However, he also wondered why Lin Sun had just behaved like that. Was it a ruse of feigning self - injury?
Just as this thought crossed his mind, Lin Sun had already voluntarily provided the answer.
"Grandma did so many wrong things before and harmed so many innocent women. I don't want her to keep making mistakes."
Lan Xi found these words laughable and didn't believe a single one.
"Do you think what you're doing now will arouse our sympathy? Or do you think this can offset all you've done before?"
Lin Sun shook her head, wearing a bitter smile on her face.
"Actually, Grandma once hurt me too. If it were up to me, I'd really like to get even with her. But no matter what, she did a lot for me back then. I'm not an ungrateful person. I can only try not to hate her and help her make up for the crimes she committed."
Hearing this, Shi Muwǎn, standing beside her brother, was suddenly touched.
She truly felt that Lin Sun really wanted to save her just now.
Alas, she couldn't forget what had happened before.
She wasn't some naive girl. So many people in the capital city of Changjing died because of them, and some officials were also greatly injured. Unless Lin Sun spent her whole life making amends and asking for forgiveness from the victims and their families.
Thinking of this, she just said it out.
Lin Sun didn't object at all: "I'm willing. After hearing Grandma's words, I think the Lin family was wrong from the very beginning. Now, I want to compensate those common people. I know what you're going to do in the Western Regions, but the king of the Western Regions must have set traps already. I know another good place where you can find a large amount of Hundred - Poison Herbs."
Her words raised doubts among everyone. Several people gathered together and started whispering about whether they should believe her.
Just as they were discussing, Cui Qizhou, who had been silent all the time, suddenly had a different opinion.
"Then let Miss Lin lead us there."
Several people turned around in surprise. Even Shi Muwǎn couldn't help but look at him this time.
"Your Honor the National Teacher should think twice before you act. Do you know what you're saying?"
"Of course I do. If you all trust me, just follow Miss Lin's advice."
Shi Muwǎn raised her eyebrows slightly: "What reason does the National Teacher think we should trust Miss Lin for?"
"Don't worry, everyone. We'll surely gain something from this trip. Doesn't the Empress Dowager also have this idea?"
Her thoughts being exposed, Shi Muwǎn pouted and was initially reluctant to admit it.
"I never thought so. I just wanted to give Miss Lin a chance. I didn't say I had the same idea as the National Teacher and blindly trusted her right away."
As she said this, thinking of something, she suddenly smiled: "Yes, the National Teacher always seems to trust people so easily. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so unguarded against outsiders. Am I right?"
From these simple words, the man knew she was referring to what happened last night. He felt a bit of a headache.
Wasn't the matter from last night already resolved? Why couldn't she just let it go?
The man was full of black lines but had no way to deal with this woman.
"The Empress Dowager is right to teach me a lesson. But I think it's worth taking a gamble on this. There must be major actions on the Western Regions' side. It's not very safe for us to go there."
Well, he had said all the good and bad things. They seemed to be the bad guys instead.
Shi An certainly also noticed this. His expression turned cold: "The National Teacher agreed so quickly. It seems he's forgotten the time when he almost never woke up and also forgotten that the common people in Changjing are the most innocent victims. What right do you think you have to make this decision?"
After this speech, everyone fell silent. Yes, what right did they have to make decisions on behalf of those common people? They weren't the ones who suffered.
Lin Sun watched from the side and sighed: "As a show of my sincerity, I'm willing to tell you the king of the Western Regions' plan, even if you haven't decided whether to trust me yet."
After saying that, she started to talk on her own, and the people beside her were shocked again. They never expected that, unknowingly, the king of the Western Regions had extended his reach so far. If it weren't for Lin Sun's change this time, they didn't know when they would have noticed.
Shi An even had the thought of secretly assassinating the king of the Western Regions.
"Is what you said true? The king of the Western Regions has arranged Gu worms at the border? And most of the people have been infected?"
"That's right. If the eldest young master doesn't believe me, I can go and confirm. I know how to control those Gu worms."
Shi An's face darkened: "How can the Gu poison be removed? Since you can control them, you must know the method, right?"
Lin Sun nodded gently and replied, "You can control me and keep an eye on me until you choose to trust me."
I have to say that her humble appearance did touch everyone a bit.
The divine doctor Sanqi also rushed over at this time. He heard the news and thought someone was injured. When he came over, he saw a very harmonious scene.
Sanqi almost thought he was having presbyopia. But then, he heard a few words that excited him.
"There's what you need in the Hundred Flowers Valley. The Hundred - Poison Herbs aren't only in the Western Regions."
Sanqi didn't even care about what the people in front of him had done before. He quickly squeezed through.
"The Hundred Flowers Valley? How do you know about that place? Do you know how to get in? Wasn't the legend of the Hundred Flowers Valley just a legend before?"
Bombarded with a series of questions from him, Lin Sun felt a bit dizzy: "The place really exists. The Hundred Flowers Valley was actually left to me by my master. Few people know about that place. If you want to go, I can lead you there right now."
With her eager look in her eyes, it was hard for others to refuse, especially since that place had what they were looking for.
However, Cui Qizhou still pretended to be solemn on the surface: "Then Miss Lin, please wait for us to discuss it first. After all, this matter can't be decided by just one of us."
Lin Sun could understand and voluntarily went to take care of her grandma.
The so - called discussion among the people was actually just asking Sanqi for specific information.
"The divine doctor seems to know this place. Do you know much about it? Is the Hundred - Poison Herb really there?"
Sanqi stroked his beard and smiled mysteriously.
"Sure enough, you still have to rely on me at critical moments. You guys are no good."
"Divine doctor, stop beating around the bush and tell us quickly."
"Alright, alright. I really can't hold out against you guys. Actually, inside the Hundred Flowers Valley, it's not all flowers as the name suggests, but all kinds of medicinal herbs. For us doctors, it's a paradise."
