You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

Puhua Temple.

Deep in the peach forest on the back mountain of the temple, there is a small courtyard surrounded by a fence. A small sign saying "No entry for outsiders" is hung on the door of the courtyard.

At this time, in the courtyard, an old monk in a cassock was drinking tea and playing chess with a man in a black robe.

The man in the black robe was none other than Zhao Jingchen, who had not slept all night and went straight to Puhua Temple at dawn.

After running all the way to Puhua Temple, they found Master Wuchen was not in his meditation room. After asking around for a while, they found the small courtyard in the back mountain.

Master Wu Chen likes quietness and often stays alone in this small courtyard, away from worldly affairs.

Seeing Zhao Jingchen, Master Wuchen, who was carrying a pot of tea out of the hut, happily poured tea for the two of them and brought the chessboard to set.

"Your Highness, you came so early in the morning. Are you just here to have tea and play chess with Old Na?"

Zhao Jingchen held the chess piece in his hand and said, "Master Wuchen, I am indeed troubled by something. I couldn't wait to come to you to solve my doubts as soon as the sun rose."

He put down the chess piece in his hand and said, "I had a dream the night before last. In the dream, the prince of the Yongguo Mansion got married, and I went to watch the ceremony..."

After listening to Zhao Jingchen's story about his dream, Master Wuchen smiled faintly and said, "Amitabha, Your Highness cares about the people of the world. You can understand this dream as a warning from heaven."

Zhao Jingchen nodded and continued, "I thought so too, so I invited the young lady from the general's mansion and told her about this dream, hoping that she would be alert.

But she told me that she had the same dream.

Then Zhao Jingchen recounted the situation in Mu Yunge's dream in detail.

“This king feels that her dream is very different from mine. In my dream, I am like a spectator, watching something happen, while in her dream, every detail is as if I were there myself.

Master Wuchen, my dream was a warning from heaven, but was her dream her personal experience? Is there a past life or a present life in this world?

After listening quietly, Master Wu Chen counted quickly with his fingers, and a look of enlightenment appeared on his face.

"The General's family has defended their country for generations, saving countless refugees and performing countless meritorious deeds. They shouldn't have had the ending you dreamed of. Heaven has granted them this opportunity for a reason, a warning to His Majesty, hoping that His Majesty can turn the tide.

The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. If I reveal them, I will be punished by heaven. That is all I have to say. Your Highness, please return."

Master Wu Chen's face turned visibly paler, his steps became a little unsteady, and he hurried back to the thatched cottage in the courtyard.

Zhao Jingchen bowed deeply towards the thatched cottage and said, "Thank you for your advice, Master. I will come and play chess with you next time."

My dream was a warning, her dream was a real experience, and God gave her a chance to start over.

His guess was confirmed, and Zhao Jingchen felt a pang of pain in his heart.

Third brother, the illegitimate son of the Lin family, and the second branch of the Mu family, how dare you commit such heinous crimes for your own selfish desires?

I will cut you into pieces, peel off your skin and pull out your tendons to vent my hatred.

Zhao Jingchen glanced at the peach trees around him with grief and anger. Many flower buds had grown on the branches, and the peach blossoms were really about to bloom.

In this case, I will give you a great gift for your flower-viewing trip to Puhua Temple at the end of the month.

After walking a distance, Zhao Jingchen looked back at the peach forest and said, "A Zhao, go donate one thousand taels of silver to the temple."

Li Mingzhao nodded in agreement and quickly went to do it.

Zhao Jingchen brought his men back to the foot of the mountain, mounted his horse, and galloped all the way to the capital.

After returning to Prince Zhan's Mansion, Zhao Jingchen, who wanted to go to the study to think quietly, was stopped by Chief Manager Qu.

"Your Highness, Manager Yang from Li's Grocery Store has sent me a message."

As he said this, he handed a piece of paper folded into a small square to Zhao Jingchen.

Zhao Jingchen opened it and glanced at it, a cold light flashing in his eyes: "Ask Shang Jue and the others to come to the study, I have something to arrange."

After saying that, he went straight into the study.

Minister of Revenue Zou Zhirun was killed on a rainy night, or the night after tomorrow?

She trusts me completely and is willing to expose her own differences to tell me what she knows so that I can seize the initiative?

Since that's the case, I will definitely not let her down.

Zou Zhirun was one of the few good officials. The reason he was killed must be that he blocked the way of certain people.

"dong dong dong"

Several knocks on the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Enter!"

Shang Jue, Rong Chunlin and Li Mingzhao walked into the study and closed the door.

Looking at the few people who had been through thick and thin with him, Zhao Jingchen tapped the table lightly: "Have the Third Brother and the others made any moves?"

Shang Jue, who once served as Zhao Jingchen's military advisor, shook the fan in his hand.

"The Third Prince hasn't made any major moves yet, and the minor ones he has made are directed at the First and Second Princes.

My subordinates are stepping up their control based on the information we already have."

Rong Chunlin was once a general who fought in battles under Zhao Jingchen. After Zhao Jingchen lost his military power, he retired and secretly became one of Zhao Jingchen's followers.

"That bastard Lin Jinhao did have a secret meeting with the Third Prince, but since the Third Prince was accompanied by many secret guards, his subordinates didn't dare get too close.

I only heard them say "lost contact", probably referring to the group that surrounded and killed the General's Mansion's secret guards."

Zhao Jingchen nodded. "It's been two days since the incident. The loss of contact will definitely alert them, but they will only suspect that it was the eldest and second eldest brothers who did it."

Rong Chunlin nodded repeatedly, "The Third Prince looked very angry. He directly sent out two groups of people, targeting the residences of the two princes."

"Well, there is something very important that needs to be arranged.

The night after tomorrow, someone will go to the Minister of Revenue's residence to assassinate Zou Zhirun. You must rescue that person and send the assassin to Jingzhao Yi.

The bigger the incident, the better. Only when it is exposed can those who want to kill him be deterred and Zou Zhirun be safe."

"Yes!"

Shang Jue and the other two clasped their fists in agreement and left.

Zhao Jingchen thought for a moment and called out, "Someone, call Mr. Xu."

Someone outside the study responded.

A moment later, there was a knock on the study door, and an old man with white hair and beard pushed the door open and walked into the study.

"My lord, are you looking for me?"

Zhao Jingchen leaned back in his chair, stared at Elder Xu seriously, and said, "Is there a method on the market that can make a person go from healthy to dead in a month or two, and still have no abnormalities found?"

Elder Xu nodded. "Yes, I remember when I first arrived at the Divine Doctor Valley to learn my craft, my master told me that he had a good friend who once served in the imperial court and died in such a mysterious way."

Zhao Jingchen suddenly became alert and asked, "Is there any way to crack it?"

“Yes, there is, but this method is vicious. Even if you save the person, it will seriously damage their vitality. They will only live for an extra year or two.

Your Highness asked, but is there anyone you know who has been affected? If so, Divine Doctor Gu and I will do our best to treat them."

Zhao Jingchen closed his eyes and waved to Mr. Xu: "No, thank you very much, go back and rest first!"

"Your Highness is too polite. You have been kind enough to help my Divine Doctor Valley. Without your help, the Divine Doctor Valley would have been slaughtered by evil people a few years ago."

"I just happened to come across you and lend a helping hand. Old Xu has lived in my house for many years and saved me from danger countless times. I owe you and the Divine Doctor Valley a debt of gratitude."

"Your Highness, there is no need to do this. We have long supported each other. Your Highness, please rest early. I will not disturb you."

Watching Mr. Xu close the door, Zhao Jingchen fell into memories again...
