Seeing Lu Huaiyang's serious expression, the Fifth Prince was stunned for a moment.

"Huaiyang, this is a big deal and also a great opportunity."

The fifth prince advised, "Father has always held you in high regard. If he knew you were the one who discovered this seed... he might thoroughly investigate what happened back then."

Lu Huaiyang's purpose was actually to let the emperor thoroughly investigate what happened that year.

However, I can’t just take the things and negotiate with my father.

"Fifth brother, do you believe in my mother?" Lu Huaiyang looked at the fifth prince and couldn't help but ask.

The Fifth Prince was stunned for a moment, then nodded solemnly, "Of course I believe it. I know Madam Cen's character. If she was truly defiled and had you... she would have died to prove her loyalty and would never return to the capital."

Lu Huaiyang looked at the fifth prince in surprise and felt a little touched.

The Fifth Prince continued, "Besides...when Father spared your life, mother and son, wasn't he thinking the same thing as me?"

Lu Huaiyang was stunned again, looking at the fifth prince, speechless for a long time.

The situation at that time forced me to do so.

If the emperor did not punish them, not only would the lives of the mother and son be in danger, but the situation would also be turbulent.

Therefore, the punishment for the mother and son is both a punishment and a protection!

When Lu Huaiyang heard what the fifth prince said, his expression changed slightly. Although he was always calm, his eyes couldn't help but turn red at this moment.

Seeing his expression, the Fifth Prince couldn't help but sigh: "Do you have any other plans?"

Lu Huaiyang immediately restrained his expression, and when he saw the Fifth Prince, his expression became more serious. "Fifth brother, take the seeds back and give them to father first."

"Tell the emperor that you want to save my mother and find a royal physician for her. He will probably ask more questions."

"If the Emperor asks again... you can tell him that I have been hiding near the capital and am reluctant to leave."

"If Father doesn't ask..."

If the emperor doesn't ask, it means he knows he doesn't care.

The time is not right yet!

Even though now is the best time, we can't rush things.

After hearing what Lu Huaiyang said, the Fifth Prince finally understood. He nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, then it's settled."

The fifth prince said, taking out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and handing them to Lu Huaiyang: "You have suffered here, this money..."

"Fifth brother, take it back." Lu Huaiyang said, "I only have a few shadow guards around me now, and they can be self-sufficient."

"As for the others... I can't use them yet."

"On the contrary, you need to take care of things both in the capital and in the palace."

Lu Huaiyang pondered for a moment and said, "If Fifth Brother has enough money, please help my mother take care of her."

Only when his mother is safe and living a better life can he be free from worries.

Seeing his determined expression, the Fifth Prince nodded solemnly: "Then I will take the things away first."

Lu Huaiyang nodded, but didn't delay any longer for fear of being discovered.

He led the fifth prince and the people he brought directly to the cave.

There were about ten people who came, including Lu Huaiyang's own shadow guards.

These people all brought sacks, and there were carriages at the foot of the mountain. After dragging a few carriages, the Fifth Prince was in a hurry to return to Beijing.

"Huaiyang, take care of yourself. I'm waiting for you to return to the palace as soon as possible!" The fifth prince said to Lu Huaiyang solemnly.

Lu Huaiyang nodded, and the expression on the Fifth Prince's face became more serious. "Well, that day will come soon."

The fifth prince said nothing more and led his men and potatoes away.

Watching the people gradually go away... until the carriage disappeared from sight, Lu Huaiyang turned around and walked back.

As soon as he left, a figure in the darkness, after making sure that Lu Huaiyang had gone far away and had not noticed him, quietly jumped from another direction and disappeared into the night...

The figure arrived near the Lin family, but did not go through any door. Instead, he climbed over the wall and onto the guardrail.

He followed the guardrail and leaped a few times into Lin Wannian's yard.

There was still a candle burning in Lin Wannian's boudoir. She was leaning on the bed, reading a book.

But if you look closely, you will find that she hasn't turned a page in this book for a long time.

Obviously, Lin Wannian was a little absent-minded at the moment.

When she heard the sound of wind outside the door, she immediately turned around and looked outside, and sure enough, she saw a man in nightgown.

The man's eyes were sharp and a bit cold.

Seeing it was him, Lin Wannian breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly closed the book and looked at him: "Are you back?"

"Yes, miss!"

The man bowed and saluted Lin Wannian.

Lin Wannian nodded, her eyes fixed on the man: "What's wrong?"

"I've already told Madam Lin the news. Madam Lin said she would find a way and bring a female doctor to the palace in two days."

"Mrs. Lin said that she would find an opportunity to find Lu Huaiyang's mother and secretly help her heal."

When Lin Wannian heard the man say this, she breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed her whole body.

She thought for a moment and couldn't help asking, "Is it Madam's decision or my father's?"

Mrs. Lin is her biological mother. She has always been gentle, but she is only superficial towards her.

Lin Wannian knew it very well.

"It was Mr. Lin's decision," the man continued, "but Mrs. Lin didn't seem to have any objections."

Lin Wannian nodded.

It was just as she expected.

The Lin family will definitely not refuse such a big thing.

Her father would never miss an opportunity to make friends with Lu Huaiyang.

"The master also said that he will send human traffickers tomorrow, and the people around you... will be sold out temporarily, and will be sent back to you when the time is right." The man continued.

Lin Wannian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, her decision was right.

After telling my father, he will help me secretly.

Even if her stepmother doesn't want to, she has no choice!

At this moment, her eyes suddenly gleamed with confidence.

The confidence that was almost lost due to Ye Nanyue's blow has now recovered a lot.

If she were to live her life again, she would definitely be the chosen one.

God will help her!

Even if Ye Nanyue's life is different from her previous one, she will be divorced sooner or later...

"But...when I came back, I discovered something."

Seeing that Lin Wannian's expression had relaxed, the man couldn't help but say something else.

Lin Wannian couldn't help but frown and glanced at the man strangely: "What's the matter?"

The man then recounted what he had just seen happen: the Fifth Prince meeting Lu Huaiyang and dragging away the potatoes.

Lin Wannian frowned: "Did you hear what they said?"

Potato?

She remembered that in her previous life, half a year later, Lu Huaiyang would meet a remarkable woman.

That woman was unique and different from all the other women who were kept in the boudoir...

And that woman brought Lu Huaiyang a crop called potatoes, and won Lu Huaiyang's heart...

But didn’t that woman show up half a year later?
