Today, Lin Xiaomeng was strolling in his garden behind his courtyard. After he was poisoned and rumors of it were widely spread across the city, Lin Xiaofei told him to pretend that he was still weak even after being cured.

The imperial family was eyeing the Lin family like a snake that was stalking its prey. After what happened last time where the fifth prince was greatly humiliated by Lin Xiaofei when he came to inquire about the antidote, Lin Xiaofei was instantly put on a pedestal as their number one target to crush aside from Lin Xiaomeng and Qu Xing Xu.

For the emperor and his daughters, the members of the Lin family were an eyesore. Lin Xiaomeng\'s undented prestige and his granddaughter\'s unparalleled beauty were enough to make a person\'s face become green in color because of envy and anger.

However, now that Princess Gao and Princess Zhou\'s lives were in great danger, the Emperor might do something drastic towards the Lin family in secret. In other words, if the princesses do not survive, they do not believe that Lin Xiaomeng will also survive.

And if it was not the case and he survived, they had hundreds of ways to correct that.

Thus Lin Xiaomeng could only remain inside his courtyard where it was heavily guarded, and no one could enter aside from his trusted people..

While the general was admiring the flowers before him, Lin Feng, his son, entered the garden.

"Father."

"How is it going? Still no news about who helped the princesses to slip the poison in?" Lin Xiaomeng asked his eldest son.

Lin Feng had grown thinner now because he had to be his father\'s replacement for the time being. All the work was now put on his shoulders, and he couldn\'t sleep at night because of it. Lin Xiaomeng, however, was proud to see that his eldest son was now working hard.

"I am still gathering evidence," was what Lin Feng told his father and looked down.

"So, you found the person who let this happen?" Lin Xiaomeng intensely glared at Lin Feng. However, he was not angry at his eldest son. He was angry at the person who tied their hands with the imperial family and tried to poison him.

Lin Feng strictly nodded as if he did not know if he should say it or not. When he found out the truth that his brother, Lin Sang, was the one who let the servant who disguised as one of their father\'s maids in, he almost wanted to barge inside his brother\'s room and beat him to death.

Unfortunately, he couldn\'t do that because Lin Xiaofei stopped him.

Lin Sang\'s reason why he tried to kill his own father was as Lin Xiaofei expected. Because her grandfather was growing older, the fight for the next successor would be difficult. On the one hand, Lin Feng was a scholar and was good with his works. While on the other hand, Lin Sang was a social butterfly and had connections with other nobles.

Hence, it was hard to choose from the two who would succeed Lin Xiaomeng.

Yet, the decision still lies on the great general.

However, even before Lin Xiaomeng could say who he wanted to inherit the Lin family as the next head, Lin Sang already sensed that Lin Feng was favored by their father and was unreconciled.

Thus, he was trapped by the scheme of Princess Gao and Princess Zhou. And in turn, he burned the string that connected him to his father by colliding with the princesses in order to kill him.

But that wasn\'t what was important to Lin Xiaomeng, Lin Feng, and Lin Xiaofei. The important question was how Lin Sang could do this to his father, who gave him everything.

That was why Lin Feng was now conflicted to tell his father the truth because he did not want to give him a shock with the truth.

"Let me investigate further and gather more evidence, father." Lin Feng shifted his foot uncomfortably. He didn\'t like lying to his father, but he had to. "Don\'t worry. It won\'t be long until the truth is out."

Lin Xiaomeng trusted his eldest son and didn\'t say anything more about this topic.

At this moment, Lin Xiaofei didn\'t know that Lin Feng chose to keep the truth from Lin Xiaomeng. Although she told him to act as if he didn\'t know that Lin Sang did it, it was only because she wanted Lin Sang to lower his guard and find out who the other one was involved in the poisoning.

After all, the poison was difficult to find and acquire. However, the princesses were able to get it so easily.

But Lin Feng chose not to say a word to his father. If Lin Xiaofei finds out that he didn\'t, she will definitely not go somewhere else and decide to tell her grandfather the truth to be wary of others, especially towards Lin Sang.

Unfortunately, Lin Xiaofei had no idea what Lin Feng had done and was riding a black steed. The horse rushed through the vacant street and reached the city gates. The guards there did not seem to notice that a woman was riding the horse and did not even bother with her as they let go out along with others.

\'Clop!\'

\'Clop!\'

An hour went by as Lin Xiaofei continued to ride the horse toward the Eastern path, the opposite direction where Qu Xing Xu and his company used; the North.

Feeling the sharp wind rushing towards her as she moved forward, Lin Xiaofei wondered if Gu Yan had already arrived where Qu Xing Xu was and gave the letter to him.

One might be curious and think that she was crazy to go out alone and didn\'t tell her husband about it, but Lin Xiaofei knew that if Qu Xing Xu knew that she was going to the borders of the Rei Empire before going to the Chu Empire, he would absolutely stop her.

The Rei Empire was the closest to the Chu Empire, and it was located in the Eastern part of the continent. It was the largest empire and the most troublesome one among the four kingdoms because of the tyrant ruling the land.

And that \'person\' was precisely why she needed to go to the borders of the Rei Empire before going to the Chu Empire.

It was to meet that \'person.\'
