It was already night, and a glass lamp was lit on the table in the room. The tiny flame was fanned by the wind that blew in from nowhere, jumping...

The incense burner carved with lotus patterns was placed at the head of the bed. The glazed jade incense burner was emitting a transparent and hazy halo, and the smoke that seemed to be there and not there floated up like a veil, and then the misty clouds and smoke dispersed...

The mask on the sleeping man has been taken off, revealing a handsome and noble face with deep features and a sharp jaw. Even in his sleep, he still looks imposing.

He didn't sleep well, his brows were furrowed, and then he suddenly opened his eyes...

He dreamed of that night again, the night when he was framed by Mu Xingyun and dueled.

When Mu Xingyun's sword pierced his chest, only three inches away from his heart, and when he finally stopped caring about his brotherly affection and wanted to fight back.

A figure rushed out and stood between the two brothers...

It was a scene that he had dreamed of countless times in the middle of the night, and it still made him feel heartbroken.

Warm blood splashed on his face, and everything in front of him became blurry, making him feel like he was falling into a sea of ​​sin and purgatory...

He killed his own mother with his own hands!

But this dream made him particularly frightened. The face of the strange woman turned into Xiao Xuetang, standing between him and Mu Xingyun...

At this moment, the lingering fear from the dream, the heaviness in his heart, and the loneliness of being alone when he suddenly woke up, surged into Lin Xun's heart like a tide. He shook his body, woke up completely, and subconsciously propped himself up.

But he didn't expect that a furry thing fell from his chest. The angry cat slave was about to stretch out his claws to scratch the handsome face again, but was stopped by his master.

"Snowball, stop it!"

Snowball, the little tabby cat, was officially adopted by Xiao Xuetang and brought to the Xie family.

The cat was a little skinny at first, but now it has become plump under Xiao Xuetang's careful feeding. No wonder Lin Xun felt heavy in his heart even in his sleep.

"You finally woke up."

Xiao Xuetang put down the ashes in the incense burner he was stirring, and picked up the already cold sobering soup placed beside the bed: "You drank a whole jar and a half of Thousand Days Drunk, you must feel uncomfortable. This is the sobering soup, drink it quickly..."

The Regent, who was always calm and composed, but at this moment his heart was beating like a drum. He stared at Xiao Xuetang with heavy eyes, and after a moment he held Xiao Xuetang in his arms.

Xiao Xuetang uttered a "hmm" and felt Lin Xun's heart beating rapidly, but she did not struggle and let him hold her.

It was clearly just a dream, but it seemed so real. The wound that he thought had healed long ago was torn open again, and blood was dripping. It was not until he saw the girl sitting by the candlelight and felt her body temperature that Lin Xun felt a sense of reality that he had regained what he had lost.

Xiao Xuetang gently patted Lin Xun's back with his free hand, just like he used to comfort her, and said, "Did you have a nightmare? It's okay, it's all over..."

It was the first time that Xiao Xuetang saw Lin Xun, who was completely defenseless in his sleep.

Normally, the man who was so high above her that she could only look up with great effort to look at him, now lay quietly on the bed, allowing her to look at him from a rare angle.

Xiao Xuetang looked at the familiar deep eyes and brows with a hint of attachment that she herself was not aware of.

No matter which life she was in, her fate was full of misfortunes and she was influenced by others, leaving her with few choices.

Only Lin Xun is his most determined choice!

However, Lin Xun did not sleep well, as if he was in a nightmare. Xiao Xuetang heard him shouting in his dream...

Mother!

Such a powerful man who was feared by the court was so fragile in the dream.

After hearing about Aunt Yuan's story, Xiao Xuetang combined it with the previous clues and finally found out what Lin Xun's heart knot was...

Kissing!

No wonder, no wonder that day, even though Lin Xun knew that she hated Xiao Yi so much, he, who always obeyed her in everything, stopped her from killing Xiao Yi herself.

Because his own hands were stained with the blood of his loved ones, he could not sleep at night and was tormented by nightmares.

He didn't want her to become like him!

At this moment, Xiao Xuetang's heart seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand, and an indescribable feeling filled her heart.

Sour, numb...

She took the initiative to wrap her arms around Lin Xun's broad shoulders, letting Lin Xun bury his forehead in her thin shoulders. It took an unknown amount of time...

He clenched his fists, as if he had finally made up his mind!

At this moment, Xiao Xuetang looked at the man lying on his shoulder, his expression changed for a moment, and he finally made a decision...

"I have something to say..."

"There's something I want to know..."

The two spoke at the same time and looked at each other. Xiao Xuetang reacted quickly and said, "You speak first!"

Lin Xun smiled helplessly, and then said, "It's Mu Xingyun."

Xiao Xuetang's eyebrows jumped. Just now, she was about to talk about some past events of Mu Xingyun...

"Mu Xingyun had rebellious intentions. We had signs of this five years ago and he took action."

Back then, Lin Xun commanded a large army and was stationed in Mobei, which had formed a countervailing force with the imperial court. Wang Shoucheng and others in the court were very wary of Lin Xun and did not dare to provoke him easily.

Perhaps even Emperor Huaimin did not expect that he sent Lin Xun to Mobei with murderous intentions, but in the end it became the salvation of Dayin country.

After the incident in Prince Mu's mansion, Lin Xun had the intention of restoring order and leading his troops back to Kyoto to kill Wang Shoucheng. At this time, Mu Xingyun wrote a letter inviting Lin Xun to go to Jiangnan. The two of them planned to send troops to the south and the north at the same time to lift the siege of Kyoto.

As early as when he was sixteen, Lin Xun learned from Ji Heng that his mother was still alive and that she had a son with his lover. Later, when the southern border was in turmoil, the child was adopted by the old King Mu and named... Mu Xingyun!

They had studied together in their youth, and since there was an inseparable blood relationship between them, Lin Xun did not take extra precautions and only brought a few dozen trusted cavalrymen with him to Nanjing to keep the appointment.

Lin Xun was vindictive throughout his life and could not be considered a good person. The only thing he had ever done that could be considered merciful was that he went against the will of Emperor Huai Min and spared the Ji family's life.

Mu Xingyun set up a tight net in Jinling, even using... their mother as bait, in an attempt to kill Lin Xun.

At that time, Mu Xingyun already knew his own life experience, and for the sake of his ambition, he reached a deal with Southern Xinjiang.

Kill Lin Xun and seize the world.

However, he never expected that Lin Xun was rescued by Ji Heng, contacted reinforcements, and finally survived.

Later, Lin Xun unexpectedly joined forces with Zheng Yuansheng, the defender of Jinling, and directly led an army of 100,000 to Kyoto, and then cooperated with King Lin in Kyoto...

Punishing the rebels, clearing the court of evil officials, and supporting Emperor Yonghui to ascend the throne, Dayin finally returned to orthodoxy!

I can only say that there is a destiny in all this...
