Hearing this, Lu Li paused while applying medicine to Mu Peiyun, thinking that it was time for him to perform.

Then Lu Li put down the ointment, turned around and bowed to Mu Yunyu, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, it's my elders in my family who are ill and went back to the capital a few days ago."

"That's why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went back to the capital to look for the commoner girl."

Regent: Thank you for listening to me.

Although the regent still held an important position in the court, after he returned power to the emperor, he completely withdrew from the court and lost interest in worldly affairs.

Therefore, even though everyone respected the regent very much, he was no longer an official in the court.

That's why Lu Li called herself a commoner woman.

Mu Yunyu originally wanted to see how Mu Yunchen would argue, but he didn't expect this to happen.

For a moment, he was more inclined to suspect that the person who delivered the letter did it on purpose, and he felt very uncomfortable.

Could it be that Mu Yunchen was really in a hurry to seek medical treatment because Yun'er had this disease?

Now it seems that the red rash on the Crown Princess... No, Yun'er's face is real, Mu Yunchen is here is real, and what Lu Li said also seems to be true.

Otherwise, it would take at least half a month to return from Lige, so how could Mu Yunchen possibly make it back in time?

Even if he had three heads and six arms and rushed back, the news from the capital had been blocked by himself.

It is absolutely impossible for it to be leaked, so how could Mu Yunchen and Lu Li prepare such a comprehensive explanation?

In addition, he saw the red rashes on Yun'er's face and hands with his own eyes!

But she was pregnant, there was absolutely no way she could poison herself.

So it's definitely true.

There was no flaw in the connection between them. If the chance was one in ten thousand, they would have expected that they would ask their father for permission.

Then... Mu Yunyu thought and shook his head repeatedly. It's impossible, absolutely impossible.

If this is true, then Mu Yunchen is not a human, but a god?

Thinking of this, Mu Yunyu suddenly became more willing to believe that he was deceived by the messenger.

But now he has informed his father, suspecting that Mu Yunchen and Yun'er were using the excuse of nurturing the pregnancy, but in fact Mu Yunchen secretly ran away to collude with Li Ge.

That's why his father sent him and Pei Xuan to the palace to investigate.

But... the situation before me...

Mu Yunyu suddenly looked up timidly at Mu Yunchen and Mu Peiyun who were sitting side by side.

How will this end? How will I explain this to my father when I return?

Mu Yunchen was not guilty of deceiving the emperor, nor was he guilty of colluding with Li Ge.

On the contrary, he himself was not afraid of being found out by Mu Yunchen. After all, as a prince and the emperor's son, he naturally had the responsibility to purge the court of evildoers.

It's just that this time the wrong person was accused.

But for my father, the false accusation against the crown prince was enough to make him suspicious of himself.

This is what Mu Yunyu is most worried about.

While his mind was still wandering, Pei Xuan suddenly reached out to remind Mu Yunyu.

When he suddenly came to his senses, he saw Pei Xuan looking in the direction of Mu Yunchen.

Mu Yunyu looked at Mu Yunchen with a bewildered look on his face. Mu Yunchen was not annoyed, but asked again with great patience: "I just said, Fifth Brother, is there anything else you don't understand? Please continue and I will help you solve your doubts."

Seeing that he was at a disadvantage, Mu Yunyu had no choice but to explain: "Your Highness the Crown Prince has misunderstood. I was just concerned about you and the Crown Princess, so I asked a lot of questions."

Mu Yunyu thought that he could deal with Mu Yunchen by just saying a few words like this.

The only thing he has to worry about now is how to reply to his father when he returns.

After all, he had Pei Xuan following him, so he couldn't lie about anything.

At this moment, Mu Yunyu seemed to understand why his father sent Pei Xuan to follow.

It’s not to exonerate Mu Yunchen, nor to monitor him, but to - tell the truth!

But how could Mu Yunchen let Mu Yunyu go easily?

After waiting for Mu Yunyu to finish his long-winded talk, it was now his turn.

"Since Fifth Brother has nothing else to ask, I do have something to ask you."

Mu Yunyu's pupils trembled and his eyes looked a little empty, as if he had foreseen something bad.

Then, Mu Yunchen asked casually, "I heard that my fifth brother and Lord Pei had already arrived at the palace on the morning I returned to the capital to look for Dr. Lu. Did they just miss each other?"

Although he didn't know what Mu Yunchen was going to say next, Mu Yunyu could only nod.

"Your Highness is right. That day was really unfortunate. If I had known that the Crown Princess was ill, I would have gone directly to the Regent's Palace when I came from the capital and brought a miraculous doctor with me."

Mu Yunchen nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he agreed with Mu Yunyu's statement, but still felt a little regretful.

"Fifth brother is right, but fifth brother didn't know that my Crown Princess was ill, and I didn't know that fifth brother and Master Pei were coming to visit."

"After all... none of us have the ability to predict the future, right?!"

Mu Yunyu felt that Mu Yunchen's question was a bit strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange about it for a moment.

None of us has the ability to predict the future, but if we are careful enough, we can prepare in advance and prevent it.

It’s a pity that Mu Yunyu is too confident and too conceited.

He would never believe that Mu Yunchen and Mu Peiyun had anticipated such an event and made preparations in advance.

He was also unwilling to believe that Mu Yunchen was more comprehensive than him.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said so."

Mu Yunyu listened to Mu Yunchen's words humbly. After all, what else could he say at this time?

Do you want him to say, I suspected that you went to Li Ge secretly, and then ran to complain to my father?

No way, he's not that stupid.

"However, I also heard that Fifth Brother has been visiting the Crown Princess's bedroom quite frequently during the few days I was away."

"Even though my Crown Princess has never opened the door to see you, I, the fifth brother, will still be standing guard at the door."

"What you said seems to be an attempt to sow discord between me and the Crown Princess..."

Before Mu Yunchen finished speaking, Mu Yunyu interrupted him with a guilty conscience: "I didn't... Your Highness, please don't easily believe in other people's slander. I have never done such a thing."

Mu Yunchen raised his eyebrows, leaned back in his chair very relaxedly, and looked at Mu Yunyu standing in front of him, with no intention of letting him sit down at all.

"Really? How did Fifth Brother know that what I heard was just slander and not the truth?"

"Also, you said you haven't done this kind of thing, what kind of thing are you referring to?"

"Did he not come to guard outside the Crown Princess's bedroom every day, or did he not say anything that would destroy the harmony between brother and sister-in-law?"

Mu Yunchen's questions one after another confused the unprepared Mu Yunyu.

Mu Yunyu subconsciously looked at Mu Peiyun, feeling very confused. Could it be that Yun'er had complained to Mu Yunchen?

No, it's impossible, Yun'er would not treat him like this.

It must be the maids around Yun'er who couldn't bear to see that Yun'er and he had such a good rapport, so they went to Mu Yunchen to spread the word.

However, they are just a few maids. How can their words be as credible as those of a prince like him?

As long as he insisted on not doing it, and then used threats and bribes to bribe the maids afterwards, Mu Yunchen would not be able to do anything to him.

"Your Highness has misunderstood. I have not."

"I didn't say anything outrageous to the Crown Princess. Even though I came to the Crown Princess's residence every day, I never set foot inside the courtyard."

"It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has gone out to seek medical treatment. I don't know how His Royal Highness will return, so I have to come and ask every day."

As Pei Xuan stood aside with his brows tightly frowned when he heard this. What a good storyteller!
