily? If I showed up, I would be killed if I wasn't careful."

The two of them had talked about this before, and Pei Changting had initially advocated that he restore his identity, but after Xiao Lin's lobbying, he changed his mind.

But you have to know that he is taking a big risk.

What Xiao Lin said was what he knew only after he restored his identity in his previous life, and at this time, he knew nothing about his own identity.

But in this life he needed someone in the capital to help him, so he had to introduce himself to gain the trust of General Pei.

"After so many years, you and your mother are still taboo. You can't mention it in front of the emperor. Anyone who dares to mention it will be courting death."

Pei Changting looked at Xiao Lin, "Since you have a personal grudge, I won't ask any more questions. That person has been haunting Dongtiao Hutong recently. If you want to find him, you can go there, but be careful. Your face... is too similar."

Xiao Lin naturally knew this, "Don't worry, foster father. How long will it take for my brother to return to the court?"

"It will be soon. Within half a month. Although I haven't told him your identity, I'm afraid he already knows it."

"It's okay. You and my brother are people I can trust." Xiao Lin said.

"Your grandfather saved my life, you saved my life, and your wife also saved my son's life. All in all, we owe you a lot."

"By the way, you haven't been to your grandfather's house in Hexi, right?" Pei Changting asked.

Xiao Lin nodded, "I just remembered my identity not long ago, and I haven't been able to go yet. But I'm afraid that someone has planted spies at my grandfather's place. If I show up, I'm afraid that person will know it immediately."

Pei Changting nodded. The Xiao Lin in front of him was calm and cautious, even better than himself. If he had grown up in the capital and under the emperor, he would definitely be even more powerful.

But it's good now too.
