Rebirth as Princess Jin again

When Situ Jin walked into the imperial study, Situ Lin was sitting listlessly at the chess table, in a state of trance. The chess pieces were placed on the chess table without any order.

Hearing the noise, he raised his cloudy eyes and looked over. When he saw it was Situ Jin, he pointed to the seat opposite: "Play a game of chess with me."

Situ Jin collected the pieces on the chessboard one by one, and another white piece fell.

The father and son were speechless, except for the sound of chess pieces falling on the chessboard.

For a long time, Situ Lin watched the entire chessboard situation gradually being occupied by the white pieces. His eyes dimmed and he whispered: "I am old. I have tried my best for the country, but I have never played the role of a father. The third child is right. , I am not a good father!"

Situ Jin sighed: "Father! It was because of his evil intentions that he caused such a disaster. It's not your fault!"

Situ Lin smiled bitterly and said, "It's all because of my faulty teachings. The late emperor never established a prince. This led to the subsequent turmoil in the city when the princes competed for the throne. I don't want to follow in the footsteps of the late emperor."

"After ascending to the throne of God, he made his eldest son the prince and trained him carefully. However, he did not expect that the Wei family would mess up the government and bring disaster to the country, which almost led to a big mistake. He failed to educate his own son well, but devoted all his efforts to training the son of his enemy."

"The bitter fruit I get today is because of my own doing."

"Father, this is his own choice. Although you are his father, you cannot make every decision for him. What's more, you have already given him a chance!"

Situ Lin waved his hand towards him with a rather tired expression: "Old Qi, tell me the truth. When the palace was on fire that day, did you already know that the person who died was Situ Xu, not Situ Yu?"

Situ Jin met his earnest gaze and solemnly replied: "At that time, Erchen was just doubtful, not sure. The one person who really made Erchen sure of his thoughts was one person!"

Situ Lin asked in confusion: "Who?"

Situ Jin replied: "The second emperor brother's princess, Mo Yan'er, arrived in Yucheng and discovered Situ Yu's conspiracy, and wanted to send a message back to the capital."

"But Situ Yu imprisoned her. Later, her friend Lu Wan went to Yucheng to look for her, and then he learned the truth. After escaping from the palace, he sent a letter to Erchen, and Erchen learned what happened. the truth."

Hearing this, Situ Lin suddenly remembered something and asked, "How is Hong'er?"

Situ Jin hurriedly replied: "They are safe and sound, but Mo Yan'er is weak and cannot walk too fast. My son has ordered people to protect them, and they will be able to enter the capital soon."

Hearing this, Situ Lin felt slightly relieved.

He walked to the desk and handed a volume of imperial edict to Situ Jin.

"My body is not as good as before. The affairs of the previous dynasty were cumbersome. My energy is limited and I am unable to continue to be in power. I have decided to step aside from you."

"After Hong'er returns to Beijing, I, together with the queen and the concubines in the harem, will take Hong'er and Yi'er to the palace to recuperate."

"The children are young, and the mistakes made by the father should not be imposed on the young son. I will personally teach the two children and will never cause trouble for you."

"Lao Qi, I leave the heavy responsibility of this world to you. I hope you can create a prosperous age where the world is peaceful!"

Situ Jin walked up to Situ Lin, stood straight, knelt on his knees, and took the imperial edict with both hands.

"Father, don't worry, my son will never disappoint my father's expectations! I will keep my father's teachings in mind."

The edict of Situ Lin's abdication was made public on the morning of the second day, and the officials did not have any objections to it.

Situ Lin's health has been going up and down. Situ Jin has been in charge of government affairs for many days, and all the officials have long been accustomed to his style of doing things.

Because the fetus in Su Ying's belly is getting older, it is not advisable to work too hard. The succession ceremony will be held after she gives birth safely.

The imperial doctor suggested that Situ Lin's body should not be worked hard anymore, and immediately decided to hand over the government affairs to Situ Jin. Situ Lin and everyone immediately went to the palace to recuperate.

However, as soon as Situ Lin and others set out from the palace, a figure quietly followed them.

On the third day after the news came that Situ Lin had arrived at the palace, news came from the palace that Situ Lin had been assassinated and disappeared in the palace.

At the same time, in the evening of the day when the news came, the guard responsible for protecting Su Yao at Qingshan Temple suddenly hurried into the palace with one person.

Su Ying looked at Su Yao who was covered in injuries on the bed, and her heart twitched.

But after careful inspection, he discovered that although there were many wounds on his body, they were not fatal, and the martial arts skills of those who fought him were definitely not inferior to Su Yao.

And the man showed mercy not because he wanted his life.

Situ Jin took the two secret guards outside and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

When the two secret guards saw that Su Yao was injured, they panicked and rushed to the palace with Su Yao.

The two of them were exhausted by now, but they still managed to keep up their energy to answer Situ Jin's questions.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates have been waiting for Third Young Master Su's order. Suddenly last night, a fire broke out in the wing of Qingshan Temple. Seeing that something was wrong, my subordinates immediately entered the temple and found Third Young Master who was seriously injured not far from the fire."

"Have you found anyone suspicious?"

Situ Jin realized that something was unusual. His father had just disappeared, and he was preparing to go to the palace to find out what happened, when something happened to Su Yao. It was too coincidental. Is there any connection between these two things?

Qingshan Temple is not an ordinary place. Su Yao's martial arts has improved greatly over the years, and ordinary thieves cannot hurt him at all.

And it is almost impossible to enter Qingshan Temple without alerting the two secret guards.

So the person who hurt Su Yao was probably someone from the temple.

But Su Yao has always been very gregarious in the temple and never offends anyone. Taoist Master Qingshan also likes him very much.

There are not many people in the temple who have higher martial arts skills than Su Yao, but what reason do they have to hurt Su Yao?

One of the secret guards replied: "Both of us took turns to rest. It was not late at night when the accident happened that night, so we didn't rest, and we didn't find anyone sneaking into the temple!"

It seemed that Situ Jin's guess was correct, the person who hurt Su Yao must be someone from the temple.

Now we can only wait for Su Yao to wake up and ask about the situation to find out what happened.

Situ Jinping retreated from the two secret guards and entered the palace. He saw Su Ying treating Su Yao's wounds. Although her face was calm, her eyes showed worry.

The child in Su Ying's belly was about to give birth. She couldn't worry too much at this time. He stepped forward and took the tray from Chunlan's hand.

"How is he doing?"

Su Ying sighed: "Fortunately, there was no serious injury! I offered to take him back to Beijing last time. If he had listened to me, he would not have suffered this disaster."

Situ Jin said with relief: "The man didn't kill him. It seems he just wanted him to retreat, not to kill him."

Su Ying raised her eyes and looked at him: "Do you know who did it?"
