Because the incident at the execution ground today was exposed, and now everyone in Kyoto knows that he and Mu Ruge were not the children of Duke Fuguo, but the result of an affair between Lan and someone else.

And his biological father was also thrown into prison today for replacing a death row prisoner.

He could have gone to his uncle's house, but the Mingyuan Marquis's house was also raided. He suddenly realized that without the identity of a young master of the Duke's House, he was nothing, and he didn't even have a place to stay...

Thinking of this, he began to resent the Lan family. Why did they shamelessly do such a thing? Why did they leave him with a shameful identity before they died? They made him face the world without face!

Unfortunately, Lan died, cut into pieces, and could no longer answer him.

Just when he was at his wits' end and had nowhere else to turn, a man in black appeared in front of him and showed him something.

He stood up in surprise.

The man in black only said one sentence, "Someone asked me to pick you up."

He recognized it; it was the jade hairpin that Mu Ruge never took off!

So, he followed the man in black without hesitation. At this point, they were the only two brothers and sisters left in the world, and he had no choice, no matter what it would take.

At the same time, the news that Mu Ruge was kidnapped in the Dali Temple prison also reached the ears of Emperor Jianning and Prince Ling.

However, both of them had the same reaction - calm and unhurried.

Not only did he not even frown, he even secretly thought that the robbery was a good one!

These days, Prince Yong's wings in the court have been almost clipped. If he can still sit still, they will have to doubt his determination to rebel.

"Your Highness, our people have tracked them down. Prince Yong did not come to the capital in person, but sent his capable secret guards to take away not only Mu Ruge, but also Mu Xinshang."

Prince Ling was sitting in the study, the flickering candlelight on the desk making his face dim, but his silence clearly contained a hint of pride in his mastery of the situation.

"Where's Zhou Yuan?"

Ah Shu replied, "She is still in prison. Princess Da Zhang went to Your Majesty to make a scene, but she didn't achieve her goal."

"This royal aunt of mine has been loved by everyone since she was young. Over the years, she has often spoken wildly with the elite soldiers at her disposal, but my royal brother has tolerated it. Now that Zhou Yuan has committed a blatant crime, she still wants to use her power as an elder to cover it up. How can it be so simple? If they had not colluded with King Yong, they might have been able to remain rich and powerful forever. Unfortunately, human greed is insatiable..."

After hitting a wall in the imperial study, the eldest princess did not dare to ask the empress dowager for help openly. Instead, she secretly sent a message to the empress dowager, asking her to contact court officials secretly, hoping to save her illegitimate son from imprisonment.

But she seemed to be oversimplifying things.

Empress Dowager Lan was also having a headache. Mu Ruge, the chess piece, was useless.

The good days of the Mingyuan Marquis’ Mansion are over.

During this short period of time, all the chess pieces that she and Prince Yong had worked so hard to place were eliminated one after another.

As the empress dowager, she is now in name only.

Except for Nanny Kang, all the other confidants in Shouxiang Palace were sent out and replaced by a new group of people.

Even if she wanted to contact the court officials, she couldn't pass on the message...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but scold Zhou Yuan for being stupid! He had worked so hard to climb to his current position, but because of a woman, he failed at the last moment!

Lan Shi didn't do her job well, she deserved to die! She also implicated the Mingyuan Marquis's Mansion, causing them to lose so many useful people! What's the point of keeping her! Only death can cleanse her!

"Madame Kang, go to the prison quietly tomorrow and tell Zhou Yuan that His Majesty will not give favor to the monks, but will give favor to the Buddhas. Even if he has committed a serious crime, as long as the Grand Princess is here, his life will be saved. Tell him to stay calm and not give Prince Yong away! Although His Majesty and Prince Ling probably know it, there is no evidence. If he can hold out, he will definitely be honored in the Imperial Ancestral Temple in the future! I will not only allow him to reveal his identity, but also grant him the title of a prince!"

Nanny Kang answered yes cautiously, but she was worried about how she would get out of the palace and go to the Heavenly Prison.

This Shouxiang Palace is no longer what it used to be.

The Queen Mother's every move is under the eyes and ears of Your Majesty, but she has followed the Queen Mother for decades. The honor and disgrace of her master are her honor and disgrace. If the Queen Mother falls, she will not have a good time.

After all of Prince Yong's followers were arrested, the crisis in the Qin Palace was temporarily resolved.

Mu Qingyan returned to the Duke's Mansion to live, but left Yun Ai and Mu Jin behind, asking one of them to follow Qin Sangbai and the other to follow Old Master Qin.

After all, these are turbulent times and we cannot take it lightly.

After the Lan family was executed, the entire Duke's Mansion fell into a haze.

Without a mistress in the mansion, Mu Sinian was devastated to learn that the child he had raised carefully for many years was not his biological son.

After Mu Qingyan returned home, the first person she met was Aunt Qin.

When I learned some things from her, I wanted her to come out and testify, but she was timid and worried that she had no one to rely on, and if she stepped forward rashly, she might lose her life, and maybe even implicate her children.

She was used to being cautious and just wanted to live a peaceful life with her daughter. She didn't dare to fight or compete, and Mu Qingyan understood and didn't blame her.

"My dear girl, you are finally back. Please try to persuade the Marquis... If he continues like this, his health will collapse..."

Mu Qingyan looked at the drunkards in the courtyard. They seemed to have aged several years in an instant. Even their originally jet-black hair had turned a little gray...

"Instead of asking me to persuade him, Aunt Qin, why not give him some sleeping pills and let him sleep?"

He could not feel any sympathy for this man.

She was not his biological daughter and had not been protected by him since childhood, so naturally he had no feelings for her. She was still rushing to see Mu Yingyu.

Aunt Qin wanted to say something to persuade him to stay, but the person had already turned around.

The man who was drinking alone seemed to notice her coming back and turned around and shouted, "Come here!"

Mu Qingyan knew that this 'you' was referring to her.

Mu Sinian was drunk, but he was not completely out of his mind.

He stood up and staggered into the study, and Mu Qingyan followed him in.

The door closed and the father and daughter looked at each other in silence.

Mu Sinian looked at her for a long time before speaking, "Your face doesn't look like your mother at all. You should look a lot like your father... That young man looks a lot like her, but his eyebrows and eyes have a bit more masculine firmness..."

Mu Qingyan heard the tone and seemed to regret it.

"Now that you know this, what are you going to do with us?"

He shouldn't have the courage to tell everyone that the two children born to his original wife are not his, right?

Mu Sinian smiled bitterly, "I know you hate me, and I hate you too! You are the proof of my shame! I even wanted to strangle you to death with my own hands!"
