You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

They had known each other for ten years and had been married for eight years. Their happiest time was the three years when he was demoted.

He returned to the East Palace, and when Liu Yiyi came to him, he knew that she was Ye Sangning, the princess of the previous dynasty. Those people from the previous dynasty acted extremely cautiously, and those he captured were all minor characters among the remnants of the previous dynasty.

He used hallucinogens and truth serum pills on Liu Yiyi when she was least wary of him.

After obtaining the contact points of the remnants of the previous dynasty from her, they were wiped out in one fell swoop.

The remnants of the previous dynasty suffered heavy losses.

He captured five and three of the seven dukes, and used every possible means to force out the remnants of the previous dynasty, but when they arrived there, they had already left and they were one step too late.

Those people from the previous dynasty could not swallow this humiliation and thought that Liu Yiyi had betrayed them, so they sent people to assassinate Liu Yiyi. He sat back and waited, and caught several batches of scavengers.

He deliberately questioned Liu Yiyi, and Liu Yiyi gave up Qingzhu in order to shirk suspicion.

Qingzhu has been with Zhaozhao for almost ten years and has always been loyal to her. Xiao Yun never expected that even Qingzhu was a remnant of the previous dynasty.

They were buried deeper than he had imagined.

He couldn't imagine how many green bamboos were around him.

After he beat Qingzhu to death with a stick, his relationship with Zhaozhao deteriorated sharply.

No matter what happened in the past, whenever Zhao Zhao saw him, her eyes would always be bright and full of love.

But during that time, the way she looked at him was always cold.

When he held her in his arms to sleep at night, she would not snuggle into his arms, but stay away from him. If he forced her into his arms, she would stay motionless like a mummy and not say a word to him.

He didn't tell her that Qingzhu was a remnant of the previous dynasty because he knew that she treated Qingzhu as a sister and would be sad if she knew that.

He tried to please her by traveling from the south to the north of the city, buying her her favorite butter cakes, cooking for her, and sending her all the gold, silver, and jewelry that the vassal state paid as tribute. But she was still cold to him, and showed no sign of trying to be coaxed into doing good.

Obviously, in the past, he only needed to smile at her or touch her lightly to make her happy.

The stalemate lasted for half a month. He couldn't stand it anymore and told her that Qingzhu was a remnant of the previous dynasty. After she heard it, she looked at him with a sneer and said:

"The green bamboo was given to me by my eldest brother. Could it be that my eldest brother is also a remnant of the previous dynasty?"

She just said it unintentionally, but he took it to heart.

Her eldest brother is in charge of the Lin family army of 100,000 and is the general of the northern border. If he is really a remnant of the previous dynasty, the consequences will be disastrous.

He sent people to investigate and actually found some clues, but he didn't dare tell her.

He knew she loved him, but she also loved her family.

She could even take back her love for him little by little for the sake of Qingzhu, the maid, let alone the elder brother who had loved and spoiled her since she was a child.

He has a place in her heart, but it comes behind her relatives.

As long as he hurts someone she cares about, she will immediately raise all the thorns on her body and stab him without hesitation.

He was not sure what she would do if she knew that he was investigating her eldest brother and had some evidence.

Given her personality, she would most likely find ways to get the evidence, then sneak to the North and question her brother in person.

She was pregnant at the time and he didn't dare take any risks.

But before the results were found, something happened to their child.

When she was eight months pregnant, she went for a walk in the pavilion, but fell down the steps of the pavilion and suffered heavy bleeding, causing their child to be born prematurely and die at birth.

He felt the child's breath with his own hands and found that he was indeed no longer breathing.

But when he was about to bury him with his own hands, he started crying like a kitten, and he secretly sent him to the Huguo Temple.

Xiao Jingchen was born prematurely and was weak, so he didn't tell Lin Zhaoyue. First, he was afraid that the child would not survive, and in the end she would just be overjoyed and have to endure the pain of losing the child for the second time! Second, if she knew that the child was still alive and in the Huguo Temple, she would go to the Huguo Temple to take a look even if she had to cut her hair and become a nun.

The people of the previous dynasty could not tolerate his descendants. If they knew that the child was still alive, they would definitely try every means to get rid of him.

She couldn't hide things and her temper was too impulsive, so it was too easy for people to see the clues. He could only keep it secret for the time being.

But if she was careful enough, she would definitely notice that he had a milky scent on his body every time he came back from Huguo Temple.

But she never discovered it, or rather, after she accused Liu Yiyi of killing her child and he said he would compensate her, she was completely disillusioned with him. At that time, let alone paying attention to whether he had a milky scent on him, she probably wouldn't care even if he was with another woman.

The "stillborn baby" in her heart completely replaced his place in her heart.

In her heart, anyone she cares about is more important than him!

She was always certain that it was Liu Yiyi who had harmed their child. It was she who had someone sprinkle oil on the steps of the pavilion, causing her to fall and harm their child.

But that oil was not spilled by Liu Yiyi.

After he knew Liu Yiyi's identity, he secretly sent people to follow her. Liu Yiyi did try to harm their child many times, but he managed to resolve the situation every time.

After Qingzhu died, she didn't like him, so he asked people to protect her secretly, but she fell so suddenly that when the secret guards got to her, she had already fallen.

The secret guard was beheaded because he failed to protect his master.

He was afraid that Liu Yiyi would come up with some bad ideas, so he focused all his attention on Liu Yiyi.

No matter how careful you are, you can never guard against a thief within your own home.

He traced the oil to her third brother.

Her third brother was doing business everywhere. One month before Lin Zhaoyue's accident, he went to the palace to see her and brought many rare little gadgets.

She was pregnant, and her third brother was even worried that her shoes were not non-slip, so he bought her a pair of non-slip shoes. She loved them so much that she wore them every day.

The sole of the shoe has a special quality. Once it comes into contact with ink juice, it will become slippery, just like stepping on oil.

Lin Zhaoyue walked around in the palace and only visited a few places. He specially asked people to clean and mop the floor every day.

Those people took advantage of this loophole and dripped ink juice into the bucket used by the palace maids to mop the floor.

The palace maids knew where Lin Zhaoyue would take a walk, so they would usually mop the floor in advance. When Lin Zhaoyue came out, the water from mopping had already dried up.

It was a nice day, but for some reason it suddenly started to drizzle. She was in a hurry to get back to her bedroom, and the soles of her shoes were stained with ink juice, becoming slippery. In her panic, she fell down the stairs.

At first he thought it was just a coincidence or an accident, but when he followed the clues, he found that there was something wrong with Lin Yanzhi as well.

Before he could collect all the evidence, they had already colluded with the Northern Jue people, allowing a million-strong Northern Jue army to break through the Beiyang Pass, resulting in the tragic deaths of 100,000 Lin family soldiers.

His biological mother, Ning Xi, also died in the battle of Beiyang Pass.
