The day her husband welcomed the time-traveling girl into the house, she woke up

"Of course, but the Queen is feeling a little unwell today, and I need to rush back to the palace as soon as possible, so please keep your conversation short, Madam Crown Prince."

As Lan Ruo spoke, she walked up to Li Shu and bowed deeply to her.

Li Shu's heart skipped a beat and she immediately knew the answer.

Because Aunt Lanruo usually only bowed halfway when she greeted her.

The full formality would only be performed when it was hinted to her that the situation was not good and she needed to be careful with her words.

This was something my mother casually mentioned to Aunt Lanruo when she was still alive.

I still remember the reason my mother told Aunt Lanruo at the time: the emperor and the empress both liked her very much, and she might often go to the palace in the future. In order to prevent her from making mistakes in the palace, she needed someone who could remind and warn her when necessary.

Although Aunt Lanruo had only reminded her a few times during the years she lived in the palace, she always kept it in mind and would immediately remember it whenever she saw Aunt Lanruo performing the full ceremony to her.

For this reason, she only led Lan Ruo less than ten meters away from the main courtyard, and then she said to the palace servants who followed Lan Ruo out of the palace, "Aunt, I believe you must have known about the emperor's decision to marry the Seventh Princess and Fei'er together with Crown Prince Feng Lan a long time ago, right?"

"Well, I was also quite surprised when I learned about that incident. I imagine Princess Feiyun was quite frightened, right?"

"That's not so bad, because compared to the Emperor letting the Seventh Princess marry her and Prince Fenglan together, the Empress's promise to give half of her dowry to the Seventh Princess is what she can't accept."

"Alas, the Empress is actually thinking about Princess Feiyun. She's afraid that the people will criticize her because her dowry is too large while the Seventh Princess's is too small. But the Crown Prince's wife doesn't need to worry too much. The Empress loves Princess Feiyun so much that she will definitely not force her as long as she doesn't want to."

"I feel relieved with what Auntie said, but I'd like to trouble you to take some time to talk to Fei'er for me. She tends to get carried away if she stays alone for too long."

"Yes."

"Then I won't waste any more of your aunt's time."

After saying this, Li Shu took two steps back.

Lan Ruo bowed deeply to her again before turning and leaving.

Li Shu stood there, watching them leave in the opposite direction, and a guess came to her mind belatedly.

Could Aunt Lanruo be her mother's person?

Is he one of the people that Peacock Terrace planted in Fengyi Palace?

After returning to Zhuyuan, Li Shu immediately asked Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan said, "It shouldn't be. Although I don't know who in Fengyi Palace are our people, the age range is under 25 years old."

"That's it..."

Li Shu responded thoughtfully and picked up Zhizhi.

The little guy seemed to miss her. As soon as she came back, he stuck to her and rubbed against her, which made her feel a lot more relaxed.

Then Lin Yuan handed a letter to her.

It was the prince's reply to her.

The letter said that the prince would come to the Dingbei Marquis Mansion to see her at 3:30 am tonight.

She was quite surprised. After reading the letter, she almost blurted out to Lin Yuan, "Is the Crown Prince also very skilled in martial arts?"

Lin Yuan nodded, "I also discovered this by accident when I was helping the young lady deliver a letter to the East Palace yesterday. The Crown Prince seems to be intentionally hiding his true abilities."

"in this way."

Li Shu felt a little relieved.

In her past understanding, the prince and the emperor had a deep father-son relationship and were almost open with each other.

Therefore, after learning that the emperor's kindness to the prince might not be genuine, she was very worried that the prince would be deposed without any preparation.

But since the prince had reservations, she didn't need to worry about Murong Yunchu's death.

She can be handed over to the prince for protection.

This is also a good opportunity to confirm the prince's trust in her.

That evening, the news that Xie Yu had suffered a heart attack and was on the verge of death spread throughout the capital and also reached Li Shu's ears.

Cuiwei's voice was filled with excitement when she told Li Shu about that incident. "I heard that General Li went to the palace to ask the Emperor for help. After the Emperor's approval, he invited almost the entire Imperial Hospital staff to his general's residence. General Li also asked the Emperor for a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, but the Emperor said that all the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum in the palace had recently been used to treat the Empress's health, and there wasn't a single one left. So, the Second and Third Young Masters Li are now searching all over the capital for it!"

Li Shu was painting at that time.

After hearing Cuiwei's words, she frowned slightly.

Even the reply given by the emperor after Li Yunzhi asked for medicine has spread throughout the capital. This is really rare!

As for Xie Yu's so-called life hanging by a thread, there is no need to waste the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum!

A moment later, she finished her painting and was staring at the family of three on the paper when Lin Yuan quietly climbed in through the back window and placed a cloth bag on her desk.

She looked at the cloth bag with a hint of curiosity, and then she heard Lin Yuan say, "I sneaked into the homes of those in the capital who had thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and exchanged them for all the Ganoderma lucidum."

"Change?"

"Yes, when I took the Ganoderma Lucidum, I also left the corresponding banknotes."

"..."

Li Shu thought to herself that no matter how much money Peacock Terrace had, they couldn't waste it like this! Besides, to put it nicely, it was called exchanging, but to put it bluntly, it was still called stealing!

but……

As long as it can make Li Yan and Li Shen anxious, let them steal. Anyway, no one can find out about Peacock Terrace, let alone her!

What’s more, the owner didn’t suffer any loss!

Aunt Gui observed her reaction carefully.

Seeing that she had no intention of blaming Lin Yuan, she immediately untied the cloth bag with a smile, "As expected of our Lin Yuan, you're really amazing! It just so happens that the young lady needs to replenish her body!"

After saying this, Aunt Gui counted briefly.

There are nine brocade boxes in total.

He then asked, "In such a huge capital city, there are only nine households that have thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum?"

Lin Yuan said: "Maybe there are still some secrets that cannot be made public."

"That's right. People who truly need something this precious won't advertise it to the public."

Nanny Gui nodded and said, then picked up the cloth bag to put it away, but she accidentally caught a glimpse of Li Shu's painting.

I couldn't help but be stunned.

The people in the painting are dressed very strangely indeed.

Not to mention the man, the woman and the little girl were all wearing skirts that didn't even reach their knees!

Not only did her arms show, but her collar was also extremely low!

But what stunned her was not the strange clothes, but the appearance of the woman and the little girl!

That's exactly the general's wife and the young lady!

However, before she could ask anything, Li Shu had already rolled up the painting.

Lin Yuan also saw the painting.

He also recognized two of them as Li Shu and her daughter.

But he just looked at Li Shu thoughtfully and didn't ask any more questions.

*

In the palace, in the beautiful palace.

Lin Qi has broken four or five teacups today.

Even painting couldn't calm her down anymore.

In order to make Li Shu lose more luck at once, she asked Yin Su to ask Eunuch Yuan to leave the palace before dawn to go to the hunting ground to convey the imperial edict.

And Eunuch Yuan did indeed announce the decree in full view of everyone.

But she originally thought that Princess Feiyun would be greatly shocked and extremely sad, which would cause Li Shu to lose tens of thousands of luck at once.

however!
