When Lin Mo got the news from Cheng Yan that his second brother was about to arrive in the imperial city, he asked people to clean up the other yards in the palace. After Lin Xiu washed and changed his clothes, he wanted to find his younger brother, and the servant who was waiting at the side hurriedly led him the way.
"Why is the second brother here? Don't you want to take a break?" Lin Mo, who was tending flowers and plants in the yard, saw the second brother coming, got up and asked in doubt.
"It's okay, come and talk to you." Lin Xiu walked over and said with a smile.
The maids waiting at the side heard that, after Mrs. Wang finished wiping her hands, she took the handkerchief and walked away. Stand guard at a place where you can see Wang Fu but can't hear their conversation, so as to avoid the situation that Wang Fu calls them for something but there is no one.
"It's still cold, why do you still come out to make these?" Lin Xiu approached, frowning slightly, disapproving.
"It's just that I'm bored. I'm usually served by servants." Lin Mo took the small stove on the stone table, and went to sit in the gazebo with his second brother.
"His Highness Prince Cheng is usually busy?" Lin Xiu sat down and poured a cup of hot tea for his younger brother.
Knowing Cheng Yan's identity, Lin Xiu naturally couldn't call him by his name at will. This is the imperial city, and there are many people who are careful. What's more, he is still a candidate for the exam in Beijing, so he has to be cautious in everything.
Lin Mo frowned slightly when he heard the second brother's unfamiliar title of honor to Cheng Yan. But think about it, the second elder brother is cautious, there are many maids waiting around them, presumably they don't want to be discussed about these trivial matters.
"Well, Cheng Yan and His Majesty the Emperor have already begun to investigate the conspiracy behind the prime minister, but I guess they also know about the prime minister's plan to rebel." Lin Mo said in a low voice.
When Lin Xiu heard it, his heart clicked, and he turned his head to look around, "Don't say these things outside in the future, be careful not to be heard."
"Second brother, you don't need to be so nervous, here are all Cheng Yan's people, and they are all standing so far away, they won't hear you." Lin Mo said helplessly, second brother, is he being too cautious
Not to mention that Cheng Yan never concealed him, even if his servants heard about it, no one would dare to reveal it. Those who can enter Prince Cheng's Mansion are naturally carefully selected.
An Chenglin still attaches great importance to the safety of his two younger brothers. The people in Prince Cheng's mansion or the maids and eunuchs in An Jinyuan's palace are all carefully selected.
Lin Xiu didn't say anything after hearing that, Cheng Yan was watching anyway.
In the end, Lin Mo took the second brother back to the room to talk, and what he said to the second brother later should not be heard by others, just in case.
"Second brother, do you know about the Lin family in the capital?" Lin Mo asked.
"I know a little bit, what's the matter? Why do you ask this suddenly?" Lin Xiu wondered.
Of course, Lin Xiu knew something about the Lin family in the capital, but he was said to have been convicted of treason in the previous dynasty. The Lin family and the Yu family are both scholarly families, but now there are only families left.
Of course, when Lin Xiu thought of this, what flashed through his mind was what Lin Mo told them when they left Mulin County, something was wrong with their family.
"You mean..." Lin Xiu looked at Lin Mo in shock, unable to speak.
"Well, we are the descendants of the Lin family. Grandpa moved to Daling Village as a merchant. It must have been a fake. Cheng Yan and His Majesty the Emperor have already found out that the ancestral house of the Lin family is currently being renovated. It is estimated that when the parents are taken over You can live in." Lin Mo explained.
"No... Cheng Yan has already sent someone to pick up his parents?!" Lin Xiu looked anxious.
"Amo, have you ever thought that the fact that our family was framed may not be just because of the prime minister's rebellion." Lin Xiu took a deep breath and said in a low voice.
Take the parents over now, isn't this exposing their family to those people in advance
"Second brother, you also thought of it? After I learned about the Lin family in the capital, I felt that it must not be an accident that our family was forced into a conspiracy in the past life that the elder brother said." Lin Mo said.
In the eldest brother's previous life, he and his father were unable to save Cheng Yan. The eldest brother also didn't say anything about the Lin family in the capital, that is to say, the emperor in the previous life didn't find out about it at all.
Afterwards, it may be discovered by someone with a heart, and that person may be the prime minister, or Prince Jing. In order to succeed in the rebellion, and remove the descendants of the Lin family by the way, they designed to involve their family in a conspiracy.
What about Su Qingran? What role does the time-traveling woman play in it? In his previous life, he was able to get rid of Su Qingran in the end, maybe she was just a pawn in Prince Jing's hands. Otherwise, Lin Mo would not believe that he in his previous life could kill Su Qingran.
"Didn't you tell your elder brother before? You said that we would pick up our parents after we have solved all the troubles." Lin Xiu felt a little helpless, and now his plans were all disrupted.
"With Cheng Yan and His Majesty here, and the Lin family's crimes have been vindicated, those people should not dare to attack our family again. However, in order to prevent accidents, we have to expose the prime minister's conspiracy in advance." Lin Mo Said.
"Is there anyone behind the prime minister?" Lin Xiu asked.
If you want to rebel, you must either collude with other countries or have someone behind you. Otherwise, the prime minister will be the emperor himself? If you are so old and have died for a year or two, why bother with so many things
"It should be King Jing."
"Cheng Yan and His Majesty also know?"
"Yes. But they should still be investigating." Lin Mo nodded.
"There is still a period of time before the test. The test will take a month before the palace test. The prime minister's plan is not so fast, we still have time, and the second brother will do the rest. Don't act on your own." Lin Xiu Don't worry.
When Lin Xiu thought of what his elder brother said, Lin Mo in his previous life died with those people for revenge, and he felt sour in his heart.
"I know, but second brother, you can't be fooled by the prime minister's daughter again this time. She is not a good person. I heard that she will fall in love with any good-looking man." Lin Mo suddenly thought of the prime minister's family. Su Qingran, thinking about what her elder brother said, hurriedly reminded her.
Although he knew that the second brother definitely didn't like that woman now, he was still worried that the second brother would be affected by the aura of Mary Su, a time-traveling woman.
"Second brother knows." Lin Xiu felt uncomfortable in his stomach when he heard that woman. How could he be fascinated by that woman, but thinking about what his elder brother said, that the prime minister's daughter is a bit evil, he became more vigilant in his heart.
If you encounter her by accident, you may have to try your best to avoid it.
The maid guarding the gate of the courtyard saw the prince approaching and hurriedly saluted.
"Why stay here?" Cheng Yan frowned.
"Master Wang asked the servants to stand farther away." The maid replied respectfully.
"Wang Fu's elder brother is here?"
"yes."
Cheng Yan didn't say anything when he heard it, he raised his hand to let the people behind him wait here, and walked in by himself. If the second brother is inside, he can understand Momo doing this.
It's just that they don't want the servants to hear their conversation, but Cheng Yan is a little puzzled, what do they have to say to avoid the servants
Before Cheng Yan could reach the door, the door was knocked, Lin Mo came out first, and Lin Xiu followed behind.
"Cheng Yan, you're back!" Seeing Cheng Yan, Lin Mo frowned slightly and walked over quickly.
The second brother arrived in the imperial city safely, and just explained everything to the second brother. The big stone that was pressing on his heart was finally removed, and Lin Mo relaxed a lot.
"Yeah." Seeing that his mood had obviously improved, Cheng Yan's face, which had been tense just now, relaxed a little, and he stretched out his hands to rub his head.
Lin Xiu stood aside and watched, Cheng Yan's current clothes and sharp demeanor were indeed very different from before. However, seeing with his own eyes that Cheng Yan still treats his younger brother the same as before, Lin Xiu felt relieved a lot.
"His Royal Highness Cheng Wang."
"Second brother, is this stranger to me?"
"I just said that Cheng Yan wouldn't mind..." Lin Mo stood beside Cheng Yan, looking at his second brother and muttering.
"Courtesy cannot be discarded."
"No outsiders are here or in the palace, Second Brother is fine as usual, otherwise Momo will get angry with me again." Cheng Yan shook his head and said.
"When did I do this?" Lin Mo glared at him. At most, it's just feeling uncomfortable, why get angry with him, has he ever had it
"Second brother go to rest first, and I'll get someone to call second brother after dinner time." Cheng Yan put one arm around Lin Mo to keep him from moving, and said to Lin Xiu.
"Then I'll leave first." Lin Xiu nodded and walked out of the yard. The boy waiting at the side saw him coming out and hurried to follow him.
"I have some books in my study, you can ask my second brother, if he wants to read them, he can read them." Cheng Yan walked into the room with his arms around Lin Mo's waist.
"Study? Apart from military books, there are some idle books, you let the second brother read these?" Lin Mo glanced at him.
"That's just my office. I never let anyone in except you. The study is in another place, and the books in it are suitable for my second brother to read." Cheng Yan pinched his face and smiled.
"I don't need to enter the palace for a few days, why not go out with you?"
"What's there to go shopping outside? Didn't you go shopping before?" Lin Mo shook his head and expressed that he didn't want to go. He was not interested in shopping a second time. If he had that time, he might as well stay in the mansion with Cheng Yan.
"The peach and pear blossoms in the western suburbs are already in bloom, why don't you go and see them?" Cheng Yan sat down, hugged her in his arms, and laughed softly.
He is really busy recently. Except for a visit with Momo before, Momo can only stay in the mansion alone at other times. Unlike before he recovered his memory, when he and Momo lived in Daling Village, they stayed together every day.
"Xijiao? Let's go and have a look." Lin Mo thought for a while and nodded.
A large area of peach blossoms and pear blossoms are in full bloom, which must be very beautiful.
"Pick some more petals and come back to make peach blossom wine?" Lin Mo turned his head to look at him, his eyes lit up.
"Well, we can pick more and make some peach blossom cakes." Cheng Yan stroked the corners of his eyes with his fingertips, and looked at him with a smile in his eyes.
Lin Mo didn't know that the light in his eyes was like the stars in the dark night, which fascinated the man in front of him.
"If Xiaonan and Xiaoya were here, the first thing that would come to mind when they saw those flowers would be pastries." Peach blossom-flavored pastries, every time they go to Yan's house, must-have pastries.
"Miss them?"
"Yeah." Lin Mo hugged Cheng Yan and nestled in his arms, feeling a little disappointed.
I want to hear Xiao Nan and Xiao Ya call him fourth uncle, and miss the occasional confrontation between the two younger brothers, as well as the care of the family. Lin Mo found that it was not difficult for him to accept his current family.
It turned out that he had long been used to their presence.
"They have been sent to pick them up, and they will arrive in two months at most, just in time for our marriage." Cheng Yan hugged him tightly, sighed in his heart, and coaxed softly.
Momo always makes him feel bad inadvertently.
