Chapter 506 The Truth From Nineteen Years Ago

The sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear.

In front of the mausoleum, Lin Jiangnian stood quietly by the side, watching Lin Hengzhong standing in front of the mausoleum and talking to himself.

This man who was extremely powerful in the world had lost half of his former momentum. There was a bit of tenderness between his eyebrows.

He just talked to himself quietly, and there was silence between heaven and earth.

After a while, Lin Hengzhong finally retracted his gaze.

"Wan'er, you have a good rest, I will accompany you next time."

After that, Lin Hengzhong turned around, looked at Lin Jiangnian, and said, "Let's go."

Lin Jiangnian nodded without speaking.

Lin Hengzhong turned around first and walked down the mountain.

Lin Jiangnian followed behind, the two of them one in front and one behind, in silence.

Looking up, there were distant peaks in front of him, and a prosperous city located below the distant peaks in the distance.

Linjiang City!

And, the Linwang Mansion located in the corner of the mountain!

Finally, when passing a pavilion on the hillside, Lin Hengzhong suddenly stopped.

Lin Jiangnian also stopped.

"Nineteen years ago, I was still in the southern border, under the order of the emperor, to eradicate the rebellious forces in the south..."

Lin Hengzhong looked ahead and suddenly spoke.

Lin Jiangnian glanced at Lin Hengzhong and saw that his eyes were deep, as if he was lost in memories.

"Your mother was pregnant at the time. She originally stayed in Jiangnan Jiang's family to take care of the baby, but she secretly left Jiangnan and came all the way to find me. Unexpectedly, she was assassinated by a group of mysterious masters on the road..."

"When I got the news and brought people to the scene, it was a mess, with corpses everywhere. Fortunately, your mother is fine..."

"Mother and child are safe!"

When he heard this, Lin Jiangnian finally realized something... The assassination that year was probably closely related to his life experience.

And Lin Jiangnian also noticed that his aunt had mentioned that Princess Lin gave birth to her child in Jiangnan, but Lin Hengzhong said that it was on the way?

What misunderstanding happened?

"Your mother was frightened at the time, and then she got seriously ill... After your mother recovered, she told me what happened at the time..."

When he said this, Lin Hengzhong's tone was a little heavy, a little regretful, and a little cold.

"Your mother is stubborn. I originally arranged for her to stay in Jiangnan Jiang's family to take care of the baby, but she sneaked out of Jiang's family..."

"She was frightened at the time, which led to an early delivery period... Your mother, under the protection of the guards around her, successfully gave birth to twins..."

After hearing the word twins from Lin Hengzhong, Lin Jiangnian finally completely confirmed his identity.

"What happened later?"

Lin Jiangnian asked in a low voice, a little impatient to know what happened later.

"That group of assassins came with great force, and their purpose was to target your mother. All the guards around your mother were killed or injured. At the critical moment, a group of mysterious people appeared and saved your mother."

"Your mother had just given birth to you, and her body was weak. She was frightened and lost too much blood, and she fainted. When I brought people to the scene, only your mother and a baby were left at the scene..."

"..."

Lin Jiangnian listened quietly to Lin Hengzhong's story of what happened that year, and he probably guessed and understood something.

That year, Princess Lin was assassinated by a mysterious master on the road, and all the guards around her were killed or injured. When Lin Hengzhong arrived, only Princess Lin and a newborn child were left at the scene.

In this way, in the eyes of everyone, Princess Lin gave birth to only one child that year.

The only people who knew that Princess Lin gave birth to twins were Princess Lin herself and the mysterious people who saved Princess Lin.

"Who saved... my mother?"

Lin Jiangnian asked in a deep voice.

Lin Hengzhong narrowed his eyes slightly: "For the past ten years, I have been looking for their whereabouts."

"But this group of people are hiding too deeply, and there has been no clues..."

Speaking of this, Lin Hengzhong glanced at Lin Jiangnian, his eyes deep and complicated.

That year, after he rescued Wan'er, he learned the truth from Wan'er. Lin Hengzhong immediately sent people to investigate, trying to find the whereabouts of the lost child.

But Lin Hengzhong was not the King of Lin at that time, and the fierce war in the south made him too busy to be distracted.

The people sent out to search, but they never found anything!

The south was too chaotic at that time, the people were living in misery, and the world was in chaos. The group of people who assassinated Princess Lin and the people who rescued Princess Lin have no news.

Naturally, there is no news about the remaining child!

For this reason, Princess Lin was depressed, and she died a few years later due to the hidden illness she had left in her body.

When Princess Lin died, Lin Hengzhong had already pacified the war in the south, and was granted a title of nobility by the emperor. He had a high reputation among the people and was extremely powerful.

And he still did not give up looking for Lin Jiangnian's whereabouts.

Over the years, he has been secretly sending people to find clues from the past. For this reason, he almost searched the entire southern region.

But in the end, nothing was found!

"I originally thought that you were dead..."

Lin Hengzhong looked at Lin Jiangnian, and when he said this, his tone was a little more heavy.

Indeed, no one would think that Lin Jiangnian would still be alive.

More than ten years have passed. How difficult is it to find a baby who was still in the cradle when he was lost?

Even if he is the King of Lin, even if he is extremely powerful, it will be of no use.

More importantly, he is not sure whether Lin Jiangnian was taken away by the group who assassinated Princess Lin or the group who rescued Lin Jiangnian!

Both of these forces seemed to appear and disappear out of thin air.

Lin Hengzhong has been investigating for more than ten years, but has not been able to find any clues.

Lin Jiangnian keenly captured the details: "What is the purpose of the mysterious force that assassinated my father?!"

Back then, Lin Hengzhong was not King Lin yet, so who would want to kill him?

But when he asked for an answer, Lin Jiangnian reacted quickly.

Although Lin Hengzhong was not King Lin at that time, he had already distinguished himself in the army and was the commander-in-chief of the southern army.

So……

Lin Jiangnian and Lin Hengzhong looked at each other, and Lin Hengzhong nodded and said solemnly: "Dad later searched almost all over southern Xinjiang, but there was still no clue..."

Lin Jiangnian probably understands why there are so many treasures from southern Xinjiang in Ruyi Building!

After more than a dozen countries in southern Xinjiang were destroyed, they were swept away by Lin Hengzhong. While searching for clues about the whereabouts of those people, he also took away all the treasures of the southern Xinjiang countries over the years.

"Dad actually wants to ask you..."

Lin Hengzhong looked at Lin Jiangnian, and after a moment, he asked in a deep voice: "Where have you been these years?"

"Who took him in? How could he... go home?"

A year ago, when Lin Heng returned to Prince Lin's Mansion and saw Lin Jiangnian for the first time, he could tell.

He is not his child!

But he is still his child!

Lin Hengzhong didn't expose it, just come back!

It was only now, a year later, when Lin Jiangnian returned to Prince Lin's Mansion that Lin Hengzhong finally asked.

Lin Jiangnian could not explain this problem.

When he woke up, he appeared in the ruined temple at the scene of the murder. Before he could react, he ran into Liu Su and his party.

Later, when he learned that he looked exactly like Prince Lin, Liu Su forced him to pretend to be Prince Lin.

As for the rest, Lin Jiangnian didn't know anything about it.

But he didn't know how to say this.

Therefore, it can only be explained by amnesia.

Indeed, his memory of the first half of his body completely disappeared, which was no different from amnesia.

However, Lin Jiangnian still feels a little dazed and delusional.

If he really has amnesia...then why is his body exactly the same as in his memory?

He is still him!

I just don’t know why, I came here inexplicably, and I have an inexplicable identity.

Very weird!

After hearing this, Lin Hengzhong also fell into silence for a short time.

He did not doubt Lin Jiangnian's words.

So to put it this way...

Jiang Nian didn't know what he had experienced before?

"Then dad..."

Lin Jiangnian remembered something again, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Where is he?"

"What's going on again?"

The person Lin Jiangnian asked about was the previous Prince Lin.

That is his brother. As for who is the elder brother and who is the younger brother...it's hard to say.

Why did he die?

How could he die in that ruined temple?

More importantly, since Lin Hengzhong knew from the beginning that Lin Jiangnian was fake, and also knew that the original Prince Lin was dead... why didn't he react at all?

Why not angry?

Never thought about revenge? !

All these are doubts buried in Lin Jiangnian's heart, which have never been solved.

When Lin Hengzhong heard Lin Jiangnian mention the child, a touch of sadness flashed through his eyes, and his whole person became much more depressed.

He looked at the scenery in the distance ahead, and after a while, he spoke slowly and deeply.

"He is your biological brother, he is dead..."

"Actually, I had expected it!"

Lin Hengzhong spoke in a deep voice.

Hearing the news, Lin Jiangnian was stunned.

Already known?

Lin Hengzhong also knew this a long time ago?

Then why... didn't he respond?

Lin Jiangnian suddenly remembered that he had heard similar news from Xu Lan before. Prince Lin had mentioned similar things to Xu Lan...

It seems that he has already predicted his death and is exchanging his 'last words' with Xu Lan?

But now, hearing that Lin Hengzhong also mentioned knowing about this matter made Lin Jiangnian feel even more stunned and unbelievable.

Since we had expected that he would die, why not stop him?

No prevention in advance?

"He inherited your mother's character and intelligence. He has been smart since he was a child. He is extremely talented in military and political affairs, much more powerful than his father..."

"Even Senior Li in Ruyi Building praised him endlessly. Dad has always cultivated him as his heir. With him inheriting dad's throne, even if dad dies in the future, the Lin family will not have to worry about any accidents..."

Lin Jiangnian was shocked.

It's rare to hear Lin Hengzhong praise someone so highly!

How powerful can his 'brother' be?

But since the other party is so smart, why has the "infamous reputation" of Prince Lin been spread throughout the world?

Why is this prince Linwang shouting to be beaten by everyone in Linjiang City?

There is probably only one reason that can explain all of this... "self-destruction and hiding one's own humiliation"!

"But unfortunately, I am always jealous of talented people..."

At this point, Lin Hengzhong's tone became serious.

Lin Jiangnian seemed to realize something: "Is there something wrong with his body?"

"That's right."

Lin Hengzhong's tone became deeper, and there seemed to be a fierce murderous intention emerging between heaven and earth.

And in an instant, it disappeared!

"Dad didn't expect that the assassination that year affected not only your mother..."

"He has a serious illness, which was not revealed at first, and only began to show signs after he was a teenager..."

"But he kept it a secret from Dad... He was too smart, and his intelligence made him suffer!"

"He thought he was fine and could handle it himself. He kept it a secret from everyone, even the maid next to him didn't notice it at all... By the time Dad found out, it was too late!"

When he said this, Lin Hengzhong's voice trembled slightly, and his deep eyes turned red.

"Dad realized that the people who assassinated your mother that year... They not only wanted to sow discord between Dad and the Jiang family, but also wanted Dad to have no descendants!"

"They had been eyeing our Lin family many years ago!"

Lin Jiangnian was silent.

His mood was also a little heavy and complicated. In this way, everything could be explained.

The marriage between the Lin family and the Jiang family had already made many people jealous and fearful. In addition, Lin Hengzhong was in the limelight and had a very high prestige, so it was not surprising that someone secretly attacked!

The person who attacked behind the scenes must not be a simple person!

As for him...

Lin Jiangnian suddenly realized why the previous Prince of Lin had such a bad relationship with Zhiyuan!

First, he wanted to "discredit himself and hide his shortcomings", and second, Zhiyuan was different from other maids. She was appointed by Lin Hengzhong himself and had great power in the Prince of Lin's mansion.

More importantly, Zhiyuan was very smart and perceptive!

The Prince of Lin was probably worried that his physical condition would be discovered by Zhiyuan, so he deliberately "broke up" with Zhiyuan.

After figuring this out, Lin Jiangnian asked again: "Then, what happened later?"

"Dad later tried to find all kinds of famous doctors and searched for rare herbs in the world to cure him, but it was all in vain..."

"It was too late!"

It is completely conceivable that the powerful Prince Lin could only watch his son die. What a tragic situation it was.

"Until one day, Nian'er suddenly found me and told me something. He said..."

Lin Hengzhong looked at Lin Jiangnian, paused for a moment, and said: "He said that he might have found your whereabouts..."

Lin Jiangnian suddenly looked up and saw Lin Hengzhong looking at him with warm and complicated eyes.

"Dad only then realized that he had known about your existence for a long time and knew that he had a biological brother..."

"Over the years, he has been secretly looking for your whereabouts..."

"When he realized that he didn't have much time left, he always wanted to find you and let you inherit his position..."

"Until a year ago..."

Speaking of this, Lin Hengzhong looked at Lin Jiangnian with a sad look in his eyes.

"The day after you returned to Prince Lin's Mansion, Dad received a 'suicide note' he left behind!"
