I'm shocked! After breaking off the engagement, the emperor's uncle wants to have a fake m

Mu Ruge didn't dare to think so.

What if Your Majesty wants to knock down everyone on the boat with one strike?

What would happen if it was revealed at this time that Prince Chong was not born to Your Majesty but to Prince Yong?

Today, something happened to the Lan family, and the Queen Mother was powerless to do anything and could only let it go.

If she ends up in such a situation someday, the Queen Mother will also abandon her.

She can't always wait for others to give her charity, she has to stand on her own high ground and be her own master!

But it wouldn't work. As long as she did it, there would be traces and the Queen Mother would easily suspect her, and then she would only die faster.

Can't take risks.

But if she followed the Queen Mother to plan for Prince Yong, sooner or later she would be regarded as a traitor and killed, because she did not think Prince Yong could accomplish anything.

Neither Emperor Jianning nor Prince Ling were stupid.

When the governor of the grain transport of nine provinces came to Beijing to report on his work, most of the followers of Prince Yong were eliminated. How could winning people's hearts be done overnight?

So what to do next?

It is not so easy to get rid of Mu Qingyan now. If the witness and she make a mistake again at this time, she will not only fail to save the Lan family, but also drag herself into the water, which is not worth the loss...

The prince... that man whose appearance, knowledge and temperament are no less than those of Prince Ling, can he become her new supporter?

In the Gu Mansion, Mu Qingyan knelt down in front of the elders as soon as she entered the main hall. "Yan'er disregarded the feelings of grandpa and uncle and privately reported the cause of mother's death to the emperor. I beg grandpa and grandma to forgive me..."

How could General Gu have the heart to blame her? Today, after hearing what the midwife and the doctor said, he realized how difficult it was for these two children to survive. Now he felt even more distressed. How could he blame her?

"Get up quickly..." General Gu helped her up with red eyes.

"Grandfather knows that the Lan family comes from the Mingyuan Marquis's Mansion, and behind the Mingyuan Marquis' Mansion is the Queen Mother, and behind the Queen Mother is Prince Yong who has a large army. If this matter is reported to Jingzhao Prefecture, it will probably be easily exposed by the Queen Mother and then left unresolved. Only when it is reported to the emperor will she have no chance of survival... You have thought it through and done a good job... But, in doing so, aren't you pushing yourself into the abyss? Your Majesty and Prince Ling will deal with the Mingyuan Marquis and expose his followers. Prince Yong will lose his wings and will definitely seek revenge to vent his anger... At that time, it will be easy to dodge an open spear, but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. What should you do..."

Mu Qingyan was very touched. At this time, her grandfather was still concerned about her safety instead of the well-being of the Gu family.

“Grandfather, don’t you blame Yan’er for acting on his own?”

"You seek justice for your mother, why should I blame you? Eighteen years ago, if the Gu family had not gone to Chiling Pass, your mother would not have died so early... In the final analysis, we as parents feel guilty towards her... At that time, she had no one to turn to for help, how desperate she must have been..."

It is very painful to bring up old things again.

The greatest sorrow in the world is to see the elderly die before the young.

But if the truth is buried forever, how can those who died in vain rest in peace?

Mu Qingyan did not regret making this decision.

After having dinner with the Gu family, Xulin personally sent her back to the Qin Mansion.

Mu Ying had already returned to the Duke's Mansion. When she learned that Lan had been imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice, she did not show much expression.

However, Duke Fuguo summoned her and told her that the engagement was no longer valid. It had not been finalized anyway and was just a verbal promise. Now that Lan's family had gotten into this kind of trouble, they were afraid of getting into trouble, so they took the initiative to send someone to settle the matter.

It can be regarded as an explanation.

This pleased Mu Yingyu because she didn't want to get married in the first place.

"In the future, you should have less contact with your elder sister. Her heart is not with ours." Duke Fuguo was still very dissatisfied with her filing a complaint with the emperor after thinking about it carefully.

This would severely offend the Queen Mother and Prince Yong. If they took revenge on the Duke Fuguo's Mansion, wouldn't they be the ones to suffer?

Mu Yingyu looked up, only to see anger in his eyes, "But father, in the whole house, only my eldest sister cares about whether I am happy or not..."

Duke Fuguo was silent.

He really didn't care as much about his daughter as Mu Ruge. For some reason, the Lan family didn't care about her either...

He only cared about planning for Ruge and Xinshang, and regarded Yingyu as a chess piece that could be used. When necessary, he would even use her life as a calculation...

Could it be that Yingyu is not his flesh and blood?

Thinking of this, he looked at this face that didn't look like him, nor like Lan's, and fell into deep thought...

But in Mu Yingyu's view, such contemplation was a tacit acknowledgement of the fact that they did not love her. She turned around in disappointment and left without saying a word.

There is really nothing to miss in this house. It would be great if I could leave it...

That night, Mu Qingyan appeared in the dark prison of the Ministry of Justice.

Although His Majesty had ordered that no one was allowed to visit, it was still easy for her to come in with Prince Ling as her guarantor.

"My dear, the person is locked up here. If you have anything to say, please speak slowly. I will go outside to guard..."

"Thank you..." She handed the jailer a bag of change.

The jailer took it with a smile, "Thank you, young lady..."

She stood in front of the cell where Lan was, took off the hood of her cloak, revealing her cold face.

When Lan saw that it was her, she was very emotional, "You bitch! Why didn't I strangle you to death back then? I let you live to this day!"

She had taken off all the pearls and jade in her hair, and was no longer wearing the gorgeous clothes and the dignity of a Duke's wife.

He was wearing prison clothes, with unkempt hair and dirty face. His once fierce eyebrows and eyes had become much more pleasing to the eye.

When he entered the Ministry of Justice prison, he received the routine beating.

"Yeah, why didn't you strangle me to death back then? Why did you let me live until now, dragging you off the platform and into the quagmire, unable to escape..."

The more she downplayed it, the more angry Lan became. "You are the same as your mother! You always act so superior! But what is she so proud of? Isn't it because of the military merits of her family that she was able to marry into the mansion before me?"

"It's nothing great... But isn't it because of your family's status that you can call the shots in the Duke's Mansion? Now that you've become a prisoner, are there still people flattering you?"

Mu Qingyan's expression changed, and her tone turned cold, "I came here tonight not to chat with you, but to confirm something with you!"

Lan didn't know what she wanted to confirm, so she turned her face away and sat back in her original seat.

"Mu Yingyu is not my father's flesh and blood, right?"

The man who had been silent and looked disdainful turned his head subconsciously and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Mu Qingyan did not miss the flash of panic that flashed across her face.

"You feel guilty...which means I guessed right..."
