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

She even thought of going to the door to eavesdrop on what was being said inside.

Stopped by the expressionless guards, she walked away angrily.

The moment the door opened, she saw Mu Qingyan in good health. She patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. She took her hand mysteriously and walked aside, "Prince Ling didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Mu Qingyan looked back at the pale man, "He's almost dead, what can he do to me? Weren't you very brave before? You even dared to plot against Prince Chong, so why are you so afraid of Prince Ling?"

Mu Yingyu clapped her hands and almost jumped up to cover her mouth, "Keep your voice down! Do you want to die?"

She looked back and lowered her voice, "You weren't in Kyoto before, so you don't know how scary this man is... It's not convenient to talk here, let's go, let's go back and talk..."

Their carriage was at the foot of the mountain of Qingguang Temple, but there was obviously a small path leading down the mountain.

Following Prince Ling's men, they soon bypassed Qingguang Temple and arrived directly at the foot of the mountain.

Now the sun is setting, and the ladies who came to burn incense have begun to go down the mountain and prepare to return.

After getting on her own carriage, Mu Yingyu breathed a sigh of relief. She lifted the curtain with lingering fear and looked out. She didn't know what she saw, but she suddenly lowered the curtain and retracted her head. This sudden shock made Mu Qingyan very curious. What on earth did Prince Ling do to make her so scared?

"Prince Ling has been fighting on the battlefield since he was a child. It is said that when he was only seventeen years old, he was besieged in the north by the enemy. The commander was captured alive by the enemy. He single-handedly broke into the siege and not only rescued the commander, but also picked up the head of the enemy general and hung it on the city gate to shock the three armies. He also went deep into the enemy camp alone, burned the enemy's food and grass, and obtained the enemy's military deployment map. So far, not only did he save the danger in the north of our dynasty, but he also captured the three cities of Shaoguan, Meizhou, and Yangjiu in one fell swoop. On the day he returned triumphantly with his troops, the people lined the streets to welcome him and cheered continuously... It was originally a glorious day, but the previous emperor died before he could reward him, and he was suddenly poisoned. The current emperor used up all the precious medicinal materials in the treasury and issued a notice to find talented people to save his life... However, he has been injured and sick since then. Not to mention going to the battlefield, he even has no strength to attend court."

"He's a veteran warrior with extraordinary talent. You should admire him. Why are you so scared?"

It turns out he has these stories.

Mu Yingyu swallowed her saliva, "Listen to me, it is said that after he was poisoned, his temperament became very violent and unpredictable. The Queen Mother, that is, my aunt, was afraid that he would die young, so she arranged many noble ladies for him, but without exception, these women died at home three days before the wedding. Some hanged themselves, some were poisoned, and some jumped into the well. Not only did they die, but according to the news from the government, they all suffered inhuman torture before they died, so their deaths were miserable. It is said that Prince Ling sent people to torture these girls to death..."

"During that period, people living in the lanes near Prince Ling's mansion heard women crying in the middle of the night. If a child passed by that lane, he would cry incessantly at night and then fall seriously ill. It was said that he had lost his soul, so they had to invite a witch to set up an incense table in the mansion to call his soul back... Therefore, Prince Ling has since been known as a cruel and merciless person with a bad fate. Even if the Queen Mother wanted to grant a marriage, no family dared to agree to it. They would go to great lengths to find a family to marry their daughter off hastily, so as to avoid an untimely death..."

Mu Yingyu spoke with certainty and in a serious tone.

But Mu Qingyan heard something unusual.

If there is no one behind this, then there must be something fishy going on.

Thinking of this, she suddenly began to sympathize with Prince Ling. He was a favored child of heaven, but ended up with a stigma.

After years of poisoning, he no longer had the fierceness of the battlefield. Now he was weak, and even though he looked energetic with some martial arts skills, as a doctor, he could see the deadness in him at a glance.

The carriage returned to the Duke Fuguo's Mansion. The driver hid inside the door and stared at the person at the door. When he saw the person getting off the carriage, he widened his eyes in shock and hurried to the backyard to inform the person.

"Madam, the eldest lady, the eldest lady is back..."

Lan stood up in shock, but then fell down again in defeat. "So many people can't kill her! Is she the reincarnation of a demon, who came here specifically to oppose me?"

Nanny Zhang also found it unbelievable, because those bandits were well-known desperadoes.

There is no business they cannot succeed in taking!

In order to get the job done, she even gave an extra twenty taels of silver!

"Where's the third girl?" She suddenly thought of something that scared her! Could it be that those people had picked the wrong person?

The man said, "The third girl and the eldest girl came back together."

Aunt Zhang patted her chest. She was glad she didn't make the wrong choice... Otherwise, she would lose her life...

As soon as Mu Yingyu came back, she went to Jingyuan first. Lan caught her and asked, "Yu'er, did you meet anyone outside the city?"

"How did mother know?"

After Mu Yingyu bowed, she sat down and said, "Today was really thrilling and dangerous. We met a group of thieves in the back mountain of Qingguang Temple. They almost cut off my head. Fortunately, we met Prince Ling and his followers saved us."

Of course, these words were taught by Mu Qingyan.

The reason why Mu Yingyu was so obedient was because Mu Qingyan promised that she would accompany her wherever she wanted to go in the future, and she would also teach her martial arts.

This deal is a good deal! But it was just a lie, they did meet King Ling, there is nothing wrong with it.

Mrs. Lan and Nanny Zhang looked at each other and had the same thought in their minds: What good luck.

But with Prince Ling's reputation, why would he be willing to save two unrelated women? Could it be that he had set his eyes on his worthless daughter? Looking at Mu Yingyu who had been eating snacks since she entered the house, she rejected her unrealistic idea.

Thinking of Mu Qingyan's seductive face again, he became furious.

But it was okay. If she was favored by Prince Ling, she would inevitably die a violent death! She might as well fulfill her wish! Anyway, the Queen Mother had never given up the idea of ​​letting Prince Ling marry. However, nowadays, families in the capital with daughters of marriageable age are like frightened birds. When they reach the age, they quickly marry them off to avoid being targeted.

Mu Qingyan didn't know that the Lan family had already made up their mind to push her to Prince Ling.

Because she had not yet entered Taoyuan, her stepfather ordered his followers to invite her to the study.

She couldn't understand why a father would be so cold to his own daughter.
