Ever since the three princes got engaged, all kinds of rumors have emerged in the capital.

Many people felt sorry for Prince Lin, thinking that Emperor Huiren was guarding against his most outstanding son, just as Emperor Xiaoxian was wary of Prince Qin.

It was not until the birth of Prince Lin's eldest son that Emperor Huiren gave him the name "Li Jiren".

All the rumors have died down...

In fact, Xie Ning didn't know much about what happened back then.

Prince Lin was an upright person and never mentioned the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion in his personal matters.

Xie Ning went to Los Angeles with Xie Fuyang when she was seven or eight years old.

Her father was aloof and aloof, and incompatible with the nobles of Los Angeles. She had never integrated into the aristocratic circle, nor did she want to integrate into it.

She heard from Shen Zhiyi about Ruan Xinyu's fate as the Phoenix Girl and the conflict between the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion and Prince Lin.

Lu Yanyan actually knew more about the details of that year.

The customers of the food court include many ladies from aristocratic families, and women love gossip.

Many things were true and false, and Lu Yanyan couldn't tell them apart at the time, so he didn't take them to heart.

Later, I heard more and more, and when I learned about the dispute between the Duke of Yingguo’s Mansion and Prince Lin, I pieced together many things.

It was the first time that Li Jiren learned that his father had such a past, and he was stunned.

He smiled bitterly, "Heavenly Phoenix Girl, your judgment is indeed accurate. Could that monk also be Master Liaowu? But Master Liaowu doesn't look like a Bodhisattva at all."

Han Qingyun and Lu Yanyan looked straight at him, and even Han Huaixi stared at him closely.

"The Master Liaowu that Prince Brother mentioned, is he the monk Liaowu from Yunkong Temple in Wuping County?"

Han Huaixi really had no good feelings towards the annoying monk who said that his whole family would die.

Even if the monk did say a lot of things right, couldn't he have been more tactful in his words?

Li Jiren nodded.

Han Qingyun's family had many speculations about the real reason why Li Jixin brought them back.

It turns out that it was because of enlightenment.

"Mr. and Mrs. Han must have guessed why we brought you back. Enlightenment is one of the reasons, and another reason is the letter Mr. Han wrote."

Han Qingyun understood. When they were in Luocheng before, Li Jixin had expressed his gratitude to him for the letter.

"A few years ago... Life in Jiyang was very hard. I watched more and more people starve to death. Two winters ago, I led my men to the State of Yan. Ji Xin brought his men to meet me in Qianyang County..."

Li Jiren's clear and sad voice slowly sounded, and Ye Jianan sighed deeply.

Li Jiren went to the State of Yan to rob food, which was contrary to the ancestral rule set by the ancestors of the Li family that one should not start a war first.

Ye Jianan wanted to stop Li Jiren, but the people of Jiyang were in such a miserable state at that time that Ye Jianan did not stop him in the end.

After Li Jiren left, Prince Lin soon fell asleep again. Ye Jianan judged that he had slept for about half a year, so he went to Beiming Mansion to look for medicinal herbs.

But it was not until he returned to Prince Lin's Mansion at the end of May that he learned about what had happened in Wuping County.

When Prince Lin returned from Wuping County, he was more vulnerable than at any time in the past few years.

He almost didn't want to live at that time, but Li Jixin had no choice but to knock him unconscious before he could give him acupuncture and medicine...

"At the end of March, Ji Xin and I returned and learned that our father had fallen into a coma again. After that, we distributed food to various counties.

At the beginning of May, Ji Xin and I returned to the capital, and my father also woke up on the second day of May."

The three members of the Han family were shocked.

The second day of May last year was also the day their family crossed over. Is it a coincidence?

"My father has been in a coma for four months and is extremely weak, so he is recuperating in the mansion.

On May 10, Brother Siyuan suddenly came to report that the number of troops in Luoyang County was not right and the commander Zhao Qihua was missing.

My father was shocked and sent people to investigate. He found out that Zhao Qihua had actually led more than 10,000 people, along with some people of unknown origin, to Shangyang Prefecture. My father took me with him and followed him all the way..."

When Li Jiren said this, his face turned as pale as paper.

That incident was a calamity for Wuping County, but wasn't it also a calamity for Prince Lin's Mansion?

His father did think about returning to Los Angeles to find out the truth about his grandmother's death, but he never thought of attacking ordinary people.

"When we arrived at Wuping County, there was blood and smoke everywhere from burning corpses. There were also three human heads hanging on the city wall..."

Li Jiren's voice was choked with sobs. He covered his eyes with both hands, but big tears still flowed out from between his fingers.

Princess Lin and Ye Jianan also burst into tears.

The servants outside the hall were also crying, but they followed Princess Lin's instructions and did not come in.

Han Qingyun hugged Han Huaixi tightly and forced himself to hold back his tears.

Lu Yanyan looked at the shaky Princess Lin, suppressed the heartache, and helped her sit down.

After a long time, Li Jiren's trembling voice sounded again.

"General Zhao insisted that it was my father who ordered the massacre, and then he committed suicide. Before he died, he was still shouting at my father to enter Luocheng, reclaim the throne, and avenge my grandmother, Concubine Qi.

My father stumbled to the county government office and locked himself in the room, crying bitterly.

It was not until the evening that he took out a letter and asked me to check how the writer knew about this matter.

Afterwards, my father insisted on going out to take a look. The entire county was deserted, and my father walked around all night in a daze.

It was not until the next day that he remembered the heads hanging on the city wall and ordered them to be buried.

The bodies of County Magistrate Qian and the others are still there, so I placed them in Yunkong Temple.

There were still some refugees hiding in Yunkong Temple, and most of the monks in the temple died in order to protect these people.

As soon as they saw us, they started to curse us. At first I wanted to explain, but later I finally understood what it meant to be unable to defend myself.

In fact, they were right to curse. Whether we knew it or not, there were indeed soldiers from Jiyang among those murderers.

Then, a seemingly mad monk stood up, pointed at my father, and said, "Some people are destined to die young, but they still have a glimmer of hope. But you have an indescribably precious destiny, yet you are filled with deathly energy. How strange!"

After saying that, he pinched his fingers and muttered to himself, and finally said, you can only live for ten years at most, and during these ten years, your time of wakefulness will become less and less.

The soldiers around my father angrily scolded the monk, but I was shocked when I heard it.

My father is the pillar of support for Ji Yang. His illness is unknown to outsiders except for the confidants in Prince Lin’s mansion and a few personal guards around him.

As soon as he woke up, he would walk around the city to dispel the suspicions of outsiders.

However, Doctor Ye said that if the cause of my father's illness could not be found, he would fall into a deep sleep for longer and longer periods of time until he would never wake up again.

Ten years at most. After ten years, even the great immortals will not be able to save my father.

The monk said everything word for word, so I pulled him out and asked him how he knew that. He said he saw it through his eyes. After that, no matter how I tried to pressure or bribe him, he wouldn't say anything.

The guards around me thought he was a madman and provoked him a few times, but they didn't expect that the monk was so arrogant that he would not tolerate anyone questioning him.

He described the situations of several people close to me with great accuracy, including when they were born, when they encountered danger, the number of people in their family, and even the dates of their death.

The guards suspected that this monk was an enemy spy, and perhaps they had investigated and then deliberately told us about it."

But I know that monk is definitely not simple..."
