The road of the favorite concubine in three lives is destined

In the past few days, the Crown Princess has been in the palace with a trace of worry between her brows. She is deep in thought and often ponders by the window, as if looking for a good way to deal with Yi Wan. However, while she was thinking hard, the Lin Mansion in the capital was shrouded in a haze.

The Lin family was in a state of panic. The once prosperous mansion now looked deserted and heavy. The servants whispered to each other, fearing that they would accidentally anger General Lin. Since the disappearance of the eldest and second young masters of Lin, General Lin's temper has become more and more violent, and the entire Lin family is shrouded in his anger.

Since the disappearance of the eldest and second sons of Lin, General Lin's mansion has been shrouded in a cloud of sorrow. He sent out countless spies to search every corner of the ancient city, but still could not find any clues about his two sons. Since the disappearance of the eldest and second sons of Lin, General Lin's mansion has been shrouded in a cloud of sorrow. He sent out countless spies to search every corner of the ancient city, but still could not find any clues about his two sons.

One day, General Lin was drinking alone in his study, looking gloomy. He was drinking and muttering to himself: "My sons, where have you been? Why haven't you come back yet?" His words were full of worry and anger.

At this time, a servant came in hurriedly and reported in a panic: "General, there is a Taoist priest outside the door who wants to see you. He said he can find the young masters."

General Lin heard this and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, but then he turned to caution: "Taoist priest? Can he find my sons? Bring him in quickly!"

Soon, a Taoist priest was brought into the study. He was wearing a Taoist robe and holding a whisk, looking like an immortal. General Lin looked him up and down with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

The Taoist smiled and said, "Don't worry, General. I am a wanderer and came here to help you when I heard that you were in trouble."

General Lin raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Oh? How can you help? Do you know the whereabouts of my sons?"

The Taoist nodded and said, "I observed the stars at night and found that the stars of two young masters in your mansion were dim, which means they encountered a disaster. However, I have calculated where they are. If the general sends someone to find them, he will definitely be able to find them."

General Lin was delighted when he heard this and asked hurriedly, "Where are they?"

The Taoist smiled mysteriously and said, "This is a secret of heaven, which cannot be revealed lightly. As long as the general trusts me, I will help him find the young masters."

General Lin hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll trust you this time. If you can find my sons, I'll reward you handsomely!"

The Taoist priest clasped his hands and said, "General, rest assured. I will definitely live up to your trust."

Afterwards, under the arrangement of General Lin, the Taoist priest began to prepare to find the elder and second young masters of Lin. General Lin also temporarily put aside his anger and waited for good news. General Lin dismounted and walked towards the Taoist priest, with a trembling voice: "Master, do you know the whereabouts of my two sons?" The Taoist priest nodded slightly, his voice low and mysterious: "I know where they are, but General Lin, are you ready to face the truth?"

General Lin was shocked, and a trace of grief and anger flashed in his eyes. He held the Taoist's hand tightly and said firmly: "No matter what the truth is, I must find my sons!" Although General Lin was angry, he was more concerned about the whereabouts of his sons. He asked in a deep voice: "Master, please tell me, where are my sons?"

In fact, this Taoist priest was probably arranged by the prince just to attract General Lin to find the bodies of the eldest and second young masters Lin.

The Taoist took a deep breath and said slowly: "Their bodies were buried in a mass grave outside the city.

General Lin said angrily, "How dare you lie to me? Didn't you say you could find my sons? Are you asking me to find their bodies?"

General Lin drew his sword and asked the Taoist to tell him who told him to do this. The Taoist's face was pale, and sweat was pouring down his forehead like a waterfall. His lips trembled as he tried to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't make a sound. General Lin's eyes were cold as ice. He said in a deep voice: "Tell me, who told you to do this?" The voice echoed in the night sky like thunder, shaking the Taoist's heart.

A trace of fear flashed in the Taoist's eyes. He swallowed his saliva and stammered, "I...I...I dare not say it." General Lin frowned, and the knife in his hand flashed more fiercely. He said coldly, "If you don't say it, I will make you lose your head now."

The Taoist priest was so frightened that his whole body trembled. He knew the reputation of General Lin and knew that he would keep his word. He gritted his teeth and finally mustered up the courage and said in a trembling voice: "It was... the nobleman in the palace who asked me to do this."

A hint of coldness flashed in General Lin's eyes. He naturally knew who the nobleman in the palace was. General Lin thought it was the emperor who did it. After all, he killed the emperor's favorite woman and joined forces with his sister to frame the Li family. He sneered and said, "It turned out to be him. Humph, what a good trick."

The Taoist priest was relieved to see that General Lin did not take action immediately. He raised his head carefully and tried to see General Lin's expression. But General Lin's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, making it impossible to peek into his inner thoughts.

Just when the Taoist priest thought that General Lin would let him go, he stood up tremblingly and was about to run. Unexpectedly, General Lin said coldly, "Do you think I will let you go?"

The Taoist's face changed. He didn't expect General Lin to be so decisive. He wanted to dodge, but General Lin's men quickly surrounded him.

"I...I..." The Taoist priest stuttered and wanted to say something, but General Lin's eyes made it impossible for him to speak. He knew that he was really in trouble this time.

General Lin walked over slowly, and every step seemed to be stepping on the Taoist's heart. He looked at the Taoist coldly, as if he was looking at a dead person.

The Taoist priest knew that there was no chance for him to escape. He closed his eyes and waited for his impending death.

However, General Lin did not act immediately. He stood quietly in front of the Taoist priest, as if thinking about something. After a long while, he said coldly: "But I can give you a chance."

The Taoist priest suddenly opened his eyes, and a glimmer of hope surged in his heart. He quickly knelt in front of General Lin and kowtowed: "Thank you, General! Thank you, General! I am willing to serve you and do anything for you!"

General Lin sneered, with a hint of disdain in his eyes. He knew that this Taoist priest was just saying these words to save his life, and he couldn't trust them at all. But he also needed to use this person to achieve his own goals.
