Just as Lin Tingwan said, Lin Yuehong pulled an easily influenced and timid official to a corner of the yard.

Sure enough, when the young official saw that the person coming was Lin Yuehong, he hesitated for a while and then told everything.

What he said was very obscure, but Lin Yuehong was not a stupid man, so he quickly realized what he meant.

When Lin Yuehong first learned about everything, he was a little shocked. If it were him, he would definitely not speak for these people. It was all their own fault.

But Lin Yuehong didn't expect that Lin Mingqian would actually speak for these people, and even these people would come to express their gratitude with gifts afterwards.

He never thought they would be so bold.

But in front of others, Lin Yuehong always appears calm and composed.

After the man left, Lin Yuehong turned around with a serious expression and walked away. He walked quickly towards Lin Tingwan's yard.

Lin Tingwan guessed that Lin Yuehong would come, and was sitting in the house waiting quietly. When she saw him, she looked calm.

"Are you here?" Lin Tingwan looked at Lin Yuehong with a smile.

The latter nodded, reached out to pick up the bowl on the table and drank a few big mouthfuls of the thick soup.

"Yangyang is still very good at predicting things. Did you guess that I would come here?"

Lin Tingwan smiled and nodded but said nothing.

……

Royal study room.

His Majesty looked at the envelope in his hand and fell into deep thought for a moment.

Why these people would go to the General's Mansion to look for General Lin was a bit puzzling.

These people were not on the list Pei Yanli gave him, but they seemed a little strange when they appeared.

Your Majesty knows deep down that this matter has nothing to do with Lin Mingqian, and Your Majesty has always known what kind of person Lin Mingqian is.

Just as he had always known what kind of person Pei Jinan was, it was absolutely impossible for these two people to commit corruption.

If it wasn't Lin Mingqian who had a problem, then it was...

His Majesty's eyes flashed, and he asked Eunuch Sun to call Pei Yanli over.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Sun quickly withdrew.

Pei Yanli had caught a cold these past two days and was feeling unwell, staggering when he walked. Upon learning that His Majesty had summoned him, Pei Yanli forced himself to follow Eunuch Sun to the imperial study.

"Your son pays homage to His Majesty, Father." After saying this, Pei Yanli knelt straight down and saluted.

His Majesty did not speak for a long time, nor did he let him get up.

Soon Pei Yanli began to stagger because of dizziness. Just when he was about to fall down, Eunuch Sun cried out "Ouch" and woke Pei Yanli up.

It was this voice that reminded His Majesty.

His Majesty then slowly spoke, "Get up." After saying this, he looked at Pei Yanli with a faint smile and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were not feeling well? What would I do if you fainted in this imperial study today?"

Pei Yanli looked a little pale, he smiled but said nothing.

His Majesty spoke thoughtfully, "My son has caught a cold now. How can Miss Lin, your future Crown Princess, not come?"

He waved his hand and said, "Pass on my order to summon Miss Lin to the palace to take care of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Pei Yanli was frightened by His Majesty's swift and decisive manner. He hurriedly said, "Father, please send your attendants away."

His Majesty looked at Pei Yanli with a smile, but finally nodded and waved his hand.

Eunuch Sun was a man who knew how to read people's expressions, so he quickly said, "Everyone, go out." After saying that, he also retreated.

After everyone left, Pei Yanli spoke slowly in a slightly hoarse voice, "Father, you said a long time ago that you were going to let me break off the engagement with Miss Lin, and now you're letting her into the palace to take care of me. What should I do if the engagement is broken off in the future?"

His Majesty looked at Pei Yanli with a half-smile and said slowly, "Isn't this exactly what you want? If you can't cancel the engagement, then doesn't that mean you will definitely be the Crown Princess?"

But Pei Yanli didn't want this. In his heart, Lin Tingwan was different from others. He didn't want to force her to marry him, even though this was his dream.

But he didn't want to leave Lin Tingwan with no way out.

Even though he had walked the road to the throne once, he still found it extremely difficult. Pei Yanli didn't want Lin Tingwan to take any risk, even if she didn't love him at all and didn't want to marry him.

But His Majesty does not think so now. He wants to see what Lin Mingqian's attitude is. After all, it is said that he loves his daughter the most. If he can get his daughter into the palace, he might be exposed.

"Father——"

His Majesty waved his hand. After being on the throne for a long time, everyone has a common problem, that is, they can no longer listen to other people's advice. They always want to cover the sky with one hand and dominate alone.

His Majesty was no exception. At this moment, he could not hear anything Pei Yanli said.

"Someone is coming——"

Eunuch Sun came in respectfully with his back bowed. Although His Majesty did not say what he meant, Eunuch Sun understood.

He slowly said, "I will go and invite Miss Lin right away." After that, he hurriedly retreated.

Pei Yanli was a little flustered, but he remained calm. He closed his eyes slightly and said, "Father, it's getting late."

"Nothing, the palace is so big, there must be a place for a woman like her to rest."

Upon hearing this, Pei Yanli lowered his head and said nothing. No one knew what he was thinking.

……

The sky became vast and elegant. As far as the eye could see, the clouds were hanging low overhead, and the setting sun was fading away near the horizon in the distance.

Lin Tingwan quickly changed into her palace dress and got into the carriage with the help of Yuzhu.

He was faced with the flattering smile of Eunuch Sun.

Lian Qiao disappeared at this time. Lin Tingwan guessed that she must have gone to find a way to report the matter to Pei Jinan.

When His Majesty summons people to the palace, how could anyone dare to disobey His Majesty's order? The same was true for Lin Tingwan. Although Lin Mingqian was worried, he did not dare to disobey His Majesty's order.

Outside the carriage, the driver whipped his horse as fast as the wind. The sound of horse hooves crushed the sound of the evening wind. The carriage moved slowly forward with a clattering sound.

Lin Tingwan was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe in the carriage. The tassels on her waist swayed gently with the swaying of the carriage. The pearls inlaid between the tassels shone with a soft light. Her hair was high and pinned with a flower hairpin made of fine gold thread, which complemented the jade bracelet she was wearing.

Lin Tingwan has a picturesque face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and a slightly parted cherry mouth, revealing a gentle temperament.

Lin Tingwan maintained a calm demeanor as the carriage moved along the dusty street. The window of the carriage was half open, and golden light shone through the gaps on her body. Although the carriage was bumpy, Lin Tingwan's posture remained dignified.

All of this was clearly seen by Eunuch Sun who was standing outside on horseback.

No wonder the prince is obsessed with Miss Lin.
