The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis
Chapter 267 Knowing His Background
Xie Lin's gaze slid from Dongfang Ye's face to his palm, looking at the light green earring, which emitted a faint glow in the dim light.
It was Chu Heyi's thing, he had seen her wearing it.
Dongfang Ye was still waiting for him to speak, but Xie Lin suddenly started coughing, his face turned pale, and he coughed up a little blood again, which hung on his lips, bright red and glaring.
When Wang Shan heard the cough, he immediately got on the carriage to support Xie Lin and said to Dongfang Ye apologetically, "I'm sorry, Your Highness. My master is very weak. I'm afraid I have to leave you!"
He called two people to help Xie Lin get off the carriage. During the whole process, Xie Lin was very weak and could not utter a word.
Dongfang Ye got off the carriage and looked at his extremely weak appearance. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips. He thought to himself, "Although he escaped death and was promoted to prime minister, Xie Lin's body doesn't look like he will live a long life."
Thinking in this way, he no longer regarded Xie Lin as a strong competitor. Xie Lin could not compete with him. From the noble status to the health of the body, he was no match for him.
Which girl would be willing to marry a sick and weak man and be ready to be a widow at any time? Chu Heyi didn't seem like that kind of fool.
"Wangshan, take good care of your master. In a few days, the Japanese palace will ask someone to send some ginseng to your master so that he can take good care of himself. When I get married to the Lady of Cheng'an County, I will invite your master to have a drink at the wedding." Dongfang Ye said to their backs.
Wang Shan was shocked, and he was filled with hatred and anger, but he had to say: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I will take good care of my master and help him get through this crisis. May he live a long life in the future!"
Xie Lin was sent back to his room, where he lay on the bed for a long time before drinking the medicine that Gan Sui had prepared for him, and only then did his cough stop.
But his face was still pale, and his hair at the temples and his inner clothes were all soaked with sweat.
He lay on the bed with his eyes slightly closed. He was silent and so weak that he looked like he would die at any moment.
He had no strength left.
Wang Shan knelt beside his bed and said, "Sir, I will go to the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion to ask about the things you want to ask, and ask Cheng'an County for the answers in person, but you have to take care of your health."
After a long while, Xie Lin slowly opened his eyes and seemed to let out a soft sigh, but it also seemed like he didn't. Wang Shan was not sure.
"Is two days from now an auspicious day?" Xie Lin asked softly.
Wangshan was about to cry and didn’t know how to comfort him.
Xie Lin didn't seem to insist on getting an answer from him, and after a while he said softly, "No need to go to Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, prepare some porridge for me."
"Yes, yes, the porridge is ready and is warming on the fire. I'll bring it over right away."
Wang Shan brought some porridge and helped Xie Lin sit on the bed, wanting to feed him. Xie Lin said, "I can do it myself. Go and help me with some things."
Wang Shan cried anxiously and was also furious: "It's already this late, can't you take a good rest? What on earth is it that is worth your worrying at this time? It won't be too late to go after you are well!"
Xie Lin said, "When you are well again, it will be too late. If you don't want me to get into trouble, just follow my instructions."
Wang Shan turned his back, quietly wiped his tears, and then said in a muffled voice: "Whatever you want me to do, just arrange it. I will do it for you even if I risk my life."
But what Xie Lin asked him to do surprised him so much that he was dumbfounded. He felt as if he was struck by lightning and couldn't react for a long time!
But Xie Lin was extremely firm, saying that he was not joking or being angry, but really wanted him to do this.
Wangshan thought his master was crazy and blurted out, "Sir, this move may bring about a fatal disaster."
Wangshan was unusually calm and shocked.
Xie Lin said, "I would rather die than live a life worse than death."
How desperate and miserable must a person be to say such a thing? Wang Shan stared at him blankly for a long time, unable to utter a single word.
Finally, with a heart soaked in blood, Wangshan obediently went to do what Xie Lin asked him to do, and he did it with all his heart and effort, and informed Xie Lin of the progress from time to time.
Gan Sui's medical skills were excellent. He would research new medicines from time to time and change the dressings for Xie Lin, both for the medicines applied on the wound and for the medicines taken orally.
In just two days, Xie Lin's injuries improved greatly, and he was at least able to walk around on his own, although he could only walk from the bed to the door.
On this day, Xie Lin changed into a brand new dark green brocade robe and a black cloak. He stood at the door and watched the fallen leaves of late autumn swirling in the wind and falling.
He thought that today was the auspicious day that Dongfang Ye had mentioned.
Sure enough, not long after, Wang Shan came to report: "Sir, the spy reported that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived at the Grand Tutor's Mansion and will leave for the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion in an hour."
Xie Lin looked into the distance, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay."
The wind of late autumn was blowing, bringing endless coolness. When Xie Lin went out, he noticed that his palms were covered with sweat.
At this moment, he suddenly understood why he felt a suffocating sadness in his heart when he returned home two days ago in the morning. It turned out that his premonition was not wrong.
Wang Shan, who was helping him walk out, suddenly said, "Sir, Sir Wen has been investigating the case of Zheng Wenkang these days. Zheng Wenkang only admitted to murdering you and colluding with bandits to destroy the autumn harvest when he was about to die. He refused to admit that he had colluded with bandits to plunder relief grain."
Xie Lin listened with a blank expression. The Prime Minister certainly did not do that thing. It was just that someone threw the evidence onto Zheng Wenkang and made him take the blame.
He knew this clearly, but that person was very good at shifting the blame, and no one could find any handle or trace on him. He had no choice but to play along and let Zheng Wenkang take the blame, and then die.
Three charges were placed on Zheng Wenkang, leaving him with no hope of recovery. If there was one less charge, it would have been difficult to crush him.
Wang Shan: "But it's useless for him to deny it. The evidence is irrefutable. He can't escape the death penalty."
The sky was gloomy, the clouds were very low, and the wind was still blowing. It was the same in Shengjing City and Qingyang City.
The news that Zheng Wenkang was thrown into prison was delivered to King Cheng and his wife. King Cheng was shocked and suffered a huge blow, but Runxue was mentally prepared.
What she was not prepared for was that Xie Lin was promoted to prime minister.
In this battle, she was "drawn away" by the enemy; all the money she earned from drinking and serving wine was lost in Qingyang City.
She lost miserably.
Now she had to watch the enemy gaining ground step by step, and Runxue's heart was bleeding. But soon, she got a piece of news and couldn't help laughing.
The news said that Xie Lin might not be a member of the Xie family, but a child sent out of the palace by the Queen more than 20 years ago, and was a twin of Crown Prince Dongfang Ye.
A rustling sound was heard, and Runxue looked out the window. It was raining. The late autumn rain hit the huge banana leaves, making a rustling sound.
