After remarrying with my mother, I walked across the capital by hugging my thigh

"Grandmother is seriously ill and has been in a coma for a long time, and Wufu is busy with other things. I'm really afraid that I can't handle it alone. I just don't know, the imperial doctor has no purpose to stay outside the palace. Can the palace explain it?"

"I've said it all, you don't need to worry about other things. Be good, don't worry, it's not just Rongcheng, this king will stay with you tonight, and I won't let you carry it alone."

"This...isn't it good, my lord?"

"What's wrong?"

"You are Prince Rui, who is under one person and above ten thousand people, and you have condescended to live in the house of the criminals. If the Queen Mother finds out about this, you will definitely write another mark on my head."

"Are you still afraid of this?"

"Of course!"

[Which daughter-in-law have you ever met who is not afraid of her mother-in-law? 】

Lin Youyi only muttered in her heart, but didn't say it out loud.

"Little girl, you are afraid of the sky, the earth, the emperor brother and the queen mother, but you are not afraid of me alone, are you?"

"If you support me, my lord, I'm not afraid of anyone! But... there will always be times when you can't hold on, my lord, right? My lord, you should go back first."

Lin Youyi smiled and tilted her head to look at Mu Zheng.

Mu Zheng also knew that if he stayed in the Zhang residence, it would really be inappropriate to spread the word.

He had no scruples, but under the rumors, it must be Lin Youyi who was hurt.

What's more, since Zhang Shilang was implicated by his daughter, he was convicted and sent to prison, and he is about to be exiled.

In the entire Zhang mansion, all birds and beasts scattered, walking and fleeing.

Mu Zheng only needs to send people to surround the entire Zhang Mansion to ensure Lin Youyi's safety.

This, he needn't worry.

After thinking clearly, Mu Zheng reluctantly nodded his head.

"Okay, then I will go back first, and I won't cause trouble for you if I don't stay here!"

"My lord, I didn't mean that!"

Lin Youyi stretched out her hand delicately, hooked Mu Zheng's sleeve, and shook it gently.

Mu Zheng could not help but change the subject of the conversation.

"Little girl, aren't you going to send me back?"

"Then... my lord, are you going to send me back again? Repeatedly, tonight, we will be busier than the patrol battalion!"

"Why not?"

"No, it's just that, what's the fun of walking back and forth on the same road?"

"How's that for fun?"

"Traveling all over the mountains, south and north, and all over the great rivers, that's interesting!"

"Little girl, ambition is not small!"

"What kind of ambition is this?"

"You don't know? The ancestors have taught that the princes in the capital, and those who have no emperor's order, are not allowed to leave the capital without authorization. Otherwise, they will be punished for treason! Only the emperor will go south and north once every three years to inspect the people's conditions. do you understand?"

Lin Youyi nodded in a daze, but shook her head tightly.

"I didn't... I didn't mean that!"

"This king knows, you little girl, you just say what you say, and you are so bold!"

"Then I'll just be careful what I say in the future!"

"Impossible! This is the second time I've heard you say that!"

"How can I have!"

Lin Youyi pouted unconvinced.

However, the next moment, she turned her head and found something was wrong.

"That's not right, my lord, I'm not a royal relative, the ancestral precepts you mentioned don't concern me! Where I want to go, I don't have to ask the emperor for orders, do I?"

"The ancestor's precepts really don't control you, but they can control this king!"

Lin Youyi was taken aback, but she quickly came to her senses.

She blushed instantly, and lowered her head tightly.

"What does your business have to do with me?!"

"Little girl, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly, please say it again!"

"No! The little girl didn't say anything! The little girl sent the prince off respectfully."

Mu Zheng didn't tease Lin Youyi anymore, and after telling her to stop, he left the Zhang residence.

After getting into the carriage, the doubts in Mu Zheng's heart became more and more intense.

However, as to the truth, we still have to wait for the results of Wufu's investigation to come out.

Xing'er hurried to Zhang's mansion to take care of Lin Youyi, seeing her sitting at the table in a daze, she thought she was worried about her grandmother's condition.

"Miss, the imperial doctor is here, so don't be so worried anymore. The old lady is auspicious, she will be fine."

"Yes, nothing more cruel will happen!"

The son who had worked so hard to raise him did not hesitate to kill his mother in order to protect himself.

Rongcheng has given an ultimatum, and the old lady only has one year to live.

Lin Youyi really couldn't think of what more tragic things could happen in the last year of the old lady's life?
Seeing that Lin Youyi was always frowning, Xinger couldn't think of a better way, so she could only say something casually, trying to distract Lin Youyi's attention.

"Miss, servant girl heard that our wife is already preparing a dowry for Second Miss."

"So fast? Are you in a hurry to prepare the dowry even before the edict of blessing has been issued?"

"Yes, it's a matter of course, so it's better to prepare early."

Lin Youyi gradually became suspicious.

Although, what Xing'er said is not unreasonable.

However, Lin Youyi had an inexplicable feeling that the old lady and the Marquis of Chengyang seemed a little too eager to marry Xiao Muxue.

why?
Just like what Xing'er said, since it's a certainty, why bother to marry Xiao Muxue?
Or... is there any ulterior reason for this?

Lin Youyi's principle has always been, if people don't offend me, I won't offend others.

Especially the people of the Chengyang Hou Mansion, even if they have a deep hatred with her like Xiao Yu'an, Lin Youyi is willing to turn their hostility into friendship.

What's more, Xiao Muxue's delicate daughter?
In fact, Lin Youyi also thought that for her, the moment when Xiao Muxue was most likely to become a disaster would be in the future, not right now.

It will be a matter of time before the prince loses power and faces imprisonment.

Mu Zheng already had enough evidence in his hands to overthrow the crown prince.

There is no doubt about this!

As for why Mu Zheng never attacked the prince, it must be because of his considerations.

Lin Youyi also thought that the biggest obstacle must be related to the massacre of Qi Yun's family.

Mu Zheng was probably waiting, waiting for a chance to completely uproot the prince and return the Qi family to a clean slate.

You know, the tragedy of the Qi family back then was settled by the imperial decree issued by the first emperor himself.

Nowadays, Mu Zheng wants to overturn the previous emperor's verdict, how can it be so easy!

Speaking of the prince, once he falls, it is logical that it will be the turn of the second prince.

However, the second prince, a sinister and vicious thing, is even worse than the prince!

If he is established as the crown prince, even Mu Zheng will feel a headache!

In this way, only the third prince is left.
