Silently glancing at the kneeling Jin'er, Fu Guiyun said in a cold voice: "Jin'er is the most loyal. I am very touched. I will do my best to help His Majesty share his worries in the future."

Jin Er was so frightened that she immediately fell to the ground, but thinking of Prince Li's instructions, she deliberately begged for mercy: "Please forgive me, Queen. I didn't mean to betray you. I was just worried that the Queen was being used by others."

Fu Guiyun laughed secretly in his heart. If he hadn't been hoping that she would betray him, she wouldn't have had this opportunity.

What she wanted was to take advantage of the situation and make Lu Linchu suspicious of her, which would also make him hate Prince Li even more and try to take action against Prince Li as soon as possible.

As Fu Guiyun expected, Lu Linchu watched silently from the side. Although he didn't say anything, he was really angry when he thought of the ambiguous words in Lu Linfeng's letter.

However, Gui Yun had already sent people to stop the assassins. It was obvious that she did not want to collude with Prince Li. He was deeply moved by this and did not feel any jealousy towards his queen. He only hated Lu Linfeng.

Fu Guiyun was not aware that Lu Linzhi had helped her resolve the emperor's suspicion this time, and she did not know that those horse bandits were arranged by Lu Linzhi.

She only knew that not only was Lu Linchu more suspicious of Prince Li, but Chu Huaixi also had the seeds of hatred planted in his heart.

It would certainly be much easier if she were to instigate Lu Linchu to make up his mind to attack King Li.

After thinking for a while, she said, "I don't know why Prince Li suddenly sent a letter to assassinate Lord Chu's family, but I did hope that Concubine Chun's family could return to Daning as soon as possible, so I informed Fu Yan in advance. I didn't expect that they would still encounter an accident."

Hearing this, Chu Huaixi suddenly fell into hesitation.

If the queen wanted to harm her family, she could have used Prince Li's help to get rid of her father, brother and her own family, and then complain to the emperor. There was no need for her to help him intercept the assassin.

It seems that the queen is afraid of her and does not want to be her enemy.

She pondered silently in her heart and began to doubt Prince Li's motives for the assassination.

The death of the Chu family was their own fault. Lu Linchu no longer wanted to dwell on the matter. After ordering people to send Chu Huaixi back, he accompanied the queen back to the palace.

Thinking of Jin'er, he kept comforting her on the way.

"Your Majesty, please stop having these random thoughts. Jin'er has been with her mother for many years, so she will naturally be thinking about her mother and Your Majesty."

Glancing at Jin'er who was following cautiously behind him, Fu Guiyun deliberately spoke well of her: "It is because of Jin'er's loyalty that Your Majesty and I feel at ease."

Lu Linchu thought that this was indeed true. If Jin'er had not handed him the secret letter in advance, he would have really suspected that his queen was related to the assassination of the Chu family.

"Jin'er, you must serve the queen well from now on."

He looked at Jin'er with relief, thinking that he had asked her to stay with the Queen, so the Queen would not be able to harm her secretly, and Jin'er could still monitor the Queen for him.

Fu Guiyun and Jin'er smiled at each other, thinking of Lu Qingchen's matter, and took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, Chen'er has reflected on himself these days, and he has realized his mistakes. Why not let him out? I will definitely teach him well."

Lu Linchu felt more or less sorry for the Queen in this incident, but she was still concerned about her unfilial son, so she immediately agreed to her request.

"Guiyun, don't blame yourself for Chen'er's matter. I don't mean to blame you."

Thinking of Fu Ping leading the officials to kneel in front of the Yangxin Palace for several days, he consoled him again: "The father-in-law is old and confused, and was instigated by those corrupt scholars with ulterior motives. But don't worry, I will not vent my anger on him again."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Fu Guiyun responded calmly, but when he thought about the great injustice his father had suffered this time, he couldn't help feeling sad.

Even though he had been cold to her in the past, he was now willing to risk his life to fight against the emperor in order to secure her position. This kindness still touched her.

She would never let her father suffer in vain this time.

Looking at Lu Linchu, Fu Guiyun smiled faintly: "Noble Concubine Chun has just suffered a serious injury. She must be feeling very uncomfortable right now. Your Majesty should spend more time with her."

Lu Linchu closed his eyes. She was always so sensible that it made people feel cold. Every time she wanted to push him into someone else's arms, she finally made him lose interest in accompanying her back to the palace. He sighed and replied, "Okay, you should rest well when you go back."

Fu Guiyun brought Jin'er back to the palace. Jin'er immediately knelt down in front of her in fear and trepidation: "Please calm down, Queen."

"What are you doing?"

Fu Guiyun hurriedly asked someone to help her up: "Jin'er, do you think that what I said in the palace just now was for His Majesty to hear? I have long known that you have a crush on Prince Li, and I also respect Prince Li."

Jin'er also felt it was a bit strange that she didn't punish herself today. His Majesty doted on her so much, it would have been easy for her to take her own life, but she didn't.

I guess the Queen already knew that she was Prince Li's person.

Fu Guiyun continued, "I have never met a man as loyal and affectionate as Prince Li in my life. He always puts me in my shoes and is willing to risk his own life to help me get rid of my most trusted enemy. How can I bear to hurt the people around him?"

Jin Er nodded in agreement, but asked, "Then why did the Queen stop the assassins sent by Prince Li?"

"You are stupid."

Fu Guiyun explained seriously: "Why does the Chu family need to intervene in what they did on the road? They have already dug their own graves. It is unnecessary for the king to do this. If Concubine Chun finds out, it will be very disadvantageous to the king."

With just a few words, Jin Er was completely coaxed into turning around: "This servant is willing to serve the Queen."

"You serve the Prince of Li and you serve me."

Fu Guiyun immediately wrote a letter and handed it to her: "Tell Prince Li that I am willing to join forces with him, so that he can plan big things with peace of mind."

Jin'er stood up with tears of gratitude, hid the letter, and then retreated with peace of mind.

After Jin'er left, Fu Guiyun called You Dian and said, "Keep an eye on Jin'er. When she sends a message to Jiurong City, take her down."

You Dian looked uneasy: "Queen, I'm afraid His Majesty will be suspicious of you if this happens."

"It doesn't matter."

Fu Guiyun smiled and waved his hand: "I only expressed my gratitude to King Li in the letter."

Based on these contents, Lu Linchu will indeed be suspicious of himself, but it will also strengthen his determination to get rid of King Li. At the same time, it will also make King Li feel guilty and make up his mind to fight Lu Linchu to the end.

This matter was really too strange. She had vaguely guessed that Lu Linzhi might be helping her secretly again.

Although he had good intentions, if he could not get Lu Linchu to attack Jiurong City as soon as possible and let him shift his attention to Liyang City again, it would only be greatly disadvantageous to him.

Even if I suffer some injustice, I have to help him win the opportunity to turn danger into safety.

After thinking silently for a moment, she continued to instruct: "Send someone to spread rumors, so that the world knows that the assassination of Concubine Chun in Liyang was arranged by Prince Li."

You Dian frowned: "There is no evidence for this..."

Fu Guiyun smiled and said, "At this juncture, rumors are evidence."

You Dian understood what he meant and left immediately.
