After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

Fu Guiyun glanced at Lu Linzhi who was gritting his teeth as he was tortured: "With a powerful enemy at hand, we should not sacrifice our own soldiers. Brother, please report to our father quickly. I have something important to tell you."

"Elder Concubine."

Lu Linfeng gave her a look and said, "It's not appropriate for you to interfere in Old Four's affairs now."

Lu Linzhi endured the severe pain all over his body and smiled and advised: "The matter of Changping Marquis's Mansion has nothing to do with the Crown Prince's Concubine. Please send the Crown Prince's Concubine back to the palace."

Lu Linfeng leaned in front of her and lowered his voice: "Princess, the prince has agreed not to escort the fourth son to the capital. You will just have to suffer some physical pain. You can go back first without any worries."

Fu Guiyun knew that Lu Linzhi didn't want to involve herself, but this was her idea. She asked herself that saving Changping Earl's family of four was not out of selfishness. Now she had to protect them no matter what and must not hand them over.

Besides, she didn't want to implicate others because of this matter.

Kneeling down with a gloomy look in her eyes, she loudly reported: "The incident at the Changping Marquis' Mansion was initiated by my daughter-in-law. Please, father, suspend the execution and allow me to explain the reason."

Seeing this, You Dian also knelt down and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, His Majesty has mobilized 550,000 troops to station troops at the border, intending to reduce the power of the vassal states. Please make a decision as soon as possible."

"What, 550,000 troops?"

Lu Linfeng staggered a few steps and nearly fell to the ground. "The enemy is advancing straight in. He just issued an order for the prince to take charge of the entire southern border, and then he ambushed troops on the border. What is he doing? Is Da Kang going to give up his kingdom?"

Lu Chen, who was in the inner room, heard the conversation outside and became confused.

Looking at Ye Zhilan who was unconscious on the bed, he asked Doctor Liu worriedly, "How is the princess?"

"The princess' heart meridians are already severely damaged. She can't stand too much stimulation in the future."

Doctor Liu frowned and said, "I have already given the princess acupuncture. She will wake up after a good sleep."

"The king knows."

Lu Chen waved to him, and after he left, he slowly held Ye Zhilan's hand that was hanging on the bed. Thinking of what she cared about, he couldn't help feeling sour in his heart.

"I know what you mean, but I have to make more plans for the Liyang Palace."

Holding back a tear that was about to fall, Lu Chen said silently: "Yun'er is a kind and wise child. She will definitely find a way to deal with it in the future and will not treat Lin Zhi badly."

Then, he gathered his emotions, got up and walked out.

At this time in Shuhua Garden, Lu Linchu was drinking alone, while Han Nian, Chu Huaixi and Han Youyou stood beside him silently, not daring to say a word.

In the silent room, the door was suddenly pushed open and Ye Qiong rushed in aggressively.

Before everyone could react, Ye Qiong stepped forward, grabbed Han Nian and slapped him hard.

"You bitch."

In front of Lu Linchu, she scolded bitterly: "You are really hypocritical. How dare you lie to me?"

Han Nian was confused, covering her hot cheeks, feeling aggrieved: "What nonsense are you talking about, Miss? What did this servant lie to you about?"

Upon learning that Lu Linzhi was being tortured, Ye Qiong was furious: "I clearly remember saying some things I shouldn't have said in your courtyard when I was drunk that night, but you and the two slaves in your courtyard lied to me and even ran to Xu Jinzhou to tell him about it. Don't you know the benefits and harms of this matter? Do you want to harm the entire Liyang Palace?"

Hearing this, Lu Linchu finally slowly raised his head and looked at Han Nian with cold eyes.

"My Lord, I didn't." Han Nian explained earnestly, "No matter how bad I am, I will never harm the palace."

"You still dare to quibble." Ye Qiong's eyes were stern. "Only a few of you knew about this that day. Apart from you, who has such a vicious heart, is there anyone else who would do such a foolish thing?"

"But I really don't have any."

Han Nian noticed something was wrong and immediately glared at Chu Huaixi and Han You.

Chu Huaixi smiled faintly: "Miss Ye has indeed wronged Aunt Han. I have been staying with her in Shuhua Garden every day and have never even left the house. How could I have met Xu Changshi?"

Hearing this, several people turned their eyes to Han You.

Han You was so scared that she fell to her knees and trembled in denial: "Neither did I."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Tingxu walking in with a servant.

"Sir, this is the man that the eldest son found in the Zuo Changshi's mansion when he was interrogating Chen Dianbu for embezzling military pay. In order to redeem himself, he personally admitted that he saw Miss Hanyou secretly meeting Xu Jinzhou on New Year's Eve."

After Tingxu finished his report, he gave the servant a cold look.

Han You felt a chill in her heart. There was no one around when she went there. She gritted her teeth and argued: "Don't try to slander me. I have never seen Xu Changshi."

The servant did not say anything, but calmly took out a silk handkerchief from his bosom and said, "I dare not deceive the prince, I believe Miss Hanyou should recognize this handkerchief, which I found in the chief secretary's room."

When Han You came back that day, she found that her handkerchief was missing. She thought she had lost it when she crawled through the dog hole, but she didn't expect that it had fallen in Xu Jinzhou's room.

She buried her head in fear and continued to deny: "I did lose a handkerchief, but I don't know why it ended up in Xu Changshi's room."

Han Nian snatched the handkerchief, took a closer look, and immediately said angrily: "If you hadn't been to his place, how could the handkerchief be left in Xu Changshi's room? You still want to quibble now."

Ye Qiong then realized that she had wrongly accused Han Nian, and pointed at Han You and yelled, "You slut, don't you know that Xu Jinzhou is from the imperial court?"

Lu Linchu was very disappointed and didn't want to say much. He just said, "Tingxu, drag him out and beat him to death."

"My Lord, this servant is all for your own good."

Han You was so scared that she started to cry loudly: "Miss Ye said that the Fourth Young Master was bewitched by the Crown Prince's Consort, so he took the risk to interfere in the affairs of the Earl's Mansion. I am worried that the Crown Prince was deceived."

"I...I was just angry." Ye Qiong said with a bitter face: "Cousin, don't listen to her nonsense."

"You are all no good."

Lu Linchu stood up angrily and walked out. Tingxu immediately sent someone in to drag Hanyou out.

"Miss Huaixi." Han You hysterically asked Chu Huaixi for help.

But Chu Huaixi just sighed silently and said nothing.

Han Nian was angry at Ye Qiong's recklessness, but she was only thinking about her man. She glared at Ye Qiong angrily and said, "Miss, you should ask clearly before you blame someone."

After saying this, he chased after Lu Linchu.

Ye Qiong was silent for a moment, then rushed to Changchun Palace.

Tingxu was personally supervising outside Shuhua Garden, and when he had his men beat Hanyou until she was barely alive, Fuxiang and Lixue suddenly rushed over.

Looking at the bloody figure on the wide stool, the two were stunned for a moment before walking forward.

"elder sister."

In the blurred vision, a familiar figure appeared, and Han You called out with her last bit of strength.

Fuxiang stood there silently, while Lixue limped over quickly, angrily pushing away the executioner, and staring at Hanyou with tearful eyes: "Why do you insist on doing what you want? Don't you know what that vicious woman is thinking?"

"It was my fault...

Han You turned her head little by little, trying to look at the quiet and leisurely courtyard in front of her. How she wished that she could become the owner of such a courtyard.
