I just want to rob you of your luck

When Hu Yunshao heard what Butler Ma said, he immediately became energetic.

"Look, Daddy, even Butler Ma has admitted it. The current Seventh Prince must be fake."

Steward Ma shook his head quickly: "I just think that His Highness is very different from before. I dare not say that His Highness is fake. Princess, slandering the prince is a serious crime. You should think twice."

Hu Yunshao looked at Hu Lie anxiously: "Daddy, if you don't help me, I will really be tortured to death in the Seventh Prince's Mansion. Only by overthrowing the fake Seventh Prince and that little bitch Lin can I become the master of this Prince's Mansion. Please help me, Daddy."

Hu Lie was almost overwhelmed and was a little hesitant.

"Yun Shao, do you know that the Seventh Prince has been named the King of Liang by His Majesty today? You are the Seventh Prince's Consort, who was granted marriage by His Majesty. Now you are the legitimate Princess of Liang.

If he has great fortune in the future, maybe you will also rise with him. Why can't you see the situation clearly and go against him at every turn?"

Hu Yunshao looked at Hu Lie in disbelief: "How could His Majesty be so confused? Can't he see that his son is a fake?"

"How dare you criticize His Majesty so recklessly! I think you are really crazy. It doesn't matter if you are tired of living, but don't let it cause trouble for the General's Mansion."

Hu Lie couldn't understand it. Hu Yunshao's mother was his favorite concubine. The woman was gentle and intelligent, but unfortunately she died after giving birth to Hu Yunshao.

Hu Yunshao had always been raised under the name of the lady, and everyone in the mansion treated her as a legitimate daughter. She also looked like her biological mother and was very much loved by Hu Lie.

How did you become like this after getting married?

Hu Yunshao knew that if he couldn't get Hu Lie's help this time, he would be really finished.

She simply knelt in front of Hu Lie and cried, "Daddy, I don't want to die. Please save me. This is the last time I'll ask you. Please send someone to investigate the Seventh Prince again, okay?"

Hu Lie looked at his daughter's thin face and her crying, which made him feel pity for her. He thought of her mother and his heart softened. He reached out to help Hu Yunshao up.

"Forget it. This is the last time I will help you. I will send my trusted confidant to investigate the matter. But no matter what the result is, you must not do anything wrong in the future. Otherwise, the General's Mansion will not be able to protect you. Do you understand?"

Hu Yunshao nodded happily. She knew that Hu Lie had many talented people under his command. With him investigating, this matter would definitely reveal some clues.

"My daughter knows. I'm glad that Dad is willing to help me. Even if I can't find out anything, I've given up. I will live a peaceful life and never cause trouble again."

She was still very confident that Hu Lie would be able to find some clues.

Hu Lie looked at the anxious Steward Ma standing aside and said, "I'll have to trouble Steward Ma to take care of my daughter in the future. Steward Ma should also help keep an eye on whether there is really something wrong with Prince Liang. If he was really replaced as Yun Shao said, then Steward Ma should be careful."

Before he finished speaking, Butler Ma's expression changed.

This was also what he was worried about. Recently, His Highness had been lukewarm towards him, and many important tasks were assigned to the newly promoted Song Zheng.

He felt that His Highness no longer seemed to trust him, which made him a little lost for a while.

If the Seventh Prince was really replaced, then as Zhou Yixuan's closest person, he would definitely be eliminated, so Hu Lie's words were also a reminder.

Seeing that Steward Ma was still wavering, Hu Lie struck while the iron was hot.

"Ma Chao has performed well in the military camp. I plan to promote him to be a captain of a thousand men."

Steward Ma gritted his teeth and bowed respectfully: "I would like to thank the General Protector of the Nation for promoting me. I will also pay more attention to the affairs of the mansion and try my best to help the princess."

Hu Lie smiled with satisfaction. Butler Ma was now really brought into the same camp as him.

At this time, Zhou Yichen and Lin Jiuer did not know that Hu Lie, Hu Yunshao and Butler Ma were already discussing investigating his background.

The two entered the palace and returned to Qingzhu Courtyard first.

After the two of them washed and changed their clothes, Song Zheng quietly reported to Zhou Yichen that the servant he had arranged to keep an eye on Butler Ma saw that Butler Ma and Hu Lie and his daughter stayed in the flower hall for a long time, and it was unknown what they were discussing.

"Got it. Go and inform them that I'm back and will be there soon."

Song Zheng took the order and went to inform Hu Lie and others.

Zhou Yichen told Lin Jiuer what Butler Ma was discussing with Hu Lie and Hu Yunshao.

Lin Jiuer sneered: "Hu Yunshao is desperate. I guess she wants Hu Lie and Butler Ma to help investigate your background."

A chill flashed in Zhou Yichen's eyes and a hint of worry flashed across his face, but it did not escape Lin Jiuer's eyes.

"Your Highness, don't panic. I can guess all the methods they can think of. Zhou Yixuan and Tao Bo have also been transferred to a safe place. They won't find out."

"I'm not panicking. I'm just afraid that if it's really exposed, it will implicate you."

Lin Jiuer felt warm in her heart and looked at him with a smile: "If there really comes a day like that, I won't be alone if His Highness accompanies me."

Zhou Yichen was infected by Lin Jiuer's free and easy attitude and couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. Yes, with Jiuer accompanying him, what else was there to worry about?

"You take a rest first and have someone serve the food. I'll go meet them. You don't have to wait for me."

"Okay, your highness, go now."

Although Zhou Yichen was unwilling, he had to meet Hu Lie and his daughter.

This time he didn't intend to give the other party any face. If Hu Yunshao really succeeded in adding face-rotting poison into the queen's whitening and beauty cream.

Jiuer will definitely be convicted, and it might even affect him and the Prince Liang's Mansion. This woman is a disaster.

When Zhou Yichen walked to the door of the flower hall, he saw Butler Ma standing at the door with his head bowed. He glanced at Butler Ma coldly without saying a word.

As soon as I entered the flower hall, I saw Hu Yunshao and Hu Lie sitting face to face drinking tea, with calm expressions.

As soon as they saw Zhou Yichen come in, both father and daughter stood up.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, on being named King of Liang. I just heard about this from my father, and I am really happy for Your Highness."

Hu Yunshao was the first to speak up to congratulate, as if what happened last night had never happened.

This time, Zhou Yichen did not give her some face for Hu Lie's sake as he did in the past. Instead, he glanced at her and snorted coldly.

Then he walked right past her and sat in the main seat.

Hu Yunshao felt as if he had been slapped in the face. He felt wronged and unwilling. He cursed the fake Seventh Prince in his heart for being a good-for-nothing. On the surface, he could only pretend to be obedient and docile and dared not say a word.

Hu Lie quickly spoke up to smooth things over.

"Your Highness Prince Liang was crowned today, which is a great joyous event. Don't bother with Yun Shao about those trivial matters.

I have just made it clear that what happened last night was that the slave girl acted on her own initiative and wanted to harm Concubine Lin and get punished by the Queen.

That lowly maid was originally a servant in Yun Shao's courtyard. She had received Yun Shao's favor before, and she couldn't stand His Highness favoring Concubine Lin alone, so she wanted to vent Yun Shao's anger."

Zhou Yichen raised his eyes and looked at Hu Lie coldly: "Father-in-law, have you ever heard of the saying that it will never happen again?

After what happened to Mingyue and Mingyu, do you think I will still believe this? Father-in-law is a veteran of two dynasties. Can't he even distinguish the truth from the falsehood of such a clumsy statement? "
