You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

Royal study room.

The third prince Zhao Hongyi presented an exquisite box with both hands.

"Father, this is the immortality elixir sent by the head of the Divine Doctor Valley. He said that you should take it first. Once he finishes some personal matters, he will prepare more for you."

The Great Yan Emperor took the box with satisfaction and said, "Yier, thank you for your hard work. The virtuous concubine has taught her children well. I will not treat you and your son unfairly."

He opened the box, took out a pill and swallowed it, "After taking this golden pill, I feel much better."

Concubine Lin smiled and handed him a glass of water: "Your Majesty has been in good health recently, with a rosy complexion. The reputation of the Divine Doctor Valley is well-deserved."

The Great Yan Emperor patted the back of her hand and said, "You two can go down first. I will come to your Jingyang Palace tonight."

Concubine Chen smiled and nodded, looking at Zhao Hongyi. After the mother and son bowed, they left the imperial study.

Jingyang Palace.

The mother and son remained silent all the way. After returning to the inner hall of Jingyang Palace and closing the door, Concubine Chen asked quietly, "Are you sure you can't find anything with that elixir?"

"Don't worry, mother, we will never find out.

He's been taking it for a month now. If he takes another month, his body will be completely drained. In another month at most, he'll be terminally ill and bedridden. By then, we'll have everything to say."

Zhao Hongyi was a little proud, "Then, that will be the time when we accomplish our great goal."

"You still have to be extra careful and don't make any mistakes. This is not a joke."

"Don't worry, mother. I guarantee everything will be fine."

Concubine Lin Xian nodded with a smile, "You should also keep a close eye on Zhao Hongbo and Zhao Hongyang. Mother will be keeping an eye on Concubine De and Concubine Shu. The Emperor's heart is with us, and they won't be able to cause any trouble."

"Well, I will keep a close eye on them."

"That's good. With the name of the General's Mansion here, it will be much easier for us to do things. By the way, Jinhao sometimes gets carried away and unreliable. You should remind him to keep a low profile to prevent any bad things from happening."

When Concubine Lin Xian reminded him of this, Zhao Hongyi suddenly remembered something and his expression changed. "Mother, I have something to do and I have to go back to the Prince's Mansion first. I will come to the palace to see you another day."

After saying this, he turned around and left in a hurry.

Concubine Lin frowned, "This child, he is already so old, but he still can't change his impulsive habits."

The palace attendant beside her smiled and consoled her, "Your Highness, His Highness is already very good."

"The emperor's son is naturally better than those ugly ones."

Outside the palace gate.

Zhao Hongyi hurried out of the palace. As soon as he walked out of the palace gate, he saw a carriage galloping towards him from afar.

"call"

The carriage stopped urgently about ten steps away from Zhao Hongyi. Lin Jinhao stuck his head out of the window and said, "Cousin, get in!"

Zhao Hongyi glared at Lin Jinhao in dissatisfaction: "How many times have I told you to be more calm in your work? Why don't you listen?"

"Oh, I'm doing this because I have something urgent to do, and secondly, to maintain my image as a dandy in front of others. Wouldn't this confuse others and help you get things done better?"

"I don't want to talk to you." Zhao Hongyi turned around unhappily and got on the carriage.

"Tell me, what's happened that makes you feel like you've been chased by a dog?"

Lin Jinhao touched his nose and said, "Cousin, I'm in trouble."

"Didn't you borrow two secret guards with high martial arts skills from me? What trouble have you caused me again?"

The situation was serious, and Lin Jinhao didn't dare to hide anything. "I took them to Puhua Temple to see the peach blossoms yesterday, and I went to see Mu Qinxue that night, but someone set me up."

Zhao Hongyi's expression suddenly changed. "Could it be that you were caught in bed with someone?"

"We didn't catch them in bed together, but it's almost the same." Lin Jinhao said angrily with his neck stiff.

"Those two secret guards you gave me were complete idiots. They were easily lured away by someone else, which is why I was tricked. I made a fool of myself this time."

His expression changed rapidly as he spoke, and with a wry smile he pointed out the seriousness of the matter. "The problem now is that Mu Yunge is also here. You better think of a solution quickly."

"What?" Zhao Hongyi was so angry that he lost control and punched Lin Jinhao on the shoulder. "It's over now. With the stubborn temper of the General's Mansion, this marriage we worked so hard to arrange is going to fail."

Zhao Hongyi took several deep breaths and patted his chest for a while before he calmed down a little.

"You, you, you are the one who makes us succeed and you are the one who makes us fail. Why are you so confused? When we succeed, you can marry whoever you want. What woman can you want?

Why did they have to do this at this critical moment? Now, how are we going to end this mess?"

Lin Jinhao called out pitifully, "Cousin, things have come to this, you should think of a remedy quickly."

"Remedy? None! Go to the General's Mansion and apologize, and see if they can forgive you.

I have to make some preparations for both scenarios. We need to make some changes to our layout. You go first, and I'll go back and discuss countermeasures with my staff."

After saying this, Zhao Hongyi jumped off the carriage and walked quickly towards his own carriage, which quickly left.

Seeing this, Lin Jinhao had no choice but to accept his fate and ordered: "Go back home first!"

The Mansion of Duke Yongguo.

Duke Yongguo Lin Xiuye ​​and his family were drinking tea and chatting in the flower hall in the front yard.

Lin Jinhao walked into the flower hall from outside.

The whole family's attention was immediately shifted to him.

The Duke's wife smiled and joked, "Didn't you invite your friends to Puhua Temple to enjoy the peach blossoms? Didn't you stay a few more days? Why are you back so soon?"

"Yes, brother, you refused to let me follow you, so why are you back so angry now?" Lin Jinhao's sister Lin Jinyu asked in confusion.

Lin Jinhao's face darkened, "Father and Mother, I'm in trouble. Last night I went to see Mu Qinxue and was set up. Mu Yunge was there too.

My cousin asked me to go to the general's mansion to apologize. Father and mother, please help me with some advice."

The whole family was stunned.

After a long time, Lin Xiuye ​​stood up and slapped Lin Jinhao in the face.

"You're a jerk who can't do anything right and always causes trouble. Why did I give birth to a jerk like you?"

The Duke's wife hurried forward and pulled Lin Jinhao aside. "You, you, what can you let your mother say about you? Even if you have feelings for Mu Qinxue, it depends on when."

Lin Jinyu opened her mouth wide, as if trying to digest the news. "Brother, with Mu Yunge's personality, I'm afraid this matter won't end well."

Lin Xiuye ​​paced back and forth in the flower hall, and finally stared at his son helplessly.

"It's all our fault for being so indulgent to you. Now that things have come to this, you should just do as your cousin said and go to the general's residence to apologize. Perhaps you'll be forgiven."

After saying this, he instructed the housekeeper who was waiting outside the flower hall, "Go prepare some thorns for the prince."

Lin Jinhao was unwilling to ask, "Then what?"

Lin Xiuye ​​looked at his useless son and asked, "And then, what else do you want?"

"I mean, if the General's Mansion understands, can we proceed as planned?" Lin Jinhao, who was a little confused, said without thinking.

Lin Xiuye ​​snorted coldly, "Are you thinking this is too simple? Just wait and see, who knows how this will turn out."

At this time, the housekeeper brought over three twigs.

"Take off his coat and tie it on his back!"

The housekeeper had no choice but to do as he was told.

After a moment, Lin Xiuye ​​looked at his son who was carrying three thorn branches on his back and said, "Go, I hope it will be useful..."
