Reborn as a legitimate daughter, huh? Why is she different from her previous life?

Ying Luo glared at him and shouted, "The master is still here, put away your tricks!"

Ying Wu muttered in a low voice with some grievance: "I just want to adapt to my new identity. If I show any flaws somewhere, it will cause trouble for the master..." Ying Luo's eyes narrowed slightly. Ying Wu saw a dangerous look in his eyes and smiled awkwardly and put away his playful smile.

Feng Chengyin usually wouldn't be too restrictive about the temperament of the shadow guards around him, so he didn't blame Ying Wu. He glanced at him and said calmly: "Remember, don't do anything after returning to the palace, and try to speak as little as possible."

"I obey your command!" Ying Wu responded immediately.

……

The family members of court officials were not allowed to attend the burial of the late emperor, as it was said that women had too much yin energy which could easily destroy the dragon energy of the imperial mausoleum. However, there were no allowed to be any banquets or entertainments during the one-year national mourning period, and in Fengdu City, no shops were allowed to open on the streets for the first twenty-one days.

Within seven days, women must wear mourning clothes, and men must wear mourning clothes when going out, etc. These are all requirements unique to the Beifeng Kingdom’s mourning period.

Yu Menghua was dressed in white, without any headdress on her head, and sat lazily in the carriage and came to Wanfeng Pavilion.

Mo Yin stopped the carriage at the back door of Wanfeng Pavilion and knocked.

"Who is this? Wanfeng Pavilion has been closed for nearly a month. Please come back another day..." The servant of Wanfeng Pavilion heard the knock on the door and walked to the back door and spoke loudly.

Mo Yin said in a cold voice: "The master is here, open the door." After he finished speaking, he stuffed the token through the crack in the door.

The servant immediately opened the back door when he saw the token, "Master!"

Yu Menghua had put on his hat when he got off the carriage, and told the servant: "The capital has been unstable recently. Do not open the door without a token."

"Yes, yes, I've made note of it." The servant responded in fear and trepidation, "Oh my God, I'm so happy, the master is talking to me!"

The servant looked at the figures of Yu Menghua and the others who were getting farther and farther away. He closed the door quickly and turned into a screaming chicken in his heart.

You have to know that the servants and their wives usually have almost no chance to talk to the head and second-in-command, not to mention that today he not only saw the master, but the master also talked to him! !

He felt like his ancestral tomb was on fire. That was such a mysterious master!

Wanfeng Pavilion became particularly deserted due to its closure, which gave her a different feeling.

Yu Menghua walked up the stairs of Wanfeng Pavilion step by step, as if she could still see the bustling scene of Wanfeng Pavilion on weekdays...

After arriving at the top floor, Mo Yin pushed open the door of one of the rooms. After Yu Menghua walked in, Mo Yin closed the door again and stood quietly outside.

"Master!" Mei Niang knelt down immediately after seeing Yu Menghua, "Please, Master, save Dong Yang..."

"You sent someone to tell me there's an urgent matter. What is it? Get up first and tell me!" Yu Menghua helped Mei Niang up, frowning.

Mei Niang's eyes were red and swollen from crying. She didn't dare to waste time and stood up with Yu Menghua's strength. She immediately said, "Master, when Dong Yang left with Lord He Lin that day..."

It turned out that Dong Yang had been very careful when following He Lin before and was not discovered by He Lin. At the same time, Dong Yang also found out some of the main reasons why He Lin left Beijing.

He Lin's destination was indeed the border, but after arriving near Su City, He Lin settled down. Dong Yang had no choice but to stay in the same family's house. Although he had changed his appearance a little, he did not dare to underestimate He Lin.

If he stayed in the same inn with him, there would be a risk of being exposed. After all, He Lin had been to Wanfeng Pavilion many times and had met Dong Yang and Mei Niang many times, so Dong Yang did not dare to take the risk.

They stayed there for a few days, and He Lin did not behave abnormally during these days. Dong Yang would occasionally give some change to the owner of the inn and ask them to visit the inn occasionally to help him keep an eye on He Lin.

So although he didn't dare to say that he knew every move of He Lin, it was pretty close.

A few days later, Dong Yang took that man to the inn again, using the excuse of packing food, but in fact he was continuing to keep an eye on He Lin, as there were unusual movements on He Lin's side.

A stranger found He Lin, and the two discussed going to the border tomorrow.

When Dong Yang heard the news, he thought about it and finally decided to go to the inn to check it out. According to the description of the person who came to see He Lin by the man he bribed, Dong Yang felt that he was familiar with him...

Dong Yang has lived in Fengdu City since he was ten years old. Most of the people who come to Wanfeng Pavilion are children of officials. Naturally, he is no stranger to the officials of all ranks in Fengdu City.

Therefore, he must see with his own eyes who is coming!

That night, Dong Yang sneaked into the room next to the one where He Lin lived in the inn. This was also thanks to the person who was gathering information and found out that there was a vacant room next to the house where He Lin and that person lived.

Dong Yang pressed his ear against the wall and listened carefully to the conversation in the next room. He roughly understood what He Lin and the man meant.

He also knew the identity of the visitor from the way He Lin addressed that person, Pang Yue, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard!

Dong Yang already knew that He Lin was Concubine Li's man, but if he remembered correctly, this Deputy Commander Pang Yue seemed to have had an excessive relationship with the former Second Prince Feng Yuxuan in private. At least he overheard his scumbag father Dong Jinghui and Earl Cheng Yang mentioning it more than once in their conversation in the study!

But the fact that the Second Prince is not the Emperor's bloodline has become a hot topic. Although the Emperor has never made any statement, the entire Fengdu City, from the civil and military officials to the ordinary people, knows about this matter!

(At this time, Feng Yuxuan had not yet been arranged by Qu Yitian to escape.)

While Dong Yang continued to eavesdrop on their conversation, he was thinking about the distribution of power among the princes in Fengdu City.

The reason why Yu Menghua was willing to lend a hand to Dong Yang who was in desperate situation was naturally because he was an indispensable strategist to Feng Yuxuan in his previous life and had an extremely useful brain!

Therefore, Dong Yang's understanding of the relationships between people and the distribution of power in Fengdu City is sometimes even better than that of Yu Menghua, a reborn person.

Suddenly, Dong Yang felt something strange. Pang Yue's official position was much higher than He Lin's, so why were the two talking in He Lin's room instead of Deputy Commander Pang Yue's room? !

This is not right!

Although he could not hear the entire conversation between the two clearly, it was not difficult to tell from their occasional angry tone that He Lin, an inconspicuous ninth-rank official, was dominating the conversation.

Pang Yue occasionally suppressed his anger and said something that clearly showed that the two of them had not reached an agreement...

Dong Yang's eyes darkened slightly. It seemed that He Lin's identity was not simple.

Dong Yang walked out of the room carefully, wanting to listen more carefully to what the two had to say at their door.
