While Lin Youyi was slowly digesting the heavy news, Mu Zheng spoke again.

"Yesterday your second sister came here, and today concubine Xiao is here too! At this time, you dare to go to the palace gate of the queen mother, you are really brave! If the emperor brother is not sick now, the queen mother doesn't want to make any more troubles. I'm afraid, Concubine Xiao won't be able to retreat so easily!"

Afterwards, Mu Zheng told Lin Youyi what the Empress Dowager said to Concubine Xiao.

Lin Youyi's heart trembled, unexpectedly, Concubine Xiao was involved.

However, in the next moment, Lin Youyi's expression suddenly changed!
"What about my mother? This...impossible!"

Logically speaking, both Xiao Muxue and Concubine Xiao knew they were going to follow Lin Youyi's path.

Then why didn't they know, let Mother Lin be the stepping stone?

Lin Youyi can hide from everyone, but she can't see Mother Lin.

After thinking about it, the only reason Lin Youyi could think of was that the Marquis of Chengyang did not allow them to disturb Mother Lin.

"Little girl, you seem to have used all your clever energy to protect your mother and your brother! Wufu is quite powerful, and no one has disturbed your mother's cleanliness."

"Impossible! If it's just Wufu, if she can stop others, can she also stop Chengyanghou and the old lady? It's Lord Hou! Lord Hou is dedicated to protecting my mother, so she can stay out of the matter."

"Chengyanghou can be regarded as a sensible person!"

"Then... my lord, do I have to wait until Xiao Qinyao is buried before leaving the palace and returning to the mansion? I just don't know... what kind of scene will the Hou Mansion be like at that time!"

"Death is like a lamp going out, the living is more important than the dead! As time goes by, this matter will pass!"

Lin Youyi nodded her head worriedly.

She agrees with Mu Zheng's statement, but there is no guarantee that the people in the Hou Mansion will not turn the grief over Xiao Qinyao's death into resentment towards her and Mother Lin.

You must know that there is an essential difference between being helpless and not saving one's life!

It is precisely because of their helplessness that they feel even more heartbroken!
It is precisely because of Lin Youyi and Lin's mother's unwillingness to save them that they provoke resentment!

She thought that with Xiao Qinyao's death, all grievances and grievances would be written off, and it would be over once and for all!

I didn't realize it, but it was a wave of unrest, and another wave!
Mu Zheng stretched out his hand, gently scraped the tip of Lin Youyi's upturned nose, and said soothingly.

"Little girl, this king arranged you to enter the palace because he didn't want you to worry about things outside. And the reason why this king told you this is just to let you be mentally prepared, so that you won't be in the same place when you leave the palace. You don’t know anything about the changes in the situation outside! With your frowning look, are you accusing me of doing something wrong?”

"I didn't! I just couldn't help being a little worried about my mother. She has a weak temper and can't hide things in her heart. Even with Lord Hou protecting her, there's no guarantee that she won't think wildly when she finds out!"

"In your mother's heart, you and your brother are the most important! As long as you have nothing to do, other people's affairs will always pass!"

"Ok!"

After Lin Youyi obediently responded, she didn't want to continue this topic.

"Speaking of which, I should thank the Empress Dowager for her protection! I just don't know, what can I do for the Empress Dowager to please her?"

"Little girl, you don't need anything else, you just need to practice your handwriting well, even if you have thanked your mother!"

Lin Youyi didn't understand what Mu Zheng meant.

Mu Zheng smiled lightly.

"I went to see the Buddhist scriptures that you copied for your mother, and the words are really... indescribable! Little girl, it will be burned to the gods and Buddhas all over the sky. Are you fooling the gods like this?"

Lin Youyi blushed in annoyance.

"I see!"

No way, she didn't have a famous teacher to teach her since she was a child, so that handwriting is really shameful.

Mu Zheng looked at Lin Youyi displeased, so he stopped teasing her.

"I'm just joking with you! We don't make money by selling paintings and calligraphy, so why do we need such good calligraphy!"

Lin Youyi burst out laughing when she heard Mu Zheng say this.

"It's time for me to practice my handwriting, but seeing Lu Qinglan's small regular script with hairpin flowers, I really envy others!"

"Why do you have to eat so much hard work? Your saying that you can eat enough to support you is the confidence that she can't cultivate in her life!"

Lin Youyi blushed again, and lowered her head even more.

Aside from her joy, she also had the feeling of being caught in a pretense.

What Mu Zheng said was correct, but her confidence was also given by Mu Zheng!

Here, Mu Zheng and Lin Youyi just let go of Lin Mu's affairs.

Over there, Mother Lin was really in trouble.

After Concubine Xiao was warned by the Queen Mother, she did not dare to make mistakes.

However, she heard that the old lady had fallen ill because of this incident, so she couldn't just sit idly by.

So Concubine Xiao came up with an idea out of desperation.

At that time, Xiao Muxue was crying on Concubine Xiao's lap, her eyes were red.

"Mother and concubine, is it true that there is no way to save Eldest Sister? Tomorrow, if there is no other way, Eldest Sister will be buried for the Crown Prince!"

"It's not impossible...just..."

"What method? Mother Concubine, tell me, no matter what method, I am willing to try it!"

"It's still the same sentence, as long as the new wife can be persuaded to come forward, even the empress dowager will not prevent their mother and daughter from meeting."

"Mother and concubine, it's not like we haven't thought about this method! However, my father has issued a strict order that no one is allowed to make things difficult for my wife! Grandma is very angry, but still..."

"Silly girl, it's okay, don't cry yet! You are all in a hurry, and you forgot one person!"

"Who?"

"Your mother!"

"My mother?"

"Your mother fought hard for your father, for the sake of your three brothers and sisters, and for the sake of the entire Marquis Mansion. Your father owed your mother a debt of love all his life! I can't stop her! Besides, I see that the new lady is also soft-tempered, she will help!"

"Okay, concubine mother, I will rush to Dafayun Temple overnight to bring mother into Chengcheng."

"I'll go with you!"

The third prince took Xiao Muxue's hand and looked at her firmly.

"It's best to call your brother together. This matter... Let's do it! Do your best and obey the destiny."

In fact, Concubine Xiao didn't know that the Queen Mother's warning was to let her keep an eye on the Third Prince and Xiao Muxue.

She also didn't want her son and daughter-in-law to go against the queen mother's wishes and insist on standing up for Xiao Qinyao at this juncture!
However, it was related to Chengyanghou Mansion, and the old mother was ill again.

Concubine Xiao also watched Xiao Qinyao grow up, she really couldn't help herself, she obviously had a solution, but she kept her mouth shut.

She hesitated for a moment just now, just because she wanted the third prince and Xiao Muxue not to show up.

It's best to let Xiao Yu'an solve this matter alone!
