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

After living in the palace for so long, Yun Ling rarely had the opportunity to get in such close contact with the princess, not to mention being able to come to the princess's bedroom. She was so happy that she couldn't tell.

"I pay my respects to the princess."

Yun Ling was complacent and knelt down solemnly.

"I can't afford it."

Ye Zhilan replied with only three words with a cold face.

Yun Ling was stunned when she heard this, and looked up at Lu Linchu at a loss.

"Why on earth did mother summon Yun Ling here with such great force?"

Lu Linchu was puzzled and said, "She has been staying in Yurongju in a well-behaved manner recently. She has not provoked Guiyun, nor has she caused any trouble."

"She did something earth-shattering without making any noise. If I don't personally invite her over, won't my son be disappointed again?"

Ye Zhilan glanced at Yun Ling heavily.

"Oh?"

Lu Linchu looked at Yun Ling in disbelief. He really couldn't understand what earth-shattering thing she could do.

Yun Ling pondered for a moment and roughly guessed the reason.

It must be because I helped the palace deal with You Dian in the treasury.

Thinking of this, she boasted with great pride: "Princess, you are too kind. The Crown Prince treats me with love that is as strong as gold. I am afraid that I cannot repay him. Helping with the housework is just a small favor."

As he said this, he glanced at Fu Guiyun arrogantly: "After all, the Crown Prince's Consort is weak by nature and lacks prestige. Someone has to take on the role of the villain. After this incident, no one in the mansion will bend the law for personal gain again."

"Then I really want to thank you for your kindness?"

Ye Zhilan was so angry that he walked straight up to Yun Ling with big strides.

While everyone was still pondering the deeper meaning of the princess' words, a fierce slap had already landed on Yun Ling's face.

"Snapped."

Lu Linchu was startled and asked, "Why did mother do this?"

Ye Zhilan was so angry that she pushed him away and shouted at Yun Ling: "What a fool you are! How dare you interfere in the affairs of my palace? You Dian is a 6th-rank treasurer, and even I treat him with respect. You are just a lowly maid and you beat him up without saying a word. Who gave you the courage to do that?"

Yun Ling was not convinced: "I didn't keep quiet. Everyone in the treasury saw it. You Dian even dared to pass off inferior goods as good ones when sending them to the prince's courtyard. If he is not punished, who knows what he will do in the future."

"Shut up."

Only then did Lu Linchu understand the whole story. He became furious and clenched his fists in hatred.

"What did I do wrong again?"

Yun Ling was extremely sad and aggrieved: "My Lord, I did all this for the palace."

"How dare you say that."

Without waiting for his mother to say anything, Lu Linchu angrily said, "Drag him out and beat him up. Beat him up hard."

"Sir, I really did nothing wrong."

After suffering another heavy blow, Yun Ling was completely desperate.

And this time it was the man who once said he would treat her well for the rest of his life who ordered her to be beaten. Her heart was broken.

Why is everything I do wrong?

This time she was clearly thinking about the palace sincerely, without any selfish motives at all.

Could it be that the princess has been blinded by greed and only has room for Fu Guiyun in her eyes?

With eyes full of sadness, he was dragged out by the palace servants. Without anyone to protect him, the sound of heavy beatings mixed with wailing could be clearly heard in Changchun Palace.

Lu Linchu no longer had any sympathy in his heart. For the first time, he kowtowed to the ground devoutly and pleaded solemnly, "I am guilty. Please take care of yourself, mother, and don't let this matter get you angry."

He had begun to doubt his own judgement.

I don’t know whether Yunling is really stupid or just pretending to be stupid.

You Dian is a palace man. What else could he want from staying in the palace if not for money?

Should he be asked to monitor the palace all the time and cause trouble for it?

She doesn’t even understand such an obvious truth?

Seeing that his mother was still gloomy, Lu Linchu gave the servant a firm order: "After the punishment, take Yunling back to Yurongju and put her under house arrest. From today on, she is not allowed to step out of Yurongju again."

Hearing this, Ye Zhilan's embarrassed expression finally eased a lot, and he just said to Fu Guiyun: "Yun'er, send someone to the treasury to withdraw more money, and go to You Siku's house in person on behalf of your mother. No matter what, you must invite him back."

"Yes."

Fu Guiyun bowed to her respectfully, then led Cheng Kui and Qinglu out of Changchun Palace.

Hearing the crying sounds still coming from behind her, she sighed helplessly.

This Du Jiuniang has really done a lot of harm to people.

He had just left the palace when he suddenly saw Lu Linchu catching up with him.

"Guiyun, I really didn't know about what happened today."

Lu Linchu apologized: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

After a moment of silence, he took the initiative to ask, "I'll go to You Dian's house with you."

"It's just a trivial matter, so there's no need for you to worry about it."

Such a thing of currying favor with others cannot be done by a dignified prince like him. Fu Guiyun smiled calmly and said, "It is my mother who is very angry today. If you have time, please go to Changchun Palace to accompany my mother."

"it is good."

Lu Linchu was about to move, but suddenly turned back and said sincerely: "Thank you for today."

Fu Guiyun smiled lightly, bowed slightly, and left with his people.

After changing into some casual clothes, he sent Cheng Kui to prepare a carriage and some money to rush to You Dian's house immediately.

Although You Dian was Han Mao's adopted son, he was just an insignificant figure among the people in the palace. He relied on the respect he gained from marrying into the Liyang Palace and embezzling some money to buy a small courtyard in Yundu City.

Fu Guiyun knew that he must be willing to stay in the palace, so he rushed to his house in the afternoon.

While the group was still outside the door, they heard intermittent coughing sounds coming from the yard.

"Yusku, the Crown Princess is here to see you."

Cheng Kui took the initiative to step forward and knocked on the door.

Smelling the noise outside, the room suddenly became quiet.

The four guards realized something was wrong and were about to knock on the door, but Fu Guiyun patiently stopped them and only told Cheng Kui to continue knocking.

Not long after, You Dian finally came out and opened the gate.

Seeing the situation at the door, he was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and begged loudly: "I am guilty, even if I am cut into pieces, I am willing to accept the punishment. I beg the Crown Princess to punish me."

Cheng Kui was slightly stunned: "You Siku, the Crown Prince's wife is not here to punish you, she came here to visit on behalf of the Princess and the Crown Prince."

"Yousiku's injury has not healed yet, so don't do this kind of gift."

Fu Guiyun took off the veil and handed it to Qinglu, then hurriedly ordered Cheng Kui to help the person up.

Seeing that You Dian was still panicking, he smiled faintly: "Master Treasurer, do you want us to stand outside and talk?"

You Dian was at a loss for a moment, then reluctantly led the group into the yard.

Fu Guiyun looked around the furnishings in the courtyard. It was ok that the building looked old, but when he walked into the living room, he found that there was not even a decent piece of furniture. It was empty everywhere, which was really puzzling.

It seems that You Dian embezzled some money from the palace, but his family is still penniless. If there is no problem with his lifestyle, then he must have some unspeakable secret.

She was secretly speculating when she suddenly saw a thin woman's figure rushing out from the inner room.
