Chapter 223
Late at night, Prince Qi's Mansion.

Cheng Muqing, who was still asleep, suddenly heard the soft sound of getting dressed.

In the eyes of the fire in Xiaobieyuan, the house was almost turned into ruins, so the two returned to Prince Qi's Mansion.

Anyway, the person who wanted to be arrested has already been caught, and there is no need for the two of them to guard the ruins.

Cheng Muqing opened his eyes, touched the mattress beside Yu Wen, "Ah Heng?"

On the other side of the curtain, the young man froze slightly.

"Sleep a little longer." Lin Heng lifted a corner of the curtain and reached out to stroke her forehead.

"What's the matter?" Just after waking up, Cheng Muqing's mind was still a little foggy, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"It's nothing." Lin Heng's eyes dodged, and his tone seemed a little guilty.

Because it was late at night, Cheng Muqing couldn't see his expression clearly.

"Heng." Cheng Muqing sat up, and she casually tied her hair into long braids, and got out of bed.

The babu bed has a lot of space, but the moonlight coming in is very hazy.

"You have a good rest." Lin Heng wanted to push her back on the bed.

"It always feels wrong there. Are you trying to do something behind my back?" Cheng Muqing raised his hand to hold his wrist, leaned forward, pushed him, and pressed him against the railing made of nanmu with carved patterns.

Lin Heng straightened up, breathing stagnantly.

"Say, what on earth are you trying to do behind my back?" Cheng Muqing's almond eyes were bright, staring straight at him.

"It's really nothing...just, I'll report tomorrow morning, someone from the palace." Lin Heng confessed.

"In the palace?" Cheng Muqing frowned slightly, her breathing was a little heavy, and her eyes were puzzled, "It's so late, why are you looking for me?"

"Ask me to enter the palace."

"Why?"

"I don't know." Lin Heng shook his head, "But the flood in the imperial city yesterday... probably has something to do with it."

"You haven't entered an official position, no matter what, I shouldn't be looking for you... unless, unless... it's His Majesty." Cheng Muqing opened his mouth, as if thinking of something, and said, "Ah Heng, said that I was frightened yesterday and my body was weak. , there seems to be a slippery tire...you need to accompany me, you can't go."

Hearing this, Lin Heng nodded to express his understanding.

Lin Heng went out to deal with the eunuch, Cheng Muqing simply put on his cloak and paced around the room.

Now there is no prince, as long as the emperor is gone, the throne will be vacant.

Did Lin Wei hold Emperor Ming of Jin hostage?She touched her chin, a little uneasy.

"咚咚-"

There was a knock on the door.

"Princess, someone is here." Jinxi's voice came from the door.

"A eunuch from the palace? The prince has already gone to receive him." Cheng Muqing opened the door while speaking.

"Princess." Jin Xi first saluted, and then said, "It's the servant of Mr. Xu's house."

"Xu...Xu Jin?" Cheng Muqing was a little surprised, but quickly adjusted his mentality, "Bring him here."

"Yes."

After a while, Lin Heng returned to the room with the slaves of Xu Jin's family.

The wax was lit inside the house, and the orange light shone, casting the shadows of several people on the white wall.

Cheng Muqing made hot water and handed it to Lin Heng.

Lin Heng looked at her, and then at the young servant from the Xu family, looking a little unhappy.

After all, he is a selfish, narrow-minded person.

He didn't want Cheng Muqing to get involved with other men.

"My lord and my concubine are blessed and safe." The servant of the Xu family saluted first.

"What do you want from us?" Cheng Muqing asked.

"It's like this, my lord has just been called into the palace by His Majesty." The Xu family servant licked his lips nervously.

"And then?" Lin Heng asked.

"Ah? Then?" The Xu family boy opened his mouth and said dryly, "No more..."

"He just asked you to come with this sentence?"

"Hmm..." The Xu family servant nodded.

"Besides your lord, are there other people who have been summoned into the palace?" Cheng Muqing said softly.

"Eh... the slave seems to have seen Master Feng's carriage when he was leaving, and Master Zhang..."

"So, many courtiers have been called into the palace?" Cheng Muqing asked.

"Ah." The Xu family servant nodded blankly.

"Okay." Cheng Muqing nodded, and she waved her hand, "Go back, you've worked hard."

"Yes." The Xu family servant got up and bid farewell.

The young servant from the Xu family was sent away by Jinxi, the door opened and closed, and a little cool autumn wind blew in.

"Go back and rest." Lin Heng said.

"No." Cheng Muqing got up and took two steps, "Heng, what should we do?"

"You think Lin Wei is going to rebel, don't you?"

"Yes." Cheng Muqing looked sideways at him.

The lights in the room were brightly lit, shining on the faces of the two, reflecting their serious expressions very clearly.

"Ah Heng, we have neither soldiers nor power."

"There will be." Lin Heng said lightly, "As long as Qi Guo still wants to support me... we will all have it."

Cheng Muqing looked at him quietly, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything to refute.

"Go to sleep." Lin Heng said lightly, "Tomorrow, there will always be a way."

The lights in Jingyuan stayed on all night.

And the East Palace in the imperial city also lit up all night.

The door carved with complicated patterns was pushed open, and Tao Yushan sat on the stool and looked at the person behind her through the mirror.

"Tell the princess to come." The guard standing at the door said coldly.

"You rebels!" Lu Lian, who was standing beside Tao Yushan, looked at them angrily, with anger in her eyes.

"Lulian." Tao Yushan said calmly, "Stay well in the hall."

"Crown Princess..."

Perhaps in order not to worry her, Tao Yushan smiled back.

Because she was in mourning, she only wore a plain white gown, and her hair was simply pulled into a single bun.

She followed the guards to the main palace.

On the road, there was a solemn scene, and crows seemed to fly by in the dark night sky.The moon is covered by clouds, so there is no light at all.

Inside the hall, two rows of lamps were lit, reflecting the hall like daylight.

Tao Yushan entered the hall, looked at the young man not far ahead with his back turned to her, and said nothing.

"Yushan, you're here." Lin Wei turned around and looked at her with tenderness in his eyes.

"Like a king." Tao Yushan said indifferently, "Please respect yourself."

In terms of seniority, she is also his third sister-in-law.

"Self-respect?" Lin Wei sneered, "This world belongs to this king, and I can do whatever I want. Do you still need self-respect?"

During the conversation, there was a heart-piercing cry from outside the hall——

"Child! Give me back my child!"

Tao Yushan recognized that it was Ye Liangdi's voice.

She turned slightly and saw several guards walking in.

The leading guard was holding the child, while the two following behind were holding Ye Liangdi.

"Your Highness." The leading guard handed the child to Lin Wei.

Lin Wei hugged the child, with a smile on his face, "It really looks like the third brother."

"What are you going to do!" Ye Liangdi's eyes widened. She was struggling like crazy, trying to break free from the guards on both sides.

Lin Wei looked at her like a joke, then turned to look at Tao Yushan.

"Yushan, do you want to save this child?"

Tao Yushan had no expression on her face, she looked at him quietly, "What do you want me to do?"

"Be my man." Lin Wei answered without hesitation.
