You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

The old man looked at his face and guessed that the situation was not good.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Xu Mingtao sighed.

"He hasn't eaten or slept well for a long time, and he's been depressed, which has worn down his health.

As for the cold, it's because his body is broken that he's easily infected. The cold is a minor problem, and I'll treat him right away."

As he spoke, he gave the second old master some pills to treat his cold and inserted a dozen silver needles into his penis.

The secret guards and servants worked together to cook him some porridge with minced meat and vegetables.

I took medicine, had an injection, and ate something.

After half an hour, the symptoms of the cold were significantly alleviated, and he had the strength to sit up and chat with the old man.

"Brother, do you know why Li and Xue'er knocked me unconscious and locked me up here?

At that time, I was in good health, could eat and sleep well, and never caused them any trouble."

Seeing that he was weak and could not withstand any major stimulation, the old man decided not to talk about business for the time being.

"Whatever their reasons are, it's no reason to send you here and leave you to be abused. When I return, I will definitely settle the score with them."

The second old master felt confident, as if he had seen his own child.

"That Li is so unfilial, and Xue'er followed her and made trouble, causing me so much pain. They should be taught a lesson."

The old man took his hand and patted it gently, "Don't worry, take care of yourself. I will stay here with you for a while. When you are better, we will go back together.

As your elder brother, I am still here and will definitely protect you as before."

The second old master nodded happily, "Well, besides my parents, only my eldest brother treats me the best.

If that vicious woman, Mrs. Li, hadn't given birth to a pair of children for Yihui, I would have made Yihui divorce her."

The old man agreed and stayed in his room.

The two brothers squeezed on a bed like they did when they were little, chatting about new toys and upcoming battles.

Three days later, with everyone's careful care, the second old master's health gradually recovered.

That day, the two brothers walked around the village and then returned to the house to rest.

The old man started talking.

"Shouyi, this time when Big Brother went out to play, he saw a lot of things he had never seen before."

The second old man looked longingly and said, "Brother, tell me about it quickly."

"I met a highly accomplished monk who told me many strange stories.

He said that this person is subject to karma and reincarnation, and he also told me many stories about people who were reincarnated after death and remembered their past lives.

The second old master nodded repeatedly, "People often say that if you accumulated virtues or committed sins in your previous life, your current life will be like this and that. I just thought it was talk and never believed it.

"When a Taoist master says this, I have to believe it."

The old man continued, "Even though I heard what the master said, I still don't quite believe it. I just think it's a novelty. When people die, they die. How can they be reincarnated and remember their past lives?

But now, I believe it!"

The second old master sat up straight at once.

"Brother, could it be that you remember something from your past life? Tell me about it."

At the old man's suggestion, Xu Mingtao first gave him a pill to prevent heart disease.

The old man then looked at his younger brother seriously, "Do you believe in me, big brother?"

"Believe it. If I don't believe my elder brother who has protected me my whole life, who else can I believe?"

"Then no matter what you hear, stay calm, can you do that?"

The second old master saw that his eldest brother had a serious face, patted his chest and nodded.

The old man said sadly, "Shouyi, on June 18th of this year, just over a month later, hundreds of people in our Mu family were wiped out in one day. Now, everything is happening step by step according to the past."

The second old master was horrified.

"Brother, why is this happening? You better think of a solution. It doesn't matter if we die. There are hundreds of people in our clan."

"Shouyi, does it really not matter if we die?"

"Brother, our parents named us Shouren Shouyi, hoping that we would know benevolence, filial piety, propriety, and justice, and understand the great principles. Now, for the sake of our clan, what does it matter if we die? We have lived to this age, and that is enough."

The old man looked at him and said, "What if even our children and grandchildren have to die to save everyone?"

"Why? Why exactly?"

The old man stopped trying to find out his opinion and sighed heavily.

"Shouyi, on March 16th, Ge'er fell into the water in the palace and went home to sleep for two days. Do you remember?"

"Remember, she came to visit me in the mansion after she recovered. After she came to see me, Li and Xue'er sent me here."

"You may not know that Xue'er deliberately bumped Ge'er into the water because she had been secretly having an affair with the boy from the Lin family and was jealous that Concubine Lin had given Ge'er a set of jewelry.

Ge'er woke up from her coma and said that she had a terrible dream.

In the dream, on the day of her wedding, she was brutally murdered by the Lin family boy, and Xue'er married into the Yongguo Mansion in her place. All the Mu family members, except for your second branch, were beheaded, and Yifeng and Lei'er's heads were cut off by Yihui and his son and sent to the palace..."

The old man told him in detail about Mu Yunge's dream and everything that happened after he woke up.

"Now, the eldest prince was seriously injured by the third prince, the second prince was killed in the sky prison by the third prince, the emperor took the third prince's poison pill and is bedridden, the third prince is regent, everything is going according to Ge'er's dream.

The difference is that Ge'er took some precautions in advance, so their plan against Ge'er failed."

"Li, Xue'er, Yihui, how dare they..."

The second old master spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

"Shouyi!" The old man was heartbroken.

Xu Mingtao was prepared: "Old man, please step aside and let me treat the old man. Don't worry too much. He took life-saving medicine before, so the problem should not be serious."

After two hours of emergency treatment, the second old man was out of danger.

He grabbed the old man's hand and said, "Brother, I am responsible for this!"

The old man consoled him, "If Yihui and his son could stop in time, Yifeng wouldn't do anything to him. Everything depends on his decision."

The second old master burst into tears, "My rebellious son, Xue'er, how could they be so foolish as to be bewitched and attack their own relatives?

No wonder they sent me here to be locked up, they were afraid I would ruin their plans."

He wiped his tears and said, "Brother, it's my fault for not raising me well. Don't stop me. Let me go down and confess my sins to my parents and to my clan members!"

"Shouyi, this isn't your fault. They were motivated by their own selfish desires. When Ge'er came here, she repeatedly said you were unaware of the situation and that this matter wouldn't implicate Yiqi and his family."

"But I am ashamed to face my people, as well as Ge'er, who is such a good and kind child.

It's ridiculous that I even promised to give her a generous gift when she marries the boy from the Lin family.

I never thought that my children and grandchildren would give her a funeral. How can I live like this?!"

As he spoke, he smiled sadly and bit his tongue hard.

Mu Chun, who was prepared, struck him on the neck with a palm.

The old man hugged him and cried bitterly.

Brothers are killing each other, blood relatives are plotting against each other, what is wrong with this world...
