In danger, he traveled through time to save her, and the black-bellied prince doted on her

The two of them came to a luxurious and beautiful mansion. Mu Jinan looked at the two doors, which were made of a whole piece of white jade. There were two dazzling characters written on the top: "Shen Mansion"

The walls of the mansion are not made of bricks and tiles, but are covered with gold and inlaid with gold and jade. Even the imperial palace would not dare to be so luxurious.

Or in other words, it can be so luxurious, but it cannot be so blatant, which means that Shen Yuzhong has blocked Emperor Ming's ears.

Mu Jinan turned to look at Li Huaijin, unable to believe it: "Is this Shen Yuzhong's other residence?"

Li Huaijin got off the horse and stretched out his hand to help her, but Mu Jinan blocked his hand and jumped down by himself: "I don't need your help."

Hearing footsteps coming from a hidden place around the mansion, Mu Jinan said cautiously:

"King Liang, be careful, there is an ambush"

Li Huaijin smiled and said, "Nothing" and then shouted, "Come out"

Thousands of people came out from the secret place, wearing armor and holding swords, some holding shovels and sledgehammers, with serious faces and orderly manner.

Mu Jinan's eyes widened, his heart seemed to stop beating: "This is the Southern Court's Imperial Guards, aren't they under the control of Prime Minister Lin?"

Li Huaijin's pupils were deep and majestic:

"This prince has been ordered to try the case of Shen Yuzhong's embezzlement. Shen Yuzhong has embezzled and abused his power, and embezzled the national treasury. Confiscate this mansion for this prince, and don't let a single penny go."

"Do not harm women, children, or servants"

"Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy"

Yan Yi in front of him said in a loud voice: "I will obey your orders."

Mu Jinan looked at Yan Yi. It turned out that he was Li Huaijin's man. No wonder he was promoted so quickly.

Mu Jinan was very curious when he saw that there were dozens of old maids following the royal guards.

Everyone said in unison: "Yes, Your Highness Prince Liang"

Li Huaijin looked at the jade gate and the gilded wall and said, "Tear down this gate for me first."

The words "Shen Mansion" fell heavily to the ground.

Yumen was moved away by several people. Mu Jinan saw that these guards were arranged in advance. He argued with the emperor for money and impeached Shen Yuzhong in the court, and then they came to confiscate his house.

Mu Jinan was a little horrified and whispered, "Prince Liang, you haven't investigated the case yet, but you're here to confiscate my property? This is against the law."

Li Huaijin looked at her innocent look and said bluntly:

"We should be polite to gentlemen, but how can we be reasonable to treacherous villains?"

"He is a traitor. I don't like him. I will kill him if I want."

This was the first time that Mu Jinan saw his sinister look. He was so well prepared, and he must have already investigated Shen Yuzhong's property.

Now Shen Yuzhong is imprisoned and has no power to resist. When he comes out, the money has been put into the national treasury. She praised and sighed:

“This is a trick, but it’s well done.”

Then he asked in confusion, "What if Concubine Shen begs for mercy?"

Others may not know, but she knows that Concubine Shen Yuzhong will live for some time, and may even become prime minister.

Li Huaijin raised a wicked smile, looked into her eyes, and pointed out her concerns:

"Then let the lady practice her skills, and you do the killing. Isn't this what you've always wanted to do?"

"When my lady learns to be a strategist and can control those old foxes and is able to maneuver in the court with ease, then I can kill her."

Mu Jinan was shocked at first. He actually knew all this, even though he had never said it.

She was not a princess, nor did she have the last name Li. In this dynasty where there were very few female officials, it was harder than ascending to heaven to deal with those people, to hold power, and to gain military authority.

Step by step, she never gave up!

Looking into his determined and fiery eyes, she saw herself reflected in them.

She smiled in surprise and relief:

“Besides this, you know what else I’m going to do?”

Li Huaijin looked into her bright, sad, ambitious, and complex eyes and said:

“I don’t know, but I believe”

"My lady, you must have your reasons for not wanting to talk, but I think everything you did is right."

"Whatever you want, I can give it to you"

Thinking back to when I had just met her not long ago, I didn't know why she was chasing after Li Yuanyang of the Sobbing Bird Clan. I only tried to stop her for the sake of peace in Sheng Country, and I still remember clearly that she kicked me.

The longer he spent with her, the more he felt that she would do no wrong, and he regretted letting Li Yuanyang go countless times. If that happened now, he would kill Li Yuanyang without hesitation.

Mu Jinan put his hands on his hips and smiled: "Then I think the status is high, second only to the emperor and above everyone else."

He leaned close to Mu Jinan's ear and said domineeringly and gently:

"Even if my lady wants to be the queen, I can satisfy her."

Mu Jinan was startled, and felt that he didn't know much about him before. Then he raised his eyebrows and smiled, saying:

“But you are not the prince.”

Li Huaijin looked at her little face, his eyes full of love, and his smile seemed murderous, and he said:

"I can kill the prince, seize power and become emperor."

Mu Jinan teased him deliberately and continued:

"Do you want to be cursed for eternity?"

Li Huaijin tilted his head to look at her, then straightened his back and continued:

"Since ancient times, many emperors have usurped the throne and seized power. No matter good or evil, only winning or losing counts. History books are compiled by those in power."

Mu Jinan came closer to him, with a bit of devilish look in his eyes, and said with a smile:

"What if I don't want to be a queen, but want to be an empress?"

Li Huaijin smiled lovingly:

"It's a small matter. You will be the empress and I will be your queen, but I will be the only one in the harem."

Mu Jinan thought he was just joking, so he crossed his arms over his chest, tilted his head, smiled mischievously, and said humorously:

"Have you never heard the saying, when you get ashore, the first thing you do is to kill the person you love?"

"If I became an empress, I would kill you immediately"

A trace of sadness flashed across Li Huaijin's eyes, but he seemed willing and laughed heartily:

"Dying under your sword means that I am the one you love, and I am not at all at a loss."

Mu Jinan glared at him, shook his head and said, "Slippery tongue"

Li Huaijin took her desire to become an empress seriously and said with a smile: "Let's go and see what treasures there are."

The two men walked through the demolished gate and into the courtyard, only to see thirty long spears standing in front of them. Previously, when they went to the birthday banquet of Qi Wang Li Che, they saw only twenty long spears in front of his mansion door, and there were only twelve long spears in the Mu Mansion.

Mu Jinan drew out the imperial sword beside him and chopped the halberds apart with one blow. Thirty halberds fell down in an instant. "How dare this old man be so presumptuous!"

Li Huaijin looked at Mu Jinan's angry look and felt that she was even more adorable. The guards in the front yard had been subdued and there were several dead bodies lying on the ground.

The two men walked towards the central hall. The chairs in the pavilion were all made of gold. On the table was a gilded dragon, shining brightly and more luxurious than the one seen at the birthday banquet of King Qi.

The gilded basin with a double mandarin duck pattern sparkled with gold. Mu Jinan found that the workmanship was even more exquisite than what he had seen in the Emperor Ming's Palace in the palace before.

Li Huaijin looked at these. The central hall was the place for banquets. Shen Yuzhong was so blatant: "Put the golden throne and the colorful dragon together."

Several people carried it away, and Mu Jinan's eyes lit up. How nice it would be if all these were his.

The central courtyard alone, including the polo field, is too large.

The imperial guards brought their horses over, and two of them rode towards the inner courtyard. Mu Jinan looked and saw that this was probably a courtyard with more than a dozen entrances and exits, or perhaps more.
