Qi Zhen stood under the window and looked at the night outside, thinking about today's events.

The chamberlain went inside to serve tea, and along the way reported the interrogation news sent by the secret guards to Qi Zhen.

"Your Majesty, the Madam of Yulu Tower told me something, saying that the death of the young master of the Song family was probably a love affair."

Killing because of love? When Qi Zhen heard this, he thought it was absurd.

Then Li Mu was famously cold later on, how could he kill someone for love?

He chuckled softly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said casually: "Killing for love? Then tell me, how did the madam infer that it was murder for love?"

After saying this, he put down the tea cup and pinched his eyebrows lazily.

The chamberlain obviously saw that his master was not caring, but what he should report was only half a sentence, so he still respectfully told the old bustard's confession.

"The old madam said that Gu Yunniang, who disappeared six months ago, left Luoyang with a knight. When she left, the old madam went to see her off and saw the knight. A few days ago, when the old madam went to the street, she accidentally saw the knight.

Entered a rouge shop. By coincidence, during the day, I heard that the young master of the Song family had teased the proprietress of a rouge shop, and that night, he lost his life."

When the chamberlain reported these words, Qi Zhen's movement of pinching the center of his eyebrows was stagnant for a moment.

This means that Li Mu was the one who took Gu Yunniang away, and now he took Gu Yunniang back to Luoyang, opened a rouge shop, and lived an ordinary life in Luoyang.

When Qi Zhen heard it at first, he felt that there was no basis for this. After all, in his previous life, Li Mu only wanted to reverse the case for his family. If the case was not reversed, he would never be willing to live an ordinary life.

But when he recalled it again, Qi Zhen suddenly felt that something was wrong.

In his previous life, Li Mu was indeed bleeding for half his life. When Qi Zhen died, he had no wife or concubines, but he had a child by his side.

That child later became Qi Zhen's adopted son.

The reason why Qi Zhen chose that child as his adopted son, took great pains to train him, and entrusted him to Guo Zuo was unknown to others, but he himself understood it very clearly.

It's that child, his eyebrows look a little like Linglong's.

The child once went to the Palace of Eternal Life and offered incense to Linglong. When he first saw Linglong's portrait, he looked at Linglong's portrait and asked Qi Zhen if the person in the portrait in the Palace of Eternal Life was his biological mother.

Qi Zhen also hoped that Linglong under Luoyang City could survive and give birth to a child who was as healthy as her.

Unfortunately, she had already died at the gates of Luoyang City, leaving nothing but her bones.

Qi Zhen did not know who the child's biological mother was.

He only knew that it was Li Mu who raised that child, and that child called him Master.

But even though he was calling the master, the child's name was listed in the Li family tree.

Qi Zhen heard rumors more than once that the child was Li Mu's biological son.

If this is the case, I am afraid that Gu Yunniang is the biological mother of this child.

However, in the previous life, when Qi Zhen met Li Mu, although Li Mu had already raised the child, he had no wife or concubines, let alone the child's biological mother.

If Li Mu is really the child's biological father, he must have affection for the child's biological mother. It's no wonder that he plans to live a normal life in Luoyang.

If the confession of the Madam of Yululou was taken seriously, it would not be surprising for Li Mu to kill the wine bag and rice bag of the Song family.

In her early years, Gu Yunniang was redeemed by the Song family's wine bag and rice bag, and there were always disputes. It was fine after that, but when the idiot from the Song family came to provoke her again, she was afraid that she would be offended.

Also, no man in this world can bear to be contaminated by someone else, not to mention someone with some past entanglements.

Qi Zhen thought about this, shook his head and sighed, put down the tea cup and asked the secret guard Linglong again for news.

Qi Zhen, who was sighing for Li Mu at this moment, probably would not have thought that in the future, because of similar reasons, his past pride would be destroyed, and he would like to crush Li Mu to ashes.

Early the next morning, in the small courtyard of the market.

Linglong, who had just woken up, opened the door and entered the courtyard. When she raised her eyes, she saw Li Mu sitting at the stone table in the courtyard.

On the stone table were some porridge and side dishes, all of which were Linglong's favorite flavors.

"Wake up, come and have breakfast. If it's later, you won't be able to catch up with the neighbor's bride." Li Mu called her over with a smile.

Linglong carried her skirt and walked towards the table. As soon as she arrived, she saw the gauze wrapped in Li Mu's hand.

She frowned and was about to ask what was going on when Li Mu answered first.

"I made a fire to cook this morning. I accidentally hurt my hand with the sword while chopping firewood. It's not serious." As he spoke, Li Mu also delivered a bowl of porridge to Linglong.

Linglong took the porridge bowl and muttered: "I told you to keep your sword, but you just didn't listen..."

Li Mu's sword is a life-saving thing, so it is impossible to put it down.

Linglong kept mumbling, and Li Mu smiled, looked at the sky, and reminded: "Hurry up and eat, I just heard Grandma Xi call me. If you don't hurry up, I won't be able to meet the bride in time."

As soon as he said this, he remembered the sound of etiquette outside.

Linglong panicked and hurriedly drank the cold and warm porridge, put down the bowl and took Li Mu with her and ran into the alley outside the door.

When I ran out, I happened to catch up with the newlywed bride going out.

At this moment, the alleys were hung with red silk wedding characters, and the newlyweds, covered with a wedding kerchief, were carried out of the house by the groom.

Everyone in the street was beaming with joy, except for the bride's parents, who wiped away tears.

Li Mu stood behind Linglong, looking at the wedding scene. He recalled in his mind many years ago when he and Linglong watched the girl next door in Yunzhou get married.

At that time, Shen Linglong saw the girl crying about getting married and told him that she would marry him as his bride in the future.

After so many years, he never had the chance to see her in her red wedding dress, nor was he lucky enough to be her husband.

Li Mu's eyes looked wistful, and he sighed in his heart.

He thought about what Linglong would look like wearing a red wedding dress.

The smile should be even brighter, and I wouldn't cry if I think about it.

With her temperament, she would definitely marry the man she would be most happy to marry, and he would definitely not cry.

Yes, Li Mu was half right.

Linglong indeed never cried when she got married.

She married her favorite husband and looked forward to being with him for a long time until she grew old. How could she cry?

Her tears were shed only during the days and nights after they got married, and not a single drop was shed on the wedding day.

But at this time, Linglong looked at the girl who was crying for marriage, and for some reason, she shed two lines of tears.

With tears in her eyes, Linglong couldn't clearly see the girl's appearance, but she vaguely seemed to be seeing herself at a certain time.

Before her eyes, she was wearing a red wedding dress, standing in a deserted wedding hall, looking extremely pitiful.

But that version of herself smiled with crooked eyebrows and no worries at all, and her face was full of innocence and innocence. But Linglong looked at her innocent smile and felt uncomfortable in her heart.

She wanted to see everything about this wedding ceremony clearly, but she could only see a deserted wedding hall, with no people around, and it didn't even look like a wedding was being held.

Linglong tried her best to think back, trying to remember something.

Everything in my mind suddenly fell apart.

Those two lines of clear tears dried up, and the memory of myself wearing a red wedding dress disappeared in the eyes of tears, and the girl crying for marriage in the alley came into view again.

The girl was carried out of the alley by the groom. Linglong watched her figure disappear before looking back.

Looking back, her tears fell into Li Mu's eyes.

Li Mu looked at her crying face and was startled, thinking that she had remembered something.

He shook the palm of his hand and wanted to raise his hand to wipe her tears, but he subconsciously withdrew his hand, forced a smile, maintained his gentle smile, and said: "Why do you cry when you see a happy event?"

. Could it be that this scene reminds you of something, Linglong?"

Li Mu asked her with a smile, and there was gentle ridicule in his words.

It looked like normal, but in fact, my heart was trembling.

He thought that if she really remembered something, this stolen time would be over.

I just don't know if she will resent him.

Fortunately, Linglong shook her head.

"No, I don't know how. Seeing the newlyweds crying, I cried unconsciously." Linglong replied to Li Mu, then thought of the crying wedding, and asked Li Mu: "I can't remember, you

Remember, when I got married, I cried so much."

Li Mu froze, pursed his lips, looked in the direction of the newlyweds outside the alley, and said: "It is a custom to cry when getting married, and I don't know if Linglong will behave like that girl just now on her wedding day.

I cried when I got married, but I thought that Linglong would definitely be happy when she got married, and maybe she wouldn’t cry."

Linglong frowned when she heard what he said.

"Li Mu, you are so strange. I have lost my memory so I don't remember the wedding. You don't remember it. You should be the one who carried me out. You don't know if I cried and got married."

Li Mu really didn't know. He pursed his lips and said nothing.

Linglong then muttered: "Is it possible that you, the groom, were not present when we got married..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Linglong's head suddenly started to hurt violently.

She rubbed her forehead and her whole body was shaking. Li Mu supported her by her side, preventing her from falling straight down.

Linglong's eyes were filled with darkness, but she saw herself again wearing a red wedding dress.
