Chapter 163 Afraid She Would Think Too Much

Chapter 163 Afraid She Would Think Too Much

As the sun sets, Prince Dijin's palace remains as majestic as ever.

Lin Mu came hurriedly, bowed respectfully, and then took a seat.

"Your Majesty summoned me. What do you want me to do?"

Yan Yu sat on the couch by the window, feeling the evening breeze, her hair fluttering in the wind.

"My little sister entered the copper platform and found something strange inside."

"They set up a lot of weird mechanisms."

"Combining her memories from her past life, she said that there might be a secret in the Tongshitai, and it concerns the emperor's brother. Most of the ministers in the Tai are unaware of it. Perhaps this secret is only known by An Pengyi and Xu Mingqian."

"Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. It is time to find out the secrets."

"In theory, with my status as the king, it is not difficult for me to personally explore the Tongshitai. But my little sister said that in her previous life, she learned that the underground secret room inside led to a private area, which is not within the scope of the Tongshitai. Since it is a private residence, the king has no right to intervene without a legitimate reason."

"So my little sister came up with a plan, openly repairing the plank road, secretly crossing Chencang."

After hearing this, Lin Mu had roughly guessed Ning Yunxi's plan, and his brows were resolute and serious.

"It is not easy to divert the attention of the Emperor and Prince Chen by repairing the plank road in the open."

"It is even more difficult to sneak into Chencang secretly and use the excuse of transferring all the people from Tongshitai so that the princess can sneak in and find out the truth."

"Your Majesty summoned me to go and find out the truth about the Emperor, right?"

He has always been smart, and Yan Yu is used to it and is not surprised.

"Ah."

"When Feng Yihe was the concubine of the second branch of the Gao family, she was deeply trusted by the emperor and was secretly given important positions."

"My little sister said that after Ning Fengzhe broke his promise, my brother is likely to use Feng Yihe to confront us."

"You and she grew up together, so it's most appropriate for you to find out the truth."

"As usual, go find her again."

Lin Mu nodded in response, Ming An seemed a little embarrassed.

"Yes."

Yan Yu did not notice his embarrassment, and his face was serious and he looked very heroic.

"Earlier, this prince instructed the Gao family to keep their family and continue to live in the South Courtyard of the Second House."

"You remember that?"

Lin Mu still nodded in response.

"Yes, remember."

Yan Yu flicked her sleeves lightly and then gave instructions.

"then you go."

Lin Mu did not move at all, lowered his eyes respectfully, and pondered for a moment.

Only then did she realize that he was worried, and Yan Yu asked with concern.

"what happened?"

Lin Mu came back to his senses with a start and responded with respect.

"Reporting to the prince, I have already found the girl I knew when I was young. However, due to the engagement, I dare not speak out, let alone have any contact with her."

"Now, by chance, I may be able to marry her. Therefore, I have thought about it. For her sake, perhaps I should keep a proper distance from other women."

"So-called childhood sweethearts, in fact, every time we meet, it's just for the prince to find out the truth, there is no extra friendship."

"We are both in Gao's mansion. I am afraid she will think too much if she sees me."

Yan Yu understood what he meant and smiled in surprise.

"That girl, is she Qiu Bi?"

"That's such a coincidence."

Lin Mu was polite, but Hua Yi was a little shy.

"Yes."

"Make the prince laugh."

"but……"

Having said this, there was a silent sigh.

"She didn't seem to have any intention."

"I didn't take the things from my childhood to heart."

"Before the flower viewing banquet, Mr. Gao took the initiative to refuse the marriage."

"The elders of the Gao family also have this idea."

"But I don't know what she really means."

Yan Yu knew the whole story as soon as he heard it.

"Gao Jing must have misunderstood and complained to the elders at home, insisting that you like my little sister."

"There is no problem with this matter. When the search for relatives is over, and I have some free time, I will come forward in person to help you clear up the misunderstanding."

"As for Feng Yihe, you don't have to worry. Finding out the truth is a matter of public business, and I will explain it all at once."

"Just go ahead."

Lin Mu felt relieved and smiled.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

After leaving Prince Di Jin’s Mansion, Lin Mu went to Gao’s Mansion.

Upon hearing that Lin Mu was visiting, Feng Yihe waited at the side door early, looking forward to seeing him.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of horse hooves. She thought it might be Lin Mu who had arrived, and Feng Yihe smiled sweetly.

"Brother Mu!"

As he was leaving happily, he saw Qiu Bi coming towards him with a horse, and he almost bumped into him.

Feng Yihe stopped in time, put away his smile, and spoke in a serious and polite manner.

"Second Miss is fine."

"Your Highness, the First Lady, why did the Second Lady go through the side door today?"

Hearing the call "Brother Mu", Qiu Bi could guess the identity of the visitor. Her expression fell and she responded seriously.

"I came back from the backyard of the main house. The side door was close, so I went through it."

"Daddy and mommy, are you okay?"

"Really, we don't need to ask the princess to come and see?"

Feng Yihe was polite and asked in confusion.

"What happened to Daddy and Mommy?"

"Why do you want to invite the princess?"

Qiu Bi's mouth corners drooped, and her displeasure was revealed naturally.

"When we were having dinner together the night before yesterday, they were coughing badly. I asked the princess to see them, but they refused."

"You forgot something so important?"

There was an indescribable contempt hidden in Feng Yihe's eyes.

"How can a humble body like me be worthy of asking the princess for a diagnosis?"

"The second lady is really flattering."

When Qiu Bi heard this, she immediately became angry.

"Daddy and mommy are not lowly beings!"

Feng Yihe rolled her eyes inadvertently.

"I'm just being modest. Why do you have to be so serious, Miss?"

Qiu Bi's brows were gloomy and he corrected her sternly.

"Are you being modest?"

"It's clearly contempt."

"If Daddy and Mommy want to be modest, they can call themselves humble. We are the younger generation, how can we make random comments?"

"Will you also use humble words to refer to your father and mother as lowly beings?"

Feng Yihe's eyes were like autumn water, with a hint of smile.

"My father is the Prime Minister of the Imperial Court, and my mother is a noblewoman. It is not my place to claim to be humble, both in terms of emotion and courtesy."

Qiu Bi frowned in dissatisfaction.

"That's it."

"You just look down on your father and mother, and despise your own background."

"They are still ill, and you don't care about them at all. How can you be so unfilial?"

Feng Yihe is gentle and graceful, but Dianjiang is a little unkind.

"I just met them a few days ago. Even my father and mother said to give me time to adapt. Why did the second young lady speak so harshly?"

"Have you forgotten that they are my relatives? What does it have to do with you?"

"You and I both work at the Secret Service."

"The duties of the Secret Office are, first, to manage and liquidate the national treasury; second, to train the children of the noble families, to serve the kings, princes, generals and ministers, and to plan the affairs of the civil officials."

"Anyway, you have no right to ask about my family affairs, right?"

"In the Secret Court, I am the Secret Court's Chief Minister and you are the Secret Court's Attendant. Even if it is my family affairs that involve the Secret Court, there is no reason for you to question me."

Qiu Bi clenched her hands, looking a little annoyed.

"I don't mean to question."

"I just want to advise Lord Feng that people should not forget their roots."

"Father and mother love you so much, how can you be indifferent?"

Feng Yihe looked calm and smiled faintly.

"When did I say I didn't care about them?"

"They never said I was indifferent."

"Excuse me, but Second Miss is meddling in other people's business, isn't she?"

"You are targeting me for no reason. Did you hear that Brother Mu came to see me specially? Are you jealous?"
