Chapter 305 The end of the story
"I stared at Li Yifan, feeling a huge tearing sensation in my heart, as if there were two villains arguing in my mind.
One said: Believe him, he is a time traveler like you, and you have gone through the difficult times together. How could he lie to you?
Even if he lied to you, even if the truth is that Concubine Yun was put to death for the crime of "resurrecting from the dead", it definitely wasn't him! He loved Concubine Yun!
Another said: Stop deceiving yourself. You know, even if the Jiang family servants were talking nonsense and spreading rumors, why did they mention the four words "resurrection from the dead"?
Why is it exactly 'Reincarnation'?
Why was it the four words "resurrection through a corpse" that you heard clearly?
Unless there are other time travelers in Kyoto, your suspicion of Li Yifan will never be eliminated.
I was staring at Li Yifan so intently that he looked a little uncomfortable and asked me what was wrong.
My acting skills are very good. I immediately showed an expression of surprise and sadness, choked up, and said that Yun Fei’s death was too sudden and I couldn’t accept it for a while.
After hearing this, Li Yifan seemed relieved and also expressed his grief.
But he immediately said that because he had been in the palace all this time and witnessed the entire process of Concubine Yun's funeral, he was naturally more accepting of this matter than I was, who had just heard the bad news.
He said we should have a drink tonight to pay tribute to Yun Fei who passed away early and to A Shui whom we will never see again.
So, Li Yifan took out a small bottle of wine from his arms and said that this wine was Yun Fei's favorite, called Zui Dong Feng.
I nodded and said okay.
Li Yifan poured the Zui Dong Feng into the white porcelain wine glass. The green wine rippled slightly on the smooth white porcelain wall, and then a grape aroma emanated from it.
Yes, a gentle woman like Concubine Yun would most likely like fruit wine.
I raised the wine glass, recalling every moment with Concubine Yun in my mind, and praying in my heart that she could be reborn in paradise.
When the wine glass was handed to my lips, I suddenly realized that this first glass of wine should be given to Yun Fei, so I raised my eyes and looked at Li Yifan, wanting him to drink with me.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I raised my eyes, my gaze met his. It turned out that he did not take the wine glass and drink it all in one gulp as he did in the past. Instead, he was observing me.
He shifted his gaze, as if he didn't know I would suddenly look at him. My heart trembled and I put down the wine glass at the corner of my mouth.
Li Yifan asked me why I didn’t drink. Did I not like fruit wine?
Because, when we drank together before, I rarely drank fruit wine.
I said I wanted to give the first glass of wine to Concubine Yun, and Li Yifan suddenly realized and quickly said that it was his duty.
During the second glass of wine, I found that Li Yifan was still staring at me, which was extremely abnormal.
I can't drink any more wine.
I put my glass down again and calmly made an excuse.
Li Yifan opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he said nothing, and his glass of wine remained untouched.
My neighbor raises chickens. After Li Yifan left, I bought one from my neighbor and fed Zui Dongfeng with it.
As expected, the chicken died within a few breaths of drinking the wine.
After I buried the chicken with trembling hands, I left a letter for Li Yifan, then secretly left Kyoto and returned to Anruo Temple.
After finishing this story, Huineng picked up the cold tea on the table, drank it all in one gulp, and remained silent for a long time.
"Gone?"
Seeing that Huineng didn't speak for a long time, Luo Xiaoran asked.
"Yeah! It's gone!"
Huineng nodded and breathed a long sigh of relief. His story was very long and it took a lot of energy just to tell it.
Fortunately, he finally finished speaking.
Luo Xiaoran felt very strange, frowned slightly, and asked about her doubts:
"Since Li Yifan wants to kill you, and he also knows that you are a monk of Anruo Temple, what if he comes to hunt you down after you leave Kyoto and return to Anruo Temple?"
Huineng smiled.
"I guess Li Yifan wants to kill me because he's afraid that I'll reveal the fact that we're both time travelers.
Because he had seen in Concubine Yun how the royal family, as the ruling class of this world, could not tolerate those who resurrected through borrowing corpses.
In the letter I left for Li Yifan, I wrote that he and Yun Fei were the only two close friends I had in the world. Now that Yun Fei had passed away, I felt that life was unpredictable and I wanted to go out for a walk to relax. I also told him to play the role of Jiang Bin well and not let anyone see any flaws.
First, I am playing the emotional card. Concubine Yun is already dead. Do you, Li Yifan, still want to kill me, your only remaining friend? You failed to kill me once, and you want to kill me a second time?
Secondly, I would make a feint to the east and attack in the west. I would tell Li Yifan that I was going out for a walk so that he would not know where I was going. In fact, I would secretly return to Anruo Temple and seek refuge in this national temple.
Third, in the letter, I expressed my cautious attitude towards our identity as time travelers. Since the day I met Li Yifan, I have always emphasized that if we meet someone who knows the original owner, we must not reveal our identity. Therefore, Li Yifan will believe that I will not reveal the fact that we are time travelers, and he will lose the reason to kill me.
Last but not least, after I returned to Anruo Temple, I became a "crazy monk", which not only concealed the fact that I didn't know Huineng's previous memories, but also gave Li Yifan a reason to lower his guard.
My bet was right. I am still alive and well, but since I traveled through time, I have never seen anyone tie up their hair."
Hearing the last sentence, Luo Xiaoran's heart trembled. That was the helplessness of being a time traveler in this era, out of control and drifting around!
Luo Xiaoran then secretly pinched herself, wishing she could hit herself hard on the forehead, and cursed herself in annoyance:
What's wrong with you! Were you sympathizing with Huineng at that moment? Sympathizing with him for not having freedom? The matter between Niu Dan and Uncle Li has not been settled yet! Clear your mind!
Chen Ji couldn't help but think of Li Heng's words again. His good friend was the one who led the team to find his mother and Jiang Bin.
Later, his good friend and most of his subordinates died. Did Jiang Bin kill them to silence them in order to prevent the affair between him and his mother from being spread?
But the Lin family eventually found out that Jiang Bin had saved his mother, so they wanted to get rid of him. Jiang Bin had no choice but to come up with a plan to "resurrect the dead" so that the Lin family would kill his mother in order to save himself.
After Lin Yueyi got rid of her mother, who was a great threat to her, she let Jiang Bin go, whose "merits and demerits offset each other", and even felt like supporting him.
"According to your story, combined with what I have found out over the years:
Li Yifan, now Jiang Bin, is most likely the one who betrayed my mother, colluded with the Lin family, and killed my mother by accusing her of "resurrection from the dead".
And because he betrayed my mother, he went from being an unloved bastard of the Jiang family to becoming the head of the Jiang family with the support of the Lin family, right?"
