Cheng Yan found out the prime minister's secret tricks before the accident happened. He wanted to rush back from the border to discuss with the emperor, but unexpectedly, he was ambushed by several groups of people on the way.
Fortunately, a year later when he regained his memory and hurried back to the imperial city, the prime minister's plot had just begun, and Cheng Yan and his imperial brother still had time to think of countermeasures. However, the accident on the way back this time allowed Cheng Yan to determine who the other team that assassinated him a year ago was.
"In my capacity, you don't have to worry about anything. After all, Mo Mo, you are Prince Cheng's husband. Once others hear this name, who else would dare to provoke you?" Cheng Yan wrapped his arms around Lin Mo's waist, He was fixed in his arms, his chin rested on his shoulder, and he tilted his head and laughed in a low voice.
Cheng Yan's deep voice rang next to Lin Mo's ear, and Lin Mo's body subconsciously trembled, feeling a little numb.
"Are you teaching me how to bully people?" Lin Mo raised his hand to move his face away, and then rubbed his itchy ears.
"Huh?" Cheng Yan raised his hand to hold his hand, and leaned over to touch Lin Mo's ear with his lips.
"Be serious, it's still daytime!" Lin Mo turned and covered his mouth with a serious face, but his moist eyes and red ears revealed his inner emotions at the moment.
"Well, it's daytime now." Cheng Yan nodded seriously, and immediately calmed down.
It was almost night anyway, Cheng Yan gave him a soft sip, his eyes a little dark.
"By the way, I asked Ying San just now, why didn't you tell me about the second brother?" Lin Mo suddenly remembered the question he had just forgotten, and looked up at him. However, with his current position, he could only see Cheng Yan's chin.
"I don't want you to worry. Besides, I've sent more than a dozen shadow guards there, and the second brother will not be in danger." Cheng Yan fixed the man in his arms, then hugged him to comfort him.
"Well... But why did those killers go to assassinate the second brother?" Lin Mo nestled in his arms, reached out to pick the buttons on his collar, and asked in doubt.
"Actually, the second brother was implicated. Does Momo still remember the team member who joined our team halfway?"
"You mean, the target of those killers is that scholar? Did the second brother suffer innocently?" Lin Mo raised his head and asked in surprise. If this is the case, the second brother is too unlucky, right
"Um."
"Then... why did those killers kill that scholar? I think that person is just an ordinary wealthy family. Could it be his other identities? For example, his family members are important officials of the imperial court?" Lin Mo asked curiously .
Judging from the plot of Gongdou's novel, this situation is most likely what Lin Mo thought. Don't forget, Lin Mo doesn't think there are any normal tracks with the existence of the time-traveling heroine and her harem.
"Huh? Guessed it? Momo is so smart!" Cheng Yan bowed his head and kissed his forehead lightly, praising him.
"That's not... just talk when you say something, don't always move your hands..." Lin Mo stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, blushing a little.
"Huh? Just now, the king didn't make any moves. Wang Fumo wants to frame the king." Cheng Yan pulled Lin Mo's hand and held it in his own, and said in a serious voice. However, there was a smile in his eyes.
"Prudish..." Lin Mo looked up at him, naturally saw the smile in Cheng Yan's eyes, buried his head in his arms, and muttered.
A cold and ruthless look in front of others is a boring look in front of him. Obviously, his ears turned red when he teased him before, but now the positions of the two have changed, and it was his turn to blush.
"The scholar's family background is indeed as you said. However, on the surface, it appears to be an ordinary assassin in ambush, but after careful investigation, it can be found that there is a prime minister behind the scenes." Cheng Yan stopped teasing the person in his arms, and honestly he explained.
"It's related to the prime minister again? That person is just a scholar who has just reached the crown. Is it necessary for the prime minister to do this?" Lin Mo sat up straight and looked at him sensitively when he heard the word prime minister.
"Why are you so curious about these things?" Cheng Yan smiled lightly, he thought that my brother was not interested in the affairs of the court.
"Don't change the subject, talk quickly." Lin Mo urged with some dissatisfaction.
Cheng Yan lowered his head slightly to look at his expression, and heard some coquettish tone in Lin Mo's voice that he didn't know. Cheng Yan raised his brows slightly, and rubbed the corners of his lips lightly with his fingertips, but finally he lost his appetite.
"I heard that the scholar is the candidate who is most likely to be the No. 1 scholar this year. Their family and the prime minister's house are not in the same boat, so the prime minister will naturally trip them up."
The Yu family is a scholarly family, and several of their ancestors served as grand tutors in the palace and taught several generations of emperors. The status of the Yu family in the court naturally makes the prime minister jealous, not to mention the prime minister is still thinking about rebellion, the Yu family must be dealt with first.
As soon as he mentioned the Yu family, Cheng Yan thought of the Lin family, who were also from a scholarly family.
"Actually, like the Yu family, they worked in the Imperial Academy, or entered the palace to teach the prince's teacher, and there is also the Lin family. It's just that in the previous dynasty, the Lin family was convicted of treason..."
Although it was later found out that the Lin family was framed by someone, it was useless. There was no Lin family in the capital. Several generations of Zhongliang were exterminated because of the villain's framing.
When Cheng Yan thought of this, his eyes became a little dark. I have to admit that the previous emperors of Yu Kingdom were a bit stupid, even his father was the same. Otherwise, it is impossible for an emperor not to find out these things.
"The Lin family..." Lin Mo paused when he heard this, his eyes were a little suspicious. Could it be what he thought
"These things are too complicated. I'll talk to you when I have time. Now, let's discuss another matter." Cheng Yan stopped the previous conversation and said.
"Hmm... what's the matter?" Lin Mo asked casually, a little absent-minded.
"The marriage of the two of us."
"Hmm... um? What about marriage?" Lin Mo came back to his senses and looked up at him with doubts on his face. Haven't they already been married? Want to do it again
"Before we got married, the conditions were too simple. And the husband wants to serve the royal jade plate, so we will hold another ceremony to make up."
"Do you have to? It feels so troublesome..." As soon as Lin Mo heard the words "make up ceremony", he knew that this wedding would not be too simple. The prince is getting married, so he has to spend a whole day, right
"Well, the time has been set, two months later. Brother Huang will issue a decree to announce it to the world in a few days." Cheng Yan nodded in response. After it is announced to the world, everyone in Yu country will know that Mo Mo is his husband, so there will be no people who don't have eyes to spy on Mo Mo.
People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. Cheng Yan looks handsome, but has a cruel temperament. Although the daughter or elder brother fell in love with his appearance, but due to Cheng Yan's reputation, until now, no one has heard of Cheng Yan's heartfelt love.
Unlike Cheng Yan, few people in the imperial city knew about Lin Mo. If one day he takes people out of the mansion, he is bumped by some people who don't have eyes because of his strange eyes...
"What are you doing... um..."
Lin Mo's body became numb from Cheng Yan's fingertips rubbing against his lips, he leaned back slightly to avoid it, and looked up at him. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yan suddenly approached and kissed him, Lin Mo placed his hands on his chest, his eyes widened in shock from Cheng Yan's sudden action.
After a long time, Cheng Yan left his lips with some nostalgia, and gently wiped the moisture from the corners of his mouth with his thumb. Just like this, Cheng Yan was always worried that someone would spy on Lin Mo's appearance and his people. Cheng Yan still remembers that the person who was following Yan Ningxi at that time looked at Mo Mo in a wrong way.
"Sweet." Cheng Yan leaned over and laughed softly.
When Lin Mo heard it, his body trembled again, and finally he gave him an angry look, and buried his head in his arms, not wanting to speak. Ever since he woke up, no... ever since Cheng Yan recovered his memory, Lin Mo always felt that Cheng Yan was teasing him intentionally or unintentionally, just like now.
Knowing that he had offended Mo Mo, Cheng Yan stopped making small moves and could only hug him honestly.
"I have two months to prepare. Do I want to take over my parents? It just so happens that the whole family moved to the imperial city." Cheng Yan asked.
"... No, it's better to stay in Daling Village. When the time is right, the elder brother will bring his parents and the others over." Lin Mo was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head and said in a muffled voice.
Although he really wanted them to come, but thinking about the potential trouble of Su Qingran here, Lin Mo still felt that he should not take the risk. What's more, now Lin Mo is still doubting whether their family is the Lin family that Cheng Yan said, if so, they can't be allowed to come here.
"As I said before, after you recover your memory and return to the imperial city, help to investigate the affairs behind our house. Have you found anything?" Lin Mo looked up at him and asked.
"Well... moving to Mulin County from other places, there are too many places to pass through, it will take some time..." Cheng Yan said after thinking for a while seriously.
But he felt a little guilty in his heart. He had to take care of Momo these few days, and he had to go to the palace to discuss plans and border matters with his brother. Cheng Yan had long forgotten what he said before to investigate the abnormalities of the Lin family. Fortunately, his shadow guards are all efficient, and now that he thinks about it, it's still too late to order someone to investigate.
"Momo thinks that your family has something to do with the Lin family in the imperial city?" Thinking of Momo's worries just now, Cheng Yan guessed it all at once.
"There is such a guess." Lin Mo hesitated for a while, then nodded.
His second elder brother said before that there are several large boxes of books hidden in the parents' room, which were the most precious things of grandpa during his lifetime. Parents also asked the second brother not to take it out to see, and not to mention it to anyone. Based on these doubts, Lin Mo thinks that half of their family may be the Lin family in the imperial city who was framed and exterminated.
If this is the case, Lin Mo will be a little confused. Since grandpa fled from the capital to the most remote place in Yu country with his son and daughter-in-law, why did Lin's father and Lin's mother insist that his second elder brother take the scientific examination and choose the career path
Could it be that the Lin family was wiped out in the previous life, other than the superficial fall into the prime minister's conspiracy, was there another reason
"If the Lin family is really the Lin family in the imperial city, Momo doesn't have to worry. The Lin family's treason crime has been vindicated, and the imperial brother will not be like the father."
"I'll try to find out as quickly as possible. If it's true, then I have to take them back to the imperial city. Although the Lin Mansion is desolate, it won't be much different from the previous one after repairs."
The ancestors of the Lin family and the Yu family were both scholarly families, and the ancestral houses left behind are also well preserved. When the Lin family was framed, the Yu family was the first to stand up and refute. Although they were still convicted in the end, the Yu family still tried their best to keep the ancestral home of the Lin family.
Perhaps it was also for this reason that the son of the Yu family was sent away from the imperial city to avoid the limelight, and did not come back to take the imperial examination until his imperial brother took the imperial examination in the first year of his enthronement.
