Lu Linchu felt that Yun Ling had misunderstood.

How could the emperor have such a good heart?

I'm afraid he's deliberately trying to make fun of himself.

After dismissing the palace doctor, he gently advised: "Yunling, what's so great about the fireworks in the palace? If you like fireworks, after I return to the south, I will buy all the fireworks in Liyang City for you to set off for a month, okay?"

"How can that be? Whether it looks good or not is up to His Majesty."

Yun Ling pulled him and kept acting coquettishly: "Lin Chu, when I was still in Liyang City, I heard everyone say how much His Majesty thought highly of the prince. It just so happens that I also want to go and see how good His Majesty is this time. Maybe His Majesty will be happy, then..."

Having said this, she suddenly stopped.

Seeing her being so mysterious, Lu Linchu raised his eyebrows unconsciously: "What will happen then?"

"nothing."

Yun Ling smiled and said, "Anyway, I must make you proud this time. I must let the people in Xuancheng know that the woman of Prince Liyang is not someone they can offend casually."

"Nonsense."

Lu Linchu was not afraid to take her out with him.

But now she is unknown and without any status, and going to a place like Huajiangchi would only bring humiliation upon herself.

Moreover, if she behaved improperly in front of the emperor, he would not be able to protect her even if he wanted to.

"You should take Qingchen and Qingyu and stay in Yurongju for the next few days."

After giving these instructions, he felt uncomfortable thinking about the fact that he still owed the Crown Prince's Concubine 30,000 taels of silver.

He immediately called Tingxu and ordered him: "Take your men back to Muxiangzhai and pawn the antiques and calligraphy and paintings I bought earlier. Remember, do not touch anything else without permission."

After a pause, he continued, "If it's not enough, take a look at what valuables there are in Yurongju and pawn them first."

"Linchu, what are you going to do?"

Yun Ling was so scared that her face turned pale.

"Of course I paid back the money I owed."

Lu Linchu told her that Fu Guiyun used the dowry to fill in the silver. When Yun Ling heard it, she immediately became angry and embarrassed.

"She is really good at pretending. How could such a huge Liyang Palace be short of 30,000 taels of silver? And she has to use her dowry to fill the gap?"

Yun Ling angrily cursed: "She is such a scheming and shameless bitch."

"Shut up."

Lu Linchu scolded angrily.

Although the matter in Xuancheng was done with the intention of angering the emperor, it was ultimately just a momentary impulse to make Yun Ling happy. Thinking about it now, it is indeed a bit absurd.

If you owe that person from the Fu family a favor, you must repay it.

"Yunling, we are just a little short of money temporarily. I will replenish the things in the courtyard after the situation gets better."

Seeing that she started to cry again, and was crying like a pear blossom in the rain, Lu Linchu quickly comforted her: "Mother has not been in good health recently, so please stop making trouble."

"I'm making trouble? Lu Linchu, are you being reasonable or not?"

Yun Ling kept sobbing, her heart almost bursting with anger: "I only celebrate my birthday once a year, what's wrong with spending some money? Since the Fu family wants to be the prince's consort, what's wrong with her spending some money on you?"

"I don't want to owe her anything."

Staring at her quietly, Lu Linchu's tone was extremely firm.

After a moment of silence, he softened his voice and said patiently, "Yun Ling, I promised you that I would treat you well in this life. Didn't you also say that even if I had nothing, you would still follow me wholeheartedly? Have you forgotten all that?"

Yun Ling listened and was speechless.

"Promise me that you will endure this for a while for my sake. When we return to Liyang City, I will definitely make you glorious again."

Lu Linchu knew clearly that although Yun Ling did not like to dress seductively and charmingly on weekdays, and did not follow him for status, she was always very particular about what she wore and used.

He didn't think it was a big deal in the past because he was well-off, but now he still owed money to someone, so naturally he had to convince her first.

Seeing that Yun Ling just buried her head and stopped crying, he quickly ordered Tingxu and others to clean up the valuables in the yard.

Yun Ling watched quietly for a while, until she found that Fang Yi, Tan Qiu and the others had even searched out her treasured brocade and jewelry, and she could no longer hold back.

"Lu Linchu, you bastard, you took all these away. What do I eat and wear? Do you still expect the prince and princess to sympathize with me? They only have the princess in their hearts."

Yun Ling cursed furiously, but still not satisfied, so she started scratching and clawing at him: "You keep saying that I'm your salvation, a gift from God, but is this how you repay God's gift to you?"

Lu Linchu endured the pain all over his body and closed his eyes silently.

There was never a single word of response.

Yun Ling was not relenting and continued to curse: "Lu Linchu, you are a hypocrite, a cheap man, you are the same kind of people as those playboys in the brothels and art galleries, you say one thing and mean another, you say you don't like her, but you always protect her and stand by her, you say you want to stay with me forever, but you can't even use your own money, and you have wronged me."

Lu Linchu's face darkened and he became more and more angry the more he listened.

For the sake of this woman, he fought against the secular world of his family, against his father and mother, and even strengthened his determination to fight to the end.

But she didn't understand her own painstaking efforts at all.

Is she really the Jiu Niang that I once knew?

He became more and more suspicious.

"You are simply... unreasonable."

After saying a few words coldly, Lu Linchu put on his coat, took his outer robe, and led Tingxu and others out the door.

In the evening, the golden glow of the sky sprinkled on every corner of Chuxian Palace.

After being busy for half a day, Fu Guiyun sat idly in the small courtyard inside the palace, sipping the first tea of ​​spring while admiring Ji Chun's newly practiced dance.

Qinglu and Cuiluo took out a few Tuonan pearls and sat aside, carefully using them to decorate the new jewelry that had been sent from the treasury for her.

Nianmao knelt lazily at her feet, licking her hanging skirt from time to time. However, his owner's eyes had long been bewitched by the woman dancing with a sword in the yard. The little Nianmao had no choice but to hang his head and crawl on her furry phoenix-toe shoes to take a nap.

Fu Guiyun was immersed in the wonderful sight, unable to extricate himself, when Nanny Tong walked in quietly.

"Princess, the prince is here."

There was some joy in her eyes as she reported happily.

Fu Guiyun was ready to stand up out of habit, but when he looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him, his thoughts suddenly changed, and he replied calmly, "You're welcome."

Nanny Tong was stunned: "?"

Shouldn't you welcome her in person?

Seeing that she was still staring at Ji Chun in the courtyard, Nanny Tong leaned down helplessly to remind her: "Princess, the son-in-law finally came here..."

"That is why we should invite the prince in and entertain him."

The emperor's spring banquet obviously had a hidden secret. Fu Guiyun had to make some plans for the palace, so he naturally couldn't let the prince miss the beautiful scenery, so he pretended to be absent-minded and explained.

Nanny Tong had no choice but to go out and welcome the prince in.

I couldn't say it out loud, but I couldn't stop cursing in my heart: I don't know what I'm relying on for anything. I don't even know how to cherish such a good opportunity.

I was counting on the opportunity to serve the prince.

He hurried out the door, and Nanny Tong helped to explain enthusiastically: "The Crown Prince's Consort is feeling unwell and cannot go out. Please come in and talk to her, Master."

Lu Linchu's eyes darkened and he secretly clenched his fists.

But thinking that she had helped him out this time, he didn't care about it anymore and walked quickly inside with the servant.

As soon as I entered Langfang, a graceful figure came into view.
