On the way back home, the carriage swayed gently, and Lin Yushu was filled with thoughts.

After a while, she thought that Emperor Ming was actually going to grant her a marriage with Nan Rongjing, and her face became hot.

For a while, I wondered why Emperor Ming doted on Concubine Yu so much, and why Concubine Yu did not show her true face to people.

As for the fact that the Emperor favors Concubine Yu, Lin Yushu doesn't really think so.

The reason why she had never paid attention to Concubine Yu in her past and present lives was because her son, the Seventh Prince Nan Fuchen, had never been considered by Emperor Ming as the crown prince.

If Emperor Ming really doted on Concubine Yu, why was the Seventh Prince Nan Fuchen always forgotten and neglected by Emperor Ming, with his status even lower than that of Nan Huaishuo?

Lin Yushu felt that the next time she saw Nan Rongjing, she would definitely ask him to help investigate this Jade Concubine.

When she thought of Nan Rongjing, Lin Yushu's cheeks became hot again...

As soon as they entered the mansion, the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict had arrived. Lin Yushu, Lin Mingyue and Lin Ling knelt down in an orderly manner to receive the imperial edict and kowtowed to express their gratitude.

Lin Mingyue smiled and stuffed a bag of silver ingots into the eunuch's hand. He listened to the eunuch's flattery while sending the eunuch out the door. Then the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

"Shu'er?"

Lin Mingyue held the imperial edict in his hand, his face turned pale, his thick eyebrows were furrowed, and he looked at Lin Yushu with a stern look, waiting for her to give him an explanation.

Lin Yushu felt a little guilty for a moment. She had never told her father and brother about her friendship with Nan Rongjing, and she had no way to say it out loud. After all, in her opinion, the two of them were just a transaction.

Lin Yushu helped Nan Rongjing to detoxify, and Nan Rongjing helped her get rid of Nan Huaishuo.

But they didn't know when it started, but they didn't need to say much, or even exchange glances, to know what the other would do, and they could leave everything to each other without worrying about it.

Not long ago, Nan Rongjing even took the initiative to propose to marry Lin Yushu, but Lin Yushu firmly believed that it was just Nan Rongjing extending a helping hand to her and that there was no real affection between them.

Although Lin Yushu does not like the current situation, it is also the best outcome.

If Emperor Ming really decided to grant her a marriage, she couldn't refuse, so Nan Rongjing would be the best choice...

Seeing that Lin Yushu's face turned pale and red, Lin Mingyue understood.

"Has he been eyeing you for a long time? I thought he was different from the Jade-faced King of Hell in the rumors, but I didn't expect him to be so cunning. He is just like other playboys, wanting to marry you to curry favor with the Duke's Mansion!"

To curry favor with the Duke’s Mansion?

Lin Yushu didn't expect Lin Mingyue to think this way. The Prince of Jin was a close minister of the emperor, the nephew of Emperor Ming, and in charge of the Yulin Guard. He had always been decisive and impartial in killing. How could Lin Mingyue think that his target was the Duke's Mansion?

Lin Yushu was just about to explain a few words for Nan Rongjing when the green-headed Lin Ling jumped out again.

"That's right, he must have been targeting my father, just like those people who came to propose marriage with ill intentions. I didn't expect him to directly ask His Majesty to grant me a marriage. He is so insidious!"

"Don't worry, Shu'er. As long as your father is here, I will never let Nan Rongjing bully you. He is trying to curry favor with me. Humph, if he treats you badly, I will pull out his tendons."

"Then I peeled his skin off..."

Lin Yushu asked the heavens in silence. After all, she was a recognized beauty in the capital. Why was she so unattractive in the eyes of her father and brother? Even the man who wanted to marry her didn't like her, but the two of them?

"Nan Rongjing is best at skinning people, brother, you can go and learn from him first."

"Is that true? That's great. I'll go and learn it when I have time."

Lin Yushu: ...

But after being talked about by Lin Mingyue and his son, Lin Yushu began to have doubts in her heart. She believed that with Nan Rongjing's status and means, he did not need to curry favor with anyone.

However, will Nan Rongjing really accept this sudden arranged marriage with no complaints?

What if he is not happy... For some reason, Lin Yushu felt a little depressed when she thought of this.

It is not her style to let wild thoughts run wild. Instead of harboring ulterior motives after marriage, it is better to make things clear before the wedding!

Lin Yushu ignored the father and son who were still discussing how to deal with Nan Rongjing's evil intentions, turned around and walked out. She wanted to talk things out with Nan Rongjing.

As soon as she entered Prince Jin's Mansion, Lin Yushu discovered something was wrong.

All the servants who usually cleaned and did chores in the mansion were gone. From a distance, Lin Yushu could faintly hear some noisy sounds.

Something happened in Prince Jin's Mansion? !

Lin Yushu's pace unconsciously quickened as she quickly crossed the front yard and came to the yard where Nan Rongjing lived. Several old men with white beards were walking out of the door.

Lin Yushu subconsciously pulled Leng Dai to hide behind a huge sycamore tree. Behind the dense branches and leaves, the sound came from far away.

"This old minister is incompetent!"

"Doctor Song, don't blame yourself alone. It's the incompetence of our entire Imperial Hospital!"

"His Royal Highness, the Prince of Jin, is about to die, but there is nothing we can do about it. Alas!"

"I heard that His Royal Highness has sent someone to invite Old Master Shen to the capital. With Old Master Shen's help, His Royal Highness will surely be out of danger."

After the old doctors walked away, Lin Yushu walked out from behind the tree. Her usually calm expression now looked a little anxious.

Seeing this, Leng Dai asked softly, "Is the poison acting up again, His Royal Highness?"

Lin Yushu nodded, turned around and walked quickly towards Nan Rongjing's bedroom. Only Mu Shang was guarding the door. When he saw Lin Yushu and her servant coming, Mu Shang immediately broke into a bright silly smile.

"Hello, Princess!"

Leng Dai raised her hand and slapped him on the back of his head, "What are you yelling about?"

Lin Yushu ignored Mu Shang and walked into the inner room alone. In order to detoxify Nan Rongjing, Lin Yushu had been to this room many times.

But I don’t know why, as soon as I walked in today, I felt uncomfortable all over, and had a sense of shame for secretly meeting my lover.

The inner room was clean and tidy, with a kind of cold and hard temperament that belonged to Nan Rongjing. At this moment, the person who was supposed to be sitting by the window waiting for his pulse to be diagnosed was lying silently on the bed.

Lin Yushu walked over and sat beside the bed, carefully looking at the delicate eyebrows and sharp features of the person on the bed. She had always known that he was handsome, but she had never admired him quietly and seriously.

Lin Yushu just sat there quietly, but the person pretending to be asleep on the bed couldn't hold back his temper anymore.

"How long do you want to see it? Is this prince so good-looking?"

Nan Rongjing opened his eyes. His peach blossom eyes would make people who didn't know him mistakenly think he was a passionate person. But a closer look would reveal that there was no emotion in his eyes, only cold and bottomless darkness.

But at this moment, when he looked into Lin Yushu's eyes, the darkness seemed to be illuminated, radiating a vitality that he himself had never seen before.

"Don't pretend?"

Nan Rongjing was stunned. He didn't expect that she would see through him, but he still refused to admit it.

"I'm not ill. I'm just closing my eyes to rest. I'm not pretending to sleep on purpose."

"You know what I'm talking about."

After Lin Yushu finished speaking, she pinched Nan Rongjing's wrist. His wrist was icy cold without a trace of temperature, but the pulse under his skin was beating very strongly.

"Ah, I can't hide anything from you. You're right. My poison didn't take effect. I was just pretending."

"why?"

"In order to reassure Emperor Ming, since he has granted me a marriage, he will be more suspicious of me. Only by making him believe that I will not live long, can he be assured of letting you marry me."
