Realizing that his words would make Gui Yun suspicious, Lu Linchu hurriedly called You Dian in and ordered in a deep voice: "Take the eldest prince to kneel in front of his biological mother's spirit and reflect on his mistakes. No one is allowed to let him out without my permission."

This father and son have always been stubborn. Although every word Lu Qingchen said was true, Fu Guiyun did not stop Lu Linchu this time.

She had already noticed that Lu Linchu's temperament had changed a lot. If Lu Qingchen continued to contradict him at this time, it would probably bring disaster. He must be taught a lesson.

After all, things are different now. His father is not just the dandy prince in the palace, but the king of a country. If the father and son continue to quarrel like this, the only victim may be this little guy.

Pulling Lu Qingyu to her side, she also admonished: "Go down and reflect on yourself."

After Lu Qingchen was taken away by You Dian, Lu Linchu lost interest in staying here anymore after seeing how he made such a fuss.

"Guiyun, you should rest early. I still have court affairs to deal with. I will come to see you later."

He made an evasive remark and left immediately with a gloomy face.

Lu Qingyu was terrified. She grabbed the hem of Fu Guiyun's skirt and kept pulling it, with an extremely anxious look in her eyes.

Knowing that she was worried about her brother, Fu Guiyun comforted her softly, "Brother will be back soon, don't worry."

Lu Qingyu hugged her tightly, looking at the direction his father left, still feeling confused.

Pointing at Cheng Kui, Lu Qingyu kept making gestures secretly to Fu Guiyun.

Fu Guiyun was startled when he saw this. He stared at the little guy blankly and suddenly felt uneasy.

The little girl's meaning was obvious. She wanted to say that her father's current appearance was very similar to eunuchs like Xiao Kuizi.

Carefully recalling the situation when I met Lu Linchu today, this person seemed to have changed a lot in addition to his temperament, other aspects as well.

Moreover, Lu Yan was not the only one who knew about his father-in-law's death. Why did he execute Lu Yan alone and was so anxious?

Are you trying to hide something?

After pondering for a moment, she called Cheng Kui over and whispered, "Send someone to the army to secretly investigate what His Majesty has experienced in the past two years and when did his temperament change so drastically?"

I don't have the impression that he has never been so vicious and cruel before.

This matter was of great importance, so she emphasized: "Remember, no one should notice it."

Cheng Kui heard some things in Liyang City, but he didn't know how to tell the Queen. He thought about it for a long time but didn't dare to speak.

Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Fu Guiyun handed the little one to Shu Yan. After dismissing everyone, he asked, "Xiao Kuizi, why have you become so shy lately?"

Guessing that he was afraid of me because I was so cruel to Lu Linzhi, I said, "If you have something to say, just say it."

Cheng Kui then knelt down and whispered, "I heard that the Liren Gang has thoroughly investigated Lu Jin's body and the remains of the soldiers who delivered the jade seal."

Fu Guiyun frowned and said, "I haven't heard Prince Zhong mention this before."

Cheng Kui hesitated and said, "Because... because His Majesty secretly sent people to kill him."

Fu Guiyun was shocked when he heard this: "So the imperial seal is still in Daning, in the hands of Your Majesty?"

Cheng Kui choked up and responded, "Not only is the imperial seal still in your Majesty's hands, but your Majesty also sent out assassins to massacre the entire Fu family in order to stop the late emperor from submitting to Dayan."

As if struck by a bolt from the blue, Fu Guiyun was completely stunned, staring blankly at Cheng Kui for a long time.

"I would never dare to lie to the Queen. I just want to let her know that Your Majesty has not just become so cruel now. He has always been so vicious and cruel."

Cheng Kui said in fear, "I am not afraid of the Queen being suspicious, I am only afraid that the Queen will be deceived by Your Majesty."

Fu Guiyun closed his eyes and sneered.

At this moment, she finally understood why Lu Linzhi was so abnormal when he returned to Liyang this time. He had completely lost his mind and would rather risk the whole world's condemnation to stop her from going north. It turned out that he was worried about her.

How many things are hidden in this person's heart?

Thinking back to how cruel she had been to him and how she had stabbed him in the chest, her heart ached as if it were pierced by a needle.

She suddenly felt a little regretful. Why didn't she notice Lu Linchu's change earlier? Why didn't she follow Lu Linzhi's advice, causing him to suffer so much harm in vain?

At that time, when she learned that Lu Linchu had sent out his assassins to rescue the Fu clan members, she actually felt it was a bit strange. This man was determined to go to Tuoyue for a piece of stone, even abandoning his wife and children. How could he have mercy on her and her clan members?

"Xiao Kuizi, don't mention these things to anyone again."

She sighed deeply, thinking of Lu Qingchen who was under guard, and then she warned: "Tell You Dian to take good care of the eldest prince and don't let outsiders get close to him."

"Yes."

Cheng Kui responded, wiped his tears and left the palace.

Fu Guiyun leaned on the cold soft pillow, thinking about her past and present life, and thinking about everything Lu Linzhi had done silently for her. She was moved but more sad.

This man almost gave me his life. I am afraid that I will never be able to repay the favor I owe him in this lifetime.

……

After leaving the Queen's bedroom, Lu Linchu went directly to Chu Huaixi's residence in a depressed mood.

Thinking about what happened today, he became more and more angry.

Chu Huaixi had already heard everything that happened today when the emperor welcomed the queen.

Helping him lie down on the couch, Chu Huaixi rubbed his shoulders and carefully comforted him: "The eldest prince has not been with Your Majesty for the past two years, so it is inevitable that he has become a little estranged from Your Majesty. Your Majesty should not be so harsh on the eldest prince. After all, he is still a child."

Lu Linchu sighed: "That evil creature is now very violent and it is really difficult to educate him. I wonder who he learned this bad temper from?"

"Logically speaking, the eldest prince wouldn't be so bold as to contradict your majesty."

Chu Huaixi smiled warmly: "After all, it was the Queen who took care of and taught him. The Queen has always been kind and knowledgeable, and the children she taught will definitely not be bad."

"Guiyun can't teach a child bad things."

Lu Linchu never doubted his queen, but when Chu Huaixi mentioned this, he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Chu Huaixi knew that it would be difficult for His Majesty to question the Queen, so she said tactfully, "I don't have any other thoughts, I just want to share more of Your Majesty's worries. The Queen's family is now very powerful in the court. The uncle of the Zeng family was appointed by the late emperor to guard Dali. The father-in-law and the children of the Fu family have all been entrusted with important tasks by Your Majesty. I am really worried that someone has ulterior motives and is using the eldest prince to sow discord between Your Majesty and the Queen."

These words immediately hit Lu Linchu's pain point.

Zeng Ye was stationed in Jiangzuo. Even if the war on the front line was very tense for his father, he only transferred Lu Yan and Lu Hui to Wengcheng. The intention of this move was very clear. In name, it was to monitor Prince Zhong, but in fact it was to protect Prince Zhong.

Thinking that he was Guiyun's uncle, Lu Linchu got a headache every time he thought of him.
