The Legend Of Beishang
181. Letter from Xia Ling

Next day

Lin Beishang had woken up even before the sun fully rose, Lin Beishang was wearing the official clothes the palace had ordered for him.

It was embroidered with dragons and phoenixes, with hair decorated with hairpins made of gold and jade.

Behind his clothes was Yue Shan who had been unused for a long time, even it might have become rusty.

(Note: It is not really rusty as it is said but it is a parable that Yue Shan has been very long unused by Beishang. )

With a firm and confident pace, Lin Beishang walked towards the throne of the palace and there was already his father who was checking the palace files even at this early time.

"Beishang, are you going to start ?" Emperor Lin Xi asked in a hoarse voice, beside him was Eunuch Luo.

"Yes, I'll start doing it soon. You are no longer young, spend more time in bed. "Shuttle Lin Beishang unhappily.

"Are you worried about Dad ?" Asked Lin Xi nosily.

"Yes, just think of it. I just happened to get a shocking thing last night from Bei Zhao, so let's just say that I'm worried about you. " Say Lin Beishang flatly.

"What do you get to worry about me ?" Asked Lin Xi curiously.

"It." Said Lin Beishang issuing a letter that folded neatly but it appeared that it had been opened, visible from the seal that had been left incomplete as it should have been.

"Letter ? From whom ?" Asked Lin Xi while frowning.

"Would you have read it yourself, the letter has been delayed for over 20 years. So the writing is a bit vague but I believe that you can still read it clearly. " Say Lin Beishang said with complicated emotions.

Lin Beishang handed the letter to Eunuch Luo while Eunuch Luo handed it to Lin Xi, Lin Xi read it seriously before finally sighing.

Lin Xi's face seemed to age by several years and was indecipherable, while Lin Beishang himself sighed as well and sat down on one of the seats with origin.

"I got the letter from Bei Zhao, his mother was Sha Xi, his mother's best friend. Before Sha Xi died, Sha Xi had left this to Bei Zhao. What do you think ?" Lin Beishang asked heavily.

FLASHBACKS

While gazing at Bei Zhao deeply, Bei Zhao suddenly remembered something and took something out of his pocket.

It was a letter that had been worn out but the seal was still excellent not even the slightest disturbance.

How long has this letter been in existence ? Lin Beishang's forehead wrinkled deeply when he saw Bei Zhao handing this to him.

"Open up and read it, before I die, my mother has left this to me for Xia Ling's hidden daughter. So, I asked, 'what if it turns out that I didn't manage to find the daughter that mother meant?', my mother replied, 'then just let the letter become ashes without anyone knowing the contents. ' Answer my mother. I thought hard and looked for everyone then found out that it turned out to be the Mother of the Tang Dynasty Crown Princess. " Bei Zhao said calmly.

"But after that I realized that it was not hidden at all and looked deeper but over time I became forgetful and preoccupied with military affairs. Last night, no matter what wind came my way, I remembered this letter and realized that it was you I had been looking for. " Continue Bei Zhao.

Lin Beishang for a moment was stunned and looked at Bei Zhao with a look of disbelief, how could there be such a strange incongruity in this world ?

It's obviously like it's set by someone but the reality of this is destiny. True destiny is unpredictable and unpredictable.

A person's destiny can even turn 180 degrees overnight as if he were turning his palm.

"If so, then can I open the letter ?" Lin Beishang asked breaking the silence.

"Yes, open the letter. Don't ask me about the contents because I don't know what they are either." Bei Zhao said with a faint smile.

Lin Beishang chuckled and saw that when it opened it was two letters, one was an outer coating while the other was a letter as well that was neatly wrapped, as if it was made for a long period.

It was as if the letter maker had known that the letter would continue to last for more than 20 years.

Lin Beishang opened the outermost letter and read it with a serious look but was actually quite nervous.

Sha Xi '^^^

The letter seemed to be written with deep hatred and Lin Beishang immediately understood that this was a letter from Bei Zhao's mother that was said to be very close to her mother.

Then, Lin Beishang opened the next letter, but before it fully opened, his movements paused for a moment and Lin Beishang took a deep breath as if afraid to open the next letter.

The first letter alone was enough to make him become agitated, not knowing what blow was waiting for him in the next letter.

But, after taking a breath and exhaling slowly to get calm.

Eventually Lin Beishang gained the courage to open the letter from his mother and slowly land unsealed the seal made by his mother.

It was as if he was afraid that if he were just a little rude then the worn-out and fragile letter would be split into a thousand pieces.

'Beishang, this is the name that mother gave you personally, I am not a good mother and cannot choose a good name for you, but this is the only name that comes to my mind.

I want to say that if you read this letter I will be gone, by then no one will be able to take care of you anymore. I want you to take good care of yourself and eat well.

No need to be too ambitious, just take care of yourself both with healthy and adequacy, then mom is very happy.

Mother will say one thing that you have a father and an older sister living in the Tang Dynasty, if you have the chance then please take care of your father.

He is a stubborn person but is actually a good person, remind him to wear a coat, his body is no longer young and will not be able to withstand the cold air.

I love you all.

^^^ - Xia Ling '^^^

As soon as he finished reading this, Lin Beishang immediately put away this letter and cried uncontrollably.

Bei Zhao did not ask and just hugged Lin Beishang affectionately, as if wanting to strengthen the girl.

Lin Beishang continued to cry in pain and was unable to stop in a short time, a letter from his mother had actually hit him.

FLASHBACK END

"You already know, don't you, what's the reason I'm worried about your health ?" Asked Lin Beishang in a soft voice to Lin Xi.

Lin Beishang felt that his breathing became heavy as if he wanted to cry like last night, all this time Lin Beishang had never hated his mother in any case.

Especially when hearing Zhao Ye Shi's story, her mother had fought her best to keep her.

Lin Beishang just felt ashamed that he could not be good enough as his mother wanted him to be, his hands were stained with blood.

Not as expected by her mother, she is an ambitious person and cannot take care of herself.

His heart was struck especially when his mother told him to live well, he naturally wanted to live well but fate said something else.

They both, mother and son are actually equally enduring a lot of suffering and bad luck.

Lin Beishang could not help but understand what his mother felt at that moment, as a fellow person who had suffered a lot, it was impossible for Lin Beishang to not understand.

In this world, there would be no one who better understood his mother's suffering than him even if it was Lin Yue or Lin Xi.

"He... he. "Speak Lin Xi.

"But, even if I end my life today, he will go to Heaven while I will go to Hell, in the end I am still unfit for a real angel like him. " Continue Lin Xi with a dim look and looked extremely sad.

"He doesn't want you to feel sad, so don't feel sad, ............ Daddyh. " She said Lin Beishang subtly and took a pause before finally calling Lin Xi by the name of 'Father'.
