Chapter 450
Through the reflection of the bronze mirror, Jiang Zhimian saw the lonely expression on Lian Yun's face.

Immediately, I realized that I might have said the wrong thing.

"I'm sorry, am I..." Jiang Zhimian asked tentatively.

Lian Yun quickly retracted the look in her eyes, returning to her usual indifferent look.

"It's okay, it has nothing to do with you in the first place, it's all old things." Lian Yun said.

Although it doesn't matter what she said, but the faster and faster movements of her hands can still see the fluctuations in her heart.

After finishing the Yuan Baobin, Jiang Zhimian asked, "How did you think about the things I asked you to think about last time?"

"Let me tell you my story first." Lian Yun said.

Jiang Zhimian sat up straight immediately, as if obediently listening to the class.

Lian Yun's story begins 20 years ago.

Twenty years ago, the emperor in power in the Northern Qi Dynasty was the still young Emperor Xuanwu, who practiced benevolent policies and won the hearts of the people.

It's a pity that he was killed by treacherous ministers and his brothers in an attempt to overthrow him and usurp the throne.

In that forced palace incident, Emperor Xuanwu's own son was still in his infancy, but was about to be killed by treacherous officials.

The queen happened to summon the general's wife into the palace that day, and wanted to make a baby kiss with the general's wife's child.

If he can grow up in the future, he must marry the child of the general's wife as his concubine.

If this child can be virtuous, he will have the opportunity to go up.

But amidst this peace, treacherous ministers broke into the Queen's bedroom and set fire to burn them to death.

In order to hug the queen and the prince, the general's wife let her child's cheek be scratched by the falling pillar in a panic.

And she herself was killed because she escaped with the prince.

"Mrs. General, is that your mother?" Jiang Zhimian couldn't help being shocked.

"En," Lian Yun nodded, and slowly took off her mask.

After that, the scars left by the fire were terrifying, making half of his face very hideous.

And the half of the face that was not burned was all over the country. If there were no such things, Lian Yun must be a very beautiful woman.

At this age, she has already married Mr. Ruyi and lived a stable life.

It's a pity that good luck makes people.

"Your mother died for Beiqi. Although she died with honor, she is a hero." Jiang Zhimian said.

Lian Yun twitched her lips helplessly.

Because of the burns, such a smile didn't look very beautiful, but rather ferocious.

Ordinary people will only shy away in fright when they see it.

But Jiang Zhimian, as a doctor, has the heart of his parents, so he only feels pity in his heart.

It's all because there was no mature skin transplant surgery in ancient times, otherwise Lian Yun would have been scalded at a young age, and in the past 20 years, there would have been plenty of opportunities to restore her original beauty.

"If possible, I hope she is more selfish, so she won't end up dead." Lian Yun sighed.

Jiang Zhimian also expressed his understanding.

Who is not selfish?
I hope my mother can live, and she would think so too.

But this is her choice.

"Your mother has been dead for many years, I believe she has let go of her decision, and I hope you can let go too." Jiang Zhimian comforted.

When Lian Yun heard this, she stared at Jiang Zhimian with strange eyes for a long while.

Then he said softly, "Jiang Zhimian, you are really the strangest person I've ever seen."

"Why do you say that?" Jiang Zhimian looked down at himself, left and right, but didn't see anything strange about him.

"I exposed my identity to you, and now whether you hand me over or escort me back to Beiqi, it is harmful and useless, but you are indifferent and just want to comfort me."

It was the first time she saw someone who didn't care about fame and wealth.

She deliberately told this story first just now, just to see Jiang Zhimian's reaction and make sure if she really wanted to help herself.

Now it has been proved that Jiang Zhimian is really a good person.

"You are the daughter of a great general, and your mother sacrificed her life for the country back then. Such a family of loyal ministers was murdered in the north, which shows how chaotic the Northern Qi Dynasty is. Wouldn't it be easy to die if I went to be the first bird?"

She just let it go and live a good life, but why make trouble for herself.

Lian Yun raised her eyebrows, "Since you think so, then you should hand me over, so that you won't be tracked down in the future."

"I'm not stupid. When those people kill and silence me, I will be even worse." Jiang Zhimian made it very clear.

The best way for her, for Lian Yun, is to find a way to send her back to Beiqi quietly.

It's good for everyone until it's unnoticed.

"You are very interesting. You shouldn't just stay in such a small place. If you were in Northern Qi, you would be a good courtier." Lian Yun sighed.

Northern Qi is a very enlightened country. If a woman is talented, she can be a courtier, but she cannot marry and have children. She lives alone, saving unnecessary emotions.

Lian Yun is such a courtier.

She went out with her father and made countless victories, but once she was killed by a traitor, she ended up living in the mountains of the Kingdom of Jin.

If it wasn't for Jiang Zhimian's help, she might not have the chance to return to Beiqi.

"It's a bit troublesome to go back with my face. If you can change your appearance, you can paint a man's makeup for me. It's easier to get away with it." Lian Yun said.

Jiang Zhimian nodded, "No problem, it's not difficult."

After a pause, he asked curiously again, "Now you are the emperor of Northern Qi, is it the prince that your mother saved back then?"

"No," Lian Yun shook her head, "The prince hasn't appeared since that day, and no one knows where he went. After that, no prince was born in the royal family. Even if a princess is born occasionally, he will die soon. Today's The Northern Qi Dynasty is still ruled by Emperor Xuanwu."

After all, Emperor Xuanwu has been emperor for more than 20 years.

It's also deeply rooted.

But after more than 20 years in the intriguing court, I am afraid that his body has already been hollowed out.

"Have you ever thought about finding the missing prince, who is your baby's husband." Jiang Zhimian asked curiously.

Lian Yun shook her head honestly, "I never thought about it, but I heard from my father that in the years before the prince disappeared, Bei Qi spent countless financial and material resources trying to find the prince, but there was no trace. Now that so many years have passed, I'm afraid..."

The prince must have been killed in the forced palace incident back then...

Even if it is not dead, it is estimated that it will not be found.

When the prince disappeared, he only had a jade pendant on his body. Emperor Xuanwu searched the whole country for the whereabouts of this jade pendant, but there was no response.

After breaking the clue of Yupei, how can I find it?

"That's it." Jiang Zhimian nodded, and didn't ask further.

It's better not to ask more about the gossip and secrets of other countries, lest they be killed by Lian Yun.
