I just want to rob you of your luck

Hu Lie was speechless after being rebuked by Zhou Yichen and felt extremely unhappy. In the past, the Seventh Prince always behaved very humble and courteous when he saw him.

Even if he has been crowned king now, he should not have this attitude towards his father-in-law who commands a large army.

He couldn't help but be more inclined to his daughter's guess.

Of course, as an old fox who has been in the officialdom for decades, he naturally put on a smiling face.

"Your Highness is right, but please also give Yun Shao another chance for the sake of my love for my daughter?"

After saying that, he glared at Hu Yunshao and said, "You fool, why don't you apologize to His Royal Highness Prince Liang?"

Hu Yunshao was extremely reluctant, but he still pretended to be aggrieved and submissive, walked up to Zhou Yichen and knelt down.

"Your Highness, this is all my fault. Chunyu heard me complaining to the people around me about Your Highness's exclusive favor for Concubine Lin. I didn't expect her to be so impulsive and almost caused a disaster. Please punish me, Your Highness."

Zhou Yichen slammed the table and shouted at Hu Yunshao for the first time: "You still dare to shirk responsibility after all this? Is this the family education in your general's mansion?

As a noble lady from an aristocratic family, she never speaks a word of truth and does all kinds of dirty things that are not worthy of being shown on the stage.

I have investigated everything about Chun Yu. It was you who controlled her family and forced her to stay by Jiu Er's side as a spy. You also forced her to poison the beauty cream that Jiu Er presented to the Queen. How dare you put the blame on others?"

Hu Yunshao was startled, and felt cold all over when he was looked at by Zhou Yichen's cold eyes.

She looked at Hu Lie with tears in her eyes, wanting to ask him to plead for her, but Hu Lie was too embarrassed to speak.

"Father-in-law, Hu Yunshao has bullied the concubines in the mansion many times in the past, and I turned a blind eye to it for your sake. But I didn't expect her to go even further and do such a vicious thing.

If this were to happen, and the Queen was disfigured, and the case was traced back to our Liang Palace, do you think Hu Yunshao could still safely be her Liang Princess?"

Hu Lie quickly agreed: "Your Highness is right. We are all one family. We prosper together and suffer together. It is Yun Shao who is too ignorant and willful."

Zhou Yichen dropped a bombshell: "Let's put it this way, Hu Yunshao is not worthy of his position.

But the royal family does not have the concept of divorcing a wife, so I will have her sent to the farm today to prevent her from causing trouble again and causing disaster to the Prince of Liang’s Mansion.”

"No! Please don't chase me away, Your Highness. I won't dare to cause trouble again. Please don't do this to me, Your Highness. I am the princess who was married to you by His Majesty. You can't do this to me."

Zhou Yichen looked at her coldly: "If the emperor knew what you did, do you think you could still do whatever you want in the palace all day long?"

Hu Yunshao was really scared this time. She crawled on her knees to Zhou Yichen's feet, hugged his calves, and cried.

"Your Highness, please give me one more chance, just one last time. I will definitely turn over a new leaf and never provoke Concubine Lin again."

Hu Lie really couldn't bear to watch it anymore. He didn't expect that Zhou Yixuan, who had just started to make a name for himself in the court, would dare to treat his daughter like this in front of him.

His face also darkened.

"Your Highness, Yun Shao has realized her mistake and promised not to cause trouble again. Your Highness, please forgive her this time. If there is a next time, I will never plead for her again."

Zhou Yichen seemed to be persuaded, and the cold expression on his face finally softened a little.

"For the sake of my father-in-law, I will spare her one last time. I hope she will take care of herself. Otherwise, there are only two options waiting for her: either live in the manor or practice Buddhism in the small Buddhist temple in the mansion!"

Hu Lie looked at Hu Yunshao in anger and said, "Did you hear that? Your Highness is giving you one last chance. Thank your Highness and leave."

Hu Yunshao breathed a sigh of relief. How could she be sent to the manor like this when she hadn't even exposed the true identity of King Liang?

Once you get there, they will have the final say on life and death.

She quickly thanked Zhou Yichen with gratitude, then wiped her tears and left the hall.

After she went out, her expression immediately became sinister. She glanced at Butler Ma at the door, meaning to ask him to keep an eye on King Liang.

After Hu Yunshao left, the atmosphere in the flower hall eased a little, and Zhou Yichen was quite polite to Hu Lie.

And invited him to have lunch together.

Butler Ma rolled his eyes and arranged a few dishes that Zhou Yixuan didn't like and had them placed in front of Zhou Yichen.

Zhou Yichen looked at the dishes in front of him, frowned and looked at Butler Ma: "What's wrong with you today? You can't even handle such a small matter? Don't you know that these dishes are all dishes that I don't like to eat?"

When Butler Ma heard this, he began to waver again. If it weren’t for Zhou Yixuan, how could he know that these dishes were not his favorites?

He quickly apologized with a smile, "There is a new cook in the kitchen who doesn't know Your Highness' taste. I will arrange for him to make a few dishes that Your Highness likes and send them to you."

Zhou Yichen narrowed his eyes as he looked at Butler Ma's back. Fortunately, ever since the peanut cheese incident, Jiuer told him what she knew about the foods that Zhou Yixuan didn't like to eat and asked her to pay attention.

It is impossible for Butler Ma not to know that Zhou Yixuan doesn't like these dishes. The only explanation is that Butler Ma has betrayed Zhou Yixuan and was instigated by Hu Lie and his daughter.

He looked up at Hu Lie who was telling him about the situation in the Dali Temple. He was really an old fox.

After dinner, Zhou Yichen arranged for Butler Ma to send Hu Lie out, and he returned to Qingzhu Courtyard.

When they arrived at the gate of the mansion and were the only two left, Hu Lie turned around and looked at Butler Ma meaningfully.

"Butler Ma, remember what you promised us. You should find a way to test King Liang. I will also send someone to investigate this matter. If Yun Shao's guess is true, then we must find a way to get rid of him."

Steward Ma felt bitter in his heart. He regretted sending his son to the Hu family army. If it were not for his son, he would have stayed out of such matters.

But at the same time, he was loyal to Zhou Yixuan. If his real master was really replaced, he would also want to know the truth.

"Yes, this slave knows."

Hu Lie patted his shoulder with satisfaction, then turned around and got on the carriage of the general's mansion.

After Zhou Yichen returned, he told Lin Jiuer what had happened just now, and Lin Jiuer smiled faintly.

"It seems that these people have seen some clues, but your highness, don't be afraid. If the enemy comes, we will fight back with our troops and if the water comes, we will block it with earth."

Zhou Yichen sent someone to inform Hu Yunshao that she was under house arrest for another month. This time, Hu Yunshao accepted it calmly without a single complaint.

Butler Ma has been very attentive recently, often coming close to Zhou Yichen to serve him. He secretly observes Zhou Yichen's behavior and his characteristics.

But to his disappointment, the Seventh Prince did not reveal any flaws. Apart from being more fond of reading, he was also much colder towards him.

But these cannot prove that he is the seventh prince who was replaced.

Until one day, Butler Ma brought a middle-aged man to see Zhou Yichen, and he finally discovered the flaw.
