I became a concubine in the palace and cured my master's hidden disease.

Zhao Yuan immediately left Concubine De's palace.

"Master, Aunt Lin has made all the arrangements." When the head guard Qu Dahai saw Zhao Yuan coming out, he immediately stepped forward to report.

"Go back home!" As soon as Zhao Yuan finished speaking, the prince's guard came over to invite him.

He had to temporarily give up the idea of ​​returning home and went to the Prince's Eastern Palace.

Prince's Mansion Study

"Who is the person behind this?" The prince frowned, not knowing what to do.

"I don't know, but it feels unusual. The silver and money were taken away directly from the warehouse intact, but we found the silver and money in a cave, hundreds of miles away. When we found the silver, the imprisoned officials and guards committed suicide collectively, and the clue was cut off all of a sudden." Zhao Yuan said.

"Humph, it's strange that he died at such a timely moment. Soon there will be another sum of money to be sent to the capital, which my father has given to me. I have a feeling that these people are coming for me, so I hope nothing will go wrong."

"Why would the prince think so?" Zhao Yuan asked.

"A thousand taels of silver is not too much, but it was simply stored in a cave and not used. On the surface, it seems that a group of people are greedy for silver, but the purpose behind it is unknown. Duan Zhizheng reported me for this matter, saying that I was not strict in my administration, which led to the guards stealing from the public."

"Oh, a small official actually dares..." Zhao Yuan said.

"Of course he doesn't dare, but the power behind him cannot be ignored. He is just a bird that sticks out." said the prince.

"We were indeed not thoughtful enough this time and overlooked many things," Zhao Yuan said.

"You've done a great job!" said the prince. "If you hadn't found it in time, I wouldn't have been the subject of much criticism. I'd probably have to replace the prince."

"That's not the case. Father's regard for you is not something that can be easily changed by one or two things."

"I hope so. Go look at the files again and see if you can find any clues. We can't always be so passive."

"Okay!" Zhao Yuan replied reluctantly. This prince really didn't have as much time as him to prepare for marrying a wife!

Mu Xueli waited and waited at home, and finally what she got was that Zhao Yuan would stay overnight at the Prince's Mansion today, and asked her to dress up Xiang Ling and send her to the Prince of Qi's Mansion. Mu Xueli was so angry that she had no place to vent her anger. She was confused. What was Zhao Yuan up to?

I had never heard of these in my previous life. Zhao Yuan married one woman and she died. After marrying five times, he never married again and never left the capital. There was no such person as Lin Yan. Xiang Ling had always been with me, but was finally abused by her drunkard husband and died of dystocia. How did everything change in this life? Xiang Ling actually followed the King of Qi. What was going on? Could it be that because she married into the family, not only did she change Zhao Yuan's fate of being unlucky in marriage, but she also changed Xiang Ling's fate?

Zhao Yuan was busy, and in order to show his magnanimity, Mu Xueli personally arranged and arranged all matters related to marrying a concubine.

Since they both had the surname Lin, Mu Xueli rearranged the Xianyue Courtyard as Lin Yurou's residence, and arranged Chen Qingqing to live in the Shijin Courtyard next to the Xianyue Courtyard.

Everything was ready, Zhao Yuan had also returned, and this time there was no need to prepare a rooster as a substitute. Zhai Zizhuang breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Yuan was very satisfied with Mu Xueli's arrangement, which made Mu Xueli feel strange. Logically, he doted on Lin Yan so much, and she deliberately gave the Crescent Moon Courtyard to Lin Yurou. He should be more or less angry, but why didn't he have any objection? Could it be that Zhao Yuan really planned to keep Lin Yan outside as a concubine who was despised and not recognized by the clan? If so, even if Lin Yan gave birth to a child in the future, it would not be recognized by the royal family. Haha, for herself, I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

"Your Highness, is there anything else that needs to be adjusted? If you are not satisfied with anything, please tell me." Mu Xueli pretended to be concerned and asked Zhao Yuan carefully.

"No need, this is good enough." Zhao Yuan replied calmly, without much expression on his face.

Hearing this answer, Mu Xueli couldn't help but feel happy, but she still pretended to be regretful and said: "I heard that the master found Aunt Lin. I wonder if she is doing well now? I didn't expect that she would end up living out there. She must have suffered a lot over the years. It really makes people feel sad!" After that, Mu Xueli secretly observed Zhao Yuan's reaction.

However, Zhao Yuan just looked at her expressionlessly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile, and then he said calmly: "It is rare for the princess to be so generous and kind. This is really a blessing for this prince. The princess is very capable and has managed the palace in an orderly manner. Thank you for your hard work."

Facing Zhao Yuan's praise, Mu Xueli lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly and replied softly: "This is what I should do." Then, she raised her head again and looked at Zhao Yuan gently, her eyes full of love and dependence.

Seeing Mu Xueli's eyes, Zhao Yuan sighed inwardly. He knew that he could no longer give Mu Xueli any hope. So, he deliberately avoided Mu Xueli's gaze, turned his head away, and stopped looking at her. Mu Xueli noticed Zhao Yuan's actions, and a sense of loss surged in her heart. But she quickly concealed her inner emotions and said to Zhao Yuan with a smile: "Your Highness, it's getting late, and we should rest." As she said that, she gently took Zhao Yuan's hand and wanted to take him back to the room to rest.

"I still have a lot of things to deal with. You go to sleep first. I'm going to the study." Zhao Yuan patted Mu Xueli's shoulder and left.

Mu Xueli was so angry that her teeth itched. What did it mean to let her stay alone in the empty room? She kept silent about Aunt Lin. The new bride hadn't entered the house yet, but Zhao Yuan still didn't take her seriously. It was too much.

"Your Highness, you have worked hard! I am waiting for you." Mu Xueli said angrily.

Zhao Yuan stopped and looked back at Mu Xueli, with a slight smile on his face: "No need, you've worked hard, go to bed early!"

After saying that, he strode out of the room.

Mu Xueli looked at Zhao Yuan's departing back, feeling a little disappointed, but more angry.

She sat down on the bed, pouted and said to herself, "Asshole, why can't I catch his eye?"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Mu Xueli decided to teach Zhao Yuan a lesson.

He put on a cloak, left the house through the back door, and knocked on a strange door.

If Zhao Yuan were here, he would recognize the man inside immediately. He was the current emperor's younger brother, Prince Heng, Zhao Mingye. Hearing the knock on the door, Prince Heng put down the pen in his hand, stood up and walked to the door to open it. When he saw the person standing outside the door, the corners of his mouth rose slightly. "You're finally here!"

Mu Xueli showed a sly smile, hugged his arm, and said coquettishly: "King Heng, you must keep your word!"
