Chapter 125 Laying hidden dangers
Lin Yan pondered for a moment and recalled: "To be honest with you, Your Highness, the last time you saw me in Jinling City, I was actually locked up in that yard. Later, two groups of people fought, and I took the opportunity to escape."
"Oh, did you see it when you were escaping?"
Lin Yan nodded.
Zhao Yuan's eyes became sharp, he clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with doubt and anger. This mysterious organization seemed to be inextricably linked to him, but what was their purpose?
"That courtyard is the prince's property!" Zhao Yuan said to himself.
"No way!"
"Humph, you want to control me while using me." Zhao Yuan said. "Could it be that you saw the person with blue and gold brocade flowers embroidered on his cuffs in the yard?"
"No, after I escaped, I was chased by a group of people. In the moonlight, I happened to see a row of blue and golden brocade flowers embroidered on the cuffs of one of the men in black. They also said it was the prince's order!"
Zhao Yuan's face turned extremely ugly in an instant. Now thinking back on this incident, there were indeed many strange things in it.
"Since you had already escaped, why did you go back?" Zhao Yuan asked curiously.
"It was the man in black with a row of blue gold brocade flowers on his cuffs who said that they couldn't report to the prince if they couldn't find me. It felt like he said it on purpose for me. I wasn't willing to accept that. Who is the prince? Who am I? How could I have deserved such trouble for him? So I returned to that courtyard to find out what was going on." Lin Yan recalled.
"Oh, you have never told me these." Zhao Yuan said seriously.
"Your Highness, you have never asked me either." Lin Yan replied somewhat aggrievedly.
"Hmph, it's my fault." Zhao Yuan frowned, his mind full of thoughts. This time, Jiangnan tax silver was stolen again and again, and his father was already angry. The position of the crown prince in charge of this matter was in jeopardy. Therefore, he used the name of recuperation to confuse the outside spies and quietly left the palace.
He found out a lot of things, and the knife wound on his back was caused by a group of masked men wearing black clothes with a row of blue and gold brocade flowers embroidered on the cuffs. All this made him fall into deep thought.
He couldn't help but wonder if the prince was really involved in this matter. After all, if someone in the prince's palace wanted to successfully send an anonymous letter to Concubine De's palace, it would be easy to do so. But for the prince, doing so would undoubtedly destroy his own future, with no benefits but only harm.
Therefore, the water here is deeper than he thought. The so-called secret door person must have infiltrated the prince's East Palace. First cut off the prince's left and right arms, and then depose the prince. Could it be that the person behind the secret door wants to...
It’s not that easy, Zhao Yuan snorted coldly, Lin Yan is simply his lucky star.

"She actually has the nerve to let me see her. I'd like to see what kind of monster she is. She's really unlucky." Empress Defei said angrily. The letter in her hand was crumpled up as if it had become a dough ball.
"Your Majesty, if you meet her, what if she harms you?" Ke'er, the personal maid of Concubine De, advised cautiously, her tone full of worry.
"Hmph, this old lady of mine has experienced so many ups and downs in this palace and seen so many wronged souls and ghosts. What does a mere woman like her mean to me?" Empress Defei's eyes were sharp and her tone was firm. She didn't seem to care about the other party's identity and background.
Since Concubine De had said so, Ke Er naturally did not dare to say anything more and could only stand aside silently. However, the expression on her face was unpredictable, as if she was hiding some unknown thoughts.
When Zhao Yuan received the news, he couldn't help but admire Lin Yan. He really loved Lin Yan, so he immediately arranged for Lin Yan to enter the palace.
Mu Xueli didn't expect that she was about to die, but Zhao Yuan's thing saved her. It seems that it is true love! It's too dazzling. She just woke up and was not honest. She wanted to go to the palace to see the Empress Defei. I don't know what Lin Yan wants to do this time. No matter what she wants to do, I will never let her succeed. I wrote a letter and asked Xiangxiang to pass it to King Heng when she went out to buy things.
After reading the letter, Prince Heng thought it was just some jealousy between women and did not take it seriously.
"Bitch, she killed her own child, but Zhao Yuan still dotes on her." Chen Qingqing was so angry that her teeth ached. After Zhao Yuan's extensive investigation, he cleared Lin Yan of the suspicion of drugging her pearl milk tea, but Chen Qingqing didn't believe it at all. These were just excuses Zhao Yuan made to save Lin Yan.
Dream House
Mu Xueli pretended to comfort her, "Poor sister Chen...some things are just like that...There's nothing we can do about it. You must take care of yourself. You can still have another child."
Chen Qingqing tried hard to hold back her tears. Although she knew that things were irreversible, the pain in her heart surged up like a tide. And those women were just watching the fun from the sidelines.
Mrs. Xie sighed with regret, her tone was a little regretful, "It's such a pity, but I'm afraid it won't be so easy to have children in the future."
Miao pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Why?"
Xie's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a hint of mockery, "Miao sister, don't you understand this? Haha, only a male and a female can be pregnant together!"
Hearing this, Mu Xueli frowned and rebuked unhappily: "Look how harsh your words are. Don't be so confident. There is no fixed limit to pampering. Do your part well. One day it will be your turn."
Mrs. Xie didn't seem to be affected. Instead, she cast her eyes on Mu Xueli's belly and said with a smile, "Sister Mu, it's no problem. The prince will definitely stay overnight at your place on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. I think Sister Mu looks like she's pregnant."
Mu Xueli's cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head shyly, but she was secretly happy in her heart. She raised her head and said gently to Xie and Miao: "Then I'll borrow your good words. You are still young and have many opportunities. Don't give up! You can learn more from Lin Daiyu's methods." After saying that, a hint of pride flashed in her eyes.
Chen Qingqing looked at Mu Xueli's belly, her heart full of jealousy and resentment. She bit her lip and cursed secretly. It was a bad feeling. Why did her child get killed by Lin the bitch, while Mu Xueli got the benefit? She decided to make Mu Xueli pay the price. Since I don't have a child, you don't need to have one either.
