Bringing love across time and space

The autumn days in Prime Minister Lin’s residence always carry an indescribable sense of desolation.

Ever since Lin Qingjiao, the daughter who was as beautiful as a flower but died prematurely,

Prime Minister Lin's figure was often drowned in endless sorrow.

His steps became heavy, and his eyes were filled with the vicissitudes of life and the pain of losing his loved ones.

Because of this sudden incident, Wang Lina was bedridden, with the flame of life swaying in the wind and seemingly about to go out at any time.

In the Wang family’s mansion, gold and silver were sent to Prime Minister Lin’s residence like water, just to buy a glimmer of hope for Wang Lina’s life.

However, fate did not seem to favor this unfortunate couple.

Whether it is precious medicinal materials or folk remedies,

There may be a glimmer of hope at first, but then it will be like a stone sinking into the sea, without any more waves.

Wang Lina's body became thinner and thinner, and her face became as pale as paper. Prime Minister Lin's heart also sank into the abyss bit by bit.

In the court, Prime Minister Lin had not attended the morning court for many days.

Emperor Yuan Jin did not blame Prime Minister Lin too much for his absence. He knew the pain and struggle in the heart of this old minister.

After Emperor Yuan Jin met Liu Yuhan and came to his senses, he began to reuse Prime Minister Lin again!

"Prime Minister Lin, you have worked hard these years." Emperor Yuan Jin was in the imperial study.

He sighed softly. Yuan Jin and Prime Minister Lin knew each other very well, and Emperor Yuan Jin was the most convenient for him to use.

What's more, Lin Hai is a timid and cautious person who would never do anything too outrageous. Emperor Yuan Jin still trusts Lin Hai.

However, Prime Minister Lin's heart was in turmoil.

He looked out the window at the withered garden,

His heart was filled with endless bitterness. "Without my daughter, what's the point of me becoming a high-ranking official?"

He whispered to himself, his voice full of helplessness and desolation.

In the eyes of everyone, Lin Qingya and Gu Yuchen seemed to be still living the ordinary farming life in Huaishu Village.

Even Emperor Yuan Jin thought so.

They didn't know that the truth was also caused by Gu Yuchen. The reason why Gu Yuchen and his team were slow in building the house was because

In fact, they were afraid that Emperor Yuan Jin would send spies to Huaishu Village to spy on their whereabouts.

That was when more than 400,000 soldiers mysteriously disappeared.

Emperor Yuan Jin was relieved when the spy reported that Gu Yuchen was still staying in Huaishu Village obediently.

But Prime Minister Lin's heart could no longer calm down. He began to discuss resignation with Wang Lina.

However, Wang Lina firmly opposed it.

She knew very well that once Prime Minister Lin resigned, the Wang family would lose their greatest support.

Doing business in the future will not be as convenient as it is now.

Wang Lina's eyes were full of anxiety and uneasiness. She absolutely disagreed with Prime Minister Lin's idea of ​​resigning.

Prime Minister Lin looked at his wife lying on the sickbed, his heart filled with contradictions and struggles.

He wanted to fulfill his wife's wishes, but he didn't want to stay in this court that broke his heart.

In the end, he chose to compromise.

In order not to make Wang Lina even more sad, he decided to temporarily give up the idea of ​​resigning.

However, fate did not seem to let them go.

On this quiet night, Wang Lina's throat was blocked by a mouthful of phlegm.

She struggled and shouted, but the maid who was keeping watch was sleeping even more soundly than her.

No matter how Wang Lina slapped the bed, the maid did not wake up.

During this period, because Wang Lina was in poor health, Prime Minister Lin was afraid of disturbing her rest, so he went to another courtyard.

Therefore, at this moment, Wang Lina had only a maid who was on night watch.

When the maid woke up the next morning, she was horrified to find that Madam Wang Lina had died and her body was ice-cold.

The maid turned pale with fright, she knew it was her fault.

If Prime Minister Lin beat her to death for this, no one would stand up for her.

However, she couldn't help but say it. After some struggle, she decided to go find Prime Minister Lin.

"My Lord Prime Minister, my wife asked me to watch from outside and not to get close. So, I... I didn't notice anything unusual about my wife." The maid's voice was trembling, full of fear and self-blame.

Prime Minister Lin was silent. There was no anger in his eyes, only endless sadness and fatigue.

He stood up silently, walked out of the room, and went to Xiongsi to buy funeral clothes and some things that should be prepared for Wang Lina.

Soon, a mourning tent was set up in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and most of the ministers in the court came to pay their respects.

However, the funeral was dull and everyone felt depressed and heavy.

On the seventh day, the day of Wang Lina's funeral, Prime Minister Lin stood in front of the coffin in mourning clothes, his eyes full of tears.

He followed the team that was moving further and further away, his heart filled with endless grief.

After Wang Lina was buried, he finally made up his mind to resign and leave this heartbreaking place.

When Prime Minister Lin presented his resignation letter to Emperor Yuan Jin, Emperor Yuan Jin was stunned at first.

Then he showed a trace of reluctance.

"Prime Minister Lin, are you really leaving? I still need your help in handling state affairs."

There was a hint of reluctance and helplessness in Emperor Yuan Jin's voice.

However, Prime Minister Lin was determined. "Your Majesty, I have made up my mind. Please grant me your approval."

His voice was calm and firm, as if he had made all the preparations.

Emperor Yuan Jin looked at Prime Minister Lin's determined eyes and finally nodded.

"Well, since you have made up your mind, I will not try to persuade you to stay. Go back and pack your things, and we will take over tomorrow."

Prime Minister Lin quietly left the imperial study. There was no regret in his heart, only relief.

He returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and began to deal with the affairs of the mansion.

He sold the Prime Minister's Mansion to an official in the imperial court, and the money he earned was enough for him to live a comfortable life in his later years.

Then, he took several shop and farm receipts and valuables,

He left this place that once brought him glory and also heartbreak.

On Zhuangzi, Prime Minister Lin lived a simple and peaceful life.

He gets up early every morning and takes a walk, breathing the fresh air and feeling the beauty of nature.

He would sit in the yard, drinking tea, reading, and writing, enjoying this rare peace and tranquility.

Sometimes, he would think of his daughter Lin Qingjiao and his wife Wang Lina, but those memories no longer made him feel sad.

He knew that they had gone to another world, and he had to live well.

Although Prime Minister Lin's life on Zhuangzi was simple, it was full of fun.

He would chat with his neighbors, play chess, and enjoy this ordinary but real happiness.

Sometimes, he would invite some old friends to visit his farm to reminisce about the past and have a good chat.

Prime Minister Lin was indeed very happy on the farm. At least he no longer schemed against others!

Later, Lin Qingya also wanted to find him to find out whether he had any feelings for Wang Yunxi!

Later, she felt that Wang Yunxi should have forgotten Lin Hai, so she ignored him.

Lin Qingya and Gu Yuchen both felt that letting Lin Hai fend for himself was also a form of atonement, so they never looked for him!

Of course, this is all later story. Now Lin Qingya was awakened from her dream again!
